Only in the event of an irreconcilable conflict shall the later adopted ordinance prevail and then only to the extent necessary to avoid such conflict. Ordinances adopted at the same city council meeting without reference to another such ordinance shall be harmonized, if possible, so that effect may be given to each. 2. Purpose. The Comprehensive Plan is to be used as a guide for growth and development for the entire City and its extra-territorial jurisdiction ("ETJ"). The College Station Comprehensive Plan depicts generalized locations of proposed future land-uses, including thoroughfares, bikeways, pedestrian ways, parks, greenways, and waterlines that are subject to modification by the City to fit local conditions and budget constraints. 3. General nature of Future Land Use and Character. The College Station Comprehensive Plan, in particular the Future Land Use and Character Map found in A.3 above and any adopted amendments thereto, shall not be nor considered a zoning map, shall not constitute zoning regulations or establish zoning boundaries and shall not be site or parcel specific but shall be used to illustrate generalized locations. 4. General nature of College Station Comprehensive Plan. The College Station Comprehensive Plan, including the Thoroughfare Plan, Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan, Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Water System Master Plan and any additions, amendments, master plans and subcategories thereto depict same in generalized terms including future locations; and are subject to modifications by the City to fit local conditions, budget constraints, cost participation, and right-of-way availability that warrant further refinement as development occurs. Linear routes such as bikeways,greenways,thoroughfares, pedestrian ways, waterlines and sewer lines that are a part of the College Station Comprehensive Plan may be relocated by the City 1,000 feet from the locations shown in the Plan without being considered an amendment thereto. 5. Reference. The term College Station Comprehensive Plan includes all of the above in its entirety as if presented in full herein, and as same may from time to time be amended." ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 6 of 13 EXHIBIT "B" Water System Master Plan: ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 7 of 13 2016 Water Master Plan — Implementation & Administration This Water Master Plan is being formulated to support the long term needs and goals of the City as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. This section summarizes the methodology to turn recommendations into reality to ensure that the potable water needs of the community are met as the City grows and changes over the next decade. This section outlines the timeframe envisioned by this plan,the roles of the various parties involved in its implementation, provides an overview of the costs associated with the plan and begins the discussion of how these costs will be funded, details how the plan will be implemented, and finally explains how the plan will be monitored over time and kept relevant. Timeframe of Master Plan Implementation of the Water Master Plan is anticipated to take ten or more years and is expected to lay the foundation for the next several decades of the city's on-going efforts at delivering the citizen's a safe and reliable potable water supply. Many outside influences directly impact the City's ability to obtain adequate water supply, such as: Permit requirements from the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District; The potential System Operations Permit for the Brazos River Authority; State legislation on groundwater systems; Pumping by other water providers in the Simsboro aquifer; Establishment of a Desired Future Condition for the Simsboro aquifer by Groundwater Management Area #12 Board; Provisions of the Region G and State Water Plan adopted by the Texas Water Development Board; and regulation promulgated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. These factors will be monitored closely over the next decade and beyond, and this plan will be updated as any legislative or regulatory initiatives dictate. Implementation and Coordination Roles A variety of parties will need to be involved in the implementation of this plan to realize its successful completion. This includes various government departments as well as development interests and residents and business owners. Outlined in the following are several of the key parties and the types of actions in which they should participate. City Council will take the lead in the following areas: • Adopt and amend the Water Master Plan by ordinance after receiving recommendations from the Planning&Zoning Commission; • Support and champion the Plan; • Adopt new or amended ordinances and regulations to implement the Plan; • Approve inter-local agreements that implement the Plan; • Consider and approve the funding commitments that will be required to implement the Plan; • Provide final approval of projects and activities with associated costs during the budget process; • Adopt and amend policies that support and help implement the Plan • Conduct an annual public hearing regarding the implementation of this Plan; and ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 8 of 13 • Provide policy direction to the Planning&Zoning Commission, other appointed City boards and commissions, and City staff Planning &Zoning Commission will take the lead in the following areas: • Recommend changes in codes and standards to the City Council that reflect the goals and action items; • Make recommendations regarding the Plan for subsequent approval and adoption by the City Council; • Review Capital Improvement Plans and make recommendations to the City Council; • Conduct an annual public hearing regarding the implementation of this