Page 13 of 71
CCM 051523 Minutes Page 6
Naomi Sing, Planning and Development, provided an update on the Wellborn District Plan Update,
an important priority project from the FY23 PDS Plan of Work that is underway. The current Wellborn
Community Plan, which was adopted in 2013, will reach the end of its planning horizon this year.
Currently through Phase 2 of the plan update, staff have engaged a wide audience of community
members through two working group meetings, three area-wide meetings, and a virtual area-wide
meeting, as well as launching a virtual engagement website to gather additional feedback. Participants
can submit feedback on maps to provide location-specific ideas and comments on the plan's proposed
goal language. Additionally, staff is directly engaging with residents, property owners, and
representatives from the Texas Department of Transportation on future projects in the planning area.
Staff continues to coordinate internally to ensure the plan’s development meets the needs of all
departments and maintains the City’s excellent services. Staff is seeking the Council's direction to
finalize the goal language and planning boundary in advance of plan writing.
Goals for the Plan
•Community Character - Preserve the core rural character of Wellborn with small-scale growth
that enhances the uniqueness and history of the area.
•Mobility - Promote a safe, efficient, and connected mobility system that encourages
transportation options while recognizing the lower density of the district.
At approximately 8:44 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments.
Jeff Lehde, College Station, came before Council regarding some concerns of interpretation of the
understanding of the original agreement in 2013. He believes changes are being made that are against
the original plan in the district, some citizens feel like there is lack of communication which leads to
lack of trust, and would like an email group to set up on any changes, upcoming meetings, or
discussions.
There being no further comments, the Citizen Comments was closed at 8:55 p.m.
Majority of the Council directed staff to not move forward with expanding the boundaries lines, to
keep the original boundaries lines and attempt to preserve the core rural character of Wellborn.
Mayor Nichols recessed the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
The meeting reconvened at 9:40 p.m.
8.4. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the collection rates for impact fees.
Carol Cotter, Planning and Development, stated that the System-wide impact fees were initially
adopted in 2016 for water, wastewater, and roadways. The statutory 5-year update was completed in
November of 2021. As with the initial adoption, the maximum assessable impact fee was calculated
based on the land use assumptions (10-year growth projections) and capital improvement plans
included in the study. The City Council adopted the maximum assessable rates, and increased
collection rates by 10% for residential uses. Also, there were no changes in collection rates for non-
residential uses, and at the end of last year, the City Council expressed an interest in revisiting the
collection rates. Mrs. Cotter explained, to facilitate the discussion, the existing impact fee collection
rates are provided along with maximum assessable rates. Benchmark comparisons and projected
revenues based on these rates are also provided.

At approximately 10:05 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments.
John Crompton, College Station, stated that Impact fees are user fees which require new homeowners
to pay for the additional services for which they have created a need. He stated that house prices went
up over 30% in the aftermath of the pandemic and this had minimal impact on the number of residences
we built. Full impact fees will at most increase them by 2% so if they are building at $200 a foot and
with an impose an $8,000 additional impact fee, then instead of a 1570 feet residence the build would
be 1530 feet. Alternatively, the builder pays less for the land to make the numbers work. He stated
that council may also exempt low-income housing as they did last year with the Parkland Dedication
ordinance. He urged council to follow the precedent set last year with Parkland Dedication and move

all impact fees for water, wastewater, and roads to 60% starting Oct. 1, 2023; 80% in Oct 2024; and
100% in October 2025, and be the first council in 15 years to honor its pledge to be “fiscally
conservative”.
Austin McKnight, College Station, came before Council to represent the local Homebuilders
Association to urge taking a slow and cautious approach to increasing impact fees. He stated that not
all square footage in a home cost the same so to compensate for increased impact fees a home is more
likely to get one less bathroom or a smaller kitchen than to have a slightly smaller living room to
account for an increased fee. To avoid negatively impacting the new home market he believes council
should work with the homebuilders to develop a reasonable plan on impact fees.
Craig Regan, College Station, came before Council to discuss his concerns on impact fees and is of
the opinion that an increase will push home prices higher and lower income individuals out of the
market.

