Commissioner McIlhaney asked about the increased distances from the property line to the building.
Staff Planner Macias confirmed that the original PDD approved the pick-up window at 59 feet from the property line and stated that distance to the west property line was not measured on the original PDD. Chairperson Christiansen asked why staff is recommending approval with a reduction to the UDO required distance between a restaurant with a drive-thru and single-family. Staff Planner Macias stated that staff is recommending approval because of the improvements from the existing PDD, including changing the layout and proposing the drive-thru in a different location. Ms. Macias also stated that the applicant is adding additional buffering along Southland Street.
Commissioner Cornelius asked if this modification would lead to a change in location of the existing entrance.
Staff Planner Macias clarified that there would not be a change to the existing entrance.
Commissioner Wright asked if staff recommended approval on the previous PDD. Staff Planner Macias confirmed that staff did recommend approval on the previous PDD. Applicant, Rabon Metcalf, RME Engineers, was available to answer questions from the Commission. Chairperson Christiansen opened the public hearing. No visitors spoke.
Chairperson Christiansen closed the public hearing. Commissioner Wright motioned to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Commissioner Smith seconded the motion. Director of Planning & Development Services Ostrowski provided additional clarification on the
150-foot distance requirement, stating that the distance requirement comes into play because of the Suburban Commercial zoning. Mr. Ostrowski further explained that a General Commercial zoning, similar to surrounding businesses, would not have that distance requirement. The motion passed (7-0). Commissioner Wright motioned to recommend approval of the Rezoning and Concept Plan. Commissioner Cornelius seconded the motion. Commissioner McIlhaney asked for clarification on why the Commission is hearing this item as a modification to an existing PDD.

Project Overview This plat will establish lots within the Mission Ranch Subdivision. This
phase of the development will consist of 32 residential lots and 4
common areas. This is the 10th phase to be platted.
Preliminary Plan The northern portion of the subdivision was originally part of the Great
Oaks Subdivision and is vested to 2007 regulations; the southern half of
this development is subject to current subdivision regulations. This
phase falls within the southern portion. A Preliminary Plan was
approved in 2014 granting waivers to cluster development requirements
in UDO Section 8.3.H.4, which requires the average lot size in a cluster
development to be less than the minimum lot size of the base zoning
district. A revised Preliminary Plan was approved in 2019, which granted
a waiver request for additional block lengths, included the addition of a
tract zoned for multi-family and excluded property sold to the school
district. In 2020, a revised Preliminary Plan was approved with minor
changes but no additional waivers.
Public Infrastructure Total linear feet proposed:
2,630 Streets 1,095 Sanitary Sewer Lines
2,315 Sidewalks 2,098 Water Lines (Wellborn SUD)
1,025 Storm Sewer Lines

will be due prior to filing of the plat.

Regular Agenda
Rezoning – North Forest Estates Restricted Occupancy Overlay
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Long Range Planning Administrator
Agenda 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 GS General Suburban to GS General Suburban and ROO Restricted
Occupancy Overlay on approximately 9.86 acres being 26 lots within North Forest Estates, Block 1 and 2,
generally located along Justin Avenue. Case #REZ2022-000014 (Note: Final action of this item will be
considered at the September 22, 2022 City Council meeting – Subject to change).
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 9.86 acres being 26 lots within the North Forest
Estates subdivision from GS General Suburban to GS General Suburban and ROO Restricted Occupancy
Overlay. This request is to add the ROO, which is a single-family overlay zoning district, to the existing
base zoning within the North Forest Estate subdivision boundaries. The ROO overlay is intended to
provide subdivision-specific occupancy regulations – not to exceed two unrelated persons per single-
family dwelling or accessory living quarter. The Petition Committee, comprised of North Forest Estates
homeowners, has met all requirements of the ROO application process. The Petition Committee
submitted the application materials including the ROO petition that contained 20 total signatures. City
staff were able to verify 19 of the 20 signatures, representing 73.1% of the subdivision in support of the
requested ROO.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject tract is designated as Suburban Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use & Character Map. The surrounding areas to the northeast and southwest are also
Suburban Residential. The property to the southeast is designated as Natural & Open Areas
and is part of Bee Creek and its floodplain. The property to the northwest across North Forest
Parkway is designated Neighborhood Commercial and is developed as the St. Thomas Aquinas
Catholic Church. North Forest Parkway is an existing 2-lane minor collector and is shown on the
Comprehensive Plan’s Thoroughfare Plan as a future 2-lane major collector.
