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 boundaries from M-1 Light Industrial to CI Commercial Industrial on approximately 11 acres located in the University Industrial
Center, more generally located at 151 Graham Road.
Administrator Macias presented the rezoning to the Commission recommending approval.
Joe Schultz, Applicant, Schultz Engineering, was available for questions from the
Commission. Commissioner Shafer asked if the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district is retired.
Administrator Macias confirmed that the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district is a retired
district. Commissioner Shafer asked for the uses allowed in, or the difference in uses allowed in a CI Commercial Industrial zoning district.
Administrator Macias confirmed that uses allowed in a CI Commercial Industrial zoning district include animal care facilities, commercial gardens or greenhouses, health clubs, offices, and retail sales and service which would not be allowed in the current M-1 Light Industrial zoning district. Ms. Macias also clarified that the CI Commercial Industrial
would allow for commercial uses, whereas commercial uses are not allowed in the current
M-1 Light Industrial zoning district. Commissioner Collins stated that the Villas of Rock Prairie are within a close proximity to this development, asking if there are any permitted uses under the CI Commercial
Industrial zoning district that may be detrimental to the retirement community.
Administrator Macias clarified that there would be no disruptive uses, however the developer must provide buffer requirements against the multi-family development, dependent on use.
Chairperson McIlhaney opened the public hearing. No visitors spoke. Chairperson McIlhaney closed the public hearing.

September 5, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 7
Commissioner Cornelius moved to recommend approval the rezoning, Commissioner Shafer seconded the motion.
Commissioner Collins asked if a CI Commercial Industrial zoning district is a good middle ground between multi-family uses and heavy industrial uses. Administrator Macias clarified that this area is designated as Business Center on the
Comprehensive Plan and does fit within the current surrounding uses. The motion passed 5-0. 5.2 Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding waiver requests to the Unified
Development Ordinance Section 8.3.G.2 ‘Blocks’ and presentation, discussion, and
possible action regarding a Preliminary Plan for Southern Pointe Subdivision on approximately 553 acres of land, generally located north of Peach Creek Cut-Off Road and east of State Highway 6 in the City’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Senior Planner DiMeolo presented the waiver requests and preliminary plan to the
Commission recommending denial explaining that if the waivers are denied, the preliminary plan must also be denied. Joe Schultz, Applicant, Schultz Engineering, was available to address and answer questions
from the Commission regarding the waiver requests.
Wallace Phillips, Developer, was available to address and answer questions from the
Commission regarding the waiver requests. Commissioner Cornelius asked for drawings with the old detention pond showing the difference in changes, and asked if there is major detriment to not having additional
access.
Senior Planner DiMeolo clarified that the front of the development contains 6,000 feet of perimeter with one connection point, clarifying that the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) allows a maximum of 1,200 feet in block length.
Commissioner Cornelius asked how this affects emergency access to the subdivision. Senior Planner DiMeolo stated that this will create fewer points of access.
Commissioner Cornelius asked for clarification that most access would be inside the
property not affecting the collectors outside the development. Senior Planner DiMeolo confirmed that most access is within the development.
Page 6 of 79
September 5, 2024 Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 7
Commissioner Collins asked if the applicant has any arguments for granting the waivers that meet any of the waiver review criteria.
Senior Planner DiMeolo clarified that staff feels the applicant may meet waiver review criteria number two, “The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant”, however staff feels that their concerns stem from the applicant not meeting waiver criteria number four, “The granting of the waiver
will not have the effect of preventing the orderly subdivision of other land in the area in
accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance”. Commissioner Collins asked if the applicant meets special circumstances.
Mr. Schultz clarified that the applicant feels that not granting one of the waivers would
require a substantial drainage structure, more maintenance, and more street to maintain. Commissioner Shafer asked about the animate habitat property adjacent to this development, asking if there are concerns with the lack of connectivity with their platting.
Mr. Schultz stated that there would be a collector street running across the same boundary, creating connectivity. The Thoroughfare Plan is being met with this preliminary plan. Chairperson McIlhaney opened a public hearing. Jodi Warner, Pebble Creek, College Station, expressed concerns for eliminating single-
family lots to create street stubs, stating that single-family homes are needed in College
Station. Chairperson McIlhaney closed the public hearing. Commissioner Cornelius asked how many homes the developer would lose if the waiver requests were denied.
Mr. Schultz confirmed that about three homes would be lost at each location. Chairperson McIlhaney asked for the total number of lots within the subdivision.
Mr. Shultz confirmed there are about 2,100 total lots.
Commissioner Cornelius moved to recommend approval of the waiver requests and preliminary plan as presented, Commissioner Shafer seconded the motion. Commissioner Shafer expressed support for allowing development to move forward.
Commissioner Collins expressed opposition that the waiver requests do not meet the
criteria.