4436 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 C-3 Light Commercial to SC Suburban
Commercial for approximately 1.667 acres of land at 100 Graham Road, being Lot 4A-1, and
140 Graham Road being lot 4-B, Block 1 of the JHW Commercial Addition Phase 2, generally
located at the corner of Wellborn Road and Graham Road.
Items 9.2, 9.3, and 9.4 were presented together along with the public hearings and separate motions
for each item.
Gabriel Schrum, Planning and Development, presented items on Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Change from Business Center to Neighborhood Commercial, and two (2) rezonings: C-3 Light
Commercial to SC Suburban Commercial and M-2 Heavy Industrial to SC Suburban Commercial.
Mr. Schrum stated that the request for 9.2 is to rezone approximately 1.667 acres of land from C-3
Light Commercial to SC Suburban Commercial. The subject properties were platted in 2020. The two
subject lots are currently being used as a daycare facility (Prodigy Learning Center) and it is the
applicant’s intent to expand the use. Nearby properties include duplexes, a vacant light manufacturing
warehouse, office space, and a daycare.
Page 17 of 71
CCM 051523 Minutes Page 10
Mr. Schrum went on to state that the request for 9.3 is to rezone approximately 0.472 acres of land
from M-2 Heavy Industrial to SC Suburban Commercial. The subject property was platted in 2020
and is currently undeveloped. It is the applicant’s intent to continue the existing adjacent use and
expand the daycare facilities onto the subject property. Nearby properties include duplexes, vacant
light manufacturing, warehouse, office space, and a daycare.
Mr. Schrum state that for item 9.4 the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use & Character Map from Business Center to Neighborhood Commercial for
approximately 2.611 acres of land, generally located on Graham Road at its intersection with Wellborn
Road. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in conjunction with two SC Suburban Commercial
rezonings for the property. It is the applicant’s intent to extend the existing Prodigy Learning Center
Daycare as a commercial development in this space. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the
Future Land Use & Character Map to Neighborhood Commercial. Neighborhood Commercial areas
are intended to accommodate limited commercial services that are more appropriate in size and scale
to adjacent residential properties that also provide buffering as required within the zoning districts that
are appropriate within the Neighborhood Commercial category, such as O Office and SC Suburban
Commercial. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting on March 8, 2023. All property owners
within 200 feet of the subject property were notified of the neighborhood meeting. Two property
owners attended and expressed concern about the drainage on the sites. There have been no other
expressed concerns regarding extending the uses onto these additional lots. The proposed development
will provide a compatible commercial use adjacent to the surrounding existing residential duplex
developments and existing daycare commercial development. The proposal is compatible with the
character of the area.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their April 20, 2023 meeting and recommended
approval 5-0. Staff recommends approval of the request.

TxDOT FM 2818 Landscape Maintenance Agreement
Sponsor: Emily Fisher, Director of Public Works
Reviewed By CBC: City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a landscape maintenance
agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the maintenance of landscape in certain
areas along FM 2818.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Core Services and Infranstructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the landscape maintenance agreement.
Summary: Earlier this year, Public Works began transplanting trees from the SH 6 and University
Drive intersection. The trees located in this area are scheduled for clearing as part of the SH 6
widening project. While not all trees will be able to be transplanted, the city is attempting to move as
many as possible before the start of the project. Several areas have been identified for replanting,
including several parks and city facilities. Areas along FM 2818 between Texas Avenue and
Southwood Drive were also identified as viable areas for replanting. FM 2818 is a state controlled
roadway. Therefore, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) has requested that the city
enter into a landscape maintenance agreement. By entering into this agreement, the city agrees to
maintain all landscape elements it installs within the right of way, including but not limited to plant
maintenance and replacement, mowing and trimming, etc. The locations of the replanted trees are
shown in the attachment to the agreement. The ten trees located in front of the post office have
already been planted along with the replacement of several dead trees along the north side of FM
2818. 10 additional trees will be replanted next season.
Budget & Financial Summary: Replanting and maintenance of the trees will be done by Public
Works staff and is included in the operations and maintenance budget for the Streets, Landscape,
Irrigation, and Drainage Division.

