August 17, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 8
Staff Planner Macias stated that the Unified Development Ordinance does allow for developers to substitute a masonry wall for a wooden fence if they double the area, and if
double the plantings are provided. Ms. Macias further clarified that BPI Business Park
Industrial zoning districts currently require double the plantings so the applicant would be required to provide quadruple the plantings, however the applicant is asking to only be required to provide double the plantings. Staff is supportive of this because the applicant is removing some of the more intense uses.

provide a detention pond design.

disrupt less natural vegetation.

SUBDIVISION WAVIER REQUESTS
The proposed Preliminary Plan is in compliance with the applicable Subdivision Regulations
contained in the UDO except for the following waiver requests:
UDO Section 8.3.G.2 ‘Blocks’ (Block Length for General Urban) – Per the
requirements of this section, block length shall be a maximum of 900 ft for areas
designated as General Urban on the Thoroughfare Plan Functional Classification and
Context Class Map. The applicant is requesting this waiver along Jones Butler Road,
Luther Street W and Marion Pugh Drive. The block length along Marion Pugh Drive is
approximately 1,278 feet, which exceeds the maximum block length by 378 feet. The
block length along Luther Street W is approximately 1,363 feet, which exceeds the
maximum block length by 463 feet. The block length along Jones Butler Road is
approximately 1,134 feet, which exceeds the maximum block length by 234 feet. The
applicant is requesting these waivers as their intention through the replat is to
increase the lot’s buildable area by incorporating the recently abandoned Sienna Dr
right-of-way
UDO Section 8.3.J. ‘Access Ways’ – Per the requirements of this section, in
blockfaces over 900 feet in length, an access way shall extend across the width of the
block near the center of the block. The applicant is requesting this waiver along Jones
Butler Road, Luther Street W and Marion Pugh Drive. The applicant has stated that
providing the access way is not possible without affecting the existing apartment units,
associated parking, fire lanes and amenities.
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when considering a waiver the Planning and
Zoning Commission should make the following findings to approve the waiver:
1) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that strict application of the provisions of this chapter will deprive the applicant of
the reasonable use of his land;
The property has frontage along Holleman Dr W, Marion Pugh Dr, Luther Dr W and Jones
Butler Rd. There is an existing multi-family development on the property making it
impossible to break block and provide access ways without affecting the existing units,
parking, and amenities.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
If the waiver is not granted, the subject tract cannot be replatted. The waivers provide the
applicant with the ability to provide more housing units without disrupting the existing
structures.
3) The granting of the waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering
this chapter; and
The granting of the waiver for this development will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property.
Page 28 of 128
4) That the granting of the waivers will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter.
Granting the requested waiver will not affect the ability of surrounding tracts to meet the
ordinance when platting. The surrounding properties are currently developed.

Item No. 5.2.
Greater Southwood Valley ROO - Restricted Occupancy Overlay
Sponsor: Gabriel Schrum
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 48.31 acres of land, being 103 lots within
Southwood Sections 1; 2; 2A; 6; 7; 9; and 10 Subdivisions and Camelot Addition Section 2
Subdivision, generally located between Southwest Parkway and Guadalupe Drive. Case #REZ2023-
000061 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the September 14, 2023 City Council
meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Neighborhood Integrity
Recommendation(s): N/A
Summary: Summary: This request is to rezone a total of approximately 48.31 acres from GS
General Suburban to GS General Suburban and ROO Restricted Occupancy Overlay, being
approximately:
• 11.26 acres being 20 lots within Southwood Section 1
• 9.98 acres being 13 lots within Southwood Section 2
• 2.96 acres being 4 lots within Southwood Section 2A
• 10.16 acres being 38 lots within Southwood Section 6, 7 & 9
• 3.76 acres being 8 lots within Southwood Section 10; and
• 10.19 acres being 20 lots within Camelot Addition Section 2
This request is to add the ROO, which is a single-family overlay zoning district, to the existing base
zoning within these contiguous 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 Greater Southwood Petition Committee, comprised of property owners
from each original subdivision, has met all requirements of the ROO application process. The Petition
Committee submitted the application materials including the ROO petition for each subdivision. When
submitting an application with contiguous subdivisions applying jointly within one application, the fifty
(50) percent plus one (1) petition signature threshold of property owners in support of the overlay
must be met for each of the original subdivisions that apply jointly. City staff were able to verify that
each original subdivision has met the petition signature threshold in support of the requested ROO.
