• SUBJECT: UDO Annual Review, Article 5.4, Non - Residential Dimensional Standards
At the direction of the Planning & Zoning Commission at the January 5, 2006 meeting, the Annual
Review of the UDO has been divided into several smaller amendments for consideration. The
following background information has been prepared for your review prior to the formal
consideration of amendments to Section 5.4 Non - residential Dimensional Standards at the March
16, 2006 P &Z meeting.
In office and commercial zoning districts, minimum lot sizes for individual developments are
24'x100'. Because of the site requirements for non - residential projects (setbacks, parking lots,
landscaping and streetscaping, etc.), the developability of such small lots seems unlikely. It is
proposed that these non - residential zoning districts have minimum lot sizes that are more realistic
for development. The proposed dimensions are as follows:
• A -P, Administrative Professional and C -3, Light Commercial — 50'x100'
• C -1, General Commercial and C -2, Commercial- Industrial — 200'x200'
• No changes to M -1, Light Industrial, M -2, Heavy Industrial, or R &D, Research &
Development

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 20, 2006
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Jennifer Prochazka, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Joey Dunn, Director of Planning & Development Services
• SUBJECT: UDO Annual Review - Non - Residential Architectural Standards
At the direction of the Planning & Zoning Commission at the January 5, 2006 meeting, the Annual
Review of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) has been divided into several smaller
amendments for consideration. The following background information has been prepared for
your review prior to the formal consideration of amendments to the Non - Residential Architectural
(NRA) Standards at the March 16, 2006 P &Z meeting.
In October 2004, the City Council adopted an ordinance that established aesthetic controls for
non - residential developments, the Non - Residential Architectural Standards. This is the first
review and amendment to the NRA since its adoption approximately 16 months ago. The
proposed changes are in response issues that have been identified by both customers and staff
during implementation and enforcement of the ordinance.
This section has been reorganized into a format that is easier to understand — including a
summary chart at the beginning of the section and reorganization of the standards by
building /building plot size in a cumulative manner. Because this is the first review of the NRA,
there are several grammatical changes and overall word - smithing of the section. The following
are the policy issues involved:
• Section 7.10.A "Applicability" to clarify that the non - residential architectural standards
apply to all non - residential development, redevelopment, and fagade changes.
• Section 7.10.13 "Standards for All Non - Residential Structures ": graphic added to
summarize the requirements of the non - residential architectural standards, to define
what fagades face a right -of -way, and to define what constitutes a right -of -way`.
• Section 7.10.6.2 "Building Mass and Design" to remove requirements for front
building fagades and have them apply to all fagades facing a right -of -way.
•
• • Section 7.10.B.3 "Building Materials" to clarify that existing buildings may utilize non-
conforming building materials for maintenance purposes, but any material change or
replacement of more than 10% of the total area of all facades shall require material
and color compliance; to establish a minimum percentage of surface area that must
utilize a required building material; to clarify which concrete products are allowed; to
restrict reflective glass on all facades facing a public right -of -way; to add an exception
to the reflective glass limitation; and to add a restriction against unbuffered painted
steel panel siding and galvanized steel use from residential areas.
• Section 7.10.B.5 "Pedestrian /Bike Circulation & Facilities" to include a standard for
how much area is needed for a bike rack and to only allow the racks to be anchored
to the ground.
• Section 7.10.B.6 "Parking Lots" to clarify that drive aisles are considered part of
parking areas.
• Section 7.10.D "Additional Standards for 20,000 S.F. or Greater" to set a minimum
percentage of surface area that must utilize a required building material and to
remove the requirement for a 30 -inch band of specified material at the base of
buildings.
• Section 7.10.E.1 "Building Mass and Design" to remove requirements for front
building facades and have them apply to all facades facing a right -of -way for 50,000
sq.ft. or greater buildings /building plots.
• Section 7.10.E.3 "Landscaping" to define minimum tree well requirements and to
allow for unlimited substitutions of non - canopy trees for canopy trees against a
building.
• Section 7.10.E.4 `Pedestrian /Bike Circulation & Facilities" to set a standard of brick
pavers or stamped dyed concrete for required walkways in parking lots for 50,000
sq.ft. or greater buildings /building plots.
• Section 7.10.E "Additional Standards for 150,000 S.F. or Greater" to increase the
• minimum area for a plaza from 200 to 500 sq.ft., clarify that the area of a plaza can
not count towards parking lot island requirements, remove the option of vegetation
shading as a minimum component of a plaza, set a minimum percentage of surface
area that must utilize a required building material, and require parking areas to be
screened by berms.
• Section 7.10.G "Variances — Design Review Board" to increase the amount of an
allowable variance from 75% to 100% of the total percentage of a standard.
• Section 7.10.H "Submittal Requirements" added to define what information is needed
from the developer at what time in the development process.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 16, 2006
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Crissy Hard, Staff Planner
THROUGH: Joey Dunn, Director of Planning & Development Services
SUBJECT: UDO Annual Review, Article 11, Definitions
At the direction of the Planning & Zoning Commission at the January 5, 2006 meeting, the Annual
Review of the UDO has been divided into several smaller amendments for consideration. The
following background information has been prepared for your review prior to the formal
consideration of amendments to Article 11, Definitions at the March 16, 2006 P &Z meeting. Non -
housekeeping items in this section include changes to the definitions of "building plot," "clinic,"
and "hospital." The following information reflects the proposed changes to each definition:
Building Plot or Premises: All of the land within a project, whether one or more lots,
developed according to a common plan or design for similar or compatible uses, that may
have shared access or parking, and that singularly or in phases is treated as such for site
plan review purposes. The determination of the boundaries of a building plot shall be
made as the first step in the site plan or project review, unless such determination has
previously been made at the time of plat approval. For development not subject to site
plan review, the building plot or premises shall be the exterior boundary of any included
lots, in the event that the structure sits astride two or more lots. In the event that two or
more lots are under single ownership and the structure does not meet the required side
yard setback, both lots shall be considered the building plot or premises. Demolished
sites located in larger parking lots that may not have previously been considered
part of a larger building plot, will be considered part of the plot if access is shared
with the site.
• Clinic:
• A facility operated by
one or more physicians, dentists, chiropractors, or other licensed practitioners of
the healing arts for the examination and treatment of persons solely on an
outpatient basis.
Hospital or Sanitarium: A building, or portion thereof, used or designed for the medical
or surgical treatment of the sick, mentally ill, or injured persons, primarily on an
inpatient basis, and including as an integral part, related facilities such as laboratories,
outpatient facilities, or training facilities; provided that this definition shall not include
rooms in any residential dwelling, hotel, or apartment hotel not ordinarily intended to be
occupied by said persons.

