this section, a police officer or code compliance officer must ask the reason for the person
being on the premises and consider whether a defense applies. A violator may be fined up to
$500.

individual applicants, were also reviewed. A non-refundable registration fee will be charged

MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Nichols and a second by Councilmember
Benham, the City Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed, to approve the Consent
Agenda. The motion carried unanimously.
REGULAR AGENDA
1. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Resolution 03-27-
14-01, granting conditional consent to the creation of Brazos County Municipal Utility
District No. 1, consisting of approximately 553 acres and located at 17529 State Highway
South, in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Lance Simms, Planning and Development Services, stated that the Resolution grants conditional
consent to create a Municipal Utility District (MUD) in Brazos County. Conditions include:
City’s approval before issuing bonds
Development Agreement
Strategic Partnership Agreement
Open meetings / financial transparency requirements
He explained that a MUD is political subdivision of the state authorized to provide infrastructure
within a defined area (District). A MUD is a development finance tool that is especially useful
in undeveloped areas that lack adequate infrastructure. The proposed development has a total
area of 553 acres. It is a Master Planned community with 1,380 single-family homes with 27
acres of commercial development, sixteen acres of business/technology park, a fourteen-acre
CSISD learning center, 73 acres of detention/greenways, and over five miles of walking trails.
Questions for policy considerations include: are there plans to annex the subject property within
the next five years, and is the proposed MUD located within the ETJ of two or more cities? They
RM032714 Minutes Page 4
looked at the Comprehensive for guidance. Comprehensive Plan considerations include
community character and growth management and capacity. An overlapping tax rate breaks
down as:
County - $0.4875
CSISD - $1.32
BC ESD #1 - $0.0288
Proposed MUD - $1.00
Total Tax Rate - $2.8363
The process has several steps, including the City’s consent, a TCEQ application and consent, a
Development Agreement, a Strategic Partnership Agreement, a Utility Agreement, and the
Subdivision process.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution granting conditional consent to set the stage for the
developer to take the next step. This MUD will allow us to extend land use authority into the
ETJ, have development consistent with the Comp Plan, and infrastructure review and inspection.
The MUD will accommodate future growth and provide for development without the City’s
investment. The City would receive revenue from water/wastewater revenue.
At approximately 7:54 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Carol Biggs, 5505 Timberwood Drive, submitted written comments in favor, attached.
Will Faules, 607 Russett Valley Drive, Cedar Park, is the national event manager for a race
association. They conduct many events at the Texas World Speedway and provide hundreds of
jobs. While a new development will help the economy, it will do so at the expense of an
established economy. He asked Council to demand a sustainable plan showing if there are
contaminated lands and if they can sustain the economy.
Michael Globe, 4514 Devon Street, Houston, said he is the president of the Lone Star Region of
the Porsche Association of America. They host seven events annually with hundreds of
attendees. TWS is booked every weekend of the year with approximately 400 people spending
the weekend here and spending their money at College Station hotels, restaurants and stores.
Bill Mather, 2065 Yaupon Lane, said he is the developer. There have been three environmental
assessments done, and there are no environmental problems. He would not build a house and
put a family on contaminated property. This is not a subdivision; it is a master planned
community. It will take about ten to fifteen years to develop and create a quality of life. MUD’s
are a tool where sound municipal planning can merge with private enterprise.
Sam Crumpacker, 900 Holleman Drive, stated he moved here to attend school. The Speedway
was a huge part of his college life and remains so for current students. It was a place to work and
instilled a passion for racing. A big part of his business plan for his motor scooter business is
TWS. Losing the Speedway will impact his business greatly. It is a large part of the reason he
decided to remain in College Station.
Buck Prewitt, 2302 Scotney Court, MUD’s are not unusual in the state of Texas, but they are in
Brazos County. They are a partnership between a City and private development. That is a good

Steve Robinson, attorney for the developer, explained the MUD rate and how it impacts the
homebuyer and the debt.

Boyett, from Patricia to Church Avenue.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:Core Services and Infrastructure, and Multi-modal Transportation
Recommendation(s):Staff Recommends approval.
Summary:In July 2011,an MOU was executed with the Northgate District Association that,among
other things,established sixteen (16)on-street parking spaces free to the public twenty-four 24 hours a
day,seven (7)days a week.During the Pedestrian Improvement project,six (6)head-in free parking
spaces were established on Boyett Street from University to Patricia to address the MOU requirement.
These spaces were subsequently converted to 3 parallel free spaces to alleviate traffic safety concerns of
head-in parking at a highly congested traffic area.Staff worked with the Northgate District Association to
determine a solution and added additional free parking spaces to ensure compliance with the MOU.
This action removes five (5)metered parking spaces on the west side of Boyett Street from Patricia to
Church Avenue.One parking space was removed near the intersection of Boyett Street and Church due
to space and traffic safety concerns.
The ordinance establishes four (4)two-hour free parking spaces on Boyett Street from Patricia to Church
Avenue.The spaces on Boyett Street from Patricia to Church Avenue were identified to replace the lost
free parking spaces.This creates a total of seventeen (17)on-street parking spaces free to the public
twenty-four 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week, which exceeds the requirements of the MOU.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of a U.S. Geological Joint Funding
Agreement for Water Resources Investigations for Stream Stations.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
··Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s):Staff recommends approval of the agreement.
Summary:This agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is for the installation, operation, and
maintenance of stream stations that will help provide actual field-measured data for the future calibration
of our engineered flood studies. The City of College Station’s regulated floodplains impact hundreds of
properties with values in the millions of dollars. The City has undertaken several major capital projects
that are influenced by best available flood studies. Associated flood insurance rates and development
regulation as well as general impacts to many citizens is broad. Due to this significance, it is important
for our flood studies to be as accurate as possible.
The stations provided for by this agreement will collect a continuous reading of stormflow data to more
accurately calibrate the local FEMA floodplain studies where rainfall through a mathematical relationship
directly corresponds to streamflows and depth. This direct calibration will allow for more efficient
floodplain management. Measuring streamflow accurately requires specialized instrumentation and
personnel. USGS provides ongoing inspection and maintenance for the station instruments and data
confirmation. Additionally, information from the two USGS stage and streamflow stations (as well as all
USGS stations) will be available in essentially real time via the National Water Information System Web
Interface (NWISWeb) for Texas at:<http://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/rt>. Additional technical
information is available on the USGS fact sheet “How Does a U.S. Geological Survey Stream Gage Work?”
at <http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2011/3001/>.
Budget & Financial Summary:A Service Level Adjustment titled “Floodplain Management / Streamflow
Stations” was approved in FY14 for this effort. A total of $100,000 was budgeted in FY14 in the Drainage
Utility Fund. This included budget for the initial installation of two stream stations and budget for the
estimated annual operations and maintenance costs.