Southwood Section 6, 7 & 9 is unique in that it has three section numbers but was platted in 1970 as
one subdivision plat and therefore counts as one original subdivision.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
Page 42 of 128
The subject areas are designated as Neighborhood Conservation and Natural & Open Areas on the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map. The Natural & Open Areas are tributaries
that lead to Bee Creek and the associated floodplain. The surrounding areas to the north are
designated as Neighborhood Conservation and the properties to the east are also designated as
Neighborhood Conservation with Natural & Open Areas (the Bee Creek tributaries). The subject lots
are surrounded by Neighborhood Conservation to the south and Neighborhood Conservation and
Institutional/Public to the west at the location of A&M Consolidated High School. These subject areas
are bounded by Southwest Parkway to the north, 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
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 areas are surrounded by GS General Suburban zoned single-family homes, except to
the north across Southwest Pkwy. which is zoned D-Duplex and is currently developed with duplex
housing. 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.’
Page 43 of 128
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. Contiguous subdivisions can choose
to work together and submit a joint application, provided that there is a representative from each
original subdivision on the Petition Committee and that each subdivision submits a petition that meets
the threshold of fifty (50) percent plus one (1) of signatures in support of the overlay for each
subdivision.
The Greater Southwood Petition Committee was comprised of eight members, with at least one
representative from each subdivision: Laurie Cordes (Southwood 1), Jerry Fox (Southwood 1) Wendy
Johnson (Southwood 1), Mary Dinkel (Southwood 2), April Dallis (Southwood 2A), Michael Atkinson
(Southwood 6, 7, 9), Will McCauley (Southwood 10), and Steve Hand (Camelot Addition Section 2).
The Petition Committee hosted their neighborhood meeting on March 30, 2023, discussed pursuing
the ROO for their subdivisions, answered questions from their neighbors, and collected petition
signatures. There were 27 attendees at the meeting, 19 were property owners and one was
representing property owners who were not able to attend the meeting. City staff were present as
well. Some property owners signed the petition at the meeting.
The Petition Committee finished collecting petition signatures and submitted their ROO application on
May 26, 2023. City staff verified that the application was complete, that all requirements were met,
and that the ROO petition for each original subdivision met the signature threshold. The verified
petition signatures in support of the ROO are as follows:
• Southwood Section 1: 18 of 20 lots in support (90%)
• Southwood Section 2: 8 of 13 lots in support (61.54%)
• Southwood Section 2A: 3 of 4 lots in support (75%)
• Southwood Section 6, 7 & 9: 21 of 38 lots in support (55.26%)
• Southwood Section 10: 5 of 8 lots in support (62.5%)
• Camelot Addition Section 2: 11 of 20 lots in support (55%)
Staff held a required City-hosted neighborhood meeting for this ROO application request on July 24,
2023. There were approximately 12 attendees, with the majority of questions relating to the overall
process and the legacy clause within the ROO.
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 subdivisions meet the dimensional standards for GS General
Suburban zoned properties as set forth in the UDO and are already developed as single-family
residential subdivisions.
4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities
generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district:
Page 44 of 128
The existing water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation infrastructure is adequate to support
the needs of these existing developments. 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.
The contiguous subdivions represented in this ROO application were originally developed between 1967 & 1972
for SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. For many years, residents have enjoyed the benefits of living in a family-oriented
neighborhood: desirable neighborhood characteristics & livability, well maintained homes & yards, safety, and a
harmonious, orderly community that fosters long-term relationships. We are not just neighbors. Many of us are
friends who feel like family.
Our neighborhood is zoned for single-family homes, but an ever-increasing number of these homes have been
purchased by real estate investors who desire to maximize profit by offering homes to the maximum number of
renters per home as possible. This is negatively impacting the benefits of living in single-family zoned
subdivison.
We would like to preserve our positive neighborhood characteristics and benefits.
Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not,
explain why the Plan is incorrect.
Yes, this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan for ³viable and attractive neighborhoods
that maintain long-term neighborhood integrity.´
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 properties within the ROO will continue the current use as single family homes.

Item No. 5.3.
