activities of the organization.
Victoria Greene, President of the Animal Shelter Board, presented the Mission Statement, “The
Aggieland Humane Society, formally known as the Brazos Animal Shelter, provides humane
shelter, care, and placement for stray and unwanted animals, and promotes the human animal
bond and responsible pet ownership to enhance the quality of life for the people and animals in
our community,” and noted their vision is to be a leader among animal welfare organizations in
Texas. The new Executive Director is Kathy Bice, and new and re-energized board leadership
has been created with Victoria Greene, President; Molly Georgiades, Vice President/Treasurer;
and Darby Roberts, Secretary.
Kathy Bice, Executive Director, reported the goal of the new business model is to save all
adoptable animals, return lost pets to their owners, treat as many treatable animals as possible,
and to be the City’s Animal Shelter and community resource. Their new location is at 5359
Leonard Road in Bryan. The Town and Gown program enhances the community/University
connection through volunteerism, internship, and teaching programs offered at Blinn and Texas
A&M. There is a parks and tourism partnership; Weiner Fest provides a great partnership
between the Humane Society and College Station. They assist Animal Control in health and
safety programs, rabies observations, cruelty support, and they are working on increasing the
number of pets with tags. The adoption program safely places pets into forever homes and keeps
them off the streets and healthy.
7. Presentation and discussion regarding the proposed community Development FY 2013
(PY 2012) Action Plan and Budget.
Bob Cowell, Executive Director of Development Services, Debbie Eller, Assistant Director of
Economic Development, and David Brower, Community Development Analyst, presented the
FY 2012 Annual Action Plan and Budget. Since 1975 the City has received over $32 million in
Community Development Block Grant funding. Since 1992 the City has received over $12
million in HOME funds. The total amount of funding received as of September 2012 is
$32,656,555 for CDBG. While CDBG funds may be used for a variety of community
development activities, HOME funds may only be used for affordable housing activities. Our
local objectives include economic opportunity, strong neighborhoods, and safe, decent,
affordable housing. Funds for public facilities may be used to expand, improve and/or add
public facilities and infrastructure. It must benefit low-to-moderate areas or low-to-moderate
clientele. Improvements may include streets, parks, neighborhood/community centers, sidewalk
projects, and facilities for persons with special needs. Absent these funds, these projects would
either not be competed or would need to be paid for out of general fund revenues/local taxes.
Current affordable housing programs include Down Payment Assistance, Tenant-Based Rental
Assistance, Home Owner Minor Repair/Rehabilitation, Home Owner Reconstruction, Rental
Rehabilitation, and New Construction (Non Profit Partners). Since 1979, the housing needs of
1,221 families have been met. In addition to helping families, this re-development has helped
neighborhood integrity and the City tax rolls. Up to 15% of CDBG funds can be allocated for
local non-profits. In Program Year 2012, $201,215 was allocated to eleven local programs.
10
WKSHP062812 Minutes Page 4
A one-year action plan for Program Year 2012/Fiscal Year re-validates and updates local needs,
addresses specific goals outlined in the City’s 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan and proposes
activities for the upcoming year, represents annual formal application to the Department of HUD
and lists funded activities and specific amounts, and provides for a regular public process.
$46,550 is the cut off for a low-to-moderate income family of four. The proposed budget for the
FY 2012 budget is $1,246,592 for CDBG and $1,992,519 for HOME funds. Funding levels were
recommended for external public services such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Texas,
Brazos Maternal and Child Health Clinic, Brazos Valley Counseling Services, etc. Funding
levels were also recommended for City public services such as Kids Klub and Lincoln Center.