The Comprehensive Plan discusses single-family overlay zoning districts in both Chapter 3,
Strong Neighborhoods and Chapter 9, Collaborative Partnerships. The plan states that, “various
single-family overlay zoning districts have been created to help mitigate the issues associated
with tear-downs in established neighborhoods. These include the Neighborhood Conservation
Overlay, the Restricted Occupancy Overlay, and the Historic Preservation Overlay.” The plan
goes on to state that collaboration between the City and Texas A&M University is vital to
proactively address issues caused by the rapid growth of the university and the stressors and
potential changes that places on nearby neighborhoods. Pursing a single-family overlay zoning
Page 17 of 107
is a tool that a neighborhood can choose for itself to help address and mitigate perceived,
anticipated, and actual changes within an established single-family neighborhood. While the
Neighborhood Conservation and Historic Presentation Overlays address and mitigate changes
to physical property characteristics, the intent of a ROO is to address and mitigate issues
associated with overoccupancy. As a tool that a neighborhood can pursue for itself to address
issues of overoccupancy and preserve neighborhood character, the request is aligned 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 subject property is surrounded by GS General Suburban zoned single-family homes to the
northeast in the Emerald Forest subdivision and to the southwest in the North Forest subdivision
(which is separate from North Forest Estates). The property to the southeast is zoned GC General
Commercial but is part of Bee Creek and its floodplain and, as such, is undevelopable. The
property located to the northwest across North Forest Parkway is St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic
Church, which is zoned R Rural and GS General Suburban. The single-family uses allowed by the GS
General Suburban zoning district will remain and the addition of the ROO overlay solely restricts
the number of unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarters to no
more than two unrelated persons.
As stated in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), “single-family overlay districts create an
additional zoning district that is superimposed over the underlying zoning district. Single-family
overlay districts are intended to provide additional standards for College Station neighborhoods.
These standards promote residential development patterns and are intended to protect and
enhance desirable neighborhood characteristics, livability, and harmonious, orderly, and efficient
growth and development. The underlying zoning district establishes the permitted uses and
standards and shall remain in effect. The requirements of the overlay district are to be applied in
addition to the underlying zoning district standards.”
The ROO overlay standard is as follows: “Occupancy of either, a detached single-family dwelling or
accessory living quarter, shall not exceed two unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or
accessory living quarter. Related persons are specified in [UDO] Section 11.2 ‘Defined Terms’ in
the definition of ‘Family.’ Accessory living quarter requirements are further specified in [UDO]
Section 6.5 ‘Accessory Uses’ within the standards for ‘Living Quarters.’”
UDO Sections 3.3, 4.1, and 5.11 detail the application process and regulations for single-family
overlay districts and the ROO Process Handbook serves as a policy guide for residents. The process
requires that a subdivision interested in pursuing a ROO form a Petition Committee. That
committee is tasked with leading the effort, organizing their neighbors, hosting a neighborhood-
led meeting and notifying all neighbors of the meeting via certified mail, collecting the petition
signatures, and submitting the completed application and all required materials.
The North Forest Estates Petition Committee was comprised of three members: Fred Boeheim,
Mark Hawthorne, and Rey Sully. The Petition Committee hosted their neighborhood meeting on
June 25, 2022, discussed pursing the ROO for their subdivision, answered questions from their
neighbors, and began collecting petition signatures. Property owners from 11 of the 26 lots were
in attendance, as were City staff, and an owner from each property signed the petition.
Page 18 of 107
The Petition Committee finished collecting petition signatures and submitted their ROO
application in July 2022. City staff verified that the application was complete, and all requirements
were met. The submitted ROO Petition contained 20 total signatures. City staff were able to verify
19 of the 20 signatures. The signature that staff were unable to verify was a property held within a
trust that required both trustees sign transactions on behalf of the trust, and thus was missing a
signature from the second trustee. The Petition Committee was unable to obtain the second
signature within the timeframe needed to move forward and asked that the application continue
with the 19 confirmed signatures, representing 73.1% of the subdivision in support of the
requested ROO.