The motion passed 4-1 with Commissioner Collins voting in the negative.
5.3 Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding ordinance
amending the College Station Comprehensive Plan by adopting a new Housing Action Plan. Analyst Brower presented the item to the Commission recommending approval.
Commissioner Shafer commented on the email received from a committee member regarding accessory dwelling units within owner occupied homes, asking if there was any way to define that information in the report.
Analyst Brower stated that Goal 2 is to allow redevelopment and to increase density
through rezonings and making possible UDO changes, those two actions are caveated with “should not occur in Neighborhood Preservation areas”. Chairperson McIlhaney clarified that that cannot be accomplished within the current
UDO.
Director Armstrong clarified that the current ordinance states that a property must be owner occupied to rent an accessory dwelling unit to no more than two, further clarifying that in theory could be reversed with the owner living in the accessory dwelling unit
and renting the main home. Mr. Armstrong clarified that the scenario mentioned in the
committee member email of a four and four to have eight total occupants, would not be allowed under the current UDO. Chairperson McIlhaney opened the public hearing. No visitors spoke.
Chairperson McIlhaney closed the public hearing. Commissioner Cornelis expressed support for the plan.

Project Overview This preliminary plan is for a development consisting of
single-family residential development located in the extra-
territorial jurisdiction. Waivers are being requested for
street projections, cul-de-sac lengths, lot width, and block
length. The preliminary plan layout shows five roadways
(70’ R.O.W) to be provided and connecting to the existing
Wild Rose Drive and Prairie Dawn Trail.
Several roadways terminate as cul-de-sacs with a
temporary turn-around to the adjacent areas towards the
edge of the proposed development.
Several waivers are requested to amend subdivision
standards found in UDO Section 8.4. In all, five subdivision
regulation waivers are being requested to develop the
single-family residential community.
Parkland Dedication Parkland dedication fees will be paid prior to recording of
the final plat at a rate of $4,205 per dwelling unit.
Traffic Impact Analysis A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not required.
Compliant with Comprehensive Plan
(including Master Plans) and Unified
Development Ordinance
The preliminary plan is compliant with the Comprehensive
Plan Future Land Use and Character Map, however this
property is located outside of the City limits in the extra-
territorial jurisdiction where the City has no land use
authority.
Compliant with Subdivision Regulations Yes, with the exception of waiver requests. The waivers are
related to street requirements regarding street projection
(Section 8.4.C.3.a.), cul-de-sac (Section 8.4.C.7.), lot width

