Workshop Agenda Item No. 4 -- Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the Desired Future
Condition of the Simsboro aquifer, including a presentation on the Economic Impact of Large
Groundwater Withdrawal.
Dave Coleman, Director of Water Services presented staff report. He stated that the future of groundwater
availability in this region will be determined over the next 18 months. State law requires that each Groundwater
Management Area must establish, by 1 September 2010, a “Desired Future Condition” (DFC) for the aquifers in
their area. These DFCs will be used by the Texas Water Development Board to determine how much water can
be withdrawn from each area, in order to maintain the specified DFC. We jointly hired HDR Engineers, who has
completed this study and concluded that moderate to severe economic impacts could result; depending on how far
the Simsboro aquifer is depleted.
· Moderate declines: Increased costs to rework wells and pump water farther
· Drastic declines: Construct an alternate water source, such as Millican Reservoir, which would be
extremely costly
David Dunn from HDR Engineering explained the economic study.
Bill Riley, the Director of the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District mentioned the political
complexities of ground water management when numerous entities are involved. He is utilizing different
management strategies to ensure adjacent counties are secured with adequate water resources as well.
Staff requested City Council’s support to pursue Moderate Declines in the DFC process.
Council member Massey moved to endorse staff’s recommendation. Council member Maloney seconded the
motion, which carried 5-0.

Regular Agenda Item No. 6 -- Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion on
consideration of an ordinance amending Chapter 10, “Traffic Code,” to restrict parking on the north side
of Greens Prairie Road adjacent to Forest Ridge Elementary School.
Troy Rother, City Traffic Engineer summarized the request from school officials at Forest Ridge Elementary
School. The Principal of this School has requested the City consider parking restrictions on north side of Greens
Prairie Road. Staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem McIlhaney opened the public hearing. Ben Roper, 4411 Edenburg Place, spoke in opposition to
the proposal. His concern related to the parking that occurs within the adjacent neighborhoods due to inadequate
parking facility at the school. Mayor Pro Tem McIlhaney closed the public hearing.
Council directed staff to contact school officials and review other alternatives.
No action was taken.
Regular Agenda Item No. 7 -- Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an exception to
Policy to allow the Grey Wolf Trail development to connect to the City sewer system.
David Coleman, Director of Water Services summarized a request for sewer service to property located in the
ETJ, off North Dowling Road, south of Easterwood Airport The proposed development is for 24 duplex
buildings (48 duplex units). The tracts total 13.88 acres, which are not contiguous with current City limits, and
are thus not currently eligible for annexation without the inclusion of additional land. The tracts are outside the
City’s current certificated area for sewer, but are in an area that is presently un-certificated, so the City could
legally provide sewer service. Staff recommended Council deny this request, because the proposed development
is inconsistent with the City’s Land Use Plan.
Bob Cowell, Director of Planning and Development Services commented on this development project and
adjacent properties regarding development agreements.
Chuck Ellison, representing Brazos Wyldewood II, Inc., the applicant, sought the City Council’s support of the
request.
Council member Maloney moved to deny the request for City sewer service. Council member Massey seconded
the motion, which carried 4-1.
FOR: Council member Massey, Maloney, Stewart and Ruesink
AGAINST: Mayor Pro Tem McIlhaney
ABSENT: Mayor White, Council member Crompton

Regular Agenda Item No. 8 -- Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an Interlocal
Agreement between the City of College Station and the College Station ISD (CSISD) for the purchase and
installation of fencing for the joint City/School Parks at Pebble Creek and Jack and Dorothy Miller Parks.
Tony Cisneros, Director of Parks and Recreation presented a proposal for additional fencing at the joint city and
school parks at Pebble Creek Elementary and Rock Prairie Elementary. A safety issue has been identified with
protection of students during the times that school is in session. Public use of the fenced parks during normal
school hours will not be permitted without the public first processing through the schools’ admittance offices.
CSISD will prepare the specifications and bid package and install fences. The City of College Station will pay
50% of the final costs. Staff recommended approval of the Interlocal Agreement with CSISD.