Staff held a required City-hosted neighborhood meeting for the North Forest Estates ROO request
on September 9, 2022. There were five residents in attendance, three from North Forest Estates
who signed the petition in support of the ROO, one participating remotely on Zoom who did not
provide comment, and one from the nearby North Forest subdivision who was interested in
learning about the ROO application and whether it applied to his property, which it does not.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The ROO overlay zoning does not affect any of the physical characteristics of the underlying GS
General Suburban zoning district. The existing subdivision meets the dimensional standards for GS
General Suburban zoned properties as set forth in the UDO and is already developed as a single-
family residential subdivision.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
The existing water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure is adequate to
support the needs of this existing development. No additional development and subsequent
impacts are anticipated from the addition of the ROO overlay zoning designation.
5. The marketability of the property:
The single-family uses allowed by the GS General Suburban zoning district will remain and are
marketable as single-family residential homes. The ROO overlay only restricts the number of
unrelated persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarters to no more than two
unrelated persons.

Total Acreage: 9.86
Applicant: North Forest Estates HOA, Inc
Property Owner: HAWTHORNE MARK ALAN & DEBRA SC
List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
North Forest Estates is a plat of 26 properties currently zoned as Suburban Residential. In 2012, the residents
of North Forest Estates assumed control of the Homeowners Association (HOA). The HOA is named the
North Forest Estates HOA (NFEHOA).
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
The NFEHOA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCR) has always had a line item
limiting the number of unrelated persons in each home to no more than 2. The recently updated DCCR also
states in paragraph 4.08 - Renting and Leasing, "No property within North Forest Estates Subdivision, Inc.
shall be purchased by any individual or corporation for the express intent of engaging in Short Term Rental or
Month To Month Rental activity wherein the homeowner does not reside."
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
The establishment of a ROO for NFEHOA will help mitigate the chance that an individual or corporation will
attempt to purchase a property within NFEHOA for investment/income generation. The NFEHOA property
owners have voted twice to proceed with the ROO application - once each in 2020 and 2022. Both votes
passed with 20 of the 26 properties recently voting unanimously to proceed.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested.
As such, the rezoning with regards to a ROO for NFEHOA aligns perfectly regarding intent and effect for the
benefit of the City and NFEHOA.
Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
As such, the rezoning with regards to a ROO for NFEHOA aligns perfectly regarding intent and effect for the
benefit of the City and NFEHOA.

Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district.
The establishment of a ROO for the 26 properties in NFEHOA will help maintain and/or positively affect
property values.
List any other reasons to support this zone change.
In addition, the ROO will help maintain relationships between property owners within the NFEHOA because
the enforcement of the ROO, and subsequently the DCCR, falls to the Code Enforcement Division. It takes
the onus of enforcement from HOA officers and/or members, and, in turn, helps keep the peace in the
neighborhood.

MEMORANDUM
September 1, 2022
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Naomi Sing, Staff Planner
SUBJECT: Small Area Plan Audit
Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the Small Area Plan Audit. (Note: Discussion of
this item is scheduled for the September 22, 2022 City Council Meeting on the regular agenda – Subject
to change).
Recommendation: To receive and make a recommendation to accept the audit.
Summary: City staff will present the Small Area Plan Audit that includes findings from the audit process,
implementation highlights, challenges of the small area planning process and recommendations to
improve future planning efforts, peer city research, next steps, and maps and implementation charts of
each plan. The five plans evaluated through this audit are the Central College Station Neighborhood
Plan, the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, the South Knoll Area
Plan, and the Wellborn Community Plan.
From the audit process and conversations with peers, City staff developed four key recommendations
for future small area planning efforts:
1) Develop a clear implementation tracking strategy early in the plan creation process that ideally
includes plan action tracking software to support collaboration across City departments.
2) Distinguish between actions that are the responsibility of the City to implement and those that
must be neighborhood-led.
3) Develop specific and quantifiable actions that lead to measurable outcomes.
4) Set clear planning horizons with sunset provisions that expire plans after a certain date.
City staff will present the findings of the audit, discuss the intent to sunset existing plans that are
beyond their planning horizons, and detail the next small area planning efforts that are identified in the
Page 35 of 107
Comprehensive Plan in Chapter 2: Distinctive Places and shown on Map 2.1 Planning Areas, along with
the general timelines of those planning efforts which are launching in Fall/Winter 2022.
Background:
Upon adoption of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, a series of five small area plans were developed that
engaged residents and outlined area-specific initiatives that both the City of College Station and
neighborhood leaders could enact to create stronger neighborhoods.
