PART 3 – EXECUTION 3.1 EXCAVATION A. All project excavation shall conform to the requirements of this specification. The completed roadway shall conform to the established alignment, grades and cross sections. B. Clearing and grubbing in excavation areas must be completed prior to beginning excavation operations. C. Topsoil shall be removed and stockpiled for reuse on the proposed surface. Topsoil in excess of what may be used on the finished surface shall be removed from the site by the contractor at no additional charge. Topsoil shall be assumed to be 6” deep, but shall be excavated deep enough to remove all roots and other organic material. Contractor shall first check with City to determine if the City would like to stockpile the topsoil. D. All suitable excavated materials shall be utilized, insofar as practicable, in constructing the required roadway sections or in uniformly widening embankments, flattening slopes, etc., as directed by the Engineer. Unsuitable roadway excavation and excavation in excess of that needed for construction shall be known as "Waste" and shall become the property of the Contractor to be disposed of at a location approved by the Engineer. E. If “Waste” material is to be placed on property owned by a third party, the City will need a letter from the third party stating acceptance of such fill. Fill will not be allowed in 100- year floodplain without approved permits. F. Waste areas shall be uniformly graded to drain, with the outer limits feathered to blend with the existing ground. Waste areas shall be seeded, capped with suitable material, or otherwise protected from long-term erosion. Approved – 8/2012 B/CS Unified Specifications 3 Section 31 23 00 Excavation and Embankment G. During construction, the roadbed and ditches shall be maintained in a condition to insure proper drainage at all times. Ditches and channels shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to the roadway section. H. Gravel or base material on all existing streets shall be salvaged and used to tie-in new construction with existing unpaved streets and gravel and flexible pavement driveways. Driveways will be adjusted to provide smooth connections to new construction and shall be restored to a condition equal to or better than that existing before work began. All salvageable asphalt, gravel or rock base material not used in the work shall remain the property of the city. Such unused materials, as designated by the Engineer, shall be hauled to the city stockpile or to other stockpile locations designated by the Engineer and closer to the project than the site above. 3.2 EMBANKMENT A. Prior to placing any embankment, all Clearing and Grubbing operations shall have been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which embankment is to be placed. B. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly compacted by approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the ground, including plowed loosened ground, or surface roughened by erosion or otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original grade by blading or other methods. Where indicated on Plans or required by the Engineer, the ground surface thus prepared shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling. C. Unless otherwise indicated on the Plans the surface of all unpaved areas, other than rock, which are to receive embankment shall be loosened by scarifying or plowing to a depth of not less than four (4) inches. The loosened material shall be re-compacted with the new embankment as hereinafter specified. D. Where indicated on Plans or directed by the Engineer, the surface of hillsides to receive embankment shall be loosened by scarifying or plowing to a depth of not less than four (4) inches, or cut into steps before embankment materials are placed. The embankment shall then be placed in layers, as hereinafter specified, beginning at the low side in part width layers and increasing the widths as the embankment is raised. The material which has been loosened shall be re-compacted simultaneously with the embankment material placed at the same elevation. E. Layers of embankment may be formed by utilizing equipment which will spread the material as it is dumped, or they may be formed by being spread by blading from piles or windrows dumped from excavating or hauling equipment in such amounts that material is evenly distributed. F. No material placed in the embankment by dumping in a pile or windrow shall be incorporated in a layer in that position. All such piles or windrows shall be moved by blading or similar methods. Clods or lumps of material shall be broken and the embankment material mixed by blading, harrowing, disking, or similar methods. G. Water required for sprinkling to bring the material to the moisture content necessary for maximum compaction shall be evenly applied. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to secure uniform moisture content throughout the layer by such methods as may be necessary. When water is required to achieve the required moisture content, the water must be from a source which does not contain any hazardous materials. Water removed from natural sources (ponds, lakes, rivers...) shall not impact any endangered species. Potable water sources shall be metered and paid by the contractor. Approved – 8/2012 B/CS Unified Specifications 4 Section 31 23 00 Excavation and Embankment H. Where embankments are to be placed adjacent to or over existing roadbeds, the roadbed slopes shall be plowed or scarified to a depth of not less than six (6) inches and the embankment built up in successive layers, as hereinafter specified, to the level of the old roadbed before its height is increased. Then, if directed, the top of the old roadbed shall be scarified and re-compacted with the next layers of the new embankment. The total depth of the scarified and added material shall not exceed the permissible depth of layer. I. Trees, stumps, roots, vegetation, or other unsuitable materials shall not be placed in embankment. J. Except as otherwise required by the Plans, all embankment shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the roadbed, unless otherwise specified, each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope of 1/4 inch per foot from the center line of the roadbed to the outside. Super elevated curves will require that each layer shall be constructed to conform to the super elevation required by the governing standard. K. Embankments shall be constructed to the grade established by the Engineer and completed embankments shall correspond to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the Plans. Each section of the embankment shall correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the Engineer. After completion of the roadway, it shall be continuously maintained to its finished section and grade until the project is accepted. 3.3 EARTH EMBANKMENTS A. Earth embankments shall be defined as those composed principally of material other than rock, and shall be constructed of accepted material from approved sources. B. Except as otherwise specified, earth embankments shall be constructed in successive layers for the full width of the individual roadway cross section and in such lengths as are best suited to the sprinkling and compaction methods utilized. C. Layers of embankment may be formed by utilizing equipment which will spread the material as it is dumped, or they may be formed by being spread by blading from piles or windrows dumped from excavating or hauling equipment in such amounts that material is evenly distributed. D. No material placed in the embankment by dumping in a pile or windrow shall be incorporated in a layer in that position. All such piles or windrows shall be moved by blading or similar methods. Clods or lumps of material shall be broken and the embankment material mixed by blading, harrowing, disking, or similar methods. E. Water required for sprinkling to bring the material to the moisture content necessary for maximum compaction shall be evenly applied. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to secure a uniform moisture content throughout the layer by such methods as may be necessary. F. All earth cuts, full or part width cuts in side hill which are not required to be excavated below sub-grade elevation for base and backfill, shall be scarified to a uniform depth of at least six (6) inches below grade. The material shall be mixed and reshaped by blading and then sprinkled and rolled in accordance with the requirements outlined above for earth embankments and to the same density as required for the adjacent embankment. 3.4 COMPACTION A. Each layer shall be compacted to the required density by suitable equipment. Approved – 8/2012 B/CS Unified Specifications 5 Section 31 23 00 Excavation and Embankment B. The depth of each layer, prior to compaction, shall not exceed that depth which will produce six (6) inch compacted thickness. Prior to and in connection with, the compaction operation each layer shall be brought to the moisture content necessary to obtain the required density and shall be kept leveled with suitable equipment to insure uniform compaction of the entire layer. C. For each layer of earth embankment and select material, it is the intent of this Specification to provide the density as required herein, unless otherwise shown on the Plans. Embankment soils shall be sprinkled as required and compacted to the extent necessary to provide not less than ninety-five (95) percent of the density as determined in accordance with Texas Highway Department Test Method Tex-113-E. Field density determinations will be made in accordance with approved methods. D. When the Contractor states that each layer of earth embankment or select material is complete and ready for the next layer, tests as necessary will be made by the Engineer. If the material fails to meet the density specified, the course shall be reworked as necessary to obtain the specified compaction, and the compaction method shall be altered on subsequent work to obtain specified density. Such procedure shall be determined by, and subject to, the approval of the Engineer. E. Should the sub-grade, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density, or finish before the pavement structure is placed, it shall be re-compacted and refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Excessive loss of moisture in the sub-grade shall be prevented by sprinkling, sealing or covering with a subsequent layer of granular material. Excessive loss of moisture shall be construed to exist when the sub-grade soil moisture content is more than four (4) percent below the optimum for the density specified. F. In addition to the requirements in the Roadway Excavation item of the Specifications covering the general selection and utilization of materials to improve the roadbed, embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence to receive the select material layers shown on Plans, with such modifications as may be directed by the Engineer. The layer of embankment immediately preceding the upper layer of select material shall be constructed to the proper section and grade within a tolerance of not more than 0.10 foot from the established section and grade when properly compacted and finished to receive the select material layer. 3.5 PROOF ROLLING A. Prior to the placement of any material on native earth, the area shall be proof rolled. The native soil shall be rolled with sufficient intensity to bring out weak spots in the sub-grade which would otherwise fail during the construction process. The proof rolling shall be completed with equipment weighing at least 20 tons with tire pressures at least 50 and no more than 150 psi. A minimum of two coverage’s of the proof roller will be required each succeeding trip of the proof roller shall be offset by not greater than one tire width. Rollers shall be operated at speed between 2 and 6 miles per hour. Areas failing this test shall be excavated to a depth not to exceed two feet and horizontally ten feet beyond the failed area in all directions. Earth removed from this area may be replaced, stabilized, or “dried out” at the discretion of the engineer. No additional payment will be made for proof rolling prior to placement of embankment.

