upcoming legislative session. Governor Abbott’s legislative priorities for 2017 included:
• convention of states
WKSHP101316 Minutes Page 3
• CPS reform
• LIFE initiative to protect the unborn
• Police Protection Act
• prohibit state investments in countries that sponsor terrorism
• pre-K funding
Some key legislative issues for cities include: budget; local property tax reduction; annexation;
transgender bathrooms; sanctuary cities; voter ID; short term rentals; transportation network
companies; statewide texting ban/hands free while driving; payday lending.
Other key legislative issues included funding for transportation, border security, the mental health
system, public education, and water.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Impact Fee Advisory
Committee’s written comments on the proposed Roadway Impact Fees for Services Areas A,
B, C and D, and an update on the process for possible implementation of Roadway Impact
Fees.
Alan Gibbs, City Engineer, updated the Council on the schedule for actions completed and
upcoming, the calculation of maximum allowable fees, and comments from the Advisory
Committee. Full build-out is $290 million, and $217 is needed in the next ten years. The City will
continue to look to new and increased funding sources, including Roadway Impact fees. Four
roadway areas have been defined, and the actual maximum calculated fees are:
• Roads A $4,244/SF House ($1,061/Veh-Mile)
• Roads B $4,288/SF House ($1,072/Veh-Mile)
• Roads C $10,224/SF House ($2,556/Veh-Mile)
• Roads D $16,148/SF House ($4,037/Veh-Mile)
Staff believes the market can bear the recommended fees and is recommending a “flat” approach
across all four areas for equity:
• Residential Fees 15% of Max (Area C) - $1500 Single Family House
• Non-Residential Fees 3% of Max (Area C) - Actual Fees Vary by Land
Use/Business Type.
Given this recommendation, the ten-year collection amount comparison is:
• “Max” Fees = $134M
• “Recommended” Fees = $14M (10%)
Developments would receive credit toward Roadway Impact Fees for construction of Major
Collectors and above. System Improvements would receive credit (Public – i.e. Major Collector,
Signal, etc.). Site Improvements would not receive credit (Private – i.e. Driveways, DW Decel
Lanes, etc.).
Commissioner Jerome Rektorik, IFAC Representative, briefed Council of the IFAC comments.
He noted that the committee voted six (6) against and two (2) for impact fees. There was a concern
that the City is not using all the tools available. They have requested an evaluation of the impact
WKSHP101316 Minutes Page 4
fee in relation to other tools, such as raising property taxes. The committee also cautioned that
impact fees should be in sync with other goals and objectives.
Staff requested direction on 1) whether to adopt roadway impact fees and if the fees would the
staff recommendation or not; 2) absolute fee caps (all or specific land uses); 3) exemptions for
specific land uses; and should the fee be phased in.
Council suggestions included exempting hospitals, churches, and nursing homes; a nominal flat
fee of $100 for all categories; phasing; and a maximum cap.
A Public Hearing and formal action has been scheduled for November 10, 2016.
Workshop was recessed at 7:20 p.m.
Workshop reconvened at 10:15 p.m.
7. Council Calendar

REGULAR AGENDA
1. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Preliminary
Engineering Report and recommendation for the alignment of Capstone and Barron Road
at FM 2154.
RM101316 Minutes Page 4
Emily Fisher, Planning and Development, stated that this project includes the reconstruction and
alignment of Capstone Drive and Barron Road from SH 40 through FM 2154. Barron and Capstone
will be realigned to intersect at FM 2154 at the same junction.
Eric Ratzman, Halff Associates, noted there is insufficient distance between the Barron and
Capstone intersections with Wellborn Rd (FM 2154), and the intersections are too close for two
traffic signals. There is an issue with intersection safety/accident history, and traffic is projected
to increase. Project goals include re-aligning either Barron Road or Capstone Drive into a single
signalized intersection with Wellborn Road, widening Barron Road to accommodate future traffic
volumes and multiple modes of travel, and widening the at-grade railroad crossing for the ultimate
roadway cross section. He presented six alternatives for consideration.
Staff recommended moving forward with a final design using either Alternate 1 or 2 as presented.
At approximately 7:59 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Walter Hinkle, 4104 Wimbledon Circle, said that James Smith listened to everyone’s concerns and
has come forth with a great plan.
Glen Boote, 14290 IGN Road, reported that the traffic has increased tremendously and the area is
very dangerous now. He asks that the project move forward as quickly as possible because it is
such a safety issue.
Fiona Lockheart, 3180 Barron, thanked staff and Halff Associates for how they handled the public
meetings. This needs to be done as quickly as possible because the traffic so bad and safety is an
issue.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:04 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Benham and a second by Councilmember
Schultz, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to accept the Preliminary
Engineering Report and recommendation for the alignment of Capstone and Barron Road at FM
2154. The motion carried unanimously.

02, that will authorize City staff to negotiate for the purchase of right-of-way and easements
needed for the Capstone/Barron Road Realignment Project.
Emily Fisher, Planning and Development, stated that that is a Needs Resolution and will authorize
Staff to move forward.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Councilmember
Benham, the City Council voted seven (7) for and none (0) opposed, to approve Resolution 10-13-

plain. His backyard has six inches of water today, and this property probably has twelve inches.

Permit for a long-term mobile food court in Northgate. The applicant has requested variances to

Commission considered this item at their September 15, 2016 meeting and voted 5-1 to
recommend approval of the conditional use permit. However, the Commission expressed concerns
related to the maximum capacity and security of the proposed mobile food court. The Police
Department has also expressed security concerns regarding the food truck park and requests the
additional conditions outlined below:
No amplified sound from the site (including the stage)
A minimum of two security officers be provided anytime alcohol is sold or consumed on
site, and;
The mobile food court ceases operations no later than 2:00 a.m.
At approximately 9:31 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing.
Bobby Grabowski, 303 College Main, said he owns a bar on Northgate and expressed some
concern regarding Council’s bias. Northgate is the City’s downtown. It needs more restaurants,
but does not need more bars. It does need to be fair and equitable for both sides. Safety is a huge
concern.
Robert Forrest, 105 College Main, said he owns some property on College Main. Northgate has
evolved. The guidelines the existing businesses had to follow are being thrown out. He expressed
some concern regarding pedestrian safety when they leave the establishment and attempt to cross
Wellborn Road. This concept was not in the realm of thought 15 years ago. Will these owners
own all the food trucks, or will there be nine different owners of the food trucks, affecting TABC
licenses. If the City wants control, they must take it now.
Sol Arena, 3522 Colorado Court, stated this is a wonderful idea because it will be a good hangout
area. In Northgate if you are not in the bars, there is nothing to do.
Shadman Idbal, 314 Cecilia Loop, stated there are areas that serve alcohol past midnight, but this
allows people somewhere to go while drunk.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:45 p.m.

·Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends review and approval of the resolution.
Summary:The Public Funds Investment Act requires an annual review and approval of the City's

that it has reviewed the investment policy and investment strategies, and
(2)that the written instrument so adopted records any changes to either the investment policy or
investment strategies.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The City of College Station will pursue a passive investment strategy. Investments will be
purchased with the intent of holding to maturity and will only be sold early under exceptional
circumstances. In purchasing investments, the investment officer will attempt to follow a ladder
strategy to ensure that the portfolio will have at least one investment maturing every month.
Investment priorities are as follows:
1. Suitability - Any investment allowed under the Investment Policy is suitable.
2. Preservation and Safety of Principal - Investments of the City shall be undertaken
in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
3. Liquidity - The City’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the
City to meet all operational requirements that might reasonably be anticipated.
4. Marketability - Investments should have an active and efficient secondary market to
enable the City to liquidate investments prior to the maturity if the need should arise.
5. Diversification - The Investment Officer will attempt to maintain a diversified portfolio
with regard to security type, financial institution providing the security, and maturity.
6. Yield - The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining
the maximum rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into
account the City’s risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

CITY OF COLLEGE STATION
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, as Amended (”PFIA”
herein), requires each city to adopt rules governing its investment practices and to define the
authority of the investment officer. The following Investment Policy addresses the methods,
procedures, and practices that must be exercised to ensure effective and judicious fiscal
management of the City of College Station funds.
I. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of College Station, Texas (“City”) to invest public funds in a manner,
which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the
daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all federal, state and local statutes
governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all the financial assets held by the City. These funds are defined
in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include:
General Fund Special Revenue Funds
Debt Service Fund Capital Projects Funds
Enterprise Funds Internal Service Funds
Any new funds created by the City will be subject to this policy unless specifically exempted by
the City Council. To maximize the effective investment of assets, all funds mentioned above will
pool their cash balances for investment purposes. The income derived from investing activities
will be distributed to the various funds based on calculation of their average balances.
III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The City of College Station shall manage and invest its cash with three primary objectives, listed
in order of priority: safety, liquidity and yield. The safety of the principal invested always remains
the primary objective.
Safety
Safety of Principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments of the City shall be undertaken
in a manner that seeks to insure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
Revised: October 2016 5
Liquidity
The City’s investment portfolio will remain liquid to enable the City to meet all operational
requirements that might reasonably be anticipated.
Yield
The City shall invest funds in investments that earn a competitive market yield consistent with
stated objectives. For bond proceeds to which arbitrage restrictions apply, the primary
objectives shall be to obtain a fair market yield and to minimize the costs associated with the
investment of such funds within the constraints of the investment policy and applicable bond
covenants.
IV. RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL
Delegation of Authority
The Assistant City Manager or his Designee(s) are designated the City’s Investment Officer. The
Investment Officer shall be responsible for the investment of funds consistent with this Policy, and
shall have the authority necessary to carry out such responsibilities. An investment committee
consisting of the Investment Officer and at least two other staff members designated by the City
Manager will also be formed. This committee will be responsible for selecting eligible
broker/dealers, reviewing, and updating the investment policy annually. All participants in the
investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust.
The Investment Officer shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment
program consistent with this investment policy. No person may engage in an investment
transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by
the Investment Officer. The Investment Officer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken
and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
Cash Flow Analysis
Supplemental to the financial and budgetary systems, the Investment Officer will maintain a
cash flow forecasting process designed to monitor and forecast cash positions for investment
purposes. Cash flow analysis will include the historical researching and monitoring of specific
cash flow items, payables and receivables as well as overall cash position and patterns.
Training Requirement
In order to ensure the quality and capability of investment management, the Assistant City
Manager and his Designees shall:
Revised: October 2016 6
- attend at least one training session within 12 months of assuming duties and
containing not less than 10 hours of instruction from an independent source approved
by the governing board or a designated investment committee;
- receive training which includes education in investment controls, security risks, strategy
risks, market risks, diversification of the investment portfolio, and compliance with the
PFIA; and
- attend a training session not less than once each state fiscal biennium (beginning on
the first day of the fiscal year and consisting of two consecutive fiscal years after that
date) and receive not less than 8 hours of training from an independent source
approved by the governing board or a designated investment committee.
Internal Controls
The Investment Officer shall establish an annual process of independent review by an external
auditor. This review will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies and
procedures. Annually, the City’s independent auditors will review quarterly reports for the fiscal
year.
Prudence
Investments shall be made with the judgment and care which persons of prudence, discretion and
intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be
derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the “prudent person”
standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers
acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due
diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or
market price changes provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business
activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair
their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall
disclose to the City Manager any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct
business within this jurisdiction, and they shall further disclose any large personal
financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City, particularly with
regard to the time of purchases and sales. Employees and investment officials shall refrain from
undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with which business is
conducted on behalf of the City.
Revised: October 2016 7

A. The total estimated cost of the Project is shown in the Project Budget – Attachment “C”,
which is attached to and made a part of this agreement. The expected cash contributions
from the Federal or State government, the Local Government, or other parties are shown in
Attachment “C”. The State will pay for only those project costs that have been approved by
the Texas Transportation Commission. The State and the Federal Government will not
reimburse the Local Government for any work performed before the federal spending
authority is formally obligated to the Project by the Federal Highway Administration. After
federal funds have been obligated, the State will send to the Local Government a copy of
the formal documentation showing the obligation of funds including federal award
information. The Local Government is responsible for 100% of the cost of any work
performed under its direction or control before the federal spending authority is formally

standard funding or payment arrangement under 43 TAC §15.52, the budget in Attachment
C will clearly state the specified percentage or the periodic payment schedule.
L. If the Local government is an Economically Disadvantaged County (EDC) and if the State
has approved adjustments to the standard financing arrangement, this agreement reflects
those adjustments.
M. When Special Approval has been granted by the State so that the Local Government bears
the responsibility for paying cost overruns, the Local Government shall make payment to
the State within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the State’s written notification of those
amounts.
N. The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from
the State directly under this contract or indirectly through a subcontract under this contract.

costs are incurred, and if federal funding is reduced as a result, the State shall have no
responsibility to reimburse the Local Government for those costs.
Q. The State will not execute the contract for the construction of the Project until the required
funding has been made available by the Local Government in accordance with this
agreement.
4. Termination of this Agreement
This agreement shall remain in effect until the project is completed and accepted by all parties,
unless:

because of insufficient funds, in which case the Local Government agrees to reimburse the
State for its reasonable actual costs incurred during the Project; or
D. The Project is inactive for thirty-six (36) months or longer and no expenditures have been
charged against federal funds, in which case the State may in its discretion terminate this
agreement.
5. Amendments

Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a professional services contract (Contract No. 17300072) with Jones &
Carter, Inc. in the amount of $358,000 for the final design and construction phase services of the southern portion of the
Royder Road Expansion Project.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the professional services contract.
Summary: The scope of this contract includes final design services of the roadway and drainage system, traffic signal
design at Greens Prairie Trail and Royder Road, streetlight design, geotechnical investigation, environmental constraints
investigation, United States Army Corps of Engineers coordination, bid and construction phase support, and construction
materials testing.
The intent of this portion of the project is to reconstruct Royder Road from approximately 700 feet south of the intersection
with Greens Prairie Trail intersection to the College Station ISD property (approximately 2,700 feet). The existing two lane
open ditch section will be converted to a modified major collector with two travel lanes, a dedicated center turn lane, bike
lanes, curb and gutter, and oversized sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Due to an increase in development and school traffic, a section of Royder Road is proposed to be realigned to FM 2154
(Wellborn Road) north of the CSISD property. Because of the realignment and expected opening date of the new CSISD
Middle School No. 3, the southern section of the Royder Road reconstruction is being expedited. The final design for the
northern portion will follow promptly.
Budget &Financial Summary:Budget in the amount of $4,930,000 is included for this project in the Streets Capital
Improvement Projects Fund.A total of $67,724 has been expended or committed to date,leaving $4,862,276 for the design

Safety facility improvement projects and equipment purchases that were included in the FY17 Capital
Improvements Program Budget.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1.Financially Sustainable City
2.Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation:Staff recommends approval of the “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse
Certain Expenditures with Proceeds from Debt.”
Summary:The FY17 Approved Budget included a number of Parks and Recreation,Public Works and
Public Safety facility improvement projects and equipment purchases that are anticipated to be funded
with Certificates of Obligation that have not yet been issued.On projects for which spending will occur in
advance of the debt issue,a “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with
Proceeds from Debt”must be approved by Council.Typically,the resolution is brought to Council along
with the initial contract for the project (i.e.the engineering contract).However,in some cases,the
contract may be below the threshold required for Council approval and/or spending may take place before
the contract is brought to Council (i.e.staff time charged to the project for initial planning).This
“Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with Proceeds from Debt”is being
brought to Council to cover expenditures for projects on which spending is estimated to occur in advance

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the purchase of five (5) variable frequency
drives from The Reynolds Company, in the amount of $499,529 to replace the existing units now
being operated in Water Production.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:Core services and infrastructure
Recommendation:Staff recommends approval of this purchase.
Summary: Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) allow large electric motors to start slowly and operate at
a variety of speeds, which makes the motors last longer and gives water operators flexibility to adjust
the amount of water being pumped by each motor. The existing VFD being used in water production
operation were made by Robicon, and installed in 2001 and 2002. They are still working and in-
service, but they have reached the expected service life of fifteen (15) years. Also, we’re not certain
how long we’ll be able to effectively acquire all of the replacement parts that might be needed to keep
these units operating. The new VFD have a four month lead time, so it is important to purchase them
now, so we can replace them in the low water demand season and have them ready for the summer
of 2017.
The quoted price for the replacement VFD is from The Reynolds Company and is GSA schedule pre-
competed pricing. The purchase request includes:
1.One (1) 500hp VFD to be used with High Service #2 at the Dowling Road Pump Station
2.Three (3) 500hp VFD’s to be used with Low Service Transfer Pumps 1, 2 and 4 at the Sandy
Point Pump Station
3.One (1) 400hp. VFD to be used with Low Service Transfer Pump #3 at the Sandy Point Pump
Station
Since these VFD are critical for dependable water service to the City, staff recommends approval of

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a resolution supporting the designation of
State Highway 47 as “Riverside Parkway”.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: This Resolution supports the designation of State Highway 47 as “Riverside Parkway” in
honor of the former western Brazos County community of Riverside. The approval of assigning a
name to a state roadway lies with the Texas Department of Transportation. This proposal originated
with the Brazos County Historical Commission in the fall of 2015.
The Riverside community existed from the late 19th century until 1942 when the federal government
purchased nearly 2,000 acres of land, including all of the Riverside Community, to establish the
Bryan Army Airfield. Having been in use as a military facility between 1943 and 1961, ownership was
transferred to Texas A&M University in 1962. For a number of years, the property was known as the
Riverside Campus. In September 2015, the university announced a 150 million dollar campus
renovation planned to transform the property under a new name, RELLIS Campus.
SH 47 is approximately 6.5 miles in length with all but approximately ½ mile of that distance lying
outside of College Station’s corporate limits. In order to facilitate an efficient transition to the new
name and to ensure that the highway bears the same name along its entire length, staff worked to
coordinate the naming process with the City of Bryan. A similar resolution is tentatively scheduled for
consideration by the Bryan City Council on October 25, 2016.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS,
SUPPORTING THE DESIGNATION OF TEXAS STATE HIGHWAY 47 AS “RIVERSIDE
PARKWAY” TO HELP PERPETUATE THE MEMORY OF THE FORMER WESTERN
BRAZOS COUNTY COMMUNITY OF RIVERSIDE.
WHEREAS, the Riverside community was once situated in the immediate area now located
southwest of the intersection of Texas State Highway 47 and State Highway 21 in Brazos County,
Texas; and
WHEREAS, immigrant families and African-American farmers settled the Riverside community
in western Brazos County over 100 years ago, to make a better life for themselves; and
WHEREAS, many Riverside community families were displaced on very short notice, with
minimal recompense, for the construction of the Bryan Army Air Field; and
WHEREAS, since its original designation in 1987, Texas State Highway 47, has served as a
western gateway into Bryan, College Station, and Texas A&M University; and
WHEREAS, the naming of Texas State Highway 47 as “Riverside Parkway” will help serve to
perpetuate the memory of the Riverside community; and,
WHEREAS, the Brazos County Historical Commission endorsed the naming of Texas State
Highway 47 after the former western Brazos County community of Riverside; and,
WHEREAS, in conjunction with the City of Bryan, Texas, State Highway 47 would be designated
Riverside Parkway through the City limits of College Station and Bryan, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION,
TEXAS:
PART 1: That the City of College Station hereby supports the designation of Texas
State highway 47 as, “Riverside Parkway” and thereby requests that the
Texas Department of Transportation take the appropriate action and make
the necessary changes to designate Texas State Highway 47 as a memorial
route for the former western Brazos County community of Rivers ide .

