1. Call to Order and Announce a Quorum is Present
With a quorum present, the Workshop of the College Station City Council was called to order by
Mayor Mooney at 3:33 p.m. on Thursday, July 13, 2017 in the Council Chambers of the City of
College Station City Hall, 1101 Texas Avenue, College Station, Texas 7784 0.
2. Presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning the City Internal Auditor’s Fire
Prevention Audit.
Madison Rorshach, Assistant Internal Auditor, reported that the Fire Prevention Division is
compliant with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations and aligns with industry
best practices. The department excels at providing fire education to the public. However, two areas
were identified where operations could be improved. He noted that due to the City’s rapid growth,
the Fire Prevention Division is forced to allocate most of its resources towards new construction
reviews and tests, hindering existing structure inspections. There is no evidence that fires in the
City could have been prevented by direct inspector action; however, this exposes the City to
unidentified hazards and an unknown level of risk. The Fire Prevention Division’s reporting
system currently presents inaccurate and limited fire origin and cause information. This hinders
WKSHP071317 Minutes Page 2
the Division when attempting to conduct needed analysis to evaluate the impact and effectiveness
of Division operations.
The Internal Auditor offered two recommendations that will further aid the Division in addressing
the findings:
Investigate strategies to bolster annual existing inspection activities.
Develop a process to report fire cause and origin information to aid public education and
code enforcement efforts.
3. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Wanda and Bob Meyer
restricted gift fund.
David Schmitz, Director of Parks and Recreation, noted that in 2013, Bob Meyer bequeathed a
portion of his estate to the City of College Station Parks and Recreation Department. The stated
intent of the money was “for the benefit and advancement of programs for senior citizens.” The
restricted fund amount received to date equals $570,245.00.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, Senior Advisory Board, and staff, met and arrived at
several recommendations:
Bob Meyer Annual “Pool Trout Fish Out” (Scheduled for Fall of 2018)
Plaque recognizing Wanda and Bob Meyer for their contribution to the community as well
as their gift to the City. (Completed 2016)
Additional public meeting space with a priority given to Senior Programming
The current plan to use allocated project funds ($363,202) as well as the Wanda and Bob Meyer
gift funds ($570,245) to renovate the Arts Council building to accommodate the needs for
additional public meeting space. Once the Arts Council vacates the building, the building will
renovated to serve as a Community Center with an emphasis on senior programs. The building
will be used by the general public whenever the facility is not being used by senior programming.
4. Executive Session

7. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an overview of the 85th Texas State
Legislature
Jennifer Rodriquez, lobbyist, updated the Council on the outcomes of the 85th Texas State
Legislature and briefed the Council on the upcoming Special Session. 6,631 bills were filed, and
1,211 were sent to the Governor, with 1,008 signed by the Governor. A brief overview of the Stte
budget was also provided. Significant bills that failed included, revenue caps, the bathroom bill,
short term rentals, eminent domain, annexation, and city fees. Significant bills that passed
included a statewide texting ban, statewide TNC regulations, sanctuary cities, right -of-way for
small cell technology, ad TXDOT sunset. Governor Abbott has called a special session of the
Legislature to convene next Tuesday, July 18th at 10 a.m. Special session items that will be of
interest to cities include property tax reform, caps on state and local spending, preventing cities
from regulating what property owners do with trees on private land, preventing local governments
from changing rules midway through construction projects, speeding up local government
permitting process, municipal annexation reform, texting while driving preemption, and privacy.
8. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Rental Registration program.
WKSHP071317 Minutes Page 4
Debbie Eller, Director of Community Services, updated the Council on the Rental Registration
Program. Each owner or real estate manager of Rental Property is required to annually register
the property with the City on a form provided by the Administrator. A new registration is also
required upon any change in the conditions reported through registration. She defined rental
property as any single-family or duplex dwelling that is not owner-occupied, whether or not rent
is charged. Registration can be completed in person, by mail, by phone, or online through
eTRAKit. A process has been developed to allow management companies the ability to have all
properties on the same registration timeline. They can provide a list of all managed rental
properties and City staff works to adjust the renewal schedule so that all properties are on the same
schedule. Data is maintained in TRAKit as a license, and data is accessed to investigate any
violation or complaint. An annual analysis of BCAD data is done to determine properties that
could be subject to the ordinance, but are not currently registered. Challenges to program
management include the identification of rental properties, educating property owners so that they
better understand the use and practicality of the program, and compliance with property owners
registering properties. There are currently 8,323 properties registered. Estimated revenue for
FY17 is $100,727 and estimated FY17 expenses are $108,633.
Staff was directed to bring back to Council a change in the process to move to a one-time
registration (plus anytime there is any change), eliminating the renewal requirement. It was also
suggested to add four-plexes to the initial registration requirement.
9. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding issues related to Experience Bryan
College Station.
This item was pulled from the agenda.

