SUBJECT: BioCorridor appointments
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a recommendation on Planning & Zoning
Commission appointments to the BioCorridor Board. Summary: The zoning and development ordinance for the BioCorridor Planned Development District
establishes a BioCorridor Board as a body of representatives from the cities and the Texas A&M University System that would be able to make subjective decisions regarding specific requests in the area (such as appeals
to site plan requirements and parking waivers) and recommendations to other decision-making bodies (such as subdivision waiver requests to the Planning & Zoning Commission).
The ordinance calls for City Council to appoint three representatives from the City of College Station to the Board. Membership requires that:
• One be a member of City Council and
• Two be members of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The role of the Board is to provide recommendations:
• To City P&Z regarding subdivision waivers.
• To City P&Z regarding amendments to the BioCorridor PDD
The Board has the power to take final action on:
• Special District Identification Signs
• Temporary signs promoting positive community communications
• Works of art on public land
• Appeals to Staff’s determination of platting requirements
• Appeals to Staff’s denial of a site plan
• Appeal of Staff’s denial of an alternative parking plan
• Waivers related to parking
• Alternatives to Highway Buffer Standards
• Appeals to Highway Buffer Standards

The Board meets on an as-needed basis, the dates and times coordinated by staff with the applicant and the Board members. The Board last met in February of 2019, when they recommended changes to the
BioCorridor PDD that ultimately eliminated the need for waivers to problematic site planning requirements. The Board has not had to meet since the College Station and Bryan city councils adopted the revised PDD in
2019.