File #:14-344,Version:1
Future annual operation and maintenance would require additional agreements to be considered annually.
This re-occurring operation and maintenance costs is estimated to be approximately $31,000 total for the
two stations per year. The referenced SLA budgeted a 5 year period for the continued operation and
maintenance of the USGS stations.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends that Council approve the estoppel certificate between
DRI/APRC Northgate, LLC., the City of College Station and the Research Valley Partnership, Inc.
Summary:An estoppel certificate is a document used in mortgage negotiations to establish facts and
financial obligations. It is typically required by a lender of a third party in a real estate transaction.
In order to facilitate the redevelopment of approximately 3.36 acres in Northgate, City Council is
being asked to approve the estoppel certificate between DRI/APRC Northgate, LLC., the City of
College Station and the Research Valley Partnership, Inc. This is in accordance with the Economic
Development Agreement between the City, the Research Valley Partnership, Inc., and Asset Plus
Realty Corporation effective February 21, 2013. In addition to certifying that the borrower is not in
default under the Economic Development Agreement and that Subsection 3.5(c) of the agreement no
longer applies, the City and RVP agree to sign a release of the Buyback Option in recordable form at
such time when the borrower performs under Subsection 3.3 of the agreement.
Budget & Financial Summary: Earlier this year, the City and Asset Plus Realty Corporation closed on
the property for a net sale price of $2,975,000.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an Inter-Local Agreement for the Brazos
Valley Groundwater Conservation District to grant the City $57,500 for creation of a website to
provide homeowners with information to conserve lawn irrigation water.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
··Core Services and Infrastructure
··Sustainable City
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Inter-Local Agreement.
Summary: The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District (BVGCD) is seeking to implement
innovative methods to promote water conservation. Working together, City staff, BVGCD and Texas
A&M Agri-Life have developed an Inter-Local Agreement (ILA) that, if approved, will create a system
to provide homeowners with information that will allow them to avoid over-watering their lawns and
landscaping. This system will install a weather station and four rain gauges that auto-report to a
database, which uses the data to calculate the evapotranspiration in various areas of the City.
Homeowners will be able to get this information from a website that will let them choose the area in
which they live, and the system will tell them how much water is needed for their lawns in the coming
week. The system will also offer users to sign up and provide an email address, so they can receive
automatic weekly email updates. Staff expects this system will be highly beneficial and will promote a
large degree of water conservation.
The proposed ILA will grant the City $57,500. Of this amount, $22,500 will be used to purchase and
install the weather station and rain gauges from Campbell Scientific, plus pay for one year of cellular
data communications. The remaining $35,000 will be used to contract with Agri-Life for creation of
the database and website.

File #:14-350,Version:1
If Council approves this ILA, both the purchase order and the Agri-Life contract will be executed
under City Manager approval. The contract has already been reviewed and approved by Legal. This
ILA was unanimously approved by the BVGCD Board on March 13, 2014.
Budget & Financial Summary: There will be no net financial impact to Water Fund for this item as
funds will be received to offset the expenditure. However, a budget for the expenditure will need to be
established and will be included on a future FY14 budget amendment.
Reviewed and Approved by Legal:Both the ILA and the contract with Agri-Life have been
reviewed and approved by Legal.

B. Definitions
1. Area Command (Unified Area Command). An organization established (1) to oversee
the management of multiple incidents that are each being managed by an ICS
organization or (2) to oversee the management of large or multiple incidents to which
several Incident Management Teams have been assigned. Sets overall strategy and
Ver 2.0 BP-3
05/05
priorities, allocates critical resources according to priorities, ensures that incidents are
properly managed, and ensures that objectives are met and strategies followed. Area
Command becomes Unified Area Command when incidents are multijurisdictional.
2. Disaster District. Disaster Districts are regional state emergency management
organizations mandated by the Executive Order of the Governor relating to Emergency
Management whose boundaries parallel those of Highway Patrol Districts and Sub-
Districts of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
3. Disaster District Committee. The DDC consists of a Chairperson (the local Highway
Patrol captain or command lieutenant), and agency representatives that mirror the
membership of the State Emergency Management Council. The DDC Chairperson,
supported by committee members, is responsible for identifying, coordinating the use of,
committing, and directing state resources within the district to respond to emergencies.
4. Emergency Operations Center. Specially equipped facilities from which government
officials exercise direction and control and coordinate necessary resources in an
emergency situation.
5. Public Information. Information that is disseminated to the public via the news media
before, during, and/or after an emergency or disaster.
6. Emergency Situations. As used in this plan, this term is intended to describe a range of
occurrences, from a minor incident to a catastrophic disaster. It includes the following:
a. Incident. An incident is a situation that is limited in scope and potential effects.
Characteristics of an incident include:
1) Involves a limited area and/or limited population.
2) Evacuation or in-place sheltering is typically limited to the immediate area of the
incident.
3) Warning and public instructions are provided in the immediate area, not
community-wide.
4) One or two local response agencies or departments acting under an incident
commander normally handle incidents. Requests for resource support are
normally handled through agency and/or departmental channels.
5) May require limited external assistance from other local response agencies or
contractors.
6) For the purposes of the NRP, incidents include the full range of occurrences that
require an emergency response to protect life or property.
b. Emergency. An emergency is a situation that is larger in scope and more severe in
terms of actual or potential effects than an incident. Characteristics include:
1) Involves a large area, significant population, or important facilities.
2) May require implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place sheltering and
implementation of temporary shelter and mass care operations.
3) May require community-wide warning and public instructions.
4) Requires a sizable multi-agency response operating under an incident
commander.
Ver 2.0 BP-4
05/05
5) May require some external assistance from other local response agencies,
contractors, and limited assistance from state or federal agencies.
6) The EOC will be activated to provide general guidance and direction, coordinate
external support, and provide resource support for the incident.
7) For the purposes of the NRP, an emergency (as defined by the Stafford Act) is
“any occasion or instance for which, in the determination of the President,
Federal assistance is needed to supplement State and local efforts and
capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, or
to lessen or avert the threat of catastrophe in any part of the United States.”
c. Disaster. A disaster involves the occurrence or threat of significant casualties and/or
widespread property damage that is beyond the capability of the local government to
handle with its organic resources. Characteristics include:
1) Involves a large area, a sizable population, and/or important facilities.
2) May require implementation of large-scale evacuation or in-place sheltering and
implementation of temporary shelter and mass care operations.
3) Requires community-wide warning and public instructions.
4) Requires a response by all local response agencies operating under one or more
incident commanders.
5) Requires significant external assistance from other local response agencies,
contractors, and extensive state or federal assistance.
6) The EOC will be activated to provide general guidance and direction, provide
emergency information to the public, coordinate state and federal support, and
coordinate resource support for emergency operations.
7) For the purposes of the NRP, a major disaster (as defined by the Stafford Act) is
any catastrophe, regardless of the cause, which in the determination of the
President causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major
disaster federal assistance.
d. Catastrophic Incident. For the purposes of the NRP, this term is used to describe
any natural or manmade occurrence that results in extraordinary levels of mass
casualties, property damage, or disruptions that severely affect the population,
infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions.
An occurrence of this magnitude would result in sustained national impacts over
prolonged periods of time, and would immediately overwhelm local and state
capabilities. All catastrophic incidents are Incidents of National Significance.
7. Hazard Analysis. A document, published separately from this plan, that identifies the
local hazards that have caused or possess the potential to adversely affect public
health and safety, public or private property, or the environment.
8. Hazardous Material (Hazmat). A substance in a quantity or form posing an
unreasonable risk to health, safety, and/or property when manufactured, stored, or
transported. The substance, by its nature, containment, and reactivity, has the
capability for inflicting harm during an accidental occurrence. Is toxic, corrosive,
flammable, reactive, an irritant, or a strong sensitizer, and poses a threat to health and
the environment when improperly managed (Includes toxic substances, certain
infectious agents, radiological materials, and other related materials such as oil, used
oil, petroleum products, and industrial solid waste substances).
Ver 2.0 BP-5
05/05
9. Incident of National Significance. An actual or potential high-impact event that requires
a coordinated and effective response by and appropriate combination of federal, state,
local, tribal, nongovernmental, and/or private sector entities in order to save lives and
minimize damage, and provide the basis for long-term communication recovery and
mitigation activities.
10. Inter-local agreements. Arrangements between governments and/or organizations,
either public or private, for reciprocal aid and assistance during emergency situations
where the resources of a single jurisdiction or organization are insufficient or
inappropriate for the tasks that must be performed to control the situation. Commonly
referred to as mutual aid agreements.
11. Stafford Act. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
authorizes federal agencies to undertake special measures designed to assist the
efforts of states in expediting the rendering of aid, assistance, emergency ser vices, and
reconstruction and rehabilitation of areas devastated by disaster.
12. Standard Operating Guidelines. Approved methods for accomplishing a task or set of
tasks. SOGs are typically prepared at the department or agency level.
IV. SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
A. Situation
Brazos County is exposed to many hazards, all of which have the potential for disrupting the
community, causing casualties, and damaging or destroying public or private property. A
summary of our major hazards is provided in Figure 1. More detailed information is provided
in our Hazard Analysis, published separately.