Gerber, AIA, LEED AP BD+C PGAL 3131 Briarpark, Suite 200 Houston, TX 77042 Reference: Geotechnical Report College Station Monument Sign College Station, Texas Corsair Project No. 1500528 Dear Mr. Gerber: Corsair Consulting LLC has completed the subsurface exploration associated with the monument sign foundation near the University Drive Bridge over Highway 6, College Station, Texas. The scope of this study was to: • Explore the subsurface conditions at the site; • Perform laboratory tests to identify subsurface materials; • Develop the boring log in accordance with the TxDOT Geotechnical Manual; and • Provide foundation recommendations for the planned monument sign. The boring log, summary of laboratory test results, LPile parameters table and drilled shaft foundation capacity curves are attached in the Appendix. With regards to the foundation for the monument sign, we understand the preferred foundation type will be an 18 inch, straight-sided drilled shaft foundation with a vertical demand of 10 tons per drilled shaft. We further understand that numerous shafts will be used for this monument sign. Based on the results of the field exploration and laboratory testing program and our evaluation of subsurface materials, we have developed sign foundation vertical capacity curves. It is a typical practice to ignore the top 10 feet of the foundation vertical contribution due to the shrink and swell nature of the moderate to high plasticity clay soils present in the boring. However, we understand that this is a monument sign and it may be able to take a considerable amount of vertical movement. If this assumption is correct, it appears that an 18 inch drilled shaft embedded at a depth of about 10 feet would be sufficient to support the design load. If sign foundations are designed such that they should not move more than 1 inch, we recommend a foundation depth of about 20 feet in order to resist uplift movements from the swelling soils. The structural engineer should also verify that the proposed depth of these shafts would meet lateral loads with allowable deflection. Page 2 Based on the abundance of high plasticity clays that may have high sulfate contents, we recommend, as a measure of caution, Type II Modified concrete be specified for all concrete in contact with the soil. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to PGAL and look forward to working with you on future projects. Please call us if you have any questions concerning this report or any of our services.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Core Services and Infrastructure Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the landscape maintenance contracts. Summary: The management of all landscape maintenance of City properties, except regional parks and athletic facilities, has been consolidated into the Department of Public Works. The current contract expires in May of 2016. Staff solicited proposals for all of the City’s landscape maintenance needs (except regional parks and athletic fields). Request for Proposals solicited from contractors for landscape maintenance were divided into five (5) categories: 1) Facilities - city buildings and Northgate District 2) Electric - CSU electric substations and buildings 3) Water/Wastewater - CSU water and wastewater sites 4) Parks - includes neighborhood parks and cemeteries 5) Finish mowing - primarily street right of ways and medians Five (5) vendors submitted bids on all, or some, of the categories in the Request for Proposal #16-054. After evaluation by city staff members from Parks, Water & Wastewater, Public Works, Finance, and Purchasing, two vendors ranked the highest for award of city mowing services. Grassmasters ranked the highest for services that they bid on, including City Facilities, Electric Sites and Water & Wastewater sites. Green Teams ranked the next highest to provide mowing services for City Parks and Finish Mowing sites.

Several factors contributed to the increase including the addition of new park facilities and the inclusion of optional mows in the contract. Optional mows are done on an as-needed basis and no cost is incurred for those not optional mows not performed. Cost increases due to weed and ant control also contribute to the increase in this contract. This increase was not anticipated in the General Fund financial forecast that was presented to Council as part of the FY16 budget process. The increase has been incorporated into the FY17 target budgets and the impact will be assessed as the FY17 budget process proceeds. Attachments: 1.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Good Governance ·Neighborhood Integrity Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 7, 2016 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. Summary: The applicant is requesting a GS General Suburban zoning on approximately 0.392 acres to allow for the opportunity to create a single-family home on the property. The site is currently vacant, but has been developed as light commercial uses in the past. 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 as Neighborhood Conservation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. This designation is used in areas that are generally built out and are not intended to see extensive College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0223,Version:1 infill development or redevelopment. The areas labeled as Neighborhood Conservation were typically platted prior to the city’s current development regulations often resulting in non- conforming situations. Specifically, The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan discusses that while commercial development potential on this particular tract is a very limited, if a commercial use were to develop it may negatively impact the Neighborhood Conservation area. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood:The surrounding property is zoned GS General Suburban, a designation received after annexation. Continuation of the General Suburban pattern in the area is compatible with the present zoning and conforming single-family uses. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The subject area has frontage to Tarrow Street, a two lane major collector, and located two blocks away from the nearest commercial uses fronting University Drive East. Other commercial uses do exist directly across Tarrow Street. However, the subject property is surrounded by a general suburban zoning and development pattern and is the last property in the immediate area that has yet to be rezoned to a residential use. Due to these conditions, this area is more suitable for a residential use. 4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The current designation of C-3 Light Commercial is a retired zoning district that allows for smaller neighborhood type services. Typically this land use is a transitional, step-down zone that is located at the fringe of more intense General Commercial Uses and General Suburban uses. Historically, there were commercial uses on the property, which have since been removed. Considering current development requirements it would be very difficult to develop without consolidating and rezoning additional property adjacent to this site, which is zoned for General Suburban uses. The site could also request to eliminate such requirements as buffering to single-family uses to allow for a larger portion of land that could be developed. 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 states the property has a higher marketability as a single-family land use given its close proximity to commercial services along University Drive East and the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 2-inch water line that runs along one side of this property adjacent to Banks Street, which will be used to serve half of this property. The other half of this property will be served by an existing 4-inch line that runs along one side of this property adjacent to Peyton Street. There is an existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line along Banks Street that ties into a manhole at the corner of the subject property then continues along the rear property line which will serve this property. As this site is being re-platted concurrently with the rezoning request access to the subject property is being restricted to Banks Street as a single-family residential property is not allowed to take access off a collector or greater classification street. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use.

Summary: The applicant is requesting a SC Suburban Commercial zoning on approximately 0.5 acres to allow for office space. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map amendments: College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0224,Version:1 REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is located within the Wellborn Community Plan area, with a Future Land Use and Character designation of Wellborn Commercial. Similar to Suburban Commercial, this land use is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that focus primarily on the nearby residents versus the larger community. Such uses should be limited in size and not accommodate for drive-thru services. Specific design elements as described in the Wellborn Community Plan should be incorporated into development to limit the visual impact on the community and enhance the defined character. The applicant is looking to rezone three lots from R Rural to SC Suburban Commercial. The proposed zoning district is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Property directly to the north and south are currently zoned R Rural and developed as single-family homes. Property to the east was recently rezoned to SC Suburban Commercial in order to develop an office use. SC Suburban Commercial is intended to be compatible with the character of suburban single- family neighborhoods. Buildings have a residential character and scale, and sites are heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of non-residential uses and associated parking areas on adjacent residential zoning districts. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the uses and character of the Wellborn Community. 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 subject area is directly adjacent to Wellborn Road, a major arterial, and are surrounded by single-family homes as well as existing and proposed commercial uses. Due to these conditions, the properties are suitable for SC Suburban Commercial uses. 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 subject area is currently zoned R Rural which allows for an average lot size of three acres. When the Wellborn area was annexed in 2011, it received an A-O designation as a placeholder which was later renamed to R Rural. The property may continue to be used as a single-family home, but with frontage to a major arterial, this is not the most suitable use. 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:R Rural allows for rural residential and agricultural uses. With continuing development in the area, frontage to Wellborn Road, and a recent rezoning to Suburban Commercial to the east, the property has limited marketability under the current zoning district. 6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is available to these properties from the Wellborn Special Utility District. There is also an adjacent 8-inch sanitary sewer line that may serve the area. Drainage is mainly to the west within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0224,Version:1 appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time. The subject properties have frontage on FM 2154, a proposed 4-lane Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan.

