Notary Public in and for the State of Texas 14 July 9, 2009 Consent Agenda Item No. 2e Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) Temporary Speed Limit To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Mark Smith, Director of Public Works Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on consideration of an ordinance temporarily amending Chapter 10, Section 3E (2)(e), of the College Station Code of Ordinances by changing the posted speed limit on the section of Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818) between Welsh Avenue and Holleman Drive to 45 mph for the duration of TxDOT’s FM 2818 Grade Separation project. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment. Summary: TxDOT is currently constructing a bridge over Wellborn Road (FM 2154) and the adjacent railroad. The completed project will allow traffic on FM 2818 to go over the railroad and Wellborn Road on a bridge, thus traffic on FM 2818 will no longer have to stop for vehicles on Wellborn Road or one of the 24 trains per day crossing FM 2818. To improve safety of the construction crews in the area as well as the motoring public traveling through the work zone, TxDOT has asked the City to temporarily reduce the speed limit in the work zone from 60 to 45 mph. This lower speed limit will also allow TxDOT to place a low-profile concrete barrier at the edge of the work zone to further improve the safety of construction crews and motorists. The TxDOT manual, Procedures for Establishing Speed Zones, describes the process for establishing a construction speed zone within an incorporated city, which includes two options. A city may establish a construction speed zone by adopting an ordinance or by making a request to TxDOT. The accompanying ordinance establishes a temporary 45 mph construction speed zone along a section of FM 2818, beginning on the west side of the Welsh Avenue intersection and extending to Holleman Drive. The construction speed zone is temporary, becoming effective 10 days from the date of passage of the ordinance and expiring after the completion of the TxDOT construction project. Budget & Financial Summary: No expenditure of City funds is necessary or associated with this item. Attachments: 1. Ordinance 2.

The total cost of construction for Fire Station # 6 is projected to be $6,900,000. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the application and acceptance of the grant if awarded from the Department of Homeland Security and recommends the City Council to authorize and designate the Fire Chief or their designee, to sign agreements with the Department of Homeland Security for these grants on behalf of the City of College Station. Summary: The City of College Station has prepared a Grant Application in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security who is responsible to administer the grant funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which has provided FEMA with $210 million to fund the construction and modifications of Fire Stations. The purpose of this grant program is to strategically increase the safety of the firefighters and the communities that they serve. As such, all program priorities focus on the timeliness of the implementation of the construction project, the effect the new or modified facility will have on the health and safety of the firefighters, the number of firehouses in the surrounding area, as well as the benefit the new or modified facility will have on the protection of the community. Budget & Financial Summary: This Fire Station Grant process is competitive, grant requests for projects in which the applicant already owns the property will be given additional consideration for approval. If the Grant is awarded, the City of College Station would receive $3,200,000 from the DHS grant and the City of College Station would be responsible for the balance of the construction cost of $3,700,000 to complete the construction of Fire Station # 6.