Regular Agenda 5
Presentation, possible action, and discussion
on a Master Plan for Aggieland Business
Park consisting of 117.48 acres located at
5942 Raymond Stotzer Parkway (FM 60) at
the northwest corner of FM 60 and Jones
Road in the City's extra - territorial
jurisdiction (ETJ). Case #06- 500020 (TF)
• STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Trey Fletcher, Senior Planner Report Date: February 20, 2006
Email: tfletcher(a)cstx.gov Meeting Date: March 2, 2006
Project Number: 06- 00500020
Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Master Plan for
Aggieland Business Park, consisting of 117.48 acres, located at 5942 Raymond
Stotzer Parkway (FM 60) at the northwest corner of FM 60 and Jones Road in
the City's extra - territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
Applicant: Jim Jett, agent for property owner 60- Jones, LLC dba Aggieland
Business Park
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Master Plan.
Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Master Plan, which is
required for all subdivisions proposed in more than one phase and containing
more than 50 acres of land. Aggieland Business Park proposes two commercial
phases (38.31 acres) and a future mixed use area (79.19 acres). Phase I has six
lots and Phase II has 10 lots.
• Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The property is at the northwest corner
of FM 60 and Jones Road in the College Station ETJ. The Land Use Plan
projects Single - Family Residential Low Density for this area, but the City has no
authority over land use in the ETJ. Residential uses are proposed on the area
shown as future mixed use development.
FM 60 is shown as Freeway, on the Thoroughfare Plan. Jones Road extends
from FM 60 north to Villa Maria, immediately west of SH 47, but is not classified
as a thoroughfare by either College Station or Bryan.
The water supplier for this development is currently Brushy Water Supply and
the sewer is proposed to be on -site septic. The City of College Station has filed
a Sewer CCN (Certificate of Convenience and Necessity) application with the
Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to provide sewer collection
and treatment in the ETJ.
Since the property is in the ETJ, the Parks and Recreation Board does not
review this Master Plan.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the
Master Plan. The options regarding the Master Plan are:
■ Approval
• Denial
• Attachments:
1. Small Area Map (SAM) & Aerial Map
2. Application
3. Copy of Master Plan (provided in packet)

Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, Planner Report Date: February 17, 2006
Email: Meeting Date: March 2, 2006
Project Number: 05- 00500232
Item: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on a replat of
Indian Lakes Phase IV into Indian Lakes Phase IX, consisting of 44 lots on 14.78
acres, generally located southeast of the intersection of Indian Lakes Drive and
Arapaho Ridge Drive.
Applicant: Travis Martinek, agent for Smiling Mallard Development, Ltd.,
property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat as
submitted.
Item Summary: This item is for consideration of a Final Plat for a new section of
the Indian Lakes development that will provide smaller single - family lots in a
gated community.
Several variance requests were approved in August 2005 to allow such a
development to occur. The following table summarizes the variances granted for
• this property in August 2005:
It is also necessary for the applicant to request variances from the County
Subdivision Regulations and receive plat approval from the County
Commissioner's Court. The County Commissioner's Court will be considering
variances to the front and side lot utility easement widths, setbacks, and
maximum dwelling units per acre and lot size. Minimum lot sizes are
recommended in the County for the construction of septic systems. Since the
developer has proposed to tie into the City's sanitary sewer system, individual
• lots will not need septic systems.

It is also necessary for the applicant to request variances from the County
Subdivision Regulations and receive plat approval from the County
Commissioner's Court. The County Commissioner's Court will be considering
variances to the front and side lot utility easement widths, setbacks, and
maximum dwelling units per acre and lot size. Minimum lot sizes are
recommended in the County for the construction of septic systems. Since the
developer has proposed to tie into the City's sanitary sewer system, individual
• lots will not need septic systems.
• Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows most of the
land in the ETJ to be developed at a rural density (very low density residential
development with agricultural and support uses). The City does not control land
use in the county, but does share platting authority.
Item Background: This area was formerly part of Indian Lakes Phase 4
(vacated June 22, 2005). The City and the developer agree that the increase in
density from the rest of the Indian Lakes development warrants this proposal to
be a new project. A Preliminary Plat for this property, proposing 42 lots and an
on -site sewer treatment plant, was approved in August. A new Preliminary Plat
was approved by the Commission on February 2, 2006 because the applicant
proposed connecting to the City sanitary sewer system. Because of the removal
of the on -site private wastewater treatment plant, two additional lots were
included in the most recent Preliminary Plat.
Commission Action Options Regarding the Final Plat: The Commission has
final authority over the Final Plat. The options regarding the Final Plat are:
■ Approval
• Denial
Infrastructure and Facilities
• Water required for plat: This phase is not considered to be vested and
. therefore must meet all fire flow requirements in accordance with the
Bryan /College Station Design Guidelines and Specifications. The
domestic water is proposed to be served off the same line as fire flow and
is to be served by Wellborn SUD.
• Sewer required for plat: The developer proposes tying into the City
sanitary sewer system. This requires that this property be brought into the
City's sewer CCN or a special exception be granted by the City Council,
and easements be obtained prior to the Final Plat.
Streets required for plat: The streets are proposed to be privately
maintained by the HOA, 24 -feet in width, inverted crown for centerline
drainage with no curb and gutters. The private street system is proposed
to tie into Indian Lakes Drive, a major collector on the City's Thoroughfare
Plan.