Planned initiatives for 2012-2013 include:
• Support senior housing development
• Construction of new affordable houses through non-profit partners
• Four public facility activities including two Sidewalk Design and Construction Projects,
one Street Rehabilitation Project, and one Park Improvement Project
• Continue Down-Payment Assistance, Homeowner Rehabilitation and Reconstruction,
and Security Deposit Assistance programs
• Initiate a Rental Rehabilitation Program
• Continue to proactively manage costs
• Technical assistance for non-funded agencies
Next steps will be to make a formal application to HUD, and then to advertise for public

Citizen Comments
Brian Leschber, 1716 Starling Drive, stated that his home backs up to the Springbrook HOA-
owned portion of the Lick Creek floodway. He is one of the ten homeowners that have hired
legal representation to stop the transfer of the floodway property to the City. He reported the
13
RM062812 Minutes Page 2
HOA refused an offer of $5,000 for the property, which included allowing all HOA members
access to the property. No counter offer was made. He requested the City consider that the
floodway does flood during most rain events. The resulting debris and mud will need to be
cleaned up after each event, requiring maintenance funds.
Rita Silbernagel, 1800 Holleman, #1216, expressed her concern related to the bus stop for route
27 near her apartment. She stated it is not safe to cross the street safely at that location. The
nearest traffic light is at Texas, and no one is going to walk that far to cross at a light. In the
afternoon, people have to wait two or three minutes before they can cross. Especially in this
heat, people get irritated and will take chances. There needs to be a cross walk installed or
something to facilitate a safe crossing.

Consent Agenda Item No. 2c
Three-way Stop Control for the intersection of
Southern Plantation at Newport
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, P.E., PMP, Public Works Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on the consideration of an
ordinance amending Chapter 10, “Traffic Code,” Section 2.C of the Code of Ordinances of
the City of College Station changing the traffic control at the intersection of Southern
Plantation and Newport from one-way stop controlled operation to three-way stop controlled
operation.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Improving Mobility – Provide complete streets that
accommodate vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: The existing intersection of Southern Plantation and Newport is a T-
intersection created by the termination of Newport at Southern Plantation, which is a minor
collector in the Shenandoah subdivision that extends from just west of Newport to the west
SH 6 frontage road. The Thoroughfare Plan shows Southern Plantation extending to Victoria
by the new College Station High School. Currently, Newport is the only street required to
stop at the intersection since it terminates into Southern Plantation.
Due to the curvature of the roadway in combination with the privacy fence along the north
side of Southern Plantation, the motorists on Newport are unable to see the traffic
approaching from the west a sufficient distance away to enter the intersection safely. The
Bryan-College Station Unified Design Guideline Manual references the American Association
of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design guidelines for intersection
sight distance. This manual identifies sight triangles at intersections that need to remain
clear of obstructions for a driver to safety enter an intersection without causing a crash.
These triangles are based on the speed limit of the major roadway, so higher speed roads
have larger sight triangle requirements.
Budget & Financial Summary: The “Stop” signs are planned operation and maintenance
expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operation budget.

Consent Agenda Item No. 2d
Ratification of Amendment 2 to Contract for Transmission Operations with Bryan
Texas Utilities
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: David Massey, Director of Electric Utilities
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding ratification of
Contract Amendment 2 to Contract 11-350 between the City of College Station and Bryan
Texas Utilities (BTU) extending the term of the contract to allow BTU to continue its
temporary operation of College Station’s electric transmission system until July 31, 2012.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure – Meet or exceed all
state/federal standards.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council ratify Contract Amendment 2.
Summary: Due to staff turnover, College Station does not currently have an adequate
number of NERC certified system operators on staff. Federal and State regulations require
that all Transmission Operators have at least one NERC certified operator on duty during
every shift in Dispatch Operations.
In order to be compliant with NERC regulations, BTU began operating the College Station
Utilities transmission system on September 1, 2011 pursuant to Contract 11-350. Under
the terms of the contract the agreement was to expire December 31, 2011. Contract
Amendment 1 was executed December 7, 2011 and extended the contract to June 30,
2012. Ratification of Contract Amendment 2 will continue that service for the period of July
1, 2012 through July 31, 2012 at an additional cost of $5,000.
The cost of the original contract and Contract Amendment 1totaled $50,000, and the City
Manager was authorized to approve and execute those agreements. However, Contract
Amendment 2 increases the total cost of the contract to $55,000 and requires Council
ratification. The Council will consider a new agreement between College Station and BTU at
its July 26th meeting covering the period from 8/1/2012 to 7/31/2013. The BTU Board is
expected to take action on the new agreement on July 9th.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds for this item were not included in the FY12 budget
as the need was not known when the budget was developed. It is anticipated that budget
can be transferred from other areas in the Electric budget to cover this expenditure.