B. Assumptions
1. Brazos County will continue to be exposed to and subject to the impact of the hazards
described above and as well as lesser hazards and others that may develop in the
future.
2. It is possible for a major disaster to occur at any time and at any place. In many cases,
dissemination of warning to the public and implementation of increased readiness
measures may be possible. However, some emergency situations occur with little or no
warning.
3. Outside assistance will be available in most emergency situations, affecting our county.
Since it takes time to summon external assistance, it is essential for us to be prepared to
carry out the initial emergency response on an independent basis.
4. Proper mitigation actions, such as floodplain management and fire inspections and
building inspections, can prevent or reduce disaster-related losses. Detailed emergency
planning, training of emergency responders and other personnel, and conducting
periodic emergency drills and exercises can improve our readiness to deal with
emergency situations.
V. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. Objectives
The objectives of our emergency management program are to protect public health and
safety and preserve public and private property.
B. General
1. It is our responsibility to protect public health and safety and preserve property from the
effects of hazardous events. We have the primary role in identifying and mitigating
hazards, preparing for and responding to, and managing the recovery from emergency
situations that affect our community.
2. It is impossible for government to do everything that is required to protect the lives and
property of our population. Our citizens have the responsibility to prepare themselves
Ver 2.0 BP-7
05/05
and their families to cope with emergency situations and manage their affairs and
property in ways that will aid the government in managing emergencies. We will assist
our citizens in carrying out these responsibilities by providing public information and
instructions prior to and during emergency situations.
3. Local government is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping local emergency
responders and emergency management personnel, providing appropriate emergency
facilities, providing suitable warning and communications systems, and for contracting
for emergency services. The state and federal governments offer programs that provide
some assistance with portions of these responsibilities.
4. To achieve our objectives, we have organized an emergency management program that
is both integrated (employs the resources of government, organized volunteer groups,
and businesses) and comprehensive (addresses mitigation, preparedness, response,
and recovery). This plan is one element of our preparedness activities.
5. This plan is based on an all-hazard approach to emergency planning. It addresses
general functions that may need to be performed during any emergency situation and is
not a collection of plans for specific types of incidents. For example, the warning annex
addresses techniques that can be used to warn the public during any emergency
situation, whatever the cause.
6. Departments and agencies tasked in this plan are expected to develop and keep current
standard operating procedures that describe how emergency tasks will be performed.
Departments and agencies are charged with ensuring the training and equipment
necessary for an appropriate response are in place.
7. This plan is based upon the concept that the emergency functions that must be
performed by many departments or agencies generally parallel some of their normal
day-to-day functions. To the extent possible, the same personnel and material
resources used for day-to-day activities will be employed during emergency situations.
Because personnel and equipment resources are limited, some routine functions that do
not contribute directly to the emergency may be suspended for the duration of an
emergency. The personnel, equipment, and supplies that would normally be required for
those functions will be redirected to accomplish emergency tasks.
8. We have adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) in accordance with
the President’s Homeland Security Directive (HSPD)-5. Our adoption of NIMS will
provide a consistent approach to the effective management of situations involving
natural or man-made disasters, or terrorism. NIMS allows us to integrate our response
activities using a set of standardized organizational structures designed to improve
interoperability between all levels of government, private sector, and nongovernmental
organizations.
9. This plan, in accordance with the National Response Framework (NRF), is an integral
part of the national effort to prevent, and reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism,
major disasters, and other emergencies, minimize the damage and recover from attacks,
major disasters, and other emergencies that occur. In the event of an Incident of
National Significance, as defined in HSPD-5, we will integrate all operations with all
Ver 2.0 BP-8
05/05
levels of government, private sector, and nongovernmental organizations through the
use of NRF coordinating structures, processes, and protocols.
C. Operational Guidance
We will employ the six components of the NIMS in all operations, which will provide a
standardized framework that facilitates our operations in all phases of emergency
management. Attachment 7 provides further details of the NIMS.
1. Initial Response. Our emergency responders are likely to be the first on the scene of an
emergency situation. They will normally take charge and remain in charge of t he
incident until it is resolved or others who have legal authority to do so assume
responsibility. They will seek guidance and direction from our local officials and seek
technical assistance from state and federal agencies and industry where appropriate.
2. Implementation of ICS
a. The first local emergency responder to arrive at the scene of an emergency situation
will implement the incident command system and serve as the incident commander
until relieved by a more senior or more qualified individual. Th e incident commander
will establish an incident command post (ICP) and provide an assessment of the
situation to local officials, identify response resources required, and direct the on-
scene response from the ICP.
b. For some types of emergency situations, a specific incident scene may not exist in
the initial response phase and the EOC may accomplish initial response actions,
such as mobilizing personnel and equipment and issuing precautionary warning to
the public. As the potential threat becomes more clearly and a specific impact site
(or sites) identified, an incident command post may be established, and direction and
control of the response transitioned to the Incident Commander.
3. Source and Use of Resources.
a. We will use our own resources, all of which meet the requirements for resource
management in accordance with the NIMS, to respond to emergency situations,
purchasing supplies and equipment if necessary, and request assistance if our
resources are insufficient or inappropriate. §418.102 of the Government Code
provides that the county should be the first channel through which a municipality
requests assistance when its resources are exceeded. If additional resources are
required, we will:
1) Summon those resources available to us pursuant to inter-local agreements.
See Attachment 6 to this plan, which summarizes the inter-local agreements and
identifies the officials authorized to request those resources.
2) Summon emergency service resources that we have contracted for. See
Attachment 6.
3) Request assistance from volunteer groups active in disasters.
4) Request assistance from industry or individuals who have resources needed to
deal with the emergency situation.
Ver 2.0 BP-9
05/05
b. When external agencies respond to an emergency situation within our jurisdiction,
we expect them to conform to the guidance and direction provided by our incident
commander, which will be in accordance with the NIMS.
D. Incident Command System (ICS)
1. We intend to employ ICS, an integral part of the NIMS, in managing emergencies. ICS
is both a strategy and a set of organizational arrangements for directing and controlling
field operations. It is designed to effectively integrate resources from different agencies
into a temporary emergency organization at an incident site that can expand and
contract with the magnitude of the incident and resources on hand. A summary of ICS
is provided in Attachment 7.
2. The incident commander is responsible for carrying out the ICS function of command --
managing the incident. The four other major management activities that form the basis
of ICS are operations, planning, logistics, and finance/administration. For small-scale
incidents, the incident commander and one or two individuals may perform all of these
functions. For larger incidents, a number of individuals from different departments or
agencies may be assigned to separate staff sections charged with those functions.
3. An incident commander using response resources from one or two departments or
agencies can handle the majority of emergency situations. Departments or agencies
participating in this type of incident response will normally obtain support through their
own department or agency.
4. In emergency situations where other jurisdictions or the state or federal government are
providing significant response resources or technical assistance, it is generally desirable
to transition from the normal ICS structure to a Unified or Area Command structure. This
arrangement helps to ensure that all participating agencies are involved in developing
objectives and strategies to deal with the emergency. Attachment 7 provides additional
information on Unified and Area Commands.
E. ICS - EOC Interface
1. For major emergencies and disasters, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be