Public hearing, presentation, possible action,
and discussion on a rezoning for Lot 1, Block
A of the Haney- Highway 6 Subdivision, 1.2
acres, from C -3 Light Commercial to C -1
General Commercial located at 3129 Texas
Avenue South at the intersection of Texas
Avenue, Deacon Drive and the Highway 6
frontage road. Case #06- 500021 (JP)
• STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Jennifer Prochazka, Planner Report Date: February 20, 2006
Email: jprochazkaCcDcstx.gov Meeting Date: March 2, 2006
Project Number: 06- 00500021
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on a
rezoning for Lot 1, Block A of the Haney- Highway 6 Subdivision, 1.2 acres, from
C -3 Light Commercial to C -1 General Commercial located at 3129 Texas
Avenue South at the intersection of Texas Avenue, Deacon Drive and the
Highway 6 frontage road.
Applicant: Charles Taylor, applicant for TOC -DS Company, property owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends denial of the rezoning request.
The Comprehensive Plan policy guide states that general commercial uses
should be separated from lower intensity residential uses by transition buffer
areas. While an office- commercial development such as the adjacent mini -
storage can provide an appropriate separation, the policy states that transitional
buffers such as these be a minimum of 200 feet to separate incompatible land
uses. The adjacent mini - storage property does not provide the minimum 200
foot separation. The Small Area Map attached to this report shows a distance of
• 200 feet from the subject property (the notification area).
The Unified Development Ordinance states that the C -3 Light Commercial
zoning district is "designed to provide locations for commercial sites that are too
small for many permitted uses in the C -1 General Commercial District. These
are moderately low traffic generators that have little impact on adjacent areas or
on adjacent thoroughfares." The C -1 General Commercial zoning district is
"designed to provide locations for general commercial purposes, that is, retail
sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its
visitors." The current C -3 Light Commercial zoning on the property is
appropriate for its location and size.
Item Summary: The applicant is requesting a rezoning to C -1 General
Commercial in order to develop the property as a retail shopping center. A retail
shopping center is a permitted use in the current C -3 Light Commercial district.
Attached is a list of uses that are permitted in C -1 General Commercial, but not
in the current C -3 Light Commercial zoning district. C -1 General Commercial
allows many uses that may not be appropriate in this location, which has limited
access and is in close proximity to an established single family neighborhood.
Bernadine Estates, the Mile Drive neighborhood, may experience cut - through
traffic as a result of development of this property.

• The subject property is 1.2 acres and is surrounded by property that is zoned
PDD Planned Development District and developed as a mini - storage facility.
The subject property has street frontage and access from both Texas Avenue
and the Highway Six frontage road.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates this
property as Regional Retail. The Comprehensive Plan defines 'Regional Retail'
as "areas permitting regional -scale development of tax - generating developments
such as retail centers, service commercial, restaurants, etc. These uses are
generally dependent on good access to highways and major arterials. Post Oak
Mall is an example of this use." While the property is shown as Regional Retail
on the Land Use Plan, the Comprehensive Plan development policies suggest
that this property is better suited for C -3 Light Commercial than C -1 General
Commercial.
Texas Avenue is shown as a major arterial and State Highway 6 is shown as a
freeway on the City's Thoroughfare Plan.
Item Background: The property was annexed into the City limits in 1969 and
was zoned 'District No. 1, First Dwelling House,' for single family development,
at that time.
• The property was platted as Haney- Highway 6 Subdivision in 1985, the plat was
amended in 1988 to relocate access easements and add a 'greenbelt' to help
buffer the Mile Drive neighborhood from commercial uses on the adjacent
property, in compliance with an agreement reached by the commercial property
owners and representatives of the adjacent Mile Drive neighborhood.
There have been numerous rezoning requests for this and surrounding
properties in the Haney- Highway 6 Subdivision:
1976 - C -1 request denied
1978 - C -1 request denied
1979 - C -1 and A -P request approved with the A -P as a buffer between the
commercial property and the neighborhood
1982 - Planning and Zoning Commission initiated a rezoning to A -P for the
whole tract after a petition by the Mile Drive residents requested that no
commercial development be allowed on the Haney- Highway 6 tract
1984 - C -1 request denied
1985 - C -1 request denied
1985 - C -3 request approved on subject property.
1988 - C -3 was approved on adjacent properties with the support of the
neighborhood and the addition of a greenbelt between the commercial
property and the neighborhood.
1988 - The property was replatted to reflect the greenbelt that was a condition of
the C -3 rezoning.

