Jennifer Rodriguez, Legislative Consultant, provided information on legislation that directly
impacted municipalities. Bryan/College Station advocated local bill HB3629 and is referred to
as the HOT Tax bill. This bill permits the cities of Bryan and College Station to use revenue
from the municipal hotel tax to promote tourism and the convention and hotel industry by using
the tax for the construction, operation or expansion of a sports related facility or sports facil ity
owned by the municipality and is effective June 17, 2015.

preemption of city ordinances, revenue caps, appraisal caps, annexation, a statewide texting ban,
transportation network company regulations, payday lending regulations, prohibition of plastic
bag ban ordinances, and city lobbying restrictions.
Bills that passed included 60% of the council must vote to adopt a tax rate exceeding the
previous year’s rate, transparency legislation, ban of fracking ordinances, open carry, campus

6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a new citizen board appointment
process.
Sherry Mashburn, City Secretary, proposed a new appointment process in response to the
Council’s request. A Handbook has been drafted for the Council’s consideration that will assist
potential appointees with the process, procedures, and responsibilities. The application has been
updated with different iterations: one for regular standing committees, and one for each of the
following: Construction Board of Adjustments, Design Review Board, Joint Relief Funding
Review, Parks and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Zoning Board of
Adjustments.
Advertising for all boards and commissions would commence in early August, with a submittal
deadline of September 30. Staff proposed that Council conduct interviews of applicants to the
quasi-judicial boards -- Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals, Design Review Board,
Parks and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Zoning Board of
Adjustments. Council would consider applicants' resumes for these quasi-judicial boards during
Executive Sessions in October, after which each Councilmember would provide to the City
Secretary the names of those individuals who should be brought back for an interview. The City
Secretary would contact the applicants to schedule an interview with Council that would take
place during Executive Sessions in November and December. Appointments would be made in
open session at the first meeting in January.
Council provided direction to move the deadlines back to allow newly elected Councilmembers
an opportunity make informed appointments. It was also suggested that applicants provide two-
three references. The process should be completely digital.
7. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on the 2015 Bond Citizen Advisory
Committee’s prioritized project recommendations for the potential 2015 bond election.
Chuck Gilman, Deputy City Manager, reported that Council will consider an ordinance calling
the Bond Election at the August 13 meeting. The Citizens Advisory Committee made the
following recommendations:

– Greens Prairie Road Intersection and Roadway Improvements

property from Rural and General Suburban to Planned Development District.
RM062515 Minutes Page 4
The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their May 7, 2015 meeting and
voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the rezoning. The Parks and Recreation Board considered
the additional parkland fees as one of the proposed community benefits to help offset the
proposed meritorious modifications at their May 12, 2015 meeting and voted 7-0 to recommend
to accept the fee changes, but included as part of their motion for Council to consider additional
fees for developments with higher bedroom counts per unit. Staff recommended denial of the
request due to the concerns of the existing transportation network’s ability to handle the
additional traffic created by the proposed development.
At approximately 7:45 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Mike Gentry, 1515 Emerald Plaza, attorney for the developer, Aspen Heights, spoke in favor
of
the rezoning. He said this will help to remove students from the older neighborhoods into a
project
that is reminiscent of a standard neighborhood, removing the pressure on single family
neighborhoods. The only issue is inadequate transportation infrastructure, and the solutions
are
beyond any private developer. He proposed a couple of possible improvements to assist
in
moving traffic in the short term, including a bus service. He believes the bus service
will
significantly reduce the traffic impact.
Charlie Vetteratt, 1301 S. Capital of Texas Highway, reiterated Mr. Gentry’s remarks regarding
the shuttle service. He noted that Aspen Heights is a full service development. This is the
highest and best use of the property.
Jim Butler, 6010 Thoroughbred Ridge, agreed there are traffic issues, but they are on the north
side, not the south side. He has visited with TAMU Transportation Services and was encouraged
by his visit with City staff regarding a Park ‘n Ride. He noted that it is not only the students that
use South Holleman.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:12 p.m.
Councilmember Schultz moved to approve the ordinance. The motion failed for lack of a
second.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Councilmember
Benham, the City Council voted five (5) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Nichols
voting against, to postpone this item until the second meeting in August. The motion carried.
2. Adjournment.
There being no further business, Mayor Berry adjourned the Regular Meeting of the City
Council at 8:37 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2015.

purchase and installation of two (2) substation transformers.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: (Select all that apply)
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s):
Staff recommends approval of the contract with WEG Electric Corp in the amount of $1,150,000 to provide and install two
(2)substation transformers at the lowest evaluated equivalent first cost to the City as shown by the attached Bid Tab 15-
044.
Summary:
On May 21,2015 eight (8)sealed bids were received and opened in response to Invitation to Bid #15-044.These bids
were evaluated and ranked using several factors.Of the eight bids,five (5)were found to be non-compliant with the City's
bid requirements.The bid submitted by WEG Electric Corp was found to be the lowest bid,and to be in full compliance
with the bid requirements.
On March 16,2015,Southwood Valley Substation power transformer 3200 open due to a sudden pressure fault inside
the transformer.After several tests were performed on the transformer it was determined the transformer winding shifted
and that some internal issue needed to be repaired (feasibility of repairing transformer is still being determined).Due to
this failure,the need for an additional transformer in a separate substation in the 2016 budget year,the long delivery time
for a substation transformer,and the current favorable prices for this device,it was determined to bid out two (2)
substation power transformers.In the past we have purchased substation power transformers from the current bid price
to as much as $1.2 million.
Budget & Financial Summary:
Funds for this purchase were not included in the FY15 budget as it was not anticipated that these transformers would be
needed this soon. These transformers were forecasted to be purchased in FY16 and FY17. Due to the lead time required
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0307,Version:1
for ordering the transformers, the expenditure for the transformers will likely occur in FY16, but the budget for the
purchase must be available in FY15 in order to contract for the purchase. Therefore, the budget for these transformers
will be included on the next FY15 Budget Amendment. The budget for this purchase will be included in the Electric
Capital Improvement Projects Fund.

Station Traffic Management Team recommends implementing an all-way stop at this intersection.
This ordinance allows for the implementation and enforcement of an all-way stop at this intersection
to improve safety and mobility for residents and visitors to the Eastgate Neighborhood.
Budget &Financial Summary:The installation of the stop signs and stop bars is budgeted and
available in the traffic operations budget.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion on consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter
10, “Traffic Code” Section 2(k) to prohibit Left-Turns for southbound Francis Drive at the College Hills
Elementary School driveway during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: This ordinance removes left-turns for vehicles traveling southbound on Francis drive at the
College Hills Elementary Driveway on school days from 7:00 am until 9:00 am (morning drop-off) and
on school days from 2:30 pm until 4:30 pm (afternoon pick-up).
In April of 2015, Public Works staff were asked about the presence of a No-Left turn sign at the
entrance to the College Hills Elementary Driveway. Upon review, it was determined that this sign
was installed by the school district several years ago. After meeting with representatives of CSISD,
including the principal of College Hills Elementary School, it was determined that the preferred
solution is to have this prohibition added to the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station.
Based upon Traffic Engineering’s evaluation and discussion with CSISD, the Traffic Management
Team recommends adding the left-turn prohibition to the Code of Ordinances for the City of College
Station by removing Lefts-Turns for southbound traffic on Francis Avenue at the College Hills
Elementary School Driveway during drop-off and pick-up periods.

equipment needed for game day traffic operations.H-GAC is one of these purchasing cooperatives
for public agencies. All products and services available for purchase through H-GAC contracts have
been competitively bid and awarded and satisfy any State law requirements relating to competitive
bids and proposals.
Using the H-GAC purchasing cooperative, the City can spend $170,950.00 to purchase the 12
changeable message signs needed to effectively and safely communicate to motorists the routes
and/or lanes available for post-game traffic to use. These funds were appropriated in the Public