Office of the Governor Criminal Justice Division (CJD) Grant
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Jeff Capps, Chief of Police
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on the application and
acceptance of an Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division (CJD) Grant.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Financially Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends Council approval
Summary: The CJD’s mission is to create and support programs that protect people
from crime, reduce the number of crimes committed, and to promote accountability,
efficiency, and effectiveness within the criminal justice system. CJD focuses on the
enhancement of Texas' capacity to prevent crime, provide service and treatment options,

emotional and mental health.
This CJD grant will provide 100% funding for the purchase of an all terrain vehicle to be
used in the Northgate Entertainment District and at other special events where large groups
gather. The addition of this piece of equipment will allow officers better mobility through
dense crowds as well as provide them the ability to travel across large areas quickly when
the need to respond to a call arises.
This grant will also provide 100% funding for the purchase of digital cameras to be used by
our patrol officers. There are many times during a patrol shift in which an officer needs a
camera to take photos for evidentiary purposes. Though a few cameras are currently
available to our officers, the numbers are limited requiring officers to share and deliver
cameras from one location to another. This has a profound impact on our efficiency in
addition to the risk of losing evidence if a time sensitive situation arises such as a rain storm
arriving that could wash away evidence or redness from an assault fading.
There is no local match requirement for CJD, but grant funding will only be provided for the
initial equipment purchase. Due to this, any other associated costs such as maintenance,
repair, or replacement will be the responsibility of the grantee agency.
A resolution supporting this grant was previously approved by Council on February 23,
2012. However, after submission of the application, our office was notified by the legal
counsel of the Office of the Governor that they require a “loss/misuse” statement. This
statement states that funding is contingent on funding from the Federal Government and
should the funding be withdrawn, or if the city misuses the funds, the city will reimburse the
Office of the Governor for any funds received.
Budget & Financial Summary: The purchase of the ATV will cost approximately $14,700.
Annual maintenance, repair, or replacement is estimated to not exceed $300. The
equipment necessary to provide each officer with a digital camera will total approximately
$12,122. Annual maintenance, repair, or replacement is estimated to not exceed $2000. A
budget amendment will be brought forward to appropriate these grant funds into the police
department budget.

Regular Agenda Item No. 2
950 William D Fitch Rezoning
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, CNU-A, Executive Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public Jearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
amendment to Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance”, Section 4.2, “Official Zoning Map”
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by rezoning of approximately
1.2 acres from A-O Agricultural Open with OV Corridor Overlay to C-1 General Commercial with
OV Corridor Overlay located at 950 William D Fitch Parkway, generally located at the corner of
William D Fitch Parkway and State Highway 6 South.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse Growing Economy, Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their July
21, 2012 meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request.
Summary: Old Arrington Road Public Right-of-Way was abandoned by City Council on April
26, 2012 to allow development. This rezoning will allow for a continuous C-1 General
Commercial zoning in this area fronting William D Fitch Parkway (State Highway 40).
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map
amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject parcel and surrounding parcels
are shown on the Comprehensive Future Land Use and Character Map and Concept Map
as Urban in Growth Area II which allows for intense land use activities including general
commercial activities. C-1 General Commercial is appropriate for this land use designation.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The rezoning request to C-1 General
Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay is compatible with the existing zoning of the
surrounding properties.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The property is
located near the intersection of William D Fitch Parkway (State Highway 40) and State
Highway 6 making it suitable site for commercial use.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: Due to the
abandonment of this portion of Old Arrington Road, the subject tract remains zoned A-O
Agricultural Open with OV Corridor Overlay which is not beneficial for future development.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: With the
existing zoning of the subject property being A-O Agricultural Open with OV Corridor
82
OVerlay, the property is not marketable as it is surrounded by C-1 General Commercial with
OV Corridor Overlay properties.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 8-inch and 12-inch water
mains available to serve this property. There is also an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line
which may provide service to the site. Existing infrastructure with proposed modifications
appear to be adequate for the proposed use. Access to the site will be available via Old
Arrington Road from the south, and future Public Ways that will ultimately provide access to
William D. Fitch Parkway and Arrington Road. Drainage is mainly to the south within the
Alum Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with site
development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines. The property is not within FEMA designated floodplain. A portion of the property
is located in the Alum Creek Sewer Impact Fee Area (97-02B). Currently, the Impact Fee
for this area is $59.42 per Living Unit Equivalent.