activated. When the EOC is activated, it is essential to establish a division of
responsibilities between the incident command post and the EOC. A general division of
responsibilities is outlined below. It is essential that a precise division of responsibilities
be determined for specific emergency operations.
2. The incident commander is generally responsible for field operations, including:
a. Isolating the scene.
b. Directing and controlling the on-scene response to the emergency situation and
managing the emergency resources committed there.
c. Warning the population in the area of the incident and providing emergency
instructions/information to them.
d. Determining and implementing protective measures (evacuation or shelter-in-place)
for the population in the immediate area of the incident and for emergency
responders at the scene.
Ver 2.0 BP-10
05/05
e. Implementing traffic control arrangements in and around the incident scene.
f. Requesting additional resources from the EOC.
3. The EOC is generally responsible for:
a. Providing resource support for the incident command operations.
b. Issuing community-wide warning.
c. Issuing instructions and providing information to the general public.
d. Organizing and implementing large-scale evacuation.
e. Organizing and implementing shelter and mass care arrangements for evacuees.
f. Coordinating traffic control for large-scale evacuations.
g. Requesting assistance from the State and other external sources.
4. In some large-scale emergencies or disasters, emergency operations with different
objectives may be conducted at geographically separated scenes. In such situations,
more than one incident command operation may be established. If this situation occurs,
a transition to an Area Command or a Unified Area Command is desirable, and the
allocation of resources to specific field operations will be coordinated through the EOC.
F. State, Federal & Other Assistance
1. State & Federal Assistance
a. If local resources are inadequate to deal with an emergency situation, we will request
assistance from the State. State assistance furnished to local governments is
intended to supplement local resources and not substitute for such resources,
including mutual aid resources, equipment purchases or leases, or resources
covered by emergency service contracts. As noted previously, cities must request
assistance from their county before requesting state assistance.
b. Requests for state assistance should be made to the Disaster District Committee
(DDC) Chairperson, who is located at the Department of Public Safety District Office
in Bryan, TX. See Appendix 3 to Annex M, Resource Management, for a form that
can be used to request state assistance. In essence, state emergency assistance to
local governments begins at the DDC level and the key person to validate a request
for, obtain, and provide that state assistance and support is the DDC Chairperson.
A request for state assistance must be made by the chief elected official (the County
Judge/Mayor(s)) and may be made by telephone, fax, or teletype. The DDC
Chairperson has the authority to utilize all state resources within the district to
respond to a request for assistance, with the exception of the National Guard. Use of
National Guard resources requires approval of the Governor.
c. The Disaster District staff will forward requests for assistance that cannot be satisfied
by state resources within the District to the State Operations Center (SOC) in Austin
for action.
2. Other Assistance
a. If resources required to control an emergency situation are not available within the
State, the Governor may request assistance from other states pursuant to a number
Ver 2.0 BP-11
05/05
of interstate compacts or from the federal government through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
b. For major emergencies and disasters for which a Presidential declaration has been
issued, federal agencies may be mobilized to provide assistance to states and local
governments. The National Response Framework (NRF) describes the policies,
planning assumptions, concept of operations, and responsibilities of designated
federal agencies for various response and recovery functions. The
Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex of the NRF addresses the federal response to
major incidents involving radioactive materials.
c. FEMA has the primary responsibility for coordinating federal disaster assistance. No
direct federal disaster assistance is authorized prior to a Presidential emergency or
disaster declaration, but FEMA has limited authority to stage initial response
resources near the disaster site and activate command and control structures prior to
a declaration and the Department of Defense has the authority to commit its
resources to save lives prior to an emergency or disaster declaration. See Annex J,
Recovery, for additional information on the assistance that may be available during
disaster recovery.
d. The NRF applies to Stafford and non-Stafford Act incidents and is designed to
accommodate not only actual incidents, but also the threat of incidents. Therefore,
NRF implementation is possible under a greater range of incidents.
G. Emergency Authorities
1. Key federal, state, and local legal authorities pertaining to emergency management are
listed in Section I of this plan.
2. Texas statutes and the Executive Order of the Governor Relating to Emergency
Management provide local government, principally the chief elected official, with a
number of powers to control emergency situations. If necessary, we shall use these
powers during emergency situations. These powers include:
a. Emergency Declaration. In the event of riot or civil disorder, the County Judge
and/or Mayor(s) may request the Governor to issue an emergency declaration for
this jurisdiction and take action to control the situation. Use of the emergency
declaration is explained in Annex U, Legal.
b. Disaster Declaration. When an emergency situation has caused severe damage,
injury, or loss of life or it appears likely to do so, the County Judge and/or Mayor(s)
may by executive order or proclamation declare a local state of disaster. The County
Judge and/or Mayor(s) may subsequently issue orders or proclamations referencing
that declaration to invoke certain emergency powers granted the Governor in the
Texas Disaster Act on an appropriate local scale in order to cope with the disaster.
These powers include:
1) Suspending procedural laws and rules to facilitate a timely response.
2) Using all available resources of government and commandeering private
property, subject to compensation, to cope with the disaster.
Ver 2.0 BP-12
05/05
3) Restricting the movement of people and occupancy of premises.
4) Prohibiting the sale or transportation of certain substances.
5) Implementing price controls.
A local disaster declaration activates the recovery and rehabilitation aspects of this
plan. A local disaster declaration is required to obtain state and federal disaster
recovery assistance. See Annex U, Legal, for further information on disaster
declarations and procedures for invoking emergency powers.
c. Authority for Evacuations. State law provides a county judge or mayor with the
authority to order the evacuation of all or part of the population from a stri cken or
threatened area within their respective jurisdictions.
H. Actions by Phases of Emergency Management
1. This plan addresses emergency actions that are conducted during all four phases of
emergency management.
a. Mitigation
We will conduct mitigation activities as an integral part of our emergency
management program. Mitigation is intended to eliminate hazards, reduce the
probability of hazards causing an emergency situation, or lessen the consequences
of unavoidable hazards. Mitigation should be a pre-disaster activity, although
mitigation may also occur in the aftermath of an emergency situation with the intent
of avoiding repetition of the situation. Our mitigation program is outlined in Annex P,
Mitigation.
b. Preparedness
We will conduct preparedness activities to develop the response capabilities needed
in the event an emergency. Among the preparedness activities included in our
emergency management program are:
1) Providing emergency equipment and facilities.
2) Emergency planning, including maintaining this plan, its annexes, and
appropriate SOGs.
3) Conducting or arranging appropriate training for emergency responders,
emergency management personnel, other local officials, and volunteer groups
who assist us during emergencies.
4) Conducting periodic drills and exercises to test our plans and training.
c. Response
We will respond to emergency situations effectively and efficiently. The focus of
most of this plan and its annexes is on planning for the response to emergencies.
Response operations are intended to resolve an emergency situation while
minimizing casualties and property damage. Response activities include warning,
Ver 2.0 BP-13
05/05
emergency medical services, firefighting, law enforcement operations, evacuation,
shelter and mass care, emergency public information, search and rescue, as well as
other associated functions.
d. Recovery
If a disaster occurs, we will carry out a recovery program that involves both short-
term and long-term efforts. Short-term operations seek to restore vital services to
the community and provide for the basic needs of the public. Long -term recovery
focuses on restoring the community to its normal state. The federal government,
pursuant to the Stafford Act, provides the vast majority of disaster recovery
assistance. The recovery process includes assistance to individuals, businesses,
and to government and other public institutions. Examples of recovery programs
include temporary housing, restoration of government services, debris removal,
restoration of utilities, disaster mental health services, and reconstruction of
damaged roads and bridges. Our recovery program is outlined in Annex J,
Recovery.
VI. ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