Summary:In 2014,City of College Station Public Works conducted traffic signal warrant studies at 12
intersections.The purpose of these studies was to evaluate a need for signalization at these
intersections and to prioritize the use of limited traffic signal construction funds.Based upon this
evaluation,it was determined that the intersection of SH 40 (William D.Fitch Parkway)at Victoria
Avenue had the greatest need at this time.This intersection is located near College Station High
School and this traffic signal will improve mobility and safety for people driving,bicycling,and walking
through this intersection.
Because SH 40 is a TxDOT highway,the City of College Station requested and received permission
from TxDOT to proceed with designing and constructing a traffic signal and pavement improvements
at this location.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an Infrastucture and Economic Development
Agreement for the approximately 228 acres generally located along the south side of Rock Prairie
Road at the future Bird Pond Road intersection owned by College Station Land Development,
Incorporated.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Infrastructure and Economic Development
Agreement.
Summary: The College Station Medical District Master Plan was approved by the City Council in
October 2012. The subject property is located within the eastern portion of the District that is
relatively undeveloped. The Plan identified the need for regional infrastructure in this area of the
District and recommended that the city play a larger role in participating or funding the initial primary
infrastructure creating "good bones" for development. The majority of the infrastructure outlined in

File #:15-0311,Version:1
this agreement is required for the development of the general area even if the Medical District did not
exist. The Plan provides for a mix of residential and commercial land uses on the subject property
including the potential of an urban town center. The purpose of this agreement is to facilitate the
installation of primary infrastructure to activate the larger area for private development.
The proposed agreement is performance based and provides a funding mechanism to reimburse the
property owner for the construction of the primary infrastructure. The property taxes generated by
the additional value created by the property owner are deposited into a seperate fund. Once the
property owner meets the performance obligations, he is able to use that additional revenue to
reimburse himself for the infrastructure. In order to access the additional revenue, the property
owner must create an additional $50 million in taxable value and add at least 150,000 square feet of
non-residential improvements. The more value the property owner creates, the more tax value is
available to reimburse for primary infrastructure.
Budget & Financial Summary: The current taxable value of the subject property is approximately
$251,270. Property taxes generated by additional value created by the property owner could be
used to reimburse the owner for regional infrastructure per the agreement.

This INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(the “Agreement”) is entered into between COLLEGE STATION TOWN CENTER, L.P.,
a Texas limited partnership (“Developer”), on behalf of itself and ROCK PRAIRIE

County, Texas, that lies in the corporate limits of the City (defined herein as “Tract A”),
the metes and bounds of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Developer desires
to develop a single family and commercial mixed use development on Tract A, and the
Developer represents that the development of Tract A requires an agreement providing
for long-term certainty concerning development of Tract A. The City wishes to provide
for the orderly and safe development of Tract A. The City and the Developer agree that
the development of Tract A can best proceed pursuant to a development agreement
under the authority of Chapter 212, Texas Local Gov’t Code.
The District has been created by the Texas Legislature in the 83rd legislative
session and codified as Chapter 3909, Special District Local Laws Code, and consented
to by the City by Resolution No. ____________ (“City Consent Resolution”). The

system, wastewater collection system, storm water collection, detention and drainage
system, recreational facilities and a road system, all to serve the land within the District,
and, with the exception of the storm water collection, detention and drainage system
and recreational facilities, the District intends to convey the facilities to the City for

in the municipality.
547688_2 2
The City recognizes the positive impact that development of Tract A will have
through the production of new jobs, the stimulation of commercial activity, and the
additional ad valorem and sales and use tax revenue generated by the development of
Tract A; and the City has agreed to provide incentives to the Developer to enhance and
stimulate business and commercial activity in the City. To ensure that the benefits the
City provides under this Agreement in the form of grants are consistent with Article III,
Section 52-a of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 380, the Developer has agreed that
certain performance standards must be satisfied as a condition to receiving the grants
described in this Agreement, and as a result, the incentives will serve a legitimate public
purpose and provide a clear public benefit in return.
The City and the Developer, on behalf of itself and the District, intend to enter
into this Agreement to, among other things, establish certain criteria and performance
standards for the development within Tract A, provide for utility service to Tract A,
and, pursuant to Chapter 380 and Article III, Section 52-a, Texas Constitution, establish
an economic development program, all as more particularly described in this