Plan; • Function as the City's Capital Improvement Advisory Committee (CIAC)to make recommendations regarding possible Impact Fees, and • Review development applications for consistency with this Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. City Staff will take the lead in the following areas: • Manage day-to-day implementation of the Plan; • Support and carry out capital improvement plan efforts and programming; • Manage the drafting of new or amended regulations and ordinances that further the goals of the Plan; • Conduct necessary studies and develop additional plans where appropriate; • Review development applications for consistency with this Plan and the Comprehensive Plan; • Negotiate the details of any necessary inter-local agreements; • Administer collaborative programs and ensure open channels of communication with various private, public, and non-profit implementation partners; and • Maintain an inventory of potential plan amendments as suggested by City staff and others for consideration during annual and periodic plan review and updates to the Planning&Zoning Commission and City Council. City Residents, Development Interests, Business Owners, and others will take the lead in the following areas: • Support and implement the plan; • Develop and carry-out development projects consistent with this Plan and the Comprehensive Plan; • Assist in the monitoring of the Plan and participate in the annual review process of the Plan, and • Assist staff in developing new programs and project opportunities to aid in implementation of the Plan. ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 9 of 13 Costs and Funding Understanding and accurately projecting the costs of implementing this Plan are critical to its success. Failure to adequately project costs and secure funding to implement this Plan could both impact the dependability of the City's potable water supply and could constrain future development opportunities. Costs were projected for design, construction and maintenance of the facilities contained within this Plan. Please note that the new facilities listed below are dictated by TCEQ Regulation for public water supply systems, based on certain demand parameters, and will be mandatory as the City's water demand increases. The Rehabilitation projects are necessary to keep customer service at a high standard, which includes water service dependability and water quality(such as taste, color, etc). These projections should only be used as a preliminary guide with further study needed to arrive at more accurate cost projections. Figure 1 provides cost projections for facilities providing additional system capacity and for rehabilitation of aging infrastructure. Costs associated with each facility are provided based on 2010 dollars. As noted, additional detailed analysis will be needed to ensure all factors and issues are considered before actually developing a project budget and allocating funds.

Historically,the development of the City's potable water supply and distribution system has been accomplished by developers installing water system components within a new development, and the City funding the major system components like water wells and collection/transmission lines. Under this system, expansions of the capacity of the water supply system have relied solely on the rate payers. Due to budget constraints, concerns with rates, etc. it is increasingly becoming expected that capacity related expansions (production,treatment, and distribution)will rely upon development activities for funding and implementation. The exclusive source of funding for implementation of this Plan is the Water Fund, which is an Enterprise Fund within the City. The Water Fund obtains revenue from the following sources: • Revenue collected by rates assessed to the system users • Various Fees charged to individuals, primarily developers, including Impact Fees ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 11 of 13 • Utility Revenue Bonds— Issued as needed for long-term assets • Certificates of Obligation— Issued as needed to long-term assets • Other sources that may be used by Council action, such as: o Public Improvement Districts—These districts use property assessments to finance public improvement projects within a specified area, or district. Properties within the designated area are generally assessed proportional to the assessed value of their property. The additional funds would be used to fund a specific public improvement project. o Tax Increment Financing Districts—These districts use taxes generated from redevelopment through private investment to finance public improvement projects within the specified district. o State and Federal Governments/Grants—Funding opportunities from the state and federal government are also available. Implementation Methods The recommendations described in this Plan will require several methods to progress from a concept into constructed facilities and programs. This section provides a description of each of these methods: Policy, Regulations, and Standards For the City's water system to meet future demands and keep pace with the City's growth and development, adopting clear policies, regulations, and standards that support the goals and actions of this Plan and the Comprehensive Plan are vital, particularly in light of existing budgetary challenges and the limited supply of water. As development occurs, land use, development, and utility policies, regulations, and standards can have a positive and long-lasting impact. Adopting and amending existing policies, regulations, and standards will be necessary to successfully implement this Plan. One recent example of such an action was the City's decision to adopt a conservation rate approach to pricing the demand on the potable water supply. Future examples will include consideration of a city-wide water utility