B. Assignment of Responsibilities
1. General
For most emergency functions, successful operations require a coordinated effort from a
number of departments, agencies, and groups. To facilitate a coordinated effort, elected

A. General
1. The County Judge and/or Mayor(s) is responsible for establishing objectives and policies
for emergency management and providing general guidance for disaster response and
Ver 2.0 BP-25
05/05
recovery operations, all in compliance with the NIMS. During disaster s, the CEO(s) may
carry out those responsibilities from the EOC.
2. The EMC(s) will provide overall direction of the response activities of all our
departments. During major emergencies and disaster, he/she will normally carry out
those responsibilities from the EOC.
3. The EMC(s) will manage the EOC.
4. The Incident Commander, assisted by a staff sufficient for the tasks to be performed, will
manage the emergency response at an incident site.
5. During emergency operations, department heads retain administrative and policy control
over their employees and equipment. However, personnel and equipment will carry out
mission assignments directed by the incident commander. Each department and
agency is responsible for having its own operating procedures to be followed during
response operations, but interagency procedures, such as common communications
protocol, may be adopted to facilitate a coordinated effort.
6. If our own resources are insufficient or inappropriate to deal with an emergency
situation, we may request assistance from other jurisdictions, organized volunteer
groups, or the State. The process for requesting State or federal assistance is covered
in section V.F of this plan; see also the Request for Assistance form in Annex M,
Appendix 3. External agencies are expected to conform to the general guidance and
direction provided by our senior decision-makers.
B. Emergency Facilities

command posts will be established in the vicinity of the incident site(s). As noted
previously, the incident commander will be responsible for directing the emergency
response and managing the resources at the incident scene.
2. Emergency Operating Center (EOC). When major emergencies and disasters have
occurred or appear imminent, we will activate our EOC, which is located in Bryan, TX
near the Brazos County Courthouse.