• 2004 - Lots 1 & 2, Block B, and Lot 2, Block A were rezoned PDD Planned

Mile Drive residents (1987) and the opinions of the current residents.
The following uses were approved with that PDD:
• Animal Care Facilities - Indoor
• Art Studio /Gallery
• Educational Facility, Indoor Instruction
• Mini - Storage Warehouse (with accessory living quarters)
• Offices
• Clinic & Medical Office
• Personal Service Shop
• Printing /Copy Shop
• Radio /TV Station /Studios (no towers)

• 1. Recommend approval of rezoning as submitted;
2. Recommend denial;
3. Table indefinitely; or,
4. Defer action to a specified date.

DATE: February 17, 2006
TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Lindsay Boyer, Staff Planner
THROUGH: Joey Dunn, Director of Planning & Development Services
SUBJECT: UDO Annual Review, Article 7.4, Signage
Item summary: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on an ordinance to
amend the Unified Development Ordinance, Section 7.4, Signs.
Item background: At the request of the Planning and Zoning Commission at the January 19,
2006, meeting, background information was prepared for your review at the February 16, 2006
Workshop. Non - housekeeping items in this section include additional restrictions on political and
non - commercial signs, and provisions for the removal of signs when the associated building is
demolished. Additionally, staff received direction at the December 14, 2005, Joint City
Council /P &Z Commission meeting regarding community spirit signs and signage for
neighborhood groups. Following is a summary of proposed changes by category:
Non - commercial and political signs: Language was added to Section 7.4.Q limiting the
size of non - commercial signage to 50 square feet, clarifying that signs may not be placed
in any public Right of Way, and providing a time limit for political signs. The proposed
changes will allow non - commercial signs related to an event to be placed up to 90 days
prior to the event and require sign removal within 10 days after the event.
Sign removal: Section 7.4.X was amended to require signs to be removed if the
associated building is demolished. A number of sites have redeveloped in the City while
maintaining their grandfathered freestanding sign status by not removing the existing
sign. This provision will require sites that are completely demolished to remove any
freestanding signs. When new signage is installed, it will be required to comply with the
provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance.
•
• Community Spirit Signs: Community spirit signs were originally located in Section
7.4.D as a prohibited sign unless authorized by Council. The new ordinance will locate
these signs under "Exempt Signs" in Section 7.4.E, and allow for on- premise community
spirit signs as well as off - premise.
Signage for neighborhood groups: Provisions have been made in the "Exempt Signs"
Section 7A.E. to allow for signage for neighborhood events. These provisions allow for
temporary signage within the perimeter of a neighborhood for a neighborhood event
sponsored by an association that is registered with the City of College Station
Neighborhood Services. These will be considered unregulated signs, so no permit will be
necessary, however the signs must remain in good repair, and the name of the
association must be featured on the sign so that Code Enforcement may contact the
association or group about any problems with the sign.

