amending Chapter 12, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 12-4.2, “Official Zoning

with the PDD. The City Council recently approved an agreement to terminate the economic
development agreement.

the concept plan along Tarrow Street, as identified on the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways
Master Plan.

to connect to join the proposed sidewalk on East Tarrow, which would require 1,500’ of a 6-8’
sidewalk and hinder future development. The development would be required by Texas
accessibility standards to provide pedestrian access, as well as providing interior walkways
throughout the site.

sanitation rate increase, service level increases to address growth and maintenance needs; and tax
rate, etc. The budget and tax rate are scheduled to be adopted September 25. The revised FY17
Budget has an authorized decrease of ($2,855,804). Current estimate is that there will be a slight
increase in fund balance when the year closes.
GENERAL FUND
Revenues
Sales Tax, our largest revenue stream, accounts for 37%. The FY17 forecast is 5.2% higher than
FY16 (FY17 forecast includes several one-time sales tax settlements and purchases). Staff is
projecting a 2% increase over FY18 year-end estimate for an estimated revenue of $28.5 million.
Ad valorem taxes account for 31% of our general fund revenues. Our certified property valuation
is $8.9 billion, for an approximate 11.41% increase in value over last year. New Value is 45% of
that increase or $409 million. We are continuing to see growth on the property value side. Our
current tax rate is 47.25 cents. The effective tax rate is 44.4262 cents and generates approximately
the same revenues on the same properties this year as last year. The rollback rate is calculated at
51.7358 cents. The property tax revenue coming into the General Fund is estimated to be $23.9
million, and the Debt Service Fund portion is estimated to be $19.1 million. Staff is proposing a
tax rate of 49.75 cents. Council will need to discuss the tax rate, vote to increase tax revenues, and
call and hold the Public Hearings on the tax rate to be considered.
Total transfers from all Utilities are being proposed in the amount of $11.9 million which is an
estimated 15% of General Fund revenues. The electric transfer rate policy remains the same as
FY17.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND – HOTEL TAX
Hotel Tax revenue is down 4.85% through June 2017. The HOT Revenue for hotels open for 2
years or longer is down 8.45%. Operating expenses are down 38.24% due to lower budgets related
to Veteran’s Park and Southeast Park construction projects. HOT expenditures for Southeast Park
are expected to resume in FY19 – which will result in an increase in expenditures.
FY18 projected revenue reflects 1% increase over FY17 estimate. Expenditures include $4.6
million for City operations, capital projects, preferred access payment, and miscellaneous
programs and events. Also included is proposed funding of $2.99 million for HOT funded outside
agencies including CVB, Arts Council, Easterwood Airport, and the Chamber of Commerce.
CVB: The FY 18 proposed budget presented the amounts requested by CVB of $1,929,115 for
CVB O&M and $450,000 for the CVB grant program. Staff recommended a reduction of $317,065
and $50,000, respectively. The O&M amount would reflect the City of College Station’s portion
of funding at 81% and the City of Bryan’s funding at 19%. This agency request is less than 1% of
the total City budget. The City of College Station and City of Bryan staff have met multiple times
regarding the funding request in detail and agree on the recommendation.
Council was in consensus to fund $1,846,991 for the CVB O&M budget and $400,000 for the
grant program.

funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. 70.89% of expenditures are
for the CDBG program and 29.11% are for the HOME program.

there is no 15% requirement on special revenue funds. Estimate to collect approximately $4
million in FY18.
System Wide Water Impact Fee Fund: FY18 impact fee revenues are projected to be $377K. These
funds will be used for the debt service payment toward the Well #9, Well #9 Collection Line, and
State Highway 6 Water Line capital improvement projects. A transfer to pay for the debt service
on the FY17 bonds related to these projects is proposed. Leveraging the impact fee revenue to pay
for the debt service on eligible capital projects maximizes the project funding.

These funds will be used for the debt service payment for Lick Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
Expansion capital improvement projects. A transfer to pay for the debt service on the FY17 bonds
related to this project is proposed. Leveraging the impact fee revenue to pay for the debt service
on eligible capital projects maximizes the project funding.
System Wide Roadway Impact Fee Fund requires four separate Funds for separate service
territories, and fees collected in a particular service area must be used for capital projects within
that same service area. The roadway impact fee was approved in three phases. Phase I in 2016
were no fees, Phase II in 2017, will be at a rate that is half the rate of the final Phase III fee in
2018.
Mrs. Leonard gave a brief overview of the Court and Police special revenue funds: Court
Technology Fee Fund, Court Security Fee Fund, Juvenile Case Manager Fee Fund, Truancy
Prevention Fee Fund, Efficiency Time Payment Fee Fund, and Police Seizure Fund.

varying rate increases in the 4th quarter of FY18.
The Drainage Utility Fund: no rate change is proposed. There are no Service Level Adjustments.
The Northgate Parking Fund: projected increase in working capital, and the revenue is better than