ARTICLE III.
ECONOMIC INCENTIVES; CONTRACT PAYMENTS
3.1. Contract Payments Specific to Tract A. It is the intent of the parties that the
City’s economic grant of Contract Payments (which are calculated by the incremental
increase in value of Tract A) is in exchange for and specific to the business and
commercial activity generated on Tract A. In the event that additional land is annexed
into the District (but not acquired by Developer), the City may grant similar tax
incentives (and make similar contract payments) to the District based on incremental
value of such additional tract in exchange for and specific to the business and
commercial activity generated on such additional tracts. In the event that the City and
District enter into subsequent agreements for contract payments specific to additional
tracts outside of Tract A, the City and District will create separate accounts or funds for
the contract payments related to those additional tracts.
3.2. Developer Chapter 380 Performance Obligations. In consideration of the
City’s agreeing to pay the Contract Payments in accordance with the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Agreement, the Developer agrees to fulfill all the following
conditions described below prior to the District receiving the Contract Payments:
a. The certified taxable value of Tract A shall have increased by at least
$50,000,000 over the certified taxable value of Tract A that existed as of
547688_2 6
January 1st of the tax year of the Effective Date of this Agreement, all as
shown on the tax rolls of the Brazos County Appraisal District;
b. Developer shall have constructed 150,000 square feet of Non-Residential
Mixed Use Improvements as defined in this Agreement within the Central
Business District as shown on Exhibit G; and,
c. Satisfaction of its Developer Infrastructure Obligations described in
Section 3.8 below.
In the event the Developer fails to perform any of the obligations discussed in
this Section 3.1, the City will not be obligated to pay the Contract Payments to the
District.
3.3. City Contract Payments. Commencing in the calendar year in which the
Developer has satisfied its obligations in Section 3.2, the City will pay on an annual
basis by April 30, the Contract Payments to the District for the term of this Agreement
to be used as described herein. The City shall calculate the Contract Payments for each
tax year during the term of this Agreement, on March 1 based on taxes collected for the
previous tax year. The City’s first Contract Payment shall be for those taxes levied and
collected by the City in the year 2016; therefore the first Contract Payment calculation
will be March 1, 2017 for the 2016 tax year. Tax revenues not received by the City by
March 1 of a calendar year that are subsequently received by the City will be included
in the following year’s Contract Payments calculation. Contract Payments that have
accrued since the inception of this Agreement, but not distributed to the District, will be
held in a separate City account until such time as Developer has performed the
obligations in Section 3.2. Not more than once a year, the District may request from the
City an annual accounting of the calculation of the Contract Payments each year of the
term of this Agreement. The City’s obligation to pay the Contract Payments is
restricted to the property taxes collected on Tract A. The City shall not be obligated to
pay the Contract Payments from other City taxes or revenues. Notwithstanding this
Article III, if the City constructs the sewer line as shown on Exhibit B, it shall not make
Contract Payments to the District until the City has been reimbursed the construction
costs of the sewer line from those Contract Payments.
3.4. Use of City Contract Payments. The District shall use the Contract Payments
only for certain public projects as described below. The District may not use the City
Contract Payments for funding internal District water, sewer and drainage utilities or
internal District roads that are not major thoroughfares. The District and/or Developer
may use the Contract Payments only for the following public projects:
a. Regional thoroughfare road improvements and improvements in
aid of the roads as generally shown on Exhibit B including the
following:
547688_2 7
i. Bird Pond Road in its entirety from Rock Prairie Road
through the Lakeway Drive intersection and to the property
boundary of Tract A; and
ii. The remaining portion of Lakeway Drive through Tract A.
b. Regional water or wastewater infrastructure generally shown in
Exhibit B including the following:
i. Extension of the potable water line along Bird Pond Road
between Rock Prairie Road, across the Lakeway Drive
intersection and to the property boundary;
ii. A gravity sewer line to the Lick Creek Sewer Trunk Line,
near Fitch Parkway, sized to convey wastewater at ultimate
buildout of the property owned by Developer (and the
Nelson and Conrad tracts) as shown on Exhibit B; and,
iii. Extension of the potable water line along Lakeway Drive
near Medical Way to the common property boundary with
the City of College Station.
c. Public improvements authorized under Chapter 375, Texas Local
Government Code such as landscaping, decorative paving, street
lighting, parks, plazas, historic areas, fountains, works of art, or
pedestrian malls (but not including internal water, sewer, and
drainage utilities) for the area designated as Central Business
District as shown on Exhibit G. Contract Payments may be
utilized for public improvements under this subsection only after
all regional infrastructure depicted on Exhibit B is completed.
3.5. Revenue Fund. The District will deposit the proceeds of the Contract
Payments into the Revenue Fund, which fund must be accounted for independently
from other funds of the District. The Revenue Fund may be invested or reinvested,
from time to time, as provided in the investment policy of the District and in the
manner provided by and in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Interest
on the Revenue Fund balances will be retained in the Revenue Fund and used by the
District only as permitted by this Agreement.
3.6 Use of City Contract Payments for District Bonds. The District (or a
corporation created to aid, assist and act on behalf of the District) has the authority to
issue, sell and deliver bonds from time to time, secured by ad valorem taxes, the
Contract Payments, and the Revenue Fund as deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Board of Directors of the District (or such corporation), subject to the terms of this
Agreement and the Utility and Road Agreement, in such forms and manner and as
547688_2 8
permitted or provided by federal law, the general laws of the State of Texas and the
City’s Consent Resolution. The District may issue bonds secured by the Contract
Payments and Revenue Fund only for purposes described in Section 3.4. The District
may pledge or assign all or part of the Contract Payments (and the Revenue Fund) to: (i)
the owners and holders of the Bonds; (ii) lenders of money to the District; and (iii) the
Developer pursuant to a development financing agreement with the District. This
Agreement may not be construed as a limitation on the District’s authority to levy an
unlimited tax rate nor as a limitation on the District’s authority to issue other forms of
indebtedness as allowed by applicable law and regulation, including the City’s Consent
Resolution.
3.7. City Road Projects. The City agrees to utilize up to fifteen million dollars
($15,000,000) in proceeds from the City’s transportation bonds approved in 2008 to
improve the following major road thoroughfares listed below, including all travel lanes,
curb, gutter and drainage infrastructure, street lighting, signage and pavement
markings to enhance mobility in the District and City (“City Road Projects”) as shown
on Exhibit B. The City is under no obligation to complete the City Road Projects in the
event that the $15,000,000 is insufficient to fully construct the City Road Projects. If the
City’s $15,000,000 in transportation bond proceeds are insufficient to fully construct the
City Road Projects, City may, in its discretion, complete the City Road Projects using
other revenues. It is the intent of the City to construct the following thoroughfares in
the order of priority listed below:
a. Priority One: Lakeway Drive from its existing terminus near W.D. Fitch
through the Spring Creek Corporate Campus.
b. Priority Two: Pebble Creek Parkway from State Highway 6 to Lakeway
Drive including the Lakeway Drive intersection.
c. Priority Three: Lakeway Drive from the Spring Creek Corporate Campus,
through Tract A to connect with the existing section of Lakeway Drive
near Scott & White Hospital, including one-half of the boulevard section
and providing one row of on-street parking.
If the $15,000,000 in proceeds from the City’s transportation bonds is insufficient
to fully construct the City Road Projects, the Developer shall not be obligated to comply
with timing requirements of the Developer Infrastructure Obligations described in
Section 3.8 below. The Developer will nonetheless be required to construct the
Developer Infrastructure Obligations prior to receipt of the Contract Payments as part
of its Developer Performance Obligations in Section 3.2.
If the City has completed its City Road Projects in satisfaction of this Section 3.7,
and the Developer has not constructed any vertical improvements on Tract A within
two years of the City’s completion of the City Road Projects, the City may terminate this
547688_2 9
Agreement after giving the Developer notice and opportunity to cure in accordance
with this Agreement.
3.8. Developer Infrastructure Obligations. Within 120 days of when the City
awards a construction contract for the Lakeway Drive (Priority One of the City Road
Projects above), the Developer agrees to commence construction on the infrastructure
listed below (“Developer Infrastructure Obligations”) as generally shown on Exhibit B.
a. Extension of Bird Pond Road between Lakeway Drive and Rock Prairie
Road.
b. Extension of the potable water line along Bird Pond Road between
Lakeway Drive and Rock Prairie Road.
c. A gravity sewer line to the Lick Creek Sewer Trunk Line, near Fitch
Parkway, sized to convey wastewater at ultimate buildout of the property
owned by Developer (and the Nelson and Conrad tracts) as shown on
Exhibit B.
The Developer will be considered to have commenced construction on the
Developer Infrastructure Obligations if it has awarded (or caused the District to award)
a construction contract (or contracts) for the Developer Infrastructure Obligations. If
Developer has not commenced construction (or caused the District to commence
construction) within 120 days of the City’s award of a contract for the Lakeway Drive
extension, the City will provide notice to Developer and opportunity to cure in
accordance with Article V of this Agreement. If after notice and opportunity to cure,
the Developer has still not commenced construction, the Developer will be considered
to be in default of the Agreement and, in addition to other remedies described in Article
V, the City may terminate the Agreement.
The City will consider non-issuance of permits by any environmental or
regulatory agency after all due diligence to obtain such permits as a force majeure
condition whereby the Developer is unable to perform its Developer Infrastructure
Obligations. The Developer will not be in default of this Article III to the extent
performance is affected by such force majeure and to the extent that due diligence is
being used to resume performance at the earliest practicable time.
3.9. City Tract. As of the date of this Agreement, the City owns approximately
485 acres within close proximity to Tract A, shown as Spring Creek Corporate Campus
on the attached Exhibit D (“City Tract”). The City intends to sell the City Tract, or
portions thereof, to a third party or parties for development purposes. The City
recognizes the economic benefit to the City if the Developer develops its Non-
Residential Mixed Use component of Tract A. In an effort to stimulate economic
activity in Tract A and the City, the City agrees not to develop the City Tract or to
547688_2 10
convey or sell the City Tract to a third party for a “town center” mixed-use
development for a period of 10 years from the Effective Date. City further agrees to
make a good faith effort to not develop the City Tract or convey or sell the City Tract to
a third party for a Residential Mixed Use development for a period of 10 years from the
Effective Date.
ARTICLE IV.
NOTICE TO PURCHASER
4.1. Notice to Purchaser. In connection with the sale or conveyance of all or any
portion of Tract A, the Developer shall file a notice to purchaser in the real property

