MEMORANDUM
August 21, 2020 TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Molly Hitchcock, AICP, P&DS Assistant Director SUBJECT: UDO Amendment – Replat Notification Requirement
Item: Public hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance
amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Section 3.2.G.2, “Specific Notice
Requirements,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, regarding
replat notification. Case# ORDA2020-000003. (Final action on this item is scheduled for the
Thursday, September 10, 2020 City Council Meeting)
Background: Plat approvals are intended to be ministerial actions and unless waivers or
exceptions are requested, the state statute requires that a plat that meets all City standards be
approved. In an attempt to expedite the subdivision platting process, the 86th Texas Legislature
passed H.B. 3167, which included a new notification process for certain replats that meet all
City standards—providing a notice of plat approval to surrounding property owners in lieu of
holding a public hearing.
The proposed Unified Development Ordinance amendment adds the option to provide mailed
notice of replat approval to surrounding property owners in accordance with state statute.