impact fee and expansion of xeriscape options for development landscaping. Capital Improvements Programming A Capital Improvements Program is a multi-year plan (in College Station typically five years in length) that identifies budgeted capital projects such as water mains and wells and the purchase of major equipment. Identifying and budgeting for major capital improvements is essential to implementing this Plan. Decisions regarding the prioritization of proposed capital improvements should be directly based on the guidance provided in this Plan and in the Comprehensive Plan. Special projects, programs, and initiatives Special projects, programs, and initiatives include initiating or adjusting City programs, interlocal agreements, citizen participation programs,training, and other types of special projects that will further ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 12 of 13 the successful implementation of this plan. Two good examples currently used by the City is the current efforts at water conservation education and the water reclamation project. Plan Administration The development of this Plan involved time and input by various agencies, departments, staff, and stakeholders. These parties must maintain their commitment and be given opportunities to remain involved to successfully implement this Plan. Most importantly, the plan must remain relevant, addressing the needs of today while preparing for those of the future. The City's Comprehensive Plan is built on the assumption that the City's various neighborhood, corridor, district, and master plans expect nothing less. It is critical that the City Council remain active in monitoring and evaluating the Plan and where necessary, making adjustments. Monitoring& Evaluation As part of any planning process, on-going evaluation must be incorporated into the implementation program. Continued evaluation of conditions and opportunities associated with the City's water system allows the plan to adapt and remain relevant over the course of the Plan's life. Successful evaluation incorporates the establishment of descriptive indicators that track the efficacy of the proposed actions, understanding changed conditions, and potential reprioritization of actions and funding based on the findings of the evaluation. Annual Report To ensure the on-going relevance of the Water Master Plan,the Plan should be evaluated annually. This annual evaluation should include at least the following components: • Updated existing conditions; • Progress toward reaching goals, as determined through specific indicators; • Report on any completed actions; • Status updates of all actions underway for the current implementation period; • Outline of remaining actions scheduled for the remainder of the current implementation period; • Potential changes to costs, and • Recommendations for changes in implementation schedule or actions. • Stakeholders,the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council should be involved in the annual review of the Plan. Interim Amendments Occasionally, it may be necessary to consider a minor amendment independent of the annual review. In such instances,the amendments should be tested for consistency with the goals stated in this Plan as well as the Comprehensive Plan. Specific care should be used to guard against changes that are site- specific that could negatively impact adjacent areas and uses. Factors worth considering when processing such interim amendments should at a minimum include: ORDINANCE NO. 2017-3880 Page 13 of 13 • Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in this Plan and the Comprehensive Plan; • Further the objectives of the Future Land Use &Character Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan, and any adopted neighborhood, corridor, or district plan; • Promote a land use pattern compatible with the surrounding area; • Impact on other infrastructure systems; • Impact on the City's ability to fund and maintain the necessary service; • Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas, and • Contribution to the overall direction and character of the community as captured in the Comprehensive Plan's vision and goals. Five-Year Update An evaluation and appraisal report should be prepared every five years by the City with input from various department,the Planning and Zoning Commission, stakeholders, and any other appropriate boards and commissions. The report should involve evaluation of the existing plan and assessing how successful it has been in achieving the stated goals. The purpose of the report is to identify the successes and shortcomings of the Plan, consider changing conditions, and recommend appropriate modifications; at a detail much more substantial than that associated with the annual review. At a minimum, this report should include detailed information on the following: • Major actions and interim plan amendments undertaken over the preceding five years; • Major water-related trends in the community and how these have changed over time; • Changes in the assumptions and base study data, and • Ability of the Plan to continue to support progress toward achieving the community's goals CONCLUSION The implementation of this Water Master Plan relies primarily on two factors: • The pace of development within the City's water service area, and • The willingness of City Council to generate the revenue to fund the infrastructure requirements generated by that development, while properly maintaining the existing system The infrastructure needs are clearly defined by TCEQ Regulation, based on population and water demands. This plan anticipates those needs, and defines the infrastructure requirements that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. As always,the City's goal is to provide outstanding utility services to our customers, and this plan will help us achieve that goal.