710 Vassar Court Rezoning
Sponsor: Jesse Dimeolo
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
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 D Duplex to MF Multi-Family for approximately 0.35 acres
located at Lincoln Place Phase 2, Block C, Lot 22, generally located at 710 Vassar Court. Case
#REZ2023-000063 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the September 14, 2023 City
Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 0.35 acres of land generally located at 710
Vassar Court from D Duplex to MF Multi-Family. It is the applicant’s intent to construct a multifamily
product resembling townhomes on the property. Rather than have individually platted lots, the
applicant intends to have the future townhomes on a single multifamily lot, allowing for higher density
and more cost-effective living options in the area.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject tract is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map as
Urban Residential. For the Urban Residential land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the
following:
Areas that are appropriate for a range of high-density multifamily and attached residential
development in various forms including townhomes, apartment buildings, mixed-use buildings, and
limited non-residential uses that are compatible with the surrounding area.
The intent of the district is to:
• Accommodate a wide range of attractive multifamily housing for a diverse population.
• Buildings may be clustered and grouped. Building setback from street varies but is generally
consistent within a development.
• Provide vehicular and pedestrian connectivity between developments.
• Accommodate streetscape features such as sidewalks, street trees, and lighting.
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include: multifamily,
townhouse, mixed-use, and limited suburban commercial zoning. This rezoning request aligns with
the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 76 of 128
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
context of the surrounding area:
The Lincoln Place subdivision is a well-defined residential area that is bounded by public rights-of-
ways on three sides and a general commercial area to the northwest. An undeveloped commercial
area to the northeast, that is within walking distance, will provide additional commercial opportunities
for residents in this subdivision. Increased density in this area is beneficial and in line with the future
land use designation.
The proposed zoning district is appropriate for the surrounding area as it will allow for additional
residential in the area that is identified for higher density residential. Starting at the eastern edge of
the Lincoln Place subdivision, the subject property shares a rear property line with single-family
residences along Lincoln Avenue. The subject property also shares property side lot lines with
duplexes along Vassar Court. The existing duplex uses are not consistent with the future land use
and will continue to see redevelopment as more multifamily projects come in to meet the vision for
urban residential land uses in the area. Across Vassar Court, density is a little higher with multifamily
structures (fourplexes) to the north and northwest.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
While this area is slated for higher density residential, due to the smaller size of the lot being
rezoned, only a small-scale multifamily product would be able to be constructed here. The smaller
size would not create a conflict with the adjacent properties, but rather provide a good transition. The
site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards as set forth in the Unified
Development Ordinance and the minimum and maximum dwelling units per acre requirement.
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 and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this
development. Drainage and any other infrastructure required with the site development shall be
designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. Overall, peak
runoff cannot exceed current site conditions after development. The subject property fronts Vassar
Court, but access to the property will be from the alley to the rear.
5. The marketability of the property:
With its proximity to Texas A&M University, the property is marketable. The applicant states that
there is a strong demand for multifamily units that can provide cost-effective living options in the area.

List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change
necessary.
Developing townhomes in College Station is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it provides much-needed
housing options for the growing population of students and young professionals in the area. Secondly,
townhomes offer a more affordable and manageable alternative to single-family homes, making homeownership
more accessible for individuals and families. Lastly, the development of townhomes promotes community
building and a sense of belonging, fostering a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in College Station.
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 Comprehensive plan indicates these properties are designated as Urban Residential uses.
The Urban Residential land use designation generally allows for high-density, multi-family uses
that is able to conform to various forms of development including townhomes, apartments, and
mixed-use buildings. Rezoning this property to MF Multi-Family is in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential allows for multi-family residential uses.
Rezoning houses to multi-family units are beneficial as it allows for increased housing density,
maximizing land use efficiency and addressing the growing demand for housing near Texas
A&M University.
How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood?
Duplex units are suitable for this area due to the development character of the surrounding
properties. However, multi-family development allows for higher density housing, which is more
appropriate for the future land use plan for the area

This property is highly marketable within College Station for several reasons. The proximity to
Texas A&M University makes it an attractive option for students, faculty, and staff who desire
convenient access to campus facilities and amenities. And the demand for affordable housing in
the area creates a strong market for multi-family units that can provide cost-effective living
options.

1601 Sebesta Road Rezoning
Sponsor: Anthony Armstrong
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
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 M-1 Light Industrial to SC Suburban Commercial for
approximately 0.9663 acres located at 1601 Sebesta Road, generally located on the north side of
Sebesta Road across from Foxfire Drive. Case #REZ2023-000065 (Note: Final action of this item will
be considered at the September 28, 2023 City Council Meeting – Subject to change).
