amendments remove the plan references from the Comprehensive Plan within Chapter 2, Distinctive

been incorporated into the Thoroughfare Plan and other planning efforts. The proposed amendment

Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, regarding the allowable location for single-
family parking.
Naomi Sing, Planning and Development services, stated that this amendment is paired with the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to expire Small Area Plans that are past their planning horizons, and
removes references to the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan within the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO). The existing reference was in Article 7, “General Development Standards,” Section
7.3.C “Dimensions, Access, and Location,” which specified the allowable location for single-family
parking within Area V of the Southside Area Neighborhood Plan. Ms. Sing explained that the
proposed UDO revision removes the reference to Area V and instead applies the standard to all
Redevelopment Areas that are identified within the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character
Map. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment and UDO revision stem from the Small Area Plan Audit
and its findings which were accepted by the City Council on September 22, 2022. The audit
recommended that the following four plans be expired as they are beyond their original planning
horizon and no longer represent the existing conditions of their respective planning boundaries – the

Neighborhood Plan, and the South Knoll Neighborhood Plan.