The need for the Small Area Plan Audit was identified through discussions with the Planning & Zoning
Commission, City Council, and the public. The need was also established with the 10-year
Comprehensive Plan evaluation and is included as action number 3.8 within the updated Comprehensive
Plan, which states that the City should “evaluate relevancy of neighborhood and small area plans that
are beyond their planning horizon [and] develop a process to either retire or update plans.”
The five plans evaluated through this audit are the Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, the
Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, the South Knoll Area Plan, and the
Wellborn Community Plan. All of these plans are past their planning horizons – the implementation
timeline identified within each respective plan – with the exception of the Wellborn Community Plan
which ends in 2023.

Small Area Plan Overview
Upon adoption of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, a series of five small area plans were developed that engaged
residents and outlined area-specific initiatives that both the City of College Station and neighborhood leaders
could enact to create stronger neighborhoods. The five plans evaluated through this audit are the Central College
Station Neighborhood Plan, the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, the South
Knoll Area Plan, and the Wellborn Community Plan. All of these plans are past their planning horizons – the
implementation timeline identified within each respective plan — with the exception of the Wellborn Community
Plan which ends in 2023.
CENTRAL COLLEGE STATION NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN (2010-2017)
The Central College Station Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City Council on June 10, 2010. The planning
area is made up of approximately 1,450 acres and is located in the geographic center of College Station. It is
bounded by Texas Avenue South, State Highway 6 South, Harvey Mitchell Parkway South, Wellborn Road, and
Rock Prairie Road.
EASTGATE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN (2011-2018)
The Eastgate Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City Council on June 23, 2011. The planning area is made up
of approximately 567 acres located along the eastern edge of the Texas A&M University campus and is bounded
by University Drive East, Texas Avenue South, Dominik Drive, and east of Munson Avenue and ending just before

Audit Origination
The need for the Small Area Plan Audit
was identified through discussions with
the Planning & Zoning Commission, City
Council, and the public. The need was also
established with the 10-year Comprehensive
Plan evaluation and is included as action
number 3.8 within the updated plan which
states that the City should “evaluate relevancy
of neighborhood and small area plans that are
beyond their planning horizon [and] develop
a process to either retire or update plans.”
This audit’s purpose is to review the plans
that are beyond or nearing their planning
horizons, to assess what was achieved relative
to each plan’s recommendations, what was
not achieved, and why, and whether further
planning efforts are warranted for each area.
Implementation Highlights
The implementation charts included within
the appendices identify the action items that
reside within the respective plan and their
statuses. Some of the original action items
have been separated into multiple parts to
better represent the various components
of multi-step initiatives that were identified
within the action item. Due to this, the totals
listed within the audit report and the charts
are reflective of the overall statuses rather
than the actual number of the action items
from the original plan documents. Using this
methodology, there are 392 total action items
between the five plans which were intended
to be addressed over the course of each of
the individual plan’s timeline. Approximately
61.7% of all plan action items have been
completed, 6.9% are currently in-progress,
20.2% are incomplete, and 11.2% no longer
being pursued by the City. The implementation
charts include statuses of all actions and
narrative that explains why certain actions
were not completed. These reasons typically
include varying levels of project feasibility, lack
of continued neighborhood support, or lack
of available funding. Many of the projects that
lack identified funding were included within
the FY22 Unfunded Projects list.

Challenges & Recommendations
This audit enabled staff to identify challenges in small area plan implementation and ways in which future planning
efforts should be strengthened to better implement resident desires and the community’s vision as represented in
the Comprehensive Plan.
The first challenge staff identified was the inconsistency in tracking progress across each of the plans and over
many years. Plan implementation was not continuously monitored or organized in a uniform manner until the audit
began. This made for a lengthier audit process to find, identify, and consolidate various records from the past
decade. The inconsistency in tracking is due to many factors including gaps in staffing, inconsistent engagement
of and coordination between departments, different tracking systems between departments, and not all
implementations being digitized. In some cases, the institutional knowledge of plan action statuses was lost when
the staff member responsible for that action departed the City. Staff recommend a more formalized and standard
action tracking process that utilizes best practices and newer software tools as crucial to implementing future
planning efforts. Plan action software will allow staff across multiple departments to regularly access plan action
items, be sent reminders that they are responsible for implementing and reporting on actions, and for the updates
to be tracked under one consolidated platform. Planning & Development Services staff submitted a Service Level
Adjustment for funding consideration in FY2023 to migrate all plan tracking to an integrated plan action software.