Summary: The applicant is requesting a SC Suburban Commercial zoning on approximately three acres to allow for the opportunity to create neighborhood commercial opportunities along FM 2154. The site is currently vacant. College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0225,Version:1 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 as Wellborn Restricted Suburban in the Wellborn Community Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The intent of the Wellborn Restricted land use was provide area for additional residential land that could be smaller in size than the rural or estate designations allowing for a slight increase in density. Knowing this land use designation extends up to Wellborn Road there was flexibility added to the language allowing for office and light commercial activity not to exceed more than 15 percent of the total area designated as Wellborn Restricted Suburban. The request to rezone to a Suburban Commercial use is in compliance with the 15 percent limitation and in extension is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan designation. 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood:The surrounding property is zoned R Rural, a designation received after annexation. Nearby properties are large lot residential and agricultural- open. Commercial can be found further north on Wellborn Road. SC Suburban Commercial is intended to be compatible with the character of suburban single-family neighborhoods. Buildings have a residential character and scale, and sites are heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of non-residential uses and associated parking areas on adjacent residential zoning districts. Suburban Commercial will be more intense than the existing adjacent land uses, but not necessarily out of character with the larger 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 subject area has frontage to Wellborn Road (FM 2154), a major arterial, and located near other commercial uses. The Wellborn Community Plan allows for some light commercial in the area designated Wellborn Restricted Suburban. SC Suburban Commercial on approximately three acres would allow for low -density commercial uses that cater to nearby residents and is in line with the Wellborn Community Plan. 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 designation of R Rural allows property to be subdivided into an average of three acre lots for agricultural and/or residential use. Minimal development in the immediate area makes these uses suitable, but when the area was annexed in 2015, it was zoned R Rural as a placeholder designation. 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 states the property is unmarketable for rural and agricultural uses as development continues to occur along FM 2154. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn Special Utility District. There is an existing 12-inch sanitary sewer line along the south side of Royder Road available to serve this property. Capacity is currently available in the downstream College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0225,Version:1 sanitary sewer system to support the proposed use, however capacity will need to be analyzed further with site development. Drainage is mainly to the south within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin, where detention is required. Access to the site will be along Wellborn Road, subject to TxDOT requirements and permitting. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use at this time. Budget & Financial Summary: N/A Legal Review: Yes Attachments: 1.Background Information 2.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Good Governance ·Financially Sustainable City ·Core Services and Infrastructure ·Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 7, 2016 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. Summary: The applicant is requesting a GC General Commercial zoning on approximately one half acre to create opportunity for a commercial restaurant to develop. The site is currently developed as an office building. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0226,Version:1 amendments: REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated as Urban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map and is also located within Redevelopment Area II. The redevelopment area designation was identified due to the property’s proximity to one of the busiest of the city’s corridors. Additionally, the underperforming land uses and small lot configuration have made it difficult to assemble land for redevelopment. Intense development consisting of high-density residential activities is allowed. General commercial and office uses, business parks, and vertical mixed-use activities may also be permitted when property is also within a growth or redevelopment area. Given the Urban designation and being within a redevelopment area, the proposed request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood:The current zoning of O Office is compatible with the immediately adjacent properties and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Urban. However, the proposed rezoning of GC General Commercial will allow more flexibility in the type of intense uses allowed that would support the proposed and existing development fronting University Drive East such as the hotel development that recently rezoned most of the property on this block. Under the current development guidelines, the property owner will be required to meet such standards related to landscaping, nonresidential architectural relief and others that will aid in allowing a more compatible development with the surrounding uses. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: A rezoning to GC General Commercial would be compatible with area redevelopment and meets the property owner’s intention to redevelop the site for a commercial restaurant use. The surrounding area is currently experiencing an increase in redevelopment and interest to consolidate property to allow for the creation of sites that would retain a larger commercial use. The allowance of the proposed rezoning helps meet the demand for more intense commercial activity along the University Drive corridor. 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 only uses permitted by the existing district are for office-related uses. The property owner intends to utilize the property for commercial restaurant type uses, which is currently not a permitted use under the office zoning district. The existing office land use is suitable and is allowed within the General Commercial designation, but does not allow for more intense uses that would be appropriate along the University Drive Corridor. 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 property could remain O Office but allowing GC General Commercial would improve its marketability and consistency with the adjacent property fronting University Drive East. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 6-inch waterline along the west side of University Drive East and an existing 1-inch waterline along the south side of Eisenhower Street. The 1-inch waterline is proposed to be upsized per the Water Master Plan with the adjacent College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0226,Version:1 development. Additionally, there is an existing 6-inch sanitary sewer line along the west side of University Drive East and an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer line along the north side of Eisenhower Street that are available to serve this tract. The subject property is located in the Burton Creek Drainage Basin but is not within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. The tract is bordered on the south by University Drive East, a 6-lane major arterial, and Eisenhower Street, a local street, on the east. Access will be provided via a single drive to Eisenhower Street. Any proposed public infrastructure improvements must be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines with site development. Public facilities appear to be adequate for the proposed use.

Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Good Governance ·Financially Sustainable City ·Core Services and Infrastructure ·Diverse Growing Economy College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 1 of 5 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0227,Version:1 Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item on April 7, 2016 and voted 7-0 to recommend approval. Summary::The applicant is requesting a PDD Planned Development District zoning on approximately four acres to create a development that has a mix of uses being Multi-Family and a commercial restaurant. The site is currently developed with a building housing some commercial retail space. The PDD uses a base zoning district of MU Mixed Use and GC General Commercial and aims to make some development characteristics conforming such as setbacks, and buffer requirements. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map amendments: REVIEW CRITERIA 1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates the subject property as General Commercial and Urban. These properties were included in the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan and it was agreed that General Commercial and Urban uses were appropriate. The subject area is across Luther from Urban Redevelopment and is at the edge of Growth Area VI, which calls for a very intense level of development activity tending to consist of townhouses, duplexes, and apartments. Within this growth area, the entire area designation is to also include commercial, office, business park, and vertical mixed uses. A mix of apartments and commercial uses on the property, and possibly a mixed use structure would be consistent with the spirit of the plan. 2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood: Much of the property in the immediate vicinity is zoned as GS General Suburban for single-family residential developments and R-6 High Density Multi- Family. The proposed PDD includes more intense land uses, which the Comprehensive Plan anticipates with the Urban designation including High-Density Multi-Family with potential for commercial services incorporated as a vertical mixed-use, and a freestanding commercial restaurant. 3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: Considering the current Comprehensive Plan designation, the property is illustrated with Urban and General Commercial land uses. The requested PDD includes uses that the Comprehensive Plan anticipates as being suitable for this area over the 20-year Plan horizon. 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 subject property is currently zoned as GC General Commercial and GS General Suburban. The current zoning districts are suitable for the property given the current development pattern of nearby property. However, it is not suitable for the anticipated future growth. Additionally, the applicant is looking to move forward with a Multi-Family development that is currently not allowed in either of the two 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 property can College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 2 of 5 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0227,Version:1 currently be marketed under the current zoning with permitted General Commercial and Single- Family residential uses. However, the applicant has noted that the new request to change the current zoning of the property to allow a more intense level of Multi-Family residential and General Commercial activities will help increase the marketability and development of the property. 