Consent Agenda Item No. 2c
Approval of Extension of Closing Date for Sale of First Street Property
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Randall Heye, Assistant to the City Manager
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion to approve extending the
closing date for the sale of the First Street Property to Asset Plus Realty Corporation.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse growing economy
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve extending the closing
date for the sale of the First Street Property to Asset Plus Realty Corporation (Asset Plus) to
no later than December 2, 2013.
Summary: On February 14, 2013 City Council entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement
with the Research Valley Partnership (RVP) to convey the First Street Property to Asset Plus
for development pursuant to an economic development agreement with the City. Under the
City’s Purchase & Sale Agreement with the RVP, the closing for the sale of the property
“shall be held at the title company selected by Seller within forty-five (45) calendar days
from the date of this Agreement . . . or at such time and date as Seller and Buyer may
agree upon so as to facilitate the sale of the Property to Asset Plus.”
Under the original Purchase & Sale Agreement between the RVP and Asset Plus, Asset Plus
was entitled to a 120-day Feasibility Period and a 30-day extension of that period. The
extension was initiated and was scheduled to end July 22. Asset Plus then requested and
the RVP agreed to amend their Purchase & Sale Agreement to provide Asset Plus an
additional 60-day extension of their Feasibility Period with an October 15 closing date. Now
Asset Plus has requested a second extension of the Feasibility Period to end November 1,
with a final closing date no later than December 2.
As a result, the sale of the property will not occur within the provisions provided under the
City’s existing contract with the RVP. Council’s action to approve the extension of the closing
date to no later than December 2, 2013 will accommodate the second extension approved
between the RVP and Asset Plus.

Consent Agenda Item No. 2d
Ratification of Roadway Striping
And Markings Service Contracts
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, P.E., PMP, Public Works Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding ratification of
contract award #13-361 and #13-407 to N-Line Traffic Maintenance for the installation of
traffic pavement markings.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Core Services and Infrastructure
2. Improving Transportation
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends ratifying contracts #13-361 and #13-407 to N-
Line Traffic Maintenance for the installation of traffic pavement markings.
Summary: A contract for striping and markings services was awarded to Highway
Technologies of Austin, and approved by City Council November 8, 2012. Highway
Technologies declared bankruptcy earlier this summer. Fortunately, Highway Technologies
did not leave any projects partially complete.
Due to concerns over safety, staff felt that Texas Avenue needed new pavement markings
this summer. Without a pavement markings contractor under contract, staff solicited
quotes from contactors in late July. Staff received two quotes to complete Texas Avenue
markings which were partially installed by TXDOT; DIJ Construction of Bertram, Texas in the
amount of $57,130.00 and N-Line Traffic Maintenance of Bryan, Texas in the amount
$36,900.00.
In late August a surface treatment was installed along Southwest Parkway in an effort to
preserve the integrity of the pavement and base material. Similar to the situation on Texas
Avenue, staff felt that the lack of pavement markings along Southwest Parkway between
Texas Avenue and Earl Rudder Freeway created a safety issue. Therefore, staff requested a
proposal from N-Line Traffic Maintenance to install pavement markings along Southwest
Parkway. The second contract awarded to N-Line Traffic Maintenance was for $27,367.50.
Staff did not receive any other proposals for the markings on Southwest Parkway.
Although individually, each contract is within the approval authority of the City Manager, the
amount of the two contracts combined exceeds that approval authority. Therefore, staff is
requesting ratification of these two contracts. Staff is currently working with the City of
Bryan to release a joint invitation to bid for the annual installation of pavement markings.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds are available in the Public Works Traffic Division
Operation and Maintenance Funds.

