November 15, 2018 P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 3
Senior Planner Helton presented the Preliminary Plan and waiver requests to the Commission and
recommended approval.
Chairperson Kee asked if the minor waiver request could be approved at staff level by
administrator’s discretion.
Ms. Helton stated that the waiver could have been approved at staff level, however there are several
waivers, and staff decided to group and present them together.
Commissioner Christiansen asked for future plans on Rock Prairie Road redevelopment.
Transportation Planning Coordinator Schubert stated that on the City’s Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP), there is a planned future widening of Rock Prairie Road from State Highway 6 to Medical
Avenue. Mr. Schubert further stated that this is a future project projected to begin within three to
five years.
Applicant, Joe Schultz, Schultz Engineering, was available to answer questions from the
Commission.
Commissioner Osborne motioned to approve the Preliminary Plan and waiver requests, as all

7. Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an ordinance amending
Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 7.2.H, “Height,” and Section 11.2,

000008 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the November 19, 2018 City Council
meeting – subject to change)
Assistant Director of Planning & Development Services Hitchcock presented the Ordinance
Amendment to the Commission and recommended approval.
Chairperson Kee stated that it would help to have a statement referencing that applicants must still
meet the setback of zoning districts.
Chairperson Kee opened the public hearing.
Veronica Morgan, Mitchell & Morgan Engineers, asked if staff could clarify the ordinance as it
applies to a multi-family structure built next to a single-family zoned development with a common
area. Ms. Morgan asked if the common area would be an exception, or would 2:1 height protection
still apply.
Ms. Hitchcock stated that the 2:1 height protection would still apply, however this would be an
excellent item for a Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) variance.
Chairperson Kee closed the public hearing.
There was general consensus amongst the Commission to measure from a buildable lot.
November 15, 2018 P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 3

Applicant Gattis Engineering
Project Manager Laura Gray, Senior Planner
Project Overview The applicants would like to expand the Crossroads Moving
and Storage business into Phase 2 of their PDD Concept Plan.
The preliminary plan reconfigures two unplatted tracts into
one 0.589-acre lot and one 8.579-acre lot. Approximately
0.298 acres of right-of-way dedication is being provided for
the future expansion of Wellborn Road. One discretionary

City of College Station Subdivision Regulations
Planning & Zoning Discretionary Item – Sidewalk Fee in Lieu of Construction
REQUEST
The application of Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.3.K to the Preliminary Plan for
the Marek Subdivision would require a public sidewalk to be constructed along FM 2154 (a 4-
lane major arterial). FM 2154 is not scheduled to be improved in the immediate future. No
sidewalk exists to the immediate north or south of the subject property. The applicant would
like to pay fee in lieu of sidewalk construction for approximately 1,180-linear feet of sidewalk
adjacent to FM 2154.
CRITERIA
UDO Section 8.3.K.5.b ‘Fee in Lieu of Construction’ allows the Planning and Zoning
Commission to authorize the payment of a fee in lieu of constructing a required sidewalk or
multi-use path when it determines one or more special conditions exist as cited at UDO
Section 8.3.K.5.b.3.
The applicant is requesting to pay a fee of approximately $35,400 in lieu of sidewalk
construction citing UDO Section 8.3.K.5.b.3.d 'Existing streets constructed to rural section that
are not identified on the Thoroughfare Plan with an Estate/Rural context'.
Currently this portion of F.M. 2154 is constructed to rural section without curbs and with
drainage swales. The Thoroughfare shows the property as having a 'Suburban' context (not
Estate/Rural). This location therefore qualifies for consideration of fee in lieu of sidewalk.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the discretionary item for the UDO Section 8.3.K.5.b. 'Fee in Lieu
of Construction.

SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUEST
This Final Plat is comprised of 7.6 acres. The applicant is proposing the final plat of 9
single-family lots, 1 mixed-use lot, a common area, and the replat of 1 single-family lot,
and a Public Way as a step towards developing the PDD that was approved in
November of 2017, with a mix of residential and non-residential uses.
UDO Section 8.3.H.1.h ‘Lots’: This section allows lots not intended for single-
family or duplex uses that do not have frontage on a public street to provide access
via a Public Way. The specific waiver is to the design standards of a Public Way,
that require five-foot sidewalks to be provided on each side of the Public Way drive
and placed a minimum three (3) feet from the back of curb.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the
Planning and Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the
waiver (Staff findings are in italics).