6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: A two inch water line connected to an eight inch line along Luther Street currently serves the property. There is a 6-inch inch water line near the southeast side of the property. Wastewater is currently served by a 6-inch line on the property. Downstream wastewater improvements are needed for the proposed use and are currently under design by the applicant. Drainage is generally to the east within the Bee Creek drainage basin. All utilities shall be designed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines at the time of platting and site development. The site fronts Wellborn Road (FM 2154) being a proposed 6- Lane Major Arterial and Luther Street a 2-Lane Minor Collector. As shown in the Concept Plan the site will be taking direct access to Luther Street and Lonnie Lane, a private driveway serving the multi-family development behind the subject property. SUMMARY OF PDD AND CONCEPT PLAN The Concept Plan provides an illustration of the general layout of the proposed building and parking areas as well as other site related features.In proposing a PDD, an applicant may also request variations to the general platting and site development standards provided that those variations are outweighed by demonstrated community benefits of the proposed development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria as the basis for reviewing PDD Concept Plans: The applicant has provided the following information related to the purpose and intent of the proposed zoning district: “The purpose and intent of the zoning is to consolidate and redevelop properties for a multi-family and residential use with structured and surface parking. The multi-family use is consistent with the surrounding properties, and a family-friendly restaurant will be provided.” The applicant proposes to utilize GC General Commercial, and MU Mixed Use as the base, underlying zoning districts, as applicable. The range of future building heights is proposed to be in compliance with the Easterwood Airport height restrictions. At the time of plat and site plan, the project will need to meet all applicable standards required by the Unified Development Ordinance. Through the PDD, the applicant’s request for the following meritorious modifications are an effort to provide flexibility with the development and allow for the creation of a unified and cohesive project: •UDO Section 12-7.7 F "Minimum Buffer Standards," As shown on the Concept Plan, the applicant is requesting that no 10- foot buffer be required between the Commercial and Multi- Family developments in order to promote a single development feel with open access between the uses. Generally a 10-foot buffer and a fence is required when there is Multi-Family adjacent to General Commercial uses. In order to provide adequate fire access and allow for the appearance College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 3 of 5 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0227,Version:1 of a uniform development, the applicant is asking this requirement be removed. •UDO Section 12-5.4 "Non-Residential Dimensional Standards" For the restaurant use, the front setback will be consistent with the mixed-use setback to more closely maintain a consistent building line throughout the development. In the General Commercial zoning district there is a minimum 25-foot front building setback. The applicant is asking to have the Mixed-Use dimensional standards apply in that the building would not have a minimum front setback, but would have a maximum building setback of 15- feet. Again this is to aid in allowing for a more unified development and to provide a more consistent building line along Wellborn Road. In addition to the maximum 15-foot building setback the development was also designed with future improvements to Wellborn Road in mind. The Concept Plan indicates a 20 foot buffer for future right-of-way dedication, which would have been difficult to obtain for future improvements to the roadway had the applicant not accounted for it. •UDO Section 12-7.13 “Traffic Impact Analysis”The proposed zoning would generate approximately 194 peak hour trips. The current zoning would generate approximately 198 peak hour trips. The applicant has requested that the traffic impact analysis be deferred to the site planning stage since the potential traffic generation is not being increased with the proposed zoning change. A traffic impact analysis would be required for the entire development with the site plan application for the first phase of the development. The Unified Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for PDD Concept Plans: 1.The proposal will constitute an environment of sustained stability and will be in harmony with the character of the surrounding area:The Concept Plan proposes a mix of multi-family and commercial uses. As designated in the Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is proposed as Urban and General Commercial and lying at the perimeter of Growth Area VI. An environment with a mix of uses potentially allows better opportunities for residents to shop, dine, and potentially work where they live, thus reducing traffic on nearby streets and encouraging a more walkable environment. The proximity to Texas A&M University and the bike lanes and sidewalks along Wellborn Road provide increased opportunities to encourage pedestrian and bicycle accessibility throughout the development and to the larger area. 2.The proposal is in conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and any subsequently adopted Plans, and will be consistent with the intent and purpose of this Section:The proposed Concept Plan is in general conformity with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use and Character Map designates this area for Urban uses, including multi-family, and commercial, which is what is proposed. 3.The proposal is compatible with existing or permitted uses on abutting sites and will not adversely affect adjacent development:The proposed development is bordered by Multi- Family directly behind the property and also across Wellborn Road, and a City Park to the southeast. The addition of Multi-Family in this area meets the expectations of the Comprehensive Plan and works to provide additional services to nearby residents and park visitors. 4.Every dwelling unit need not front on a public street but shall have access to a public street directly or via a court, walkway, public area, or area owned by a homeowners association:The proposed development includes access to Luther Street and Lonnie Lane. The multi-family units and commercial uses will access these roadways through a network of private College Station, TX Printed on 4/22/2016Page 4 of 5 powered by Legistar™ File #:16-0227,Version:1 drive aisles as depicted on the Concept Plan. 5.The development includes provision of adequate public improvements, including, but not limited to, parks, schools, and other public facilities:There is currently a Capital Improvements Project that is constructing the portion of the sidewalk along Wellborn Road in front of this development. This along with internal sidewalk connections, will help facilitate bike and pedestrian transportation in the area. 6.The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity:The development will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 7.The development will not adversely affect the safety and convenience of vehicular, bicycle, or pedestrian circulation in the vicinity, including traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use and other uses reasonably anticipated in the area considering existing zoning and land uses in the area:As mentioned earlier, the proposed zoning would generate approximately 194 peak hour trips. The current zoning would generate approximately 198 peak hour trips. The applicant has requested that the traffic impact analysis be deferred to the site planning stage since the potential traffic generation is not being increased with the proposed zoning change. A traffic impact analysis would be required for the entire development with the site plan application for the first phase of the development.

Reference. The term College Station Comprehensive Plan includes all of the above in its entirety as if presented in full herein, and as same may from time to time be amended.” Ordinance No._________ Page 5 of 5 EXHIBIT “B” That the “Comprehensive Plan of the City of College Station” is hereby amended by deleting Chapter 8 “Growth Management & Capacity” thereof and substituting a new Chapter 8 “Growth Management & Capacity” to read as follows: Urban College Station faces major investments in water and wastewater infrastructure in coming years to keep pace with increased population. Along with traffic and drainage challenges, this is but one example of the capacity considerations that must be anticipated to plan effectively for projected growth. GROWTH MANAGEMENT & CAPACITY 8 As College Station continues to expand, both in population and geographic extent, it will face opportunities and challenges associated with managing growth over a much larger area. Since the adoption of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, the City’s population surpassed 100,000 people in January 2014 – just as originally projected. This milestone allows the City the option to extend its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) from the current three and one-half miles beyond City limits to five miles. This will result in further expansion into Brazos County, Burleson County, and Grimes County. PURPOSE The purpose of this chapter is to establish the necessary policy guidance and associated strategies and actions to enable the City of College Station to manage its ongoing physical growth and development in a sensible, predictable, and fiscally responsible manner. It highlights the need to encourage additional infill development, absorb more population in appropriate areas within the current City limits, pursue strategic annexations, and manage growth in the ETJ. The preparation of this chapter involved examining College Station’s growth history, projected growth trends, and existing methods used to manage growth. The discussion then turns to options the community should consider to ensure that the benefits of growth are not offset by increased traffic congestion, loss of valued open space, or other impacts that adversely affect residents’ quality of life and the local business environment. The vision as to how College Station will grow – and manage its growth – in the future was formed by the concerns and ideas expressed by residents during community outreach events and through a series of working meetings with the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND Orderly growth of the City, within the current City limits and ultimately into strategic portions of the ETJ, is critical to its long-term viability. A municipality has a responsibility to its residents and taxpayers to ensure a growth pattern that makes good fiscal sense, particularly in terms of the infrastructure investments needed to keep pace with growth. Effective growth management can prevent roads, utility infrastructure, and public facilities from becoming overloaded by a scale and intensity of College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 - 1 Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 development that cannot yet be served safely and effectively. It can also serve to promote strategies identified in the Green College Station Action Plan by guiding growth and development to targeted infill areas, thereby maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the City’s existing infrastructure network. In recent years, the City and Texas Department of Transportation have made substantial investments in roadway improvements to improve traffic flow within College Station. At the same time, dispersed development activity