REGULAR AGENDA
1. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the rejection of the low bid from
Texcon General Contractors, and the approval of contract 17300449 with Brazos Paving,
Inc. for the construction and or installation of One Inch Overlay With Specialty Mix as
needed for an amount not to exceed $472,000.
Donald Harmon, Director of Public Works, reported that the City and Brazos County went out for
a joint bid on the construction and/or installation of One Inch Overlay With Specialty Mix as
needed. The lowest bidder, Texcon General Contractors, is not recommended to award this
contract due to the fact that Texcon does not meet one or more of the criteria in Sect. 2269.055
Texas Government Code, including Texcon’s experience and reputation in performing projects for
the City. Therefore, Texcon General Contractors is not considered the lowest responsible bidder.
A notice of non-award was sent to Texcon on May 30, 2017. The next lowest responsible bidder
was Brazos Paving, Inc. The City of College Station has completed the evaluation of the Joint Bid
17-287 with Brazos County, and is recommending award of our portion to Brazos Paving, Inc. for
an amount not to exceed $472,000.00.
Robertson Neal, attorney for Texcon, protested the recommendation. He stated it was important
to Texcon that Council receive additional information and provided a list of private projects
performed within College Station. Within the last three years, Texcon has done work for TXDOT,
RM071317 Minutes Page 5
City of Bryan, Brazos County, and TAMU, mainly within the city limits of College Station. All
have been approved by College Station City inspectors. He said they are competent and sought
after. They want to do business with College Station.
Staff recommends rejecting the bid from Texcon General Contractors based on a prior experience
with Texcon. The owner and a City employee were found guilty of theft of City funds. Mr. Neal
noted that the owner received deferred adjudication and met the terms of his plea bargain.
Staff is in the process of drafting a policy regarding the eligibility of bidders/vendors who have
perpetrated a crime against the City and the taxpayers.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Brick and a second by Mayor Mooney, the
City Council voted six (6) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Schultz voting against,
to reject the low bid from Texcon General Contractors, and approve contract 17300449 with
Brazos Paving, Inc. for the construction and or installation of One Inch Overlay With Specialty
Mix as needed for an amount not to exceed $472,000. The motion carried.
2. Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the rejection of the bid from
Texcon General Contractors, and the approval of contract 17300391 with Palasota
Contracting, LLC for Southwest Parkway Drainage Improvements in an amount not to
exceed $286,088.
Donald Harmon, Director of Public Works, noted this item is similar to the previous item, and staff
is recommending rejection of the low bidder based upon the same considerations as before. The
next lowest responsible bidder for the project was Palasota Contracting, LLC and is being
recommended to be awarded the contract in an amount not to exceed $286,088.00.
Robertson Neal, attorney for Texcon, reminded Council that the owner has never been convicted
of anything.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Brick and a second by Mayor Mooney, the
City Council voted six (6) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Schultz voting against,
to reject the low bid from Texcon General Contractors, and approve contract 17300391 with
Palasota Contracting, LLC for Southwest Parkway Drainage Improvements in an amount not to
exceed $286,088. The motion carried.
3. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017-
3896, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing
the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to RS Restricted Suburban and GS General
Suburban for approximately 2.43 acres being Pebble Creek Phase 2C, Block 20 and Block
21, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas, located at 5101 & 5201 Pebble Creek
Parkway, more generally located at the intersection of Pebble Creek Parkway & Champions
Boulevard.
Jennifer Paz, Planning and Development, noted that the applicant has requested a rezoning from
Rural to Restricted Suburban (Block 21, 1.08 acres) and General Suburban (Block 20, 1.35 acres)
to allow for the future subdivision of the property.
RM071317 Minutes Page 6
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 15, 2017 meeting and acted
on each block individually. The Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning
for Block 21 with the condition that a 25’ buffer be provided along Champions Boulevard. The
recommendation to approve the rezoning of Block 20 failed (3-3). The Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) states that any recommendation to the City Council without a majority of
positive votes from members of the Planning & Zoning Commission shall be deemed a negative
report.
Veronica Morgan, Mitchell and Morgan Engineering, representing Pebble Creek Development
Company, further clarified the re-zoning request and reported on meetings with neighborhood
associations and agreed upon restictions.
David Dixon, attorney for Pebble Creek Development Company, stated that a signed copy of the
affidavit has been found. To minimize the tax burden, the appraised values were reduced to zero
the past three years, and the owner maintained the property as open space. The property has been
re-appraised, and they are now paying taxes.
At approximately 9:16 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
John Guido, Pebble Creek Subdivision, stated that a re-zoning request was first submitted by Mr.
Young and was dropped when he died. He referenced a computer reference number on the
affidavit; the assessment board had a copy for evidence. He noted that the lots were marketed as
green space to prospective home buyers. The owners received tax relief based on this. They are
breaking promises made to the homeowners. He noted that the two supportive letters both mention
their desire to maintain the lots as green space.
Brian Bochner, Pebble Creek Subdivision, noted that the letter from Pebble Creek Homeowners
Association stated their desire to maintain the lots as greenspace, but if the re-zoning is approved
then they wanted certain conditions. He also noted a letter sent to the Appraisal District,
confirming the assessed valuations. By virtue of their not paying taxes for three years, others had
to subsidize the tax burden. Audience members in opposition were called upon to stand to show
their opposition.
Ed Brady, Stone Briar subdivision, said the sanitation department would pick up in the alley, but
would need permission from Council to back up more than 100 feet.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:28 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Rektorik and a second by Councilmember
Schultz, the City Council voted six (6) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Brick voting
against, to separate the question, voting on each block separately. The motion carried.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted six (6) for and one (1) opposed, with Councilmember Brick
voting against, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3896, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development
Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from Rural to Restricted
RM071317 Minutes Page 7
Suburban for Pebble Creek Phase 2C, Block 21, of the Official Records of Brazos County, Texas,
located at 5201 Pebble Creek Parkway, more generally located at the intersection of Pebble Creek
Parkway and Champions Boulevard, subject to a 25’ buffer off Champions Blvd. The motion
carried.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Rektorik and a second by Councilmember
Schultz, the City Council voted five (5) for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmembers Brick and
Harvell voting against, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3896, amending Chapter 12, "Unified
Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of
the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from Rural to
General Suburban for Pebble Creek Phase 2C, Block 20, of the Official Records of Brazos County,
Texas, located at 5101 Pebble Creek Parkway, more generally located at the intersection of Pebble
Creek Parkway and Champions Boulevard, subject to a 25’ buffer. The motion carried.
Mayor Mooney recessed the meeting at 10:13 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 10:19 p.m.
4. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017-
3897, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by amending
Ordinance number 2012-3404 adopted on or about April 26, 2012 which created a PDD
Planned Development District by making changes to a portion of such district known as
Harper's Crossing, Block 1, Lot 2 located at 2849 Barron Road by amending the uses and
requirements thereof.
Jennifer Paz, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant has requested an amendment to
the existing Planned Development District and associated concept plan to allow for the
development of fuel sales. The existing base zoning of C-3 Light Commercial allows for the
development of two fuel pumps, although the adopted concept plan did not account for the land
use. The request is to keep the C-3 Light Commercial standards as the base zoning district of the
PDD, but to allow for the use of four fuel pumps and the development of a fuel sales area on the
concept plan. Additional development standards are proposed to mitigate the impact of fuel sales
and fuel canopy on the neighboring properties and to provide community benefits that achieve the
goals and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 15 meeting, and the motion
to recommend approval failed by a vote of 5-1. Staff is recommending approval.
Mike Gentry, representing the property owners, provided a brief history on the development of the
property. The list of original permitted uses includes fuel sales, but the concept plan did not reflect
that. They are proposing to double the setback, as well as constructing an eight foot masonry
fence. On top of that, canopy trees will also serve to mitigate any light impact.
At approximately 10:41 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
Anita Whitley, Sonoma Subdivision, stated her opposition to a gas station and convenience store.
She is opposed to fuel sales, regardless of whether it is two pumps or four. She is concerned about
RM071317 Minutes Page 8
noise and light pollution and traffic congestion. It will take many years for the canopy trees to
grow. She is also concerned about alcohol sales to neighborhood minors and safety due to the
rising number of convenience store robberies.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 10:45 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Benham and a second by Mayor Mooney,
the City Council voted none (0) for and seven (7) opposed, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3897,
amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map,"
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by amending Ordinance number
2012-3404 adopted on or about April 26, 2012 which created a PDD Planned Development District
by making changes to a portion of such district known as Harper's Crossing, Block 1, Lot 2 located
at 2849 Barron Road by amending the uses and requirements thereof. The motion failed.
5. Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Ordinance 2017-
3898, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official
Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing
the zoning district boundaries from MF Multi-Family and GC General Commercial to MF
Multi-Family and GC General Commercial for approximately 17.8 acres generally located
at the northeast corner of the intersection of Turkey Creek Road and Raymond Stotzer
Frontage Road.
Councilmember Moore recused himself from this item.
Mark Bombeck, Planning and Development, stated that the request is to adjust the zoning district
boundary between the subject properties. The land use composition for the 17.8 acre tract is
requested to be adjusted as follows; 12 acres Multi-Family and 5.8 acres General Commercial to
13.2 Multi-Family and 4.6 acres General Commercial.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their June 15, 2017 meeting and voted
6-0 to recommend approval.
At approximately 10:54 p.m., Mayor Mooney opened the Public Hearing.
There being no comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 10:54 p.m.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Schultz and a second by Councilmember
Rektorik, the City Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed, with Councilmember Moore
recusing himself, to adopt Ordinance 2017-3898, amending Chapter 12, "Unified Development
Ordinance," Section 12-4.2, "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from Multi-Family and General
Commercial to Multi-Family and General Commercial for approximately 17.8 acres generally
located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Turkey Creek Road and Raymond Stotzer
Frontage Road. The motion carried.
6. Presentation, possible action, and discussion on future agenda items and review of
standing list of Council generated agenda items: A Council Member may inquire about a
subject for which notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or
RM071317 Minutes Page 9
the recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal

of Bryan and any annexation to our boundary. He also asked to see the status on our laws as they

17-0357 - FY17 BA #2 List
The proposed budget amendment is to increase the FY17 budget for the items listed below by $584,700.
Contingency transfers greater than $100,000 require Council approval and are therefore included as part of
this Budget Amendment.
1. Project Manager – Vertical Design and Construction position ($25,000 Budget Amendment and 1.0
FTE)
The City Manager’s Office (CMO) has identified the need for a Project Manager position that will be
responsible for the management of the City’s vertical capital projects. The purpose of this position is to
lead, direct and manage the planning, development, design and construction of new building/facility
and building/facility renovation projects for the City of College Station. The primary role of the
professional who fills this position is to collaborate and coordinate directly with the Department
Director or Chief at the City who will ultimately manage the staff, operations and/or programs to be
located at this facilities and ensure projects remain on schedule and within budget. Examples of
projects include the new Police Station, the renovation of the existing Police Station, the Library
expansion, a future Fire Station, the Arts Council Building Renovation, renovations to the Utilities
Building and a future City Hall. The requested budget amendment amount reflects an estimated three
months of salary and benefits as well as office furniture and supplies that will be needed. The budget
amendment also adds 1.0 FTE to the FY17 Revised Budget. The funds for this item are available in the
General Fund balance. The position has been forecasted and will be included in FY18 Proposed Budget.
2. Public Works Milling Machine - $550,800 (Budget Amendment)
The milling machine is critical for the pavement operations of the Streets Division and is scheduled for
replacement via the Equipment Replacement Fund in FY18. Parts on the machine have been failing
and repairs are needed. The cost of repairs and the rental of a similar unit while the unit is being
repaired will exceed the expected trade-in value. Public Works has proposed to replace the milling
machine in FY17, as this is only a few months ahead of the scheduled replacement. The total purchase
price will be $550,800. The funds for this item are available in the Equipment Replacement Fund and
have been forecasted for the replacement of this vehicle.
3. Sidewalk Zone 15 - $8,900 (Budget Amendment)
The FY17 Approved Budget included $11,500 for sidewalk projects in Sidewalk Zone 15. The budget
was based on the amount that was in the Fund at that time. Additional contributions have since been
received, bringing the Fund balance to approximately $20,400. This item will increase the budget in
Sidewalk Zone 15 so that these funds can be used on an eligible project. The funds will be used toward
the design of the sidewalks and multiuse paths that will be constructed as part of the Holleman Drive
South street extension project. The funds for this item are available in the Sidewalk Zone 15 fund
balance.
4. City Hall Complex Facility Renovations - $125,000 (Contingency Transfer)
Ongoing space limitations in the City Hall facility resulted in the transition of the Community Services
Department into off-site lease space and the subsequent transition of the Human Resources
Department into the space previously occupied by Community Services. The new Human Resources
space, as well as the former Human Resources space, required renovations prior to the space being
ready to be occupied. This item is for the transfer of General Fund contingency in the amount of
$125,000 for the cost of the renovations. As contingency transfers greater than $100,000 must be
approved by Council, this item is for the approval of these contingency transfers.

located North of Raintree Drive along Earl Rudder Freeway South. Case #CPA2017-000005.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Neighborhood Integrity
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of
the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map at their meeting on
July 6, 2017.
Summary: The applicant has requested the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map amendment to General Commercial as a step toward marketing the property for a
broader range of commercial uses that otherwise would not be permitted by the current zoning and
future land use designation. The property owner has made several attempts to generate interest in
this property while working to provide protection to the adjacent Raintree Subdivision. The
applicant believes the current request, which includes an amendment to the current zoning on the
property, is the best option to further market the property to commercial uses, but also allows for
mitigation that helps protect the existing residents adjacent to the property.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject
property and adjacent properties to the south are designated as Suburban Commercial and
General Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. Properties
to the north are identified as Natural Areas Reserved and General Commercial
This tract was identified as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan due to its
adjacency to an existing single-family neighborhood. However, its location along a major state
highway would garner General Commercial land uses that are more serving to the region rather
than Suburban Commercial land uses that are smaller scale and appropriate for residential areas.
Much of the corridor along Earl Rudder Freeway has been given the same designation of
Suburban Commercial due to its adjacency to existing residential areas. Recently the City has
recognized that some of the land may not be suitable and or marketable for Suburban
Commercial and has taken efforts to proactively identify properties that would be more
appropriately designated General Commercial. One example being the most recent amendments
made near Emerald Parkway and Corsair Drive.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map designation for approximately 3.34 acres from Suburban Commercial to
General Commercial. If approved by City Council, the applicant intends to pursue a rezoning of
the property from SC Suburban Commercial to GC General Commercial. A request for rezoning
was submitted for consideration and will be heard following this item.
3.Availability of adequate information:General Commercial land use designation allows
for the future development of commercial activities, including retail sale and service uses, which
serve the nearby residents and larger community or region. Properties in this area are served by
College Station Utilities (CSU). Domestic water and sanitary sewer service is available to serve
the future development in this area, but additional infrastructure improvements may be needed
with site development. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was completed for the previous
amendments to the zoning in 2009. The area of land proposed in this amendment as General
Commercial was not enough land to trigger a new study at this time. A new TIA may be required
with the Site Plan once uses for the property have been further established. No additional traffic
information was needed for consideration of this amendment or the proposed zoning amendment.
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. A relevant strategy identified to achieve this goal is to develop
and maintain, through regular review, a land use plan that identifies, establishes, and enhances
community character. The subject area is near property zoned GC General Commercial. This
land use will also be more compatible with the Suburban Commercial land use and zoning that is
being retained at the rear of this tract. The retention of the Suburban Commercial will act as a
step down land use transitioning from commercial to the residential property and will provide
some additional protections due to the enhanced development restrictions that currently exist with
Suburban Commercial development standards.
Additionally, the economic development goals in College Station are to provide a diversified
economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the sales and property tax base; and
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 2 of 4

