No development approval shall be granted, nor building permit issued , for a development that does not meet the minimum requirements of these Design Standards, except as provided herein. Purpose and Intent The purpose of the City of College Station Site Design Standards is to establish and provide the minimum standards to be adhered to in the design and construction of all commercial and multi-family private improveme nts. It is the intent to obtain high quality construction throughout, with the completed work complying with the Site Design Standards. If requ i red by the Administrator, the Contractor shall furnish satisfactory evidence (including reports or tests) as to the kind and quality of materials to be used. Waiver to the Standards A waive r to the standards may be approved by the Adm inistrator if it is demonstrated that the materials and design are equal or superior to the requirements stated herein . -4 - Pavement and Surfacing Standards Pavement and Surfacing Except as otherwise provided, all off-street parking areas, including drive aisles, driveways and parking stalls, shall be constructed w ith a minimum allowable parking lot pavement of one of the followi'ng options: • Asphalt -a minimum of one and one-half inches (1.5") of asphalt pavement on top of s ix inches (6") of limestone base. Concrete -a minimum of five inches (5") thick; reinforcement within the concrete section shall consist of number four (#4) bars on eighteen inch (18") centers, centered within the pavement thickness. All off-street parking areas shall be installed graded to drain and shall be maintained so as to dispose of surface water accumulated within the area. Parking spaces shall be arranged and marked so as to provide for the safe and orderly parking of vehicles. Non-Public, All -Weather drive surfaces, whether temporary or permanent, that are requ i red for emergency access or turnaround for emergency veh icles must be constructed to function under all weather conditions. To accommodate a project during construction, phasing, or permanent installation, drive surfaces that do not meet the requirements for permanent pavement surfaces may be allowed at the discretion of the Administrator for the specific conditions stated below : • Temporary All-Weather Surface {During Construction): A structure under construction must be access i ble by an all-weather drive surface. This surface may consist of the permanent pavement as descri bed above, or may consist of four inches ( 4 ") of limestone base with a one-course seal coat as specified in the Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways, Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition , Item 316. This temporary all - weather surface must be reworked or replaced to meet the permanent pavement standard as described above prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. • Semi-Permanent All-Weather Surface {During Phasing): In cases duri ng phasing of a large project, emergency access and turnarounds often must be added as a temporary measure until additional phases are constructed . These emergency access areas may consist of permanent pavement surface as described above, or may consist of six inches (6") of limestone base with one-course seal coat as specified in the Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways, Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 316. If the semi -permanent surface is used, the six-inch (6") curb is not required, and these areas must be gated or protected from public usage and signed for emergency access only. When the additional phase is constructed these areas must be removed or reworked to meet the permanent pavement standards as described above. -5 - Pavement and Surfacing Standards • Permanent All-Weather Surface (Permanent): In some development scenarios, an emergency access or turnaround must be constructed to meet emergency access purposes and is not required for public traffic, service vehicles or sanitation vehicles. In these cases, the area required for emergency access only may consist of permanent pavement surface as specified above, or may consist of six inches (6") of limestone base with a two-course seal coat as specified in the Texas Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways, Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 316. If the seal coat surface is used, a six-inch (6") curb is not required, and these areas must be gated or protected from public usage and signed for emergency access only . Curbs A six inch (6") raised monolithic concrete curb shall be required around the entire perimeter of all paved areas, including all parking islands. Design of the combined curb and gutter section must meet minimum standards as shown in the diagram below: O =14 BARS NOTE! TYPE 'G' EXP~Ii::N JOINTS IN MB&.

Wheel stops shall not be permitted as temporary curbing. Temporary curbing must have the appearance of permanent curbing and shall be temporarily attached to the pavement surfacing below and meet the minimum standards for dowelled in curbs as shown in the diagrams below: ~4 BARS I! l 2' CI C - 6 - Pavement and Surfacing Standards Driveway Requirements Com m ercial Dri veways shal l be const ructed t o the st a n dard shown i n the deta i l be low : l!ATOi Fl.IF EXISTIHG WTTE:R TYPE 'D' ElCPllNSIDH .IJIMT.