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Restricted Suburban to General
Suburban for approximately 22 acres located at 3940 and 4300 North Graham Road, and more
generally located west of Holleman Drive South near the Sherwood Heights Subdivision and
immediately north of the city limit line.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
- Core Services and Infrastructure
- Neighborhood Integrity
- Diverse Growing Economy
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject property is
located just north of College Station's City limit boundary in an area annexed within the last seven
years. Staff is not aware of any changed or changing conditions in the subject area.
2. Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map designation for approximately 22.26 acres from Restricted Suburban to General
Suburban. This amendment to the Future Land Use and character Map would set the stage for a
rezoning to allow a residential subdivision with high density single-family housing (average 5,000
square-foot lots) along an existing rural section road proposed as a future 2-Lane Major Collector,
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0354,Version:1
in an area with a prevailing rural character. The proposed land use is more intense than the
current surrounding land use and the proposed land uses for the area. Under the existing
Restricted Suburban land use designation, future residential development would be characterized
by a medium density with homes dispersed across lot sizes with a minimum of 10,000 square
feet. This would allow a gross density of 4 units per acre as opposed to the requested change to
General Suburban, which would allow a gross density of 8 units per acre effectively doubling the
density in an area that is anticipated to be largely rural or low density residential.
3. Availability of adequate information:A General Suburban designation allows for future
development of a high-density single-family residential subdivision. Properties in this area are
served by Wellborn Special Utility District. Wellborn SUD has indicated an ability to serve
domestic water service to the proposed subdivision, but additional infrastructure improvements
will be needed with further site development to meet minimum fire flow requirements.
Sanitary sewer service is currently not available in this area, necessitating the construction of a lift
station and approximately one mile of force main to serve the property.
The property and surrounding area are not within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute
response time.
Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for residential development. However, North Graham Road
is substandard in both street width and condition.
4. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:The goal for College
Station's Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding area to the north are
identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of a future Neighborhood Planning area. While no
area plan exists for the area at this point, it has been as an area for study at an undetermined
time in the future.
The proposed amendment would essentially create a pocket of high-density single-family housing
that would be out of character with the surrounding area.
5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:The
existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is "Restricted Suburban."
"Restricted Suburban" is a designation for areas that should have a moderate level of
development activities. This land use is typically characterized by larger single-family lots acting
as a transitional use between higher density General Suburban land uses and lower density
Estate and Rural land uses.
Generally, land located south of Rock Prairie Road West is planned for low intensity residential
uses. Due to the location of the property, being at the very edge of the city limits and the existing
rural residential development in the area, there is very little thoroughfare infrastructure planned in
this area, limiting overall thoroughfare capacity.
The applicant has requested an amendment to "General Suburban." "General Suburban" is a
designation for areas that should have a high- level of development with smaller lots (5,000
square feet or smaller if clustered around open space). The adjacent properties are designated
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0354,Version:1
"Restricted Suburban," and properties to the south, across North Graham Road, are designated
for "Rural" and the property is located along an existing rural section street that is reflective of the
existing character and thoroughfare capacity of the area.
North Graham Road is designated as a 2-lane Major Collector on the City's Thoroughfare Plan
Map and is proposed to maintain its current alignment. The roadway is currently built to a 2-lane
rural section.
6. Compatibility with the surrounding area:The adjacent land uses are large lot single-family
and rural tracts varying in size from 2 to 45 acres (overall future density of 4 dwelling units per
acre) and land to the immediate south and west, located in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction,
(ETJ) is largely rural agricultural land with the exception of the Sherwood Heights Subdivision
which is a minimum half-acres subdivision. These existing developments are less dense than the
Restricted Suburban designation prescribes. A General Suburban development will provide a
different character than these existing developments.
Current agricultural land located to the north of the proposed amendment is designated as future
Restricted Suburban. The proposed amendment is not consistent with future land uses further
north across Holleman Drive South, a proposed 4-lane Major Collector, on Graham Road.
Current agricultural land located to the south across North Graham Road has been planned for
the future Estate uses. The proposed amendment is not consistent with future land uses to the
south as they still remain in the City's ETJ and are undeveloped.
7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation
network: The subject tract is located within Wellborn SUD's CCN. Wellborn SUD has indicated
that they will provide domestic water service for this property. Domestic and fire flow demands
will necessitate further water infrastructure improvements at the time of final platting. These
utilities will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified
Design Guidelines.
The City does not currently have sanitary sewer infrastructure in the vicinity available to serve this
property. The applicant has indicated that they plan to construct a lift station on the east side of
the property with approximately a mile of force main that would connect to a gravity sanitary
sewer system at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Keefer Loop, which is in the
Steeplechase-Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area (Steeplechase).
The sewer infrastructure within the Steeplechase sewer shed was designed with adequate
capacity to serve that area. The subject property, however, is located within a different sewer
shed, so the Steeplechase sewer infrastructure was not designed to support this additional
development. Additionally, the current wastewater master plan was created with the expectation
that this area of the City would remain low density or rural in character.
While there may currently be some sewer capacity available to serve this development, Staff is
concerned that this development could compromise the city's ability to provide sewer service for
other tracts within Steeplechase that were planned for under the current wastewater master plan.
It should also be noted that the subject property is not subject to sewer impact fees and the
proposed lift station and force main would become public infrastructure, maintained by the City.
Typically, small lift stations have significant maintenance issues and associated costs long term
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0354,Version:1
which are not recouped from the customers who are served by it. If lots in the proposed
development had a minimum size of one acre, they could be served by on-site septic systems.
There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract. The development will be required to
comply with the City's drainage ordinance and BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines.
The subject tract would have access to North Graham Road which is designated as a 2-Lane
Major Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan.
8. Impact on the City's ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:The subject property
and surrounding area are not within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute response time, a
performance indicator that can have bearing on the City's ISO rating.
The area surrounding this property is located within the Wellborn SUD water CCN.
There are currently no existing sanitary sewer mains available to serve this property, the applicant
is proposing a lift station and force main to accommodate the development.
9. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:This area is not recognized as
environmentally sensitive.
10. Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in the
Plan's vision and goals:The goal for College Station's Future Land Use and Character is to
create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts,
distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The proposed amendment
from Restricted Suburban to General Suburban on just over 22 acres does limit the general goals
of the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment is proposing a density and level of service to an
area that currently does not have the capacity for given the current conditions.
Recommendation(s):The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 18,
2015 meeting and voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the request. Staff recommends denial of the
request. The City's Comprehensive Plan is a long-range, twenty-year plan that includes future land
uses, thoroughfares, and utility lines that are planned and considered together to assure that future
development is adequately served, and is not an indication of the appropriate timing of development.
Summary: The applicant is requesting an amendment to General Suburban on the Future Land Use
and Character Map and as a step toward permitting a high-density single-family residential
subdivision on approximately 22 acres located west of the Sherwood Heights Subdivision and
immediately north of the city limits boundary. The subject property and properties to the north, east,
and west are primarily designated Restricted Suburban, while land to the south is designated Rural
on the Future Land Use and Character Map.

