Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Professional Services Contract (Contract No. 16300529) with Jones &
Carter, Inc. for $152,500 for the final design and construction phase services for the Lick Creek Generator Replacement
Project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the professional services contract.
Summary: The scope of this contract includes mapping, final design, geotechnical investigation services, bid phase
services, construction phase services, and construction materials testing. This project was originally combined with two
other projects and formed the Treatment Plant Major Equipment Replacement Project and a Preliminary Engineering
Report (PER) was completed. This contract is a follow on contract to finalize design and construct the replacement
generator with associated appurtenances for the Lick Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of this project is to
provide a new backup generator that will operate all process equipment at the Lick Creek Treatment Plant in case of an
emergency or power outage.
This project was separated from the Treatment Plant Major Equipment Replacement project due to immediate need of the
generator and recommendation from the PER.
Jones & Carter, Inc., was selected as the most highly qualified firm as part of RFQ# 15-023 for the Treatment Plant Major
Equipment Plant Project.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds in the amount of $796,000 are currently budgeted for this project in the Wastewater
Capital Improvement Projects Fund. However, based on the results of the PER, the estimate for the total cost of this design
and construction of this project has been revised to $1,375,000. This overage will be factored into the FY17 CIP and the
applicable forecasts.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of a construction contract 16300497
with Hahn Equipment Company in the amount of $149,049 for the replacement of the Lick Creek
Raw Lift Pumps and Variable Frequency Drives.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation:Staff recommends approval
Summary:The Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Raw Lift Pumps, along with their associated
Variable Frequency Drives, pump the raw sewage from the wastewater collection system into the
treatment plant. The existing pumps have exceeded their service life and become unreliable.
Additionally the VFDs are obsolete and repair parts are no longer available. These pumps and their
drives need to be replaced to ensure continuous and reliable treatment of the wastewater generated
in the southern part of College Station.
The pumps and their drives must be compatible and fit the existing facilities and have similar
performance characteristics to the existing pumps. Invitation to Bid #16085 requested quotes for a
vendor to provide and install the pumps and drives. Four vendors attended the mandatory pre bid
meeting and expressed interest. However, only two bids were received, with Hahn Equipment being
the low responsible, responsive bidder. Hahn Equipment has provided excellent service with their
equipment and we have had excellent service from equipment provided by Hahn, therefore staff
recommends this contract be approved.
Budget & Financial Summary:Budget for this replacement is included in the Wastewater Capital
Improvement Projects Fund.
Legal Review:Yes.