Annual Polymer Purchase
Sponsor: Gary Mechler, Director of Water
Reviewed By CBC: City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on approving annual polymer
purchases from Polydyne, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $288,144.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
1. Financially Sustainable City
2. Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval to purchase polymer from Polydyne, Inc.
Summary: Polymer is a treatment chemical that aids in the separation of solids from wastewater. It
concentrates the solids in wastewater sludge for efficient treatment, allowing the removal of excess
water for treatment and disposal. Two separate processes use polymer for solids removal:
• Carters Creek WWTP centrifuge process
• Lick Creek WWTP centrifuge process
Polydyne, Inc products are available on the Texas Buy Board, Agreement #691-23. Because
Polydyne, Inc’s product also represents the best value for the City of College Station’s wastewater
treatment process, staff recommends they be awarded this annual purchase agreement.
All services and products available for purchase via BuyBoard contracts have been competitively bid
and awarded in compliance with Texas statutes relating to competitive bids and proposals. This
cooperative is administered by the Texas Association of School Boards and is endorsed by the
Texas Municipal League and the Texas Association of Counties.
Budget & Financial Summary: Wastewater Operating funds are budgeted and available for the
anticipated amount of polymer usage.

Purchasing Bullet Resistant Shields
Sponsor: Rodney Sigler
Reviewed By CBC: City Council
Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding purchasing bullet resistant
shields from M-Pak, Inc. for $172,707.47.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
- Good governance
Recommendation(s):
Staff respectfully recommends approving purchase of bullet resistant shields from M-Pak, Inc.
Summary:
The grant was awarded and activated on January 23, 2023, from the Office of the Governor. In the wake
of the school shooting in Uvalde, TX the Office of the Governor responded with this grant to better equip
law enforcement agencies to engage more safely in high-risk shooting scenarios. The use of rifle resistant
shields gives a distinct tactical advantage to law enforcement. Officers can penetrate active shooting
zones with a level of protection to achieve law enforcement objectives. The department currently has 16
shields, but all are not rated to stop a rifle round. The shields from M-Pak, Inc. are rated to stop a rifle
round and 29 shields will allow for all first responding vehicles to be equipped with a bullet resistant
shield.
The bullet resistant shields will be purchased from M-Pak, Inc., who is the awarded vendor on BuyBoard
Cooperative Contract #698-23 of these shields. All products and services on BuyBoard Cooperative have
been carefully and competitively bid and awarded based on Texas Law by the Local Government
Purchasing Cooperative. Purchasing through a cooperative or “interlocal contract” satisfies the Texas state
law requirement of local governments to seek competitive procurement for the purchase of goods or
services. Contingent upon City Council approval, this purchase will then be made.
Budget & Financial Summary:
This purchase is using awarded funds from Grant #4659501 from the Office of the Governor for an amount
not to exceed $172,707.47. A total of $170,920.84 was awarded from the grant and $1,786.63 is taken
from the Police department budget to pay for the 29th shield.

Goodwill Industries Debt Issuance
Sponsor: Mary Ellen Leonard, Director of Fiscal Services

Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a resolution for Heart of Texas
Goodwill Industries to receive a tax-exempt loan related to their new store in College Station.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Sustainable City of College Station
Core Services and Infrastructure
Recommendation(s): City staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
Summary: Heart of Texas Goodwill Industries wants to borrow $5,947,000 in a tax-exempt loan for a
comprehensive rehab for a new Goodwill store, located 4101 State Highway 6 South, in College
Station. The site is currently being remodeled. (The site used to be a Harley-Davidson building.) The
new loan will refinance a current Goodwill debt and will also provide funds to complete the new
Goodwill store. Goodwill qualifies as a tax-exempt borrower since they have a designation as a 501
(c)(3) charitable organization under the Internal Revenue Code. For the loan to be tax exempt it
must be approved by the City and Brazos County. The approval is required both under Section
147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, and Section 221.030(a)(1)(B) of the Texas Health and Safety
Code. The City’s approval has no impact on bonds issued by the City. The sole obligation to repay
the loan is that of Goodwill. The new loan also has no impact on any other bonds that the City may
issue in 2023.
Brazos County has approved a resolution for the same on May 9, 2023.
Goodwill’s attorney will be available for questions via Zoom.
Budget & Financial Summary: There is no impact to the City Budget for this resolution.

