MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning &Zoning Commission
FROM: Lance Simms, Director of Planning & Development Services
DATE: 2 July 2015
SUBJECT: Update on the Implementation of the Mueller Report
Item
Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an update on the implementation of the
organizational review report prepared by Alan Mueller, consultant.
Background
In 2013, the City Manager's office retained Marsh Darcy Partners to perform an organizational
review of the Planning and Development Services (P&DS) Department. The purpose of the review
was directed toward identifying and assessing the validity of internal and external perceptions
related to the performance of the department. The review centered on three primary functions:
• Evaluate departmental policies, procedures, and attitudes as they pertain to customer
interactions and service delivery quality.
• Evaluate the perceptions of the City Council, Planning Commission, and departmental
customers (external stakeholders) regarding the performance of the department.
• Identify opportunities for improvement based on aligning the performance of the
department with the needs and perceptions of the external stake holders.
The organizational review was conducted during April and May of 2013. The primary data
gathering method was a series of interviews utilizing structured questions with the following
groups:
• City Council - to ascertain perceptions and performance goals
• Planning & Zoning Commission - to ascertain perceptions and compare alignment with
City Council
• Departmental Customers - to obtain external perceptions on the performance of the
department. This group consisted of members of the College Station building and
development community selected by the City Manager (Also referred to as the "business
community').
• Representatives from Other City Departments - to identify interdepartmental cooperation
opportunities.
• Planning & Development Services - to ascertain internal perceptions about departmental
functions. This group consisted of P&DS employees most involved in the plan review
processes selected by the City Manager.
In total, over 70 individuals were interviewed in 57 separate individual and group interviews.
Other data was gathered from review of the comprehensive plan, Unified Development
Ordinance, departmental standard operating procedures, and other documents and reports
including a background information package prepared by the P&DS staff that contained several
ideas included in the report.
The ultimate goal of the report was to synthesize common themes expressed by the interviewees
and ascertain the degree of alignment of perceptions and goals between the involved parties.
Areas where internal and external perceptions and goals are misaligned provided the greatest
opportunities for improvement.
The report contained a number of recommendations intended to move the City's development
review process toward the "desired outcomes" and rectify the mismatch in perceptions and
attitudes identified in the report. At the P&Z meeting, Staff will provide an overview of the
recommendations contained in the report and present an update on implementation efforts to
date.

PRELIMINARY PLAN
for
Mission Ranch Subdivision
PP2015-900058
SCALE: 571 single-family residential lots on approximately 289.2 acres
LOCATION: Generally located west of Holleman Drive South and north of Rock
Prairie Road West, bounded by the existing Great Oaks
Subdivision to the west, Rock Prairie Road West to the south,
Quail Run Subdivision to the north, and Holleman Drive South to
the east.
ZONING: RS Restricted Suburban
APPLICANT: Clint Cooper, BCS Rock Prairie, LP
PROJECT MANAGER: Jennifer Prochazka, AICP, Principal Planner
jprochazka@cstx.gov
PROJECT OVERVIEW: The proposal is for 571 single-family residential lots zoned RS
Restricted Suburban and designed using the Cluster development
standards. The northern portion of the subdivision was part of the
Great Oaks Subdivision and is vested to 2007 regulations; the
southern half of this development is subject to current Subdivision
Regulations. A Preliminary Plan was approved in 2014 granting
some waiver requests to block length and sidewalks. Additional
waivers to Single-Family Parking Standards and Cluster
development requirements are sought with this revised
Preliminary Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the block length and sidewalk
waiver requests, as they were previously approved by the
Planning & Zoning Commission in a previous iteration of the
Preliminary Plan. Staff also recommends approval of the
additional waivers to Single-Family Parking Standards and Cluster
development standards, and the discretionary item related to
temporary remote access. If the Planning & Zoning Commission
approves the waivers, staff recommends approval. If the waiver
requests are denied, the Preliminary Plan must also be denied.

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Annexation: March 2008
Zoning: A-O Agricultural-Open upon annexation
R-1 B Single-Family Residential — portion of property (2008)
A-O Agricultural-Open renamed R Rural (2013)
RS Restricted Suburban (2014)
Site development: Vacant. 571 single-family residential lots are proposed averaging
12,878 square feet in area in a cluster development pattern.