Summary:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject property is
located just south of College Station’s City limit boundary in an area annexed within the last 14
years. In 2014, the Williams Creek Lake Estates portion of subject property was rezoned from R
Rural to E Estate. The property was partially included in the approved Preliminary Plan for William
Creek Lake Estate, a low-density, cluster residential development. Due to the rural character and
limited services provided to the area there have not been any proposed changes recommended
College Station, TX Printed on 8/5/2016Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0477,Version:1
thus far. Since the Comprehensive Plan, the Medical District Plan refined land uses further down
on the west side of Rock Prairie Road and along State Highway 6 South. Outside the vicinity west
of Rock Prairie Road and William D. Fitch Parkway, the only amendment near the subject area is
west along Rock Prairie Road from Estate to Restricted Suburban and Suburban Commercial
near the intersection of Bird Pond Road and Rock Prairie. The remainder of the area north of
Rock Prairie is rural in character.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designation for approximately 16 acres from Estate and Suburban
Commercial to Restricted Suburban. This amendment will allow for a future residential
subdivision with medium density single-family housing (minimum 6,500 square-foot lots; average
10,000 square-feet or 8,000 square feet when clustered) along an existing rural section road
proposed as a future 4-lane Minor Arterial, in an area with a prevailing rural character. The
proposed land use designation is more intense than the current surrounding land use and the
proposed land uses for the area. Under the existing Estate land use designation, future residential
development would be characterized as low density with homes dispersed in minimum one acre
lots. This would allow a gross density of one unit per acre as opposed to the requested change to
Restricted Suburban which would allow a gross density of four units per acre, effectively
increasing the density in an area that is anticipated to be largely rural or low density residential.
3.Availability of adequate information:A Restricted Suburban designation allows for future
development of a medium-density single-family residential subdivision. The subject property is
within the College Station water CCN along Rock Prairie Road (approximately 250 feet depth)
and transitions to the Wellborn Special Utility District CCN. Wellborn Special Utility District has
indicated an ability to serve domestic water service to the proposed subdivision within their CCN,
but additional infrastructure improvements will be needed with further site development to meet
minimum fire flow requirements. Properties within College Station’s CCN will be served by a water
main across Rock Prairie Road.
This property is located within the City of College Station’s sewer CCN. There is an existing lift
station and 12-inch sewer main along William D. Fitch. This main and lift station currently has the
capacity to serve the proposed development.
There are existing Police Department Service concerns for this area. Additional density will likely
further diminish the Police Department’s effectiveness and reduce service levels. Additional staff
may be needed as growth occurs in this area.
4.Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:The goal for College
Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community with strong, unique
neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct corridors, and a protected and
enhanced natural environment.
The subject property and surrounding area to the north and west are identified in the
Comprehensive Plan as part of Growth Area III. Due to the service limitations and prevailing rural
character, the Growth Area suggests that it remain rural in character and be developed at a low
intensity.
The proposed amendment essentially creates a bubble of medium-density single-family housing
that is much higher than the current and expected density and character of the area. Further
College Station, TX Printed on 8/5/2016Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0477,Version:1
amendments in this area are discouraged due to a limited future street network and utility
constraints in this area as well as to retain the prevailing rural character.
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:The
existing Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is Estate and Suburban
Commercial. Estate is a designation for areas that should have a low level of development
activities. This land use is typically characterized by large single-family lots acting as a transitional
use between medium density Restricted Suburban and low density Rural lands uses.
Generally, land to the north of Rock Prairie Road is planned for agricultural and lower intensity
residential uses. Due to the location of the property, being at the edge of the city limits, near
Carter’s Creek and the existing rural residential development in the area, there is little
thoroughfare infrastructure planned in this area, limiting overall thoroughfare capacity.
The applicant has requested an amendment to Restricted Suburban. Restricted Suburban is a
designation for areas that should have a medium-density single-family development with
minimum 6,500 square foot lots that overall average of 10,000 square feet or 8,000 when
clustered around open space. The adjacent properties are designated Estate and Natural Areas
Protected and properties to the south across Rock Prairie Road is designated as Institutional. The
property is located along an existing rural section street that is reflective of the existing character
and thoroughfare capacity of the area.
Rock Prairie Road is designated as a 4-lane Minor Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan Map
and is proposed to maintain its current alignment. The roadway is currently built to a 2-lane rural
section.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The adjacent land uses are large lot single-
family and rural tracts varying in sizes from 2 to 70 acres (overall future density of 0.33 to 1
dwelling units per acre) and planned neighborhood commercial on the corner of William D. Fitch
and Rock Prairie Road. This property is partially included in the approved Preliminary Plan for
Williams Creek Lake Estate which is a large lot single-family cluster development with an overall
density of 1 unit per acre. The property to the south of Rock Prairie Road is College Station ISD
Transportation Center and the former landfill. The majority of the area east of Rock Prairie is
unplatted with the exception of Williams Creek Subdivision, located along Rock Prairie and across
William D. Fitch Parkway, a seventy-acre Estate-density subdivision. A Restricted Suburban
development will provide different character than these existing developments east of Rock
Prairie Road.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: Water service will be served by Wellborn SUD and City of College
Station. The City of College Station’s CCN is along the front of Rock Prairie Road. On the
subject’s tract, the City of College Station’s CCN ends and transitions to Wellborn SUD.
Subject tract is proposing to sewer the subject tract through Williams Creek Lake Subdivision that
ultimately drains towards the existing lift station on William D. Fitch. Public infrastructure will be
required to be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design
Guidelines. Existing Infrastructure appears to currently have capacity to adequately serve the
proposed use.
College Station, TX Printed on 8/5/2016Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0477,Version:1
The site is in the Lick Creek drainage basin and generally drains towards Rock Prairie Road.
With site development, detention will be required. Drainage improvements are required to be
designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines,
and site development impacts on the drainage system will be evaluated further at that time.
The subject tract would have access to Rock Prairie Road which is designated as a 4-lane Minor
Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:The subject
property and surrounding area are not within the Fire Department’s desired 4.5 minute response
time, a performance indicator that can have bearing on the City’s ISO rating.
Existing Police service is a concern in this area. Additional density will likely further diminish the
Police Department’s effectiveness and reduce service levels.
9.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:This area is not recognized as
environmentally sensitive.
10.Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in
the Plan’s vision and goals:The goal for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to
create a community with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts,
distinct corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The proposed amendment
from Estate and Suburban Commercial to Restricted Suburban on just 16 acres does limit the
general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment is proposing a density and level of
service to an area that currently does not have the capacity for given the current conditions.
Additionally, a proposal to increase density in this area was considered by the City Council last
December as part of the Comprehensive Plan 5-year update. Given the prevailing rural character
north of Rock Prairie Road and the limited infrastructure (specifically water, sewer, and
thoroughfares), the City Council decided not to increase the density. Conditions in this area have
not changed since that time.