REZ2023-000007 Southwood Phase 21 Restricted Occupancy Overlay
Sponsor: Naomi Sing
Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission
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 27.1 acres of land, being 39 lots within Southwood
Phase 21, Blocks 3-6, generally located along Bee Creek Drive and Southwood Drive.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission heard this item at their May 4, 2023
meeting and recommended approval of the request 5-2.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 27.1 acres being 39 lots within the Southwood
Phase 21 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 Southwood Phase 21 subdivision boundaries. The ROO 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
Southwood Phase 21 homeowners, has met all requirements of the ROO application process. The
Petition Committee submitted the application materials including the ROO petition that contained 25
total signatures. City staff were able to verify all 25 signatures, representing 64.1% 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 Neighborhood Conservation on the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use & Character Map. The surrounding areas to the north are designated as Natural & Open
Areas in the areas where Bee Creek runs through, Parks & Greenways where Bee Creek Park is
located, and Urban Residential which is developed as multi-family housing. The surrounding
properties to the east and south are designated as Natural & Open Areas and are part of Bee Creek
Tributary and its floodplain. The subject properties are bounded by Southwest Parkway to the west,
which is an existing 4-lane minor arterial and is shown on the Comprehensive Plan’s Thoroughfare
Plan.
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
Page 50 of 71
caused by the rapid growth of the university and the stressors and potential changes that places on
nearby neighborhoods. Single-family overlay zoning 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 NCO Neighborhood Conservation and HP Historic
Preservation Overlays address and mitigate changes to physical property characteristics, the intent
of a ROO is to address and mitigate issues associated with over-occupancy. As a tool that a
neighborhood can pursue for itself to address issues of over-occupancy 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, except to
the north which is zoned R-6 High Density Multi-Family and is currently developed with multi-family
housing. The GS General Suburban zoned property located north is Bee Creek Park. The single-
family uses allowed by the GS General Suburban zoning district will remain and the addition of the
ROO 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 Section 11.2 ‘Defined Terms’ in the definition of ‘Family.’ Accessory living
quarter requirements are further specified in Section 6.5 ‘Accessory Uses’ within the standards for
‘Living Quarters.’
UDO sections 3.3 Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning), 4.1 Establishment of Districts, and 5.11
Single-Family Overlay Districts 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 Southwood Phase 21 Petition Committee was comprised of four members: Ruth Barbee, Harold
Boas, Susan Hartman, and Sherron McKenzie. The Petition Committee hosted their neighborhood
meeting on March 7, 2023, discussed pursing the ROO for their subdivision, answered questions
from their neighbors, and collected petition signatures. There were 20 attendees at the meeting, 19
were property owners and one was representing property owners who were not able to attend the
meeting. City staff was present as well. Some property owners signed the petition at the meeting.
Page 51 of 71
The Petition Committee finished collecting petition signatures and submitted their ROO application in
March 2023. City staff verified that the application was complete, and all requirements were met. The
submitted ROO Petition contained 25 total signatures, representing 64.1% of the subdivision in
support of the requested ROO. City staff were able to verify all signatures on the petition.
Staff held a required City-hosted neighborhood meeting for the Southwood Phase 21 ROO request
on April 19, 2023. There were fifteen residents in attendance, eight from Southwood Phase 21 who
signed the petition in support of the ROO, four participating remotely on Zoom, and three from the
surrounding properties who were interested in learning about the ROO application and whether it
applied to their properties, which it does not.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The ROO 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 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 only restricts the number of unrelated
persons per single-family dwelling or accessory living quarters to no more than two unrelated
persons.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
We are submitting this petition because for many decades we have been a family-oriented neighborhood with
most families having lived here for many, many years. Our neighborhood is zoned for single-family homes, but
we are starting to see that investors are beginning to turn single-family homes near us into ³mini-dorms.´We
would like to preserve our area and keep it as a place where families and professionals associated with Texas
A&M can live in a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood near the University.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
SFOD and Neighborhood Conservation land use