COMMENTS
Water: The subject tract is located in Wellborn Special Utility District.
Sewer: The tract is located in the Steeplechase Sanitary Sewer Impact
Fee Area. A 12-inch sanitary sewer line has been extended to the
property. A lift station is proposed to be built with this
development to serve the property.
Off-site Easements: None at this time.
Drainage: The subject tract is located in the Hopes Creek Drainage Basin.
Development of the subject tract will be required to meet the City's
Storm Water Design Guidelines.
Flood Plain: There is no FEMA regulated flood plain on the property.
Greenways: N/A
Pedestrian Connectivity: The vested portion of Great Oaks was originally Master Planned in
the ETJ; therefore, no sidewalks are required. In the new portion,
sidewalks are required for pedestrian connectivity, however a
waiver to the requirement to provide sidewalks on both sides of
streets was approved with the previous Preliminary Plan, allowing
for a system of sidewalks through portions of the entire
development, instead of sidewalks on both sides through only half
of the development. Several of the sidewalks are proposed to be
privately maintained in HOA common areas.
Bicycle Connectivity: The vested portion of Great Oaks was originally Master Planned in
the ETJ; therefore, no bike lanes are proposed or required. In the
new portion, bikes lanes on both sides of Deacon Drive West and
Feather Run are required.
Streets: Access will be provided to the development via Feather Run, an
existing road from Quail Run Estates, and Deacon Drive West.
Oversize Request: N/A
Parkland Dedication Fees: The vested portion of Great Oaks was originally Master Planned in
the ETJ prior to parkland dedication requirements and therefore
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 3 of 6
July 2, 2015
no parkland dedication is required. The new portion is subject to
Parkland Dedication fees and this will be assessed on 363 lots,
totaling $457,743.
Impact Fees: A portion of the subject tract is located within the Steeplechase
Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area and will be required to pay
$144.87/LUE with building permits.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and Subdivision Regulations: The
Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Restricted Suburban. New residential zoning
districts were adopted in September 2013 to be synonymous with the Comprehensive Plan and
Mission Ranch Subdivision is the first to plat under RS Restricted Suburban standards. This
portion of Rock Prairie Road West is shown as a future 2-lane major collector on the
Thoroughfare Plan. Four 2-lane minor collectors are shown on the Thoroughfare Plan that was
adopted in 2009. This Preliminary Plan is in general compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed Preliminary Plan was reviewed
using both the Subdivision Regulations applicable to the project when the Master Plan was
originally approved in January 2007 (the northern portion) and the current UDO's Subdivision
Regulations, implemented in 2013 (the southern portion).
The Preliminary Plan is in compliance with all requirements with the exception of the following
Commission discretionary item and waiver requests listed below:
Discretionary item:
• UDO Section 12-8.3.E `Streets' -The Plan is phased in such a way that phases
two, seven, and eight require temporary Remote Emergency Access points
because they exceed the maximum thirty lots from a single point of access until
later phases are constructed. The Planning & Zoning Commission may allow this
at their discretion.
Waiver Requests:
• UDO Section 12-8.3.G `Blocks' —A waiver to the 1,200-foot maximum block
length for Rock Prairie Road West and Holleman Drive South was granted with
the previous Preliminary Plan in 2014. The proposed block lengths exceed the
maximum by approximately 940 feet, 970 feet, and 1,100 feet, respectively.
• Subdivision Regulations Section 8-J `Blocks' —A waiver to the 1,500-foot
maximum block length in Section 8-J for Feather Run was granted with the
previous Preliminary Plan in 2014. This portion of the roadway is located in the
vested half of Mission Ranch (formally Great Oaks) Subdivision. The proposed
block length exceeds the maximum by approximately 930 feet.
• UDO Section 12-8.3.K `Sidewalks' — A waiver to the requirement of providing a
public sidewalk on both sides of all streets in the non-vested portion of Mission
Ranch Subdivision, including along Rock Prairie Road West and Holleman Drive
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 6
July 2, 2015
South, was granted with the previous Preliminary Plan approval in 2014. Private
trails through common area and some public sidewalks on streets throughout the
vested and non-vested portions of the subdivision have been proposed.