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a resolution updating the fees for
development applications and permits.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Financially Sustainable City
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: This resolution adjusts application and permit fees for Planning & Development Services
as discussed as part of the FY 2017 budget process. As communicated to the City Council in the
budget transmittal letter, development activity continues to be strong in College Station. In order to
provide timely and accurate reviews and inspections of the built environment, several new positions
were recently added in Planning & Development Services. The fees proposed in this resolution
should offset the costs associated with the new positions.
Additionally, the last comprehensive review of development fees was in 2009. Costs (personnel,
postage, legal notice requirements, etc.) have increased since that time, resulting in an ever-
increasing subsidization of services through the general fund. The Council has a long-standing policy
regarding “User Based Fees and Service Charges” calling for a review of such fees at least every
three years. Further, this policy classifies building and development fees as “full fee support” and
recommends 80-100% cost recovery through fees.
The resolution has a delayed effective date of 1 January 2017 to provide adequate time to notify the
development community of the fee adjustments.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Financially Sustainable City

LLC dba Proview Advanced Administrator, LLC in the amount of $20,174.
Summary: The City contracted with Proview in July of 2014, to provide technology services for
managing our City’s benefits offerings for both the active and retiree popultaions. The original scope

requirements, we increased the contract amount to obtain additional services to accurately report all
benefits eligibility data directly to employees as well as through a transmittal to the IRS. These
services not only capitalized on the data we already had captured in the enrollment system, it also
relieved the need to engage Sungard in creating a work around upgrade to meet our needs. (11.92%
increase in contract amount)
Change Order # 2: This includes reengaging Proview to satisfy our ACA 1094/1095 reporting
services for 2016 (reflecting a price increase from 2015), additional services to add an ongoing

with Munis as part of the ICE HR/Payroll project, and accounting for increased headcount (active

CAREPLUS SUITE OF SERVICES
BROKERAGE AND CONSULTING
From market-reactive to metrics-directed, we change the health care paradigm. While the
typical employer health care program focuses on a defined benefit structure with insurance
company mandated rates, common provider selections, the employer’s last year’s budget and
employee contributions, CarePlus advances this market-reactive reality to a metrics-directed
alternative.
Our goal is to provide you with a meaningful and executable plan that will encourage healthy
employee lifestyles, demonstrate a direct correlation between improved financial results through
simplified administration, and a multi-year roadmap to help you establish annual renewal
predictability.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We deliver integrated wellness solutions, strategies, and technologies that help employers
manage financial risk by implementing programs to inspire employees to improve the healthy
activities that result in improved medical care outcomes.
By employing active care management through web-based technologies and interactions
supported by our clinical professionals in cooperation with your health plan, we reduce short-
and long-term medical claims costs and improve the health of your employees.
We motivate employees to be consumers, rather than just users, of health care. Through
engagement of your employees in identifying their health risks, we encourage them to lead
healthier lives.
Our goal is to increase employee productivity, reduce absenteeism, and decrease the impact of
disability on your bottom line. This results in improve performance and accountability of your
health plan and health program vendors.
BENEFIT OUTSOURCING
Our fully integrated health, wellness, and benefits outsourcing platform manages all medical and
ancillary benefit partners in a single, management-based program. The platform gives
employers budget control and predictable annual renewals through our exclusive preferred
partner programs. You enjoy increased employee self-service, which allows you to rededicate
internal staff resources to support higher value company initiatives. The enhanced efficiency
and reduction in time spent to access and manage benefits, plus the increased accuracy,
simplifies your administration and further reduces your internal operational costs.
BENEFIT ADMINISTRATION
Through an advanced benefits administration platform, we design and administer FSA, HSA
and COBRA. Our plan administrative services and programs integrate with any existing program
to more easily conform to all federal and state regulations. This reduces the administrative
burden and risk of an employer’s noncompliance with regulations.

DATA ANALYTICS
Our data analytics help employers develop a deeper understanding of their organization’s cost
and risk management factors by identifying high-risk employees with significant chronic
conditions for care coordination and creating unique campaigns to drive targeted outreach. Our
program provides claims analysis, cost monitoring, and benchmarking to measure the actual
financial results of your wellness program.
Your ability to identify and forecast health risks allows you to develop strategies for the most
effective benefit plan design and to better manage your employees’ health, reduce employee
claims and utilization, and better predict future medical costs.
MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
The CarePlus Mobile platform offers analytics to help you understand the unique risk profile of
your employees through advanced analysis of your employee population. We design health
incentives, communication pieces, and healthy programs that are targeted to those areas that
will have the biggest impact on your employees. Through better management of your workforce
health, you achieve better results. CarePlus Mobile gives your employees and their families the
tools they need to adopt healthier lifestyles and become better consumers of health services.
COMPLIANCE
Our national team of government and legislative experts monitors legislative developments and
all aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to update, coach, and
provide resources to aid you in understanding the impact on your organization.
Your organization will receive legislative updates, white papers, and numerous tools that are
instrumental to employers’ compliance with federal and state mandates involving ERISA,
HIPAA, FMLA, and relevant state and federal legislative requirements.
RETIREMENT

Fee Schedule Assumptions:
Proposal shall remain valid until October 31, 2016.
Services described above will utilize data from plan year 2016.
This proposal reflects employees currently housed in the Businessolver platform and does not include
employees that are not transmitted on our weekly census file as of the date of this proposal. City of
College Station has communicated to ProView that any employee reporting and/or IRS transmitting needed
for those not housed in our system will be their sole responsibility to report to the individual employees
and/or the IRS, respectively.
Unless specifically stated above, these fees are independent and in addition to other system fees.
1095 reporting for COBRA continuants is included if Employer’s COBRA vendor sends data using our
standard COBRA import specifications. This includes a 1095 file and an employee census and a dependent
census. If the COBRA vendor is unable to supply the files in our standard format, additional fees will apply.
Employees who have benefits managed outside of the enrollment system (other than COBRA) are not
included in this scope of work and pricing listed above. If Employer has additional employee groups they
wish to add, additional fees must be estimated before this amendment is executed.
Please note: the IRS electronic submission for 1094-C and 1095-C has specific requirements that cannot be
met by anyone other than the actual transmitter of the file. We recommend clients planning on transmitting
forms themselves to fully assess their capabilities well in advance of the filing deadline.
IRS Transmittal Service Assumptions:
This amendment does not commit ProView to delivery of this service. Businessolver will be the authorized
IRS Transmitter per the Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) Program. AIR is defining the
requirements for transmittal.
For IRS Transmittal Service, proposal assumes the employer has a single EIN. If employer has multiple
EIN’s requiring IRS Transmittal, additional fees will apply for each EIN.
This service performs the required electronic filing with the IRS of the employers 1094-C and 1095-C forms
through the IRS Affordable Care Act Information Returns (AIR) program. This includes the original
transmittal and correction transmittals where appropriate. Limited to 2 correction files to fix IRS errors due to
data issues. Additional corrections possible if needed for an additional fee of $500 per correction
transmission.