PROPOSAL
The applicant has requested the proposed amendment to General Suburban as a step toward
permitting a residential subdivision on approximately 22.26 acres located west of Holleman
Drive South near the Sherwood Heights Subdivision and immediately north of the city
limit line. The subject property and properties to the north and east are primarily designated
Restricted Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character
designation on the property is “Restricted Suburban,” with a pending application to amend
the Plan to “General Suburban.” The property is also located in an unstudied Neighborhood
Planning Area. Generally, this area consists largely of undeveloped land used for
agricultural purposes or large acreage single-family residences. According to the
Comprehensive Plan, the area is anticipated to be developed for medium density single-
family residential use. However, due to current service limitations and the prevailing rural
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 7
June 18, 2015
character, the area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity until
the timing of services can be better improved to support an appropriate level of density
anticipated with the Comprehensive Plan.
“Rural” is a designation for areas that, due to service limitations, inadequate public
infrastructure, or prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities.
These areas tend to include a mix of large acreages (ranches and farmsteads) and large-lot
(one acre or larger) residential developments. Open space is the dominant feature of these
areas.
“General Suburban” is a designation for areas that should have a intense level of
development with smaller lots (i.e.: 5,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open
space).
The proposed General Suburban rezoning request is not consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan as the request is for a level of development much higher than what is existing and what
has been anticipated for the area overall.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The adjacent land uses are large lot single-family
and rural tracts varying in size from 2 to 45 acres (overall future density of 4 dwelling units
per acre) and land to the immediate south and west, located in the City’s Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction, ETJ is largely rural agricultural land with the exception of the Sherwood Heights
Subdivision which is a minimum half-acres subdivision.
The subject property and the surrounding area are currently developed as rural residential
or used for agricultural purposes. The character of the proposed development is not
compatible with existing surrounding uses and prevailing rural character of the area.
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 rezoning
request is for a GS General Suburban development, which allows for a gross development
density of 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed amendment would allow for a
development that could consist of minimum 5,000 square foot lot sizes or smaller if the
development is clustered. Based on the density the applicant is suggesting a development
that would provide roughly 110 single-family lots.
The subject property and surrounding area has some infrastructure/service limitations:
The property is in the Wellborn Special Utility District CCN. Wellborn cannot
currently provide adequate fire flows in this area.
There is not sewer in this area. The developer intends to construct a lift station
and a force main to a sewer main near Keefer Loop and The Barracks
Subdivision.
North Graham Road is a substandard road with limited capacity that is
inadequate to provide effective service to a development that would potentially
generate in excess of 1100 trips per day based on a 10 trip per day count for the
suggested development size of 110 single-family lots.
The property is not within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response
time.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 of 7
June 18, 2015
With the exception of sewer service, all of these issues exist regardless of whether the
property is developed as Estate lots or as Restricted Suburban lots. Some of these issues
may be resolved with other capital projects over time.
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
property is currently zoned R Rural providing opportunities for large-lot rural residential
development and agricultural uses. The surrounding area is currently developed or used in
a similar manner. Additionally, the subject property has service limitations including a lack
of sewer infrastructure, the need for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow
requirements, substandard rural roads, and it is not located within the Fire Department’s
desired 4.5 minute response time. The property is currently suitable for agricultural or rural
residential 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 indicates that while the property could be marketed as an R Rural subdivision, the
marketability as entry level single-family product is much better given the developments that
are anticipated for the general area being the future Mission Ranch and Polo Estates
Subdivisions.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located
within Wellborn SUD’s CCN. Wellborn SUD has indicated that they will provide domestic
water service for this property. Domestic and fire flow demands will necessitate further
water infrastructure improvements at the time of final platting the property. These utilities
will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The City does not currently have sanitary sewer infrastructure in the vicinity available to
serve this property. With the proposed site development, the applicant has indicated that
they plan to construct a lift station on the east side of the property with approximately a mile
of force main located in Public Utility Easements (PUEs). The force main would connect to
a gravity sanitary sewer system at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Keefer Loop,
which is in the Steeplechase-Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area
(Steeplechase). The sewer infrastructure within the Steeplechase sewer shed was
designed with adequate capacity to serve that area. The subject property, however, is
located within a different sewer shed, so the Steeplechase infrastructure was not designed
to support this additional development. Additionally, the current wastewater master plan
was created with the expectation that this area of the City would remain low density or rural
in character. There are significant concerns regarding the downstream capacity and impact
fee implications. While there may currently be some available capacity to serve this
development, in the future the sanitary sewer system may not be able to adequately serve
other tracts within Steeplechase that were planned for under the current master plan, and
already have land use designations identified for higher density development. If lots in the
proposed development had a minimum size of one acre, they could be served by on-site
septic systems. It should also be noted that the subject property is not subject to impact
fees, and that the lift station and force main would become public infrastructure that the City
is responsible for owning and maintaining. Typically small lift stations have significant
maintenance issues and associated costs long term, which will not be recouped from the
customers who are served by it.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 of 7
June 18, 2015
The subject tract is in Hopes Creek Drainage Basin. Detention will be required with site
development. There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract, however further
study will be needed to identify and preserve flood prone areas. The development will be
required to comply with the City’s drainage ordinance and BCS Unified Stormwater Design
Guidelines.
Access will be via North Graham Road. Public infrastructure shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the requested GS General Suburban zoning. Staff believes the
proposed development to be incompatible with the existing surrounding land uses and existing
prevailing character and the future character of the area.
Additionally, the subject property has service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure,
the need for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow requirements, substandard rural
roads, and it is not located within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response time. The
City’s Comprehensive Plan is a long-range, twenty-year plan that includes future land uses,
thoroughfares, and utility lines that are considered together to assure that future development is
adequately served. The intensity of the proposed development cannot yet be served safely and
effectively.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character
designation on the property is “Restricted Suburban,” with a pending application to amend the
Plan to “General Suburban.” The property is also located in an unstudied Neighborhood Planning
Area. Generally, this area consists largely of undeveloped land used for agricultural purposes or
large acreage single-family residences. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the area is
anticipated to be developed for medium density single-family residential use. However, due to
current service limitations and the prevailing rural character, the area should remain rural in
character and be developed at a low intensity until the timing of services can be better improved
to support an appropriate level of density anticipated with the Comprehensive Plan.
“Rural” is a designation for areas that, due to service limitations, inadequate public infrastructure,
or prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities. These areas tend to
include a mix of large acreages (ranches and farmsteads) and large-lot (one acre or larger)
residential developments. Open space is the dominant feature of these areas.
“General Suburban” is a designation for areas that should have a intense level of development
with smaller lots (i.e.: 5,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open space).
The proposed General Suburban rezoning request is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
as the request is for a level of development much higher than what is existing and what has been
anticipated for the area.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood:The adjacent land uses are large lot single-family and rural
tracts varying in size from 2 to 45 acres (overall future density of 4 dwelling units per acre) and
land to the immediate south and west, located in the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The
ETJ is largely rural agricultural land with the exception of the Sherwood Heights Subdivision
which is a minimum half-acre subdivision.
The subject property and the surrounding area are currently developed as rural residential or
used for agricultural purposes. The character of the proposed development is not compatible with
existing surrounding uses and prevailing rural character of the area.
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 rezoning request is for a GS
General Suburban development, which allows for a gross development density of 8 dwelling units
per acre. The proposed amendment would allow for a development that could consist of minimum
5,000 square foot lot sizes or smaller if the development is clustered. Based on the density the
applicant is suggesting a development that would provide roughly 110 single-family lots.
The subject property and surrounding area has some infrastructure/service limitations:
·The property is in the Wellborn Special Utility District CCN. Wellborn SUD may not be
able to provide adequate fire flows in this area without upgrading existing waterlines.
·Sewer service is not available in this area. The developer intends to construct a lift
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0356,Version:1
station and a force main to an existing gravity sewer main near Keefer Loop and The
Barracks Subdivision.
·North Graham Road is a substandard road with limited capacity that is inadequate to
provide effective service to a development that would potentially generate in excess of
1100 trips per day based on a 10 trip per day count for the development of 110 single-
family lots.
·The property is not within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response time.
With the exception of sewer service, all of these issues exist regardless of whether the property is
developed as Estate lots or as Restricted Suburban lots. Some of these issues may be resolved
with other capital projects over time.
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 property is currently
zoned R Rural providing opportunities for large-lot rural residential development and agricultural
uses. The surrounding area is currently developed or used in a similar manner. Additionally, the
subject property has service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure, the need for
additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow requirements, substandard rural roads, and it
is not located within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response time. The property is
currently suitable for agricultural or rural residential 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 indicates
that while the property could be marketed as an R Rural subdivision, the marketability as entry
level single-family product is much better given the developments that are anticipated for the
general area being the future Mission Ranch and Polo Estates Subdivisions.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located within Wellborn
SUD’s CCN. Wellborn SUD has indicated that they will provide domestic water service for this
property. Domestic and fire flow demands will necessitate further water infrastructure
improvements at the time of final platting the property. These utilities will be required to be
designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The City does not currently have sanitary sewer infrastructure in the vicinity available to serve this
property. With the proposed site development, the applicant has indicated that they plan to
construct a lift station and a one mile force main. The force main would connect to a gravity
sanitary sewer system at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Keefer Loop, which is in the
Steeplechase-Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area (Steeplechase). The sewer
infrastructure within the Steeplechase sewer shed was designed with adequate capacity to serve
that area. The subject property, however, is located within a different sewer shed, so the
Steeplechase infrastructure was not designed to accommodate the sewer from the proposed
development. Additionally, the current wastewater master plan was created with the expectation
that this area of the City would remain low density or rural in character. There are significant
concerns regarding the downstream capacity and impact fee implications. While there may
currently be some available capacity to serve this development, in the future the sanitary sewer
system may not be able to adequately serve other tracts within Steeplechase that were planned
for under the current master plan, and already have land use designations identified for higher
density development. If lots in the proposed development had a minimum size of one acre, they
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0356,Version:1
could be served by on-site septic systems. It should also be noted that the subject property is not
subject to impact fees, and that the lift station and force main would become public infrastructure
that the City is responsible for owning and maintaining. Typically, small lift stations have
significant maintenance issues and associated costs long term which will not be recouped from
the customers who are served by it.
The subject tract is in Hopes Creek Drainage Basin. Detention will be required with site
development. There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract, however further
study will be needed to identify and preserve flood prone areas. The development will be
required to comply with the City’s drainage ordinance and BCS Unified Stormwater Design
Guidelines.
Access will be via North Graham Road. Public infrastructure shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with B/CS Unified Design Guidelines
Recommendation(s):The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on June 18, 2015
and voted 3-2 to approve the rezoning request. Staff recommends denial of the requested rezoning
because the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the subject property has
service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure, rural road sections, and Fire Department
response time. In summary, the intensity of the proposed development cannot yet be served safely
and effectively.
Summary: The applicant has requested rezoning approximately 22 acres from R Rural to GS
General Suburban for the property located at 3940 & 4300 North Graham Road.