File #:17-0364,Version:1
contributing to a high quality of life. A relevant strategy identified to achieve these goals is to
promote and support new investments that serve regional market opportunities. City staff has
identified areas along State Highway 6 to provide opportunity for businesses that need highway
access. While there will not be a City initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment for this area, as
properties closest to State Highway 6 are currently zoned GC General Commercial, staff
recognizes the value of having General Commercial on the Future Land Use and Character Map
at this location. The Map is conceptual in nature and this amendment will allow for the subject
property to be rezoned keeping in character with adjacent property to the north.
The current designation of Suburban Commercial is suitable for commercial uses that serve the
nearby community and are compatible with residential uses. Since surrounding properties are
currently entitled for a broader range of uses than would be allowed with Suburban Commercial,
an amendment to the Future Land Use and Character Map will be more in line with existing
entitled uses and the regional opportunity provided by proximity to State Highway 6.
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:The
subject property is currently designated as Suburban Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use and Character Map. The proposed amendment is to General Commercial.
The current land use of Suburban Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial
activities that cater primarily to nearby residents versus the larger community or region. Generally,
these areas tend to be small in size and located adjacent to major roads (arterials and collectors).
Design of Suburban Commercial structures is compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture,
and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential use.
The proposed land use of General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial
activities that cater both to nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally,
these areas tend to be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant
roads (arterials and freeways).
Earl Rudder Freeway South is designated as a Highway/Freeway on the City’s Thoroughfare
Plan. Given its location, and that the subject tract retains Suburban Commercial adjacent to the
single-family homes, the subject property is suitable for a General Commercial land use
designation.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The proposed amendment to General
Commercial would allow for the property to be zoned for commercial uses that serve the
general community and region. Properties to the north, along the frontage road and are
currently zoned GC General Commercial or developed as commercial uses guided by a PDD
Planned Development District. The rear portion of the subject property is again being retained
as Suburban Commercial to act as a step down land use to the adjacent General Suburban
land uses.
Amending the Comprehensive Plan to General Commercial in this area would be more in line
with the existing zoning in the area. A Comprehensive Plan Designation of Suburban
Commercial would require the retention of the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district on the
entire property and would reduce the marketability for potential users given the more stringent
development standards that are intended for smaller scale community or neighborhood
services.

File #:17-0364,Version:1
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: Water service will be served by College Station Utilities. There is an
existing 12-inch waterline along frontage of Earl Rudder Freeway. Sewer service is available via
existing 15-inch sewer main running through the northern portion of the subject property.
Additionally, the property is in the Wolf Pen Creek drainage basin. Sites are generally draining
to the North. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services:The proposed
amendment for the subject property does not negatively impact the City’s ability to provide,
fund, and maintain services.
9.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas:The proposed amendment
for the subject property does not negatively impact environmentally sensitive and natural areas or
does not prevent the preservation of such areas.
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 Suburban Commercial to General Commercial on approximately 3.34 acres is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan.

REVIEW CRITERIA
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0365,Version:1
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map. The Suburban Commercial designation is intended for commercial
activities that cater primarily to nearby residents and are areas that tend to be small in size and
located adjacent to major roadways. The design of structures in this land use are intended to be
compatible in size, roof type and pitch, architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single
-family residential uses. The Natural Areas - Reserved designation is intended for areas that
should be preserved for their natural function or open space qualities. As a part of the zoning
request the applicant is also requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change
the future land use for the front portion of the property designation to General Commercial.
Should the land use designation amendment be approved the applicant’s request to rezone the
property to GC General Commercial would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Should
the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan be denied the rezoning is no longer consistent
with the future land use designation and staff would not be supporting the request to rezone.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood: The property was previously zoned as SC Suburban
Commercial in 2013 to allow for the development of businesses that are contextually appropriate
given the subject property’s proximity to the Raintree Subdivision. In 2016, the applicant
requested a change to zoning through a request for a PDD with a base zoning district of SC
Suburban Commercial that was modified to allow uses allowed in a General Commercial zoning
district due to its access and visibility to Texas State Highway 6. The request was ultimately
denied by City Council due to incompatibility with the adjacent Raintree Neighborhood. The
current request is seeking to limit the General Commercial zoning to the front 3 acres of the
property immediately adjacent to the frontage road. In the previous rezoning, City Council made
comments in regards to a General Commercial zoning being more appropriate for the front portion
and leaving the remainder of the lot as Suburban Commercial in order to maintain a higher
development standard adjacent to the existing single family homes. This request is a result of
those comments and is more appropriate as it expands the development opportunities of this
property with consideration to its adjacency to Earl Rudder Freeway South and filling a need for
regionally serving commercial businesses along the bypass. Maintaining a Suburban Commercial
zoning adjacent to the existing residential keeps additional restrictions on development to mitigate
the impact posed on the adjacent neighborhood, making the request more compatible with uses
surrounding the property.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the districts
that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed rezoning is
appropriate for this area due to its location on the frontage road of Earl Rudder Freeway South.
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: It has been understood
that this property is suitable for commercial uses though the intensity of commercial has been the
discussion on this property for some time. Due to the subject property’s location and visibility
along Earl Rudder Freeway it would traditionally be appropriate to have more regionally serving
general commercial uses. However, with the tract’s adjacency to the Raintree Neighborhood, it
would be appropriate to have uses that were more in line with our Suburban Commercial District.
Rezoning only the front portion of the property for General Commercial would open up
opportunities to market the property for more regionally serving commercial development as
typically seen along the Freeway, and preserve the existing Suburban Commercial zoning at the
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 2 of 3