single-family residential lots. The proposed rezoning, RS Restricted Suburban, will allow for the
development of medium density single-family lots.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The neighboring property to the west is zoned R
Rural and is used for single-family and agricultural purposes. The property to the east is also
zoned R Rural but is vacant and undeveloped. The property to the north is currently vacant but
preliminary planned and partially final platted for Williams Creek Lake Estate Subdivision. The
property is zoned E Estate and will be a low density single-family cluster development with an
average lot size of 20,000 sf and absolute minimum 10,000 sf. The proposed Restricted
Suburban zoning is intended to be an extension of the Williams Creek Lake Estate Subdivision,
which will allow for 10,000 sf average lots, with a minimum of 6,500 sf.
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 property abuts
Rock Prairie Road, a future 4 Lane Minor Arterial and is intended to be an extension of Williams
Creek Lake Estate Subdivision, a low-density cluster development. The subject property is
suitable for the proposed zoning district given the uses and dimensional lot standards required for
Restricted Suburban.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The property is
currently used for single-family with some agricultural uses but is also partially vacant and
undeveloped. The property to the north is being developed as Williams Creek Lake Estate Phase
1. The area proposed for Restricted Suburban is suitable for single-family uses similar to the
adjacent development but with a higher density. The existing zoning district allows for low density
single-family and agricultural uses.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The marketability
of the property will increase if the property is zoned Restricted Suburban to allow for medium
density, single-family uses given it is intended to be an extension of the future Williams Creek
Lake Estates. The property will be accessed from the adjacent, future single-family development
and Rock Prairie Road, a future 4 lane Minor Arterial.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use:
There is an existing 18-inch water main on the south side of Rock Prairie Road. An 8-inch
waterline is being extended with the development of Williams Creek Lake Estate Phase 1 along
future Williams Lake Drive. The site will have sanitary sewer access via an 8-inch sewer line
being extended along future Joe Will Drive from an existing 12-inch sewer main from William D.
Fitch. Water and sewer mains will need to be extended to serve all lots at the time of final platting.
All utilities are required to be designed and constructed in accordance to the BCS Unified Design

Guidelines.
The subject properties are located in the Carter Creek Drainage Basin. There is no FEMA
regulated floodplain in the subject area. Detention will need to be evaluated and designed in
accordance with the BCS Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines.
The property will have its primary access to Rock Prairie Road, a future 4-lane Minor Arterial.
Access to the future development will require street connection to future Williams Lake Drive and
Joe Will Drive. This connection, as well as an internal street network, will be required at the time
of platting.

Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider this item on October 20,
2016. Their recommendation will be presented at the Council meeting. Staff recommends approval.
Summary:REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designates the subject property as Urban and Natural Areas Reserved. The
property is also located in Growth Area V. The Urban designation is for a very intense level of
development activity tending to consist of townhouses, duplexes and apartments, but is limited to
no more than 25% of the total Urban portion as an additional restriction from the Growth Area V
designation. Within growth areas, an Urban designation may permit commercial, office, business
park and vertical mixed uses. The Comprehensive Plan states that Natural Areas Reserved is for
areas that represent a constraint to development that should be preserved for their natural
function or open space qualities including areas of floodplain, riparian buffers, and recreation
facilities. The proposed development is consistent with the allowable land uses for Growth Area V
and also with surrounding future land use designations. This property also lies just outside of the
Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area. While there is no specific language
regarding this tract the abutting intersection of Wellborn Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway was
identified as a key gateway and corridor to this neighborhood that should be developed with
landscaping, monuments and flags to enhance the character and identity of the neighborhood.
The proposed rezoning proposes essentially a step down zoning with the most intense
commercial zoning taking advantage of both Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Wellborn Road. As you
move to the back of the development you begin the step down in land uses downgrading to the
MF Multi-Family residential zoning and then to the Natural Areas Protected and Rural area that go
to protect the creek area and provide buffer to the existing Steeplechase Park that is adjacent to
the eastern property boundary.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: As noted on the title page, the property is currently
guided by the R Rural, GS General Suburban, and GC General Commercial zoning districts.
Given the property’s close proximity to two major Thoroughfares and the expectation to provide
flexible land uses that respond to market demand as noted from the Comprehensive Plan, the R
Rural and GS General Suburban zonings do not allow for that intense level of development that
can be achieved at this location, nor does it currently provide protection for the unstudied
floodplain and creek area that is designated as Natural Areas Reserved within the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Further rezoning for commercial and
high-density residential and natural areas protected has been anticipated to meet the
development goals as outlined by the Comprehensive Plan.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment:The proposed land
uses permitted through this request are those allowed in NAP Natural Areas Protected, MF Multi-
Family and GC General Commercial. The requested uses with this rezoning are suitable for this.
The property is general flat with portions being unstudied floodplain, a portion of which will be
protected through NAP Natural Areas Protected zoning.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property is
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0688,Version:1
currently zoned R Rural, GS General Suburban and GC General Commercial. The current zoning
districts are suitable for the property given the similar zonings and uses of nearby land. However,
this area is anticipated to have opportunity for more intense commercial and residential
development and provide protection to the creek and floodplain areas, which cannot be achieved
under the existing zoning. Because the creek area is designated as Rural the owner is entitled to
make improvements under that zoning. The area on the Land Use plan is very conceptual for this
area due to the fact that much of the creek along this property is not regulated floodplain by
FEMA. With this being so conceptual there has been some flexibility given to the designated NAP
zoning boundary. This was to allow some improvement to the creek area as already entitled, but
still providing protection to the vast majority of the land.
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
currently be marketed under the existing R Rural, GS General Suburban and GC General
Commercial zoning districts. However, the applicant has stated that the uses are not appropriate
or feasible for this property knowing the current development trends occurring in the area around
this property.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There are existing 24-inch waterlines along the
northern and eastern property lines. With further site development, water mains will need to be
extended throughout the site and looped to provide domestic service and fire protection. There
are also 18-inch sanitary sewer lines crossing the southern and eastern sides of the property.
The existing sanitary sewer system currently has adequate capacity to support the proposed
development.
The subject property is located in the Bee Creek Tributary B basin. There is currently FEMA Zone
AE Special Flood Hazard area on the property. With site development, detention will be required.
Additionally, further drainage analysis to identify the limits of the 100-year floodplain and the
impacts of reclaiming portions of the floodplain and “flood prone” areas will be needed. With site
development, there are proposed adjustments to portions of existing natural areas to allow for
retention, mitigation, and parkland dedication.
Access to the site will be provided via drives on Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Wellborn
Road. Balcones Drive, a 2-lane minor collector, is proposed to be constructed along the southern
side of the property with final platting. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) performed recently for the
development recommended deceleration lanes and a traffic signal at the Balcones Drive and
Wellborn Road intersection. The City and TxDOT support the recommendations of the TIA
including the proposed signal.
All drainage improvements and public infrastructure required with the site shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing infrastructure, with
the exception of the aforementioned transportation facilities, is currently adequate to serve the
proposed use.