Waiver 1: Section 8.3.H.1.h ‘Lots’: The specific waiver is to the design standards of a
Public Way that require five-foot sidewalks to be provided on each side of the Public
Way drive and placed a minimum three (3) feet from the back of curb. The applicant is
requesting a waiver to allow the portion of the five-foot sidewalk located along 718
Vassar Court to be placed at back of curb, and eliminate the three feet of green space
required between the sidewalk and back of curb. Staff recommends approval of this
request.
1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land;
The applicant has been working with the abutting property owners to secure access
easements that would allow the a portion of the required sidewalk along the Public Way
to be located on their property, thereby maintaining an alignment with the Public Way
and Ashburn Avenue that would meet City regulations. They have been able to secure
these access easements from all of the abutting property owners except for the owners
at 718 Vassar Court.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
This waiver will allow the Public Way to maintain a code compliant alignment with
Ashburn Avenue without disrupting the orderly placement of the remainder of the Public
Way.
3) The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this
chapter; and
The applicant is still providing a safe facility for pedestrians, with a 10-foot multi-use path
along the north side of the Public Way.
4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
All of the surrounding properties have been platted and developed and therefore the
granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of
other land in the area.
Summary of staff recommendations
Staff is recommending approval of the waiver.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Tower Point Phase 13C, Block 1, Lot 3
Case #: REZ2018-000018
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Lauren Hovde, Senior Planner
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 4, Zoning Districts,”
Section 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 and GC General Commercial to
GC General Commercial for Tower Point Subdivision Phase 13C, Block 1, Lot 1, being
approximately 2.47 acres located at 4320 State Highway 6 South, generally located near the
intersection of Arrington Road and State Highway 6 in the northern portion of the Tower Point
Subdivision. Case # REZ2018-000018 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the
January 10, 2019 City Council Meeting).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request.
Summary: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R Rural and GC General Commercial to
GC General Commercial. The purpose behind this rezoning request is to make approximately
2,600 square feet of the 2.47 acres, currently zoned R Rural, consistent with the overall GC
General Commercial on the lot. Staff believes this portion of the lot was left R Rural (A-O
Agricultural-Open at the time) during the 2001 rezoning of the property due to either surveyor
error or a mistaken floodplain / tributary location. Staff considers this item to be “clean up” in
nature.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject
area is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map as
SC Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved. Suburban Commercial land
use designation is generally for areas that should have a moderate level of commercial
development activities that are complimentary and conducive to surrounding residential
uses. Natural Areas-Reserved is intended for the preservation of natural areas such as
floodplain. The request for GC General Commercial would allow for the most intense
commercial activities permitted within the City of College Station. Therefore, the request
is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map as GC
General Commercial zoning exceeds the development opportunity for both a SC
Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved Land Use designation.
However, the subject property is located within the existing Tower Point Subdivision.
This commercial center began the development process in 1997 as the Crowley Tract
and encompassed over 100 acres of undeveloped property. In 2001, the area
underwent a large-scale rezoning to C-1 General Commercial, while leaving the
floodplain and drainage / detention areas as A-O Agricultural-Open. These zoning
names were changed to GC General Commercial and R Rural following the adoption of
the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and
Character Map therefore shows a less intense land use designation, being SC
Suburban Commercial and Natural Areas-Reserved, than allowed under the pre-
existing zoning of GC General Commercial. This request does not affect the majority of
the subject property, but only approximately 2,600 square feet at the rear portion
(western side) of the lot which abuts a common Tower Point drainage easement. The
purpose of including the platted lot as a whole in this request is to alleviate the concern
of future metes and bounds discrepancies in regards to zoning boundaries in the
general area.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in
the context of the surrounding area: The subject property is located within the Tower
Point subdivision which is zoned GC General Commercial in all developing areas. Portions
of Tower Point not intended for development such floodplain, drainage, and detention
areas were left R Rural. The R Rural piece of the subject property is believed to be once
part of a drainage easement, floodplain, or possible tributary location that is no longer in
place. Therefore, this portion of the property no longer necessitates the R Rural
designation.
The development for commercial uses began in this area prior to the nearby single-family
attached and detached uses within the Spring Creek and Spring Creek Gardens
Subdivisions to the west, though construction of those residential uses was completed
prior to this Phase of Tower Point. In addition, the commercial property is separated from
the nearby single-family residential development by an approximately 80-foot wide R Rural
zoned area used for drainage purposes. This area was platted as a non-buildable lot and
will serve as a buffering distance between commercial and residential uses.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning
district: The subject tract is primarily zoned GC General Commercial and has been
platted and prepared for commercial development on site. Having confirmed the absence
of floodplain on the rear portion of the lot, the remaining non-commercial portion has been
deemed as also physically suitable for GG General Commercial zoning and development.