4. General nature of College Station Comprehensive Plan. The College Station Comprehensive
Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan,
Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Water System Master Plan and any additions,
amendments, master plans and subcategories thereto depict same in generalized terms
including future locations; and are subject to modifications by the City to fit local conditions,
budget constraints, cost participation, and right-of-way availability that warrant further
refinement as development occurs. Linear routes such as bikeways, greenways, thoroughfares,
pedestrian ways, waterlines and sewer lines that are a part of the College Station
Comprehensive Plan may be relocated by the City 1,000 feet from the locations shown in the
Plan without being considered an amendment thereto.
5. 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.”

Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider this item at their August 4,
2016 meeting. Their recommendation will be provided at the City Council meeting. Staff recommends
approval.
Summary:The proposed amendment removes the single-family residential development exemption
from the current Traffic Impact Analysis requirements by requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis to be
included with a preliminary plan application where applicable.The current ordinance requires a
Traffic Impact Analysis to be submitted with zoning and/or site plan applications.Since site plans are
not submitted for single-family residential developments,the ordinance amendment also includes a
Traffic Impact Analysis requirement with preliminary plan applications.
“Traffic Impact Analysis”is the section of the General Development Standards that requires any
development generating 150 or more vehicle trips in any peak hour to provide a Traffic Impact

development generating 150 or more vehicle trips in any peak hour to provide a Traffic Impact
Analysis to determine the impacts to the transportation system and propose mitigation for any
facilities falling below an acceptable level of service.The ordinance was originally adopted in 2008.
The original ordinance provided an exemption for Northgate zoning districts and single-family zoning
districts.In 2009,the Comprehensive Plan was adopted which called for the requirement for Traffic
Impact Analysis to be extended to single family developments.As part of the Five-Year
Comprehensive Plan Evaluation &Appraisal Report,the recommendation was made to require
Traffic Impact Analysis for single family residential development.
Staff hosted two public meetings in March to discuss proposed changes and to solicit input.Staff
received several comments and questions regarding the proposed changes and presented the
comments to the Council Transportation and Mobility Committee for guidance on developing the
ordinance amendment.

Page 3
Sec. 12-7.13. - Traffic Impact Analyses.
This section establishes requirements and procedures pertaining to traffic impact analyses ("TIAs"). This
Article is intended to inform the applicant of the City's expectations to ensure safe and adequate access to
development properties; adequate traffic flow on existing and proposed/planned roadways; and sufficient
connectivity of the existing and proposed/planned roadway system attributable to their proposal. In addition
this Article is intended to expedite the City's review of TIA reports, provide stand ard criteria for evaluating
proposals, and identify some potential mitigation measures.
The TIA is intended to form the basis for design of any proposed access/roadway system to ensure
coordination of the proposed land use with the transportation needs resulting there from. The City of College
Station and the developer share responsibility to identify and solve transportation issues arising from land
development.
College Station requires that TIAs accompany certain zoning applications , and certain site plan
applications, and certain preliminary plan applications. It is intended that any TIA required for any type of
land development proposal will complement the overall goal of ensuring that adequate transportation
facilities are in place to serve land uses by the time those uses are occupied and generating traffic. These
purposes are further amplified below.
A. Purpose.
1. Zoning TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a zoning request is to determine the effect
that uses allowed within various proposed zones will have on existing and/or any
proposed/planned roadway systems, and to ensure there is a balance between future land
uses and future transportation systems. Zoning applications that are required to have a TIA
are evaluated using both current and long-term traffic and roadway scenarios.
The TIA will determine whether acceptable levels of service will be maintained for traffic flow
within the proposed project and in its study area. Where service levels fall below acceptable
standards, mitigation solutions will be analyzed for their effectiveness. A TIA for a zoning
request should not recommend mitigation measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or
roadway provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive
Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council shall consider the findings of the TIA in approving or disapproving zoning changes
to the extent allowed by law.
2. Preliminary Plan TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a preliminary plan is twofold: to assess the
adequacy and safety of proposed access to adjacent existing or planned roadways (or
designs proposed for such access or roadways); and to determine effects the proposed
project may have on current and future land development and roadway systems in its study
area. Generally, the TIA uses current and anticipated near-term traffic volumes and roadway
configurations for the analysis. The process should ensure that the roadway system is, or
will be, adequate to accommodate the proposed use and that safe and adequate access will
be provided for travel between the site and the public roadway system.
Page 4
Where the TIA shows levels of service falling below acceptable minimums on roadway
systems in its study area the TIA will recommend appropriate mitigation measures and
demonstrate their effectiveness. Example mitigation techniques may include
adding/lengthening deceleration/turn lanes, improving driveway access, providing
connectivity, and modifying traffic control devices. Combinations of these techniques and
other techniques can be considered. A TIA for a preliminary plan should not recommend
mitigation measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or roadway provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the findings of the TIA in approving or
disapproving preliminary plans to the extent allowed by law.
23. Site Plan TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a site plan is twofold: to assess the adequacy
and safety of proposed access to adjacent existing or planned roadways (or designs
proposed for such access or roadways); and to determine effects the site project may h ave
on current and future land development and roadway systems in its study area. Generally,
the TIA uses current and anticipated near-term traffic volumes and roadway configurations
for the analysis. The process should ensure that the roadway system is, or will be, adequate
to accommodate the proposed use and that safe and adequate access will be provided for
travel between the site and the public roadway system.
Where the TIA shows levels of service falling below acceptable minimums on roadway
systems in its study area the TIA will recommend appropriate mitigation measures and
demonstrate their effectiveness. Example mitigation techniques may include
adding/lengthening deceleration/turn lanes, improving driveway access, providing
connectivity, and modifying traffic control devices. Combinations of these techniques and
other techniques can be considered. A TIA for a site plan should not recommend mitigation
measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or roadway provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the findings of the TIA in approving or
disapproving site plans to the extent allowed by law.
B. Definitions.
1. Trip Generation Rates.
Trip Generation Rates are used to estimate the amount of vehicular traffic generated by
proposed rezoning or a proposed site plan. For Zoning and Preliminary Plan TIAs, these
rates are shown by zoning district in the table below. Preliminary Plan trip generation rates
should be based on the underlying zoning district. Site plan TIAs shall use rates set forth in
the latest edition of the Trip Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE), unless said Report does not adequately address the type or intensity of the
proposed land use. In this event the applicant or his agent shall submit projected vehicle
trips to the Administrator. For land uses adequately represented in said Report, alternate trip
generation rates shall not be accepted.