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request as it is in line with the
Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
Summary: This request is to rezone approximately 0.9663 acres of land generally located at 1601
Sebesta Road from M-1 Light Industrial to SC Suburban Commercial. It is the applicant's intent to
rezone this property to be in line with the Comprehensive Plan to allow for more neighborhood
commercial uses like retail sales.
REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:
The subject tract is designated on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map as
Neighborhood Commercial. For the Neighborhood Commercial land use, the Comprehensive Plan
provides the following:
Areas of commercial activities that cater primarily to nearby residents. These areas tend to be
smaller format than general commercial and located adjacent to major roads along the fringe of
residential areas. Design of these structures is compatible in size, architecture, and lot coverage with
surrounding residential uses.
The intent of the district is to accommodate limited commercial services compared to General
Commercial, as well as encourage transitions in building height and mass when adjacent to
residential neighborhoods. This area of Neighborhood Commercial is located as a step down from
the more intense General Commercial areas against the highway, towards the residential land uses
to the east.
The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within this land use include suburban commercial
and office zoning. This rezoning request aligns with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the
Page 87 of 128
context of the surrounding area:
The subject property is directly adjacent to the Century Hill Development Subdivision, which extends
to the west and north to the SH 6 frontage road. Century Hill Development has a pool supply
company and office building near the subject property, and a car dealership and large restaurant with
highway frontage. There is property to the north of the subject tract that is currently under
construction as an assisted living facility, which is zoned PDD Planned Development District with a
base zoning of SC Suburban commercial. To the east are warehouses located adjacent to the
Emerald Forest single family neighborhood. The subject property’s location of being between the
commercial center and a single family neighborhood makes SC Suburban Commercial zoning an
appropriate designation for this property, and is the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
This rezoning also removes the potential for light industrial uses close to the existing
neighborhoods. The existing zoning of M-1 Light Industrial allows for uses that would be inconsistent
with the adjacent neighborhood, such as outdoor storage. The UDO defines light industrial as, "A use
engaged in the manufacture, predominantly from previously prepared materials, of finished products
or parts, including processing, fabrication, assembly, treatment, packaging, incidental storage, sales,
and distribution of such products, but excluding basic industrial processing." The proposed zoning of
Suburban commercial allows for a variety of neighborhood friendly uses such as day cares, health
clubs, dry cleaners, and personal service shops. These uses are more appropriate for the
surrounding area than those of light industrial.
3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district:
The subject property is already developed with two existing buildings and associated parking. The
current use of the buildings is office, which is allowed in the SC Suburban Commercial zoning district.
The subject property's smaller acreage of under one acre lends the site to be better developed or
redeveloped under the SC Suburban Commercial zoning standards versus M-1 Light Industrial,
which tends to be bigger lots with larger footprints. For reference, the zoning district that replaced M-
1 Light Industrial when it was retired was BPI Business Park Industrial, which requires a minimum of
five acres.
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 and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this site. As the
applicant has no desire to change the layout of the site, all existing utilities will suffice to continue
serving the existing buildings. In the event that additional development is sought, any drainage or
infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property currently drains to Sebesta Road and
eventually to Bee Creek.
A TIA was not required on this rezoning request as the potential trip rate is below the 150 peak trip
threshold.
5. The marketability of the property:
With its location between a General Commercial center and an Estate neighborhood, the opportunity
for neighborhood-centered commercial uses makes the property more marketable for potential
tenants, such as retail sales or service shops. This rezoning request will expand the number of
allowed uses on the property, while also removing the industrial-related ones.

Parking and Access Standards for MH Middle 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 5.2 “Residential Zoning
District Dimensional Standards,” Article 7.3 “Off-Street Parking Standards,” and Article 7.4 “Access
Management and Circulation,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas,
regarding parking and access standards for developments in the MH Middle Housing zoning district.
Case #ORDA2023-000005. (Note: Final action on this item is scheduled for the September 14, 2023
City Council Meeting – subject to change.)
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Good Governance
• Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: At the August 10, 2023 City Council meeting, staff gave a presentation on the results of
the City-initiated middle housing rezonings public engagement and sought direction on which cases
to bring forward. Additionally, staff suggested several amendments to MH Middle Housing zoning
district based on feedback from the public and the development community. The City Council gave
direction for staff to pursue an ordinance amendment to increase the maximum number of parking
spaces in the front yard in the MH Middle Housing zoning district.