VI “Traffic Schedules”,Sec.38-1002 “Traffic Schedule II,Four-Way Stop Intersections”of the Code of
Ordinances, City of College Station, Texas by adding a four-way stop intersection at Thomas Street and Dexter Drive.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Improving Mobility
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary:The existing intersection of Thomas Street and Dexter Drive has Stop signs on the Thomas Street approaches
to the intersection (i.e.,westbound and eastbound).A concern with appropriate sight line at this intersection was brought to
Traffic Engineering’s attention by a citizen who resides in the neighborhood.Traffic Engineering performed the line of sight
criteria identified in the “Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets”,finding the sight distance for vehicles setting
at the existing Stop sign on the westbound Thomas Street approach inadequate to see vehicles approaching the
intersection from the left (i.e.,traveling northbound on Dexter Drive).Due to the inadequate sight line for vehicles on the
westbound Thomas Street approach to see vehicles traveling northbound on Dexter Drive,Traffic Engineering recommends
to add Stop signs to the north-and southbound approaches to the intersection,making it an All-Way Stop controlled
intersection.
Budget &Financial Summary:The “Stop”signs are planned operation and maintenance expenses accounted for in the
Public Works Traffic Operation budget.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding construction contract 17300507 with Dudley Construction Ltd., in
the amount of $433,552 for the 30-inch Water Line Relocation at FM2818/FM60 Project, and approval of a resolution
declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this construction contract and recommends approval of the resolution
declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Summary: This project includes the installation of approximately 320 LF of 30-inch ductile iron water pipe, 140 LF of 42-inch
steel casing pipe, and installation of a 3-inch air release valve, generally located west of the FM2818 and FM60
intersection. The existing 30-inch RCCP water line will be partially removed, while the majority will be grout filled.
Approximately 210 SY of the existing asphalt access road will be removed and replaced. On the east side of FM2818,
south of FM60, the project will extend an existing concrete cap covering a 30-inch and an 18-inch water line by
approximately 334 SF.
Budget & Financial Summary: Budget for this project was not included in the FY17 Water Capital Improvement Projects
Fund budget. In order to move forward with this project in FY17, it will be necessary to defer the Improved Security Fencing
at the SPPS project and the Dowling Road Equipment Shed project. The “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse
Certain Expenditures with Proceeds from Debt” is necessary for this item because long term debt has not been issued for
the project.

Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval of modifications to Article III of the
Bylaws of the Research Valley Partnership, Inc. (RVP).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Research Valley Partnership recommends approval of the bylaw changes
to Article III.
Summary: The RVP established a subcommittee to modify the current bylaws to more closely reflect
the funding levels for the corporation. Directors may be appointed to the Board by those
organizations, governments, educational institutions or business entities wishing to participate in the
mission of the Corporation and which fit into one of three categories. There is also a provision that
allows Texas A&M University to join the RVP as a full funding partner. Currently, full funding partners
including the cities of Bryan, College Station and Brazos County invest approximately $350,000 each
per year.
The RVP voted to amend its bylaws on June 21, 2017. According to the bylaws, the City of College
Station, City of Bryan, and Brazos County (and any other Oversight Entity) must approve any
changes to Article III of the bylaws (concerning the appointment and qualifications of directors) in
order for the changes to that Article to be effective.
RVP Managing Director Sylvia McMullen presented the bylaw changes at the August 10, 2017 City
Council meeting. The Council requested that Mrs. McMullen clarify language pertaining to Category I
constituents. This category includes the major funding partners - City of College Station, City of
Bryan, Brazos County and the Texas A&M University System. It requires a minimum contribution of
$350,000 annually to fund the RVP. Language was added to make it clear that, "constituents in
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0463,Version:1
Category I will be required to contribute equal funding with equal representation".
Budget & Financial Summary: College Station's annual contribution of $350,000 will remain the
same for 2017-2018 budget year. The current funding level of $350,000 will be required annually for
all Category I Constituents. These Constituents include the cities of Bryan, College Station and
Brazos County as well as Texas A&M University should they choose to become a full funding
partner. Failure of a Category I Constituent to contribute at the $350,000 level presently shall result
in the loss of the right to appoint Board members to the Corporation's board.

Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General
Commercial for approximately 1.3 acres being situated in the Plantation Oaks Addition, Block 1, Lot 1
located north of University Oaks Blvd. and west of Earl Rudder Freeway South.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their August 3rd
meeting and a motion to recommend approval failed by a vote of 0-7.
Summary::The applicant has requested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land
Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial in order to request a
rezoning to GC General Commercial.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:The subject
property was rezoned to O Office in 2013, which is consistent with the Suburban Commercial land
use on the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use and Character Map, and has remained
undeveloped.
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0456,Version:1
The surrounding properties to the north and west are designated as General Suburban and were
developed as single-family residential through the 1970s. The properties to the south are
designated as Urban Mix Use and are in a Redevelopment Area. These land use designation
were given to the property due to the age of the existing multi-family development and zoning
districts, GC General Commercial and R-6 High Density Multi-Family, currently on the property.
TXDOT made changes to the ramps to Earl Rudder Freeway in 2015. An exit ramp located
across the subject property was reversed, creating an on ramp that begins before the subject lot.
In 2016, the property to the south, on the corner of University Oaks Blvd. and frontage road was
developed as an office building.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map designation for approximately 1.3 acres from Suburban Commercial to
General Commercial. If approved by City Council, the applicant intends to pursue a rezoning of
the property from O Office 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 serving the site.
Additional infrastructure improvements may be needed with site improvement. The area of the
subject site proposed as General Commercial was not enough warrant a Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA).
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 establish
and protect distinct boundaries between various character areas. Although the property is near
property designated as Urban Mixed Use, it also abuts properties designated and developed for
single-family use. Given the limited width of the subject lot, approximately 140 feet at its widest
point, there are concerns of the impacts General Commercial land uses on the abutting residential
properties.
The current designation of Suburban Commercial is suitable for commercial uses that serve the
nearby community and are compatible with residential uses. These areas are intended to be
smaller in size and compatible with surrounding single-family residential uses. The subject
property’s current land use designation continues to be appropriate due to the limited width of the
site and its close proximity and potential impact to the established single-family neighborhood.
The proposed land use designation, General Commercial, is generally 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 and located near the intersection of two regionally
significant roads (arterials and freeways). It is preferred that in such areas development be
concentrated in nodes rather than spread out in strips. Although the property has direct access to
a freeway, the property is small in size and opportunities for consolidation land is not possible at
this location due to the surrounding properties being developed as single-family.