Regular Agenda Item No. 3
Rezoning for 4080 State Highway 6 S
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, CNU-A, Executive Director - Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
amendment to Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance”, Section 4.2, “Official Zoning
Map” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by rezoning
approximately 7.547 acres located at 4080 State Highway 6 S, generally located south of
the SecurCare Self Storage on the frontage road, from A-O Agricultural Open to PDD
Planned Development District.
Relationship to Strategic Initiatives: Diverse Growing Economy, Sustainable City
Recommendations: The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their
June 21st meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend approval as proposed by the applicant. Staff
recommended approval.
Summary: The request is to rezone 7.547 acres between Secure Care Self Storage and
Style Craft Builder’s office, located on State Highway 6, from A-O Agricultural-Open to PDD
Planned Development District for uses that include those allowed in a C-3 Light Commercial
zoning district and a funeral home in Phase 1 of the PDD. The property has frontage on
both State Highway 6 and Longmire Drive. Along Longmire Drive, the proposed PDD abuts
a single-family development on one side. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the
following review criteria for zoning map amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject tract is designated as
Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
The proposed development is consistent with this designation in addition to the land use
designations surrounding the subject tract which include Suburban Commercial and
General Suburban. In addition to allowing only neighborhood-compatible land uses in
Phase 2 and 3 (closest to Longmire Drive), the architecture will be compatible with that
of the surrounding neighborhoods through the use of building materials found in the
neighborhood. Specific materials have not been specified with the PDD.
2. Compatibility of the proposed request with the present zoning and conforming
uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: The
proposed PDD will enable the development of Neighborhood Commercial and Office type
uses, with the addition of a funeral home in Phase 1 closest to State Highway 6. The
funeral home is more intense than typically appropriate for a Suburban Commercial land
use designation, but the location and situation of this phase make the land use more
suitable. The adjacent land uses are a self-storage complex with outdoor storage
facilities and a construction office/design studio for residential construction. Both
properties are zoned C-1 General Commercial, which does allow for the use of a funeral
home. The portion of the proposed development that abuts residential uses will be
restricted in both land use and height to ensure compatibility with the neighborhood.
97
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The
proposed land uses permitted through the proposed PDD include those allowed in a C-3
Light Commercial district and A-P Administrative Professional. In addition, Phase 1,
located adjacent to State Highway 6, will also include the ability to have a funeral home.
This addition does not include the use of a crematorium. Funeral homes are not a
neighborhood-oriented land use, but due to its proximity to State Highway 6 and the
existing C-1 General Commercial land uses directly north and south, the use is suitable
by adding additional architectural features to assist the structure in blending with the
nearby residences. Phases 2 and 3 will include office and neighborhood-oriented
commercial that will also have a residential-style of architecture. These land uses are
suitable adjacent to single-family and are appropriate placed against Longmire Drive
(Major Collector).
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The
current A-O Agricultural-Open zoning district is not suitable for the subject tract due the
presence of State Highway 6 and Longmire Drive (Major Collector) on is northeast and
southwest sides. The activity associated with these thoroughfares makes the land uses
applicable to an A-O zoning district less practical. In addition, the subject tract is
located between two existing commercial sites, and a vacant property zoned for
commercial uses.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by
the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:
Agricultural-related uses and single-family residential are not marketable for the subject
tract due to its suburban surrounding. A minimum lot size of five acre, required by the
A-O zoning district, is not marketable due to the surrounding land uses and zoning
districts that directly abut the subject tract.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: When the proposed
development proceeds through the platting process, right-of-way dedication will be
required along Longmire Drive in order for the site to be in compliance with the City of
College Station Thoroughfare Plan.