File #:17-0365,Version:1
back portion of the lot to provide development restrictions to aid in protecting the existing homes
that are located within the Raintree Neighborhood.
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 be
marketed under the current zoning which allows for commercial uses appropriate for land
adjacent to a single-family neighborhood. The owner claims that the proposed rezoning that not
only allows uses permitted under SC Suburban Commercial but also additional uses allowed
under GC General Commercial will help increase the marketability and development of the
property.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There is an existing 12-inch water main adjacent
to the tract along Earl Rudder Freeway South. There is also a 15-inch sanitary sewer main
running through the northern portion of the property. Drainage is generally to the north within the
Wolf Pen Creek Drainage Basin. The property is currently not encumbered by FEMA Special
Flood Hazard Area. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site development shall
be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Existing
infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed use.
The subject tract will take access from Earl Rudder Freeway South (Freeway/Expressway),
pending TxDOT approval. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was completed for the previous PDD
request in 2009. Due to the intensity of uses not increasing when factoring the base zoning
district, a new TIA may be required with the Site Plan once uses for the property have been
further established.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
·Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 6th regular
meeting. The Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the request.
Summary: The applicant has requested the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map amendment to General Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved as a step toward
requesting a rezoning to allow for the tract to develop with a mix of residential and non-residential
uses.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: As can be seen in
Figure 1 below, the majority of the area spanning from Texas Avenue to Texas State Highway 6,
along Harvey Mitchell Parkway is designated as Urban and Natural Areas Reserved on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. There are additional areas to the
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0366,Version:1
north and west that are called out to anticipate Suburban Commercial and General Commercial
uses along Harvey Mitchell Parkway.
This tract was given an urban designation due to its adjacency to existing commercial uses and
other properties that were entitled for other non-residential uses. This area was also identified on
the Comprehensive Plan as the Harvey Mitchell District which identifies this area as being a
primary gateway into the core of College Station. The plan promotes urban development and
emphasizes preservation of natural features to enhance this gateway. The property is already
entitled for commercial uses under its current zoning designation, as P-MUD Planned Mixed Use
Development, but due to the applicant’s desire to not require residential on this particular tract, an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was requested. In addition to the change in the
applicant’s plans for the property, an economic development agreement was recently approved
by City Council that is furthering progress in extending Dartmouth Street through this tract. This
connection will ultimately tie into Texas Avenue providing additional frontage and access through
this area. The additional roadway frontage promotes development of general commercial uses by
providing more access that is desired by commercial uses.
Figure 1
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designation for approximately 12.5 acres from Urban and Natural Areas
Reserved to General Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved. If approved by City Council, the
applicant intends to pursue a rezoning of this portion of the property from P-MUD Planned Mixed
Use Development to GC General Commercial and NAP Natural Areas Protected. The area of
Natural Areas Reserved is essentially remaining the same with this request-a rezoning will
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0366,Version:1
provide more accurate information to the floodplain line. A request for rezoning was submitted for
consideration and will be heard following this item.
3.Availability of adequate information:General Commercial land use designation plans for
the future development of the tract to be commercial activities, including retail sales and service
uses, which serve the nearby residents and larger community or region. The Natural Areas
Reserved designation is intended to protect environmentally sensitive or flood prone areas for
their natural function or open space quality.
Properties in this area are served by College Station Utilities (CSU). Domestic water and sanitary
sewer service are available to serve the future development in this area, but additional
infrastructure improvements may be needed with site development. A new TIA may be required
with the Site Plan once uses for the property have been further established. No additional traffic
information was needed for consideration of this amendment or the proposed zoning amendment.
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. A relevant strategy identified to achieve this goal is to develop
and maintain, through regular review, a land use plan that identifies, establishes, and enhances
community character. The subject area is near property zoned GC General Commercial. This
land use will also be consistent with the General Commercial land use that exists to the northeast
across Harvey Mitchell Parkway South. The amendment is also consistent with the properties that
are already entitled for commercial zoning along the frontage road for Earl Rudder Freeway and
Texas Avenue.
Additionally, the goals of economic development in College Station are to provide a diversified
economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; bolstering the sales and property tax base; and
contributing to a high quality of life. A relevant strategy identified to achieve this goal is to promote
and support new investments that serve regional market opportunities. City staff has identified
areas throughout the city to provide opportunity for businesses that need highway access. While
there will not be a City initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment for this area, staff recognizes
the value of having General Commercial on the Future Land Use and Character Map at this
entryway into the core of College Station. This amendment will allow for the subject property to be
rezoned keeping in character with the planned and entitled uses in the surrounding area.
The current designation of Urban is suitable for the area; however, a zoning to commercial is only
allowed if the Urban designation is within a growth area, which this property is not. Since
surrounding properties are currently entitled for a broader range of uses than would be allowed
with Urban, an amendment to the Future Land Use and Character Map will be more in line with
existing entitled uses.
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans:The
subject property is currently designated as Urban and Natural Areas Reserved on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map. The proposed amendment is to
General Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved.
The current land use of Urban is intended for areas that should have a very intense level of
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0366,Version:1
development activity typically consisting of high density residential (i.e. Townhomes, Duplexes, or
high-density apartments). The Natural Areas - Reserved designation is intended for areas that
should be preserved for their natural function or open space qualities.
The proposed land use of General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial
activities that cater both to nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally,
these areas tend to be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant
roads (arterials and freeways).
The subject property has frontage to Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) and TxDOT permits will
be required for future driveway and street access to it. On May 25, 2017, Council approved a
Development Agreement with the applicant regarding the extension of Dartmouth Street south of
Harvey Mitchell Parkway across an adjacent tract and through the subject property. A traffic
impact analysis (TIA) was provided with the request. It found that the intersection with Harvey
Mitchell Parkway (proposed 6-lane Major Arterial) and Dartmouth Street (proposed 2-lane Major
Collector) should be considered for a traffic signal that would be designed and constructed by the
City and other potential access along Harvey Mitchell will need consideration as right-in/right-out
driveways.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The proposed amendment to Urban, General
Commercial and Natural Areas Reserved would allow for the property to be zoned for
commercial uses that serve the general community and region. Properties to the north and
southwest, are currently zoned GC General Commercial or developed as commercial retail
sales and service uses. Given the entitled status of the surrounding properties it is unlikely that
they would rezone to residential uses that would conform to the Comprehensive Plan land use
designation. This request is more compatible given its direct frontage to Harvey Mitchell
Parkway South and its close proximity to Earl Rudder Freeway South.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: Water service will be served by City of College Station. There is an
existing 24-inch waterline along Harvey Mitchell Parkway that the development may utilize to
extend and serve the property. Sanitary Sewer service is available via existing 18-inch sewer
main running along Bee Creek Tributary that is planned to be upsized to a 30-inch sewer main.
Subject tracts are in the Bee Creek Drainage Basin. Sites are draining to Bee Creek Tributary.
Detention will be required with each site development. Drainage and other public infrastructure
required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS

of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from GS General Suburban, P-MUD