SUBDIVISION WAIVER 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 8.4.C.3.a. ‘Street Projections’ -Per the requirements this section,
where abutting properties are not platted, a street connection shall be provided through
the platting property to such areas. As indicated in the attached waiver request, the first
waiver request is to not provide a street connection through the adjacent property to
the north, which have not been platted and is actually right-of-way for Union Pacific
adjacent to FM 2154. Per Section 8.4.C.3. indicates when the adjacent areas are not
platted, the platting subdivision shall provide street projections to such areas. Section
8.4.C.2.a. also indicates that where there is an existing street adjacent to the platting
subdivision, necessary street intersections shall be constructed. Since the adjacent
property is right-of-way, a street and intersection would need to be provided to allow for
future connection as well as to assist with meeting the block length requirements. As
stated by the applicant, this area includes a double section of railroad tracks and street
crossings are not permitted.
Page 13 of 79
UDO Section 8.4.C.7. ‘Cul-de-sac’ -Per the requirements of this section, cul-de-sacs
are to be no greater than 750’ in length. As indicated below, the second waiver request
is for one of the proposed streets which ends in a cul-de-sac within the subdivision. As
indicated by the applicant, the Charro Court cul-de-sac is shown to be measured
as763’.
The applicant has stated there is a pipeline and waterline diagonally across the tract.
The applicant has also that the “added length on the cul-de-sac allows us to get the
frontage on the lots along this cul-de-sac needed to meet the lot width requirements”.
Page 14 of 79
UDO Section 8.4.E.1. ‘Blocks’ -Per the requirements of this section, block length shall
not exceed 1,500’. As indicated in the graphic provided, the block lengths on
Comanchero Trail and Prairie Dawn are 6,330’ (shown in blue below) on one side and
7,946’ (shown in pink below) on the other.
The applicant states that due to the special circumstances with the Union Pacific
Railway to the north, as well as the already developed subdivision to the south, the
extension of a street cannot be provided. While the adjacent properties are large and
some are already developed, this subdivision is proposing to include streets to provide
extensions of Prairie Dawn Trail and Wild Rose Drive. Per Section 8.4.E.1, a public
street network is to ensure uniform access and circulation.
Page 15 of 79
UDO Section 8.4.F.3. ‘Lots’ -Per the requirements of this section, lots shall be at least
100’ in width as measured at the street, except for lots around the bulb of a cul-de-sac
shall be at least 75’ in width. Lot 18, Block 3 measures 91.27 feet in width and does not
meet the minimum standards:. .
The applicant states that due to the angles created by the existing utilities, it is difficult
to meet the 100’ width and the 1 acre requirement. The applicant also states that the
lot is 101.21’ wide at the setback line.. While this is not how lots are measured in the
ETJ, it is where lot width is measured within the City limits.
Page 16 of 79
The applicant is requesting these five (5) waivers as their intention is to provide a new
subdivision for a single-family residential community. The applicant states that granting
the waivers will not affect the subdivision of the adjacent property because the adjacent
properties are developed and they are projecting a street to the un-platted adjacent
property.
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;
As this property is located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction, the right-of-way is being
dedicated to Brazos County in order to meet the street standards for the rural residential
street section. The applicant is proposing no street projection to the railroad right-of-way, a
modified cul-de-sac length, two longer block lengths, and a reduced lot widthThe property
is part of a larger property that is bound on two sides by already platted properties and
railroad right-of-way to the north. Also, there several existing easements within the subject
property that are impacting the layout of the subdivision. All lots are meeting the minimum
dimension requirement for lots within the ETJ, with the exception of Lot 18, Block 3. Some
lots are being larger than others in order to contain detention ponds. The Brazos County
Road & Bridge Department has reviewed the Preliminary Plan as well and did not have
any objection to the configuration of the subdivision.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant;
If the waivers are not granted, the subject property can still be subdivided. The property is
over 96 acres in size and the minimum lot size for a single-family dwelling in the ETJ is
one acre. While the subdivision is proposed to include 70 lots, it may be reconfigured to
still meet the requirements of the Unified Development Ordinance. However, the applicant
has stated the due to the special circumstances of the adjacent Union Pacific right-of-way
already developed subdivisions, and pipeline/waterlines on the property, the waivers are
necessary for the development to continue as planned.
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 these waivers would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare of other properties in the area as this development will comply with all other
standards and requirements found in the subdivision standards of the Unified Development
Ordinance as they apply to properties in the extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Page 17 of 79
The applicant has stated that the development will comply with all other standards or
requirements.
Turn-arounds are being provided to allow for the development to be built out in three
phases. Also, while the lot width of one particular lot is narrower than the requirement, it is
less than 10% off of the minimum and the applicant has noted that the width at the 25’
setback line would meet minimum requirements if the property were located within the City
limits.
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.
These waivers will not have a negative effect on the orderly subdivision of land in the area.
The right-of-way for the streets is being provided in order connect to existing subdivisions
as well as to provide for future connection to adjacent, un-platted properties to the west of
the subject property. With the exception of the waivers, they will be meeting the
requirements of the rural residential street section.
If the Commission approves any or all of the waivers, the Commission shall incorporate the
findings of each waiver into the official minutes of the meetings at which such waiver is
granted. If any of the waivers are denied, then the preliminary plan is also denied. For this
preliminary plan to be approved as proposed, all waivers need to be accepted. Waivers
may be granted only when in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this UDO so
that public health, safety, and welfare may be secured and substantial justice done.
Staff is recommending approval of the waiver requests.