This will include tracking progress on the 2021 Comprehensive Plan actions and new small area plans and could be
expanded to include other City master plans, Key Performance Indicators, and strategic initiatives.
Page 43 of 107
Second, through the audit process staff found that the small area plans lacked clarity in identifying and
communicating which plan actions were meant to be neighborhood-initiated and which were City-initiated actions.
This also complicates the tracking of plan implementation as there are some items that are difficult to determine
if they have been completed since they were intended to be community-initiated and/or community-led. Due to
the nature of small area planning and community engagement, it is common for action items to be supported by
engaged residents and included in the plan and then the action loses traction shortly after the planning effort.
Community engagement and interests vary, especially over the course of years, so an action that was heavily
supported one year may not be feasible or supported the next. Staff recommend that all future small area plans
explicitly state which actions the City has the jurisdiction to implement, and which must be neighborhood-initiated
and led by neighborhood organizations. These distinctions should be discussed during the community engagement
portion of the planning process and clearly documented in the plans, such as with identifier icons indicating
responsibility. Staff may consider tracking these separately in the future to more accurately represent plan
implementation that is within the City’s ability and jurisdiction.
Third, staff noted that the types of actions varied
widely within and between the small area plans.
Actions that were clear, concise, and measurable
were significantly easier to track and report over
time. A large portion of the completed actions
were infrastructure or maintenance-oriented and
were precisely spelled out where the community
wanted physical changes to their area. Actions
that were more nebulous to track were broad
actions such as “preserve single-family character”
or “strengthen neighborhood relationships.” These
broader ideas should be classified as goals within
a planning effort instead of actions. The 2021
Comprehensive Plan incorporates these same
ideals within the goal statements of Chapter
2: Distinctive Places and Chapter 3: Strong
Neighborhoods, respectively. Staff recommend
that future small area planning efforts focus on
specific and quantifiable actions that lead to
measurable outcomes that also support broader
goals.
The final challenge identified by staff is the planning horizons written within the plans. These timelines are helpful in
knowing the relevancy of each plan, but do not specify what happens when the plan reaches the end of the given
timeline. The absence of a sunset clause and clear plan expiration language creates an unclear situation for all
involved – neighborhood residents who were involved in the plan creation and wonder “what’s next,” for City staff
attempting to communicate the relevance of older plans, and for elected officials to know which plans and actions
are pertinent to policy making decisions. Staff recommend setting clear planning horizons with sunset provisions
that expire the plan after a certain date. The need to update a small area plan or create new small area plans
should be considered holistically within the broader Comprehensive Plan evaluation and update process to ensure
participation across and equity amongst the entire City in determining and prioritizing future planning efforts.
PEER CITY RESEARCH FINDINGS
In addition to evaluating the City’s plans, staff researched the small area planning and plan implementation efforts
of peer cities. Staff found that cities of similar size to College Station typically do not have small area neighborhood
planning efforts. Of those that identified specific small areas, neighborhoods, or districts, they are included within
Page 44 of 107
their respective comprehensive plan and do not function as separate plan documents. This finding led staff to
reach out to major cities such as Austin, Dallas, and Houston for additional insight. Discussions with those planners
ultimately reaffirmed the challenges that College Station staff found during the audit process. Planners from
these larger cities expressed difficulty with tracking the implementation of plans, maintaining consistent levels of
community engagement as the years pass after adoption, and having set timeframes and clear expectations of plan
expiration or sunset provisions.
Tracking implementation through all the small area plans, especially for large cities with dozens of plans, requires
ample staff attention and time. This often requires at least one dedicated staff member to steer the process
and document implementation, which was not always readily available to the cities that College Station staff
interviewed. Those cities mentioned that in addition to staff capacity issues, plan tracking was often not viewed as
a top priority compared to other projects that have time-sensitive deadlines.
Community engagement is a crucial aspect of small area planning but is notably difficult to maintain over the
course of many years. This difficulty was evident for the large cities and is influenced by factors such as changes in
the area’s demographics, general interest, and the resident’s available time to be actively involved in the planning
process. Without active engagement by the community, it is easy for the planning efforts and implementation of
new projects to be unfulfilled if the area does not seem interested in changes.