To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Michael “Ike” Ikner, Chief of Police
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action and discussion regarding the racial
profile report required annually by Senate Bill 1074, of the Texas 77th legislative
session.
Recommendation(s): This item is presented according to statutory requirements.
Staff requests Council’s acceptance of this report.
Summary: Each year, in an effort to remain transparent to our community, the
Police Department employs an independent consultant to analyze traffic stop data
and develop this report. This year’s analysis yields remarkable similarities to past
year results with no significant anomalies to give rise for concern. The report
further indicates that the department is in compliance with state law and continues
to employ best practice strategies. A copy of this report was provided to Council
prior to March 1st in compliance with statutory requirements.
Since January 1, 2002, the College Station Police Department, in accordance with the
Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB No. 1074), has been required to implement and
maintain policy and procedures to satisfy the requirements of the law. The
requirements include:
· Development of a policy, which clearly defines the acts that constitute racial
profiling and prohibits any peace officer employed by the department from
engaging in racial profiling.
· Conduct Racial Profiling Training to Law Enforcement Officers.
· Implementation and publication of complaint and disciplinary processes for
addressing racial profiling complaints.
· Development of a policy which establishes procedures for reviewing video and
audio documentation.
· Collection of tier 1 traffic stop data.
· Production of an annual report on police traffic contacts (tier 1) and
conveyance of that report to the City Council before March 1 of each year.

Consent Agenda Item No. 2c
Amendment to Principal Decision Systems International (PDSI) License and
Service Agreement and a Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse
Certain Expenditures with Proceeds from Debt
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Ben Roper, Information Technology Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding approval
of an amendment to the License Agreement and Annual Maintenance with Principal
Decision Systems International approved by the City Manager on June 26, 2002
which amends the covered products, and approval of a resolution declaring intention
to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Summary: This software (TeleStaff and WebStaff) is a personnel scheduling system
currently used by the Fire Department. This amendment simply adds the licenses
and software maintenance, allowing the Police Department to utilize this software.
This software will assist the Police Department in scheduling their work force,
allowing remote access by PD officers and personnel to request time off and/or
request overtime when needed. Additionally, it provides the capability to
automatically contact off duty personnel to have them report for duty during times of
need.
This sole source purchase is exempt from competitive bidding by LGC
252.022(a)(7)(A) “a procurement of items that are available from only one source
because of patents, copyrights, secret processes, or natural monopolies”.
Budget & Financial Summary: The budget for this project is currently $71,300.
No funds have been expended or committed to date. The amendment to the License
Agreement and Annual Maintenance, along with other additional hardware costs, are
estimated to be $71,300. Funds for the on-going support of the license, after the
first year, will be included in the Information Technology Department's operating
budget. The “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with
Proceeds from Debt” is necessary for this item because a portion of the long term
debt has not been issued for the project. This debt is scheduled to be issued later
this fiscal year.
Attachments:
1.) 2009 Amendment to TeleStaff License and Annual Service Agreement.
2.) Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with Proceeds
from Debt.

To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Coleman, Water Services Director
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a resolution to
award bid number 09-24 to T&D Solutions in the amount of $55,414.13 for installation and
termination of fiber optic cable to the Sandy Point Pump Station.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
Summary: This contract is for the installation of fiber optic cable to connect the existing
City fiber optic network at George Bush Drive to the Sandy Point Water Pump Station. This
project will complete the necessary improvements in communications infrastructure to:
· Fully implement the physical access security as directed by the EPA’s Water Services
Vulnerability Assessment.
· Provide the communications improvements needed to continue the supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA) system hardware replacement in the well field.
The project includes installation of approximately 69,000 feet of fiber optic cable in existing
underground conduit, completing all fiber terminations and testing of fiber optic
communication system. The conduit for the fiber optic cable was previously installed as
part of the construction of the parallel water transmission line project.
This project is included in the Water Services Department Special Services strategic
business plan. The project addresses section four Citywide safety and security Strategy 1
goal 1.1.1 to implement physical security, objective 1.1.2 to improve video surveillance and
Strategy 2 Objective 1.3.1 to continue implementing the SCADA replacement program.
When complete, this data link will keep College Station’s water system on the forward edge
of technological capabilities, and among a small number of cities nationwide who are gaining
efficiency through this technology. We are striving for total system integration, which will
allow optimization of resources, such as manpower, energy, and equipment.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funds in the amount of $500,000 are budgeted for this
project and available in the water services Capital Improvement Projects. Funds in the
amount of $42,885 have been expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of
$457,115. Bid number 09-024 received 15 bids with T & D Solutions being the lowest
responsive, responsible bidder.