There are existing 8-inch and 24-inch water mains available to serve this property.
There are also existing 8-inch sanitary sewer lines which may provide service to the site.
Drainage is mainly to the southeast within the Lick Creek Drainage Basin. Access to the
site will be available via the State Highway 6 Frontage Road and Longmire Drive.
Drainage and other infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing
infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of
the proposed zoning district:
“The purpose and intent of this development is to rezone the property so
development can occur in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. The
98
development will have a mix of commercial and office uses which will
become less intense as the distance from State Highway 6 increases so
that there is a transition from the existing and proposed commercial uses
along State Highway 6 to the residential neighborhoods along Longmire
Drive and Eagle Avenue.”
The proposed Concept Plan includes uses permitted through a C-3 Light Commercial for the
Neighborhood Commercial portions (Phase 1 and 2) and A-P Administrative Professional for
the Office portion (Phase 3). Crematoriums, fuel sales, and commercial amusements are
expressly prohibited. The estimated building plot square footage is 50,000 with individual
buildings ranging between 3,000 and 8,000 square feet. Neighborhood Commercial
buildings will be a maximum of 35-feet in height and Office buildings will be a maximum
height of 30-feet. Roof pitches will have slopes with a minimum of 4:12 and a maximum of
8:12. Flat and shed roofs are expressly prohibited. Eaves shall extend from the building
façade a minimum of 12-inches.
Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications
The applicant is proposing to develop using the C-3 Light Commercial zoning classification
standards for the Neighborhood Commercial portions of the requested PDD, and A-P
Administrative Professional for Office portions. The PDD is divided into three phases. Phase
1 is shown on the Concept Plan as Neighborhood Commercial (C-3 Light Commercial base
zoning). Phase 1 land uses will also include a funeral home. Phase 2 is Neighborhood
Commercial/Office (C-3 Light Commercial base zoning). Phase 3 is shown as Office (A-P
Administrative Professional base zoning).
At the time of plat and site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable site
development standards and platting requirements of the UDO for the C-3 Light Commercial
and A-P Administrative Professional zoning classifications, except where meritorious
modifications are granted with the PDD zoning. The applicant is requesting the following
meritorious modifications:
1. UDO Section 8.2.G.2 “Blocks”
According to subdivision regulations, block lengths over 900 linear feet must be
broken along a street that abuts land designated as Suburban Commercial in the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Block length is required to
be broken by the extension of a public street meeting minor collector standards
(applicable in commercial areas). The Subdivision Regulations allow for a more cost-
effective technique, being a Public Way, in commercial and multi-family
developments. A Public Way is a public access easement of a minimum 40-foot with
a street section built to certain public standards.
The applicant is requesting modification of this requirement for both State Highway 6
and Longmire Drive. The applicant is proposing an alternate connection between the
rights-of-way only through their private parking lots. The 900-foot block length
requirement is in place to ensure public access, to enhance connectivity within
suburban areas and to provide alternative routes of travel through an area. Staff
does not believe there to be sufficient merit to justify the modification, as required
by the UDO.
2. UDO Section 8.2.E.3 “Street Projections”
When a property is platted that abuts other unplatted tracts, the property is required
to project a public street or Pubic Way to the tracts to enable future vehicular
connections. The subject property abuts unplatted tracts on its northern side that
99
are not conducive to a new public connection. Therefore, Staff agrees that merit
exists for this modification.
3. UDO Section 8.2.K.3.a “Sidewalk Exceptions”
A sidewalk is required along the State Highway 6 frontage road. Due to the absence
of sidewalk on the contiguous block’s street frontage, the applicant is requesting
modification from this requirement. The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways
Advisory Board discussed this request during their June 4, 2012 meeting, but did not
provide a recommendation. Staff does not believe there to be sufficient merit to
justify the modification, as required by the UDO.