PROPOSAL
The applicant has requested the proposed amendment to General Suburban as a step toward
permitting a residential subdivision on approximately 22.26 acres located west of Holleman
Drive South near the Sherwood Heights Subdivision and immediately north of the city
limit line. The subject property and properties to the north and east are primarily designated
Restricted Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character
designation on the property is “Restricted Suburban,” with a pending application to amend
the Plan to “General Suburban.” The property is also located in an unstudied Neighborhood
Planning Area. Generally, this area consists largely of undeveloped land used for
agricultural purposes or large acreage single-family residences. According to the
Comprehensive Plan, the area is anticipated to be developed for medium density single-
family residential use. However, due to current service limitations and the prevailing rural
character, the area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity until
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 7

the timing of services can be better improved to support an appropriate level of density
anticipated with the Comprehensive Plan.
“Rural” is a designation for areas that, due to service limitations, inadequate public
infrastructure, or prevailing rural character, should have limited development activities.
These areas tend to include a mix of large acreages (ranches and farmsteads) and large-lot
(one acre or larger) residential developments. Open space is the dominant feature of these
areas.
“General Suburban” is a designation for areas that should have a intense level of
development with smaller lots (i.e.: 5,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open
space).
The proposed General Suburban rezoning request is not consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan as the request is for a level of development much higher than what is existing and what
has been anticipated for the area overall.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The adjacent land uses are large lot single-family
and rural tracts varying in size from 2 to 45 acres (overall future density of 4 dwelling units
per acre) and land to the immediate south and west, located in the City’s Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction, ETJ is largely rural agricultural land with the exception of the Sherwood Heights
Subdivision which is a minimum half-acres subdivision.
The subject property and the surrounding area are currently developed as rural residential
or used for agricultural purposes. The character of the proposed development is not
compatible with existing surrounding uses and prevailing rural character of the area.
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 rezoning
request is for a GS General Suburban development, which allows for a gross development
density of 8 dwelling units per acre. The proposed amendment would allow for a
development that could consist of minimum 5,000 square foot lot sizes or smaller if the
development is clustered. Based on the density the applicant is suggesting a development
that would provide roughly 110 single-family lots.
The subject property and surrounding area has some infrastructure/service limitations:
The property is in the Wellborn Special Utility District CCN. Wellborn cannot
currently provide adequate fire flows in this area.
There is not sewer in this area. The developer intends to construct a lift station
and a force main to a sewer main near Keefer Loop and The Barracks
Subdivision.
North Graham Road is a substandard road with limited capacity that is
inadequate to provide effective service to a development that would potentially
generate in excess of 1100 trips per day based on a 10 trip per day count for the
suggested development size of 110 single-family lots.
The property is not within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response
time.

development and agricultural uses. The surrounding area is currently developed or used in
a similar manner. Additionally, the subject property has service limitations including a lack
of sewer infrastructure, the need for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow

marketability as entry level single-family product is much better given the developments that
are anticipated for the general area being the future Mission Ranch and Polo Estates
Subdivisions.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: The subject tract is located
within Wellborn SUD’s CCN. Wellborn SUD has indicated that they will provide domestic
water service for this property. Domestic and fire flow demands will necessitate further
water infrastructure improvements at the time of final platting the property. These utilities
will be required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines.
The City does not currently have sanitary sewer infrastructure in the vicinity available to
serve this property. With the proposed site development, the applicant has indicated that
they plan to construct a lift station on the east side of the property with approximately a mile
of force main located in Public Utility Easements (PUEs). The force main would connect to
a gravity sanitary sewer system at the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Keefer Loop,
which is in the Steeplechase-Wellborn Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area
(Steeplechase). The sewer infrastructure within the Steeplechase sewer shed was
designed with adequate capacity to serve that area. The subject property, however, is
located within a different sewer shed, so the Steeplechase infrastructure was not designed
to support this additional development. Additionally, the current wastewater master plan
was created with the expectation that this area of the City would remain low density or rural
in character. There are significant concerns regarding the downstream capacity and impact
fee implications. While there may currently be some available capacity to serve this
development, in the future the sanitary sewer system may not be able to adequately serve
other tracts within Steeplechase that were planned for under the current master plan, and
already have land use designations identified for higher density development. If lots in the
proposed development had a minimum size of one acre, they could be served by on-site
septic systems. It should also be noted that the subject property is not subject to impact
fees, and that the lift station and force main would become public infrastructure that the City
is responsible for owning and maintaining. Typically small lift stations have significant
maintenance issues and associated costs long term, which will not be recouped from the
customers who are served by it.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the requested GS General Suburban zoning. Staff believes the
proposed development to be incompatible with the existing surrounding land uses and existing
prevailing character and the future character of the area.
Additionally, the subject property has service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure,
the need for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow requirements, substandard rural
roads, and it is not located within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response time. The
City’s Comprehensive Plan is a long-range, twenty-year plan that includes future land uses,
thoroughfares, and utility lines that are considered together to assure that future development is
adequately served. The intensity of the proposed development cannot yet be served safely and
effectively.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Estate and Restricted Suburban to
Restricted Suburban and Suburban Commercial for approximately 25 acres located at 4201 Rock
Prairie Road, and more generally located at the northeast corner of Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond
Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals: (Select all that apply)
·Financially Sustainable City
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Neighborhood Integrity
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 18,
2015 meeting and voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the request. Staff also recommends approval.
The City's Comprehensive Plan is a long-range, twenty-year plan that includes future land uses,
thoroughfares, and utility lines that are planned and considered together to assure that future
development is adequately served, and is not an indication of appropriate timing of development.
Summary: The applicant has requested the proposed amendment to Restricted Suburban and
Suburban Commercial as a step toward permitting a residential subdivision on approximately 17
acres with an additional five to seven acres of Suburban Commercial located at the northeast corner
of Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond Road. The subject property and properties to the north and east
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 1 of 5