College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0690,Version:1
Development Ordinance provides the following review criteria for zoning map amendments:
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as General Suburban and on the
Concept Map as Growth Area V. The Comprehensive Plan states that the General Suburban
portion within Growth Area V is suitable for high-density single-family lots, townhomes, and
duplexes. The proposed zoning permits townhomes, allowing the property to be developed
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 existing R Rural zoning allows for large lot
residential and/or agricultural uses, which is not compatible or supportive of more intense
development that is anticipated for the area. Given the property’s close proximity to multiple
townhouse developments, and its designation of Growth Area V in the Comprehensive Plan, an R
Rural designation does not support the planned growth. The continuation of high density single-
family is compatible with the adjacent Barracks development.
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 property is
suitable for townhouse uses. It is adjacent to multiple townhouse developments. It is greenfield
property, and there is no floodplain on the property and it is relatively flat. There is an existing 50-
foot pipeline easement that bisects the property which should not negatively affect the property,
so long as it is not included within any residential lot.
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 R Rural. Uses permitted in this district include agricultural and large lot
residential. Located near residential and commercial uses, major thoroughfares, and given the
amount of residential property in the area, this property is not suitable for these uses.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The property can
currently be marketed under the existing R Rural zoning district. However, the applicant has
stated that the existing gas pipeline bisecting the property would affect the number of single family
lots which could be developed, further limiting the marketability of the property.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be provided by Wellborn SUD.
The subject tract is located in the Steeplechase Wellborn Sanitary Sewer impact fee area. The
site will have sewer access via 8-inch sewer main stub on Deacon Drive West. The subject
property is located in the Bee Creek drainage basin. Detention will be required with the
development. The site has frontage on Holleman Drive, a future Minor Arterial, Towers Parkway,
a Minor Collector, and Deacon Drive West, a Major Collector. Drainage and other public
infrastructure required with the site shall 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.

·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Future Land Use and Character Map
amendment. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their October 20, 2016 Regular
Meeting. Their recommendation will be presented at the City Council Meeting.
Summary:
PROPOSAL
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Character Map amendment from Urban to General
Commercial is to allow for infill commercial development opportunities in proximity to Veterans
Memorial Park. The subject property has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage along the south side of
State Highway 30 and was recently identified by Staff as a prime location for needed general
commercial development. A significant amount of floodplain exists at the rear of the site that will be
retained in its natural state.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The City of College
Station’s Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009. This site was designated as Urban on
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0687,Version:1
the Future Land Use and Character Map at that time.
City Staff has recently begun to identify and actively market developable commercial
properties along key corridors in an effort to attract businesses to the community. Limited
developable commercial properties exist near Veterans Memorial Park. The subject property is
one of the areas that City Staff and the City Council’s Economic Development Committee has
identified as an opportunity for infill commercial development.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend approximately 7 acres from Urban to
General Commercial to accommodate general commercial infill development in proximity to
Veterans Memorial Park.
3.Availability of adequate information:The General Commercial designation allows for
future development of general commercial uses such as retail and restaurant. The property
has approximately 2,000 feet of freeway frontage along State Highway 30.
4.Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:The proposal is consistent
with the goals and strategies of the Comprehensive 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 Comprehensive Plan states that infill development is desirable in appropriate locations
and should be sensitive to surrounding neighborhoods. City Staff has identified the
undeveloped frontage south of Veterans Memorial Park as an ideal commercial development
opportunity. The portion of the property proposed for General Commercial is located along
the road, with floodplain and natural vegetation at the rear of the lot adjacent to the large lot
residential properties to the south.
Additionally, the City adopted the Economic Development Master Plan in 2012, with an over-
arching goal of a diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the
sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high quality of life. One of the strategic
initiatives for continued economic success is to support retail development by ensuring that
there are opportunities to locate and expand businesses that make College Station a regional
destination for retail services. The stated Master Plan goal for retail is as follows: “The City of
College Station will continue to recognize the significance of retail expenditures to the local
economy and will ensure that locations are ready to accommodate the development of such
opportunities and that the City remains responsive to an ever-changing market.”
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:
The subject area is currently designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map as Urban, with a proposed amendment to General Commercial.
The proposed General Commercial designation is described in the Comprehensive
Plan as areas intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby
residents and to the larger community or region. Generally these areas tend to be large in
size, located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads, and concentrated in
nodes within the community.
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0687,Version:1
The existing Urban designation is described as being for areas that should have a very
intense level of development activity and will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and
high-density apartments.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The property located to the north across State
Highway 30 is owned by the City of College Station and developed as Veterans Memorial
Park. Properties to the south are located outside of the City limits in the Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ) and developed as a large lot residential subdivision. At the rear of the
residential lots is a substantial wooded buffer/floodplain. To the east and west along State
Highway 30, properties are generally undeveloped. The proposed amendment to General
Commercial is compatible with the surrounding adjacent uses.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network:Water service is available to this property from an existing 12-inch
waterline along the north side of State Highway 30. There is also an existing 18-inch sewer
main along the front of the property. Drainage is mainly to the southeast to the creek at the
rear of the property. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site
development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines. Existing and proposed infrastructure appear to be adequate for the proposed
general commercial use at this time.
The subject property has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on State Highway 30,
designated a Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Access to the site will be from
State Highway 30. An initial analysis of the surrounding transportation system was
conducted. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required with the Site Plan for this
property.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:City Services are
not anticipated to be negatively impacted by the change in land use.
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 Urban to General Commercial on approximately 7 acres does
not limit the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment proposes uses
consistent with anticipated growth in this area.

PROPOSAL
The proposed rezoning from R Rural to GC General Commercial is to allow for infill commercial
development opportunities in proximity to Veterans Memorial Park on approximately six and a half
acres of the tract. The subject property has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage along the south side
of State Highway 30 and was recently identified by Staff as a prime location for needed general
commercial development. A significant amount of floodplain exists at the rear of the site that will
largely be zoned NAP Natural Areas Protected and be retained in its natural state.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is currently designated
on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban and Natural
Areas, with a pending application for amendment for the Urban area to General Commercial.
The proposed General Commercial designation is described in the Comprehensive Plan as
areas intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents
and to the larger community or region. Generally these areas tend to be large in size, located
near the intersection of two regionally significant roads, and concentrated in nodes within the
community.
The existing Urban designation is described as being for areas that should have a very intense
level of development activity and will tend to consist of townhomes, duplexes, and high-density
apartments.
Additionally, the City adopted the Economic Development Master Plan in 2012, with an over-
arching goal of a diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the
sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high quality of life. One of the strategic
initiatives for continued economic success is to support retail development by ensuring that
there are opportunities to locate and expand businesses that make College Station a regional
destination for retail services. The stated Master Plan goal for retail is as follows: “The City of
College Station will continue to recognize the significance of retail expenditures to the local
economy and will ensure that locations are ready to accommodate the development of such
opportunities and that the City remains responsive to an ever-changing market.”
If the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to General Commercial, the proposed
rezoning will be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. If the Planning & Zoning
Commission recommends denial of the Map amendment, the rezoning will not be in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property located to the north across State
Highway 30 is zoned M-1 Light Industrial, but owned by the City of College Station and
developed as Veterans Memorial Park. Properties to the south are located outside of the City
limits in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and developed as a large lot residential
subdivision. At the rear of the residential lots is a substantial wooded buffer/floodplain. To the
east and west along the south side of State Highway 30, properties are generally zoned R
Rural and are undeveloped. Along the north side to the east are undeveloped general
commercial properties. Proposed general commercial development is compatible with the
existing uses in the area.