File #:17-0456,Version:1
5.Consideration of the Future Land Use & Character and/or Thoroughfare Plans: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). The
design of Suburban Commercial structures are compatible in size, roof type and pitch,
architecture, and lot coverage with the surrounding single-family residential uses.
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 is designated as a Freeway/Expressway and University Oaks Blvd. is
designated as a Major Collector on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. The frontage along University
Oaks Boulevard would not allow for a driveway on this thoroughfare. Although the property’s
location and direct access to the frontage road support General Commercial land use other
variables, such as compatibility with single-family residential, do not support this land use.
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 and west are currently zoned GS
General Suburban.
Amending the Comprehensive Plan to General Commercial in this area would not compatible
with the existing zoning and development directly adjacent to the property. The current land use
designation, Suburban Commercial, is intended for smaller scale community or neighborhood
services that is compatible in size and lot coverage with the surrounding near medium to low
density single-family residential.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: Water service is currently provided by College Station Utilities. There
is an existing 12-inch waterline along Earl Rudder Freeway. Sewer service is available via
existing 8-inch sewer main across University Oaks Blvd.
Additionally, the property is in the Carter’s Creek drainage basin. The site generally drains
south. 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
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 3 of 4

File #:17-0456,Version:1
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 1.3 acres impedes on this
goal by proposing an incompatible, intense land use adjacent to single-family residential
properties. The subject lot has limited site width for it to adequately protect the single-family
homes from undesirable elements associated with intense use while providing adequate
improvements for general commercial land uses.

4. General nature of College Station Comprehensive Plan. The College Station Comprehensive
Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan,

budget constraints, cost participation, and right-of-way availability that warrant further
refinement as development occurs. Linear routes such as bikeways, greenways, thoroughfares,
pedestrian ways, waterlines and sewer lines that are a part of the College Station
Comprehensive Plan may be relocated by the City 1,000 feet from the locations shown in the
Plan without being considered an amendment thereto.
5. Reference. The term College Station Comprehensive Plan includes all of the above in its
entirety as if presented in full herein, and as same may from time to time be amended.”

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their August 3rd, 2017
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request.
Summary: This request is to amend the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone
approximately 1.3 acres from O Office to GC General Commercial. This request is in conjunction with
a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial as
the future land use.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0457,Version:1
Suburban Commercial 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.
As a part of the zoning request the applicant is also requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use of the property designation to General
Commercial. Should the land use 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. It should be noted, that staff is recommending denial of the
Comprehensive Plan amendment to the property. The property’s current zoning of O Office is an
appropriate district to implement both land use scenarios of Suburban Commercial and General
Commercial.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property is currently zoned O Office, which
accommodates selected commercial business that provide a service rather than sell products,
either retail or wholesale. The property is currently vacant and undeveloped.
Properties to the west are zoned GS General Suburban and developed as single-family
residential. The property to the south, across University Oaks Blvd., is zoned GC General
Commercial but developed as high density multi-family. Although the proposed zoning district,
GC General Commercial, is compatible with the property across the thoroughfare and is typically
appropriate along a highway, the size and configuration of the property makes GC General
Commercial incompatible with the immediately adjacent single-family residential zoning district. A
comparison of uses allowed in GC General Commercial versus O Office is attached to this
report.
3.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
districts that would be made applicable by the proposed amendment: Although the
proposed rezoning to GC General Commercial is appropriate for this area due to its location on
Earl Rudder Freeway, Freeway/Expressway, the site is not appropriate for this zoning district
given limited site width, which places the potential impacts of incompatible uses permitted in
General Commercial in close proximity with the adjacent residential neighborhoods.
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 visibility along Earl Rudder Freeway it would traditionally be
appropriate to have more regionally serving general commercial uses but the intensity of the
commercial development should be considered given the unique limited width of the property
and proximity to single-family residential.
With the lot being adjacent to the Plantation Oaks and Carter’s Grove residential subdivision, it
would be appropriate to have uses that were more in line with Suburban Commercial. The
current zoning district, O Office, would allow for service type uses that would serve the general
community and nearby residents. The current zoning district also provides development

powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0457,Version:1
restrictions such as 10-foot landscaped buffer with a fence and building height limitations to aid
in protecting the existing homes that are located within the residential neighborhoods.
Additionally, O Office and GC General Commercial are subject to the same Non-Residential
Architectural (NRA) Standards which allow for architectural design that is consistent in
commercial 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 current
zoning district, O Office, on the property is currently marketable for commercial and office uses
that provide services to the general community.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is currently provided by College
Station Utilities. There is an existing 12-inch waterline along Earl Rudder Freeway. Sewer
service is available via existing 8-inch sewer main across University Oaks Blvd.
Additionally, the property is in the Carter’s Creek drainage basin. Site is generally draining
south. 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 tract will take access from Earl Rudder Freeway, pending TxDOT approval. Due to
the size of the tract, a new Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not warranted.

Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General
Commercial for approximately 1.7 acres generally located at 12055 FM 2154.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Financially Sustainable City
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this request at their August 3rd, 2017
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request.
Summary: The applicant has requested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land
Use and Character Map from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial in an effort to reflect
the current land use of the property and in response to the recent zoning amendments on
neighboring properties. The property and surrounding area are in Growth Area V and were
designated as Suburban Commercial with the adoption of the current Comprehensive Plan.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City:In 2016, City Council
approved a rezoning on approximately 44 acres of the adjacent tract to GC General Commercial
and approximately 21 acres be rezoned to MF Multi-Family. With the development of the adjacent
property, Jones Crossing, Balcones Drive (2 lane Minor Collector) that will be constructed and
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0458,Version:1
connect to FM 2154 (Wellborn Road). The subject tract will have access to the future right-of-way
from the western boundary.
The subject tract and surrounding properties were identified in the Central College Station
Neighborhood Plan adopted in 2010. The neighborhood plan states that the extension of
Balcones Drive to Wellborn Road would allow opportunities for multi-family, urban style
development. Although the request is not for a land use that would allow for multi-family, it would
allow for more intense land uses, similar to the type of development intended by the
neighborhood plan with the extension of Balcones Drive.
2.Scope of the request:The request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
and Character Map designation for approximately 1.7 acres from Suburban Commercial to
General Commercial. If approved by City Council, the applicant intends to pursue a rezoning of
the property from R Rural 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 serving the site.
Additional infrastructure improvements may be needed with platting or redevelopment. The area
of the subject site proposed as General Commercial was not enough warrant a Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA).
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 City’s economic development goals 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 these goals is to promote and support new
investments that serve regional market opportunities. With the development of the adjacent tract
and the residential density within the vicinity, 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 west.
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 Harvey Mitchell Parkway and
FM 2154 (Wellborn Road).
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
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0458,Version:1
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).
The design of Suburban Commercial structures are intended to be 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).
FM 2154 (Wellborn Road) and Harvey Mitchell Parkway are designated as a Major Arterial on the
City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Given its location and close proximity to this major intersection a
General Commercial land use designation would be appropriate.
6.Compatibility with the surrounding area:The proposed amendment is compatible with the
surrounding area. Properties to the west, along FM 2154 are currently zoned GC General
Commercial. To the northeast of this property are properties designated Suburban Commercial
and zoned D Duplex and PDD Planned Development consisting of residential
townhomes/condo and duplex developments. This density supports and is compatible with the
proposed zoning district.
7.Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: Water service is currently provided by College Station Utilities. There
is an existing 3-inch waterline along FM 2154. Sewer service is available via existing 18-inch
sewer main to the west of the property.
Additionally, the property is in the Bee Creek drainage basin and is generally drains to the
Northeast. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with site redevelopment 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 1.7 acres is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan.

Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this request at their August 3rd, 2017
meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request.
Summary: This request is amending the zoning district boundaries on the property to rezone
approximately 1.7 acres from R Rural to GC General Commercial. This request is in conjunction with
a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Suburban Commercial to General Commercial as
a future land use. The property is currently developed as Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated as
Suburban Commercial 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.
As a part of the zoning request the applicant is also requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use of the property designation to General
Commercial. Should the land use 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 request would no longer
be consistent with the future land use designation and staff would not be supporting the request
to rezone. It should be noted, that staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment to the property.
2.Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and
with the character of the neighborhood: The property is currently zoned R Rural, which
allows for agricultural type uses and large lot single-family. The current use of the property as
Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill, built in 1992, is an existing nonconforming use to the current zoning
district due to annexation of the property that occurred in 1995.
The property to the north and east, adjacent to the subject tract, are also zoned R Rural and are
generally vacant and undeveloped with the exception of the two tracts that are developed as
single-family residential. The property to the west, across future Balcones Drive, is zoned GC
General Commercial, will allow for a broad range of commercial uses. This property is currently
planned to be a HEB grocery store.
The proposed zoning district, GC General Commercial, is compatible with the zoning district to the
west and would make the current use on the property conforming.
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 to GC General Commercial is suitable for this area due to its location on FM 2154
(Wellborn Road), a Major Arterial. Additionally, the property will be located at a signalized
intersection when Balcones Drive is completed.
The property is currently developed as commercial. Koppe Bar & Grill has existed on the
property prior to annexation, in 1992. The proposed zoning district will make the use on the
property conforming and allow for redevelopment in the future.
4.Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the
College Station, TX Printed on 8/18/2017Page 2 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:17-0459,Version:1
district applicable to the property at the time of the proposed amendment: The property is
developed with a use that is permitted in GC General Commercial, the proposed zoning district.
By rezoning the property the owner has the opportunity to redevelop the site in the future.
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: Although the
property can be marketed if rezoned to zoning district that is consistent with the current
Suburban Commercial land use, which allows for commercial uses, the marketability of the
property will increase if rezoned to GC General Commercial. The marketability will further
increase due to its location at a future signalized intersection of FM 2154 and the future Balcones
Drive, a 2-lane minor collector that will be built with the Jones Crossing Development.
6.Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally
suitable and adequate for the proposed use: Water service is currently provided by College
Station Utilities. There is an existing 3-inch waterline along FM 2154. Sewer service is available
via existing 18-inch sewer main to the west of the property. Additionally, the property is in the
Bee Creek drainage basin. The site generally drains to the northeast. Drainage and other public
infrastructure required with site redevelopment shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject tract will take access from FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), a 6-lane Major Arterial, and
will have access to Balcones Drive, 2-lane Minor Collector, when completed. Due to the size of
the tract, a new Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not warranted.

Relationship to Strategic Goals:
·Good Governance
·Core Services and Infrastructure
·Diverse Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item at their August 3,
2017 meeting and voted of 7-0 to recommend approval.
Summary: This amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance implements changes to the City’s
off-street parking regulations as directed as part of Planning and Zoning Commission’s 2016 and
2017 Plan of Work. The purpose of these changes are to implement the following goals:
·Provide flexibility and parking alternatives for developing and redeveloping properties to
increase their economic development viability and taxable value.
·Responsibly reduce regulatory barriers that contribute to underutilized parking areas while still
protecting neighborhoods from overflow parking.
·Increase the discretion given to Administrator to consider alternative parking options.
·Eliminate parking requirements that add minimal value and would streamline staff processes.
To accomplish these goals, this ordinance amendment proposes the following changes:
·Allow shopping centers to have a set minimum parking ratio that is not dependent of the
parking ratios of the tenants that occupy them.

File #:17-0455,Version:1
·Extend the City’s demand based parking option to all developments and remove the
requirement that a balance of land be held in reserve in the event that more parking is needed.
·Change the distance eligibility requirements for shared and off-site parking option from 250
feet to 500 feet.
·Provide a general reduction of two parking spaces for certain non-residential uses in order to
assist the development potential of smaller sites.
·Reduce the parking requirement for 2 bedroom multi-family units from 1.5 parking spaces per
bedroom to 1.0 parking spaces per bedroom.
·Eliminate additional layout and landscaping requirements for large parking lots over 120
spaces.

