variance and why any changes would constitute a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustments.
Planning Administrator Golbabai explained that subdivision regulations regulate new subdivisions
and zoning regulations regulate lot size. Mr. Golbabai further stated that this particular ordinance is
an amendment to lot size for the neighborhood, and if a property owner were to do something
different, they would be requesting an amendment (variance) to the zoning and not the subdivision
regulations.
Commissioner Osborne asked of the modifications requested, for staff to clarify which City
department(s) is in charge of enforcing the items.
Planning Administrator Golbabai explained that the maximum building height, the minimum lot
size, and tree caliper would be governed by the building plans examiners and planning staff.

preservation of the neighborhood.
Bob Richers, Dulaney Subdivision, College Station, spoke in favor of the NCO citing the value of
the park to the neighborhood.
Lynette Morrison, Woodson Village Phase 1, College Station, spoke in regards to not being included
within the NCO boundaries.
Chantal Vessali, Oakwood Subdivision, College Station, spoke in opposition of the NCO citing a
lack of due process, challenging the validity of the signatures, gerrymandering and notification
errors.
Carlos Ayllon, College Park Subdivision, College Station, spoke in opposition of the NCO stating
that the process is flawed.
Lee Duggan, College Park Subdivision, College Station, spoke in opposition of the NCO citing the
flawed process, lack of notification, and gerrymandering. Mr. Duggan also stated that the required
50% + 1 signatures is not a large enough majority to constitute an overlay.
Will Botts, College Park Subdivision, College Station, spoke in support of the overlay.
Chairperson Kee closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Christiansen asked about the NCO menu, and if limitation of unrelated occupants
can and will be included in the NCO.
Planning Administrator Golbabai stated that there is currently a policy discussion regarding the
limitation of unrelated occupants, however, this NCO does not have the option to limit unrelated
occupants. Mr. Golbabai stated that property owners can amend the NCO with a new overlay at a
later time to add the limitation, but would need to start the entire process over again.
Commissioner Christiansen asked how NCO boundaries were decided.
Planning Administrator Golbabai stated that the applicant proposes a boundary, and that City Staff
determines if the boundary set forth is in line with the ordinance, and is compact and contiguous.
Commissioner Osborne questioned the long term impacts of the NCO on current and future property
owners within the boundaries, and asked if there was an opt-out clause.
Planning Administrator Golbabai stated that there is not an opt-out clause, however the homeowner
can choose to request to rezone their property if they please.
Commissioner Oldham asked if the intent of the NCO is to eventually limit the single-family
occupant limit within the boundaries.
Mr. Glover stated that this is not the intent of the overlay.
February 7, 2019 P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 5
Commissioner Oldham asked if there were current City conversations regarding moving in the
direction of limiting housing occupants.
Planning Administrator Golbabai stated that currently, part of the neighborhood integrity discussion
is to make the ordinance more flexible, and potentially add this option to the toolbox.
Commissioner Osborne asked about affordability mentioned in the rezoning application.
Mr. Glover stated that he sees no reason for tax values to change as a result of the NCO.
Commissioner Guerra motioned to recommend approval of the Rezoning as presented by
Staff. Commissioner Mather seconded the motion.
There was general discussion amongst the Commission.
The motion passed (7-0).
7. Discussion and possible action on future agenda items – A Planning & Zoning Member may inquire
about a subject for which notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or
the recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to
place the subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting.

Project Overview With the exception of the addition of the property zoned
Multi-Family located along Turkey Creek Road, the revised
Preliminary Plan matches the Preliminary Plan approved
for this property in June of 2016. The original preliminary
plan expired in September 2018 after two years of platting
inactivity and therefore, a new preliminary plan is
required. Staff finds that there have been no substantial
changes on or surrounding the property since the effective
approval date of the original Preliminary Plan and
therefore, recommends approval of the waivers as
outlined below.
Parkland Dedication $687 per multi-family bedroom will be required at time of
building permit.

SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUESTS
This Preliminary Plan is comprised of 105 acres. The applicant is proposing the final plat of 14
lots and 8 common areas as a step towards developing the BioCorridor PDD that was
approved in 2012, with a mix of residential and non-residential uses. The revised Preliminary
Plan matches the Preliminary Plan that was approved for this property in June of 2016, with
the exception of the addition of the property zoned Multi-Family located along Turkey Creek
Road. The 2016 Preliminary Plan expired in September of 2018 in accordance Section
7.1.E.1.g ‘Effect of Approval’, which states that a Preliminary Plan shall expire after two (2)
years of platting inactivity. Staff finds that there have been no substantial changes on or
surrounding the property since the effective approval date of the original Preliminary Plan and
therefore, recommends approval of the waivers as outlined below.
The Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations as they apply
to this project in the BioCorridor Planned Development District and the City of College Station
UDO with the following waiver requests listed below. The associated tables list the areas where
the waivers are needed.
Subdivision Regulations Section 8.2.G.1 ‘Block Length’ – The requirement under
this section states “in order to provide a public street network that is complimentary
to the City’s Thoroughfare Plan and that ensures uniform access and circulation to
areas intended for similar land use contexts, block length shall not exceed the
following dimensions based on the land use designations in this Ordinance:
a. Six hundred sixty feet (660 ft.) in the BioCorridor Research & Development
District (same block length maximum permitted for Urban per the UDO);
b. One thousand two hundred feet (1,200 ft.) in the BioCorridor
Manufacturing District east of the area identified as Greenbelt on the
BioCorridor District Map.

In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the BioCorridor
Board should make the following findings to recommend approval of the waiver:
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 proposed Preliminary Plan matches the Preliminary Plan that was approved for
this property in June of 2016, with the exception of the addition of the property zoned
Multi-Family located along Turkey Creek Road. The previously approved Preliminary
Plan expired in September of 2018 in accordance Section 7.1.E.1.g ‘Effect of
Approval’, which states that a Preliminary Plan shall expire after two (2) years of
platting inactivity.
Staff finds that there have been no substantial changes on or surrounding the
property since the effective approval date of the original Preliminary Plan that would
necessitate modifications to the proposed street network.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant;
The proposed Preliminary Plan matches the Preliminary Plan that was approved
for this property in June of 2016, with the exception of the addition of the property
zoned Multi-Family located along Turkey Creek Road. The previously approved
Preliminary Plan expired in September of 2018 in accordance Section 7.1.E.1.g
‘Effect of Approval’, which states that a Preliminary Plan shall expire after two (2)
years of platting inactivity.
Staff finds that there have been no substantial changes on or surrounding the
property since the effective approval date of the original Preliminary Plan that
would necessitate modifications to the proposed street network. The applicant
also states that due to the amount of street frontage provided for each lot,
additional connections may provide little benefit.
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 granting of the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property.
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.
The granting of the waiver will not prevent the orderly subdivision of the other land,
as the surrounding properties have frontage to Right-of-Way.
BIOCORRIDOR BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The BioCorridor Board heard this item at their February 8, 2019 meeting and unanimously
recommended approval of the waivers to Section 8.2.G.1 ‘Block Length, Section 8.2.G.3.a
‘Block Perimeter’, and Section 8.2.J.2 ‘Access Ways’, and the Preliminary Plan.

Traditions Subdivision - Waiver Requests
Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 1 – Block 2:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 1, BLOCK 2, which is 1,050 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the south side of
HSC Parkway between Atlas Pear Drive and South Traditions Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that the 660’
block length requirement would limit the size of a lot that could be developed for a
single user who may want additional adjacent land to expand its business. For
example, it is likely that Lots 1 and 2 could be developed by a single company.
Also, a Developer may want larger lots for multiple buildings which can be leased
to various users. Additional subdividing of the lots may occur as the development
progresses, however, limiting the size of the lots that can be provided at this time
could become a factor in whether a business chooses to locate in the Bio-Corridor.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 2 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,200’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing
little benefit to the development. Access from lot to lot can be achieved with private
cross access drives and shared driveways.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global firms
that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. Additional
subdividing of the proposed lots to comply with the block length requirements may
eliminate some firms from considering to locate in this development.
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
subdivision regulations. The granting of the waivers for this development will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property
as the development will comply with all other standards and requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance. The granting of this waiver will not affect the subdivision
of other land since the block is within this development and does not have any
effect on subdivision of other land.
Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 2 – Block 2:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 2, BLOCK 2, which is 1,211 feet in
length which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the
west side of Atlas Pear Drive between HSC Parkway and Cashion Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that the 660’
block length requirement would limit the size of a lot that could be developed for a
single user who may want additional adjacent land to expand its business. For
example, it is likely that Lots 1 and 2 could be developed by a single company.
Also, a Developer may want larger lots for multiple buildings which can be leased
to various users. Additional subdividing of the lots may occur as the development
progresses, however, limiting the size of the lots that can be provided at this time
could become a factor in whether a business chooses to locate in the Bio-Corridor.
A stormwater detention pond is proposed for the center of this block face which
limits street placement.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 2 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,200’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing
little benefit to the development. Access from lot to lot can be achieved with private
cross access drives and shared driveways.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. . The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global
firms that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. Additional
subdividing of the proposed lots to comply with the block length requirements may
eliminate some firms from considering to locate in this development.
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
subdivision regulations. The granting of the waivers for this development will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property
as the development will comply with all other standards and requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance. The granting of this waiver will not affect the subdivision
of other land since the block is within this development and does not have any
effect on subdivision of other land.
Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 3 – Block 2:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 3, BLOCK 2, which is 929 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the east side of
South Traditions Drive between HSC Parkway and Cashion Drive.