The larger cities also experienced hurdles created by existing,
older plans during their newer planning efforts. This was
because older plans that were no longer reflective of the
community’s existing conditions had not officially been
concluded, expired, or retired. This created difficulties in
identifying a clear plan hierarchy since there were conflicting
action items and strategies noted in the small area plans and
the comprehensive plan for the respective city. Without the
clear distinction of authority and consistency of information
between the plans it is difficult to know which plan supersedes
the other. While plan hierarchy is not an issue for the City of
College Station – the Comprehensive Plan is the highest in the
plan hierarchy – there is still the importance of defining how
to effectively conclude small area plans that are beyond their
planning horizons.
Planners from the larger cities also mentioned equity issues that sometimes arise from outdated plans. This can
occur when community leaders with existing, but outdated plans point to those plans as justification for political
support or project funding within their area, without consideration of changed conditions or whether those funds
are better prioritized or more equitably distributed in other areas of that may not have had the benefit of small area
planning efforts. This was especially true in Austin, where 20-year-old small area plans had been used to justify
projects without holistic consideration of city needs. A 2016 equity audit of City of Austin practices specifically
noted this issue with outdated neighborhood plans.
In summary, the audit process and conversations with peers helped staff solidify four key recommendations for
future small area planning efforts:
1) Develop a clear implementation tracking strategy early in the plan creation process that ideally includes plan
action tracking software to support collaboration across City departments
2) Distinguish between actions that are the responsibility of the City to implement and those that will be
neighborhood-led
Page 45 of 107
3) Develop specific and quantifiable actions that lead to measurable outcomes
4) Set clear planning horizons with sunset provisions that expire plans after a certain date
Next Steps
Future planning efforts were identified during the Comprehensive Plan evaluation and update process. These are
specified in Chapter 2: Distinctive Places and shown on Map 2.1 Planning Areas. Of these, the top priorities and
next small area planning efforts being led by staff include the University Drive & Texas Avenue Redevelopment Area
Plan and an update to the Wellborn Community Plan, which are both projected to begin during fall/winter 2022 and
continue through 2023.
The University Drive & Texas Avenue Redevelopment Area is consistently ranked as a high priority for future
planning efforts by residents and City leadership due to the number of underperforming land uses that are in close
proximity to two of the busiest corridors in the City. The proximity of existing neighborhoods and the Texas A&M
University campus requires careful site planning and building design. These efforts should be complimentary to the
nearby hospitality corridor planning efforts, the Eastgate area, and the Texas A&M University Campus Master Plan
while focusing on bringing vertical mixed-use and other aspects of urban character to this portion of the City.
The Wellborn area is facing continued development pressures for growth that may now be appropriate, in
contrast with the existing plan direction. A renewed planning effort is needed to allow current residents to actively
participate in the process and provide updated direction.
Two additional areas for small area planning efforts in coming years include the Harvey Road Redevelopment Area
and the George Bush Drive & Wellborn Road (FM 2154) Redevelopment Area, as specified in the Comprehensive
Plan.
The Harvey Road area includes newer commercial areas and a number of underperforming commercial and older
multi-family properties and apartment complexes. This area also includes the Post Oak Mall, which will likely need
to reposition itself in the near future to remain competitive. This presents an exciting opportunity to evolve into a
denser area of the City, including vertical and horizontal mixed-use developments, which could compliment the
adjacent Wolf Pen Creek District.
Page 46 of 107
The George Bush Drive & Wellborn Road
area, also referred to as “Area V” in the current
Southside Area Neighborhood Plan, will change in
character once the proposed TxDOT interchange
project occurs. Redevelopment planning efforts
should focus on bringing vertical and horizontal
mixed-use and other aspects of urban character to
this portion of the City, while providing contextually
appropriate transitions to established areas of
the Southside neighborhood. Residents strongly
opposed changes to interior portions of the
Southside neighborhood across from Texas A&M
University, thus future planning efforts within the
Southside neighborhood should center on the area
surrounding the George Bush Drive and Wellborn
Road (FM 2154) intersection.
Staff does not recommend updating the
Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, the
Eastgate Neighborhood Plan, the Southside Area
Neighborhood Plan, or the South Knoll Area
Plan at this time. These neighborhoods are not
experiencing the same developmental pressures as
the areas addressed above. While staff recognizes
that some changes do occur within these
neighborhoods, there are other available methods
of addressing said change that does not warrant
a renewed planning effort at the present time. If a
need is identified in the future, staff will address
and evaluate if an updated plan is needed for any
of these neighborhoods.