The site will utilize the existing Tower Point detention and drainage system; therefore, on
site detention will not likely be required upon site planning.
Being located on the State Highway 6 South frontage road and having convenient access
from the Barron Road and William D Fitch Parkway freeway exits, makes the commercial
component well suited for the physical location. Having access via Private Access
Easements to both State Highway 6 South, a Freeway, and Arrington Road, a two-lane
major collector on the Thoroughfare Plan, encourages intense commercial activity.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation
facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning
district: Water service will be served by the City of College Station. There is an existing
12-inch water line on the north-east side that the development may utilize to serve the
property. Sanitary Sewer service is available via an existing 8-inch sewer on the north-east
side. The subtract tract is in the Spring Creek Drainage Basin, and there is no FEMA
regulated floodplain on the site. The subject tract was included in the Tower Point Master
Drainage Plan, and detention is provided by the existing detention facility. Drainage and
other public infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. All other
infrastructure appears to have adequate capacity to serve the proposed rezoning.
5. The marketability of the property: Currently, the site may develop for commercial uses
by right except for the portion zoned R Rural at the rear (western side) of the property. The
majority of the subject property is currently zoned for general commercial uses which has
impacted its marketability. The proposed zoning request increases the marketability by
allowing for the whole property to be utilized for general commercial uses. Tower Point has
seen a moderate speed of commercial construction which commenced in approximately
2008 and has been steady since that time.

Regular Agenda
Comprehensive Plan Amendment –Whitt Tract
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Jade Broadnax, Staff Planner
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from
Wellborn Estate to Wellborn Commercial for approximately 7.37 acres, generally located on the
west side of FM2154, approximately 500-feet south of Barron Cut-off Road. Case #CPA2018-
000003 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the January 10, 2019 City Council
Meeting- Subject to change.)
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
While there are sewer capacity constraints on the site, staff is supportive given these concerns
will need to be addressed at the time of rezoning and/or platting.
Summary: The applicant is requesting the proposed future land use amendment by amending
the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Wellborn Estate to Wellborn
Commercial on two tracts of land, one of which is not within city limits. This development is
intended to serve the nearby residents and provide compatible uses within the context of the
surrounding area. The 4.0 acre tract is located outside the city limits in the Extraterritorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ) and is surrounded on all sides by city property as a result of entering into a
ten year non-annexation agreement in 2011. This non-annexation agreement states that should
“development” occur, the property effectively enters voluntary annexation. A Comprehensive
Plan Amendment is not considered “development”, however, a proposed rezoning or plat will
effectively constitute a petition for voluntary annexation. The property owner is pursuing the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment for increased marketability. If the proposed Wellborn
Commercial land use amendment is granted, the applicant is prepared to begin the annexation
process. Downstream sewer capacity is limited in this area, and downstream sanitary
improvements will be required by the developer if peak sanitary sewer demands increase
beyond the originally anticipated Wellborn Estate land use assumptions. The utility demand
model uses the most intense predicted uses that may occur at the time of development, and the
most intense land uses allowed by the proposed designation exceeds current sewer capacity for
these tracts without downstream improvements. Sewer capacity will be a consideration at the
time of rezoning if/when a rezoning is requested.
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area or the City: The existing
Future Land Use and Character designation on the property is Wellborn Estate, which is
defined as a land use designation that “...due to public service limitations or a prevailing
rural character, should have limited development activities. These areas tend to consist
of low-density single-family residential lots of two acres or more but may be one acre if
clustered around undeveloped open space.”
While this future land use designation could support low-density residential
development, the Wellborn area has experienced a significant increase in single-family
developments in recent years. Wellborn Settlement and Creek Meadows are two single
family residential developments, totaling 70-acres and 115-acres respectively, both of
which have filed plats for various phases of development in the past year. The
anticipated influx of new residents would benefit from diversified commercial land uses
that are compatible in size and scale according to the Wellborn Community Plan. The
Wellborn Community Plan was adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan in 2013 with
the goal of establishing a community of rural character positioned for contextually
appropriate growth that embodies and sustains the uniqueness and history of the area.
The proposed Wellborn Commercial land use encourages the allocation of commercial
development at a scale appropriate for the recent residential growth in the area.
Wellborn Commercial is described as: “Intended to provide for low-density commercial
uses that provide services to nearby neighborhoods. Such uses shall be limited in size
and not accommodate drive-thru services. Specific design elements should be
incorporated into such developments to limit the visual impact on the community and
enhance the defined character.”