The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 4, BLOCK 2, which is 675 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the north side of
Cashion Drive between South Traditions Drive and Atlas Pear Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the

Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 5 – Block 3:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 1, BLOCK 3, which is 723 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the south side of
HSC Parkway between Atlas Pear Drive and Turkey Creek Road.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that adding a
street to meet the 660’ block length requirement would result in a short street since
Lots 2 and 3 of Block 3 are planned for a single multi-family development.
Additional subdividing of Lot 1, Block 3 may occur as the development progresses,
however, limiting the size of the lots that can be provided at this time could become
a factor in whether a business chooses to locate in the Bio-Corridor.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 3 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,000’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing
little benefit to the development.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global firms
that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. Additional
subdividing of the proposed lots to comply with the block length requirements may
eliminate some firms from considering to locate in this development. Adding a
street would result in a short street that dead ends into a proposed multi-family
development.
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
subdivision regulations. The granting of the waivers for this development will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property
as the development will comply with all other standards and requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance. The granting of this waiver will not affect the subdivision
of other land since the adjacent tracts will have public street access on 2 sides as
shown on the Preliminary Plan.
Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 6 – Block 3:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 2, BLOCK 3, which is 1,165 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the west side of
Turkey Creek Road between HSC Parkway and the projection of Cashion Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that

reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that adding a
street to meet the 660’ block length requirement would result in a short street since

In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 3 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,000’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing
little benefit to the development.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global firms
that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. Additional
subdividing of the proposed lots to comply with the block length requirements may
eliminate some firms from considering to locate in this development. Adding a
street would result in a short street that dead ends into a proposed multi-family
development.
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
subdivision regulations. The granting of the waivers for this development will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property
as the development will comply with all other standards and requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance. The granting of this waiver will not affect the subdivision
of other land since the adjacent tract will have public street access on 2 sides as
shown on the Preliminary Plan.
Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 7 – Block 3:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 3, BLOCK 3, which is 668 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the north side of
the projected Cashion Drive between Atlas Pear Drive and Turkey Creek Road.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that adding a
street to meet the 660’ block length requirement would result in a short street since
Lots 2 and 3 of Block 3 are planned for a single multi-family development.
Additional subdividing of Lot 1, Block 3 may occur as the development progresses,
however, limiting the size of the lots that can be provided at this time could become
a factor in whether a business chooses to locate in the Bio-Corridor.

Waiver to Article 8.2.G.1.a & c. Block Length
Justification for Waiver 8 – Block 3:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH 4, BLOCK 3, which is 1,212 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block length of 660’. This block is located on the east side of
Atlas Pear Drive between HSC Parkway and the projection of Cashion Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that the 660’
block length requirement would result in a street that bisects a proposed multi-
family development.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 3 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,000’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing
little benefit to the development.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. Adding a street would prevent the development of a multi-
family development on Lots 2 and 3 of Block 3.
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

which exceeds the maximum block length of 1,200’ or 900’. This block is located on the
south side of Cashion Drive between South Traditions Drive and Turkey Creek Road.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that an
additional street to meet the 1,200’ or 900’ block length requirement does not result
in much of an improvement to the access to this block. Lot 1, Block 4 and the
adjacent Cashion and Palasota tracts will have adequate street frontage as
proposed on the Preliminary Plan.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 4 it would require the construction
of approximately 900’ of public street or public way. The addition of this public
street would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing little
benefit to the development. Access from Lot 1, Block 4 to the adjacent tracts can be
achieved with private cross access drives and shared driveways.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. . The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global
firms that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. A majority
of Lot 1, Block 4 perimeter is street frontage. An additional street to break the
block length will provide little benefit to the lot or the adjacent tracts.
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