population, employment, and transportation facilities are based. All TIAs shall use a design
year based on the expected date of project occupancy, and shall include conside ration of
Page 7
nearby development that has been approved and will contribute traffic volume to the
proposed project's study area.
3. Peak Periods.
Peak periods relate to times of day experiencing the greatest hourly traffic flow rates. Two
(2) "peaks" are to be addressed by a TIA: The morning and afternoon peak hours (or
projected peak hours) of existing (or planned) roadways serving the proposed land
development. Typically roadway peak periods are between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and between
4:00 and 6:00 p.m.
4. Base Volumes.
Base volumes shall be based on current traffic counts adjusted to the expected date of
project occupancy plus volumes generated by nearby future development (all phases) that
has been approved by the City. When available, base data will be s upplied by the City Traffic
Engineer. In all cases where traffic counts are needed and are not available, the developer
or his agent shall be required to collect such data according to guidelines approved by the
Administrator.
5. Level of Service (LOS).
Level of Service is a measure of the extent of congestion experienced on roadways. It is
measured through analysis of traffic operating conditions on roadway links and at
intersections, using techniques presented in the latest edition of the Transportation Research
Board's Highway Capacity Manual.
C. Applicability.
1. Zoning TIA.
Any zoning request, except for certain "redevelopment" areas, requests for R, WE, E, WRS,
GS, R-1B, D, or T zoning classifications which is expected to generate at least one hundred
fifty (150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period requires a TIA. Where the
Comprehensive Plan designates a property as "Redevelopment" a TIA is required if the
zoning request is expected to generate at least one hundred fifty (150) vehicle trips during
any peak hour period more than those generated by the currently approved use(s) on the
property. A zoning request involving multiple zoning districts is required to have a TIA based
on the total traffic generated for all the proposed districts. A TIA may be required for a zoning
request that generates less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in the peak hour, where the
peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the transportation system as
determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that a TIA is not necessary for the proposed rezoning request. In cases where
a TIA is required, the rezoning application will be considered incomplete until the TIA is
submitted
2. Preliminary Plan TIA.
Any proposed development requiring preliminary plan approval, which is expected to
generate at least one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period requires a TIA. A T IA
may be required for preliminary plans that generate less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in
any peak hour period where the peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on
the area's vehicular transportation system as determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that a TIA is not necessary for the proposed project. In cases where a TIA is
required, the preliminary plan application must be accompanied by the TIA
Page 8
23. Site Plan TIA.
Any proposed development requiring site plan approval, excluding developments located in
the zoning classifications of NG-1, NG-2, or NG-3, which is expected to generate at least
one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period requires a TIA. A TIA may be required
for site plans that generate less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period
where the peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the area's vehicular
transportation system as determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that a TIA is not necessary for the proposed site project. In cases where a TIA
is required, the site plan application must be accompanied by the TIA.
D. Methodology.
1. Professional Engineer to perform TIA.
All required TIAs shall be performed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Texas
qualified to perform such analyses. Qualifications may include, but are not li mited to,
certification as a Professional Traffic Operations Engineer or Professional Transportation
Planner by the Institute of Transportation Engineers or certification by the Texas Department
of Transportation to conduct traffic engineering studies.
2. Pre-Submittal Meeting.
A pre-submission consultation with the Administrator is required at the time of the Pre -
Application Conference to discuss whether a TIA is required and, if so, the relevant aspects
thereof. The study area will be defined to include nearby land developments (existing or
approved), the street network to be examined (the "study network"), and the minimum extent
of analysis. In addition, details of the procedures, assumptions, data collection, and analysis
methodology(ies) will be determined at this meeting. Traffic from other nearby developments
that have been approved but not yet constructed will be accounted for in the TIA as
determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may require other specific assumptions
such as the percent of trucks to match local conditions. The City may require analyses of
peak fifteen (15) minute intervals for certain types of land uses that generate major traffic
surges such as, but not limited to, stadiums, movie theaters, arenas, and schools.
3. Zoning TIA Content.
a. Study Area.
A map(s) will delineate the TIA study area, including land areas to be considered and
all existing/planned streets therein, and the "study network" (those streets and
intersections requiring specific analyses). The study area shall be determined based on
the geographical area most affected by the proposed zoning request as determined by
the Administrator after conferring with the applicant's traffic engineer.
b. Existing Zoning.