Engagement Agreement with Mathews & Freeland
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Coleman, Director of Water Services
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion to approve an engagement
agreement with Mr. Jim Mathews, of Mathews & Freeland, for legal representation in the
matter of the Skiles Groundwater Permit Application, not to exceed $100,000.
Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve the agreement.
Summary: The City of College Station has been granted status as an “Affected Party” in
the contested case hearing requested by Dr. Cliff Skiles, regarding the denial of his
application for Simsboro well permits by the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation
District (BVGCD). As an Affected Party, legal representation is required, and staff
recommends we hire Mr. Jim Mathews, of Mathews & Freeland L.L.C. since he is well versed
in groundwater issues. Mr. Mathews is also representing the other two parties who were
granted status as Affected Parties, the City of Bryan and Twin Oaks Power, and Mr. Mathews
has agreed to split the cost of common legal work equally among the three parties.
This issue is critical to all entities who withdraw water from the Simsboro aquifer. The
BVGCD rules were established to preserve our water resource for all future generations, and
we must take all action necessary to ensure these rules are followed. Dr. Skiles requested
8,300 acre-feet per year of Simsboro water (in addition to over 20,000 acre-feet per year
that he already holds in Historic permits) but the BVGCD Staff determined that Dr. Skiles
did not demonstrate a “beneficial use” for that quantity of water. Therefore, the BVGCD
Board of Directors denied the application. Dr. Skiles then requested, and was granted, a
contested case hearing to review that denial. Staff therefore requests City Council approve
this engagement agreement with Mr. Mathews, to maximize the likelihood of a satisfactory
resolution to the hearing.
Budget & Financial Summary: Estimated cost for FY-09 will not exceed $100,000. These
funds are budgeted and available in the Water Fund.

From: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion authorizing the payment of
a redevelopment reimbursement and cash incentive payments in a total amount of
$271,100 to Radakor, L.L.C.
Recommendation(s): In fulfillment of the City’s contractual obligation, staff recommends
approval of the $271,100 payment to Radakor, L.L.C.
Summary: On October 12, 2006, the City Council approved an Economic Development
Agreement with Radakor, L.L.C. to provide reimbursement and cash incentives for their
performance on the residential and commercial redevelopment project commonly referred
to as “The Factory,” a 107 unit residential property located at the corner of Cherry Street
and College Main in Northgate. The agreement allows for multiple site developments in
multiple phases, each with separate incentives; this reimbursement represents the
completion of the residential component of the agreement. The term of this agreement runs
through December 31, 2013 with a total maximum amount of all eligible reimbursements
and incentives of $965,000.
The reimbursement component of the existing agreement provided for up to $65,000 in
reimbursements and required Radakor, L.L.C. to relocate a wastewater line that was on
their property into the public right of way in advance of the Stasney and Tauber Street
improvement project.
The agreement also provided for cash incentives in an amount not to exceed $900,000.
Under this section of the Agreement the developer was to construct a multi-family
residential facility with a minimum Building Permit Value of $500,000. As a performance
incentive, the City is to provide reimbursement at a rate of three percent (3%) of the
Building Permit Value up to a total of $9 million.
The agreement also provided incentives for a minimum of 25,000 square feet of non-
residential construction, which are defined as office, retail or commercial in their design and
use, with a minimum Building Permit Value of $15 million. In order to qualify for the above
cash incentives the developer must develop and obtain Certificates of occupancy for the
facilities on or before December 31, 2013.
Based on the Statement of Compliance as recently submitted by Radakor, L.L.C. to the City,
the company has met the requirements to receive the $65,000 reimbursement for the
wastewater line relocation project. Radakor, L.L.C. has also established a multi-family
residential facility with a Building Permit Value of $6,870,000 and, as such, is eligible for a
development cash incentive payment of $206,100. Furthermore, Radakor, L.L.C. has
acknowledged that it has until December 31, 2013 to develop the previously mentioned
non-residential facilities to receive any further cash incentives from the City.
Budget & Financial Summary: Funding in the amount of $206,100 is budgeted and
available in the City’s Economic Development Fund. Reimbursement for the wastewater line
93
relocation project in the amount of $65,000 is budgeted in the CIP budget for the Tauber
and Stasney Street improvements.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends;
1) Acceptance of the recommendations from the Red Light Camera Committee for the
installation of 5 more red light cameras;
2) Approval of the authorization of the additional expenditure of $315,000 for a total not to