VIII. READINESS LEVELS
A. Many emergencies follow some recognizable build-up period during which actions can be
taken to achieve a gradually increasing state of readiness. We use a four-tier system.
Readiness Levels will be determined by the Mayors and/or County Judge or, for certain
circumstances, the Emergency Management Coordinator. General actions to be taken at
each readiness level are outlined in the annexes to this plan; more specific actions will be
detailed in departmental or agency SOPs.
B. The following Readiness Levels will be used as a means of increasing our alert posture.
1. Level 4: Normal Conditions
a. Emergency incidents occur and local officials are notified. One or more departments
or agencies respond to handle the incident; an incident command post may be
established. Limited assistance may be requested from other jurisdictions pursuant
to established inter-local agreements.
b. The normal operations of government are not affected.
2. Level 3: Increased Readiness
a. Increased Readiness refers to a situation that presents a greater potential threat than
“Level 4”, but poses no immediate threat to life and/or property. Increased readiness
actions may be appropriate when the situations similar to the following occur:
1) Tropical Weather Threat. A tropical weather system has developed that has the
potential to impact the local area. Readiness actions may include regular
situation monitoring, a review of plans and resource status, determining staff
availability and placing personnel on-call.
2) Tornado Watch indicates possibility of tornado development. Readiness actions
may include increased situation monitoring and placing selected staff on alert.
3) Flash Flood Watch indicates flash flooding is possible due to heavy rains
occurring or expected to occur. Readiness actions may include increased
situation-monitoring, reconnaissance of known trouble spots, deploying warning
signs.
Ver 2.0 BP-28
05/05
4) Wildfire Threat. During periods of extreme wildfire threat, readiness actions may
include deploying additional resources to areas most at risk, arranging for
standby commercial water tanker support, conducting daily aerial
reconnaissance, or initiating burn bans.
5) Mass Gathering. For mass gatherings with previous history of problems,
readiness actions may include reviewing security, traffic control, fire protection,
and first aid planning with organizers and determining additional requirements.
b. Declaration of “Level 3” will generally require the initiation of the “Increased
Readiness” activities identified in each annex to this plan.
3. Level 2: High Readiness
a. High Readiness refers to a situation with a significant potential and probability of
causing loss of life and/or property. This condition will normally require some degree
of warning to the public. Actions could be triggered by severe weather warning
information issued by the National Weather Service such as:
1) Tropical Weather Threat. A tropical weather system may impact the local area
within 72 hours. Readiness actions may include continuous storm monitoring,
identifying worst-case decision points, increasing preparedness of personnel and
equipment, updating evacuation checklists, verifying evacuation route status, and
providing the public information for techniques to protect homes and businesses
on the evacuation routes.
2) Tornado Warning. Issued when a tornado has actually been sighted in the vicinity
or indicated by radar and might strike in the local area. Readiness actions may
include activating the EOC, continuous situation monitoring, and notifying the
public about the warning.
3) Flash Flood Warning. Issued to alert persons that flash flooding is imminent or
occurring on certain steams or designated areas, and immediate action should
be taken. Readiness actions may include notifying the public about the warning,
evacuating low-lying areas, opening emergency shelters to house evacuees, and
continuous situation monitoring.
4) Winter Storm Warning. Issued when heavy snow, sleet, or freezing rain are
forecast to occur separately or in a combination. Readiness actions may include
preparing for possible power outages, putting road crews on stand-by to clear
and/or sand the roads, and continuous situation monitoring.
5) Mass Gathering. Civil disorder with relatively large-scale localized violence is
imminent. Readiness actions may include increased law enforcement presence,
putting hospitals and fire departments on alert, and continuous situation
monitoring.
b. Declaration of a “Level 2” will generally require the initiation of the “High Readiness”
activities identified in each annex to this plan.
Ver 2.0 BP-29
05/05
4. Level 1: Maximum Readiness
a. Maximum Readiness refers to situation that hazardous conditions are imminent.
This condition denotes a greater sense of danger and urgency than associated with
a “Level 2” event. Actions could also be generated by severe weather warning
information issued by the National Weather Service combined with factors making
the event more imminent.
1) Tropical Weather Threat. The evacuation decision period is nearing for an
approaching tropical weather system that may impact the local area. Readiness
actions may include continuous situation monitoring, full activation of the EOC,
recommending precautionary actions for special facilities, pre-positioning
emergency personnel and equipment for emergency operations, and preparing
public transportation resources for evacuation support.
2) Tornado Warning. A tornado has been sited close to a populated area or is
moving toward a populated area. Readiness actions may include taking
immediate shelter and putting damage assessment teams on stand-by.
3) Flash Flood Warning. Flooding is imminent or is occurring at specific locations.
Readiness actions may include evacuations, putting rescue teams on alert,
sheltering evacuees and/or others displaced by the flooding and continuous
monitoring of the situation.
4) Mass Gathering. Civil disorder is about to erupt into large-scale and widespread
violence. Readiness actions may include having all EMS units on stand-by, all
law enforcement present for duty, notify the DDC that assistance may be needed
and keep them apprised of the situation, and continuous situation monitoring is
required.
b. Declaration of “Level 1” will generally require the initiation of the “Maximum
Readiness” activities identified in each annex to this plan.
IX. ADMINISTRATION AND SUPPORT
A. Agreements and Contracts
1. Should our local resources prove to be inadequate during an emergency, requests will
be made for assistance from other local jurisdictions, other agencies, and industry in
accordance with existing mutual-aid agreements and contracts and those agreements
and contracts entered into during the emergency. Such assistance may include
equipment, supplies, or personnel. All agreements will be entered into by authorized
officials and should be in writing whenever possible. Agreements and contracts should
identify the local officials authorized to request assistance pursuant to those documents.
2. In an effort to facilitate assistance pursuant to mutual aid agreements, our available
resources are identified and are a part of the Texas Regional Response Network
(TRRN).
Ver 2.0 BP-30
05/05
3. The agreements and contracts pertinent to emergency management (that we are a party
to) are summarized in Attachment 6.
B. Reports
1. Hazardous Materials Spill Reporting. If we are responsible for a release of hazardous
materials of a type or quantity that must be reported to state and federal agencies, the
department or agency responsible for the spill shall make the required report. See
Annex Q, Hazardous Materials and Oil Spill Response, for more information. If the party
responsible for a reportable spill cannot be located, the Incident Commander shall
ensure that the required report(s) are made.
2. Initial Emergency Report. This short report should be prepared and transmitted by the
EOC when an on-going emergency incident appears likely to worsen and we may need
assistance from other local governments or the State. See Annex N, Direction and
Control for the format and instructions for this report.
3. Situation Report. A daily situation report should be prepared and distributed by the
EOC during major emergencies or disasters. See Annex N, Direction and Control, for
the format of and instructions for this report.
4. Other Reports. Several other reports covering specific functions are described in the
annexes to this plan.
C. Records
1. Record Keeping for Emergency Operations
Our local governments are responsible for establishing the administrative controls
necessary to manage the expenditure of funds and to provide reasonable accountability
and justification for expenditures made to support emergency operations. This shall be
done in accordance with the established local fiscal policies and standard cost
accounting procedures.
a. Activity Logs. The Incident Command Post and the EOC shall maintain accurate
logs recording key response activities, including:
1) Activation or deactivation of emergency facilities.
2) Emergency notifications to other local governments and to state and federal
agencies.
3) Significant changes in the emergency situation.
4) Major commitments of resources and/or requests for additional resources from
external sources.
5) Issuance of protective action recommendations to the public.
6) Evacuations.
7) Casualties.
8) Containment or termination of the incident.
b. Incident Costs. All department and agencies shall maintain records summarizing the
use of personnel, equipment, and supplies during the response to day-to-day
Ver 2.0 BP-31
05/05
incidents to obtain an estimate of annual emergency response costs that can be
used as in preparing future department or agency budgets.
c. Emergency or Disaster Costs. For major emergencies or disasters, all departments
and agencies participating in the emergency response shall maintain detailed
records of costs for emergency operations to include:
1) Personnel costs, especially overtime costs
2) Equipment operations costs
3) Costs for leased or rented equipment
4) Costs for contract services to support emergency operations
5) Costs of specialized supplies expended for emergency operations
These records may be used to recover costs from the responsible party or insurers
or as a basis for requesting financial assistance for certain allowable response and
recovery costs from the state and/or federal government.
2. Preservation of Records
a. In order to continue normal government operations following an emergency situation
or disaster, vital records must be protected. These include legal documents as well
as property and tax records. The principal causes of damage to records are fire and
water; therefore, essential records should be protected accordingly. Each agency
responsible for preparation of annexes to this plan will include protection of vital
records in its SOPs/SOGs.
b. If records are damaged during an emergency situation, we will seek professional
assistance to preserve and restore them.
D. Training
It will be the responsibility of each agency director/department head to ensure that agency
personnel, in accordance with the NIMS, possess the level of training, experience,
credentialing, currency, physical and medical fitness, or capability for any posit ions they are
tasked to fill.
E. Consumer Protection
Consumer complaints regarding alleged unfair or illegal business practices often occur in
the aftermath of a disaster. Such complaints will be referred to the County and/or City
Attorney, who will pass such complaints to the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of
the Attorney General.
F. Post-Incident and Exercise Review
The EMCs are responsible for organizing and conducting a critique following the conclusion
of a significant emergency event/incident or exercise. The After Action Report (AAR) will
entail both written and verbal input from all appropriate participants. An Improvement Plan
will be developed based on the deficiencies identified, and an individual, department, or
Ver 2.0 BP-32
05/05
agency will be assigned responsibility for correcting the deficiency and a due date shall be
established for that action.
X. PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
A. Plan Development
The County Judge, Mayors and TAMU V.P. for Facilities are responsible for approving and
promulgating this plan.
B. Distribution of Planning Documents
1. The County Judge and Mayors, with assistance from the EMCs, shall determine the
distribution of this plan and its annexes. In general, copies of plans and annexes should
be distributed to those individuals, departments, agencies, and organizations tasked in
this document. Copies should also be set-aside for the EOC and other emergency
facilities.
2. The Basic Plan should include a distribution list (See Attachment 1 to this plan) that
indicates who receives copies of the basic plan and the various annexes to it. In
general, individuals who receive annexes to the basic plan should also receive a copy of
this plan, because the Basic Plan describes our emergency management organization
and basic operational concepts. In some cases, the plan may be distributed
electronically or via the internet.
C. Review
The Basic Plan and its annexes shall be reviewed annually by local officials. The EMCs will
establish a schedule for annual review of planning documents by those tasked in them.
D. Update
1. This plan will be updated based upon deficiencies identified during actual emergency
situations and exercises and when changes in threat hazards, resources and
capabilities, or government structure occur.
2. The Basic Plan and its annexes must be revised or updated by a formal change at least
every five years. Responsibility for revising or updating the Basic Plan is assigned to
the EMCs. Responsibility for revising or updating the annexes to this plan is outlined in
Section VI.B, Assignment of Responsibilities, as well as in each annex. For details on
the methods of updating planning documents as well as more information on when
changes should be made, refer to Chapter 3 of the Division of Emergency Management
(TDEM) Local Emergency Management Planning Guide (TDEM-10).
3. Revised or updated planning documents will be provided to all departments, agencies,
and individuals tasked in those documents.
4. §418.043(4) of the Government Code provides that TDEM shall review local emergency
management plans. The process for submitting new or updated planning documents to
TDEM is described in Chapter 6 of the TDEM-10. The Brazos County EMC is
Ver 2.0 BP-33

NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS) SUMMARY
A. BACKGROUND
1. NIMS is a comprehensive, national approach to incident management that is applicable
to all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines. This system is suitable
across a wide range of incidents and hazard scenarios, regardless of size or complexity.
It provides a flexible framework for all phases of incident management, as well as
requirements for processes, procedures, and systems designed to improve
interoperability.
2. NIMS is a multifaceted system that provides a national framework for preparing for,
preventing, responding to, and recovering from domestic incidents.
B. COMPONENTS
1. Command and Management. The incident management structures employed by NIMS
can be used to manage emergency incidents or non-emergency events such as
celebrations. The system works equally well for small incidents and large-scale
emergency situations. The system has built-in flexibility to grow or shrink depending on
current needs. It is a standardized system, so personnel from a variety of agencies and
geographic locations can be rapidly incorporated into a common management structure.
a. Incident Management System. A system that can be used to manage emergency
incidents or non-emergency events such as celebrations.
1) FEATURES OF ICS
ICS has a number of features that work together to make it a real management
system. Among the primary attributes of ICS are:
a) Common Terminology. ICS requires the use of common terminology, such as
the use of standard titles for facilities and positions within an organization, to
ensure efficient and clear communications.
b) Organizational Resources. All resources including personnel, facilities, major
equipment, and supply items used to support incident management activities
must be “typed” with respect to capability. This typing will minimize confusion
and enhance interoperability.
c) Manageable Span of Control. Span of control should ideally vary from three
to seven. Anything less or more requires expansion or consolidation of the
organization.
d) Organizational Facilities. Common terminology is used to define incident
facilities, the activities conducted at these facilities, and the organizational
positions that can be found working there.
Ver 2.0 BP-7-2
05/05
e) Use of Position Titles. All ICS positions have distinct titles.
f) Reliance on an Incident Action Plan. The incident action plan, which may be
verbal or written, is intended to provide supervisory personnel a common
understanding of the situation and direction for future action. The plan
includes a statement of objectives, organizational description, assignments,
and support material such as maps. Written plans are desirable when two or
more jurisdictions are involved, when state and/or federal agencies are
assisting local response personnel, or there has been significant turnover in
the incident staff.
g) Integrated Communications. Integrated communications includes interfacing
disparate communications as effectively as possible, planning for the use of
all available systems and frequencies, and requiring the use of clear text in
communications.
h) Accountability. ICS is based on an orderly chain of command, check -in for all
responders, and only one supervisor for each responder.
2) UNIFIED COMMAND
a) Unified Command is a variant of ICS used when there is more than one
agency or jurisdiction with responsibility for the incident or when personnel
and equipment from a number of different agencies or jurisdictions are
responding to it. This might occur when the incident site crosses
jurisdictional boundaries or when an emergency situation involves matters for
which state and/or federal agencies have regulatory responsibility or legal
requirements.
b) ICS Unified Command is intended to integrate the efforts of multiple agencies
and jurisdictions. The major change from a normal ICS structure is at the top.
In a Unified command, senior representatives of each agency or jurisdiction
responding to the incident collectively agree on objectives, priorities, and an
overall strategy or strategies to accomplish objectives; approve a coordinated
Incident Action Plan; and designate an Operations Section Chief. The
Operations Section Chief is responsible for managing available resources to
achieve objectives. Agency and jurisdictional resources remain under the
administrative control of their agencies or jurisdictions, but respond to mission
assignments and direction provided by the Operations Section Chief based
on the requirements of the Incident Action Plan.
3) AREA COMMAND
a) An Area Command is intended for situations where there are multiple
incidents that are each being managed by an ICS organization or to oversee
the management of large or multiple incidents to which several Incident
Management Teams have been assigned. Area Command becomes Unified
Area Command when incidents are multijurisdictional.
Ver 2.0 BP-7-3
05/05
b) The organization of an Area Command is different from a Unified Command
in that there is no operations section, since all operations are conducted on-
scene, at the separate ICPs.
b. Multiagency Coordination Systems. Multiagency coordination systems may be
required for incidents that require higher level resource management or information
management. The components of multiagency coordination systems include
facilities, equipment, EOCs, specific multiagency coordination entities, personnel,
procedures, and communications; all of which are integrated into a common
framework for coordinating and supporting incident management.
c. Public Information. The NIMS system fully integrates the ICS Joint Information
System (JIS) and the Joint Information Center (JIC). The JIC is a physical location
where public information staff involved in incident management activities can co -
locate to perform critical emergency information, crisis communications, and public
affairs functions. More information on JICs can be obtained in the DHS National
Incident Management System Plan, dated March 2004.
2. Preparedness. Preparedness activities include planning, training, and exercises as well
as certification of response personnel, and equipment acquisition and certification.
Activities would also include the creation of mutual aid agreements and Emergency
Management Assistance Compacts. Any public information activities such as
publication management would also be preparedness activities.
3. Resource Management. All resources, such as equipment and personnel, must be
identified and typed. Systems for describing, inventorying, requesting, and tracking
resources must also be established.
4. Communications and Information Management. Adherence to NIMS specified standards
by all agencies ensures interoperability and compatibility in communications and
information management.
5. Supporting Technologies. This would include any technologies that enhance the
capabilities essential to implementing the NIMS. For instance, voice and data
communication systems, resource tracking systems, or data display systems.
6. Ongoing Management and Maintenance. The NIMS Integration Center provides
strategic direction and oversight in support of routine review and continual refinement of
both the system and its components over the long term.

Recommendation(s):The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their March 20, 2014
meeting and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Staff also recommends approval
of the request.
Summary:This request is to rezone the property from D Duplex to GS General Suburban.
The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map amendments:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:The subject property is designated
Neighborhood Conservation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and is
located within the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan boundary. The proposed rezoning is in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the desire to designate the D Duplex properties as GS
College Station, TX Printed on 4/4/2014Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:14-339,Version:1
General Suburban to match the single-family character of the area.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The surrounding properties are zoned D Duplex but have
single-family residential uses existing on them. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
character of the neighborhood and the desire to rezone this area to single-family residential.
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 rezoning to
GS General Suburban is appropriate for this area given the surrounding single-family residential uses
that currently exist. In addition, this request would implement the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan
effort to rezone the properties in this area from D Duplex to GS General Suburban.
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: While the current
D Duplex zoning of the property allows single-family dwellings if they conform to single-family
residential standards, the goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to rezone this area to GS General
Suburban. The rezoning will match the character of the existing surrounding neighborhood and
ensure that future development is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and zoning districts.
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 duplexes located on the properties are less marketable than single-family residences in this
area.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 4-inch waterline along the
north side of Montclair Avenue available to serve this property. There is also a 6-inch sanitary sewer
line along the rear of these lots to accommodate the proposed development. Drainage is mainly to
the southwest within the Bee Creek Drainage Basin. Access to the site will be available via Montclair
Avenue. All public infrastructure required for the development shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for
the proposed use.

