6. WORKSHOP ITEMS
6.1. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the current conditions of the
Northgate Entertainment District, to include future options for improvement.
Billy Couch, College Station Police Chief, state that the Northgate Entertainment District has
experienced rapid growth in the residential population over the last ten years, along with the residential
CCM082522 Minutes Page 3
growth, and an increased growth in the number of licensed bars in Northgate. Due to the confined
space of the Entertainment District, combined with the heavy occupancy of the licensed
establishments, the Northgate area has become environmentally less safe. Chief Couch also explained
that due to these environmental conditions, demands on city resources have constantly increased,
despite additional resources, the environmental conditions have not improved. To effectively reduce
the risk and liability of this environment, environmental conditions will need to change. The summary
presentation will conclude with suggestions for consideration to make the area safer in the future.
Environmental Short Term Safety Considerations
• Bar Safety Measures
• Ordinance to require cameras within bars
• Wanding required upon entry
• Removal of outdoor speakers
• Removal of dining boxes
• Earlier hour of last call
Environmental Medium Term Safety Considerations
• Traffic Calming
• One-way streets or complete road closures
• Speed Humps on College Main and Church Ave. to slow traffic
• Improve Mobility Safety
• Lighted or Traditional Cross-Walks
• Complete Unfinished Sidewalks on both sides
• Additional Bike Lanes
• Enhanced Wall along University Drive
Environmental Long Term Safety Considerations
• Smart and effective long-term environmental planning
• Limit on the number of bars in the interim until a broader solution can be created
• Conditional Use Permit requirements need to be designed with legitimate conditions for all
bars within the City
• Create a system for maximum number of bars by district within the city
• Proximity ordinances for licensed establishments
• Entertainment district fees
• Use existing city facilities to stimulate quality and safe re-development (Surface parking lot,
Promenade, Parking Garage, and ROWs)
Council directed staff to evaluate and return with the feasibility of each of the recommendations made,
explore a business improvement district, and engage area business in dialogue.
6.2. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on options to amend the Restricted Occupancy
Overlay (ROO).
Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planning and Development, stated that at the February 10, 2022 meeting, the
City Council requested a future agenda item to consider options to amend the Restricted Occupancy
Overlay (ROO) with the intent to streamline the process and application for neighborhoods interested
in pursuing a ROO. For this workshop, staff will present a list of options, along with a discussion of
the advantages and disadvantages of each, for the City Council to consider and provide direction.
CCM082522 Minutes Page 4

• Fee resolution only, no
ordinance amendment needed
• City does not recoup any costs
for staff time, certified
mailings (2), and newspaper
advertisements
2) Allow contiguous phases of a
subdivision to submit one
application and pay one fee
• Fewer applications
• More affordable for
subdivision
• One Petition Committee
• Increased quantity of lots may
increase/decrease difficulty of
reaching 50%+1 threshold
• Potential for phase(s) in
support carrying the vote over
smaller phase(s)
3) Allow the rezoning boundary
to match that of a registered
HOA or Neighborhood
Association (original
subdivision boundary applies if
no HOA/NA)
• More affordable for

Committee
• Increased quantity of lots may
increase/decrease difficulty of
reaching 50%+1 threshold

support carrying the vote over
smaller phase(s)
4) Revise the petition

50%+1 to some other
percentage
• N/A • N/A
5) Wait for more applications to

interested in pursuing a ROO
today
Council directed staff to keep option one (1) and bring back changes to incorporate option two (2) in
the process.
6.3. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a proposed middle housing zoning district.
Matthew Ellis, Plannings and Development, presented a draft proposal for the creation of a middle
housing zoning district that allows a variety of housing options between single-family and multi-
family. Mr. Ellis provided examples that included duplexes, townhouses, small and medium
multiplexes, and courtyard houses, as well as small lot single-family developments. The proposed
zoning allows these flexible housing types by right, rather than needing a PDD Planned Development
District. The new zoning district may redirect development pressure out of existing single-family
neighborhoods, encourage the housing types that the market demands in strategic locations, and create
more housing choices for low- and middle-income people including families, students, young
professionals, and seniors.
Mr. Ellis explained that staff has discussed the proposal with interested parties throughout the
community. These efforts began with a seminar supper on June 28, 2022, to engage neighborhood
representatives early in the creation of this proposal. Furthermore, staff met with builders, developers,
and engineers in the community who have experience with student housing or middle housing
products to discuss ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns regarding the proposed dimensional
CCM082522 Minutes Page 5
standards and how the district would function. In total, staff held four focus group meetings and
presented at the Builder and Developer Breakfast on July 21, 2022 to engage the development
community. Staff also coordinated internally to receive feedback from all applicable City departments
to ensure the proposal meets the needs of all departments and maintains excellent City services. The
changes made to draft proposal are based on feedback from all engagement efforts.
Parking Options
P&Z Recommendation Staff Recommendation
Option 1: Option 2: Option3:
Rear parking for the entire
district
• Based on middle housing best
practices
• Walkable neighborhoods with
cleaner facades
Allow front parking with
streetscaping on the periphery of
the Mixed Residential Future
Land Use
• Rear of lot is encumbered by
buffering
• Allows transitions
Allow front parking with
streetscaping for the entire
district
• Does not create clean facades
• Little incentive to rear park if
front parking is always an option
Buffering Options
Staff Recommendation
P&Z Recommendation
Option 1: Option 2: Option3:
2.5’ of landscaped buffer for
every 5’ of height and a fence
• Contextual
• Creates flexibility
• Incentivizes smaller buildings
on the periphery, leading to
better transitions
5’ of landscaped buffer for every
10’ of height and a fence
• Same as option 1, but less
flexible
• Results in overbuffering, not
underbuffering
10’ and a fence
• Current multi-family buffer
standard
• Creates standard that is
predictable
• Not contextual to height
Low-Density Residential Height Protection
Staff Recommendation
P&Z Recommendation
Option 1: Option 2:
Multiplexes provide 1:2 height protection from the
property line
• Contextual protection
• Maintains the current application of standards
(Multi-family developments follow height
protection)
All Middle Housing projects provide 1:2 height
protection from the property line
• Extends the current standards
• Single-family provides height protection to
single-family
Council directed staff to use option two (2) from parking but determine where option one (1) may be
used, use option one (1) from buffering, and use option one (1) from low-density residential height
protection.
6.4. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a potential ordinance amendment relating
to individual lot grading requirements for residential lots.
Anthony Armstrong, Planning and Development, stated that during discussions regarding the
impervious cover ordinance that City Council heard and approved back in March of 2020, one of the
additional issues raised by the Planning and Zoning Commission and shared by members of the City
CCM082522 Minutes Page 6
Council was the component of grading on a property as it relates to drainage. This workshop item was
to discuss potential options to address the issue of lot grading, specifically on a lot-by-lot scenario.
Staff presented options for discussion and seek direction from the City Council.
Options could include:
• City provided individual lot grading templates, chosen by builder, confirmed by staff
• Developer created site specific grading plans per lot
• City directed site specific grading plan
Council directed staff to bring back an ordinance for Individual Lot Grading Templates with a height
differential limit.
