6. Hear Visitors Comments.
Neo Jang of College Station thanked the City Council, staff, and consultants for adopting the K-12
LTS policy addendum to the Active Transportation Master Plan. The addendum codifies that a school
route must be safe enough for a child to navigate independently and prioritizes creative solutions and
safety over vehicle -focused planning. He believes the cycling community's support shown tonight at
the proclamation shows a readiness for change.
Charles Barr of College Station addressed the City Council about a proactive plan to enhance Code
and Law Enforcement in College Station. He stated that requiring the law be posted in each rental
would ease enforcement, clarify violations (such as parking, noise, fireworks), lessen reporting for
residents, prevent issues before they arise, and reduce minor police calls. This solution is low-cost,
addresses the "I didn't know" excuse, and can be integrated with rental registration and inspections.
Nakyshia Guyton of College Station came before council to highlight what she calls over -policing in
McCullough Subdivision. She believes that there are discriminatory policies at work which have an
impact on the safety and anxiety of community members while promoting gentrification. She requests
accountability in policing, action on racial disparities, inclusive development, and meaningful change
for dignity, fairness, and belonging.
Tre Watson of College Station raised concerns about persistent inequities, citing over -policing at local
events and historic restrictions that kept black residents confined to under-resourced neighborhoods.
He criticized decisions like those around Pebble Creek Parkway, arguing that allowing that community
to reject bearing the greater needs of the city and putting the burden on other areas is unfair. He
believes the city should be allocating CDBG funds to build up infrastructure in areas being gentrified
to support long-term residents and called upon council to recognize the inequity.
7. CONSENT ITEMS
Presentation. discussion, and possible action on consent items which consist of ministerial. or
"housekeeping" items as allowed by law: A Councilmember may reauest additional information
at this time. Anv Councilmember may remove an item from the Consent Agenda for a separate
vote.
Consent Item 7.4 was pulled for discussion and a separate vote.
Item (7.5) and (7.6) were pulled for clarification.
(7.5) Brett Cast, Assistant Director Capital Projects and Anthony Armstrong, Planning and
Development Director, clarified that envelope specialists inspect city facilities for water infiltration,
not private residences. Residential inspections are managed by Planning and Development, primarily
for new builds. The city currently has five building inspectors, and staffing meets demand. Home
inspections are handled separately by the private market and are unrelated to this process. City -
required inspections are performed according to the International Building Code.
CCM 042326 Minutes Page 3
(7.6) Jennifer Cain, Capital Projects Director, explained that staff coordinated with various
departments —including water, public works, traffic, planning, and design —to develop access options
to the site. Currently, vehicles cannot reach the back of the property; access for pedestrians is possible
unless a roadway extension is planned by the P3 partner. The U-shaped layout connects public
infrastructure (water, sewer, and roads) to the property line, where private development for baseball
fields will begin. The developer will extend infrastructure within their area, which isn't shown on the
preliminary map.

Billy Couch, Police Chief, stated that item is for a grant whose funding will support current system
installations of the Flock camera monitoring system. He stated that the department has used license
plate readers, some of which are Flock, since 2015 without misuse and follow strict accountability
policies. These technologies, including the new Flock cameras, are effective in reducing crime and are
now being installed in the city.
Keith Rogers of College Station addressed the City Council opposing Flock cameras due to privacy
and 4th amendment concerns. He argued these cameras mainly benefit a private company and cited
an Electronic Frontier Foundation report on security risks and abuses, constant monitoring without
opt -out options, past misuse for harassment and spying, and noted public and national security risks
from accessible sensitive footage.
Vikram Balaji of College Station spoke to the City Council against partnering with Flock, saying it
risks citizens' privacy by handing surveillance data to a private company. He raised concerns about
losing local control of data, data security, potential misuse of the taxpayer funded surveillance system,
and questioned if Flock would ensure strong encryption or be able to uphold its responsibilities if the
company dissolves or changes hands.
James Sun of College Station spoke to City Council against Flock cameras and item 7.4, which would
cost $370,452 on the system. He stated that the cameras track vehicles without warrants, threaten
privacy, and residents can't opt out or are unaware of the information being gathered. Sun cited misuse
in other cities, questioned Al camera effectiveness, and urged more community input.
John Hamilton urged the City Council to reject Flock cameras, citing security gaps and privacy issues.
He stated that researcher John Gainsik exposed 51 vulnerabilities in these systems which are now used
locally. Flock technology previously mistakenly flagged a minivan as stolen, resulting in a costly
settlement, also police have misused the system and Flock admitted to undisclosed federal
CCM 042326 Minutes Page 4