Recommendation(s): Staff is recommending that the Tauber and Stasney Street Rehabilitation Project proceed according to Option B, as this alternative meets most of the goals of the project, minimizes the negative impacts to the adjacent property owners, and is in compliance with the ordinances that private development must follow. However, based on some of the feedback from the public engagement process, some stakeholders expressed a preference for Option C Summary: Section 5.6.B.5.a (page 5-16) of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) states "Existing head-in parking that requires backing maneuvers into a right-of-way shall be removed with all proposed development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, and façade projects within any Northgate district". The term rehabilitation is defined in the Ordinance, but it does not clearly identify whether City funded capital projects, initiated to improve safety and the reliability of city services, and are considered a rehabilitation project. The Northgate Parking Plan, adopted by Council in March 2000, and referenced in the UDO, requires the removal of all on-street parking in residential areas in Northgate, which is the section of Northgate zoned NG-3. The segments along Tauber and Stasney between Cross and Cherry Street are zoned NG-3. On December 11, 2008 staff came before Council seeking direction on the Tauber and Stasney Street Rehabilitation Project, specifically to the question of whether or not this, and other City initiated rehabilitation project, should require the removal of existing parking. Council indicated that the UDO should apply to City funded capital projects. Staff then requested 90 days to engage landowners in Northgate who may be impacted by the project, to discuss the potential impacts and benefits of the project, and to gather their input. Staff presented the Council with three design alternatives to accomplish the goals established with this project on April 9, 2009. Council discussed the alternatives and ultimately requested that staff bring this item, and the alternatives presented in the presentation, back in the form of a public hearing. On April 23, 2009 staff presented the same three design alternatives in a public hearing. Council requested that staff attempt to identify more alternatives that would allow for more on-street parking, include sidewalks, and the 26-feet wide travel lane required by the City’s emergency responders. Since April 23, 2009, staff has met with each of the property owners, or the designated representative(s) of the owner, along Tauber and Stasney to discuss alternative solutions and the impacts to their property, and to discuss the possibility of right-of-way and/or access easement dedications. Several land owners indicated a willingness to dedicate a few feet of land in the form of an access easement to facilitate the construction of new 28 sidewalks, but none were willing to dedicate enough land so the ROW can be expanded enough to construct two 8-feet wide sidewalks, two 8-feet wide parallel parking rows, and a 26-feet wide travel lane required by the by the City’s emergency responders. Based on our discussions with the stakeholders, staff has developed one new design alternative to accomplish the goals of the project, and attempt to meet the needs of the property owners, to the extent possible. The Council is familiar with Options A and B below, as these alternatives were presented on April 9th and 23rd. Option C is a new alternative. A brief summary of the alternatives is listed below. Option A: · Mill the old pavement and overlay with a new asphalt surface. · Replace the water and sewer utilities. · Address the pavement grade issues along Tauber between Cross and Cherry. · Do not construct new sidewalks or install street trees along either street. · All head-in parking and parallel parking will remain. · Maintain two-way traffic along Tauber and Stasney. · This option will require a clarification to the definition of a rehabilitation project in the UDO. · Option does not require additional ROW. · Option will not result in the permanent loss of any parking spaces along Tauber or Stasney. Option B: · Remove head-in parking along Tauber and Stasney - replace/keep parallel parking where possible along Tauber and Stasney (Parallel parking will be provided on one side of Stasney between University and Cherry. Parallel parking will be provided on one side of Tauber between University and Church, two sides of Tauber between Church and Cross, and one side of Tauber between Cross and Cherry). · Amend the Northgate Parking Plan to allow for on-street parking in NG-3 along one side of Tauber and one side of Stasney. · 8-feet wide sidewalks with street trees along Stasney. · 8-feet sidewalks with street trees along Tauber between Church and Cherry. · The majority of the sidewalk along the east side of Tauber between University and Church will not be modified; the sidewalk on the west side of Tauber between University and Church will be reconstructed to a width of 7-feet. Existing 6” to 8” caliper live oaks immediately behind the sidewalk on the east side of Tauber between University and Church will be preserved. · New