In conversations with the development community, concerns were raised about the parking and
access standards in MH Middle Housing. The current district standards require that parking be
located in the rear yard when the required number of parking spaces exceeds three (3). While the
intent of the district is to create a more walkable pattern of lots, with buildings lining the streets, this
standard may limit an applicant’s desire rezone a property to MH Middle Housing, when a property’s
current zoning district would allow four (4) spaces in the front yard. Staff is proposing to amend the
district standard to increase the maximum number of parking spaces in the front yard to no more than
four (4) as long as the parking area does not make up more than fifty percent (50%) of the front yard.
This would allow single-family, duplex, and townhouse uses to park in the front yard, if they choose,
and require shared housing uses and multiplex developments to park in the rear yard.
Finally, in Section 7.4.e, a clarity amendment is being provided to state that when rear parking is
provided, one driveway can be provided to serve two lots.

Page 104 of 128
Sec. 7.4. Access Management and Circulation.
A. Location of Existing and Planned Multi-Modal Routes.
Any proposed development shall take into account the location of existing and planned multi-modal routes
(i.e., bikeways, pedestrian ways, and transit routes) and provide pedestrian and/or vehicular connections to
the route(s) within or adjacent to the development.
B. Easements.
1. Street Access.
No use shall be permitted to take direct access to a street except as allowed in this Section.
a. Local Streets.
All residential uses and associated visitor parking areas may take direct access to local streets.
Residential visitor parking areas may take direct access to local streets via a driveway; however,
no backing maneuvers onto local streets shall be allowed. Non-residential uses shall not take
direct access to local streets, provided that any lot located within a non-residential subdivision or
any parcel adjacent to a street within a non-residential subdivision may take direct access to the
local street internal to the subdivision, and provided that any corner lot abutting a local street
and an arterial or collector street or freeway/expressway may take access to the local street if
such access is required by the highway governmental authority having jurisdiction.
b. Minor Collector Streets.
No single-family dwelling, duplex, or townhouse shall take direct access to minor collector streets
except when permitted by Article 8, Subdivision Design and Improvements of this UDO.
Residential visitor parking areas may take direct access to minor collector streets via a driveway;
however, no backing maneuvers onto local streets shall be allowed.
c. Major Collector Streets.
No single-family dwelling, duplex, townhouse, or multiplex shall take direct access to major
collector streets. Residential visitor parking areas may take direct access to major collector
streets via a driveway; however, no backing maneuvers onto local streets shall be allowed.
d. Arterial Streets.
No single-family dwelling, duplex, townhouse, or multiplex shall take direct access to arterial
streets.
e. Shared Driveways.
The Development Engineer may require a shared driveway at the time of platting, development,
or redevelopment of the affected lots.
When MH Middle Housing lots take access from a public street to provide rear parking, one (1)
driveway shall be allowed for every two (2) lots, unless a rear alley is provided. The Administrator
may approve up to three (3) lots to take access from a single driveway for rear parking if a shared
access easement is provided. See the example diagram below:
Page 105 of 128
MH Middle Housing Shared Driveways
2. Cross-Access Easements.
a. If a parcel is to be developed for any non-residential land use, a cross-access easement shall be
provided by the property owner to adjoining properties that front on the same street and that
are, or may be, developed as non-residential land uses.
b. Cross-access easements shall be situated parallel to the street right-of-way line abutting both
parcels. The property owner shall maintain access easements.
c. The property owner shall provide appropriate documentation of a good faith effort to extend the
access easement through all immediately abutting properties. If such an effort fails, the portion
of the easement on the subject site shall be developed and designed to ensure future connection
to the neighboring properties.
d. Where a cross-access easement is granted, no permanent structures or parking that would
interfere with the proposed access shall be permitted in the easement. Some improvements such
as medians and parking islands may be constructed within an access easement if it has been
demonstrated that adequate circulation and cross access have been accomplished and that all
applicable standards of this UDO have been met.
e. The Development Engineer may waive the requirement for an easement of access required
above in those cases where unusual topography or site conditions would render such an
easement of no useable benefit to adjoining properties.
f. The Development Engineer may approve the vacation of an easement of access in those cases
where adjoining parcels are subsequently developed with a residential use.