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
·Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their July 6th regular
meeting. The Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the request.
Summary: This request is amending the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone
approximately 28 acres of land to Multi-Family, GC General Commercial with OV Corridor Overlay,
and Natural Areas Protected. This zoning request is in conjunction with a request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan from Urban and Natural Areas Reserved to General Commercial and Natural
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0367,Version:1
Areas Reserved as a future land use for a portion of the tract. Both applications are being requested
as the initial steps to creating a development with a mix of residential and non-residential uses.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as Urban
and Natural Areas Reserved on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map.
In addition to the Future Land Use designations, the tract is also included under the Harvey
Mitchell District which is a district that should emphasize the preservation of existing natural
features and the promotion of urban development at a major entryway into the core of the City.
The Urban designation is intended for areas that should have a very intense level of
development activity typically consisting of high density residential (i.e. Townhomes, Duplexes,
or high-density apartments). The Natural Areas - Reserved designation is intended for areas that
should be preserved for their natural function or open space qualities.
As a part of the zoning request the applicant is also requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation for a portion of the property to
General Commercial. The current land use designation does not support a general commercial
zoning, thus resulting in the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is in support of this
amendment as the existing P-MUD Planned Mixed Use Development zoning allows for
commercial uses when incorporated with residential. There are also a number of surrounding
tracts that are zoned for commercial or office uses, making a rezoning for commercial consistent
with the overall land use pattern of the area. Should the land use designation amendment be
approved the applicant’s request to rezone the property to GC General Commercial with OV
Corridor Overlay, MF Multi-Family, and NAP Natural Areas Protected would be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. Should the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan be denied, the
rezoning for the General Commercial portion is no longer consistent with the future land use
designation and staff would not be supporting the request to rezone that portion.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: A major portion of the property is zoned GS General
Suburban, the remainder as O Office and P-MUD Planned Mixed Use Development with OV
Corridor Overlay. The overlay was placed on the property with the previous rezoning with the
intention to provide additional enhancements with this area being deemed a primary entry into
College Station under the Harvey Mitchell District Plan. In order to provide these enhancements,
the overlay gives additional restrictions to signage, building and parking setbacks, use of colors,
and additional specific use standards.
The area bound between Texas State Highway 6, Texas Avenue, and Harvey Mitchell Parkway is
largely undeveloped with some existing commercial uses bordering Highway 6 and Texas
Avenue. South of the greenway is a small residential neighborhood with limited access to the
Highway frontage road and an existing mobile home park accessible by Texas Avenue. The
present zoning of GS General Suburban, while compatible with the existing character, is not
significantly compatible with the zoning entitled on the land surrounding the tract. Due to the more
intense nature of commercial zoning, General Suburban is not a land use of equal scale or
density. Amending the zoning to a higher density Multi-Family zoning would not only be consistent
with the anticipated land uses for this area, but would also more compatible with the existing land
that is entitled to develop with more intense commercial land uses such as the recently approved
4-story hotel taking access from Texas Avenue and Morgan’s Lane. Natural Areas Protected will

File #:17-0367,Version:1
help to buffer the existing single family uses from the urban and commercial uses closer to
Harvey Mitchell Parkway.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The proposed
rezoning is appropriate for this area due to its location along Harvey Mitchell Parkway South.
Additionally, looking at the longer range plan for this area, this property will also be involved in the
effort to extend Dartmouth Street (future 2-lane Major Collector) across Harvey Mitchell Parkway
which will ultimately extend to Texas Avenue aligning with Brothers Boulevard. The addition of
this road eliminates the overall suitability of a lower density single-family zoning and is more
appropriate for growth of more intense residential and non-residential land uses. The preservation
of the greenway with Natural Areas Protected will preserve the floodplain and floodway.
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: Due to the
subject property’s location and access to Harvey Mitchell Parkway, Earl Rudder Freeway and
Texas Avenue, it would traditionally be appropriate to have more regionally serving general
commercial uses and compatible residential uses that are higher in density. The proposed
rezoning is more compatible with the entitled land surrounding the tract and is consistent with the
long range vision for this area.
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
be marketed under the current zoning which allows for commercial and residential uses.
However, due to the long range plans and the efforts of many individuals and property owners in
the area, an amendment to allow land uses that are more urban in nature would increase the
marketability of property in a very underutilized area of the city that is considered to be a primary
entry into the core of College Station.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service will be served by City of College
Station. There’s an existing 24-inch waterline along Harvey Mitchell Parkway that the
development may utilize to extend and serve the properties.
Sanitary Sewer service is available via existing 18-inch sewer main running along Bee Creek
Tributary that is planned to be upsized to a 30-inch sewer main. Development is currently limited
on the amount of units that can connect to the existing 18-inch sewer main until the existing 18-
inch sewer main is upsized to the master plan’s 30-inch sewer main. The upsized 30-inch sewer
main is planned to be completed before the completion of subject tracts’ full development. All
other infrastructure appear to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed rezoning. Please
note that completion of the 30-inch sewer main is subject to approval of the engineering design
contract by City Council on July 13th, and City Council approval of the subsequent construction
contract.
Subject tracts are in the Bee Creek Drainage Basin. Sites are draining to Bee Creek Tributary.
Detention will be required with each site development. Drainage and other public infrastructure
required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS
Unified Design Guidelines.

The subject property has frontage to Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) and TxDOT permits will
be required for future driveway and street access to it. On May 25, 2017, Council approved a
Development Agreement with the applicant regarding the extension of Dartmouth Street south of
Harvey Mitchell Parkway across an adjacent tract and through the subject property. A traffic
impact analysis (TIA) was provided with the request. It found that the intersection with Harvey
Mitchell Parkway and Dartmouth Street should be considered for a traffic signal that would be
designed and constructed by the City and other potential access along Harvey Mitchell will need
consideration as right-in/right-out driveways.

of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from CI Commercial Industrial to GC