• UDO Section 12-8.3.H.4 `Cluster Development' —A waiver to the maximum lot
sizes in clustered developments is sought. The Unified Development Ordinance
requires that when clustering, the average lot size be smaller than the minimum
lot size in the base district. With a minimum average being 8,000 square feet for
cluster developments in RS Restricted Suburban and the absolute minimum lot
size being 6,500 square feet. The applicant has a desire to provide larger lots,
but would prefer to cluster to allow sections of the development to have smaller
lots.
• UDO Section 12-8.3.W `Single-Family Residential Parking Requirements for
Platting' —A waiver is being sought to allow standard 27-foot wide residential
streets with parking permitted on only one side with no additional visitor parking
required. This option is being considered by staff for a future Unified Development
Ordinance amendment.
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 project includes property that was previously Master Planned in the ETJ. Approximately
half of the subdivision is vested to previous rural design standards, including longer block
lengths, no requirement for sidewalks, and no single-family parking requirements. The
applicant has provided the attached waiver request letter addressing other items related to
this finding.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant;
The project includes property that was previously Master Planned in the ETJ. Approximately
half of the subdivision is vested to previous rural design standards, including longer block
lengths, no requirement for sidewalks, and no single-family parking requirements. In order to
provide a similar type development through the subdivision, the applicant has requested the
waivers. The applicant has provided the attached waiver request letter addressing other
items related to this finding.
3) That the granting of the waivers 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
Areas surrounding the subdivision are largely platted and developed. The applicant has
provided the attached waiver request letter addressing other items related to this finding.
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.
Areas surrounding the subdivision are largely platted and developed. The applicant has
provided the attached waiver request letter addressing other items related to this finding.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the block length and sidewalk waiver requests, as they were
previously approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission in a previous iteration of the
Preliminary Plan. Staff also recommends approval of the additional waivers to Single-Family
Parking Standards and Cluster development standards, and the discretionary item related to
temporary remote access. If the Planning & Zoning Commission approves the waivers, staff
recommends approval. If the waiver requests are denied, the Preliminary Plan must also be
denied.

Dear Jennifer,
On behalf of owner of the Mission Ranch Subdivision, BCS Rock Prairie, LP, I would
like to request the following waivers be granted with the current preliminary plan that is
under review. I have listed the waivers that are being requested along with answers to the
questions included on the preliminary plan application for each waiver.
WAIVER#1 —BLOCK LENGTHS along Rock Prairie Road West and Holleman Drive
South (Previously Approved by P&Z) w
Question#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
Answer: This subdivision has been master planned by land planners, architects, and
engineers who did not feel additional connections to Rock Prairie Road West or
Holleman Drive South are necessary for circulation within the subdivision or regional
traffic flow. Keeping the number of connections to the major thoroughfares low will
improve the traffic conditions on those roadways as well.
Question#2: The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant
Answer: The developer's intent is to create a quality product that meets a growing need
in College Station, as well as add lasting value to the surrounding community. The
planning and layout of this product is based on extensive market research and
professional design and as such, reflects the developer's interpretation of the highest and
best use for this property. Granted the pending waiver has no detrimental effects on the
safety or functionality of the product or surrounding infrastructure, a denial of this waiver
would deprive the applicant enjoyment of the right to properly develop the property in
question.
Question#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 the City in administering
subdivision regulations.
Answer: The reduction of street intersections and connections to other roadways will
increase public safety by reducing the number of potential traffic conflict points on major
thoroughfares.
Question#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 provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Answer: The block length waivers are not adjacent to other developments. By reducing
the number of access points to the major roadways, it actually enhances other properties
for future development because there are fewer street connections from which those
properties will have to provide adequate separation for their new roads.
WAIVER#2 — SIDEWALK PLAN (Previously Approved by P&Z)
Question#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.
Answer: The northern half of this site is vested to a previous master plan that did not
require sidewalks along the roadways. The southern half is a new application and would
normally be required to provide sidewalks on both sides of the streets. In order to make
the development feel congruent between the two sides, the applicant wants to build
sidewalk and a trail system that will provide a sidewalk on one side of most streets and a
large trail along the main roads.
Question 42: The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant.