C. Driveway Access Location and Design.
1. General.
a. It shall be unlawful for any person to cut, break, or remove any curb or install a driveway along a
street except as herein authorized. Openings in the curb may be approved by the Development
Engineer for the purposes of drainage.

Item No. 5.6.
High Occupancy Ordinance (HOO)
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, Section 1.10 “Transitional
Provisions,” Section 4.1 “Establishment of Districts,” Section 5.10 “Overlay Districts,” and Section 6.3
“Types of Use” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, for the creation of the
HOO High Occupancy Overlay. Case #ORDA2023-000004. (Note: Final action on this item is
scheduled for the September 14, 2023 City Council Meeting – subject to change.)
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: At the August 10, 2023 City Council meeting, staff gave a presentation on the results of
the City-initiated middle housing rezoning public engagement and sought direction on which cases to
bring forward. Additionally, staff suggested several amendments to the MH Middle Housing zoning
district based on feedback from the public and the development community.
During conversations with the public, concerns were identified relating to allowing Shared Housing
uses (a use that allows more than one family to reside in a single dwelling unit) within all the areas
being considered for City-initiated MH Middle Housing. Staff recommended and the City Council
gave direction for the removal of the Shared Housing use from the MH Middle Housing zoning district
and to instead allow the use through an overlay district, known as a HOO High Occupancy
Overlay. Shared housing will continue to be allowed by right in MF Multi-Family and the Northgate
zoning districts. By doing this, the City could better define where Shared Housing would be located.
This amendment only creates the HOO High Occupancy Overlay district. A future amendment in
October would remove Shared Housing from the MH Middle Housing zoning district as a permitted
use. These are being done as separate amendments so that we don’t create any non-conforming
uses. Following the amendment in October, the City Council would then consider the rezoning of
properties to MH Middle Housing and/or to HOO High Occupancy Overlay.

Sec. 5.10. Overlay Districts.
In the event an area is rezoned to apply an overlay district, this district shall apply to all multi‐family, commercial,
and industrial property, and where applicable, to single‐family, duplex, or townhouse development. The underlying
district establishes the permitted uses and shall remain in full force, and the requirements of the overlay district
are to be applied in addition to the underlying use and site restrictions.
A. OV Corridor Overlay.
This district is established to enhance the image of gateways and key entry points, major corridors, and other
areas of concern, as determined by the City Council, by maintaining a sense of openness and continuity.
The following supplemental standards shall apply to this district:
1. Setbacks.
All buildings will be set back forty (40) feet from the right‐of‐way. Where parking is located in the front
of the building, there shall be a front setback of twenty (20) feet from the right‐of‐way to the parking
area and all drive aisles.
2. Signs.
Freestanding signs shall be limited to the restrictions of the Signs Section of Article 7, General
Development Standards of this UDO but shall not exceed the height of the building.
3. Building Colors.
Building colors shall be neutral and harmonious with the existing man‐made or natural environment,
and only compatible accent colors shall be used. All colors shall be approved by the Administrator. The
applicant must provide elevation drawings and color samples.
4. Special Restrictions for Retail Fuel Sales.
In cases where the underlying zoning district allows fuel sales and a station is proposed, the following
restrictions shall apply:
a. Activities Restricted.
1) No major emergency auto repair; and
2) No body, fender, or paint work.
b. Signs.
1) Sign height shall be restricted by the provisions of the Signs Section of Article 7, General
Development Standards of this UDO but shall not exceed the height of the building.
2) No freestanding fuel price signage shall be permitted.
3) Signs for air, water, and other similar services or products must meet the criteria for
exempt signs as provided in the Signs Section of Article 7, General Development Standards
of this UDO.
B. RDD Redevelopment District.
The purpose of this district is to facilitate the redevelopment of existing nonconforming commercial centers
through flexible or relaxed standards, which can accommodate existing physical limitations and take
extraordinary circumstances into account. The RDD Redevelopment District is an overlay district. The
permissible uses on any site shall be governed by the underlying zoning.
The following supplemental standards shall apply to this district:
1. Location.
Page 113 of 128
An RDD Redevelopment District may be established upon any commercially zoned property where the
initial development was developed a minimum of twenty (20) years before the rezoning request and
the proposed redevelopment meets the intent of this Section. Special consideration should be given to
those areas considered "gateways" and/or historic, and those with proximity to Texas A&M University.