File #:15-0350,Version:1
are primarily designated Estate on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject property
is located north of the future Medical District. The subject property was studied as a part of the
Medical District Master Plan in 2012, and no future land use amendment was recommended for
the subject property at that time.
2. Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designation for approximately 25.5 acres from Restricted Suburban and
Estate to Restricted Suburban and Suburban Commercial. This amendment will allow for a future
residential subdivision with medium density single-family housing (average 10,000 square-foot
lots) and small-scale commercial development at the intersection of two future thoroughfares in
an area with a prevailing rural character. The proposed land use is more intense than the
surrounding land uses, but is less intense than potential future development south of Rock Prairie
Road in the Medical District area.
3. Availability of adequate information:A Restricted Suburban designation allows for future
development of a medium-density single-family residential subdivision and the Suburban
Commercial designation is for small-scale commercial development. Properties in this area are
primarily served by Wellborn Special Utility District (water). Wellborn SUD has indicated an ability
to serve domestic water service to the proposed subdivision, but cannot currently meet minimum
fire flow requirements. College Station Utilities has the ability to operate and maintain fire-only
waterline infrastructure to provide adequate fire flows for this development. College Station
Utilities does not receive revenue on fire-only lines. Preliminary discussions related to CCN
boundaries have begun with Wellborn SUD, but no agreement has been reached.
Currently, there is no sewer service in this area. Long term, however, there are plans to have a
gravity sewer line across Rock Prairie Road that could potentially serve this area.
The property and surrounding area are not within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute
response time.
Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for residential development. Rock Prairie Road is
substandard in both street width and condition, but is being rebuilt in its current configuration. Bird
Pond Road was recently improved, but retains a rural two-lane section.
4. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:The goal for College
Station's Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment. The subject property and surrounding area to the north and east
are identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of Growth Area III. Growth Area III states that
"due to the prevailing rural character, this area should remain rural in character and be developed
at a low intensity. A significant portion of the total area shall be retained as natural areas, parks,
or open spaces with land uses clustered or placed on large lots."
The proposed amendment shifts the existing Restricted Suburban designation further to the east
to encompass all of the subject property and extends the Suburban Commercial currently on the
south side of Rock Prairie Road to the north. Further amendments in this area are discouraged
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:15-0350,Version:1
due to a limited future street network and utility constraints in this area, as well as to retain the
existing rural character anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan.
5. Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:The
existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is primarily "Estate."
"Estate" is a designation for areas with a prevailing rural character that should have limited
development activities consisting of low-density single-family of one acre lots (or denser if
clustered).
Generally, land located between Carter's Creek and Rock Prairie Road is planned for low intensity
residential uses. Due to the location of Carter's Creek and existing rural residential development
in the area, there is very little thoroughfare infrastructure planned in this area, limiting overall
thoroughfare capacity.
The applicant has requested an amendment to "Restricted Suburban" and "Suburban
Commercial." "Restricted Suburban" is a designation for areas that should have a moderate level
of development with larger lots (10,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open space).
"Suburban Commercial" is a designation for concentrations of small-scale commercial that caters
to nearby residents. Although adjacent properties are also designated "Estate," properties to the
west, across Bird Pond Road, are already designated for "Restricted Suburban" and properties to
the south across Rock Prairie Road are designated "Suburban Commercial."
The property is located at the corner of two significant roadways. Rock Prairie Road is designated
as a Major Collector east of the realigned Bird Pond Road and as a Major Arterial west of Bird
Pond Road. Bird Pond Road is designated as a future Minor Arterial on the City's Thoroughfare
Plan Map and is proposed to be realigned through the subject property in the future. Both
roadways are currently built to a 2-lane rural section.
6. Compatibility with the surrounding area:The adjacent land uses are phases of Bird
Pond Estates to the north (average 1.25 acre lots with an overall future density of 0.4 dwelling
units per acre) and Flying Ace Ranch to the east (an 18 dwelling unit equestrian/residential
development with a density of 0.7 dwelling units per acre). Located further to the east is the
Carter Lake subdivision. These existing developments are in compliance with the Estate
designation on the Future Land Use & Character Map in this area. A Restricted Suburban
development with Suburban Commercial along Rock Prairie Road will provide a different
character than these existing developments.
Current agricultural land located to the west across Bird Pond Road is designated as future
Restricted Suburban. The amendment is consistent with future land uses to the west.
Current agricultural land located to the south across Rock Prairie Road has been planned for
Suburban Commercial in the future Medical District. The amendment is consistent with future land
uses to the south.
7. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network:Domestic water service for the majority of the area is located within the
CCN of the Wellborn Special Utility District. However, Wellborn does not have the ability to
provide fire adequate fire flow for the area. Water for fire lines to serve fire hydrants can be
provided by College Station Utilities.

File #:15-0350,Version:1
There are no existing sanitary sewer mains available to serve this property. As part of the
rezoning for this property, the developer is proposing to install a lift station and a force main to a
sewer line located near the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway
(nearly two miles).
The future Thoroughfare Plan in this area provides very little connectivity and/or capacity. Future
thoroughfares are limited in this area because of Carter's Creek to the north and the location of
existing rural residential development, including the Carter Lake subdivision. Both Rock Prairie
Road and Bird Pond Road are currently built to a 2-lane rural section. Upgrades to their future
thoroughfare sections are not currently planned, however, Rock Prairie Road is proposed to be
reconstructed at its current width in the future. A traffic impact analysis is not required for
residential development.
There is no FEMA regulated floodplain identified on the tract. The development will be required to
comply with the City's drainage ordinance.
8. Impact on the City's ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:The subject
property and surrounding area are not within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute response
time, a performance indicator that can have bearing on the City's ISO rating.
Properties northeast of the intersection of Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond Estates are located
within the Wellborn Special Utility District. Wellborn SUD cannot currently provide adequate fire
flows in this area.
There are currently no existing sanitary sewer mains available to serve this property, so a nearly
two mile force main with lift station have been proposed to accommodate development.
9. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:This area is not recognized as
environmentally sensitive. However, Growth Area III states that "due to the prevailing rural
character, this area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity. A
significant portion of the total area shall be retained as natural areas, parks, or open spaces with
land uses clustered or placed on large lots."
10. Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in
the Plan's vision and goals:The goal for College Station's Future Land Use and Character is to
create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts,
distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The proposed amendment
from Estate to Restricted Suburban and Suburban Commercial on just over 25 acres neither
furthers, nor limits the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. However, the amendment limits
more specific goals stated as a part of Growth Area III which indicates a desire to protect the
prevailing rural character of this area.

HISTORY
In February 2015, the Planning & Zoning Commission considered a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to Restricted Suburban for the subject property. The P&Z recommended denial of
that request in a 3-3 vote, citing timing, the need to preserve Estate densities in this area, and
the progression of land uses to protect existing development in the area as concerns. The
applicant chose not to proceed to City Council for a final decision. Because the City Council did
not consider this item, the applicant was not required to wait 180 days before applying for a new
Comprehensive Plan Amendment on the property.