The Wellborn Community has seen an influx of low density single family residential
development, accompanied by contextually appropriate agricultural land uses and small
scale commercial development that serve the residents of the rural Wellborn area. The
subject area is anticipated to offer a variety of commercial land uses compatible with the
larger Wellborn Community; thus prompting the request to amend the Future Land Use
map to Wellborn Commercial.
2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The adjacent
existing land uses to the north, east, and west are large lot single-family and unimproved
rural tracts varying in size from two to ten acres. Of the surrounding properties, most all
are designated for single-family development on the Future Land Use and Character
map. Wellborn Baptist Church, located directly south of the subject area, is designated
as Institutional on the Comprehensive Plan. Existing uses such as “America’s Country
Store” and “Aggieland Grass and Stone” are agricultural entities that existed prior to
annexation in 2011, and are anticipated to continue operating as such in the future.
The Wellborn Commercial future land use sets the stage for the Wellborn Commercial
zoning designation which allows for future development of low-density commercial uses
such as art studios, health clubs, personal service shops, restaurants limited to 8,000
square feet, and retail sales limited to 10,000 square feet. A Wellborn Commercial
development would serve the nearby residents while providing a variety of commercial
uses compatible with the surrounding area.
The proposed amendment from Wellborn Estate to Wellborn Commercial on just over 7
acres does not limit the general goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The subject tracts
have street frontage along FM2154, which is currently constructed as two-lane rural
section roadway and has been designated as a future four-lane Major Arterial on the
Thoroughfare Plan. The amendment is proposing a density and level of service
compatible with the planned growth for this area.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: This area is not recognized
as environmentally sensitive, nor is there any FEMA regulated floodplain onsite.
4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the
transportation network: The subject tract is served by the Wellborn SUD for water
service, and additional infrastructure improvements may be needed with further site
development to meet minimum fire flow requirements.
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by College Station Utilities for properties located
in the corporate boundary. There is a 12-inch sanitary sewer line located at the rear of
both the 3.37-acre tract and the 4.00-acre tract. The 3.37-acre tract is within the City’s
corporate limits, however, the 4.00-acre tract is within the City’s ETJ. Per City policy,
sanitary sewer service can only be provided to properties within the City’s corporate
limits. An exception to this policy is allowed, only if approved by City Council, although a
proposed rezoning or plat will effectively constitute a petition for voluntary annexation for
the 4.0-acre tract not yet incorporated into city limits.
The 4.0-acre tract is currently located in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) due to an
active 10-year non-annexation agreement that began in 2011. Extension of sanitary
sewer lines will be required in order to serve this property at the time of site development
after legal annexation. Downstream sewer capacity is limited in this area, and
downstream sanitary improvements will be required by the developer if peak sanitary
sewer demands increase beyond the originally anticipated Wellborn Estate land use
assumptions.
Drainage is generally to the west within the Peach Creek Drainage Basin. Currently,
there is no FEMA regulated floodplain on site, however, detention will be required with
site development. Drainage and other public infrastructure required with the site shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines.
The subject tract has frontage to FM 2154 which is designated as a future four-lane
Major Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan, and right of way dedication may be required at
the time of platting. FM 2154 is currently constructed as two-lane rural section roadway
and is under TxDOT jurisdiction. The applicant anticipates driveway access to FM2154
which would require a TxDOT permit. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required
for review as part of the request for a Future Land Use and Character Map amendment.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan:
The proposal is consistent with the goals and strategies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The goal for College Station’s Future Land Use and Character is to create a community
with strong, unique neighborhoods, protected rural areas, special districts, distinct
corridors, and a protected and enhanced natural environment. The subject property and
surrounding area are identified in the Comprehensive Plan as part of the Wellborn
Community Plan, which seeks to preserve the rural character and sustain the
uniqueness and history of the area. Currently, the Comprehensive Plan has established
many contiguous properties adjacent to FM 2154 between Barron Cut-off Road and
Greens Prairie Road West as Wellborn Commercial. The Wellborn Commercial land use
encourages compatible growth by providing the option for a mix of appropriate
commercial uses needed to support the residents in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. While there are
sewer capacity constraints on the site, staff is supportive given these concerns will need to be
addressed at the time of rezoning and/or platting.

Supporting Information
1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City.
Since the last amendments to the Comprehensive Plan in the Wellborn Area there has
been an economic boom led by the dramatic increase in single family homes. The
expansion of large developments such as the Castlegate, Saddle Creek, and Creek
Meadows, has transformed the Wellborn area from a community of 1-acre estate lots to
dense neighborhoods full of young families. These families need easy access to services
and opening up a portion of the Wellborn Road area to Wellborn Commercial
development would help satisfy the needs of these growing communities.