more generally located on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, north of Harvey Road. Case #REZ2017-
000018.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s):The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017
meeting and their recommendation will be presented during the presentation of this item. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning.
Summary:The proposed City-initiated rezoning from CI Commercial Industrial to GC General Commercial is
to allow for infill commercial redevelopment opportunities along Earl Rudder Freeway. The intent of pursuing
rezoning at this time is to fully entitle the property for general commercial uses encouraging redevelopment of
the site. The property is located on the east side of Earl Rudder Freeway, a location appropriate for general
commercial development.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject area is designated on the
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0373,Version:1
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as General Commercial.
The 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 proposed rezoning is in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
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.”
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with
the character of the neighborhood: The surrounding properties are zoned GC General Commercial
and developed as such.
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 approximately 300
feet of frontage on Earl Rudder Freeway South Frontage Road. Earl Rudder Freeway South is College
Station’s most regionally significant road and properties in this area are generally 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: Because of its size, location,
and access to Earl Rudder Freeway Frontage Road, the property is suitable for GC 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 is currently zoned
CI Commercial Industrial and is currently used as self-storage, a permitted use in both CI and GC.
When the property was zoned CI and developed, College Station’s zoning was cumulative within the
non-residential districts, allowing both CI and GC uses in the CI district. The property is suitable for CI
uses, but because of its location, is more appropriate for GC uses.
Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable
and adequate for the proposed use: An 18-inch water line exists along Earl Rudder Freeway and an
8-inch exists within the site. An 8-inch sewer line exists through the property. Existing infrastructure
appears to be adequate for the proposed general commercial use at this time, however, water and
sewer may need to be upgraded depending on demands of future redevelopment on the site.
Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site redevelopment shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject property has approximately 300 feet of frontage on Earl Rudder Freeway South, a
Freeway/Expressway on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not required
for the rezoning of this property from CI Commercial Industrial to GC General Commercial. A TIA may
be required at the time of site redevelopment depending upon the intensity of the proposed
redeveloped use.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s):The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017
meeting and their recommendation will be presented during the presentation of this item. Staff recommends
approval of the amendment to the Future Land Use and Character Map.
Summary: The proposed City-initiated Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map
amendment from General Suburban to General Commercial is for approximately 100 acres located along the
east side of State Highway 6 South. As growth and development moves further south, single-family homes are
not appropriate adjacent to a freeway. The Natural Areas in the area of the floodplain will remain designated
as it is today.
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 General Suburban
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0374,Version:1
on the Future Land Use and Character Map.
A portion of the area is identified on the Comprehensive Plan Concept Map as a part of “Growth Area
I.” According to the Comprehensive Plan, "Growth areas exhibit opportunities for new development. In
general, these areas are greenfields, located beyond the influence area of existing neighborhoods and
not intended to be within a district or corridor. These areas will be the most market responsive areas;
that is, they will offer the greatest level of land use flexibility. This flexibility will be accompanied by
proscriptive land use and design guidance that will ensure the resulting development furthers the
City’s overall goals and objectives.”
The Comprehensive Plan states that this area “consists of land adjacent to State Highway 6
bounded by the Speedway District to the south, the Pebble Creek area to the north and the Lick Creek
Corridor to the east. This area should exhibit a suburban character overall. The streams, related
riparian areas and floodplains shall be left intact and undisturbed except where utility placements,
recreation facilities, or street crossings are necessary.”
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 Earl Rudder Freeway, the City’s primary
commercial corridor. The subject property is one of the areas that City staff identified as an
opportunity for future commercial development along the Freeway.
2.Scope of the request: Staff proposes to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map for an area that is approximately 100 acres from General Suburban to General
Commercial. The Natural Areas designation shown in the middle of the property will remain. The
intent of the amendment is to permit and encourage future general commercial 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 over
5,500 feet of frontage along Earl Rudder Freeway.
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.
City staff has identified the undeveloped frontage as a future commercial development opportunity
along Earl Rudder Freeway, the City’s primary commercial corridor. The portion of the property
proposed for General Commercial use is located furthest from the existing residential uses.
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
property is currently designated as General Suburban on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map. The proposed amendment is to General Commercial.
The current land use of General Suburban is intended for high density single-family use. The
proposed land use of General Commercial is intended for concentrations of commercial activities that
cater both to nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to
be large in size and located near the intersection of two regionally significant roads (arterials and
freeways).
Earl Rudder Freeway South is designated as a Highway/Freeway on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan.
Given its location, the subject property is suitable for a General Commercial land use designation.
A portion of the area is identified on the Comprehensive Plan Concept Map as a part of “Growth Area
I.” Growth areas exhibit opportunities for new development. In general, these areas are greenfields,
located beyond the influence area of existing neighborhoods and not intended to be within a district or
corridor. These areas will be the most market responsive areas; that is, they will offer the greatest level
of land use flexibility. This flexibility will be accompanied by proscriptive land use and design guidance
that will ensure the resulting development furthers the City’s overall goals and objectives.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area: The proposed amendment to General Commercial
would allow for the property to be zoned in the future for commercial uses that serve the general
community and region. The surrounding area is largely undeveloped.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation
network: Water service is available to this area from existing 8-inch and 18-inch waterlines along
State Highway 6 South and Lakeway Drive, respectively. There is an existing 15-inch sewer main
through the area that may serve this property. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with
site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design
Guidelines. Existing infrastructure appears to be adequate for the proposed future general
commercial use at this time.
The subject property has frontage on Earl Rudder Freeway South, a Freeway/Expressway and the
extension of Lakeway Drive, a two-lane Major Collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. An unnamed
Minor Arterial is projected to cross this area at the overpass at State Highway 6 South and an
additional unnamed minor collector is shown on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Access to the area will
be from Earl Rudder Freeway South, Lakeway Drive, and future thoroughfares.
8.Impact on the City’s ability to provide, fund, and maintain services : The proposed
amendment for the subject property does not negatively impact the City’s ability to provide, fund, and
maintain services.
9.Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: The proposed amendment for the
area does not negatively impact natural areas nor prevent the preservation of such areas.
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 to General
Commercial does not limit the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment proposes future

amendments thereto, shall not be nor considered a zoning map, shall not constitute zoning
regulations or establish zoning boundaries and shall not be site or parcel specific but shall be
used to illustrate generalized locations.
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

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.

and FM158 at the College Station city limit line. Case #REZ2017-000016.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017
meeting and their recommendation will be presented during the presentation of this item. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning.
Summary:The proposed City-initiated rezoning from R Rural to GC General Commercial is to allow for infill
commercial development opportunities in north College Station. The intent of pursuing this entitlement at this
time is to preserve potential commercial sites for future development. The property is located at the
intersection of two regionally significant roadways, a location appropriate for general commercial development.
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 Commercial.
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0371,Version:1
The 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 proposed rezoning is in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
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.”
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 west are
located in the City of Bryan and are zoned and used as A-O Agricultural-Open and Planned
Development (multi-family), respectively. To the east is a lawnmower repair business and a home, both
zoned CI Commercial Industrial. To the south is vacant land planned for future phases of Summit
Crossing, a townhome and duplex 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 has approximately 1,200
feet of frontage on Boonville Road (FM 158), and approximately 900 feet of frontage on University
Drive East. The intersection of these regionally significant roadways 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 is currently zoned
R Rural and is used for single-family and for agricultural uses. 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 regionally significant commercial development and the intersection of two regionally significant
roadways, 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 and sewer service is not currently available to this
property. Off-site sewer extensions from the southeast will be required for service to this tract. The
City’s Water Master Plan requires 18-inch and 12-inch lines be extended with development of this
property, and a future 12-inch waterline will need to be extended with the future extension of Summit
Crossing Lane.
Detention will be required with development of this property. Drainage and other public infrastructure
required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified
Design Guidelines. Future master planned infrastructure, appear to be adequate for the proposed
general commercial use at this time.
The subject property has approximately 1,200 feet of frontage on Boonville Road (FM 158), designated
a 6-lane Major Arterial and approximately 900 feet of frontage on University Drive East, designated a 4-

File #:17-0371,Version:1
lane Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Summit Crossing Lane, a future 2-lane Minor
Collector, is proposed to be located near the southwest property edge. Access to the site will likely be
from University Drive, Boonville Road and Summit Crossing Lane.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not required with the proposed rezoning as the adjacent
thoroughfares have been widened with medians and traffic signal installed at the intersection of
University Drive East and Boonville Road (FM 158). A TIA will be required with the platting of the tracts
which is closer to the time of development and will identify traffic impact and site access needs at that
time.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this request at their July 20, 2017
meeting and their recommendation will be presented during the presentation of this item. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning.
Summary: The proposed City-initiated rezoning from GS General Suburban to GC General Commercial is to
allow for infill commercial redevelopment opportunities in proximity to Texas A&M University. The subject
properties are located along the south side of George Bush Drive East, just north of existing commercial
development. The lots are currently developed as single-family residential homes. While the properties are
likely too small to redevelop for commercial uses on their own, there is opportunity for consolidation of lots for
a larger redevelopment effort. As currently zoned, the properties could redevelop as single-family homes on a
lot-by-lot basis, potentially precluding future commercial redevelopment in the area. This area was identified
by Staff as a prime location for needed general commercial redevelopment and as a targeted area for
commercial preservation.