in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction increases traffic demand and raises safety issues on minimally improved rural roads (narrow pavement width, no shoulders, basic surface, limited drainage provisions). Numerous new access driveways along rural road corridors are the most visible sign of this growth impact. Past Growth Pattern Over the last six decades, College Station has experienced rapid population growth, averaging 90% per decade. When the outliers (the 1940s at 263% growth and the 1970s at 111% growth) are excluded, the average rate of growth per decade is 42%. As the scale of the community increased, its rate of growth naturally began to moderate (41% in the 1980s and 29% in the 1990s), although the additional population and development each decade certainly remained significant. Purpose of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) As a Home Rule municipality (greater than 5,000 population and with its own City Charter), College Station has some authority over a larger unincorporated planning area, beyond its current City limits, that is known in Texas as the “Extraterritorial Jurisdiction,” or ETJ. In Chapter 42 of the TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE, the Texas Legislature declares it to be State policy that ETJs be created around cities so that municipal governments can “promote and protect the general health, safety, and welfare of persons residing in and adjacent to” the City limits. College Station’s increase in population and corresponding employment growth is a positive indicator of the City’s economic competitiveness and stability. While attracting and sustaining economic development is a primary goal, the community must also consider ways to maximize the fiscal benefits associated with additional development. The physical growth pattern of the City and the efficient provision of City services are key factors in this consideration. As displayed in Figure 8.1, Increasing Development Fragmentation , since the 1970s the form of development in and around College Station has become progressively scattered. This is partly due to the location of floodplains and other physical constraints. However, between 2000 and 2008, the number of platted lots in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction averaged 16.8% of the total annual platted lots. The trend of peripheral growth is long-standing. Development began to scatter in the 1980s and has increasingly sprawled outward since. Continuation of this growth pattern will become increasingly problematic due to the challenges associated with providing cost efficient City services and infrastructure to expanding areas. 8 - 2 College Station Comprehensive Plan College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity FIGURE 8.1 Increasing Development Fragmentation PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Growth Management Growth management represents a key opportunity for College Station to influence the timing, pattern, and quality of development through a variety of tools at the disposal of Texas municipalities. However, there are also State- imposed limitations that restrict the City’s ability to guide growth in the ETJ and urban type development at the City’s edge has been an ongoing challenge. 8 - 3 College Station Comprehensive Plan Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 What are Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs)? A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a political subdivision authorized by the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to provide water, sewer, drainage, and/or other municipal services within its clearly defined boundaries. These political subdivisions are recognized as taxing entities by the State of Texas in order to raise funds within its boundaries to pay for the costs of providing the municipal services. How does a MUD work? The publicly elected Board of Directors manages and controls all of the affairs of the MUD subject to the continuing supervision of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality. The Board establishes policies in the interest of its residents and utility customers. A MUD may adopt and enforce all necessary charges, fees and taxes in order to provide district facilities and service. How is a MUD created? A majority of property owners in the proposed district petitions the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality to create a MUD. The TCEQ evaluates the petition, holds a public hearing, and grants or denies the petition. After approval, the TCEQ appoints five temporary members to the MUD Board of Directors, until an election is called to elect permanent Board members, to confirm the MUD’s creation, and to authorize bonds and taxing authority for bond repayment. Along with the typical cost advantages of developing in the ETJ, there is also the allure of country living in locations that are detached from other development – a real market factor that must be recognized and accommodated when identifying future growth areas. It is also important to note that recent ETJ platting activity has prepared the way for substantial numbers of residential lots regardless of future actions to manage growth. Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) The City adopted a Municipal Utility District (MUD) policy in January 2014 to establish City Council authority over the creation, operation, and dissolution of MUDs within the City limits or it’s ETJ. MUDs can be an excellent tool used in financing, constructing, and operating quality water, wastewater, and drainage facilities because they allow the developer and future property owners to absorb the costs and pay for them over time. In March 2015, the City Council granted consent for the first MUD in Brazos County (Brazos County MUD No.1). MUDs can be an excellent tool for managing growth in the ETJ because they allow development to occur in a planned manner while provide a means to finance needed infrastructure. MUDs typically include a Development Agreement with the City that outlines development standards and guidelines that aren’t normally enforced in the ETJ absent an agreement. Sprawl Sprawl, by definition, is a spread-out or leap-frog development pattern which blurs the urban edge and intrudes, often in a haphazard way, upon the low intensity nature of the rural landscape. To the extent that some Extraterritorial Jurisdiction developments around College Station involve suburban and even urban intensities, the growth management challenge becomes even greater for the City. For those Extraterritorial Jurisdiction residents who chose a more remote living location, versus in city living, the erosion of rural character from dense piecemeal development impacts their investment and day-to- day quality of life. There are several reasons why the recent pattern of growth has occurred in and around College Station, including, but not limited to, the following: 8 - 4 • There is a lure to greenfield development due to the ease of development approval, particularly since the City has no authority within its Extraterritorial College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity Jurisdiction to regulate: o The use of any building or property for business, industrial, residential, or other purposes; o The bulk, height, or number of buildings constructed on a particular tract; o The size of a building that can be constructed on a particular tract of land, including, without limitation, any restriction on the ratio of building floor space to the land square footage (floor area ratio); o The number of residential units that can be built per acre of land (density); o The size, type, or method of construction of a water or wastewater facility that can be constructed to serve a developed tract of land, subject to specified criteria; or, o Building standards by requiring building permits and inspections. • The City’s current oversize participation ordinance allows the City to pay up to 100% of the total cost for any over-sizing of improvements that it requires in anticipation Under the Texas statutory framework, a City may not extend its zoning regulations to the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. Therefore, College Station has no direct means to manage the location and intensity of new development in largely rural areas unless it annexes. To do so, it must have the capacity to extend City services to such areas while meeting existing and future needs within the current City limits. of future development. There are no stated exceptions or criteria regarding its cost effectiveness; financial feasibility; or conformance with utility master plans, the Comprehensive Plan, or other development policies. • There are both allowances and limitations within the Unified Development Ordinance, including: o The R Rural zoning district allows a minimum lot size of two-acres and average lot size of three-acres, meaning that residences utilizing on- site sewer treatment systems are permitted. Although this district is not actively used, its availability as a zoning option could contribute to development fragmentation if this zoning were to be granted in the outlying areas of the corporate limits where adequate municipal facilities are not yet available. o The Unified Development Ordinance contains a relatively large number of use-based zoning districts. Essentially, this means that a zone change is necessary to respond to a shift in the market, which adds process and delays development. This is a disincentive for development to occur within the City rather than the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, where zoning does not apply. o There are limited incentives integrated into the current ordinance to encourage certain development types. Increased density in 8 - 5 College Station Comprehensive Plan Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 exchange for development clustering and more open space could allow a rural development environment within the City limits rather than necessitating Extraterritorial Jurisdiction development to achieve this character. • Availability of water from other providers (Wellborn Special Utility District, Brushy Creek Water Supply Corporation, and Wickson Creek Special Utility District). This means that development has access to public water that meets the standards of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality without requiring connection to the City’s utility system. • The Brazos County Health Department’s prerequisite for permitting septic systems is a minimum one-acre lot, whether there is public water available or a private well. • Property in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction is not subject to City ad valorem taxes. Therefore, residents and businesses outside the City limits benefit from access to municipal facilities and services, such as streets, parks, trails, libraries, and other community facilities, but do not share equitably in the tax burden associated with constructing and maintaining those facilities and services. • Land is generally less expensive outside the City limits due primarily to the absence of public infrastructure and improvements, which equates to cheaper development and, hence, lowers development costs. • There is an attraction to the open, rural landscape often found at the City’s fringe. • The City has granted several exceptions to its utility extension policy, providing sewer service to areas outside the City. This enabled development at suburban densities in areas that, under normal conditions, would be limited to a minimum lot size of one acre. As displayed in Figure 8.2, Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Platting Activity, a significant portion of the developable land in College Station’s current