traffic volumes on the study network within the study area.
Page 9
e. Impact Determination.
An assessment of projected traffic volumes is to be made for all study network
roadways, comparing those with allo wable volume limits on roadways classed as
collector and local, and providing a description of the volume/capacity (V/C) ratio for all
roadways in the study network. In addition delay projections for signalized and
unsignalized intersections in the study network will be determined. Where V/C ratios
and intersection delay are the measures of effectiveness Level of Service D or better
must be maintained. The analysis shall contain the following minimum information:
1. Proposed Trip Generation.
Show in tabular form trip generation rates (see Table 1, 2, or 3 as applicable) and
the total trips generated based on proposed zoning.

the total trips generated based on existing zoning.
3. Net Increased Trip Distribution and Assignment.
Show proposed trip generation minus existing trips and the calculation of new trips
generated. The net increase in trips generated by the zoning request is to be added
to the base volumes projected by design year. Twenty-four-hour and peak hour
volumes must be calculated. Distribution and assignment calculations must be
provided.

and intersection.
5. Neighborhood Traffic Analysis.
If a proposed rezoning is projected to increase the traffic on an existing or
proposed/planned minor collector or local residential roadway (street) at least ten
(10) percent, a neighborhood traffic analysis shall be performed. This analysis will
include an evaluation of existing and projected traffic on the affected roadways.
Where the projected traffic exceeds the limits indicated in the BCS Design
Guidelines, street network layout must be adjusted to lower this traffic volume.
6. Conclusions.
Summarize points of conflict and congestion, identify all thoroughfare links and
intersections not achieving Level of Service D or better, and the percentage
change resulting from the proposed zoning change. The results o f examining
collector and local residential roadways, including the findings of any neighborhood
traffic analysis must also be summarized.
f. Mitigation.
A description of the mitigation measures proposed for achieving acceptable service
thresholds shall be shown. Analysis of the study network as adjusted by the proposed
measures must be documented. Traffic produced by the proposed zoning request plus
traffic levels projected by the time of project occupancy should result in Level of Service
D or better. Locations not meeting Level of Service D where the proposed zoning
contributes five (5) percent or more of the peak hour traffic must be mitigated by the
Page 10
applicant. Acceptable methods of mitigating negative traffic impacts include any one
(1), or a combination of, the measures listed below but is not limited to those listed.
1) Modifying the zoning request so that resulting traffic volumes yield Level of Service
D or better throughout the study network.
2) Modify any street network proposed as part of the development project in terms of

using special directional median openings, or using special features to facilitate
safe U-turn maneuvers.
Amendments to the City's Thoroughfare Plan shall not be accepted as a means of
mitigating negative impacts, unless the proposed amendment(s) can be shown to
enhance capacity and safety and will be constructed as part of the proposed land
development project.
g. Planning and Zoning Commission Report.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a report to the City Council on all
TIAs it considers in conjunction with requests for rezoning. The Planning and Zoning
Commission may make a recommendation for approval, modification, or denial of the
zoning case based on other planning factors in addition to its review of the TIA.
Where the identified impacts of the proposed zoning cannot be adequately mitigated,
the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend to the City Council one (1) or
more of the following actions:

EXHIBIT “B”
That Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 7 “General Development
Standards” Section 12-7.13 “Traffic Impact Analysis” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
College Station, Texas, is amended to read as follows:
“Sec. 12-7.13. Traffic Impact Analysis.
This section establishes requirements and procedures pertaining to traffic impact analysis ("TIAs"). This Article is
intended to inform the applicant of the City's expectations to ensure safe and adequate access to development
properties; adequate traffic flow on existing and proposed/planned roadways; and sufficient connectivity of the
existing and proposed/planned roadway system attributable to their proposal. In addition this Article is intended to
expedite the City's review of TIA reports, provide standard criteria for evaluating proposa ls, and identify some
potential mitigation measures.
The TIA is intended to form the basis for design of any proposed access/roadway system to ensure coordination of the
proposed land use with the transportation needs resulting there from. The City of Col lege Station and the developer
share responsibility to identify and solve transportation issues arising from land development.
College Station requires that TIAs accompany certain zoning applications, certain site plan applications, and certain
preliminary plan applications. It is intended that any TIA required for any type of land development proposal will
complement the overall goal of ensuring that adequate transportation facilities are in place to serve land uses by the
time those uses are occupied and generating traffic. These purposes are further amplified below.
A. Purpose.
1. Zoning TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a zoning request is to determine the effect that uses
allowed within various proposed zones will have on existing and/or any proposed/planned roadway
systems, and to ensure there is a balance between future land uses and future transportation systems.
Zoning applications that are required to have a TIA are evaluated using both current and long -term
traffic and roadway scenarios.
The TIA will determine whether acceptable levels of service will be maintained for traffic flow within
the proposed project and in its study area. Where service levels fall below acceptable standards,
mitigation solutions will be analyzed for their effectiveness. A TIA for a zoning request should not
recommend mitigation measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or roadway provisions of the
Unified Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council shall consider the findings of the TIA i n
approving or disapproving zoning changes to the extent allowed by law.
2. Preliminary Plan TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a preliminary plan is twofold: to assess the adequacy
and safety of proposed access to adjacent existing or planned roadways (or designs proposed for such
access or roadways); and to determine effects the proposed project may have on current and future
land development and roadway systems in its study area. Generally, the TIA uses current and
anticipated near-term traffic volumes and roadway configurations for the analysis. The process should
ensure that the roadway system is, or will be, adequate to accommodate the proposed use and that safe
and adequate access will be provided for travel between the site and the public roadway system.
Where the TIA shows levels of service falling below acceptable minimums on roadway systems in its
study area the TIA will recommend appropriate mitigation measures and demonstrate their
effectiveness. Example mitigation techniques may include adding/lengthening deceleration/turn
lanes, improving driveway access, providing connectivity, and modifying traffic control devices.
Ordinance No. ________ Page 6 of 16
0e370361-9bf0-4f65-a1e7-8d9ea50e6bfd.docx
Combinations of these techniques and other techniques can be considered. A TIA for a preliminary
plan should not recommend mitigation measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or roadway
provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the
Thoroughfare Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the findings of the TIA in
approving or disapproving preliminary plans to the extent allowed by law.
3. Site Plan TIA.
The goal of a TIA submitted in conjunction with a site plan is twofold: to assess the adequacy and
safety of proposed access to adjacent existing or planned roadways (or designs proposed for such
access or roadways); and to determine effects the site project may have on current and future land
development and roadway systems in its study area. Generally, the TIA uses current and anticipated
near-term traffic volumes and roadway configurations for the analysis. The process should ensure that
the roadway system is, or will be, adequate to accommodate the proposed use and that safe and
adequate access will be provided for travel between the site and the public roadway system.
Where the TIA shows levels of service falling below acceptable minimums on roadway systems in its
study area the TIA will recommend appropriate mitigation measures and demonstrate their
effectiveness. Example mitigation techniques may include adding/lengthening deceleration/turn
lanes, improving driveway access, providing connectivity, and modifying traffic control devices.
Combinations of these techniques and other techniques can be considered. A TIA for a site plan should
not recommend mitigation measures that are inconsistent with any traffic or roadway provisions of
the Unified Development Ordinance or the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare
Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the findings of the TIA in approving or
disapproving site plans to the extent allowed by law.
B. Definitions.
1. Trip Generation Rates.
Trip Generation Rates are used to estimate the amount of vehicular traffic generated by proposed
rezoning or a proposed site plan. For Zoning and Preliminary Plan TIAs, these rates are shown by
zoning district in the table below. Preliminary Plan trip generation rates should be based on the
underlying zoning district. Site plan TIAs shall use rates set forth in the latest edition o f the Trip
Generation Report published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), unless said Report
does not adequately address the type or intensity of the proposed land use. In this event the applicant
or his agent shall submit projected vehicle trips to the Administrator. For land uses adequately
represented in said Report, alternate trip generation rates shall not be accepted.