concrete pavement on Tauber and Stasney. · Replace the water and sewer utilities · Construct a new storm sewer system along Tauber and Stasney. · Maintain two-way traffic along Tauber and Stasney. · This option does not require an amendment to the UDO. · This option will require a small amount of additional ROW and/or an access easement along Tauber near Cherry Street. · This option will result in the loss of approximately 137 parking spaces along Tauber and Stasney. Option C: · Remove head-in parking along Tauber and Stasney - replace/keep parallel parking where possible along Tauber and Stasney (Parallel parking will be provided on two sides of Stasney between University and Cherry. Parallel 29 parking will be provided on two sides of Tauber between University and Cross, and one side of Tauber between Cross and Cherry). · 4-feet wide sidewalks on both sides of the Stasney from University to Cherry. Street trees will not be included along Stasney. · 8-feet sidewalks with street trees along Tauber between Church and Cross. · 4-feet wide sidewalks on the east and west side of Tauber between University and Church. This will require a dedication of 1 to 2 feet of ROW (to accommodate the construction of 42-feet of pavement) and 5 to 6 feet of land to be dedicated in the form of an access easement by property owners on both sides of the ROW (to allow the existing sidewalks on private property to be reconstructed). The existing 6” to 8” caliper live oaks immediately behind the sidewalk on the east side of Tauber between University and Church will be preserved. · Amend the Northgate Parking Plan to allow for on-street parking in NG-3 along one side of Tauber and two sides of Stasney. · New concrete pavement. · Replace the water and sewer utilities. · Construct a new storm sewer system along Tauber and Stasney. · Maintain two-way traffic along Tauber and Stasney. · This option does require an amendment to the UDO. · This option will require a small amount of additional ROW and an access easement along Tauber between University and Church. · This option will result in the loss of approximately 96 parking spaces along Tauber and Stasney. Budget & Financial Summary: The current project budget for the Tauber and Stasney Street Rehabilitation Project is $3,058,128. Funds in the amount of $572,840.70 have been expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of $2,485,287.30 in the project budget. Attachments: 1.

Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this ordinance amendment with the primary benefit of enhanced flood hazard protection. Summary: At the June 25, 2009 Council requested two additional revisions to the proposed ordinance including: (1) Explicitly stating that the subject ordinance applies to both public and private projects, and (2) Proposed street and public utility encroachments in the Floodway shall be exempted from the requirement of a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) provided that an engineering report demonstrates that the encroachments shall not result in any increase in water surface elevation or flood hazard. Note that all requirements associated with an encroachment into the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area would apply as well. The following further summarizes the ordinance amendment proposal as presented in the June 25th City Council Meeting: (1) To restrict the following activities that would have an adverse impact on the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area: a. increased flood elevation, b. increased Special Flood Hazard Area, c. decreased conveyance capacity, d. decreased storage volume, and e. increased velocities; (2) To exempt the above restrictions: a. Where the adverse impact is wholly contained: 1. on the subject property, 2. on a property where its owner joins the associated development permit application which causes, quantifies, and outlines the adverse impact, 3. within a Private Drainage Easement which is specified to be privately owned and maintained, and is recorded at the Brazos County Court House, or 4. within the Public Right-of-Way; 32 b. For tracts platted prior to the effective date. So, subsequent Site Plans, Development Permits, and Building Permits on grandfathered tracts would be exempt from these proposed amendments. (3) To require that approved mitigation such as excavation, must be properly approved and occur prior to any approved encroachment or fill is placed in the construction sequencing. (4) To require an Engineer’s Certification of Compaction of fill in accordance with FEMA Technical Bulletin 10-01 for proposed fill activities encroaching into the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area or the Ultimate Base Floodplain area; (5) To quantify that Conditional Letters of Map are required for modification of any watercourse where total of 300 feet reach or more of channelization or closing within a culvert; (6) To establish that the City Engineer is the Administrator of the Flood Hazard Ordinance. Lastly, similar to one of the exemptions above, the effective date for this ordinance has a proposed 120 day effective date from adoption to further enable projects underway to not be influenced.