4. UDO Section 7.5.D.1-2 “Streetscape Requirements”
Street trees are required to be located within 50 feet of a public right-of-way. On
the subject tract, overhead power lines interfere with this requirement causing the
applicant to seek the meritorious modification. The request is to increase the
allowable distance from the Longmire Drive right-of-way up to 60 feet. Therefore,
Staff agrees that merit exists for this modification.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for PDD
Concept Plans:
1. The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in
harmony with the character of the surrounding area: The proposed development will
consist of structures that are compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods by using
materials commonly used within the residential area. Building materials have not been
specified with this PDD and each building is required by ordinance to provide architectural
relief elements. Buildings within Phase 1 area propose to utilize alternative Suburban
Commercial architectural elements that are more commonly found on residential structures.
The proposed land uses being neighborhood-oriented, with the exception of a funeral home,
will provide a variety of land uses within an easy distance to nearby residential units for
vehicle and pedestrian traffic. A sidewalk along State Highway 6 would increase walkability
in the area.
2. The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent
with the intent and purpose of this Section: The Concept Plan reflects the policies,
goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to land use and character,
connectivity, and neighborhood integrity. The Suburban Commercial designation in the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map is intended for development that is
compatible with surrounding residential uses, as proposed with this PDD. Upon the platting
of Phases 2 and 3, the subject tract will be required to provide additional right-of-way along
Longmire Drive in order to comply with the Thoroughfare Plan. In addition, several
components are proposed to promote and protect neighborhood integrity:
a) Buildings within Phase 1 will have 35-percent masonry (stone, brick, tile, or a concrete
product simulating one of these materials) on the primary entrance façade and 20-
percent on other facades visible from a right-of-way. No percentages have been
specified for Phases 2 and 3. This is different from Non-Residential Architectural
Standards which require 25% on façades facing a right-of-way and 10% on all other
facades. The primary entrance façade is not required to face a right-of-way.
b) All building will be required to meet Non-Residential Architectural Standards that
required architectural relief elements on each façade. Phase 1 buildings will utilize
100
alternative architectural relief elements found in the residential area such as (Phases 2
and 3 are not included):
· Covered front porch
· Eaves in excess of 18 inches
· Window canopy
· Transom windows
· Decorative façade lighting
· Chimney or cupolas
c) The dumpster will be located away from residential uses.
d) Flat or shed roofs will be prohibited.
e) Eaves shall extend at least 12 inches from the building façade.
f) Roof slope shall be between 4:12 and 8:12.
g) Maximum building height in Phase 1 will be 35 feet and Phase 2 and 3 will be 30 feet.
h) Foundation landscaping will be provided along 50-percent of the primary entrance
facades and within 3 feet of the buildings.
3. The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and
will not adversely affect adjacent development: The proposed land use, with the
additional compatibility components, is consistent with the level of development occurring in
the immediate vicinity. The development abutting State Highway 6 on the northern and
southern sides include self storage and office. Development has not occurred on the
northern side of the subject tract on the Longmire Drive side, though this area is zoned A-P
Administrative Professional and C-1 General Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial and
Office uses will be compatible adjacent to the abutting single-family residences and add a
variety of land uses in the area which increases the interest and versatility of the area.
4. Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a
public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a
homeowners association: There are no residential uses proposed for this development.
5. The development includes provision of adequate public improvements,
including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities: The
development includes a proposed Access Way, which will be dedicated during the platting
process. In addition, right-of-way will be dedicated along Longmire Drive when the
applicable phases are platted. Meritorious modifications are being requested to sidewalks
along State Highway 6 and street projections. Public sidewalks currently exist along
Longmire Drive.
6. The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity: The requested
modifications associated with block length and sidewalks would cause harm to the public
health, safety, welfare, or abutting properties. Among other responsibilities, Subdivision
Regulations are in place to ensure that development occurs in a way to maximize efficiency
of public infrastructure. The granting of these modifications would be contrary to those
efforts.
The dedication of an Access Way, applicable when platted, will provide pedestrian and
bicycle accommodations through the subject tract which would also be accommodated
through the provision of the required street/Public Way. A vehicular access point may be
accommodated on State Highway 6 through the use of a deceleration lane.
