Relationship to Strategic Goals: ·Diverse Growing Economy Recommendation: Receive staff’s presentation and provide feedback and direction as desired. Summary:City Council requested this item at their September 13th meeting after considering a rezoning request to amend the development standards of the BioCorridor Planned Development District,to which the BioCorridor Board did not provide a recommendation. Background:On December 16,2011,the College Station City Council adopted an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Bryan for a Joint BioCorridor Development Project.The major provisions of the ILA includes cost and revenue sharing between the municipalities,coordinated infrastructure delivery,unified economic development incentives,and unified land uses,development standards,and project review processes.In conformance with the last provision-unified land uses,development standards,and project review processes- city staff from College Station and Bryan worked together with a subcommittee of P&Z members from both cities to develop the BioCorridor Planned Development District zoning,which was adopted in both communities in September 2012. The development standards require a BioCorridor Board that is representative of the multijurisdictional nature of the ILA area.The primary task of the Board is consideration of appeals and waivers to the BioCorridor development standards.The creation,terms,and powers of the Board as written in the PDD ordinance is mirrored in the City of College Station’s Unified Development Ordinance to validate the membership and its work as a City committee.