additional street to meet the 1,200’ or 900’ block length requirement does not result
in much of an improvement to the access to this block. Lot 1, Block 5 and the
adjacent tracts along Raymond Stotzer Parkway will have adequate street frontage
as proposed on the Preliminary Plan.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 5 it would require the construction
of approximately 270’ of public street or public way in this development and 400’
on the adjacent tract(s). The addition of this public street would increase the future
maintenance costs of the City while providing little benefit to the development.
Access from Lot 1, Block 5 to the adjacent tracts can be achieved with private cross
access drives and shared driveways.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant. The Bio-Corridor will attract large national and global firms
that which may want to construct multiple buildings on their lot. A majority of Lot
1, Block 5 perimeter is street frontage. An additional street to break the block
length will provide little benefit to the lot or the adjacent tracts. The location of an
additional street would likely be near the center of the block and is unlikely it would
be extended to Raymond Stotzer Parkway since the adjacent tracts are so small that
they would not be able to incur the cost of the street extension to Raymond Stotzer
Parkway and still develop the land.
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
subdivision regulations. The granting of the waivers for this development will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property

Waiver to Article 8.2.G.3.a Block Perimeter
Justification for Waiver 14 – Block 2:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK PERIMETER, BLOCK 2, which is 3,865 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum block perimeter of 1,600’. This block is located on the south side
of HSC Parkway between Atlas Pear Drive and South Traditions Drive.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land. The special circumstances or conditions is that the 1600’
block perimeter requirement would limit the size of a lot that could be developed for
a single user who may want additional adjacent land to expand its business. For
example, it is likely that Lots 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 could be developed by a single
company. Also, a Developer may want larger lots for multiple buildings which can
be leased to various users. Additional subdividing of the lots may occur as the
development progresses, however, limiting the size of the lots that can be provided
at this time could become a factor in whether a business chooses to locate in the
Bio-Corridor.
In order to comply with the Ordinance for Block 2 it would require the construction
of approximately 1,900’ of public street or public way. The addition of these public
streets would increase the future maintenance costs of the City while providing

Ordinance. The granting of this waiver will not affect the subdivision of other land
since most of the block will be a single multi-family development.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – Bald Prairie Subdivision, Lot 10 (portion of)
Case #: REZ2019-000001
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Lauren Hovde, AICP, Senior Planner
Age nda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action 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 boundary from R Rural to GS General Suburban for Bald
Prairie Subdivision, Lot 10 (portion of), being approximately 1.5 acres located at 13981 Renee
Lane, generally located between Victoria Avenue and Renee Lane off Barron Road. Case #
REZ2019-000001 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the March 14, 2019 City
Council Meeting).
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request.
Summary: The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R Rural to GS General Suburban.
Adjacent properties are currently zoned for residential uses with a GS General Suburban
zoning. In the surrounding area, other properties are zoned R Rural or PDD- H Planned
Development District for Housing.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject
property is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character
Map as General Suburban. General Suburban is intended for medium-density
single-family housing development. Therefore, the request of GS General Suburban
zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in
the context of the surrounding area: The surrounding area is subdivided, developed,
and zoned for single-family residential and their supporting uses (such as College Station
High School). Though this portion of the Barron Road corridor was once primarily rural in
nature, it is now subdivided into numerous medium-density developments such as
Edelweiss Gardens, Cordova Ridge, Edelweiss Ridge, Reatta Meadows, Needham
Estates, Bald Prairie (replat), and Westfield Village which have developed since
annexation in 1995.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning
district: The current R Rural zoning was placed on the property upon its annexation in
1995. The property contains is a single-family structure with a drainage way located along
the northern side that assists the flow of water from neighboring developments. However,
the property still maintains suitability and adequate buildable area for single-family
development. The proposed GS General Suburban zoning may allow the property to
subdivide further to a potential minimum of 5,000 square feet per lot. Each potential lot will
require street frontage which may limit the number of lots achieved through subdivision.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation
facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning
district: Water and wastewater for this tract will be provided by College Station. The tract
has an 8” water and an 8” sewer line located along Renee Lane on the subject property
side that currently, and will continue to, serve this tract.
Detention is required in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Drainage and
any other infrastructure required with the site development shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines.
Victoria Avenue is classified as an existing two-lane Major Collector on the City’s
Thoroughfare Plan. Access for this development will be from Renee Lane, a local street. A
TIA was not required for this development, as it fell below the required threshold.
5. The marketability of the property: Rezoning the property from R Rural to GS General
Suburban can provide additional development opportunity by allowing a potential
subdivision of the property into more than one lot and therefore allowing for additional
density on the property. This opportunity for additional lots and density may increase the
marketability of the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.