3. Concept 3. For every one hundred twenty (120) parking spaces, an additional one thousand eight hundred (1,800) square feet of landscaped area shall be added/distributed to the interior row(s) end island(s) located closest to the right-of-way line (i.e. in conjunction with the minimum setback creating a double row of landscaping) but in no event shall the additional landscaped area be located farther than one hundred (100) feet from the right-of-way frontage. The landscaping square footage calculation for parking lots greater than one hundred twenty (120) parking spaces shall be pro-rated at fifteen (15) square feet of landscaping per parking space.
b. Interior island area requirements may be consolidated into end islands, landscape strips, and landscape pods. c. Shopping cart storage spaces shall be identified on the site plan. These spaces shall not be located in landscape islands or any areas designed for plantings or pedestrian or bike access. d.

This requirement shall not apply to auto sales lots.
E. Requirements Apply to All Parking Areas. Every parcel of land hereafter used as a public parking area, including commercial parking lots, visitor parking areas for single-family and townhouse uses, and parcels used for open-air sales lots, shall be developed and maintained in accordance with the requirements in this Section and as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. The requirements in this Section do not apply to overflow parking for churches, nor to temporary overflow parking for City events and temporary parking for special events.
F. Surfacing. 1. General. All surfacing of off-street parking areas shall be constructed of either asphalt or concrete as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. Alternatives to the standards may be approved by the Administrator if it is demonstrated that the materials and design are equal or
superior to the requirements in the Standards. All off-street parking areas shall be graded to drain and be maintained so as to dispose of surface water accumulated within the area. Parking spaces shall be so arranged and marked so as to provide for orderly and safe parking of vehicles.
2. Non-Public, All-Weather Drive Surfaces. Temporary or permanent drive surfaces that are required for emergency access or turnaround for emergency vehicles must be constructed to function under all weather conditions. To accommodate a project during construction, phasing, or permanent installation, drive surfaces that do not meet the requirements for permanent pavement surfaces may be allowed at the discretion of the Administrator for the specific conditions stated below:
a. Temporary All-Weather Surface (During Construction). A structure under construction must be accessible by an all-weather drive surface as specified in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. This temporary all-weather surface must be reworked or replaced to meet the permanent pavement standard as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy;
b. Semi-Permanent All-Weather Surface (During Phasing). In cases during phasing of a large project, emergency access and turnarounds often must be added as a temporary measure until additional phases are constructed. These emergency access areas may consist of permanent pavement surfaces as specified in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. When the additional phase is constructed, these areas must be removed or reworked to meet the permanent pavement standards as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards;
c. Permanent Surfaces. 1) All-Weather Surface (Permanent). In some development scenarios, an emergency access or turnaround must be constructed to meet emergency access purposes and is not required for public traffic, service vehicles or sanitation vehicles. In these cases, the area required for emergency access only may consist meetofthe permanent pavement standards surface as specified in the City of College Station Site Design Standards.
2) Permeable Surface. a. The use of porous materials (such as permeable concrete and pavers) to mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water may be used in off-street parking areas if the material meets vehicular loading standards and is approved by the Administrator. b. Fire lanes may also be constructed of porous materials such as permeable concrete and pavers to mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water, so long as it is demonstrated that the permeable surface can obtain sufficient land and compaction ratings for its application as approved by the City of College Station Fire and Sanitation Departments. c. Single-family and townhouse visitor parking areas, as required in Single-Family Residential Parking Requirements for Platting, may also be constructed of porous materials such as permeable concrete and pavers to mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water. d. Permeable surfaces approved as provided above shall be maintained in accordance with industry standards and to achieve mitigation of storm water sheeting and pooling of water. Failure to maintain permeable surfaces as required herein, shall
constitute a violation of the this Section of the UDO for which penalty provisions may be involved. G. Curbing Required. 1. General. The perimeter of all paved surfaces shall be curbed as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. Unless otherwise required pursuant of this Section, curbs may be omitted where drive aisles or parking spaces are located adjacent to a building if bollards or other protective devices are installed to protect pedestrian areas. Alternatives to the standards may be approved by the Administrator if it is demonstrated that the materials and design are equal or superior to the requirements in the Standards.
2. Temporary Curbing. A temporary curb may be permitted in lieu of the minimum standard stated in the City of College Station Site Design Standards, at the discretion of the Administrator, when a project is phased in such a way that a permanent, monolithic curb may preclude development of future phases or limit access to a recorded private or public access easement adjoining properties. Wheel stops shall not be permitted as a temporary curbing. Temporary curbing must have the appearance of permanent curbing and shall be temporarily attached to the pavement surfacing below and meet the minimum standards for dowelled-in curbs as described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards.
H. Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required. In computing the number of parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern:
1. Parking requirements based on square footage shall be based upon the gross floor area, unless otherwise stated. Service areas such as mechanical rooms, restrooms, and closets shall be included in the calculation of "gross floor area" for determining required parking spaces; 2. Where fractional spaces result in computing required parking spaces, the required number of spaces must be increased to the nearest whole number. At least one (1) parking space must be provided unless otherwise specified in this UDO; 3. The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed shall be the same as those for the most similar to the proposed use, as determined by the Administrator; 4. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this UDO is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity, or otherwise, parking requirements shall be met on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this UDO is enlarged, the enlarged building or increased use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein; 5. Where requirements are established on the basis of the number of seats, such requirements shall be based on the seating capacity as determined by the Building Official; 6. Where a manufacturing/industrial use has more than one (1) working shift of employees, parking shall be provided to accommodate overlap requirements during transition periods; and 7. When the developer of a large-scale development can demonstrate that such development will require fewer parking spaces than required by the standards of this Section, the Administrator may permit a reduction in the number of required parking spaces for the development. Such a reduction in parking spaces shall be justified through the development of a
parking study prepared by a professional engineer or transportation planner and submitted to the Administrator. The balance of the land necessary to meet these requirements shall be held in reserve as an undeveloped area, to meet any future needs generated by an expansion of the business, a change in land use, or underestimated parking demand; 8.7. The Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Northgate and Wolf Pen Creek districts if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the respective district.