Extraterritorial Jurisdiction is already platted for development (in yellow) or otherwise planned for development by way of preliminary plats or master plans (in red). New and expanded fire stations are a very visible sign of the City’s desire to invest in public safety facilities, in appropriate locations, to ensure adequate service area coverage and responsiveness as the community grows in both population and geographic size. This condition makes it difficult for the City to be proactive in balancing utility and public service needs of the developed core community, undeveloped acreage within the City limits, and an extensive Extraterritorial Jurisdiction that should largely be its longer-term growth area. Implications of Sprawl While College Station’s growth pattern has created 8 - 6 College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity opportunities, without adequate foresight and preparation it may yield undesirable consequences, including: • Erosion of a defined community edge, thereby blurring its boundaries and contributing to a loss of community identity. This can be most readily seen along each of the entrances into the community where there is a proliferation of uses extending well beyond the City limits. • Degradation of environmental resources such as floodplains, wetlands, habitat, and vegetated areas. • Increased demands on public infrastructure (e.g., roads, water, and wastewater systems) and services (e.g., police and fire protection, parks, libraries, and schools), in some cases, creating unsafe conditions. • Premature shifts in traffic patterns, causing congestion and environmental impacts, as development occurs in an uncoordinated fashion before adequate transportation infrastructure is in place. FIGURE 8.2 Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Platting Activity SOURCE: City of College Station 8 - 7 College Station Comprehensive Plan Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 The desire to maintain rural character is made more challenging as urban and suburban development pressures spill into the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. This typically increases property values and associated tax burdens, may result in incompatible development in close proximity, and can lead to demands for upgraded roads, utilities, and public safety services. • Cumulative impacts on the natural environment due to urban stormwater runoff (increased drainage volumes and velocities) and non-point source pollution of area streams and watercourses from contaminants and sediments carried by overland drainage. • Inefficient provision of services, meaning a larger investment in infrastructure systems with fewer than the optimal number of connections/users to pay for them. • Increased commuting times as residents have to travel relatively longer distances to reach work, places of worship, shopping, services, schools, recreation, and entertainment destinations. • The potential for disinvestment in older areas of the community as new development continues to occur on the periphery. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Strategies There are an array of strategies for managing the pattern and timing of development in the ETJ, ranging from simply minimizing the impacts of growth without affecting the pattern to strictly controlling growth. Texas law does not provide cities with the means to entirely prevent sprawl, therefore, it is wise for College Station to consider the ways in which it can exert more influence over the direction and timing of development that it ultimately must serve. Given College Station’s past development pattern and projected growth trends, the City’s growth management approach, relative to the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, should focus on the following areas: • Use annexation in a strategic fashion. • Expand the City’s certificate of convenience and necessity as appropriate in concert with annexation activity. • Adhere to the City’s utility extension policy while working to enhance it. • Effectively utilize the City’s Municipal Utility District policy. • Expand the thoroughfare plan. • Expand the ETJ boundary from 3.5-miles to 5-miles. • Strengthen the health and safety components of the subdivision regulations. 8 - 8 College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity GROWTH CAPACITY This section provides an evaluation of the City’s municipal services, and future land use assumptions in terms of their ability to accommodate the population growth expected within the next 15 years. Infrastructure Water Water is a key factor in an area’s growth capacity and this is certainly the case for College Station. Basic water supply is a finite resource that requires sound stewardship to ensure its continued availability in support of a community’s growth and public health and welfare. College Station faces some potential challenges in the future regarding its capacity to provide water supply for projected growth. Based on population projections of roughly 150,000 persons at build-out of the city’s water service area, this amounts to an average daily demand of 21.4 million gallons. For comparison, the City’s average day water demand in 2014 was 13.3 million gallons. This increase in water demand will require major improvements in our water infrastructure, as well as continued emphasis on water conservation. A recent water master plan study conducted by Freese and Nichols, Inc. concluded that the City needs to build a third water tower and add three water wells to meet these future water demands. Once the three new wells are fully operational, they are projected to supply ov er 9,000 gallons per minute and will help the City meet future peak water demands. Depending on the density of future development and the effectiveness of our water conservation programs, the City should also look at possible alternative water supplies, which includes: (1) additional groundwater development, (2) Brazos River diversions, (3) direct potable re-use, (4) aquifer storage and recovery, (4) desalination, and (5) additional non-potable re-use projects. For continued success in water conservation, the City will reviews its inclined block water rate structure and commercial irrigation rates, to further encourage prudent landscape irrigation. Additionally, the City is in the planning phase for the second wastewater effluent reuse project, to complement the existing system that takes treated wastewater effluent from the Carters Creek treatment plant for irrigation at the Veteran’s Park and Athletic Complex. Wastewater The City’s two wastewater treatment plants have a combined capacity to treat 11.5 million gallons per day (MGD). The Carters Creek Plant accounts for 9.5 MGD, and the Lick Creek Plant provides the other 2.0 MGD, which primarily serves southern College Station. The community’s current average daily wastewater generation is in the 7 MGD range, and steadily increasing. As required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the City has commenced engineering design and financial planning to expand 8 - 9 College Station Comprehensive Plan Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 this treatment capacity, since it has reached 75% of permitted average daily flow for three consecutive months. The regulations further require a permittee to gain regulatory approval and begin construction to expand treatment facilities when a plant reaches 90% of permitted average daily flow for three consecutive months, which is expected to occur within the next ten years. Capital Plans are in place to stay ahead of these demands and regulations, and an updated wastewater master plan will be completed in 2016, by Freese and Nichols, Inc. The wastewater collection system is undergoing capacity expansion as well, with one major trunk line under construction and several others planned for construction within the next five years. As College Station continues growing to the south and west, major wastewater collection infrastructure, including lift stations, will be required. These are in the engineering planning phase, and will be discussed in the annual budget process for possible inclusion in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. Electricity College Station Utilities is the City’s primary electric provider. Bryan Texas Utilities also serves areas inside the city limits of College Station, being certified to provide electric service to all areas annexed since 2002. College Station Utilities currently serves more than 38,900 customers via seven electrical substations located in the City with a combined capacity of 474 million volt-amperes (MVA). These seven substations currently serve a peak demand of 208 MVA. Two additional substations are currently in planning and the next substation is scheduled to be operational in 2018, increasing College Station Utilities’ electrical capacity by 66 MVA. In general, the City appears to be in a good position to handle the additional electrical demands that forecasted growth would generate over the life of this Plan. Transportation The other major growth capacity challenge confronting College Station involves the congestion and safety issues resulting from increased traffic on area roadways. Stresses on portions of the transportation system are already occurring at peak times and will grow worse over time unless investments are made in additional road capacity and intersection upgrades. This stress is due, in part, to the limitation of major corridors and the traffic generated by the Texas A&M University campus. It is difficult for any community to build its way out of traffic congestion problems, certainly in the short term. With the financial burden for transportation improvements in Texas increasingly falling on local governments, College Station’s available resources will only stretch so far. Alternative transportation options, such as transit, biking, and walking will need to provide an increasing amount of relief. 8 - 10 College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity The City’s physical development pattern can have a significant impact on future transportation needs. Outward growth and development pressure tends to spread traffic issues to rural roadways that may not be constructed to handle the increased loads. The City can maximize the use of existing infrastructure by encouraging infill development in lieu of allowing future development to occur on the periphery. Also, a more compact development pattern, with increased density and mixing of uses in appropriate locations, would tend to slow the growth in total vehicle miles traveled by generating greater transit ridership and reducing the length of many routine trips. While transportation issues will continue to be a challenge, carefully planned growth, a thoroughfare system incorporating multi -modal transportation, and smart use of limited financial resources should place the City in a position to accommodate t he transportation needs of the additional population anticipated during the life of this Plan. As discussed in Chapter 6: Transportation, if the City develops in compliance with a modified version of the Programmed-Project Option, traffic congestion should be limited to a modest increase during the life of this plan. After 2030, it is likely that congestion will grow considerably worse unless there is an even greater focus on mixed use, density, transit, and greater investments in bike and pedestrian facilities. Following the Comprehensive Plan Five-Year Evaluation & Appraisal Report in 2014, the City retained Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to update Chapter 6: Transportation and the associated maps, as recommended, based on new information, traffic counts, and capacity data. Municipal Services Solid Waste The Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Agency (BVSWMA), Inc. is a non-profit local governmental corporation formed in 2010 under a joint agreement between the City of Bryan and the City of College Station. BVSWMA, Inc. owns and operates the Twin Oaks Landfill in Anderson, Texas and the Twin Oaks Compost Facility in Bryan, Texas. BVSWMA, Inc. also owns and maintains the closed Rock Prairie Road Landfill in College Station, Texas. Twin Oaks Landfill currently accepts about 1,100 tons of solid waste per day (or about 300,000 tons per year). Twin Oaks opened in 2011 with a design capacity of 27,750,000 tons. At the start of the 2016 fiscal year, the remaining capacity was 26,500,000 tons. Due to the City’s recycling efforts, residential waste stream diversion has averaged 20% over that last five years (Fiscal Year 2011 -2015) and commercial waste stream diversion has averaged 19% during the same time frame. The total waste steam diversion over the last five years averaged 19.5%. In terms of tonnage, the waste diverted from the landfill due to recycling is 25,904 tons for residential waste and 44,576 tons for College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 - 11 Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 commercial waste for a total of 70,480 tons over the last five fiscal years. These waste reduction efforts were achieved through recycling, large brush collection/composting, and the City’s commercial/multifamily franchise recycling program and should serve to extend the life of Twin Oaks Landfill. In terms of solid waste management, the Twin Oaks Landfill appears to be in a good position to handle the anticipated needs during the life of this Plan. Police College Station’s continued growth to the south is straining the Police Department’s ability to consistently meet the desired response time. One - way frontage roads and a general lack of connectivity in southern College Station make timely emergency responses difficult. Implementing and maintaining the interconnections designated on the Thoroughfare Plan should help alleviate this problem. As College Station continues to grow, the Police Department will need to continue to monitor growth trends and plan accordingly – especially in terms of satellite stations. As discussed in Chapter 7: Municipal Services and Community Facilities, it is anticipated that the Police Department will continue to add the necessary staff and facilities to serve the future population as projected by this Plan. Fire and Emergency Medical Services The College Station Fire Department currently operates six stations with plans underway for a seventh. The Fire Department’s call volume has increased an average annual rate of 6.24% since 2005. Assuming an annual increase of 3.14%, it is anticipated that the call volume over the next five years will increase to over 9,956 calls by 2020.College Station maintains a Fire Protection Master Plan that includes a schedule for additional personnel and facilities. The Master Plan calls for a total of 12 stations at the end of the 20-year planning horizon. For more information concerning the Fire Department’s services, facilities and future needs, please refer to Chapter 7: Municipal Services and Community Facilities. Overall, it is anticipated that the Fire Department will continue to add the necessary staff and facilities to serve the future population projected by this Plan. State law requires municipalities to compensate the Emerg ency Services District (ESD) for territories annexed within their district immediately upon annexation. The amount of compensation is equal to the annexed territory’s pro rata share of the ESD’s bonded and other indebtedness. This requirement should be considered when considering future annexations. Future Land Use Lastly, the growth management and capacity discussion would not be complete without an evaluation of the Future Land Use & Character map for the City. Displayed in Table 8.1, Residential Growth Capacity, are the8 College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 - 12 As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity growth indicators based upon build-out of the land uses as designated on the Future Land Use & Character map. It is projected that College Station will have a population of over 134,000 residents in 2030. The population as of December 2015 was estimated to be 106,465. An evaluation of residential projects currently under development and the land use scenario depicted TABLE 8.1 Residential Growth Capacity on Map 2.2, Future Land Use and Character, as amended in December 2015, shows that the City can accommodate an ultimate population of approximately 150,000. This estimate also includes the projected build -out population of Brazos County MUD No. 1. This represents a total population of about 16,000 more than the 2030 projection. While the uses depicted on the Future Land Use & Character map seem adequate to accommodate the growth forecasted over the next 15 years, it will be important to closely monitor growth trends moving forward. It will also be important to evaluate and react to market conditions and take any action required, including but not limited to annexation, to accommodate expected growth. ANNEXATION Background Through annexation, the City is able to extend its land development regulations – particularly zoning – which provides an essential growth management tool to implement the Comprehensive Plan. Annexation also extends the City’s ETJ, enabling it to reg ulate the subdivision of land over a larger area. However, Texas annexation statutes mandate stringent requirements for extending services to newly-annexed areas in a timely and adequate manner, which must be comparable to pre -existing services and service levels in similar incorporated areas. By statute, in any given year the City may annex a quantity of acreage that is equivalent to up to 10% of its current incorporated land area. If it does not annex all of the land that is allowed, the difference rolls over to the next year. The City can make two such rollovers, meaning it can annex up to 30% of its land area in a single year. Given the amount of territory already included within College Station’s corporate limits, the City has the ability to add significant acreage through annexation where desired and feasible. 8 - 13 Indicator Amount of Residents Notes Current Population 106,465 As of December 2015 Housing Currently Under Development 9,740 Based on 2.38 PPH* and 94% occupancy rate.

Brazos County MUD #1 3,165 Based on General Development Plan included in the Development Agreement with the City. College Station Comprehensive Plan Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 Recent State Action Annexation powers have routinely come under attack by the State Legislature. The most recent example was House Bill 2221, introduced in the 84th Legislature. The Bill, as proposed, would have required strict voter approval of an annexation area with more than 200 residents. The ability to unilaterally annex has been a key factor in the growth and continued vitality of the City and any attempt to limit annexation authority should be resisted. The flexibility to annex has enabled cities in Texas to expand as needed to accommodate growth and share in the benefits of the resulting growth. This annexation power is the primary difference between the flourishing cities of Texas and the declining urban areas in other parts of the country. Cities that are unable to annex and capture a share of the expanding tax base can eventually lead to the deterioration of the city core, which in turn accelerates flight to the outlying areas. Annexation Priorities Important considerations in prioritizing potential annexation areas include: • Whether the area is contiguous to existing developed areas within the current City limits, which contributes to orderly growth progression – and may also involve compatibility concerns if unzoned ETJ development is out of character with nearby in City areas. • Whether City utilities have already been extended into the area or are within close proximity and could readily and feasibly be extended as demands warrant – and whether the City prefers to be the service provider in particular areas experiencing development pressures. • Whether the area is still largely vacant or has already developed at a rural or suburban intensity – or is destined for such development through prior platting and land planning activity (depending on market timing and ultimate owner/developer intentions). • Whether any significant commercial development has already occurred – possibly in a haphazard, strip development fashion –which detracts from development quality and community appearance at gateway locations. • Whether the area is constrained for significant development by floodplain or other factors, and whether there is much development potential, in general, beyond a current rural residential pattern. • Whether current or future key transportation corridors traverse the area, making land use management along such corridors imperative to long- term traffic flow and safety. • Whether other strategic considerations come into play in areas that might not otherwise be attractive for near term annexation, such as areas 8 - 14 College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity along major corridors that serve as current or future gateways into the City, protection areas for key assets (e.g., water supply, airport), or areas that may also be attractive to other jurisdictions for potential annexation. • Whether the area is appraised for property tax purposes as land for Agricultural use, Wildlife Management use, or Timber Land. In such cases, the City must first offer the property owner a non-annexation agreement before moving forward with the annexation process. • Whether the State will continue to limit the City’s ability to annex. Should this trend continue, it may be in the City’s best interest to initiate annexation sooner rather than later. Displayed in Map 8.1, Potential Annexation Priorities & Phasing, are candidate annexation areas within the College Station ETJ. The map is color-coded to indicate areas currently under non -annexation Development Agreements, areas that can be annexed by amending the City’s Annexation Plan, and areas that could be annexed via the exempt process. Future Annexation Policy Following the adoption of the 5-year Evaluation and Appraisal Report, an Annexation Task Force was assembled to review the City’s annexation priorities and recommend amendments to this chapter. The Task Force was comprised of three City Council members and three Planning & Zoning Commissioners. The Task Force met for several months to evaluate the City’s annexation strategies and priorities and provided the following recommendations: • Move forward with an exempt annexation package. • Utilize Non-Annexation Development Agreements in a strategic manner to reserve undeveloped or underdeveloped areas for future growth. • Evaluate the costs and benefits of annexing areas currently under non - annexation development agreements on a case-by-case basis as they expire. • Renew the ETJ boundary agreement with City of Bryan. • Extend the City’s ETJ from 3.5 miles to 5 miles. • Consider amending the City’s Annexation Plan to include one or more three-year annexation areas. • Continue to monitor actions by the State Legislature to limit the City’s authority to unilaterally annex property. • Should the State continue to limit the City’s authority to unilaterally annex property, pursue strategies to minimize the impacts of such action. • Closely coordinate the City’s ETJ extension with Brazos /county, Burleson County, and Grimes County. Pursue interlocal agreements to address plat review for overlapping ETJ areas as appropriate.

