The Comprehensive Plan serves as a statement of the community's vision for the future and was the culmination of several years of work and a significant financial investment. As a long-range document with an anticipated life span of 20 years, the Comprehensive Plan provides strategic direction to guide the City's physical growth. The Comprehensive Plan calls for an Evaluation and Appraisal Report to be prepared every five years by City staff with input from various City departments, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and other appropriate boards and commissions. The purpose of this Report is to serve as a "check- up" on the Comprehensive Plan by identifying successes and shortcomings of the Plan, considering changing conditions, and recommending appropriate modifications. The Report and its associated appendices provides a review of the basic conditions and assumptions related to College Station's growth. It also evaluates implementation progress related to goals, strategies, and action recommendations. A subcommittee of City Council Members and Planning & Zoning Commissioners met over several months, reviewed the Comprehensive Plan and made recommendations for modification. Mayor Nancy Berry, Councilwoman Blanche Brick, Councilwoman Julie Schultz, P&Z Chairman Bo Miles, P&Z Commissioner Jane Kee, and P&Z Commissioner Jodi Warner served as members of the sub-committee. Public outreach included an on- line survey, a public open house meeting, and a public review of this Report. September 2014 N Vision Statement College Station, the proud home of Texas A&M University and the heart of the Research Valley,will remain a vibrant, forward- thinking, knowledge-based community which promotes the highest quality of life for its citizens by ... • Ensuring safe, tranquil, clean, and healthy neighborhoods with enduring character; • Increasing and maintaining the mobility of College Station citizens through a well-planned and constructed inter-modal transportation system; • Expecting sensitive development and management of the built and natural environment; • Supporting well planned, quality and sustainable growth; • Valuing and protecting our cultural and historical community resources; • Developing and maintaining quality cost-effective community facilities, infrastructure and services which ensure our City is o cohesive and well connected; and, • Pro-actively creating and maintaining economic and educational opportunities for all citizens. Q College Station will continue to be among the friendliest and c most responsive of communities and a demonstrated partner in maintaining and enhancing all that is good and celebrated in the Brazos Valley. It will continue to be a place where Texas and the world come to learn, live, and conduct business! co O O O r 2 September 2014 1 Evaluation & Appraisal Report Economic Development A diversified economy generating quality, stable, full-time jobs; r bolstering the sales and property tax base; and contributing to a high — quality of life. '. Parks Diversity of parks, greenways and the arts for leisure and recreation asWA well as for entertainment, education and culture to achieve a high - - --.- -. -�_ quality of life for all residents and visitors. Mobility Improved mobility through a safe, efficient, and well-connected multi- modal transportation system designed to be sensitive to the surrounding land uses. Municipal Facilities &Community Services Municipal facilities that meet community needs, contribute to community character, are sensitive to the surrounding land uses, and provide exceptional municipal services. Growth Management Ensure fiscally responsible and carefully managed development aligned with growth expectations and in concert with the ability to deliver infrastructure and services in a safe, timely, and effective manner. CHANGING CONDITIONS As a first step in the creation of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, ` the City's Existing Conditions Report (Appendix A) was updated to provide a snapshot of the current conditions that exist in College Station. The Existing Conditions Report, originally created in 2008 and revised in 2010, provides a foundation on which to base future expectations, and includes a description of the following topics: context, demographics, economic development, land use, public facilities, and transportation. The Comprehensive Plan was built on a set of basic conditions and assumptions including City demographics and projected growth rates as indicators of future population and associated land use needs. As a living document, the Comprehensive Plan should respond, as appropriate, to changing conditions. In 2012, the Census Bureau reported College Station's 2010 population (as of April 1, 2010) as 93,857 residents, including University students living within the City limits, which includes Texas A&M's campus. Evaluation & Appraisal Report I September 2014 � 1 S Population projections included in the 2009 Comprehensive Plan ENTERING College Station estimated a 2010 population (end-of-year) of 92,559 residents. CITY LIMIT •.• 93857 Again in 2013, the population projections included in the LEAVING -7 Comprehensive Plan estimated 98,891 residents. City staff's estimated Bryan the 2013 end-of-year population as 99,918 residents, or 1,027 more residents (about 1%). While the increasing numbers may seem insignificant over a one-year time period, the number will increase exponentially over the 20-year life of the Comprehensive Plan. The rate at which growth and development is occurring is slightly faster relative to the projections put forward in the Plan. Changing assumptions that may continue to lead to increased population growth include: • Texas A&M University's 50,000 student enrollment cap no longer exists; in fact, 53,786 students were enrolled in the Fall of 2013. • Fall of 2013 saw an increase of 4% in new enrollment - this number has historically been closer to 1%. While the increased enrollment for 2013 may have been an anomaly, the University has seen several changes that may continue to contribute to higher enrollment growth rates, including its move into the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the College of Engineering's 25 by 25 Plan, which strives to increase the College's enrollment to 25,000 students by the year 2025 - more than doubling its current enrollment. • Blinn College is currently looking to locate a second campus in the Brazos Valley, with College Station as a possible location. Depending on Blinn's ultimate location, College Station could experience slightly faster population growth as it absorbs additional college-aged students into the City. • College Station Independent School District (CSISD) saw 5.5% growth in student enrollment in the Fall of 2013. Other changes have occurred over the past five years potentially altering the character of areas of College Station, including the following: • A significant decrease in the percentage of the total platted lots being developed in the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). During 2000-2010, 18% of all platted lots were developed in the ETJ. During 2010-2013, only 7.5% of all lots were developed in the ETJ. • Wellborn area annexation (approximately 649 acres), extending the area of the City from approximately 49 square miles to approximately 51 square miles. September 2014 1 Evaluation & Appraisal Report • Increase in density of developments in the Northgate area. PLAN SUCCESSES & AMENDMENTS IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS Neighborhood, District, & Corridor Planning 1 The Neighborhood, District, & Corridor Planning program, called for in the Comprehensive Plan, produced several plans intended to serve as action plans for specific areas that focus on the particular needs identified by those that live and own property in those areas.

Box 9960 1101 Texas Avenue College Station,Texas 77842 Phone 979.764.3570 / Fax 979.764.3496 MEMORANDUM February 19,2015 TO: Members of the Planning&Zoning Commission FROM: Molly Hitchcock,Assistant Director,P&DS SUBJECT: BioCorridor Board appointments Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on recommended appointments of Planning &Zoning Commission members to the BioCorridor Board. Summary:The adoption of the BioCorridor Planned Development District on 147 acres in College Station became complete after the City of Bryan granted an identical rezoning ordinance for the 50 adjacent acres in Bryan in October 2012. The zoning and development ordinance for the BioCorridor established a BioCorridor Board as a body of representatives from the cities and the Texas A&M University System that would be able to make subjective decisions regarding specific requests in the area (see attachment for list of powers and duties). The ordinance calls for the City Council to appoint three representatives from the City of College Station to the Board. Membership requires that: • One be a member of City Council and • Two be members of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Past Chairman Bo Miles and past Commissioner Vergel Gay were previously appointed to the Board and Commissioner Jodi Warner was designated as an alternate. Terms are for two years, or until a member is no longer serving on the Commission or City Council. As the Woodbolt/Nutravita facility developed within the PDD parameters, and the CIADM development has not been subject to zoning regulations, the Board has had no formal requests to date to meet upon in an official capacity.