I. Drive-Through Facility Queuing Requirements. 1. Minimum Number of Spaces. Drive-through queuing spaces shall be provided as indicated in the following table:
Minimum Off-Street Queuing Requirements Activity Type Minimum Spaces Measure From
Automated Teller Machine 3 Teller Bank Teller Lane 4 Teller or Window Car Wash Stall, Automatic 4 Service Position Car Wash Stall, Self-Service 3 Service Position Dry cleaning or Laundry 2 Window
Minimum Off-Street Queuing Requirements Activity Type Minimum Spaces Measure From
Oil-Change Station 3 Service Position Photo Lab 4 Pick-Up Window Restaurant Drive-Through 4 Order Box Restaurant Drive-Through 3 Order Box to Pick-Up Window Other As determined by the Administrator
2. Design and Layout. Queuing spaces or queuing areas shall be designed in accordance with the following criteria. :
a. Queue spaces or queuing areas may not interfere with parking spaces, parking aisles, loading areas, internal circulation or driveway access. ; b. Each queue space shall consist of a rectangular area not less than ten (10) feet wide and eighteen and one-half (18.5) feet long with a vertical clearance as specified in the building code;. c. Queue spaces are not interchangeable with parking spaces except for the following uses where the space providing services may count toward the parking requirement: bank teller, car wash, and oil-change station;. d. A twelve-foot by-pass lane may be required adjacent to queue lines to allow vehicles an opportunity to circumvent the drive-through activity and exit the site;. e. Queue areas and drive-through facilities shall be clearly identified with the appropriate signing and marking; and. f. Spaces within a car-wash facility or drive-through oil-change station may be counted toward the queuing requirement. J. Alternative Parking Plans. 1. Scope. An “Alternative Parking Plan” represents a proposal to meet vehicle parking and transportation access needs by means other than providing parking spaces on-site in accordance with the ratios established in Section 12-7.3.I, Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
2. Applicability.
Applicants who wish to provide fewer or more off-street parking spaces than allowed above shall be required to secure approval of an Alternative Parking Plan, in accordance with the standards of this Section. The Administrator may require that an Alternative Parking Plan be submitted in cases where the Administrator deems the listed standard to be inappropriate based on the unique nature of the use or in cases where the applicable standard is unclear.’
3. Contents. Alternative Parking Plans shall be submitted in a form established by the Administrator and made available to the public. At a minimum, such plans shall detail the type of alternative proposed and the rationale for such a proposal.
4. Review and Approval Procedure. The Administrator shall be authorized to approve Alternative Parking Plans. Appeals of the Administrator's decision may be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission. 5. Recording. An attested copy of an approved Alternative Parking Plan shall be submitted to the County Clerk's office for recordation on forms made available in the Department of Development Services. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall be presented to the Administrator prior to issuance of a Building Permit. An approved Alternative Parking Plan may be amended by the Administrator. 6. Eligible Alternatives. A number of specific parking and access alternatives are described below. The Administrator shall, however, be authorized to consider and approve any alternative to providing off-street parking spaces on the site of the subject development if the applicant demonstrates that the proposed plan shall result in a better situation with respect to surrounding neighborhoods, City-wide traffic circulation, and urban design than would strict compliance with otherwise applicable off-street parking standards.
a. a. Demand-Based Parking. When the developer of a non-residential or multi-family development can demonstrate that such development will require fewer parking spaces than required by the standards of this Section, the Administrator may permit a reduction in the number of required parking spaces for the development. Such a reduction in parking spaces shall be justified by the applicant through the development of a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or transportation planner and submitted to the Administrator. Duplex, townhomes and single family developments are not eligible for the demand-based parking option. a.b. Shared Parking. The Administrator may authorize a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces for multiple-use developments or for uses that are located near one another and that have different peak parking demands or different operating hours. Shared parking shall be subject to the following standards:
1. Location. Shared off-street parking spaces shall be located no farther than two hundred fifty five hundred (250500) feet from the building site. The Administrator may waive this distance limitation, if adequate assurances are offered regarding the usability of the shared lot and the principle use (such as the operation of a van or shuttle service, etc.). that van or shuttle service shall be operated between the shared lot and the principal use; 2. Zoning Classification. Shared-parking areas shall be considered accessory uses of principal uses that the parking spaces are intended to serve. Shared parking areas shall require the same
or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses served by the shared parking area; 3. Required Study and Analysis. The applicant shall submit a shared parking analysis to the Administrator that clearly demonstrates the feasibility of shared parking. The study shall be provided in a form established by the Administrator and made available to the public. It shall address, at a minimum, the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants, the anticipated rate of parking turnover, and the anticipated peak parking and traffic loads for all uses that shall be sharing off-street parking spaces. The Administrator shall have the authority to require a revised study and analysis should conditions change that may result in a change in site parking conditions; 4. Shared Parking Agreement. A shared parking plan shall be enforced through written agreement among the owners of record. An attested copy of the agreement shall be submitted to the County Clerk's office for recordation on forms made available in the Department of Development Services. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall be presented to the Administrator prior to issuance of a Building Permit. A If a shared parking agreement may be is revoked by the parties to the agreement only if, either off-street parking ismust be provided pursuant to this Section, or if an Alternative Parking Plan ismust be approved by the Administrator; and
5. Revocation. Failure to comply with the shared parking provisions of this Section shall constitute a violation of this UDO and shall specifically be cause for revocation of a Certificate of Occupancy or Building Permit.
b. Off-Site Parking. The Administrator may permit all or a portion of the required off-street parking spaces to be located on a remote and separate lot from the lot on which the principal use is located, subject to the standards of this Section.
1. Location. No off-site parking space shall be located more than two hundred fifty five hundred (250500) feet from the building site. The Administrator may waive this distance limitation if adequate assurances are offered regarding the usability of the off-site lot and the principle use (such as the operation of a van or shuttle service, etc.). that van or shuttle service shall be operated between the shared lot and the principal use; 2. Zoning Classification. Off-site parking areas shall be considered accessory uses of principal uses that the parking spaces are intended to serve. Off-site parking areas shall require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the use served; 3. Off-Site Parking Agreement. In the event that an off-site parking area is not under the same ownership as the principal use served, a written agreement among the owners of record shall be required. An attested copy of the agreement between the owners of record shall be submitted to the County Clerk's Office for recordation on forms made available in the office of the Administrator. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall be presented to the Administrator prior to issuance of a Building Permit. If Aan off-site parking agreement may be is revoked by the parties to the agreement, either only if
off-street parking is must be provided on-site pursuant to this Section 12-7.3, Off-Street Parking Standards or if an Alternative Access and Parking Plan is must be approved by the Administrator. c. Bicycle Parking. The Administrator may authorize a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces for developments or uses that make special provisions to accommodate bicyclists. Examples of accommodations include bicycle lockers, employee shower facilities, and dressing areas for employees.