SOURCE: City of College Station 8 - 16 College Station Comprehensive Plan As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity GOAL, STRATEGIES, AND ACTIONS The overall goal for College Station’s growth in the years ahead is to ensure fiscally responsible and carefully managed development aligned with growth expectations and in concert with the ability to deliver infrastructure and services in a safe, timely, and effective manner. The five strategies in this section elaborate on these themes and community priorities. Strategy 1: Identify land use needs based on projected population growth. • Strategic Land Use Planning. Delineate planned growth areas and protection areas by assigning appropriate character classifications (e.g., urban and suburban versus rural) for the planning horizon, through the Future Land Use & Character map in the Comprehensive Plan. • Holding Area Zoning. Ensure that the growth timing aspect of municipal zoning is employed effectively by establishing a direct link between character areas indicated on the Future Land Use & Character map and the development intensity permitted in these areas through the zoning map and Unified Development Ordinance provisions. • Zoning Integrity. Guard against zoning map amendments that, cumulatively, can lead to extensive residential development in growth areas without adequate land reserves for a balance of commercial, public, and recreational uses. • University Coordination. Coordinate with Texas A&M University and Blinn College concerning their projected enrollment growth and associated faculty/staff increases to plan effectively for the implications of further off campus housing demand. • Monitor Trends. In conjunction with periodic review of the Comprehensive Plan, identify market shifts that could have implications for desired housing types, retail or other commercial offerings, and particular public service and recreational needs. Strategy 2: Align public investments with the planned growth and development pattern. • Coordinated Planning. Ensure that the strategies and actions of this Comprehensive Plan carry through to the City’s master plans. The City master plan updates should include provisions that relate directly to the City’s Future Land Use & Character Plan (e.g., future utility master plans; Recreation, Park, and Open Space Master Plan; Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan). • Certificate of Convenience and Necessity Boundary Extensions . Extend the City’s service area for sanitary sewer (the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity boundary) into the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction in an incremental and carefully timed manner, in concert with annexation activity and defined growth management objectives. College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 -17 Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 • Strengthen the Water/Sanitary Sewer Extension Policy. Amend the water/sewer extension policy to require extensions to be consistent with the Future Land Use & Character Plan; the City’s ongoing growth area planning; and the City’s utility master plans and multi -year Capital Improvement Plan. • Oversize Participation. Establish criteria to evaluate the fiscal impact and cost effectiveness of proposed over-sizing commitments by the City. • Capital Improvements Programming. Expand municipal facilities consistent with growth expectations and to support the desired growth and development pattern. • Impact Fees. Extend water and wastewater impact fees into new , targeted growth areas in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. Also, consider establishing road impact fees within the City as authorized by Texas statute. • Traffic Impact Analysis for Single-Family Development. Protect road capacity and safety by strengthening requirements for Traffic Impact Analyses when proposed developments exceed a designated size or projected trip generation. Provisions for analysis and potential mitigation should be extended to significant single -family residential developments as requirements in the Unified Development Ordinance currently apply only to non-residential and multi-family projects. • Parkland Dedication. In follow-up to the City’s extension of parkland dedication requirements into the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, monitor the program parameters to ensure desired outcomes. • Interlocal Cooperation. Pursue interlocal cooperation agreements with Brazos, Grimes, and Burleson counties; City of Bryan; Texas A&M University; Blinn College; and other service providers, as appropriate. Such agreements can address coordination of subdivision review , thoroughfare planning, floodplain management, and utility and other service provision, among other matters of mutual interest. Strategy 3: Balance the availability of and desire for new development areas with redevelopment and infill opportunities. • Infrastructure Investments. Invest in the necessary infrastructure to increase redevelopment potential for areas identified in Chapter 2: Community Character. Concentrating property development within the City makes efficient use of infrastructure and supp orts the City’s Green College Station effort. • Holding Area Annexations. Use annexation to incorporate and appropriately zone areas to protect them from premature development. This strategy can also be employed in areas where the City wishes to maintain a rural character. • Growth Area Targeting . Coordinate zoning, capital improvement programming, and municipal services planning to prepare targeted College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 -18 As Amended 04-28-16 |Growth Management & Capacity growth areas as identified on the Concept Map in Chapter 2: Community Character. • Zoning in Support of Redevelopment. Together with other incentive measures, apply targeted zoning strategies to designated Redevelopment Areas identified on the Future Land Use & Character map. Options may include items such as reduced setbacks, waiver to height limitations, increased signage, increased density, reduced parking standards, and reduced impact fees. The City can also conduct City-initiated rezonings to incentivize the development of vacant or incorrectly zoned property. Strategy 4: Identify and implement growth management techniques for areas within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. • Intergovernmental Cooperation. Coordinate the City’s regulatory strategy for rural lot sizes with efforts by the Brazos County Health Department to increase the minimum required lot size for allowing on - site sewer treatment systems from one acre to a larger size, as needed, to address public health and safety concerns. • Pursue Development Balance. Consider the development of regulations and fees that help level the playing field between in-City and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction developmen t. Ensure that Extraterritorial Jurisdiction development contributes its fair share to the long-term costs of extending public infrastructure and services to fringe areas. • Growth Area Annexations. Pursue strategic annexations, if feasible from a fiscal and service provision standpoint, to extend the City’s land use regulations to Extraterritorial Jurisdiction areas facing immediate and near-term development pressures. This should also include areas where City utilities have already been extended. • Conservation Area Annexations. Pursue strategic annexations in areas not targeted for significant urban or suburban development in the near term. This enables the City to apply growth management measures to discourage premature and inappropriate development. • Voluntary Annexations. Utilize the utility extension policy as a means to encourage landowners to agree to annexation by way of voluntary petition to protect the City’s long-term interests in significant areas of the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, such as along key transportation corridors. • Non-Annexation Agreements. Target certain annexation efforts to areas where land owners maintain a TEXAS TAX CODE exemption on their property for agricultural use. In such cases, the City must offer the property owner an opportunity to enter into a non -annexation development agreement with the City in lieu of annexation. This strategy can be an effective way of assuring limited development on the property for up to 15 years. College Station Comprehensive Plan 8 -19 Growth Management & Capacity| As Amended 04-28-16 • Fiscal Impact Analysis. Continue to complete thorough cost benefit analyses to evaluate all proposed annexations. Explore available fiscal impact models that provide a more robust analysis. • Land Conservation. In support of the Green College Station Action Plan, protect natural resources by recruiting land trusts and conservation organizations to consider acquisition and preservation of targeted open areas. • Expand ETJ Boundaries. State law provides for ETJ boundaries ranging from ½ mile to 5 miles based on the number of City’s inhabitants. In January 2014, the City of College Station exceeded 100,000 inhabitants and became eligible to increase the current 3.5 mile ETJ boundary to 5 miles. The ETJ may be extended by City Council Resolution. • Renew ETJ Common Boundary Agreement. The current Common Boundary Agreement with the City of Bryan did not anticipated a five - mile ETJ for either City. Before the City expands its ETJ boundary, the ETJ common boundary agreement with the City of Bryan should be renewed. Strategy 5: Encourage and promote the redevelopment of land that is currently occupied by obsolete or non-functioning structures. • Redevelopment of Retail. Continue to emphasize redevelopment and revitalization opportunities for large retail sites such as Post Oak Mall and the vacant former grocery-anchored retail center along South College Avenue near University Drive. • Parking Management. Encourage residential, commercial and mixed development models in the City’s targeted Redevelopment Areas, as identified on the Future Land Use & Character map, that focus on integration of structured parking to enable more productive use of the overall site in place of extensive surface parking. • Zoning in Support of Redevelopment. Review the effectiveness of the Redevelopment District (RDD) overlay zoning. Specifically, determine whether the minimum 20-year age requirement for pre-existing development is appropriate or if the minimum age should be removed to support revitalizing all areas with high vacancy. Consider applying the RDD zoning to designated Redevelopment Areas identified on the Future Land Use & Character map to encourage market-responsive development to occur at intersections of arterials within the City limits where there are significant amounts of underutilized lands. • Density/Intensity Bonuses. Use the prospect of increased development yield (retail/office square footage and/or additional residential units in mixed-use developments) to entice redevelopment projects aiming for increased development intensity. 8 - 20 College Station Comprehensive Plan View.ashx %d×%d pixels https://collegestation.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=4397489&GUID=7D681E38-60B0-44FB-B3D2-DF923E53B1F0[4/22/2016 10:21:15 AM] City Hall 1101 Texas Ave College Station, TX 77840 College Station, TX Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:116-0235 Name:Corrections of the Amendments to the International Fire Codes Status:Type:Ordinance Agenda Ready File created:In control:4/15/2016 City Council Regular On agenda:Final action:4/28/2016 Title:Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance to adopt corrections to the 2015 International Fire Codes.