Waiver to Article 8.3.C.7 Cul-de-sac
Justification for Waiver 2 – Charro Court Cul-de-sac:
The requested waiver is for Cul-De-Sac Lenth for Charro Court, which is 763 feet in length
which exceeds the maximum length of 750 feet.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land.
The special circumstances are the pipeline and Wellborn SUD waterline
routing diagonally across the tract. The added length on the cul-de-sac allows
us to get the frontage on the lots along this cul-de-sac needed to meet the lot
width requirements. Complying with the cul-de-sac would not be the highest
and best use for the land.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant.
Granting this waiver will allow the development to the highest potential of the
property. The proposed cul-de-sac length only exceeds the maximum length by
1.73%.
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
subdivision regulations.
The granting of the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property as the
development will comply with all other standards or requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
The granting of the waiver will not affect the subdivision of the adjacent
property as it is already developed.

Waiver to Article 8.4.E.1 Block Length
Justification for Waiver 3 – Block Length Comanchero Trail and Prairie Dawn Trail Block
1:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH, Comanchero Trail Block 1, which is 6,330
feet in length which exceeds the maximum block length of 1,500’. This block length is
located on the north side of Comanchero Trail and the south side of Prairie Dawn Trail.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land.
The special circumstances are the Union Pacific Railroad Right of way to the
north prohibits an extension of a street in this direction to break the block. This
section of the railroad is a double line section and street crossings are
prohibited.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant.
Granting this waiver will allow the development to continue as planned. A street
projection in this direction would not connect through to FM 2154.
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
subdivision regulations.
The granting of the waivers for this development will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property as the
development will comply with all other standards or requirements.
4. The granting of the waiver will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the previsions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.

Justification for Waiver 4 – Block Length Comanchero Trail and Prairie Dawn Trail Block
3:
The requested waiver is for BLOCK LENGTH, Comanchero Trail Block 3, which is 7,946
feet in length which exceeds the maximum block length of 1,500’. This block length is
located on the south side of Comanchero Trail and the north side of Prairie Dawn Trail.
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land.
The special circumstances are tract to the south is a developed subdivision and
an additional street would just add public Right-of-way that would increase
maintenance costs on the County when the roads are accepted. Block lengths
exceeding 1500’ in rural acreage subdivisions in Brazos County is a common
occurrence.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant.
Granting this waiver will allow the development to continue as planned. The
Brazos County Road & Bridge Department has approved the plan without the
addition of a street to break the block length.
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
subdivision regulations.

which does not meet the minimum width of 100’, measured at the street Right-of way. This
lot is located along Charro Court
1. There are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such that
strict application of the subdivision regulations will deprive the applicant of the
reasonable use of his land.
The special circumstances are the pipeline and Wellborn SUD waterline
routing diagonally across the tract. The angles created by these utilities make it
difficult to meet the 100’ width and the 1 acre minimum in this area. Complying
with the lot width would not be the highest and best use for the land.
2. The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
right of the applicant.
Granting this waiver will allow the development to continue as planned. The
Brazos County Road & Bridge Department has approved the plan with the
current layout. The lot width requirement is different for lots with in the ETJ.
Lots within the City Limits the width is measured at the front setback vs
measured at the Right-of-way in the ETJ. This lot has a width of 101.21’ if
measured at the front setback line.
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

Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption: Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding the September 2024
Small Area Plan Audit.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
Good Governance
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends acceptance of the Small Area Plan Audit.
Summary: City staff will present the September 2024 Small Area Plan Audit that includes findings
from the audit process, infrastructure maps, and implementation charts for each plan. This audit
evaluated the following Small Area Plans:
• The Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Study (1987)
o Master Plan Updates (1998 & 2005)
o Strategic Issues and Action Plan (1998)
• The Northgate Redevelopment Plan (1996)
o Redevelopment Implementation Plan (2003)
• The Medical District Master Plan (2012)
o Implementation Plan (2012)
The City of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan requires the evaluation of all small area plans that
have surpassed their planning horizons. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the status of
each plan’s implementation, associated successes and challenges, and recommendations for each
plan’s retirement or update (Comprehensive Plan Action 3.8). This audit is a continuation of the
process started in 2022, where staff audited five small area plans that had reached or surpassed
their planning horizons.
With the acceptance of the audit’s findings, staff will bring forward amendments to the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO), the Comprehensive Plan, and any other impacted ordinances in
order to officially retire the audited plans.

Introduction
This audit evaluates three of the City of College
Station’s small area plans and identifies the
successes and shortcomings of those plans
and their implementation. It is a continuation
of the process started in 2022, where staff
audited five small area plans that had reached
or surpassed their planning horizons.
This audit evaluates the following Small Area
Plans:
THE WOLF PEN CREEK CORRIDOR STUDY (1987)
• Master Plan Updates (1998 & 2005)
• Strategic Issues and Action Plan (1998)
THE NORTHGATE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (1996)
• Redevelopment Implementation
Plan (2003)
THE MEDICAL DISTRICT MASTER PLAN (2012)
• Implementation Report (2012)
The City of College Station’s Comprehensive
Plan requires the evaluation of all small area
plans that have surpassed their planning
horizons. The purpose of the evaluation
is to determine the status of each plan’s
implementation, associated successes and
challenges, and recommendations for each
plan’s retirement or update.
Page 36 of 79
Small Area Plan Overview
Small area plans allow for a closer look into the existing conditions, trends, and
development pressures within a specific area of the City. Over the years, the City
of College Station has adopted several small area plans which fall under four main
categories – Neighborhood Plans, District Plans, Redevelopment Plans, and Corridor
Plans.
During the Comprehensive Plan’s 10-year evaluation process in 2020, the need for
small area plan audits was identified through rigorous stakeholder engagement and
plan analysis. The discussions with the public, Planning & Zoning Commission, and City
Council led to the development of action item 3.8 in the Comprehensive Plan. This
item states that the City should “evaluate relevancy of neighborhood and small area
plans that are beyond their planning horizon [and] develop a process to either retire or
update plans.”
In 2022, the City completed its first small area plan audit. Staff conducted research
on peer city audit methods, established an auditing process, and completed the
evaluation of five small area plans. Lessons learned from the initial auditing process
resulted in four key recommendations for future small area planning efforts:
1) Develop a clear implementation tracking strategy early in the plan
creation process that ideally includes plan action tracking software to
support collaboration across City departments;
2) Distinguish between actions that are the responsibility of the City
to implement and those that will be neighborhood-led;
3) Develop specific and quantifiable actions that lead to measurable
outcomes; and
4) Set clear planning horizons with sunset provisions that expire plans
after a certain date.
Because the plans in this audit were created before the City incorporated a
standardized system of implementation tracking, some information regarding the plans
has been lost. Additionally, none of the audited plans had an established retirement
date, making their planning horizons unclear. Future audits will not present the same
challenges. Moving forward, plans will have established retirement dates upon
adoption and will be monitored using implementation tracking software.