Answer: The developer's intent is to create a quality product that meets a growing need
in College Station, as well as add lasting value to the surrounding community. The
planning and layout of this product is based on extensive market research and
professional design and as such, reflects the developer's interpretation of the highest and
best use for this property. Granted the pending waiver has no detrimental effects on the
safety or functionality of the product or surrounding infrastructure, a denial of this waiver
would deprive the applicant enjoyment of the right to properly develop the property in
question.
Question#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 the City in administering
subdivision regulations.
Answer: The development will provide a walking system for pedestrians along the
roadways. Many of these sidewalks will meander away from the roads to provide
additional distance between the traffic and pedestrians. In this way, the granting of the
waiver will have a positive impact on the safety of the pedestrians.
Question#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 provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Answer: The walk system will be internal to the development and will not cause any
effect on neighboring properties.
WAIVER#3 —RURAL STREET SECTION WAIVER(Previously Approved by P&Z
Question#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.
Answer: The northern half of this site is vested to a previous master plan that had a rural
street section that connected to Feather Run in the northeast corner of the site. The
applicant would like to keep the rural street section for Feather Run from Deacon Drive
to the connection to the Quail Run subdivision.
Question#2: The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant.
Answer: The developer's intent is to create a quality product that meets a growing need
in College Station, as well as add lasting value to the surrounding community. The
planning and layout of this product is based on extensive market research and
professional design and as such, reflects the developer's interpretation of the highest and
best use for this property. Granted the pending waiver has no detrimental effects on the
safety or functionality of the product or surrounding infrastructure, a denial of this waiver
would deprive the applicant enjoyment of the right to properly develop the property in
question.
Question#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 the City in administering
subdivision regulations.
Answer: The proposed road section is an approved roadway for use in rural portions of
the City and County. It will be designed to meet current BCS Design Guideline
requirements to ensure it is a safe road for vehicles and pedestrians.
Question#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 provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Answer: The roadway will connect to a rural street section at Quail Run and will not
cause any adverse impact on neighboring properties.
WAIVER#4— RESIDENTIAL PARKING
Question#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.
Answer: The city staff is currently working on an amendment to the residential parking
ordinance to allow 27' wide streets with parking restricted on one side as another option
to comply with the ordinance. The applicant would like to design this project in
compliance with the updated language for the residential parking ordinance. By the time
the streets are constructed in Phase 1, the proposed language update will likely be
approved by the City.
Question#2: The waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant.
Answer: The developer's intent is to create a quality product that meets a growing need
in College Station, as well as add lasting value to the surrounding community. The
planning and layout of this product is based on extensive market research and
professional design and as such, reflects the developer's interpretation of the highest and
best use for this property. Granted the pending waiver has no detrimental effects on the
safety or functionality of the product or surrounding infrastructure, a denial of this waiver
would deprive the applicant enjoyment of the right to properly develop the property in
question.
Question#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 the City in administering
subdivision regulations.
Answer: The currently approved preliminary plan for this property has no residential
parking or restricted parking. By granting this waiver, the on street parking in the smaller
lot sections of the development will be reduced by 50%. This will allow for better access
for emergency vehicles which increases safety.
Question#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 provisions of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Answer: This waiver is completely internal to this site and will have no effect on
surrounding properties.

0.3412 acres that was built in 1969.
COMMENTS
Parkland Dedication: Fee in lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of$1,261 is
required to be paid prior to filing the Final Plat.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed Final Plat is in
compliance with the Subdivision Regulations within the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) except the following waiver requests:
UDO Section 12.8.3.H.2 "Platting and Replatting within Older Residential
Subdivisions" —The requirement is stated such that if a plat subject to this section is
creating a new lot or building plot, it must meet or exceed the average width of the lots
along the street frontage for all of the lots in the block including the subject lot(s) and
contain at least 8,500 square feet for each proposed lot. In this case, only the side of the
block along Arizona Street was used to determine the average width, given that the other
side is zoned D-Duplex and is located within a different subdivision.