2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the
immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole.
Current existing uses near the subject property are Wellborn Baptist Church,
Aggieland Grass and Stone, The Home Center (Home Improvement Store), and
America’s Country Store. None of these uses would be harmed by a change to
Wellborn Commercial zoning for the property, and most would likely benefit from it.
The closest home to any point on the property line is over 400’ away leaving a
substantial buffer between any new business and any current resident. In the general
area to the north of the property along Wellborn Road there are numerous businesses
including Prosperity Bank, several Convenience Stores, Chicken Express, Dollar
General, Mini Storage Facilities, and the New HEB at Jones Crossing. The property
would be compatible with all of these uses. The property would greatly benefit the
development pattern of the city as a whole because it relieves major developments such
as Jones Crossing, Tower Point, and Caprock Crossing of traffic, and simultaneously
adds convenience to local residents who travel Wellborn Road.
3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas.
The existing condition of the property is open pasture land, so there does not appear to
be any environmentally sensitive areas. Development will occur in accordance with the
Unified Development Ordinance, which addresses potential impacts caused by the
development.
4. Impacts on infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation
network.
The land use change is requested for approximately 7 acres. The impacts on
infrastructure will not be significant due to its size. Wellborn SUD provides water
service to this area and has an existing 14” pipe on the property and can adequately
provide water service including fire protection. Although there is not sanitary sewer
service currently to this property, it is nearby as there is an existing lift station to the
north of the property, an existing gravity line to the south and the Brewster Pointe
development to the east will be extending a gravity line to within 1,500’ of this property.
Impacts to the existing drainage system will be mitigated by the construction of
stormwater detention facilities with the development of the land in accordance with the
UDO. Impacts to the transportation network for the overall city shall be minimal, as
this development will allow access to services nearer to their homes and limits the
number of vehicle trips into the core of the city.
5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
A change to Wellborn Commercial Land Use and zoning would satisfy two key aspects
of the comprehensive plan that have been overlooked in the Wellborn Community.
First, it would pro-actively create and maintain economic opportunities for all citizens.
Currently, land uses in the comprehensive plan do not favor small businesses and is
too restrictive for small business owners. Furthermore, most small business owners
cannot afford to be in Wellborn Commercial zoned areas such as Tower Point or
Caprock Crossing. Having said that, the second benefit in a land use and zoning
change would be to support well planned, quality, and sustainable growth. Opening up
a small portion of the Wellborn Road area to Wellborn Commercial uses would greatly
benefit small business users and would allow organic growth that currently cannot
happen in south College Station. The services that would be offered to members of the
Castlegate, Saddle Creek, Creek Meadows and other neighborhoods would also greatly
reduce stress on more interior commercial developments and infrastructure including
roadways with heavy traffic.

MEMORANDUM
December 20, 2018
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Lauren Hovde, AICP, Senior Planner
Justin Constantino, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Annual Review of the Comprehensive Plan & Unified Development Ordinance
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Annual Review of the
Comprehensive Plan and the Annual Review of the Unified Development Ordinance.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009 and acts as a guide to ensure that the goals and objectives of
the City are implemented by acting as a long-range planning and policy structure for future growth. It
focuses on the creation and enhancement of places of distinction in College Station. The Plan recognizes
the importance of character and capitalizes on that character to offer the greatest flexibilities for
development while protecting special places. Yearly reviews are performed to ensure that the
Comprehensive Plan remains relevant and to identify any changes necessary to accommodate College
Station’s future growth.
The City’s Neighborhood, District & Corridor Planning program produces plans that are intended to serve
as short-term action plans for specific areas, focusing on the particular needs identified by those that live
and own property in those areas. The City has adopted five neighborhood plans and one district plan , five
of which are currently in implementation. The City has also adopted a number of specific master plans as
amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan that are currently in the implementation phase.
Unified Development Ordinance
The Annual Review of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is required by the UDO as an on-going
effort to keep the development codes of the City of College Station current and relevant. Included , as part
of the review, is a list of amendments to the UDO during the past 12 months.
Summary of Item
The Annual Review of the Comprehensive Plan and UDO highlight some of the City’s major initiatives
this past year. The Review is organized by project type and assesses significant actions and
accomplishments during the past year that further the implementation of the Plan. The report is an
interactive format that links to detailed information on the City’s web pages, including the original plans,
maps, and a more detailed implementation status.