2. Standards.
Although every effort should be made to meet all requirements of this UDO, designated RDD
Redevelopment Districts may be allowed to waive up to fifty (50) percent of required parking standards
and landscaping where physical limitations and the site's location and relationship to the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan warrant consideration. A lesser percentage may be established as part of the
approval process.
3. Criteria for Evaluation.
Evaluation of all sites and site plans for rezoning to RDD Redevelopment District shall consider the
following:
a. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan;
b. Aesthetic contribution of the proposed redevelopment;
c. Economic viability of the existing site;
d. Physical limitations and the demonstrated inability to meet current requirements;
e. Public health and safety standards; and
f. Effort made to meet all standards of this UDO.
g. Full engineering of sites may not be required for the establishment of an RDD Redevelopment
District; however, a preliminary engineering study will be required which assesses parking,
vehicular access and circulation, drainage, and utility requirements.
4. Procedure for Establishment.
The procedure for rezoning to RDD Redevelopment District shall be the same as any other rezoning
application except that a site plan of the proposed redevelopment of the site shall be carefully
evaluated to ascertain the site plan's benefit to achieving the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
Elevations of proposed structures may be required as part of the review process, or to determine
eligibility for rezoning.
Full engineering may not be required for evaluating a property for rezoning. Varying levels of
information may be required by the Administrator depending upon the peculiarities of any given site.
The site plan components shall govern the redevelopment of the site following the approval of an RDD
Redevelopment District.
C. HP Historic Preservation Overlay.
1. Purpose.
The HP Historic Preservation Overlay is intended to provide for the protection and preservation of
places and areas of historical, cultural, and architectural importance and significance. Such action is
necessary to promote the economic, cultural, educational, and general welfare of the public.
Specifically, this district has the following expressed purposes:
a. To protect and enhance the landmarks and districts which represent distinctive elements of
College Station's historic, architectural, and cultural heritage;
b. To foster civic pride in the accomplishments of the past;
Page 114 of 128
c. To protect and enhance College Station's attractiveness to visitors and the support and stimulus
to the economy thereby provided;
d. To ensure the harmonious, orderly, and efficient growth and development of College Station;
e. To promote economic prosperity and welfare of the community by encouraging the most
appropriate use of such property within College Station; and
f. To encourage stabilization, restoration, and improvements of such properties and their values.
2. Applicability.
The HP Historic Preservation Overlay may be applied to districts, areas, or individual property,
regardless of the base zoning district or current use of the properties, that:
a. Are at least forty (40) years old;
b. Meet at least two (2) of the criteria listed below; and
c. Possess historic integrity that is evident through historic qualities including location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
3. Criteria for Designation of HP Historic Preservation Overlays.
A property or district may be designated if it:
a. Possesses significance in history, architecture, archeology, and culture;
b. Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local,
regional, state, or national history;
c. Is associated with events that have made a significant impact in our past;
d. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction;
e. Represents the work of a master designer, builder, or craftsman;
f. Represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood or city; or
g. Is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, Recorded Texas Historic
Landmark, or a State Archaeological Landmark, as determined by the Texas Historical
Commission.
4. Removal of an HP Historic Preservation Overlay.
Upon recommendation of the Landmark Commission to the Planning and Zoning Commission based
upon new and compelling evidence and negative evaluation according to the same criteria and
following the same procedures set forth in this UDO for designation, the Planning and Zoning
Commission may recommend to the City Council and the City Council may remove an HP Historic
Preservation Overlay made under this Section.
D. HOO High Occupancy Overlay.
1. Purpose.
The purpose of this district is to accommodate increased residential occupancy through the permitting
of shared housing as a use. The HOO High Occupancy Overlay aims to promote efficient land use and
provide additional housing opportunities by allowing higher‐occupancy residential structures within
specific areas of College Station where additional residential density is appropriate.
2. Applicability.
The HOO High Occupancy Overlay may be applied where the base zoning district(s) of the area is MH
Middle Housing, a multi‐family zoning district, or a mixed‐use zoning district. An area under this overlay
shall consist of a property or contiguous properties that are of sufficient size that generally follow
Page 115 of 128
visible geographic features of an area. It is not the intent for this overlay to be applied to small areas or
individual lots.
3. Standards.
In addition to the permitted uses of the base zoning district, shared housing is a permitted use.
Page 116 of 128
Sec. 6.3. Types of Use.
