This section highlights some of the more common questions. If you have questions for the Planner on Call, please con- tact us at 979-764-3858 or POC@cstx.gov. Q: I have 20 acres of property that is located outside the city limits of Col- lege Station. I’m considering selling a portion. What can be built on it? A: Property that is located outside the city limits of College Station, but within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), does not have zoning, so it can be developed for any use not restricted by other laws such as deed restrictions or state and federal law. When a tract of land in the ETJ is subdivided to portions less than 10 acres, the property must be filed for record with a final plat that meets the Subdivision Regulations of the Brazos County and the College Station Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). All lots are required to be a mini- mum of one acre and have at least 100 feet of street frontage. All lots would also be required to have access to the necessary infrastructure, such as public streets, water and waste water. Such facilities would be designed according to the Bryan/College Station Design Guidelines. When private septic system is used, it must meet the requirements of the Brazos County Health Department. If the proposed subdivision creates lots that are more than 10 acres, has access to a public street, and does not require the dedication of public infrastructure, a plat is not required. The subdivision can take place by a simple metes and bound description re- corded in the deed. If a property five acres or less is to be developed or is five acres or more and is for any other use beside single-family or agri- cultural, the property would require approval of a Development Plat. For more information on property located in the ETJ, please contact the Planner-On-Call. 1101 Texas Avenue PO Box 9960 College Station, TX 77842 979-764-3570 Fax: 979-764-3496 www.cstx.gov Volume 14 Issue 9 Building a Better Community with You BUILDING PERMIT TOTALS: Month of September 2013 Type of Permit Permit Unit Total Sq.