7. The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of
vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic
101
reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses
reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the
area: The proposed PDD will negatively affect the current circulation in the vicinity by not
contributing to the overall network through the extension of a public street or Public Way,
as required by ordinance, which would provide additional route options. The extension of a
public street or Public Way is necessary to complete the street network proposed by the
College Station Thoroughfare Plan and supported by the Subdivision Regulations. Street
connectivity between designated thoroughfares is vital to the future functionality of the
proposed and existing thoroughfares.

Regular Agenda Item No. 4
Conditional Use Permit for 1915 Dartmouth Street
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, CNU-A, Executive Director - Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
ordinance approving a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 12, “Unified Development
Ordinance”, Section 3.15, “Development Review Procedures, Conditional Use Permit”, of the
Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, for the property located at 1915
Dartmouth Street on 4.06 acres zoned Wolf Pen Creek to permit multi-family residential
development on the ground floor.
Relationship to Strategic Initiatives: Diverse Growing Economy, Sustainable City
Recommendations: The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their
June 21st meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. Staff also recommends approval.
Summary: Multi-family residential, when not part of a mixed-use development requires a
Conditional Use Permit to locate on the ground level within the Wolf Pen Creek District. This
property is the rear portion of a larger approximately 14-acre tract at the intersection of
Dartmouth Street and Holleman Drive East which will be developed as either commercial or
mixed-use if developed in accordance with the current plan and ordinances. The Unified
Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for conditional use permits:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) and meet all minimum standards for this type of
use per the UDO: The proposed development will be required to meet all standards for
multi-family residential in the Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) District upon the platting and site
planning of the property. The UDO specifies that the WPC District should encourage the
public and private use of Wolf Pen Creek and development corridor as an active and
passive recreational area while maintaining an appearance consistent with the Wolf Pen
Creek Master Plan. The proposed development does provide this type of encouragement
by providing living space for park users creating the possibility of a lifestyle that
incorporates the creek and park facilities into the residents’ everyday lives. The Wolf
Pen Creek Master Plan encourages mixed-use development as a means of incorporating
multi-family residential uses. This mix may be accomplished through future
development on the front portion of the larger parent tract. The Unified Development
Ordinance specifies in Section 6.2 “Types of Uses” that residential uses are allowed by
right when located above retail or commercial. For the subject tract, a Conditional Use
Permit is being request to allow residential uses on the ground floor. The proposal is
located next to an existing multi-family complex and farthest from the Holleman Drive
East and Dartmouth Street intersection on the approximately 14-acre tract. The subject
tract is required to proceed through the platting and site planning process prior to
development. Being located within the Wolf Pen Creek District, any proposed
development must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to Site
Plan approval.
119
2. The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals
and objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for development in the
City: The subject tract is shown on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map as Urban Mixed-Use with a small portion of Natural Areas-Reserved, all of
which are currently zoned WPC Wolf Pen Creek District. Urban Mixed-Use allows for
multi-family residential development when part of a development that incorporates a
commercial component. The subject tract is the rear portion of an approximately 14-
acre tract at the intersection of Holleman Drive East and Dartmouth Street. The front
portion is currently undeveloped which enables that portion of the property to contribute
to the mixed-use requirement established by both the zoning district and land use
designation. To comply with the Thoroughfare Plan, right-way-dedication will be
assessed along Dartmouth Street and Holleman Drive East when the subject tract is
platted.
3. The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, or safety of
the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or
permanently injurious to neighboring property: The abutting developments include
an apartment complex to the north, an electrical switch station and Post Oak Mall to the
east, and an office building to the south. Each of these land uses is compatible with
multi-family residential. The proposed use will have no detrimental impact on the
health, welfare, or safety of the surrounding properties or occupants.
4. The proposed site plan and circulation plan shall be harmonious with the
character of the surrounding area: The proposed plan shows a vehicular connection
the southern portion of the property, and also shows the only driveway that will be
permitted on the larger parent tract. Upon platting, the development will be required to
provide a cross access easement that is parallel to Dartmouth Street that projects to the
southern portion of the tract.
5. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the
City through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities,
electrical, or water and sewer systems, or on public services such as police and
fire protection, solid waste collection, or the ability of existing infrastructure
and services to adequately provide services: The parent tract of the subject
property will be allowed one driveway off Dartmouth Street, which is being presented
with this Conditional Use Permit request. Limiting access to the minor arterial will limit
points of conflict for vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic making this portion of
Dartmouth Street safer for multi-modal movement. Parking for the use will be
accommodated on site, and the proposed development will not put undo strain on public
facilities such as electric, water, sewer, sanitation, police, and fire.
6. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the
City: The proposed development will comply with all City ordinances and regulations
applicable to the site and proposal.

Regular Agenda Item No. 6
Ordinance Amendments to Regulate Discharges into the City Stormwater System
To: David Neeley, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, CNU-A , Executive Director - Planning and Development
Services
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding
an amendment to Chapter 7, Health and Sanitation, of the Code of Ordinances, adding a
new Section 13 “Stormwater Protection” to regulate discharges into the City stormwater
system and to provide for associated enforcement and penalties procedures; and an
amendment to Chapter 12, Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), of the Code of
Ordinances renaming Article 7, General Development Standards, Section 7.8 as “Flood
Hazard Protection” to be consistent with other Code provisions; adding a new Section 7.13
“Drainage and Stormwater Management” to regulate discharges into the stormwater system
associated with construction or industrial activity; and adding a new Section 10.6 “Specific
Enforcement and Penalties for Drainage and Stormwater Management” to regulate
discharges into the City stormwater system.
Recommendation(s): At their June 21st meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission
unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendments. Staff recommends
approval of the ordinance.
Summary: This subject item proposes an amendment to Chapter 7, Health and
Sanitation, and Chapter 12, Unified Development Ordinance, as accompanying amendments
to regulate discharges into the City stormwater system.
This proposed regulation is to satisfy a state mandate to regulate and enforce discharges
into the stormwater system as required under the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) program. TCEQ has
regulatory authority over discharges of pollutants to Texas surface waters and has issued
the TPDES General Permit No. TXR040000 making it effective beginning 2007 for College
Station as a Phase II small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). Phase II small
MS4s are cities and counties with populations between 1,000 and 100,000.
More specifically, under the general permit the State required MS4s to develop and
implement a locally-tailored 5-year plan referred to as a Storm Water Management Program
(SWMP). There are 6 areas, or Minimum Control Measures (MCMs), that SWMPs were
required to address including: education, public input, illicit discharge elimination,
construction, post-construction, and municipal best management practices. The permit
specifically requires regulatory and enforcement provisions be adopted.
The proposed ordinance amendments are proposed to be adopted into the two noted
portions, general provisions into College Station Code of Ordinances Chapter 7, Health and
Sanitation, and provisions more specific to construction and industrial activity into College
Station Code of Ordinances Chapter 12, Unified Development Ordinance.
Draft ordinance language was provided to the development community in April. A Workshop
item was presented on this topic on June 7 th Planning and Zoning Commission. On June 21st
140
the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and unanimously
recommended the subject ordinances to be adopted.

Real Estate, for the sale of real property located at North Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM

Summary: In 2011 Council gave staff direction to move forward with liquidating certain
properties that the City owned but for which there was no longer a public purpose. This
property was originally purchased by the City in 1980 for $28,984 as a potential future
water pump station site. That project never materialized.
City staff solicited sealed bids for the sale of real property located at North Harvey Mitchell
Parkway (FM 2818). Ashraf Lakhani submitted the high bid in the amount of $211,000.00.
An internal appraisal report prepared by a state certified general real estate appraiser,
dated November 18, 2011, utilizing comparable market sales valued the property at
$98,000.00. Brazos County Appraisal District has the market value listed at $210,570.00.
The property is generally described as an undeveloped 2.417 acre tract, more or less, and
zoned “C-2”, “Retail District”.
Budget & Financial Summary: The sales price of the property is $211,000. Proceeds
from the sale will be deposited back into the Water Capital Fund.

Outgoing members will be invited to a small reception to thank them for their service and to
present them with certificates of appreciation. Immediately after, we will be conducting a
mandatory orientation for all new appointees. Those new appointees will receive their oath of