A. Uses of land or structures which are not expressly listed in the Use Table as permitted uses (P), permitted
uses subject to specific use standards (P*), or conditional uses (C) in a zoning district or planned
development are prohibited uses and shall not be established in that district or planned development.
B. The Administrator shall determine whether or not an unlisted use, that is otherwise prohibited, as stated
above should be processed. In doing so, the Administrator shall utilize purpose statements adopted herein in
conjunction with the applicable zoning district, and consideration of the following criteria:
1. The actual or anticipated characteristics of the activity based on known characteristics of similar
projects in standard planning practice;
2. The relative amount of site area, floor space, and equipment;
3. Relative volumes of sales from each activity;
4. The customer type for each activity;
5. The relative number of employees in each activity;
6. Hours of operation;
7. Building and site arrangement;
8. Vehicles used with the activity and the relative number of vehicle trips generated by the use; and
9. How the use advertises itself.
C. Use Table.
Except where otherwise specifically provided herein, regulations governing the use of land and structures
with the various zoning districts and classifications of planned developments are hereby established as
shown in the following Use Table.
1. Permitted Uses.
A "P" indicates that a use is allowed by right in the respective district. Such uses are subject to all other
applicable regulations of this UDO.
2. Permitted Uses Subject to Specific Standards.
A "P*" indicates a use that will be permitted, provided that the use meets the provisions in the Specific
Use Standards Section below. Such uses are also subject to all other applicable regulations of this UDO.
3. Conditional Uses.
A "C" indicates a use that is allowed only where a conditional use permit is approved by the City
Council. The Council may require that the use meet the additional standards enumerated in the
Specific Use Standards Section below. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable regulations of

PDS Plan of Work
Sponsor: Michael Ostrowski, Director of Planning and Development
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on the PDS Plan of Work.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Good Governance
• Financial Sustainability
• Core Services & Infrastructure
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse & Growing Economy
• Improving Mobility
• Sustainable City
Recommendation(s): To provide any further direction to staff on projects for the FY2024 Plan of
Work.
Summary: At the August 17, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting staff provided an
update on the Plan of Work for FY2023 and draft projects for FY2024. This item is for any further
discussion on any of the projects before they go for approval during the September 21, 2023
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. In addition to the Plan of Work for FY2024, any
unfinished projects in FY2023 will also move to FY2024. Since the last meeting, we have added a
few more projects, including updating additional building codes, flood ordinance amendments, and a
cost of service study.
As a reminder, every year the Planning and Development Services Department creates a plan of
work that is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The plan of work identifies the items
that the department will work on during the year. By establishing a plan of work, it helps the
department prioritize which projects they will undertake, as well as identify the resources it will take,
both in terms of staff capacity and budget. The plan of work is established for each fiscal year
(October - September), but projects may take multiple years to complete. There are times when
additional projects get added throughout the year. However, this can have an impact on completing
other projects on the plan of work.

1 Bike Lane and Improvements Analysis Analyze roadways to determine prime
candidates for the addition of bike lanes and/or improvements such as separated bike lanes.
Not Started 05/01/2023 09/30/2023 07/13/2023 This project has been consolidated with the grant application for the Complete Streets Plan for
Core of College Station which will start in FY 24 if awarded. If not awarded, will proceed with lesser internal effort. Existing Conditions and data collection will start later this summer regardless.
2 Bryan / College Station Unified Design GuidelinesUpdate These guidelines serve as a technical resource for the design and construction of activities in the rights-of-way or easements.
This project involves updates to various portions of the guidelines.
Off Track 10/01/2022 07/31/2024 07/25/2023 Limited staffing resources of contributing teams have delayed progress.
3 Census 2020 Follow Up Monitor Census 2020 data releases from
the US Census Bureau. Once data is available, update population figures and projections, identify data trends and
conduct analysis.
Off Track 08/14/2023 09/30/2023 07/08/2023 The U.S. Census Bureau released the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DHC)
file in late May 2023. There is another planned release in September 2023 of the Detailed DHC-A that will provide additional racial and ethnic information. The Detailed DHC-B will follow, with no set date at this time, and it will add tenure information for racial and ethnic groups.
We now have more timely data from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS). Additionally,
the 2022 ACS data will be released in December 2023. Staff in the Planning division will need to analyze all data sets later this year, likely in December 2023 or January 2024, and determine how to incorporate these data sets into a demographics/existing conditions report in 2024 that
will precede the 5-year Comprehensive Plan update in 2025.