File #:16-0693,Version:1
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 property has
over 2,000 feet of undeveloped frontage along State Highway 30 that is suitable for General
Commercial uses such as retail and restaurant. The property varies in depth from
approximately 180 feet deep to about 400 feet deep.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property
and larger surrounding tract are currently zoned R Rural. The property is suitable for rural
uses.
5.Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment:The subject
property may be marketable with its current zoning of R Rural, however, the requested
rezoning provides an opportunity for commercial development near Veterans Memorial Park.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is available to this
property from an existing 12-inch waterline along the north side of State Highway 30. There is
also an existing 18-inch sewer main along the front of the property. Drainage is mainly to the
southeast to the creek at the rear of the property. Drainage and other public infrastructure
required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS
Unified Design Guidelines. Existing and proposed infrastructure appear to be adequate for the
proposed general commercial use at this time.
The subject property has approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on State Highway 30,
designated a Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Access to the site will be from
State Highway 30. An initial analysis of the surrounding transportation system was conducted.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required with the Site Plan for this property.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Future Land Use and Character Map
amendment. The Planning & Zoning commission considered this request
at their October 20, 2016. Their recommendation will be presented at the
City Council meeting.
Summary:
PROPOSAL
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Character Map amendment from Village Center to
General Commercial is to allow for infill commercial development opportunities along the East
Bypass. The remainder of the larger 278 acre property, known as Spring Creek Business Park will
remain zoned for future industrial development. The subject property has frontage along the east side
of State Highway 6 South and was recently identified by Staff as a prime location for needed general
commercial development.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The City of
College Station’s Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009. This site was designated as
Business Park on the Future Land Use and Character Map at that to reflect the Spring Creek
Corporate Campus proposed on the subject property and adjoining acreage to the east. The
City purchased the larger 278 acres in 2000 for future business park development.
The existing Village Center designation was placed on the property in 2012 with the adoption
of the Medical District Master Plan. Since the adoption of that Plan, an Economic
Development Agreement has been executed within the Medical District that limits the City’s
ability to develop the subject property for a Village Center use in the near future.
City Staff has recently begun to identify and actively market developable
commercial properties along key corridors in an effort to attract businesses to the community.
Limited developable commercial properties of significant scale exist along State Highway 6
South the City’s primary commercial corridor. The subject property is one of the areas that
City Staff and the City Council’s Economic Development Committee has identified as an
opportunity for infill commercial development along the Freeway.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend approximately 58 acres from Village
Center to General Commercial to accommodate general commercial infill development along
State Highway 6 South.
3.Availability of adequate information:The General Commercial designation allows for
future development of general commercial uses such as retail and restaurant uses. The
property has approximately 1,900 feet of freeway frontage along State Highway 6 South.
4.Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:The proposal is
consistent with the goals and strategies of the Comprehensive 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 Comprehensive Plan states that infill development is desirable in appropriate locations
and should be sensitive to surrounding neighborhoods. City Staff has identified the
undeveloped frontage of this industrial tract as a prime commercial development opportunity
along State Highway 6 South, the City’s primary commercial corridor. The portion of the
property proposed for General Commercial use is not located near residential uses.
Additionally, the City adopted the Economic Development Master Plan in 2012, with an over-
arching goal of a diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the
sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high quality of life. One of the strategic
initiatives for continued economic success is to support retail development by ensuring that
there are opportunities to locate and expand businesses that make College Station a regional
destination for retail services. The stated Master Plan goal for retail is as follows: “The City of
College Station will continue to recognize the significance of retail expenditures to the local
economy and will ensure that locations are ready to accommodate the development of such
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 2 of 4

