AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration, discussion, and possible action to approve meeting Minutes. Board Member Denton motioned to approve the meeting Minutes, from October 6, 2014. The motion was seconded by Board Member Batenhorst and was approved (7-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a Bike Share Program. Dr. Teresa Qu's PLAN 674: Transportation Systems Analysis class was available to share their research and finding on their Bike Share Travel Demand Analysis. Board Member Boatcallie asked if the projected results versus the actual results with the existing program showed any anticipated results. Dr. Qu explained that there is no true comparison between the projected and actual results of the study because of the short and long term trips. However, bike sharing has quadrupled in the year 2014. Board Member Lasley asked if the optimal solution to biking was found to be round trip biking or a one-way program. Dr. Qu explained that a one -way program is more convenient, but round trip biking makes more sense. Mr. Boatcallie asked how the group proposes to balance too many or not enough bikes at stations. Dr. Qu stated that the study proposed 19 stations which should make the program workable and keep the bike distribution even. Board Member Shafer asked how the class determined their attractor and generator locations for the analysis . Dr. Qu said that the locations were based on a 2012 report done on this area and also based on the functionality of the area. Board Member Lasley asked if any estimations were taken into account based on future developments planned for the Northgate area . Dr. Qu stated that the class used the available data for new and planned developments in that area for the study. Mr. Lasley asked that other areas be studied for a Bike Sharing Program. Chairman Brick asked if the Board could be presented with a cost to do a city -wide feasibility study for a bike share program. AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Draft 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategies. Brad McCaleb was available to share an update on the 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan; the proposed Memorandum of Understanding for a regional bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure coordination program; and an adopted funding policy for bicycle and pedestrian only projects .. Mr. Boatcallie asked if the proposition one projections for funding are still accurate . Mr. Mccaleb explained that they are still accurate. AGENDA ITEM NO. 6: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Plan of Work. This item was tabled due to time constraints and will be presented at a later meet i ng.

Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842 Phone 979 .764 .3570 I Fax 979.764 .3496 MEMORANDUM Members of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board Jason Schubert, AICP, Principal Planner Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Standards Contained in the Non-Residential Architectural Standards Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding existing bicycle and pedestrian standards contained in the non -residential architectural standards. Background: An item within the 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission Plan of Work included a review of the existing Non -Residential Architecture (NRA) Standards contained in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to evaluate if updates are needed to reflect current practices and allow more flexibility in design . Staff has held multiple workshop meetings with the Commission, local architects, and the development community to summarize the existing standards and seek input on potential revisions. Though non -architectural types of standards are contained in the NRA section, the impetus for the changes largely relate to concerns about the effect the requirements have on building design. As the amendment would alter how the bicycle and pedestrian standards apply to projects subject to NRA, the UDO requires the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board to provide a recommendation regarding the ordinance to the Planning & Zoning Commission. As ordinance language has not been drafted yet, the purpose of this item is to provide an overview of the existing bicycle and pedestrian standards and outline the anticipated approach to the revisions . An item to consider proposed revisions will be scheduled for a future Board meeting, likely in March . The NRA Standards were initially implemented in 2003 with the adoption of the UDO and expanded in 2004 to their current scope . The Northgate districts are exempt from the NRA standards as they have their own architectural , bicycle, pedestrian, and other zoning requirements. Changes proposed with this will only seek to revise NRA Standards and will not change any of the standards for the Northgate districts . Included below is a summary of the bicycle and pedestrian standards contained in the current NRA Standards: Summary of Bicycle and Pedestrian Standards Contained in the NRA Standards Applicability -The Non-Residential Architectural (NRA) Standards section applies to the development, redevelopment and fa~ade changes to all non-residential buildings with the following specific exceptions : • Zoning : Developments in the following zoning districts are exempt from the requirements: BPI Business Park Industrial, M -1 Light Industrial, M -2 Heavy Industrial , R&D Research & Development, NG-1 Core Northgate, NG-2 Transitional Northgate, NG-3 Residential Northgate, and BP Business Park is also exempt except for the buildings along the periphery of a BP district. • Uses : These uses are exempt from the requirements regardless of the zoning district in which they are located: Churches, Primary & Secondary Educational Facilities (schools), Municipal Industrial Facilities, and private utility buildings that are screened from public or private rights-of-way. f'.

This list was reviewed last year based on their short (0-10 years), near (11-20 years) and long term (21 -30 years) prioritization . All projects were reviewed and a top 3 list was determined based on the following criteria: 1. Ownership -Higher priority to City owned property or existing easements 2. Immediacy of Development in the surrounding area -Higher priority to areas where residential development will occur in the next few years 3. Other factors considered : a. Safety b. Connectivity to Schools and Parks c. Regional Connectivity The Board's top priorities and other changes consisted of the following : Map ID Name Miles Priority Type Notes A College Avenue Side Path 0.79 Short-term ROW To be funded with MPO FY19 B Bee Creek West Trail 0.42 Short-term purchase Submitted Unfunded project required c Spring Creek Trail 3.49 Short-term City owned Submitted Unfunded project • Harvey Road/SH 6 Connector -From short-term to near-term • Wolf Pen Creek Extension -From short-term to near-term • Appomattox Extension -From near-term to short-term • Bee Creek Central Park-From short-term to near-term Attached is a trail projects map and spreadsheet with corresponding trail projects with additional information .