2. Design Year.
The design year is the point in time upon which assumptions pertaining to land use, population,
employment, and transportation facilities are based. All TIAs shall use a design year based on the
expected date of project occupancy, and shall include consideration of nearby development that has
been approved and will contribute traffic volume to the proposed project's study area.
3. Peak Periods.
Peak periods relate to times of day experiencing the greatest hourly traffic flow rates. Two (2) "peaks"
are to be addressed by a TIA: The morning and afternoon peak hours (or projected peak hours) of
existing (or planned) roadways serving the proposed land development. Typically roadway peak
periods are between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.
4. Base Volumes.
Base volumes shall be based on current traffic counts adjusted to the expected date of project
occupancy plus volumes generated by nearby future development (all phases) that has been approved
by the City. When available, base data will be supplied by the City Traffic Engineer. In all cases where
traffic counts are needed and are not available, the developer or his agent shall be required to collect
such data according to guidelines approved by the Administrator.
5. Level of Service (LOS).
Level of Service is a measure of the extent of congestion experienced on roadways. It is measured
through analysis of traffic operating conditions on roadway links and at intersections, using techniques
presented in the latest edition of the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual.
Ordinance No. ________ Page 9 of 16
0e370361-9bf0-4f65-a1e7-8d9ea50e6bfd.docx
C. Applicability.
1. Zoning TIA.
Any zoning request, except for certain "redevelopment" areas as designated on the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, which is expected to generate at least one hundred fifty
(150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period requires a TIA. Where the Comprehensive Plan
designates a property as "Redevelopment" a TIA is required if the zoning request is expected to
generate at least one hundred fifty (150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period more than those
generated by the currently approved use(s) on the property. A zoning request involving multiple
zoning districts is required to have a TIA based on the total traffic generated for all the proposed
districts. A TIA may be required for a zoning request that generates less than one hundred fifty (150)
trips in the peak hour, where the peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the
transportation system as determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Administrator that
a TIA is not necessary for the proposed rezoning request. In cases where a TIA is required, the
rezoning application will be considered incomplete until the TIA is submitted
2. Preliminary Plan TIA.
Any proposed development requiring preliminary plan approval, which is expected to generate at least
one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period requires a TIA. A TIA may be required for
preliminary plans that generate less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period where
the peaking characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the area's vehicular transportation
system as determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Administrator that
a TIA is not necessary for the proposed project. In cases where a TIA is required, the preliminary plan
application must be accompanied by the TIA
3. Site Plan TIA.
Any proposed development requiring site plan approval, excluding developments located in the
zoning classifications of NG-1, NG-2, or NG-3, which is expected to generate at least one hundred
fifty (150) trips in any peak hour pe riod requires a TIA. A TIA may be required for site plans that
generate less than one hundred fifty (150) trips in any peak hour period where the peaking
characteristics could have a detrimental impact on the area's vehicular transportation system as
determined by the Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Administrator that
a TIA is not necessary for the proposed site project. In cases where a TIA is required, the site plan
application must be accompanied by the TIA.
D. Methodology.
1. Professional Engineer to perform TIA.
All required TIAs shall be performed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Texas
qualified to perform such analysis. Qualifications may include, but are not limited to, certification as
a Professional Traffic Operations Engineer or Professional Transportation Planner by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers or certification by the Texas Department of Transportation to conduct traffic
engineering studies.
2. Pre-Submittal Meeting.
A pre-submission consultation with the Administrator is required at the time of the Pre -Application
Conference to discuss whether a TIA is required and, if so, the relevant aspects thereof. The study
area will be defined to include nearby land developments (existing or approved), the street network
to be examined (the "study network"), and the minimum extent of analysis. In addition, details of the
procedures, assumptions, data collection, and analysis methodology(ies) will be deter mined at this
Ordinance No. ________ Page 10 of 16
0e370361-9bf0-4f65-a1e7-8d9ea50e6bfd.docx
meeting. Traffic from other nearby developments that have been approved but not yet constructed
will be accounted for in the TIA as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may require
other specific assumptions such as the percent of trucks to match local conditions. The City may
require analysis of peak fifteen (15) minute intervals for certain types of land uses that generate major
traffic surges such as, but not limited to, stadiums, movie theaters, arenas, and schools.
3. Zoning TIA Content.
a. Study Area.
A map(s) will delineate the TIA study area, including land areas to be considered and all
existing/planned streets therein, and the "study network" (those streets and intersections
requiring specific analysis). The study area shall be determined based on the geographical area
most affected by the proposed zoning request as determined by the Administrator after
conferring with the applicant's traffic engineer.
b. Existing Zoning.