Chapter 2 – Animal Control Ordinance Update
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Jeffrey Capps, Chief of Police
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding proposed
changes to Chapter 2 – Animal Control of the City of College Station Ordinances.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends adoption of the proposed changes.
Summary:
State law requires a veterinarian to examine and establish a proper veterinarian-
client-patient relationship with each animal prior to legally practicing veterinary
medicine on the animal. However, most shelters do not employee a full-time
veterinarian and frequently take in large numbers of animals, making it difficult to
keep these animals isolated until a veterinarian can provide a full examination on
each animal. Proper disease control practices advise against housing a potentially
infected animal with the general population of animals without first administering
vaccinations.
Based upon the Texas Occupation Code §801.004, if the animal shelter owns, is an
employee of the owner, or is the “designated caretaker” of the animal, the
unlicensed shelter staff may treat the animal with over-the-counter vaccinations
without exposing the veterinarian to liability.
In most shelters, core intake vaccinations are provided by lay shelter staff working
under veterinarian-developed protocols. However, if a veterinarian is working with
the shelter and the shelter does not own the animal because ownership has not yet
legally transferred to the shelter, the veterinarian may be responsible for the actions
of the shelter staff. In this situation, the veterinarian or shelter staff could be
considered practicing veterinary medicine without first establishing a proper
veterinarian-client-patient relationship. Therefore, it is important that City
Ordinances officially designate and refer to animal shelters as “designated
caretakers” in order to maintain the proper veterinarian relationships and statuses
pursuant to state law.
This ordinance modification expands the definition of “Animal Shelter” to include the
shelter being considered a “designated caretaker” of animals immediately upon
intake at the shelter.

FM 2818 School Speed Zone
To: Kathy Merrill, Interim City Manager
From: Chuck Gilman, P.E., PMP, Public Works Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on consideration of an
ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 2F, of the College Station Code of Ordinances
regarding the Traffic Control Device Inventory, Schedule V (School Zones).
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure & Improving
Transportation
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: This item will amend Schedule V of the Traffic Control Device Inventory by
adding a 35 mph school zone on FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway), Welsh Avenue and
Nueces Drive adjacent to A&M Consolidated High School. The school zone will begin on
Welsh and Nueces where the existing 25 mph school zones end as well as extend along FM
2818 from west of Welsh to east of Nueces.
Since FM 2818 is a roadway owned and maintained by the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT), the reduced speed limit in the school zone must be approved by
TxDOT. With a speed limit of 50 mph along FM 2818 in front of the school, the most TxDOT
will allow the speed limit to be reduced to in this area is 35 mph. Because the speed limit
on FM 2818 is 35 mph and proper notification of the school zone speed limit is required, the
sections of Welsh and Nueces that approach FM 2818 must have the same school zone
speed limit.
The attached revised Exhibit B - Schedule V of the Traffic Control Device Inventory,
indicates the proposed addition in bold italics, which are all under the section for A&M
Consolidated High School.
Budget & Financial Summary: It is anticipated that an aerial school zone flasher system
will be constructed for the notification of this school zone. A total of $60,000 is budgeted for
the design and construction of this notification system. This budget for this project came
from traffic signal bond funds authorized as part of the 2008 General Obligation Bond
package.

Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on consideration of an
ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 3, of the College Station Code of Ordinances
regarding the speed limits on FM 2818.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Core Services and Infrastructure & Improving
Transportation
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: This item will amend Schedule XII of the Speed Limits Established for Certain
Described Streets by modifying the posted speed limits along FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell
Parkway) in accordance with a speed study recently conducted by the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) and approved the TxDOT in Austin.
In general, the speed limits along FM 2818 were reduced between George Bush and Welsh
Avenue. The existing 60 mph speed limit extends from the north city limit line to just west
of Wellborn Road and then the speed limit drops to 50 mph to a point just east of Rio
Grande. The proposed limit of the 60 mph zone now ends just west of George Bush.
Beginning at this point and extending to east of Wellborn, the proposed speed limit is 55
mph. From this point east of Wellborn, the speed limit will remain 50 mph to Rio Grande,
and the existing 45 mph zone will remain as is (beginning east of Rio Grande and extending
to SH 6).
Budget & Financial Summary: The Texas Department of Transportation installs and
maintains the speed limit signs along all state roadways, such as FM 2818. There is no
financial responsibility to the City associated with the passage of this speed limit ordinance.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church Rezoning