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 6
July 2, 2015
The waiver requests along with the deficiencies based on the requirements listed above can
be seen in the following table:
Lot size Lot Width
(minimum size =8,500 SF) (Average width =98.9 FT)
Proposed Deficiency Proposed Deficiency
Proposed Lot 7A 7,380 SF 1,120 SF 75.28 FT 23.62 FT
Proposed Lot 8A 7,484 SF 1,016 SF 75.72 FT 23.18 FT
In accordance with the Subdivision Regulations, when requesting a waiver, the burden
of providing adequate reasoning to justify the waivers is on the applicant. In
considering the requested waivers, the Planning and Zoning Commission should
consider the following findings:
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;
Staff finds there are no provisions within this chapter of the Unified Development
Ordinance that would restrict the applicant of reasonable use of his land as a
single-family residential use. The property is already platted for a single-family
residential use with an existing home built over two lot lines creating one single-
family building plot, which is a common characteristic in the McCulloch
Subdivision and in many of the older single-family neighborhoods in the
surrounding area.
2) That the waivers are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of
a substantial property right of the applicant;
Staff finds that denying the waivers would not restrict the applicant from any
substantial property right, as it can still be used as one lot for a single-family
residential use.
3) That the granting of the waivers 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
Staff finds that the granting of the waivers could be injurious of the other properties
in the area as property owners in the McCulloch neighborhood have initiated the
process to request a Single Family Overlay to protect the neighborhood's existing
character. Granting the waivers would not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare as the property has access to a public street and utilities.
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.
Staff finds that the area surrounding this property is already platted therefore the
granting of this waiver should not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land.

8.3.1-1.2. Platting and Replatting within Older Residential Subdivisions. If the waivers are
approved by the Commission, the Final Plat should be approved. If the waivers are denied, the
Final Plat should also be denied.

REVIEW CRITERIA
1. The proposed use shall meet the purpose and intent of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) and meet all minimum standards for this type of use per the
UDO. The proposed use of multi-family on the first floor requires a Conditional Use
Planning &Zoning Commission Page 4 of 5
July 2, 2015
Permit to be located in WPC Wolf Pen Creek District. The applicant is proposing to
remove approximately 9,000 square feet of commercial space to create 8 additional
residential units, so no commercial uses remain. The applicant is not proposing any
changes to the site plan. There may be changes to the building exterior which will
require submittal to the Design Review Board for approval.
2. The proposed use shall be consistent with the development policies and goals and
objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for development in the City.
The subject tract is shown on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map
as Urban Mixed Use which allows for residential, commercial, and office uses in vertical
mixed-use structures. The subject property is also located within the Wolf Pen Creek
District which combines parks, arts, and commerce by linking public and private facilities
with an urban greenway.
The Wolf Pen Creek Corridor has been the subject of considerable planning efforts, along
with both public and private investment, with the intent to identify areas for economic
development. The City's Economic Development Master Plan, adopted by the City Council
in 2013, identifies tourism as one of the ways the City can diversify the local economy. It
names the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor as an attraction for local residents and visitors with
amenities including parks and trails, the Art Center, the Amphitheater, festival grounds and
the Spirit Ice Arena. Noting that there is still undeveloped land that is available for
commercial development, the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor still has opportunity for growth. The
City's Economic Development Master Plan also speaks to the need to support retail
development.
The intersection of Holleman Drive East and Dartmouth Street, both classified as minor
arterials on the City's Comprehensive Plan —Thoroughfare Map, has the highest potential
for commercial development. Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit
with the condition that commercial space be retained in order to carry out the vision of
public and private efforts as the corridor continues to develop.
3. The proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, or safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, not be substantially or permanently
injurious to neighboring property. The proposed use will likely not be detrimental or
injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants.
4. The proposed site plan and circulation plan shall be harmonious with the character
of the surrounding area. This request is change existing commercial tenant spaces into
additional multi-family units. The applicant is not proposing changes to the site plan and
any building exterior changes will be reviewed by the Design Review Board. While there
are some multi-family complexes in the WPC Wolf Pen Creek District that have multi-
family on the first floor, the adjacent uses along the south side of Holleman Drive East to
Texas Avenue are commercial or multi-family with a commercial component.
5. The proposed use shall not negatively impact existing uses in the area or in the City
through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities, electrical,
or water and sewer systems, or on public services such as police and fire protection,
solid waste collection, or the ability of existing infrastructure and services to
adequately provide services. This use will not negatively impact public infrastructure or
services beyond its current impact. This site has existing parking spaces that meet the
