Item Submitted By: Jim Callaway
Council Meeting Date: January 27, 2000
Director Approval:
City Manager Approval:
Item: Public hearing, consideration and possible action on an amendment to Chapter 12,
"Zoning", of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, addition a new Section 23,
"Moratorium on Certain Applications".
Item Summary: At the November 9, 1999, Joint Workshop Meeting of the City Council,
Zoning Board of Adjustment and Planning and Zoning Commission, problems associated with
infill development of older residential areas were discussed. On December 9, 1999, staff
presented a status report to Council regarding amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to address
lot sizes and multiple principal structures in these areas. At that time, Council directed staff to
prepare a moratorium ordinance to limit infill in these areas. This is to prevent further
inappropriate infill while new regulations are established and overlay zones created.
The attached amending ordinance establishes two areas for a six month moratorium on
applications for zone changes, conditional use permits, variances, and special exceptions on
property currently zoned single family residential. Commercial and multifamily properties are
not effected. The two areas are:
A. Area 1- An area bounded by Texas Avenue, Holleman Drive, Glade Avenue, Southwest
Parkway, Wellborn Road and George Bush Drive.
B. Area 2- An area bounded by Texas Avenue, University Drive, Tarrow Street, Lincoln
Avenue, University Drive, the Earl Rudder Freeway and Harvey Road.
Budgetary and Financial Summary: N/A
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The P&Z recommended approval with
modifications to the area boundaries. The attached ordinance includes the P&Z's recommended
boundaries revised to be consistent with the boundaries established by Council in the platting -
building permit moratorium (as approved on January 13).
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval. The Council can recommend
alternate areas or changes in the types of applications to be subject to the moratorium.
Council Action Options: Approve, approve with modifications, deny or table.
Supporting Materials: Draft ordinance, P&Z minutes.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Public hearing, consideration and possible action on an
amendment to ordinance #1638, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of College Station,
adding Section 23 MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN APPLICATIONS. (99-814)
This item was presented and discussed with Agenda Item No. 10.
Commissioner Kaiser moved to recommend approval of the moratorium, with
recommendation that "Area A" include the "states" streets, and extend the area to
include properties bounded by George Bush, Wellborn Road, Southwest Parkway,
Glade, up Holleman from Glade, to Texas Avenue. Commissioner Mooney seconded
the motion.
Commissioner Floyd amended "Area B" to exclude the portion bounded by University
Drive, Tarrow, Lincoln (a triangular area).
Commissioner Kaiser amended his motion to include Commissioner Floyd's suggestion.

Item Submitted By: Natalie Thomas Ruiz, Development Manager
Council Meeting Date: January 24th, 2002
DirectorApproval: GUTaa~,. Brym5~
City Manager Approval: ~e arithrr
Item: Discussion and possible action on an ordinance amending the Subdivision Regulations in Chapter 9 of the College
Station City Code, to add Section 18 which limits replatting in subdivisions platted prior to July 15, 1970.
Item Summary: Section 18 was originally adopted as a moratorium ordinance to provide Council with an alternative for
addressing infill issues in older neighborhoods while long term measures are completed through the new Unified
Development Code (UDC). It was originally adopted in February of last year and expired on January 1St of 2002. Due to
recent legislative changes dealing with moratoriums on property development, the expiration date of this section cannot
simply be extended until the UDC is adopted. Due to these changes in state law, multiple public hearings and readings of
the ordinance along with specific findings must be conducted prior to adoption of a moratorium. Once that process is
complete, the moratorium will expire after 120 days unless additional public hearings, multiple readings of the ordinance
and reasonable progress has been made to alleviate the problem.
Therefore, this ordinance amendment is an attempt to provide interim protection for the City's older neighborhoods until
the UDC is adopted. Due to the time consuming moratorium process and its temporary nature, staff is proposing an
ordinance amendment to help protect the City's older neighborhoods from higher density development that may exceed
the capacity of the existing infrastructure. However, the ordinance amendment will apply city-wide and not to the
specific areas previously identified in the moratorium ordinance. The ordinance was drafted with the South Side
and Eastgate neighborhoods in mind; however, it will include lots in the Southwood, South Knoll, Harvey Hillsides and
Cooner subdivisions. A map will be available at the workshop that identifies the areas impacted by this amendment.
This item is listed on both the workshop agenda and the consent agenda. On the consent agenda, the staff will be asking
the Council to approve the ordinance.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Council Action Options: Council may approve the ordinance as submitted, return the ordinance to staff with alternate
direction or deny approval of the ordinance.