In addition to these projects, with the concluding of these plans and with the acceptance of the audit’s findings,
staff will bring forward amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and any other impacted
ordinances in reference to these plans being active.

Item No. 5.3.
Shared Housing
Sponsor: Michael Ostrowski, Director of Planning and Development
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption:Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A, “Unified Development Ordinance,” Article 6, "Use Regulations," Section 6.3 "Types of Use,” Section 6.4 "Specific Use Standards,” Article 7, "General Development
Standards," Section 7.2 "General Provisions,” Section 7.3 "Off-Street Parking Standards,” Section 7.6 "Landscaping and Tree Protection,” Section 7.7 "Buffer Requirements,” Article 11, "Definitions," Section 11.2 "Defined Terms,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, regarding the creation of a new use called Shared Housing. Case #ORDA2022-000005 (Note: Final action on this item will be considered at the September 22, 2022 City Council Meeting - Subject to
change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment.
Summary: City staff presented at two City Council workshops (5/27/2021 and 4/28/2022) on options
to preserve neighborhood character / integrity. One of the items coming out of the workshops was to
address issues relating to the increasing number of properties that are redeveloping into a Shared Housing type use, which may not be compatible with the other residential uses within the area. To address the concerns, one of the first steps is to define the use within the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Therefore, staff is proposing to create a use and related definition for Shared
Housing. Shared Housing, also known as “Stealth Dorms” or “Ag Shacks” are uses that typically
facilitate allowing more than four unrelated persons within a structure, which exceeds the definition of Family. However, because the structures are currently categorized as single family, they have been allowed to develop as single-family within residential neighborhoods.
The following is a list of changes/additions being proposed:
Section 6.3 – Add Shared Housing to the use table, and make it a permitted use within the MF – Multi-Family and Northgate districts. The intent would also be to make them a permitted use within the MH – Middle Housing district once it is created.
Section 6.3 – Remove the Northgate High-Density Dwelling Unit as the Shared Housing use would replace it.
Section 7.2 – Require that structures with Shared Housing uses would be subject to the Low-
Density Residential Height Protection requirements.
Section 7.3 – Set the parking standards for Shared Housing uses to one per room that are at least 70 s.f. in area, excluding a kitchen, a living room, and a laundry room. The Administrator may also exclude additional rooms, but not below the number of bedrooms.
Section 7.7 – Require Shared Housing uses to buffer to lower classification uses or zoning districts.
Page 91 of 107
Section 11.2 – Remove the Northgate High Density Dwelling Unit definition, as it is being
replaced by the Shared Housing use.
Section 11.2 – Add a definition for Shared Housing, to be as follows:
Shared Housing: A dwelling unit that is designed or intended to be used for the purpose of
housing more than four unrelated persons. Such use may be identified by a combination, but not necessarily all, of the following characteristics:
A dwelling unit containing more than four bedrooms or able to house more than four people
using other rooms such as dens, offices, game rooms, or alike that have the potential to be
used for sleeping purposes in accordance with the International Residential Code (IRC) definition of habitable space;
A dwelling unit containing a similar bedroom to bathroom parity in excess of four;
A dwelling unit containing a high quantity of bathrooms, usually in excess of four, of which most can only be accessed through a bedroom or other room such as a den, office, or game room;
A dwelling unit that is in excess of one story;
The property where the dwelling unit is located does not contain a garage;
The property where the dwelling unit is located contains a parking area that will allow
parking in excess of four vehicles; and/or
The property where the dwelling unit is located is within two (2) miles of a campus of higher education.
The Administrator shall determine whether the characteristics presented are that of a shared
housing or other type of use.

Article 7. General Development Standards
College Station, Texas, Code of Ordinances Created: 2022-07-05 19:55:23 [EST]
(Supp. No. 6, Update 6)
Page 1 of 6
Article 7. General Development Standards
The following general development standards shall apply to all zoning districts, except where expressly stated to
apply to, or exclude, specific districts.
Sec. 7.2. General Provisions.
H. Low-Density Residential Height Protection.
1. Purpose.
The purpose of low-density residential height protection is to help mitigate negative visual impacts of
higher-density residential and non-residential uses on adjacent, low-density residential uses and
districts. This is accomplished by regulating the height of such higher-density residential or any non-
residential uses when adjacent to low-density residential uses and districts.
