PDD POLICY
AS APPROVED BY THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 2001
The goal of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage innovative development that is
sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural environment. In order to justify varying from certain
standards, the proposed development should demonstrate community benefits. To achieve this goal, the City
of College Station has adopted the following policies:
1. CONCEPTS ONLY: A PDD should not be used to guarantee specific site or building characteristics within
a development. A PDD should be submitted for multiple sites, and should not be used to apply additional
development standards to a single site.
2. RELIANCE ON EXISTING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: A PDD should not be used to require buffering
or other standards that are over and above existing district standards. If the existing buffering standards
are deemed inadequate, the standards themselves should be reviewed and upgraded.
3. INNOVATIVE DESIGN: A PDD application should be encouraged where a development is to follow a
modern trend style such as new urbanism, mixed use, or cluster, and that includes all or some of the
following elements:
❑ Preservation of open space in prominent locations with good vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle
access
❑ Preservation of wetlands, ponds, or other natural resources
❑ Good connectivity within the development as well as connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and
thoroughfares
❑ Significant amenities located in highly visible locations with good vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle
access
❑ Preservation of significant tree stands
❑ Inclusion of neighborhood supporting uses such as workplaces, recreation, shopping, and personal
services with orientation to the neighborhood and good pedestrian and bicycle access
❑ Incorporation of public transit waiting stations in pedestrian friendly areas
❑ Accommodation of the existing topography to minimize required grading
❑ A mix of residential densities and housing styles
❑ Inclusion of urban open spaces such as plazas or marketplaces
❑ Location of elementary school sites in areas easily accessible by pedestrians and cyclists
❑ Connectivity of natural areas within the development and to those in surrounding areas
❑ Avoidance of cul -de -sacs
❑ Traffic calming features
❑ Vistas
❑ Pedestrian and /or bicycle trails and paths
❑ Parking located such that it is screened or hidden from view
❑ Avoidance of a monotonous "superblock"
❑ A commercial frontage that is two or three stories, with architectural embellishments
❑ Street trees and peripheral landscaping
❑ Streetscape features
4. SENSITIVE AREAS: A PDD should be required in infill areas to assure similar residential densities to
those of the surrounding area.
1- Aug -02 4 of 5
5. MERITORIOUS MODIFICATIONS: A developer may choose to request a PDD if the proposed
development will result in alternative bulk standards than currently exist in the City of College Station
development regulations. These may include variations such as:
➢ Decreased lot size
➢ Decreased lot dimensions
➢ Decreased right -of -way and /or street widths
➢ Alternative access to the public street requirements for lots, such as may be desired for traffic
calming or to create vistas /views to internal or external amenities
➢ Reduction in standard buffering requirements or fencing requirements
➢ Increase in height restrictions
➢ Alternative sidewalk requirements
➢ Alternative site landscaping requirements
If the developer requests significant variations from the above list, the plans should also include a
significant amount of elements from the first list of beneficial development elements.