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 1.35 acres
in Oak Terrace Addition, Lots 11-16, Block 12, 1.46 acres in Tauber Subdivision, Lots 1-5 &
16-20 and associated BPP, Block 4, and 1.02 acres in Ramparts Subdivision, Part of Tracts C
& D, recorded in Volume 10683, Page 240 of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas
and Nagle Street right-of-way between these properties, generally located at 601 Cross
Street, 700 Cross Street, and 402 Nagle Street from NG-3 Residential Northgate to NG-2
Transitional Northgate.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their
September 5, 2013 meeting and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request.
Staff also recommended approval of the request.
Summary: This request is to rezone the property from NG-3 Residential Northgate to NG-2
Transitional Northgate to develop a parking garage and associated uses for St. Mary’s
Catholic Church.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map
amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject properties are designated
as Urban and Urban Mixed Use 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 Urban
and Urban Mixed Use.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed request will enable the
development of Urban and Urban Mixed Uses that are compatible with the Northgate
Area. The main purpose of this rezoning is to enable the development of a structured
parking garage by St. Mary’s Church that may be utilized for a variety of church needs.
The adjacent properties are zoned for a high-density mix of uses.
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 zoning change to NG-2 Transitional Northgate, allows the development of a
mix of residential and commercial uses. Unlike other Northgate zoning districts, the NG-
2 zoning district allows for the construction of structured parking, consistent with the
church’s vision for the property. This rezoning request is proposing a shift in the
location of a common zoning border between NG-2 and NG-3.
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
132
property is currently zoned NG-3 Residential Northgate, which allows for the
development of primarily residential uses with 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:
The applicant has stated “the properties proposed for rezoning are currently NG-3 and
are suitable for residential developments. However, in light of the recently added and
ongoing multiple residential developments at the east end of the Northgate District, the
loss of potential residences on these lots to the Northgate community are negligible, and
the benefits of adding a new public parking garage close to campus, for use by visitors
and nearby residents alike, are significant.”
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 6- and
8-inch water mains available to serve this property, but additional mains may be needed
with site development. There are also existing 6- and 10-inch sanitary sewer lines
which may provide service to the site. Sanitary sewer capacity is limited based on the
recent development in the area. It appears that there is adequate capacity to support
the proposed use; however capacity will be further evaluated with site development.
Drainage is mainly to the northwest within the Burton 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. Existing
infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time, but additional
improvements may be necessary with site development.
Access to the site will be provided on Nagle Street and Cross Street, which are both
Minor Collectors on the Thoroughfare Plan. The Northgate District exempts developers
from providing a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA).