Summary:The request is to rezoned the property from R Rural to GS General Suburban.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as General
Suburban on the Future Land Use and Character Map. The proposed rezoning is consistent with this
designation.
College Station, TX Printed on 4/4/2014Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:14-340,Version:1
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed rezoning would allow for the development
of single-family residential, which is intended for areas designated General Suburban in the
Comprehensive Plan. The current zoning does not allow for further subdivision of this tract as it must
be a minimum of 3 acres. The adjacent tract to the west is zoned GS General Suburban and was
Preliminary Plan for Barron Crest Subdivision, which will continue into the subject property if rezoned.
Adjacent properties to the north, east and west are also designated General Suburban.
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 rezoning
for uses permitted by the district is appropriate for this area given the character of the surrounding
properties and compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The property would be allowed to subdivide
into lots as small as 5,000 square feet lots for single-family homes.
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 R
Rural zoning would not allow for further subdivision or the development of the Barron Crest
Subdivision to extend into this tract. The proposed zoning would enable for this to occur and is in line
with the vision of the Comprehensive Plan.
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: Under the current
zoning district the property is limited in density. The proposed zoning would allow for the development
of single-family residential subdivision that is being sought to continue Barron Crest Subdivision on the
west.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located in College Station's
water and wastewater service area. Currently, the property has access to water and wastewater. The
tract has frontage to Hofburg Drive, which is not on the Thoroughfare Plan but is constructed as a
minor collector. Any future development of the tract will be required to meet the City's minimum fire
flow requirements.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
··Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s):The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their March 20, 2014
meeting and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Staff also recommended
approval of the request.
Summary:The proposed rezoning adds the 29-acre tract to the north to the development and amends a
portion of the previously approved PDD Planned Development District zoning and concept plan.
This development was initially approved in June 2011 when 108 acres was rezoned from A-O Agricultural
Open to PDD Planned Development District and included a mix of single-family attached (townhome),
single-family detached, and commercial uses. The original proposal included a wake board ski facility but
after concerns that were expressed at the public hearings, Council approved the rezoning without the
wake board facilities being included. In April 2012, a revised PDD Planned Development District rezoning
College Station, TX Printed on 4/4/2014Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:14-346,Version:1
was approved that adjusted the Concept Plan and added recreation facility uses consisting of two 2-tower
cable wakeboard ski systems as well as other water recreation uses. In August 2013, a revised PDD
Planned Development District rezoning was approved for a portion of the development (59 of the original
108 acres) that realigned streets and alleys adjacent to the park areas, converted some proposed
commercial areas along Old Wellborn Road to townhomes, and provided additional uses including a micro-
brewery, rental condo units and a development sales office.
The proposed rezoning request consists of the 59 acres amended in August 2013, Commercial Tract 1 at
the northeast corner of Deacon Drive West and Holleman Drive South, adds the 29-acre "Barger" tract to
the north to the development, and revises some of the permitted uses and standards within the existing
PDD area.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character
of the neighborhood.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be
made applicable by the proposed amendment.
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.
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.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and
adequate for the proposed use.
The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject area as Urban and General Suburban and is located in
Growth Area 5. It states that the area near and north of Cain Road is Urban and should be used for
intense land use activities including general commercial, office uses, townhomes, high-density
apartments, and vertical mixed use. The areas further south of Cain Road to Rock Prairie Road should be
used for General Suburban activities including high-density single-family lots (minimum 5,000 square
feet), townhomes, duplexes, as well as suburban or neighborhood commercial and office uses.
The area within the existing PDD Planned Development District allows for a mixture of single-family
residences, townhomes, offices and commercial development. Residential uses are capped at a density of
8.50 units per acre and continue a similar development pattern that is immediately to the south that is
developed for single-family and townhomes. These developments to the south include The Barracks, a
townhome development, as well as the Williamsgate and Buena Vida subdivisions that are single-family
subdivisions zoned General Suburban.
The proposed PDD Planned Development District adds the 29-acre tract to the north that will consist of
multi-family, townhome, general commercial, and recreation facilities. To the north of the development is
property zoned R Rural with about half of the lots developed for single-family and commercial or storage
uses with the remainder still vacant. It is anticipated that these areas will develop or redevelop into uses
that similar to what is proposed.
Except for the recreation facilities in the center of the development, commercial uses are primarily located
on the western edge along Holleman Drive South, a future four-lane major collector, and Deacon Drive
West, a major collector, and on the eastern edge of the development along Old Wellborn Road and
General Parkway, a minor collector. Additional details regarding the commercial and recreational uses will
be described as part of the Concept Plan.
The subject property is located within Wellborn Special Utility District water service area, the City's
College Station, TX Printed on 4/4/2014Page 2 of 4

File #:14-346,Version:1
sanitary sewer service area, and Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU) electric service area. The property is located
in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area that gravity flows into the Bee Creek Trunk Line,
which serves many developments along Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The City is currently in the process of a
capital improvement project to install greater sanitary sewer system capacity. Preliminary analysis of this
area has identified that the existing sanitary sewer capacity can support the increased sanitary sewer
demand from the proposed development, however, future demands in this respective sub-basin will need
to be evaluated as development occurs.
The subject property is in the Bee Creek Tributary "B" drainage basin. The subject property is not located
within a FEMA regulated Special Flood Hazard Area per FEMA FIRM panel 182C. Future development of the
tract will have to meet the requirements of the City Storm Water Design Guidelines. The subject property
is located adjacent to Old Wellborn Road (local) to the east and Holleman Drive South (four-lane major
collector) to the west. Three future thoroughfares bi-sect the property: Deacon Drive West (two-lane
major collector), General Parkway (two-lane minor collector) and Towers Parkway (two-lane minor
collector). These thoroughfares have been constructed as the development has built-out. A left-turn lane
on Holleman Drive South will be installed when the intersection with Gunner Trail is constructed.
REVIEW OF CONCEPT PLAN
The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed
zoning district:
"The Barracks II Subdivision was previously granted PDD Zoning to develop a residential
community for students in the 18-30 year age range. The planned development includes a mixture
of housing options, recreation facilities and commercial businesses that cater to the student
population. The intent has not changed. The rezoning request adds additional land and uses to the
Barracks II Development and PDD Zoning."
Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications
The applicant proposes to utilize R-3 Townhouse, R-4 Multi-Family, R-6 High Density Multi-Family, C-3
Light Commercial, SC Suburban Commercial, and GC General Commercial as the base, underlying zoning
districts as identified on the Concept Plan. The existing PDD zoning was approved with meritorious
modifications that will carry over with this PDD rezoning and additions and changes are summarized
below. In accordance with the purpose statement, the Concept Plan includes a mixture of residential,
commercial and office, and recreational uses summarized as the following:
Residential
Townhomes are proposed within the areas of the existing PDD with the single-family previously approved
and they are capped at a combined density of 8.5 units per acre. Some townhome units have access via a
public alley while the majority has access in the front from the public street. The townhome blocks are
arranged around series of small pocket park and open spaces. Multi-family and townhome units are
proposed to be added to the PDD and they will be subject to standard R-4 Multi-family zoning
requirements. Duplexes are not permitted within the PDD.
Commercial
Commercial Tract 3 in the southeast corner of the development retains its modified C-3 Light Commercial
uses and standards as previously approved. Commercial Tract 1 and Commercial Tract 2 along Deacon
Drive West proposes to change from the modified C-3 Light Commercial to SC Suburban Commercial
requirements while permitting additional uses of fuel sales with up to 10 fueling stations, drive-thru
restaurants, and retail sales and service - alcohol (liquor store). Commercial Tract 1A and Commercial
Tract 4 are proposed within the area added to the PDD and are proposed to follow standard GC General
Commercial requirements.
Recreation Facilities
The proposed PDD provides additional recreational opportunities by creating Recreation Facility 2 (RF-2)
Mixed Use Tract 1 within the area added to the proposed PDD. The RF-2 Mixed Use Tract 1 can consist of
multi-family or condo units meeting R-6 High Density Multi-Family zoning standards or GC General
Commercial uses including health clubs, indoor sports facilities, outdoor sports facilities, hotel, offices,
personal service shop, restaurants, and theaters. Night clubs, bars, and taverns are also permitted if a
Conditional Use Permit is approved by Council.
The PDD further expands opportunities provided in the Recreation Facility tract. In addition to the uses
College Station, TX Printed on 4/4/2014Page 3 of 4

File #:14-346,Version:1
and requirements as provided in the existing PDD, the proposed PDD extends the evening hours of
operation of the cable wake board ski facility from as late as 10 PM to as late as midnight. Operation
hours of other recreational facilities hours could also be extended from as late as midnight to as late as 2
AM. The proposed PDD also permits motorized vehicles for the recreational activities instead of just being
limited to rescue or maintenance purposes.