Stakeholder Minutes Summary 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 No Adverse Impacts Stakeholder Meeting Monday, April 13, 2009 11:30 am Staff present: City Engineer Alan Gibbs, Sr. Assistant City Engineer Carol Cotter, Graduate Civil Engineer Erika Bridges, Drainage Inspector Donnie Willis, Neighborhood Services Coordinator Barbara Moore, Director of Capital Projects Chuck Gilman, Greenways Program Manager Venessa Garza, First Assistant City Attorney Mary Ann Powell, Staff Assistants Deborah Grace-Rosier, Brittany Caldwell, and Nicole Padilla City Council Members present: John Crompton and David Ruesink Stakeholders present: Veronica Morgan, Joel Mitchell, Chuck Ellison, Hunter Goodwin, Dale Browne, Fred Paine, Paul Kaspar, Steven Davis, Henry Wittner, Doris Watson, Parviz Vessali, Rebecca Riggs, Danielle Singh, James Batenhorst, Kent Laza, Jeremy Peters, Ani Dutta, Jesse Durden, Chris Harris, Kim Jacobs, Mike Davis, Chris Wilde, Brandon Hilbrich, Ralph Wurbs, Jeff Robertson, and Steve Duncan Presentation by Alan Gibbs discussing primary intent of meeting to hear public feedback on No Adverse Impact draft ordinance as directed by City Council at their March 12th meeting. Mr. Gibbs discussed the five future floodplain initiatives that are under consideration: Speculative Fill Policy, Riparian Buffer/Setback, Increased Free-Board, Future Conditions Modeling, and Parallel Open Space between the creek and developments. Current floodplain management initiatives he mentioned as currently under way include: the Tree Preservation Ordinance, Application to FEMA to become CRS Community, the Greenways Master Plan, Drainage/Floodplain Management in the ETJ, Green College Station, Parks Acquisition/Dedication, the Stormwater Management Plan, the TPDES Committee membership, and FEMA Map Modernization. To preface the discussion about the proposed ordinance, Mr. Gibbs stated that by definition No Adverse Impact seeks to go beyond federal and state minimum requirements and provide a higher level of protection for citizens and prevent increased flooding presently and in the future. He discussed the following changes which are proposed under the draft ordinance: 46 · Restrict activities in the Special Flood Hazard Area so that: Flood Elevation not increased, Special Flood Hazard Area not increased, Conveyance Capacity should not be decreased, Storage Volume should not be decreased, and Velocities should not be increased. Exemptions include if negative impacts are contained on subject property or within Public ROW and grandfathered for tracts platted prior to 120 days after passage of the ordinance. · Prohibiting removal of trees and vegetation for mitigation of encroachments. · Requirement of Engineer’s Certification of Compaction in accordance with FEMA Technical Bulletin. · Mitigation constructed prior to other proposed site improvements. · Clarify that CLOMRs are required for 300-ft channel or culvert modification. · Utilize Future Conditions Floodplain Model, if available, in lieu of BFEs for Elevation Certificates and Minimum Finished Floor Elevations. · Defining what the Future Conditions elevation is and Mannings Roughness Coefficient. · Clarify that the City Engineer is the Flood Ordinance Administrator. Open forum: Initial presentation brought about discussion regarding the wording of the draft ordinance amendment and future conditions. 1. Comment regarding language used for grandfathered properties which were platted 120 days prior to passage of the ordinance. Chuck Ellison suggested that the phrase “prior to” be removed from the draft ordinance if this really refers to tracts platted up to 120 days after the passage of the ordinance. Mr. Gibbs indicated that he would verify the language. 2. Question about encroachment in Future Conditions models. Veronica Morgan expressed concern about the way the draft ordinance is worded. Her understanding is that encroachment would not be permitted on property currently outside the Special Flood Hazard area but included in that area in the Future Conditions model. Mr. Gibbs clarified stating that floodplain encroachment would still be permitted, but would need to follow all ordinance requirements. 47 3. Question if Future Conditions models would account for site specific or regional detention facilities. Fred Paine questioned whether Future Conditions models without construction of flood detention structures accounted for site specific or regional detention. Mr. Gibbs referenced a federal court ruling in which detention was left out of their definition of Future Conditions based on a regional mitigation effort. If there is only a “planned” regional detention facility, you cannot take credit through the model for detention until it is actually built. 