2. Applicability.
a. This subsection shall apply to all multifamily structures, structures with Shared Housing uses, and
nonresidential structures to be constructed or reconstructed in any way that would increase the
building height as defined in Section 11.2 Defined Terms of this UDO, on property adjacent to a
detached single-family, manufactured home park, or townhouse use or district.
b. Unless otherwise stated in this UDO, the regulations herein shall not apply to any of the
following:
1. Structures located in NG, RDD, and P-MUD zoning districts;
2. Utility structures such as elevated water storage tanks and electrical transmission lines;
3. Individual architectural structures such as flagpoles, belfries, cupolas, spires, domes,
monuments, chimneys, bulkheads, elevators, or chimney flues; or any other similar
structure extending above the roof of any building where such structure does not occupy
more than thirty-three (33) percent of the surface area of the roof;
4. Residential radio/television receiving antennas;
5. When the detached single family, manufactured home park or townhome use on the
adjacent tract is nonconforming;
6. When the use on the adjacent tract is agricultural; or
7. Developments designed to be mixed use or that are within areas where it has been
identified that redevelopment is appropriate, as shown on the Future Land Use and
Character Map of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Such developments at the periphery of
the mixed use area or area identified as appropriate for redevelopment shall meet the
terms of Low-Density Residential Height Protection, when applicable.
3. Slope Requirement.
a. Multi-family structures, structures with Shared Housing uses, and non-residential structures shall
remain under an imaginary line formed by a 1:2 slope as illustrated by the inclined plane in the
Page 101 of 107

(Supp. No. 6, Update 6)
Page 2 of 6
graphic below, where 'A' is located at the property line shared with a detached single-family,
manufactured home park or townhouse use or district.
When the adjacent lot is one dedicated by plat for detention or open area and is not buildable
for a detached single-family house, townhouse, or manufactured home or residential amenity,
the measurement shall be taken from the closest property line shared with a buildable detached
single-family, townhouse, or manufactured home lot.
b. In addition to the height limitations set forth above in this subsection, the following additional
height limitations apply in WC Wellborn Commercial zoning:
1. No building may exceed two (2) stories;
2. Maximum eave height shall be twenty-four (24) feet;
3. Maximum overall height to peak of roof shall be thirty-five (35) feet;
4. Any structure with an eave height over fifteen (15) feet will be constructed to resemble a
two-story facade;
5. Buildings located closest to detached single-family, manufactured home park or townhouse
use or district and that are within fifty (50) feet of the property line are limited to one-story
in height with an eave maximum of twelve (12) feet; and
6. An eave maximum of fourteen (14) feet in height is permitted when mechanical equipment
is housed within a mezzanine.
Sec. 7.3. Off-Street Parking Standards.
H. Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
In computing the number of parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern:
1. Parking requirements based on square footage shall be based upon the gross floor area, unless
otherwise stated. Service areas such as mechanical rooms, restrooms, and closets shall be included in
the calculation of "gross floor area" for determining required parking spaces;
2. Where fractional spaces result in computing required parking spaces, the required number of spaces
must be increased to the nearest whole number. At least one (1) parking space must be provided
unless otherwise specified in this UDO;
3. The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed shall be the same as those for the most
similar to the proposed use, as determined by the Administrator;
4. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this UDO is changed
or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units, seating capacity, or
Page 102 of 107
Created: 2022-07-05 19:55:23 [EST]
(Supp. No. 6, Update 6)
Page 3 of 6
otherwise, parking requirements shall be met on the basis of the enlargement or change. Whenever a
building or use existing prior to the effective date of this UDO is enlarged, the enlarged building or
increased use shall then and thereafter comply with the parking requirements set forth herein;
5. At the time of construction, redevelopment, or when an addition to the number of existing bedrooms
is completed, all single-family and townhouse uses shall come into compliance with the minimum off-
street parking requirements. Garages that meet minimum dimensional standards may be counted
towards parking requirements;
6. Where requirements are established on the basis of the number of seats, such requirements shall be
based on the seating capacity as determined by the Building Official;
7. Where a manufacturing/industrial use has more than one (1) working shift of employees, parking shall
be provided to accommodate overlap requirements during transition periods; and
8. The Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Northgate and Wolf Pen Creek
districts if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the respective district.