File #:15-0351,Version:1
and voted 5-0 to approve the rezoning request. Staff recommends denial of the requested rezoning
because the subject property has service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure, the need
for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow requirements, rural road sections, and it is not
located within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute response time. The intensity of the proposed
development cannot yet be served safely and effectively.
Summary: The applicant has requested rezoning to 17.14 acres of RS Restricted Suburban and
3.732 acres of SC Suburban Commercial along the Rock Prairie Road frontage. An additional five
acres at the corner of Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond Road (also under consideration for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to SC Suburban Commercial) is not requested to be rezoned at
this time and would remain zoned R Rural.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The existing Future Land Use and Character
designation on the property is primarily "Estate," with a pending application to amend the Plan to
"Restricted Suburban" and "Suburban Commercial." The property is also located in Growth Area
III. Generally, this area consists of land along Rock Prairie Road surrounded by established rural
subdivisions. According to the Comprehensive Plan, due to service limitations and the prevailing
rural character, the area should remain rural in character and be developed at a low intensity.
"Estate" is a designation for areas with a prevailing rural character that should have limited
development activities consisting of low-density single-family of one acre lots (or denser if
clustered).
"Restricted Suburban" is a designation for areas that should have a moderate level of
development with larger lots (i.e.: 10,000 square feet or smaller if clustered around open space).
To accomplish this desired character, the City adopted the RS Restricted Suburban zoning district
in 2013.
"Suburban Commercial" is a designation for concentrations of small-scale commercial that caters
to nearby residents. To accomplish this desired character, the City adopted the SC Suburban
Commercial zoning district in 2012.
If the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map is
approved, the proposed rezoning will be in compliance.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood:The adjacent land uses are phases of Bird Pond
Estates to the north (acreage lots with an average lot size of 1.25 acres and an overall future
density of 0.4 dwelling units per acre) and Flying Ace Ranch to the east (an equestrian/residential
development with 18 dwelling units and a density of 0.7 dwelling units per acre).
The subject property and the surrounding area are currently developed as rural residential or
used for agricultural purposes. The character of the proposed development maybe compatible
with existing surrounding uses and prevailing rural character of the area as a gradient in intensity
from the proposed Medical District area located to the south across Rock Prairie Road.
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 rezoning request

is for RS Restricted Suburban and SC Suburban Commercial along Rock Prairie Road.
The subject property and surrounding area has some infrastructure/service limitations:
· The majority of the property is in the Wellborn Special Utility District CCN.
Wellborn cannot currently provide adequate fire flows in this area. College Station
Utilities has the ability to operate and maintain waterlines for fire hydrants needed to
meet minimum fire flow requirements, while Wellborn serves domestic water in this
area. CSU does not receive revenue on fire-only lines. Preliminary discussions related
to CCN boundaries have begun with Wellborn SUD, but no agreement has been
reached.
· There is not sewer in this area. The developer has proposed the construction of a
lift station and a nearly two mile long force main to a gravity sewer main near the
intersection of Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway. City staff recommends
a commitment to a gravity sanitary sewer line prior to rezoning of the property for
development.
· Both Rock Prairie Road and Bird Pond Road are not built to their ultimate cross
section. Rock Prairie Road is currently in substandard condition.
· The property is not within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute response time.
With the exception of sewer service, all of these issues exist regardless of the developed use of
the property. Some of these issues may be resolved with other capital projects over time.
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 property is
currently zoned R Rural providing opportunities for large-lot rural residential development and
agricultural uses. The surrounding area is currently developed or used in a similar manner.
Additionally, the subject property has service limitations including a lack of sewer infrastructure,
the need for additional water line infrastructure to meet fire flow requirements, rural road sections,
and it is not located within the Fire Department's desired 4.5 minute response time. The property
is suitable for agricultural or rural residential 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
indicates that while the property could be marketed as an R Rural subdivision, the marketability of
RS Restricted Suburban lots and SC Suburban Commercial lots is greater.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Currently, Wellborn SUD holds the majority of
the water CCN, but does not have sufficient capacity for fire protection. City of College Station will
need to maintain a water main through the subdivision to provide fire protection.
There is currently no sanitary sewer available to serve the property. It is possible to construct
s lift station with a force main along Rock Prairie Road to an existing sewer main near the
intersection of Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway. There is capacity in the line at
this time. However, as other development occurs in the area, capacity will be affected. City staff
recommends a commitment to a gravity sanitary sewer line prior to rezoning of the property for
development.
The subject tract is in Lick Creek Drainage basin. Detention is required with this development.

HISTORY
In February 2015, the Planning & Zoning Commission considered a rezoning to PDD Planned
Development District on the entire 25 acres that included a gated single-family subdivision with
approximately 70 homes. The P&Z recommended denial of that request in a 6-0 vote, citing
infrastructure concerns, density, and inconsistent character as concerns. The applicant chose
not to proceed to City Council for a final decision. Because the City Council did not consider
this item, the applicant was not required to wait 180 days before applying for a new zoning on
the property.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion of an ordinance amending Chapter 10
“Traffic Code” to remove parking along Arrington Road.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: Many citizens have contacted the City concerned about parking along Arrington Road
between State Highway 6 Frontage Road South and Decatur Drive. A primary concern is vehicles
needing to drive in the opposing left-turn lane or on the other side of the double yellow line due to
available pavement width.
Traffic engineering evaluated the parking situation and presented a need to remove parking along
Arrington Road to the Traffic Management Team. The Traffic Management Team evaluated Traffic
Engineering’s request and recommends removing parking along Arrington Road in the affected area.
Based upon the Traffic Management Teams Recommendation, City Staff presented a no parking
ordinance to the property owners, residents, and business owners along Arrington Road at a public
meeting on June 2, 2015. This included residents and property owners within Springcreek
Townhomes. The public meeting was held at Fire Station 3 on Barron road. Two (2) residents and
(3) business owners/managers attended. The business owners/managers in attendance were from
the School, the Car Wash, and the Steak House. City Staff also received one email from a citizen
that could not attend the meeting. All of the residents, property owners, and business
owners/managers at the public meeting support this ordinance. Additionally, the citizen that emailed
city staff is in support of this ordinance.

"Traffic Code" to remove stopping, standing, and parking along Ravenstone Loop, Appleby Place,
and Edinburgh Place.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: Many citizens have contacted the City concerned about the loading and unloading of
Forest Ridge Elementry School students at trailheads along Ravenstone Loop. A primary concern is
the ability to see pedestrians crossing the street at the trailheads and at Ravenstone Loop's
intersection with Appleby Place and Edinburgh Place. An additional concern is the ability for
emergency vehicles to respond to emergencies along Ravenstone Loop, Appleby Place, and
Edinburgh Place during school pick-up and drop-off periods.
Based upon the observations of the fire department, police department, and traffic engineering, the
city presented a no stopping, standing, or parking ordinance to the residents along Ravenstone Loop,
Appleby Place, and Edinburgh Place at a public meeting on June 4, 2015. The City of College
Station and The Castlegate Home Owners Association organized this meeting. Twenty (20) residents
attended the meeting; approximately half were in favor of the ordinance and half were not in favor of
the ordinance.
Those in favor of the ordinance were in favor over concerns for child safety, property damage from
people driving on grass, and emergency vehicle access. This group of citizens asked that the City
College Station, TX Printed on 7/2/2015Page 1 of 2

File #:15-0338,Version:1
look at extending the distance of the proposed removal to provide emergency vehicle access. After
considering this request, the Fire Department and Traffic Engineering have added these segments of
the roadway to the proposed removal.
Those opposed to the ordinance were opposed over concerns that this ordinance may negatively
affect property values, over a dislike for signs on their property, and concerns that the parking
ordinance will limit parking opportunities for guests and visitors.
Based upon the need for emergency vehicle access and the need to see pedestrians along
Ravenstone Loop, Appleby Place, and Edinburgh Place, the traffic management team recommends
approving this ordinance.
Budget & Financial Summary: The "NO STOPPING, STANDING, OR PARKING" signs are planned
operation and maintenance expenses accounted for in the Public Works Traffic Operations budget.