carrying capacity of the streets and reducing the amo unt of land required for streets, thereby
lowering the cost to both the property owner and the City; and
4. Provide flexibility and parking alternatives for developing and redeveloping properties to increase
their viability.
B. Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
1. In all districts, for all uses, at the time any building or structure is erected, enlarged, or

not apply to overflow parking for churches, nor to temporary overflow parking for City events and
temporary parking for special events.
F. Surfacing.
1. General.
All surfacing of off-street parking areas shall be constructed of either asphalt or concrete as
described in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. Alternatives to the standards may
be approved by the Administrator if it is demonstrated that the materials and design are equal or
superior to the requirements in the Standards. All off -street parking areas shall be graded to drain
and be maintained so as to dispose of surface water accumulated with in the area. Parking spaces
shall be arranged and marked so as to provide for orderly and safe parking of vehicles.
2. Non-Public, All-Weather Drive Surfaces.
Temporary or permanent drive surfaces required for emergency access or turnaround for
emergency vehicles must be constructed to function under all weather conditions. To
accommodate a project during construction, phasing, or permanent installation, drive s urfaces
that do not meet the requirements for permanent pavement surfaces may be allowed at the
discretion of the Administrator for the specific conditions stated below:
a. Temporary All-Weather Surface (During Construction).
A structure under construc tion must be accessible by an all -weather drive surface as specified
in the City of College Station Site Design Standards. This temporary all -weather surface must
be reworked or replaced to meet the permanent pavement standard as described in the City of
College Station Site Design Standards prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy;
b. Semi-Permanent All-Weather Surface (During Phasing).
In cases during phasing of a large project, emergency access and turnarounds often must be
added as a temporary measure until additional phases are constructed. These emergency
access areas may consist of permanent pavement surface s as specified in the City of College
Station Site Design Standards. When the additional phase is constructed, these areas must be
removed or reworked to meet the permanent pavement standards as described in the City of
College Station Site Design Standards ;
c. Permanent Surfaces.
1) All-Weather Surface (Permanent).
In some development scenarios, an emergency access or turnaround must be
constructed to meet emergency access purposes and is not required for public traffic,
service vehicles or sanitation vehicles. In these cases, the area required for emergency
ORDINANCE NO. ___________ Page 10 of 16
access only may meet the permanent pavement standards as specified in the City of
College Station Site Design Standards.
2) Permeable Surface.
(a) The use of porous materials (such as permeable concrete and pavers) to
mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water may be used in off-street
parking areas if the material meets vehicular loading standards and is
approved by the Administrator.
(b) Fire lanes may be constructed of porous materials such as permeable concrete
and pavers to mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water, so long as it
is demonstrated that the permeable surface can obtain sufficient land and
compaction ratings for its application as approved by the City of College
Station Fire and Sanitation Departments.
(c) Single-family and townhouse visitor parking areas, as required in Single -
Family Residential Parking Requirements for Platting, may also be
constructed of porous materials such as permeable concrete and pavers to
mitigate storm water sheeting and pooling of water.
(d) Permeable surfaces approved as provided above shall be maintained in
accordance with industry standards and to achieve mitigation of storm water
sheeting and pooling of water. Failure to maintain permeable surfaces as
required herein, shall constitute a violation of this Sec tion of the UDO for
which penalty provisions may be involved.
G. Curbing Required.
1. General.
The perimeter of all paved surfaces shall be curbed as described in the City of College Station
Site Design Standards. Unless otherwise required pursuant of this Section, curbs may be omitted
where drive aisles or parking spaces are located adjacent to a building if bollards or other
protective devices are installed to protect pedestrian areas. Alternatives to the standards may be
approved by the Administrator if it is demonstrated that the materials and design are equal or
superior to the requirements in the Standards.
2. Temporary Curbing.
A temporary curb may be permitted in lieu of the minimum standard stated in the City of College
Station Site Design Standards, at the discretion of the Administrator, when a project is phased in
such a way that a permanent, monolithic curb may preclude dev elopment of future phases or
limit access to a recorded private or public access easement adjoining properties. Wheel stops
shall not be permitted as a temporary curbing. Temporary curbing must have the appearance of
permanent curbing and shall be temporar ily attached to the pavement surfacing below and meet
the minimum standards for dowelled -in curbs as described in the City of College Station Site
Design Standards.
ORDINANCE NO. ___________ Page 11 of 16
H. Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
In computing the number of parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern:
1. Parking requirements based on square footage shall be based upon the gross floor area, unless
otherwise stated. Service areas such as mechanical rooms, restrooms, and closets shall be
included in the calculation of "gross floor area" for determining required parking spaces;
2. Where fractional spaces result in computing required parking spaces, the required number of
spaces must be increased to the nearest whole number. A t least one (1) parking space must be
provided unless otherwise specified in this UDO;
3. The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed shall be the same as those for
the most similar to the proposed use, as determined by the Administrato r;
4. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this UDO is
changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating
capacity, or otherwise, parking requirements shall be met on the ba sis of the enlargement or
change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of this UDO is
enlarged, the enlarged building or increased use shall then and thereafter comply with the
parking requirements set forth herein;
5. Where requirements are established on the basis of the number of seats, such requirements
shall be based on the seating capacity as determined by the Building Official;
6. Where a manufacturing/industrial use has more than one (1) working shift of employees,
parking shall be provided to accommodate overlap requirements during transition periods; and
7. The Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Northgate and Wolf
Pen Creek districts if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the respective
district.