MEMORANDUM
February 21, 2019
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Lauren Hovde, AICP, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: UDO Amendment – Fee In Lieu of Construction for Sidewalks
Item:
Public hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance
amendment to Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 8.3.K.5.b ‘Fee In Lieu of
Construction’ of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas regarding the
approval of sidewalk fees in lieu of construction. Case# ORDA2018-000014. (Final action on
this item is scheduled for the March 14, 2019 City Council Meeting- subject to change)
Background:
As part of the 2018 Plan of Work, Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission have worked
together to identify opportunities to amend the Unified Development Ordinance to improve
development processes. This item proposes that, in the platting process, Fee In Lieu of
Construction requests for sidewalks be approved by the Administrator rather than the Planning
and Zoning Commission. With this proposed amendment, it is anticipated that more Preliminary
Plans may be approved at a staff level, saving hours of staff time and saving applicants weeks
in waiting for a scheduled Commission meeting.
Supporting Materials:
1. Section 8.3.K.5.b ‘Fee In Lieu of Construction’ Redlines
Sec. 8.3. - General Requirements and Minimum Standards of Design for Subdivisions within the City Limits.
K. Sidewalks.
5. Timing of Construction.
b. Fee in Lieu of Construction.
1) Fee in Lieu.
Except for development located within the Northgate zoning districts, a developer may request
to pay a fee in lieu of constructing the required sidewalk(s) or multi-use path upon approval by
the Planning and Zoning CommissionAdministrator as set forth below.
2) Amount of Fee.
The amount of fee in lieu of sidewalk construction shall be a unit cost determined by the City
Engineer based upon current estimated costs. The unit cost fee shall be kept on file in the
Office of Planning and Development Services and made available to the public upon request.
The unit cost fee calculation shall be reviewed at least annually by the City Engineer and
adjusted as necessary.
3) Criteria to Allow Fee in Lieu.
The Planning and Zoning Commission Administrator may authorize a fee in lieu of sidewalk or
multi-use path construction when it is determinesd that one (1) or more of the following
conditions exists:
(a) An alternative pedestrian way or multi-use path has been or will be provided;
(b) The presence of unique or unusual topographic, vegetative, or other natural conditions
exist so that strict adherence to the sidewalk requirements contained herein is not
physically feasible or is not in keeping with the purposes and goals of this UDO or the
City's Comprehensive Plan;
(c) A capital improvement project is imminent that will include construction of the required
sidewalk. Imminent shall mean the project is funded or projected to commence within
twelve (12) months;
(d) Existing streets constructed to rural section that are not identified on the Thoroughfare
Plan with an Estate/Rural context;
(e) When a sidewalk is required along a street where a multi-use path is shown on the
Bicycle, Pedestrian, Greenways Master Plan;
(f) The proposed development is within an older residential subdivision meeting the criteria
in Section 8.3.H.2 Platting and Replatting within Older Residential Subdivisions of this
UDO; or
(g) The proposed development contains frontage on a freeway/ expressway as designated
by Map 6.6, Thoroughfare Plan-Functional Classification, in the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
4) Use of Fee.
The City Council hereby establishes sidewalk zones as show in the map attached as Figure 1
of this section and which map shall be kept in the Office of Planning and Development
Services and made available to the public upon request. Fees collected in lieu of sidewalk or
multi-use path construction shall be expended in the sidewalk zone within which the proposed
development is located. Fees collected in lieu of sidewalk construction shall be used only for
construction, reconstruction, or land acquisition costs associated with sidewalks, multi-use
paths, and other non-vehicular ways.
Figure 1 - Sidewalk Zone Map
5) Reimbursement.
The City may, from time-to-time, acquire land for sidewalks or make sidewalk improvements
related to actual or potential development. If this occurs, the City may require subsequent
sidewalk obligations to be a fee rather than construction in order to reimburse the City for the
cost associated with acquisitions or construction.
6) Fee Due.
Fees paid pursuant to this Section shall be remitted to the City when the guarantee of
construction of public improvements for the proposed development is due or upon
commencement of construction, whichever occurs first.
7) Special Fund; Right to Refund.
All fees received by the City in lieu of sidewalk or multi-use path construction shall be
deposited in a fund referenced to the sidewalk zone to which it relates. The City shall account
for all fees in lieu of sidewalk construction paid under this Section with reference to the
individual development involved. Any fee paid for such purposes must be expended by the
City within seven (7) years from the date received by the City. Such funds shall be considered
to be spent on a first-in, first-out basis. If not so expended, the landowners of the property on
the expiration of such period shall be entitled to a prorated refund of such sum. The owners of
such property must request a refund within one (1) year of entitlement, in writing, or such
refund will be barred.