4. Question regarding how Future Conditions model would be developed. Rebecca Riggs asked how the City anticipated creating the Future Conditions models for all of the local watersheds. Alan Gibbs responded that it would most likely be done by individual watershed or at least by tributary. He anticipates updating the hydrology for future conditions and using the existing HEC-RAS models. Ms. Morgan replied that hydrology and cross-sections would both need to be updated to reflect current and future conditions since so much development has occurred since they were developed. Mr. Gibbs commented that the City may be able to OP more extensive studies where LOMRs are already being prepared and it wouldn’t be much additional work to model the remaining tributary. Mr. Gibbs also mentioned that despite our detention policies, flows within the channels continue to rise. Future Conditions modeling is a way to address some of this increased flow. 5. Concern that increasing floodplain in areas due to Future Conditions modeling, and not accounting for required detention on the site, would in effect be “double dipping.” Fred Paine said that most site development requires detention, and it seems like “double dipping” to increase floodplain on sites but not account for detention. Mr. Gibbs responded that H&H modeling does not typically account for small commercial and residential detention and proposed Future Conditions modeling would be consistent with that practice. Mr. Paine likened this concept to providing site detention under proposed conditions because it is a requirement, but modeling the site without 48 taking it into account because detention may not work. Mr. Gibbs indicated that the City is open to utilizing a more detailed model. 6. Concern that Future Conditions modeling for upstream properties would increase floodplain on unrelated sites downstream which would be “exaction” of property. Chuck Ellison reiterated the concerns of Veronica Morgan and Fred Paine asking why floodplain would be increased in a fully developed model if post-development flows be equal to or less the pre-development flows. He went on to state that increasing the floodplain downstream to account for upstream development would be an illegal exaction of land. Mr. Gibbs responded that in future conditions models, it would not make sense to account for the benefits of regional detention which is not yet built because it may not be built. Furthermore, not all properties require detention and take flows back to pre-development rates. Some properties lie in areas where detention is not required and it becomes a timing issue with the rapid conveyance. 7. Comment that ordinance language should be changed to utilize updated existing conditions rather than future conditions. Veronica Morgan suggested that the language be changed in the ordinance to not include Future Conditions. She said that the ordinance could be reworded to reflect updated Existing Conditions and that would alleviate concerns about how a Future Conditions model should be built. Mr. Gibbs stated that the intent at this point was to collect comments and possibly redraft the language. He also added that this method is being used in communities across the state and nation, so he is comfortable that it was not an exaction issue. Mark Smith stated that the draft ordinance that was presented refers to Future Conditions, but the ordinance would be operating under Existing Conditions until the new model was adopted by Council. He said that there would be separate discussions later regarding Future Conditions design methodology. Mr. Smith indicated that this is only one part of the No Adverse Impacts Toolkit, but it would benefit the community and reduce flood risk. 8. Comment that new ordinance should not be adopted until Future Conditions model is complete. Chuck Ellison suggested that it may be better to amend the Flood Hazard ordinance later after there the Future Conditions model is complete. 49 Mr. Smith agreed and reiterated that the Future Conditions model design would be debated in the future and the ordinance would operate under the Existing Conditions model. Mr. Gibbs also agreed that the Future Conditions should probably be removed from the Flood Ordinance until the model is ready. 9. Comment about use of Future Conditions model in other cities. Veronica Morgan stated that Future Conditions models in other cities are used as a basis for raising the BFE, etc. but do not preclude development in the floodplain. Mark Smith agreed and stated that the City has used a similar approach as Future Conditions in the past with excess freeboard requirements. He said he could also see using the Future Conditions model in bridge and culvert design. Alan Gibbs mentioned that the City of Plano is an example of a city with a more stringent ordinance. They require that all Future Conditions floodplain areas be dedicated to the City, which is more aggressive than what is being proposed by the City of College Station. He also stated that the City had considered proposing that developers to provide Future Conditions models for the entire basin when a LOMR is being done, but ultimately felt that it was too onerous. 