J. Alternative Parking Plans.
1. Scope.
An “Alternative Parking Plan” represents a proposal to meet vehicle parking and transportation
access needs by means other than providing parking spaces on -site in accordance with the ratios
established in Section 12-7.3.I, Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
2. Applicability.
Applicants who wish to provide fewer or more off -street parking spaces than allowed above
shall be required to secure approval of an Alternative Parking Plan, in accordance with the
standards of this Section. The Administrator may require that an Alterna tive Parking Plan be
submitted in cases where the Administrator deems the listed standard to be inappropriate
based on the unique nature of the use or in cases where the applicable standard is unclear.’
3. Contents.
Alternative Parking Plans shall be submitted in a form established by the Administrator and
made available to the public. At a minimum, such plans shall detail the type of alternative
proposed and the rationale for such a proposal.
4. Review and Approval Procedure.
The Administrator shall be authorized to approve Alternative Parking Plans. Appeals of the
Administrator's decision may be made to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5. Recording.
An attested copy of an approved Alternative Parking Plan shall be submitted to the County
Clerk's office for recordation on forms made available in the Department of Development
Services. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall be presented to the Admi nistrator prior to
issuance of a Building Permit. An approved Alternative Parking Plan may be amended by the
Administrator.
6. Eligible Alternatives.
A number of specific parking and access alternatives are described below. The Administrator
shall, however, be authorized to consider and approve any alternative to providing off -street
ORDINANCE NO. ___________ Page 15 of 16
parking spaces on the site of the subject development if the applicant demonstrates that the
proposed plan shall result in a better situation with respect to surrounding neighbo rhoods, City-
wide traffic circulation, and urban design than would strict compliance with otherwise applicable
off-street parking standards.
a. Demand-Based Parking.
When the developer of a non-residential or multi-family development can demonstrate that
such development will require fewer parking spaces than required by the standards of this
Section, the Administrator may permit a reduction in the number of required parking spaces
for the development. Such a reduction in parking spaces shall be justified by the applicant
through the development of a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or
transportation planner and submitted to the Administrator . Duplex, townhomes and single
family developments are not eligible for the demand -based parking option.
b. Shared Parking.
The Administrator may authorize a reduction in the number of required off -street parking
spaces for multiple-use developments or for uses that are located near one another and that
have different peak parking demands or different operating hours. Shared pa rking shall be
subject to the following standards:
1) Location.
Shared off-street parking spaces shall be located no farther than five hundred (500)
feet from the building site. The Administrator may waive this distance limitation, if
adequate assurances are offered regarding the usability of the shared lot and the
principle use (such as the operation of a van or shuttle service, etc.).
2) Zoning Classification.
Shared-parking areas shall be considered accessory uses of principal uses that the
parking spaces are intended to serve. Shared parking areas shall require the same or
a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of
the uses served by the shared parking area;
3) Required Study and Analysis.
The applicant shall submit a shared parking analysis to the Administrator that clearly
demonstrates the feasibility of shared parking. The study shall be provided in a form
established by the Administrator and made available to the public. It shall address , at a
minimum, the size and type of the proposed development, the composition of tenants,
the anticipated rate of parking turnover, and the anticipated peak parking and traffic
loads for all uses that shall be sharing off -street parking spaces. The Administrator
shall have the authority to require a revised study and analysis should conditions
change that may result in a change in site parking conditions;
4) Shared Parking Agreement.
A shared parking plan shall be enforced through written agreement among the owners
of record. An attested copy of the agreement shall be submitted to the County Clerk's
office for recordation on forms made available in the Department of Development
Services. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall be presented to the Administrator
prior to issuance of a Building Permit. If a shared parking agreement is revoked by the
parties to the agreement, either off-street parking must be provided pursuant to this
Section or an Alternative Parking Plan must be approved by the Administrator; and
ORDINANCE NO. ___________ Page 16 of 16
5) Revocation.
Failure to comply with the shared parking provisions of this Section shall constitute a
violation of this UDO and shall specifically be cause for revocation of a Certificate of
Occupancy or Building Permit.
c. Off-Site Parking.
The Administrator may permit all or a portion of the required off -street parking spaces to be
located on a remote and separate lot from the lot on which the principal use is located, subject
to the standards of this Section.
1) Location.
No off-site parking space shall be located more than five hundred (500) feet from
the building site. The Administrator may waive this distance limitation if adequate
assurances are offered regarding the usability of the off -site lot and the principle
use (such as the operation of a van or shuttle service, etc.).
2) Zoning Classification.
Off-site parking areas shall be considered accessory uses of principal uses that the
parking spaces are intended to serve. Off -site parking areas shall require the same
or a more intensive zoning classification than th at required for the use served;
3) Off-Site Parking Agreement.
In the event that an off -site parking area is not under the same ownership as the
principal use served, a written agreement among the owners of re cord shall be
required. An attested copy of the agreement between the owners of record shall be
submitted to the County Clerk's Office for recordation on forms made available in
the office of the Administrator. Proof of recordation of the agreement shall b e
presented to the Administrator prior to issuance of a Building Permit. If an off-site
parking agreement is revoked by the parties to the agreement, either off-street
parking must be provided on-site pursuant to this Section or an Alternative Parking
Plan must be approved by the Administrator.
d. Bicycle Parking.
The Administrator may authorize a reduction in the number of required off -street parking
spaces for developments or uses that make special provisions to accommodate bicyclists.
Examples of accommodations include bicycle lockers, employee shower facilities, and
dressing areas for employees.”