Summary: As part of the on-going implementation of College Station’s Comprehensive
Plan, the City created its Neighborhood, District, and Corridor Planning program to provide
focused action plans for smaller areas of the City. Under this program, the City has adopted
the Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, Southside
Neighborhood Plan, Medical District Master Plan, and the Wellborn Community Plan. These
plans focus on the particular needs and opportunities of the specific areas.
The South Knoll Area Neighborhood Plan process began in the fall of 2012 with background
field work and the creation of the volunteer Neighborhood Resource Team. Over the past 10
months, staff has worked with the neighborhood to develop a plan to address neighborhood
integrity, community character, mobility, and public facilities and services. Over the course
of the planning process, six public neighborhood meetings and nine Neighborhood Resource
Team meetings were held.
The primary plan elements are described below and included Neighborhood Integrity and
Community Character; Mobility; Public Facilities and Services, and Implementation.
Neighborhood Integrity and Community Character
Neighborhood integrity can be described as a measure of the quality of life in a
neighborhood. It includes resident involvement, preservation of neighborhood resources,
neighborhood identity and investment, property maintenance, and adherence to adopted
codes. Neighborhood integrity builds relationships among various groups so that proactive
and positive interaction can occur. The objective is to address issues and work toward
common goals of retaining the strength and vitality of the neighborhood.
Community character relates to the stability, sustainability, and vitality of an area through
the appropriate placement and interaction of land uses. The Community Character section
of this chapter identifies the location of future land uses in order to create, protect, and
143
enhance places of distinction throughout the community.
This chapter focuses on land use, character preservation, and neighborhood organizations,
with an established Neighborhood Integrity & Community Character Goal for the South
Knoll Area to be a neighborhood that is desired and valued for its single-family-
friendly character with:
Reduced character impact of high-density housing in the neighborhood;
Continued investment in and maintenance of area schools, parks, and trails;
Preservation of the existing larger-lot development pattern and eclectic
architecture; and
Effective neighborhood organizations.
The strategies in this chapter focus on increased code compliance and property maintenance
standards, additional parking standards, and the preservation of historic resources.
Mobility
Mobility addresses vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian movements within and through an
area. Whether for transportation or recreation, good connectivity improves the quality of life
for neighborhood residents. The purpose of mobility in neighborhood planning is to ensure
that all modes and routes of transportation are safe and reliable, and minimize congestion
on the road system including an adequate and efficient street network, designated bike
routes, a sufficient sidewalk network, and local transit services.
This chapter focuses on pedestrian and bicycle safety, accessibility, and the function of
streets, with an established Mobility Goal for the South Knoll Area to maintain a safe
and efficient transportation network and improve multi-modal transportation
options by increasing the continuity of bicycle and pedestrian routes to key
destinations, while protecting the single-family character and integrity of the
neighborhood.
The strategies in this chapter focus on additional parking restrictions to increase safety,
additional sidewalks and intersection improvements, and amend the Bicycle Master Plan.
Public Facilities and Services
Neighborhood identity is made up of a variety of elements including public and private
landscaping, community gathering places, park development and maintenance, fencing,
drainage, sidewalk and public facility maintenance, and signage that serves to enhance an
area’s aesthetic quality. Together these elements can provide a distinct image for an area.
Maintaining or improving that identity is important to promoting the long-term viability and
attractiveness of a neighborhood. Public investments such as utility and street
rehabilitation, drainage improvements, and streetlight programs can support neighborhood
investment. Building on these elements throughout the neighborhood can strengthen its
overall image and identity.
This chapter focuses on strategies relating to community services, infrastructure, capital
investments, and public safety with an established Public Facilities and Services Goal for
the South Knoll Area is to provide and maintain public facilities and services that
meet the needs of the residents and positively contribute to the integrity of the
neighborhood and an enhanced single-family friendly character.
The strategies in this chapter focus on increased code compliance and property
maintenance, increased public safety, and park improvements.
144
Implementation
The final chapter includes all of the strategies and actions that are proposed in the Plan. The
plan implementation period is five to seven years. Specifically, this chapter assigns the
estimated cost of implementing a particular strategy, a timeframe for when the strategy will
be implemented, and the entity that is responsible for implementing the strategy.
Budget & Financial Summary: Capital and operations and maintenance costs are noted in
the Plan.

Executive Summary: Identified Issues and Strategies for Action
The conversion of single-family homes to rental properties occupied by college-age residents
was repeatedly and overwhelmingly identified during this process as the main concern of South
Knoll residents and as the source of many other issues. The goal of this plan is to propose actions
and to enhance and support the single-family home character of the Neighborhood.
The following is a condensation of the issues and action strategies identified in this report.
Detailed explanations, descriptions and specific strategies are found in the report’s chapters.

with parking restrictions added as recommended. (M1.1)
Limit parking where current patterns create safety issues for residents exiting their
driveways. (M1.2)
Address known parking issues, such as approved but un-installed signage, confusing
signage and known emergency access problems. (M1.3) (M1.4) (M1.5) (M1.6) (M1.7)
Traffic, Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements and Safety