The purpose of this Section is to establish clear and unambiguous regulations

pertaining to signs in the City of College Station and to promote an attractive

community, foster traffic safety, and enhance the effective communication and
Deleted: 7.5
exchange of ideas and commercial information.
B. Applicability
Deleted: 7.47.27.47.107.10
The City Council recognizes that signs are necessary for visual communication
Inserted 7.4
for public convenience, and that businesses and other activities have the right to
inserted: 7.10
identify themselves by using signs that are incidental to the use on the premises
Deleted: Signs
where the signs are located. The Council herein seeks to provide a reasonable
- -
balance between the right of a person to identify his or her business or activity
Inserted: 7.4
and the rights of the public to be protected against visual discord and safety
Inserted: 7.2
hazards that result from the unrestricted proliferation, location, and construction
Inserted: Sig
of signs. This Section will insure that signs are compatible with adjacent land
- -- —J
uses and with the total visual environment of the community, in accordance with
the City's Comprehensive Plan.
1. The City Council finds that the rights of residents of this City to fully
exercise their rights of free speech by the use of signs containing non-
commercial messages are subject to minimum regulation regarding
structural safety and setbacks for purposes of traffic protection. The City
Council seeks herein to provide for the reasonably prompt removal and
disposal of such signs after they have served their purpose, and yet to
avoid any interference with First Amendment freedoms, especially as to
persons who are of limited financial means.
2. The City Council finds that instances may occur in the application of this
Section where strict enforcement would deprive a person of the reasonable
use of a sign, or the reasonable utilization of a sign in connection with other
related property rights, and herein provides for such persons to have the
right to seek variances from the requirements of this UDO for good cause.
The City Council finds that it is imperative that enforcement officials apply
this Section as it is written, in the interest of equality and fair and impartial
application to all persons, and that the procedures to appeal a denial of a
sign permit to the ZBA shall remain the sole administrative means to obtain
any exception to the terms hereof.

The Northgate Area is one of the
oldest urban areas within the
City of College Station. The
Northgate Redevelopment Plan,
which is incorporated herein by
reference, describes the
Northgate area as having played
an important role in serving both
the City of College Station and
Texas A &M University and as a
unique "campus neighborhood"
containing local businesses,
churches, and off - campus
housing in close proximity to the
University. Existing
development in the Northgate
area has aged and deteriorated
and, as a result, needs
revitalization and
redevelopment. Therefore, this
zoning district and zoning
regulations have been designed
to aid in revitalization and
redevelopment that is
compatible with and will serve to
preserve the character of the
Northgate area. This zoning
district and concomitant
regulations are only applicable in
this area. 'i
The Northgate District consists of
three Subdistricts; (1) NG -1
Core Northgate, (2) NG -2
Commercial Northgate, and (3)
NG -3 Residential Northgate. 9

Northgate Districts (NG)
The Northgate Area is one of the oldest urban areas within the City of
College Station. The Northgate Redevelopment Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference, describes the Northgate area as
having played an important role in serving both the City of College
Station and Texas A &M University and as a unique "campus
neighborhood" containing local businesses, churches, and off- campus
housing in close proximity to the University. Existing development in
the Northgate area has aged and deteriorated and, as a result, needs
revitalization and redevelopment. Therefore, this zoning district and
zoning regulations have been designed to aid in revitalization and
redevelopment that is compatible with and will serve to preserve the
character of the Northgate area. This zoning district and concomitant
regulations are only applicable in this area.
The Northgate District consists of three Subdistricts; (1) NG -1 Core
Northgate, (2) NG -2 Commercial Northgate, and (3) NG -3 Residential
Northgate.
The following supplemental standards apply to the entire Northgate
District.
Special Restrictions
Parking and traffic studies conducted for the Northgate
Redevelopment Plan reveal that there is a significant deficiency in
• the numbers of available parking spaces and that existing parking
and traffic facilities are sub - standard. Because each particular use
has relatively different parking and traffic impacts, when reviewing
a project the DRB may require additional parking and traffic impact
studies, a review of existing occupancy, and other reasonable
appropriate data to determine the impact of the project. Additional
parking may be required where studies reveal that it is necessary
to relieve or mitigate this impact.