volumes on the study network within the study area.
e. Impact Determination.
An assessment of projected traffic volumes is to be made for all study network roa dways,
comparing those with allowable volume limits on roadways classed as collector and local, and
providing a description of the volume/capacity (V/C) ratio for all roadways in the study network.
In addition delay projections for signalized and unsignalized intersections in the study network
will be determined. Where V/C ratios and intersection delay are the measures of effectiveness
Level of Service D or better must be maintained. The analysis shall contain the following
minimum information:
1. Proposed Trip Generation.
Show in tabular form trip generation rates (see Table 1, 2, or 3 as applicable) and the total
trips generated based on proposed zoning.

trips generated based on existing zoning.
3. Net Increased Trip Distribution and Assignment.
Show proposed trip generation minus existing trips and the calculation of new trips
generated. The net increase in trips generated by the zoning request is to be added to the
base volumes projected by design year. Twenty-four-hour and peak hour volumes must be
calculated. Distribution and assignment calculations must be provided.
4. Level of Service Analysis.
Show in tabular form peak hour Level of Service for existing and proposed zoning.
Calculations shall include all thoroughfare links and intersections. Calculate level of
service and percentage change (when compared to base volumes) for each link and
intersection.

0e370361-9bf0-4f65-a1e7-8d9ea50e6bfd.docx
5. Neighborhood Traffic Analysis.
If a proposed rezoning is projected to increase the traffic on an existing or
proposed/planned minor collector or local residential roadway (street) at least ten (10)
percent, a neighborhood traffic analysis shall be performed. This analysis will include an
evaluation of existing and projected traffic on the affected roadways. Where the projected
traffic exceeds the limits indicated in the BCS Design Guidelines, street network layout
must be adjusted to lower this traffic volume.
6. Conclusions.
Summarize points of conflict and congestion, identify all thoroughfare links and
intersections not achieving Level of Service D or better, and the percentage change
resulting from the proposed zoning change. The results of examining collector and loc al
residential roadways, including the findings of any neighborhood traffic analysis must also
be summarized.
f. Mitigation.
A description of the mitigation measures proposed for achieving acceptable service thresholds
shall be shown. Analysis of the study network as adjusted by the proposed measures must be
documented. Traffic produced by the proposed zoning request plus traffic levels projected by
the time of project occupancy should result in Level of Service D or better. Locations not
meeting Level of Service D where the proposed zoning contributes five (5) percent or more of
the peak hour traffic must be mitigated by the applicant. Acceptable methods of mitigating
negative traffic impacts include any one (1), or a combination of, the measures listed b elow but
is not limited to those listed.
1) Modifying the zoning request so that resulting traffic volumes yield Level of Service D or
better throughout the study network.
2) Modify any street network proposed as part of the development project in terms of size,
layout, connectivity, intersection layouts, or location of termini with thoroughfares, or any
combination of such changes.
3) Limit development densities/intensities within one (1) or more zoning classifications or
land parcels to result in acceptable traffic volumes.
4) Making minor thoroughfare or intersection improvements, such as adding/extending or
relocating turn lanes, adding/extending acceleration and/or deceleration lanes, adding non -
traversable medians, relocating median openings, using special directional median
openings, or using special features to facilitate safe U -turn maneuvers.
Amendments to the City's Thoroughfare Plan shall not be accepted as a means of mitigating
negative impacts, unless the proposed amendment(s) can be shown to enhance capacity and
safety and will be constructed as part of the proposed land development project.
g. Planning and Zoning Commission Report.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall make a report to the City Council on all TIAs it
considers in conjunction with requests for rezoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission may
make a recommendation for approval, modification, or denial of the zoning case based on other
planning factors in addition to its review of the TIA.
Where the identified impacts of the proposed zoning cannot be adequately mitigated, the
Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend to the City Council one (1) or more of the
following actions:
1. Denial of the zoning case in total or in part.