3) Approval of the modification (attached Exhibit A) of the TxDOT Amendment to the

Summary: On February 18, 2008, the City of College Station’s red light camera program,
Cameras Advancing Red Light Enforcement Safety (CARES) began operating. There are
currently four (4) intersection approaches monitored by cameras, which were recommended
by a council appointed committee as required by state law, and by the City Council.
Additionally, at the end of the city’s 2008 fiscal year, the city remitted to the State
Comptroller’s Office approximately $181,000 to be deposited into the state’s Regional
Trauma Center Account to be split between the 5 trauma centers in our area. This
represents 50% of the money remaining after the vendor fees were paid and the city
recovered its expenses related to operating and maintaining the program.
City staff met with the Red Light Camera Citizen Advisory Committee and used crash and
citation data to develop a list of 17 intersections to be videoed and evaluated for red light
cameras. Based on the analysis of the video survey and an engineering report, the
Committee recommends that the program be expanded to include the following five (5)

Regular Agenda Item No. 2
Public Hearing and Possible Participation in the Texas Enterprise Zone
Program and Nomination of Lynntech, Inc. as an Enterprise Project
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion
creating an ordinance authorizing the City’s participation in the Texas Enterprise
Zone Program and nominating Lynntech, Inc. to the Office of the Governor as an
enterprise project.
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the City’s participation in the
Texas Enterprise Zone Program. Further, staff recommends that the City Council
move to nominate Lynntech, Inc. as an enterprise project under the program.
Summary: The Texas Enterprise Program was created to encourage job creation
and capital investment by reducing State sales and local use taxes for qualified
businesses. To qualify, businesses must be located in economically disadvantaged
areas and/or maintain a workforce comprised of a certain percentage of eligible
residents of an enterprise zone or who themselves are considered economically-
disadvantaged. In addition to incentives offered by the State of Texas, the program
allows for the City to provide, at its sole discretion, incentives such as those
currently available to businesses investing in College Station.
In early February 2009, Lynntech, Inc. requested that the City nominate them as an
Enterprise Project under the provisions of the Texas Enterprise Program to better
assist with their planned redevelopment of the former Westinghouse Property located
at 2501 Earl Rudder Freeway South. Lynntech, Inc. currently estimates that they
will be making a $12 million investment in proposed equipment and real property at
the site. Lynntech, Inc. also anticipates growing its employee base from 123 full
time employees to approximately 200 over the next five (5) years.
Adopting the attached ordinance will partially fulfill the requirements of Chapter 2303
of the Texas Government Code to allow for participation in the program and will
permit Lynntech, Inc. to be placed in nomination to the Office of the Governor by the
City.
Budget & Financial Summary: Currently, there is no direct fiscal obligation
assumed by the City in participating in the program or by nominating Lynntech, Inc.
as an enterprise project. However, the City Council has expressed a clear interest
and willingness to pro-actively assist Lynntech with its reinvestment plans at the
former Westinghouse facility. Any potential local incentives provided to Lynntech,
Inc., or any other the enterprise project, would be at the express pleasure of the City
Council.

