PLANNING
1. Please provide total site area. The pad site is defined on the approved College Station
Shopping Center site plan. The pad site as defined by that site plan should match the area
that is being approved on this site plan. Also, the entrance to this site from the south
entrance is shown as 12' on this plan. The approved plan for the entire center does not
match. Please resolve these discrepancies with their architect. Also, all pad sites must be
able to stand alone for parking and landscaping, so some additional landscaping will be
required for this site on top of what has been approved for the entire center.
2. Please show building set backs. This would only apply along the property line adjacent to
the F.M. 2818 service road, which is considered the front setback for C-1, which is 25'.
3. I was unable to locate elevations in the packet that was submitted. I do have color samples
and material information, but no elevations to see where each color and material will be
located on the building. Please refer to the UDO Section 7.9 for more information about the
City's Non-residential Architectural Standards. Building articulation, roofline, and color and
materials standards must be in compliance with this ordinance. Colors must be in
compliance with the City's approved color palette, with non-palette accent colors up to 5%.
4. This pad site does not include the parking spaces that are being provided along the service
road. Only those spaces located within the pad site will count towards required parking. I am
counting only 28 of the required spaces within the area delineated by the approved College
Station Shopping Center site plan. Unless additional parking can be provided to meet this
requirement in the pad site, provide a note that the 2 additional parking spaces are provided
by the College Station Shopping Center site which has an excess of 19 spaces.
5. All end islands must be a minimum of 180 s.f.
6. Please provide overall building height.
7. Please provide typical bike rack details, including number of bikes than can be parked, and
the type of rack being used.
8. All curbing is required to be 6" raised monolithic curbing.
9. Please provide screening details for solid waste containers. For a double dumpster
enclosure, the dumpster pad must be 12' x 24' on the interior and clear with no bollards. A
fence or masonry wall must be provided to screen the dumpsters from view.
10. Provide note that all signs are under separate permit.
11. Provide a general note that all roof and ground-mounted mechanical equipment shall be
screened from view or isolated so as not to be visible from any public right-of-way or
residential district within 150' of the subject lot, measured from a point five feet above
grade. Such screening shall be coordinated with the building architecture and scale to
maintain a unified appearance.

1. Landscaping is required for this site at 50 pts/1,000 s.f. of site area, and each site must
have a minimum of 800 points.
2. Provide a general note that 100% coverage of groundcover, decorative paving, decorative
rock, or a perennial grass is required in parking lot islands, swales and drainage areas, the
parking lot setback, rights-of-way, and adjacent property disturbed during construction.

ENGINEERING
1. If you are planning on selling off any of the out-parcel sites, you will need to Replat and
extend the public sewer main. Engineering documents are required for the extension of
public infrastructure. If all of the property is under one ownership, private easements are
not required.
2. The minimum sewer service (private) line size for commercial property is 6". Private
sewer will need to meet plumbing code. The minimum line size for public sewer main is
also 6".
3. You will need to tap the existing 6" water main instead of the 24" transmission line.
4. Show location of irrigation meter.
5. Please verify proposed water demand. Seems like a lot of flow for an auto parts store.
6. Add note to Utility Plan that all construction to be in accordance with BCS Unified
Design Guidelines, Specifications and Details.
7. Submit Development Permit with required fees and supporting documents.
8. Provide water design report for fire protection.

FIRE
1. Based on the current location of the building, there is not adequate fire coverage. The
entire building must be covered by a 150-foot arc, no more than 300' from a hydrant as
measured along a public street or designated fire lane. In order to keep this building
configuration, an additional fire lane must be located along the front and side of the
building that at present do not have fire lane along the drive aisle.

The following comments were returned with building plan review. They are being added to this

sheets with elevation information should be removed unless corrected to meet the ordinance. If
the elevations are not approved at site plan review, compliance with all Non-Residential
Architectural standards is required for a building permit.
1. Building does not meet required facade articulation and roofline elevation requirements
set out in the UDO, Section 7.9.C. Along the front entry facade, there must be 2
elements every 45-feet (elements are listed in the referenced UDO section). Along other
facades visible from the ROW, there must be 2 elements every 60-feet.
2. All facades except for the front elevation exceed the limitations placed on EIFS and
concrete products, set out in 7.9.D.2. Further, all buildings are limited to 10% of smooth