rehabilitation projects incorporated. Additionally, the department continues to update the public
regarding locations and progress of street maintenance and repaving efforts, especially in the
McCullough neighborhood and Holleman area.
8.2. Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a State of the Citv Event.
Bryan Woods, City Manager, initiated a discussion among the City Council regarding the
establishment of a State of the City event.
CCM 042326 Minutes Page 6
Councilmembers Wright explained that he requested this item based a presentation given at a Texas
Municipal League conference of a State of the City event held in Georgetown. He would like to see
our city use that approach, with the objective of enhancing public engagement through opportunities
for citizens to interact with city departments and leadership. The Georgetown approach was
characterized as an open house, with each city departments hosting tables to facilitate citizen
interaction, culminating in a mayoral address summarizing accomplishments and outlining future
priorities, all aimed at promoting engagement and transparency. The Council clarified that the event's
focus should remain strictly on policy and public engagement rather than politics.
Majority of the Council directed staff to research and present options for the State of the City event
and include possible format, timing, and logistics, including case studies from other communities, as
a future workshop item for Council review and direction.
9. REGULAR ITEMS
9.1. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2026-
4674 amending Appendix A. Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4, "Zoning Districts",
Section 4.2 "Official Zoning Map", of the Code of Ordinances of the Citv of College Station,
Texas, by changing the zoning district boundaries from R Rural to RS Restricted Suburban, for
approximately 222 acres, generally located on Greens Prairie Road, east of the intersection of
Greens Prairie Road and W.S. Phillips Parkway.
Robin Macias from Planning and Development presented a rezoning proposal for approximately 222
acres along Greens Prairie Road, from rural to restricted suburban classification. The tract proposed
to be rezoned consists of unplatted property and is currently undeveloped with the intent of the
rezoning to build a residential subdivision consisting of approximately 886 lots. After accounting for
infrastructure, greenspace and other requirements there would be approximately 575 to 650 lots
available to the builder.
A previous request to rezone the subject property from R Rural to GS General Suburban was heard at
the November 13, 2025 City Council meeting, where the request was denied. At the direction of
Council, the proposed zoning to RS would reduce the maximum density from the previously requested
8 dwelling units per acre to 4 dwelling units per acre. A zoning of GS restricts density and mandates
larger lot sizes, effectively addressing prior concerns about excessive density. Staff clarified that
development would be capped at roughly 200 lots until completion of the Alum Creek Trunk Line,
which is currently financed and in the design phase, with completion anticipated by fall 2027.
The applicant and developer presented Council with a letter committed to implementing deed
restrictions to limit institutional ownership to no more than 10% of the total platted residential lots
within the Subdivision at any one time for rental purposes.

Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request. This item was heard at the April 2, 2026 Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting where it was recommended for approval (6-0).
At approximately 9:06 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearing.
Bentley Nettles of College Station urged the City Council warned that subdivision traffic could
overwhelm county roads like Sweetwater Drive and Woodlake Drive, which aren't built for heavy use.
He recommended addressing mobility and drainage issues before zoning decisions to ensure safe
infrastructure planning.
Dolores Kmiecik-Graham addressed the City Council about Horton's rezoning plan and suggested
deed restrictions to protect Greens Prairie Reserve's family -friendly atmosphere, citing concerns about
investors and rentals. She criticized traffic study for being limited in scope and conducted during a
low -traffic period, requesting a delay until a comprehensive study during school months is completed.
Tom Walker of College Station raised concerns before the City Council about student housing
replacing family homes, stating there is a current shortfall of 5,000 houses needed for families. He
called for action to maintain family neighborhoods and pointed out problems of gentrification and
pricing, claiming a tenfold increase in land costs over twelve years.
James J. Hagan of College Station presented signatures against rezoning the Windham tract,
mentioning nearly 400 opposing signers. He asked officials to reject or delay rezoning due to concerns
about build -to -rent impacts, traffic near a crowded school, and community ownership.
Randal Fullhart spoke to the City Council urging policies that favor family home ownership over
commercial rentals or student housing, arguing it strengthens communities and benefits schools and
businesses. He called for deed restrictions, HOA agreements, and developer commitments to keep
neighborhoods inclusive, recommending caution when considering rezoning for build -to -rent options.
Chuck Kleckley of College Station spoke to the City Council about his extensive search for the right
home, which led them to invest in Greens Prairie Reserve due to its thoughtful design and quality
construction. While they appreciate the community and amenities, they are concerned the proposed
development could negatively affect property values but acknowledged inevitable growth while
urging Council delay approval until deed restrictions are clarified.
CCM 042326 Minutes Page 8
Kartik Jha of College Station asked the City Council to request the applicant to formalize their promise
not to build a rental community on the rezoned property using a deed restriction or similar document.
He stated that this documentation would show sincerity on the part of DR Horton and requested the
Council reject the rezoning unless restrictions are added.
Martha Vilas of Bryan and Ranger Home Builders sales team members addressed the City Council to
support South College Station's community standards. She noted that buyers value neighborhood
character and trust local builders, which drives sustainable growth but expressed concern about the
proposed developments incompatibility with the area's vision and standards. Ms. Vilas urged the
Council to reject the rezoning and uphold high building standards aligned with long-term goals.
Karen Gregory of College Station believes there should be restrictions to protect neighborhood
integrity and opposes this rezoning due to concerns about drainage, traffic, and sewer capacity. She
also urges the Council to reject the thoroughfare plan and keep Oldham Oaks Ave. a dead end.
Austin Pittman of College Station spoke to the City Council about incomplete traffic studies related
to Greens Prairie Reserve and future road connections affecting neighborhoods. He criticized the
applicant for not amending plans or conducting necessary analyses on traffic and urged the Council to
postpone the rezoning until thorough traffic reviews and clearer commitments are made, stressing
accountability and compromise for current residents.
Valen Cepak of College Station urged the City Council to approve the rezoning and support new home
construction in College Station. He highlighted that new homes could lower costs and help families
like teachers, nurses, and first responders settle and build equity that current area residents already
enjoy.
Jacob Carmical, representing Hunter Goodwin of College Station, emphasized support for housing,
but not at the expense of community integrity, noting that zoning decisions are permanent. He cited
data showing College Station has 64.6% renter -occupied and 35.4% owner -occupied units, which is
the reverse of Texas averages. He expressed concern about build -to -rent communities, stating they
don't meet local needs and urged careful consideration.

Mayor Nichols recessed the meeting at 9:06 p.m.
The meeting resumed at 9:16 p.m.