FROM: David Gwin, Director of Economic and Community Development
SUBJECT: Approval of the Texas Enterprise Zone Program and Nomination of
Lynntech as an Enterprise Zone Project
In an effort to better assist with Lynntech’s anticipated relocation and investment
in the former Westinghouse facility, staff has identified the Texas Enterprise
Zone Program as a possible programmatic opportunity that can be utilized as a
tool to help incent the project with minimal financial impact to the City. The
following information is intended to address potential questions regarding the
program and to seek general direction from the City Council in this regard.
What is an Enterprise Zone?
An “enterprise zone” is an economic development tool which allows for local
communities to partner with the State of Texas to encourage job creation and
capital investment in economically-distressed areas by incenting certain
qualifying enterprise projects.
What is an Enterprise Project?
An “enterprise project” is a company or business that has been nominated by a
municipality and meets the following criteria:
• The business must provide a substantial commitment to initiate the active
conduct of a trade or business at a qualified business site, which is not
required to be in the designated enterprise zone
• Has at least 25% of the business’ new employees are either economically-
disadvantaged or enterprise zone residents; or at least 35% of the business’
new employees must be economically-disadvantaged if the qualified business
site is located outside of an enterprise zone
• New jobs must be created to allow for 1,820 work hours in a year per
employee for at least three years
What is the definition of an economically-disadvantaged individual?
An individual at the time of hire:
• Who was unemployed for at least three months before obtaining
employment with a qualified business; or
• Receives public assistance benefits; or
103
• Has a physical or mental disability; or
• Is homeless; or
• Is a foster child; or
• Is on parole; or
• Or is considered to have low-to-moderate income
What are the benefits of the program to the nominated business?
Each designated project is eligible for refunds of the State’s portion of sales tax
on large capital improvement purchases as part of its investment or reinvestment
in the community. The level and amount of the refund is directly related to the
amount of capital investment and jobs created at the site. There is no
guaranteed impact to the City’s sales tax portion. Additionally:
• In terms of the franchise tax, the project’s apportioned taxable capital may
be reduced by either 50% of the capital investment made, or the
apportioned earned surplus income may be reduced by 5% of the capital
investment made in the zone for each of year of the five-year designation
• Enterprise Projects receive priority for Smart Job Funds
• The City Council can also elect to offer other incentives such as those
currently available to businesses investing in College Station. However,
there is no guarantee that these incentives will be extended.
What is the cost to College Station?
There is no fiscal obligation to the City for designating an enterprise zone or
nominating an enterprise project. However, the City Council, at its sole
discretion, may offer incentives such as tax abatement, a refund of local sales
and use taxes, permit fee waivers, TIF creation, transfer of public property at
below market cost, fast tracking of permits, low interest loans, etc.. Further, the
City may only nominate up to four (4) businesses claiming any combination of up
to five (5) slots in a given two year period.
What is the soonest this could be done?
Applications for enterprise project status are only accepted on the first business
day of the months of March, September, June and December each year.
Projects are designated typically eight to ten weeks after the quarterly project
application deadline. Because Lynntech is currently planning to make a number
of large capital purchases in late Spring and early Summer, staff is trying to
facilitate a timely designation under this program to make Lynntech’s
participation and purchases eligible. In order to make the March deadline work,
staff would have to come back to the City Council on February 26th in order to
nominate Lynntech as an enterprise project.
What does this mean for College Station?
Short Term:
• The program can be used to assist in the reuse and redevelopment of the
Westinghouse property by Lynntech
104
• By nominating the Lynntech project as an enterprise project, the City will
be facilitating several potential incentives that will assist this growing,
College Station-based employer in continuing to do business in College
Station
• Because Lynntech is located outside of an eligible potential enterprise
zone, 35% of their new employees must be considered economically-
disadvantaged to be eligible under the program.
• New employees must remain employed with the business for three (3)
years
• Lynntech will most likely target TAMU students and recent graduates for
employment, most of who would fall under the economically-
disadvantaged category.
Long Term:
• The Enterprise Zone Program would be another tool in the City’s Economic
Development Tool Box to assist new and expanding businesses
• Provides incentives with limited fiscal burden on the City in order to
secure new capital investment and create new jobs
• College Station currently has thirty (30) Census Block Groups that meet
the criteria to be designated as an enterprise zone
Next Step
Upon City Council direction in the affirmative, staff will prepare a resolution
establishing an Enterprise Zone Program in College Station and approving the
nomination of Lynntech as an enterprise project under that program. This
nomination will utilize one of the City’s four project nominations over the next
two years.
Policy Direction?
Is the Council comfortable in moving forward in 1) adopting an ordinance
establishing an Enterprise Zone Program in College Station? and 2) nominating
Lynntech as an enterprise project under the program?