Wolf Pen Creek
The Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Study was adopted by the City Council on October
26, 1988. The planning area was made up of approximately 500 acres located on the
east side of College Station and was bounded by Harvey Road, Texas Avenue, East
Bypass, and Southwest Parkway. The intention of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Study
was to maximize the area’s use before further development occurred. It presented
ways to preserve the creek’s natural beauty and functionality while encouraging public
and private recreation. The study contained concept maps outlining the overall vision
for the district, specific development guidelines, and strategies for utilizing Wolf Pen
Creek’s floodplain. The Master Plan Updates from 1998 and 2005 provided additional
guidance for implementing the vision of the district.
Northgate
The Northgate Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Council on January 11,
1996. The planning area was made up of approximately 145 acres and was located on
the northwest side of College Station, bordered by Texas A&M University property
and the City of Bryan. It was bounded by Wellborn Road – FM 2514, University Drive
– FM 60, College Avenue – SH 308, and Bryan city limits. The City adopted the Plan
to revitalize the Northgate area and address the need for increased density near the
university. The major goals of the plan included updating utility and transportation
infrastructure to accommodate growth, creating an appealing and cohesive design
for the area, and encouraging infill and economic activity. The Redevelopment
Implementation Plan (2003) incorporated the progress made towards the original Plan’s
goals and provided additional direction for the area’s improvement.
Medical District
The Medical District Master Plan was adopted by the City Council on October 11, 2012.
The planning area was made up of approximately 1,700 acres in central College Station
and generally located around the intersection of State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie
Road. The Medical District Master Plan was created as a strategic initiative to enhance
the quality of life for residents, support economic diversity, and create a vibrant, health-
focused community. It included design guidelines to encourage a sense of place and
prioritized pedestrian mobility. The accompanying Implementation Report provided
details regarding potential development regulations and standards, management
structure, funding mechanisms, and capital expenditures.
Page 38 of 79
Methods
The methods used for the Small Area Plan Audit are qualitative in nature, primarily
utilizing content analysis, interviews with City staff, and reviewing other relevant records
pertaining to the implementation of the plans. For this audit, staff reviewed the original
plans and accompanying documents, cataloged every action item contained within the
plans, and collaborated with multiple City departments to determine the status of each
item.
While this audit used the process established in 2022, clarified definitions of each
status were developed for audit consistency (see Status Definitions Table). The statuses
include: Achieved, Partially Achieved, Not Achieved, Not Pursued, and Unknown. The
data was then analyzed and summarized to understand the overall results of each plan’s
implementation.
STATUS DEFINITIONS
ACHIEVED: The action item was fully achieved as described.
PARTIALLY ACHIEVED: The action item was pursued and resulted in an outcome/
deliverable that may differ from the original description.
NOT ACHIEVED:The action item was pursued but did not result in an
outcome/deliverable.
NOT PURSUED: The action item was not pursued.
UNKNOWN: The status of the action item is not known.

Next Steps
With the acceptance of the audit’s findings, the plans will be retired. Staff will
bring forward amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), the
Comprehensive Plan, and any other impacted ordinances to remove references to the
audited plans.
Currently, there are no scheduled updates for the Northgate District or the Medical
District; however, there are two upcoming planning efforts related to the Wolf Pen
Creek District.
In FY 2025, the City’s Parks & Recreation Department staff will develop a Master Plan
for the Wolf Pen Creek Park. In addition, in FY 2026 Planning & Development staff will
initiate the Harvey Road Redevelopment Area planning process. The redevelopment
plan will make recommendations to revitalize this area that has a number of
underperforming commercial properties and older multifamily structures.
This planning process presents the opportunity to explore increased density through
the use of vertical and horizontal mixed-use developments, which could compliment
the adjacent Wolf Pen Creek District.
Future small area planning efforts may be identified during the 2025 Comprehensive
Plan 5-Year Update. City staff will utilize this process to gather feedback from
elected officials, community stakeholders, and the public to help identify areas in the
community for targeted study.

transmission mains.Achieved Water Services
The lines that were undersized in 1996 have since been upsized to 8” or greater
where they are needed. If the Northgate park is ever converted into a dense
development, there is one 2” line along Boyett Street between Cherry Street