100, 102, 104, 106, 112, and 204 George Bush Drive East were recently rezoned to GC General Commercial
at the request of the property owners. Since that time, staff hosted a property owner meeting to discuss the
potential of City-initiated rezoning on the remainder of the block. Two property owners in attendance preferred
to retain the single-family zoning designation on the property until the time that they sold their properties.
Those properties are located at the north end of the block and have not been included in this rezoning request.
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 Redevelopment. This area is
included in Redevelopment Area II in the Comprehensive Plan, stating the following: includes a
number of underperforming land uses that, due to their proximity to two of the busiest corridors in the
City, are poised for redevelopment. Much of the area is currently subdivided into small lots, making it
difficult to assemble land for redevelopment. A portion of this area includes the current City Hall, which
offers the opportunity to redevelop a larger parcel if City Hall is relocated to the Municipal Center
District. The proximity of existing neighborhoods and the Texas A&M University campus requires
careful site planning and appropriate building design. These efforts should be complimentary to the
Area V: Hospitality corridor plan, the neighborhood plan for the Eastgate area, and the Texas A&M
University Campus Master Plan and should focus on bringing vertical mixed-use and other aspects of
urban character to this portion of the City.
The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan includes discussion of this area and specifically states the following:
The block bounded by George Bush Drive East, Texas Avenue South and Dominik Drive is split with
two character designations. The lots on the north side of the block that front George Bush Drive East
are designated as Urban and Redevelopment in the Comprehensive Plan and are developed as single-
family residential. The lots on the block face fronting Dominik Drive are designated as Urban Mixed
Use and Redevelopment and are developed with commercial uses. With aging commercial properties
and single-family rental dwellings, the area is poised for redevelopment and consolidation of property
on both sides of the block. In addition, given the block’s location in the City and proximity to major
thoroughfares, Texas Avenue South (six-lane major arterial) and George Bush Drive East (four-lane
major collector), more intense development is anticipated. To create more consistency in the future
development pattern, both block faces should be designated Urban with an emphasis on creating
mixed-use opportunities.
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.”
The proposed rezoning is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and related master plans.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the
character of the neighborhood: Discrepancies currently exist in zoning and future land use and
character in the area that could lead to unintended development scenarios that are contrary to the
character desired by area residents. Lots along the south side of George Bush Drive East are currently
zoned GS General Suburban and developed as single-family homes. Properties to the south are zoned
GC General Commercial and are developed as such. As the block is rezoned, consolidated, and
redeveloped, the proposed GC General Commercial zoning will be consistent and compatible. The
College Station, TX Printed on 7/21/2017Page 2 of 3

File #:17-0372,Version:1
subject area is located at the periphery of the Eastgate neighborhood in a redevelopment area.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that
would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: The block is surrounded by major
thoroughfares. The proposed rezoning is for seven lots along the south side of George Bush Drive
East. The south side of the block (facing Dominik Drive) is already zoned GC General Commercial. As
properties continue to rezone for redevelopment in this area and properties consolidate, the area
becomes most 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 subject properties along
George Bush Drive East are currently zoned GS General Suburban. The property is suitable for single
-family residential uses, as they are currently developed as such. The lots currently abut commercially
zoned and developed properties and are generally separated from the larger Eastgate neighborhood
by George Bush East Drive.
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 properties are
marketable with their current zoning of GS General Suburban; however, the requested rezoning
provides an opportunity for additional commercial redevelopment near Texas A&M University. The
existing zoning allows for the existing single-family homes to be redeveloped for new single-family
housing on a lot-by-lot basis, potentially precluding redevelopment envisioned by the Comprehensive
Plan.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable
and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is available to the properties from existing 8-inch
waterline along the south side of George Bush Drive East. A 6-inch sewer main is located at the rear of
the lots closest to Texas Avenue and an 8-inch sewer main is located in front of the properties that are
located further from Texas Avenue. Drainage is mainly to the southwest toward Texas Avenue.
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 properties have individual residential driveways along George Bush Drive East, designated
a Major Collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. As properties consolidate and redevelop, driveway
access points will be consolidated and reduced.

concrete are visible, off-street loading areas, utility connections, and any other site
characteristics that could be considered visually offensive must be adequately screened.
65. Detention ponds shall be integrated into the overall landscaping theme and design of the
site as described in Section 12-7.9.B, Detention pond Aesthetic Design.
Detention Pond Aesthetic Design
UDO Section 12-7.9.B
Section 12-7.9.B
B. Detention Pond Aesthetic Design.
Detention ponds should be treated as aesthetic site amenities, adding quality and depth to
the visual environment of the site. Therefore, the detention pond area shall be integrated
into the overall landscaping design of the site by reasonably dispersing the required
landscaping points.
1. Unless the landscape plan is sealed by a landscape architect and approved by the
Administrator, only plantings found in the College Station Plant List for Detention Pond
Areas may be used in a detention area.
2. If visible from any right-of-way or abutting property, concrete structures (such as
weirs, outlets, and spillways) and retaining walls over six (6) inches in height shall be
treated so as to replicate stone, wood, or other alternatives approved by the
Administrator. The treatment shall be complementary to the structures on the site.
32. Variations to the requirements of this Section may be approved if the development
project is employing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
development standards, using stormwater management to acquire LEED points. The
project must be LEED certifiable (it does not have to be registered as a LEED project but
must be eligible for certification), be sealed by a Landscape Architect, and show
reasonable evidence that the requirements as set forth in this Section were used as a
guide.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion approving an ordinance vacating and
abandoning a 0.0397 acre Public Utility Easement lying within Lot 1, Block 2, of College Station ISD
Willow Branch and Oakwood School Sites, according to the plat recorded in Volume 3588, Page 51,

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
Summary: This public utility easement abandonment will accommodate a building expansion on the
CSISD property. It appears the PUE was once used to provide primary electric service to the
building; however, recent improvements to the site have changed the limits of the public-to-private
portion of the electrical service and the easement is no longer necessary.
The 0.0397 acre public utility easement is located on Lot 1, Block 2, of College Station ISD Willow
Branch and Oakwood School Sites, according to the plat recorded in Volume 3588, Page 51, of the
Deed Records of Brazos County.