Regular Agenda Item No. 3
2807 Earl Rudder Freeway South - Rezoning
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Bob Cowell, AICP, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion
regarding a Rezoning from R-1, Single-Family Residential to A-P, Administrative
Professional; A-O, Agricultural Open to A-P, Administrative Professional; and R-1,
Single-Family Residential to A-O, Agricultural Open for 4.46 acres located at 2807
Earl Rudder Freeway South, and more generally located next to the North Forest
Professional Park.
Recommendation(s): The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the amendment by a vote of 7 to 0 at their February 5th meeting. Staff
also recommended approval.
Summary:
REVIEW CRITERIA
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan was
amended in November 2008 to change approximately 2.2 acres from Single
Family Residential Medium Density and a portion of Floodplains and Streams to
the Office land use designation. The Comprehensive Plan calls for a Floodplains
and Streams land use on the portion of land proposed to be rezoned from R-1,
Single-Family Residential to A-O, Agricultural Open. As such the rezoning is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood: The proposed
rezoning is compatible with the adjacent A-P, Administrative Professional and R-
1, Single-Family Residential zoning districts. The adjacent property to the north
is currently developed as Offices with an existing single-family neighborhood to
the east. This rezoning would be a continuation of the existing office
development to the north and is constrained by the floodplain to the south.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses
permitted by the district that would be made applicable by the proposed
amendment: On November 24th, 2008 City Council approved a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment to change the Land Use from Single Family Residential,
Medium Density and a portion of Floodplains and Streams to Office. As such an
A-P, Administrative Professional zoning district is considered to be suitable for
the subject property. Additionally, the portion proposed to be rezoned from R-1,
111
Single-Family Residential to A-O, Agricultural Open is appropriate based on the
Comprehensive Plan calling for Floodplains & Streams as the intended land use.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses
permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the
proposed amendment: The subject property’s current zoning district limits
the potential for development to single family residential development for the
area zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential and to agricultural, low-intensity
residential, or open space uses for the area zoned A-O, Agricultural Open.
Single-Family Residential land uses are generally not appropriate along freeways
as they are not dependent on good access to freeway and major arterials like
commercial and office land uses are. The portion of the property being rezoned
from R-1, Single-Family Residential to A-O, Agricultural Open is appropriate due
to the land being in FEMA identified floodplain.
5. Marketability of the property affected by the amendment for uses
permitted by the district applicable to the property at the time of the
proposed amendment: The applicant is seeking to enhance the marketability
of the property through the proposed zone change. The applicant intends to
market the property for office uses.
6. Availability of water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation
facilities generally suitable and adequate for the proposed use: There
are existing water and sewer mains to serve this property. The subject tract has
frontage on Earl Rudder Freeway and may take access to either Earl Rudder
Freeway and/or North Forest Parkway via shared access easements with the
northern adjacent property. The proposed land use will only generate 55 trips
per peak hour, which is short of the 150 trip threshold that would trigger a
Traffic Impact Analysis.
The subject tract is located in the Carters Creek Drainage Basin. There is FEMA
regulated Special Flood Hazard Area located on a portion of this tract.
Development of this tract will be required to meet the City’s Storm Water Design
Guidelines.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Community Park Zones
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion to consider
an ordinance regarding the addition of Community Park Zones as a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to the Recreation, Park and Open Space Master Plan, an element of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation(s): The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously
recommended approval of the Community Park Zones as specified in the proposed
ordinance at their January 14, 2009 meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously recommended approval at their February 5, 2009 meeting. Staff also
recommends approval of an ordinance amending the Recreation, Park and Open Space
Master Plan element of the City of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan to include
Community Park Zones.
Summary: On December 11, 2008, City Council approved Ordinance No. 3139 amending
Chapter 9, Subdivisions of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by
amending Section 10, Park Land Dedication which increased fees, added community park
land dedication and changed floodplain dedication ratios with adoption on January 1, 2009.
Because of these ordinance changes, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is recommended to
create four Community Park Zones. Park Zones are established by the City’s
Comprehensive Plan in the Recreation, Park and Open Space Master Plan. They are
configured to indicate service areas for community parks, and the boundaries are
established using major thoroughfares, existing Neighborhood Park Zones and the ETJ
boundaries.
On January 14, 2009, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously recommended
approval of the proposed Community Park Zones as submitted by staff. On February 5,
2009, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed Community Park Zones also.