File #:16-0692,Version:1
opportunities and that the City remains responsive to an ever-changing market.”
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:
The subject area is currently designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map as Village Center, with a proposed amendment to General Commercial.
The proposed General Commercial designation is described in the Comprehensive
Plan as areas intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby
residents and to the larger community or region. Generally these areas tend to be large in
size, located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads, and concentrated in
nodes within the community.
The existing Village Center designation was placed on the property in 2012 with the adoption
of the Medical District Master Plan. Since the adoption of that Plan, an Economic
Development Agreement has been executed within the Medical District that limits the City’s
ability to develop the subject property for a Village Center use in the near future. Village
Center is described in the Medical District Master Plan as being for areas intended to provide
a mixture of retail and residential uses, possible with supporting offices in a pedestrian and
bicycle-friendly environment.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The adjacent land uses include places of
worship to the north and medical uses to the south, along State Highway 6 South. To the
east is the remainder of the larger 278 acre tract which is undeveloped, but intended for a
future business park. The proposed amendment to General Commercial is compatible with
the surrounding adjacent uses.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network:Water service is available to this property from existing 18-inch
waterline along State Highway 6, a future 24-inch line along State Highway 6, and future 12
-inch lines along the proposed Lakeway Drive and Pebble Creek Parkway extensions.
There is also an existing 27-inch sewer mains along the southern boundary that may serve
this property. The property is located in the Spring Creek Sewer Impact Fee area. Drainage
is mainly to the southeast. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site
development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines. Existing and proposed infrastructure appear to be adequate for the proposed
general commercial use at this time.
The subject property has approximately 1,900 feet of frontage on State Highway 6 South,
designated a Freeway/Expressway, approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on the future
Lakeway Drive extension, designated a Major Collector, and approximately 1,300 feet of
frontage along the future Pebble Creek Parkway extension, designated a Major Collector on
the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Access to the site will be from State Highway 6 South,
Lakeway Drive, and Pebble Creek Parkway. An initial analysis of the surrounding
transportation system was completed. A TIA of the tract will be required with the Site Plan.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:City Services
are not anticipated to be negatively impacted by the change in land use.
9.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:This area is not
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 3 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0692,Version:1
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 Village Center to General Commercial on
approximately 58 acres does not limit the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The
amendment proposes uses consistent with anticipated growth in this area.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning proposal. The Planning & Zoning
Commission considered this item at their October 20, 2016 Regular Meeting. Their recommendation
will be presented at the City Council Meeting.
Summary:
PROPOSAL
The proposed rezoning from M-1 Planned Industrial to GC General Commercial is to allow for infill
commercial development opportunities along the East Bypass. The remainder of the 278 acre
property, known as Spring Creek Business Park, will remain zoned for future industrial development.
The subject property has frontage along the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway South and was
recently identified by Staff as a prime location for needed regionally significant general commercial
development.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is currently designated
on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as Urban Center, with a
pending application for amendment to General Commercial.
The proposed General Commercial designation is described in the Comprehensive Plan as
areas intended for concentrations of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents
and to the larger community or region. Generally these areas tend to be large in size, located
near the intersection of two regionally significant roads, and concentrated in nodes within the
community.
The existing Village Center designation was placed on the property in 2012 with the adoption
of the Medical District Master Plan. Since the adoption of that Plan, an Economic
Development Agreement has been executed within the Medical District that limits the City’s
ability to develop the subject property for a Village Center use in the near future. Village
Center is described in the Medical District Master Plan as being for areas intended to provide
a mixture of retail and residential uses, possible with supporting offices in a pedestrian and
bicycle-friendly environment.
Additionally, the City adopted the Economic Development Master Plan in 2012, with an over-
arching goal of a diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the
sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high quality of life. One of the strategic
initiatives for continued economic success is to support retail development by ensuring that
there are opportunities to locate and expand businesses that make College Station a regional
destination for retail services. The stated Master Plan goal for retail is as follows: “The City of
College Station will continue to recognize the significance of retail expenditures to the local
economy and will ensure that locations are ready to accommodate the development of such
opportunities and that the City remains responsive to an ever-changing market.”
If the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use and Character Map amendment to General Commercial, the proposed
rezoning will be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. If the Planning & Zoning
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0694,Version:1
Commission recommends denial of the Map amendment, the rezoning will not be in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property
and with the character of the neighborhood: The properties located immediately to the
north and south are zoned GC General Commercial and are developed as a place of worship
to the north (Christ United Methodist Church) and medical office / clinic to the south (St.
Joseph Regional Health Center). To the east, approximately 225 acres is zoned M-1 Planned
Industrial and is the future Spring Creek Business Park. To the west is the Earl Rudder
Freeway. Proposed general commercial development is compatible with the existing Places of
Worship and medical use located along the East Bypass.
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 property has
over 1,900 feet of undeveloped frontage along State Highway 6 South, and future frontage
along both Lakeway Drive and Pebble Creek Parkway that is suitable for General Commercial
uses such as retail and restaurant.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property
and larger surrounding tract are currently zoned M-1 Planned Industrial. The property is
suitable for light industrial development.
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 subject
property may be marketable with its current zoning of M-1 Planned Industrial, however, the
requested rezoning provides an opportunity for regionally significant commercial development
along freeway frontage, where general commercial land uses are most appropriate.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is available to this
property from an existing 18-inch waterline along State Highway 6, a future 24-inch line along
State Highway 6, and future 12-inch lines along the proposed Lakeway Drive and Pebble
Creek Parkway extensions. There is also an existing 27-inch sewer mains along the southern
boundary that may serve this property. The property is located in the Spring Creek Sewer
Impact Fee area. Drainage is mainly to the southeast. Drainage and other public
infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing and proposed infrastructure appear to be
adequate for the proposed general commercial use at this time.
The subject property has approximately 1,900 feet of frontage on State Highway 6 South,
designated a Freeway/Expressway, approximately 2,000 feet of frontage on the future
Lakeway Drive extension, designated a Major Collector, and approximately 1,300 feet of
frontage along the future Pebble Creek Parkway extension, designated a Major Collector on
the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Access to the site will be from State Highway 6 South, Lakeway
Drive, and Pebble Creek Parkway. An initial analysis of the surrounding transportation system
was completed. A TIA of the tract will be required with the Site Plan.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The City of College
Station Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 2009, followed by the Five-Year Evaluation
in 2014. As part of the evaluation process, several items in Chapter 6-Transportation of the
Comprehensive Plan were identified to be updated. As a result of these updates to Chapter 6 -
College Station, TX Printed on 10/24/2016Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:16-0691,Version:1
Transportation, the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan was also amended in 2015.
There are many changing conditions on the southwest side of College Station, including the
proposal of two new schools within close proximity of an existing elementary school, expanding
residential developments, the planned closure of railroad crossings at Wade Road and Straub
Road by Union Pacific Rail Road in the extra-territorial jurisdiction, and the addition of a railroad
crossing at Greens Prairie Trail which is currently under construction. The City currently has
Capital Improvement Projects for Royder Road and Greens Prairie Trail which are in preliminary
engineering phases. In order to appropriately respond to these changing conditions, Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc. was hired by the City of College Station to analyze the Thoroughfares in this
area.
2.Scope of the request:The amendment to Chapter 6 - Transportation including an updated
Thoroughfare Plan, an updated Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan and associated
maps. Based on the results of the consultant’s analysis, staff is recommending the following:
a)Modify the Thoroughfare Plan to include a railroad crossing and realignment for
Koppe Bridge Road between I&GN Road and Wellborn Road.
b)Realign Royder Road to align with the proposed Koppe Bridge Railroad Crossing.
c)Upgrade the classification of Koppe Bridge Road from a Minor Collector to a Major
Collector to include bike lanes and sidewalks.
d)Downgrade the classification of the future thoroughfare immediately north of
Koppe Bridge Road from a Major Collector to a Minor Collector to include bike routes
and sidewalks.
e)Remove South Dowling Road and Greens Prairie Road West from the
Thoroughfare Plan and bike routes for the portions between I&GN Road and Wellborn
Road.
3.Availability of adequate information:Kimley Horn and Associates were hired in 2016 to
update the City’s TransCAD transportation model. The updated model supports the proposed
changes.
4.Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Plan:This amendment is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as it promotes a safe, efficient, and well-connected multi-
model transportation designed to be sensitive to surrounding land uses.
5.Consideration of the Thoroughfare Plan and Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways
Master Plan:An amendment to the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan is also
included in this Comprehensive Plan amendment, as some of the changes impact location of
sidewalks and bike lanes. The Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Advisory Board unanimously
recommended approval of the presented Alternative No. 3 amendment at their September 6th
meeting.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The existing Context Zones in Chapter 6 -
Transportation would allow for roadways to be designed to be more compatible with the
surrounding areas.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network:There will be no impacts with regard to water, wastewater and
drainage. This amendment will update the City’s transportation plan to ensure adequate

transportation facilities within the planning horizon.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:There will be no
directly associated funding impacts to the City, but future projects will be evaluated accordingly.
9.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:Any environmental impacts
would need to be evaluated as part of any future roadway projects.
10.Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in
the Plan’s vision and goals:This amendment enhances the Plan’s vision and goals by updating
the City’s transportation plans to ensure adequate transportation facilities in the future within the
planning horizon.