Wolf Pen Creek Corridor Water Feature and Festival Area
Proposal Presentation
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation
Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding Wolf Pen Creek
Corridor Water Feature and Festival Area Proposal, as requested by Council at the January
12, 2009 meeting.
Recommendation(s): Staff requests that the City Council approve the Wolf Pen Creek Tax
Increment Finance Board’s recommendation for incorporation of the Wolf Pen Creek Corridor
Water Feature into the Festival Area as per the approved Wolf Pen Creek Master Plan with
the necessary funding for the project to be provided by the already allocated funds for the
Water Feature and any remaining revenues to be derived from the ending balance of the
WPC TIF Fund.
Summary: The City of College Station has a large investment in the Wolf Pen Creek
Corridor. One of the pending projects for the Corridor is the development of a $1.2 million
water feature to be built somewhere inside the Corridor itself. The development of this
water feature was a condition of the land acquisition of a land parcel that was needed for
the construction of some of the WPC Upper Trails System. The Wolf Pen Creek Tax
Increment Finance Board (WPC TIF Board), the Wolf Pen Creek Oversight Committee, the
Planning & Zoning /Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Joint Subcommittee and the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board have all had numerous meetings to discuss this project.
The WPC Corridor Water Feature Proposal consists of an interactive water feature with rock
and wolves incorporated into the final design in keeping with the design standard that
already exists in the Corridor. It will be designed to be enjoyed in multiple levels of
interaction – driving, jogging, walking, sitting and getting wet. The project is proposed to
be an integral part of the Festival Area as per the recommendations of the WPC TIF Board,
the WPC Oversight Committee, the Planning & Zoning /Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
Joint Subcommittee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The development of the
Festival Area would be funded by the remaining funds derived from the WPC TIF District
revenues that are to be realized before the WPC TIF Fund is due to expire in December 31,
2009.
Budget & Financial Summary: The City has $1.2 million allocated from the WPC TIF
Fund for the development of this water feature. The remaining estimated $2.4 million to be
used for the Festival Area Project is derived from the anticipated ending balance of the WPC
TIF Fund revenues. These two projects will be combined into one project and utilize the
funds derived from all of the anticipated WPC TIF Fund revenues. The Water Feature and
Festival Area Project needs to be under financial obligation prior to the scheduled expiration
of the WPC TIF Fund on December 31, 2009.