10. Question about permitting removal of vegetation in a case where channel improvements and mitigation are proposed. Veronica Morgan proposed a scenario where a development is proposing a floodplain encroachment but mitigating with upper bank improvements (above the high water mark) and some additional storage volume. As the ordinance reads, Ms. Morgan feels that this would be allowed although she would be removing some vegetation. Mr. Gibbs stated the ordinance was trying to keep people from clear- cutting trees only as means to drop the n-value as their sole form of mitigation. He suggested that language be included in the ordinance to allow channel improvements and also stated that the ordinance was not actually prohibiting trees from being removed. Fred Paine mentioned that he submitted a LOMR and FEMA told him reduce the “n” value to reflect the existing conditions on the site. Mr. responded that a separate model could be submitted to the City in which n-values were not reduced. 50 Ms. Morgan questioned how a bridge crossing and associated channel improvements could be accomplished without removing trees. Mark Smith responded that removing vegetation would be fine in that case because you aren’t removing the vegetation for the purpose of lowering the n-value. Mr. Smith stated that this regulation would go beyond FEMA requirements. The City wants to achieve Zero Rise, but does not want to sacrifice vegetation to do it. He said there are two objectives: to not increase flood rise and less removal of vegetation in greenbelts in College Station. Both objectives are related, but not necessarily hard- wired together. Some trees will have to be removed when doing channel improvements. Fred Paine suggested that some sort of “Tree Protection Line” be required that would prevent removal of trees beyond a certain point. Mr. Gibbs clarified that this was not intended as a complete Tree Ordinance, but currently there was a Tree Ordinance being drafted. He added that there was language included in the ordinance that would exempt rise occurring in the right-of-way. Joel Mitchell commented that the language in the ordinance regarding removal of vegetation to lower n-values was written backwards. He feels that Zero Rise cannot be achieved without channel improvements, but channel improvements cannot occur without removal of vegetation. Mr. Gibbs agreed that the language needed to be clearer in establishing the difference between removals of vegetation for channel improvements and clear-cutting to reduce n-values. Mr. Mitchell offered to aide in revising this language. There seemed to be a consensus that some sort of riparian buffer (either including the entire floodplain or 50-ft off of the centerline of the creek) may be the best option. 11. Question concerning where LOMR would be required. Mike Davis questioned when conditional LOMRs would be required and if this applies to any channel or waterway upstream. Alan Gibbs responded that currently Conditional LOMRs are only required when a watercourse is modified and only applies to FEMA Special Flood Hazard areas. A suggestion was made that more specific wording be added to the ordinance as to where this would be required. Mr. Gibbs stated that this 51 should only apply to Special Flood Hazard areas that should be applied to the entire section of the ordinance without adding additional verbage. Fred Paine asked if the ordinance would apply to areas that are waterways but not currently considered FEMA Special Flood Hazard zones or haven’t been studied. Mr. Gibbs said that the ordinance would not apply to those areas as drafted. 12. Concern that incidental effects may occur on adjacent property when altering floodplain. Mike Davis raised the concern that any changes made to the floodplain on one property would cause some sort of effect (i.e. increased velocity or rise) on an adjacent property. What effects on an adjacent property would be permitted? Mr. Gibbs responded that FEMA considers Zero Rise as a 0.02-foot or less rise (since it rounds to zero). The way the language in the ordinance is drafted, the City would be able to use FEMA’s interpretation of Zero Rise. 13. Concern that adjacent property owner may not want to plat in order to allow improvements on their site. Veronica Morgan stated that the language to allow purchase or easement on an adjacent property owner’s land was not included in the ordinance. She expressed concern that she would have a hard time proceeding with development if she had to get adjacent property owners to plat as well. Could an easement or something be permitted on the adjacent property? Mr. Gibbs stated that language may be able to be added to allow the adjacent property owner to be a co-applicant without triggering the platting requirement. Ultimately, the items that trigger platting would be a legal and planning issue. Mark Smith commented that if easements were granted, it would be preferred that they were granted between property owners rather than from a property owner to the City. Ms. Morgan concurred. 14. Concern about the equitability of the ordinance. Hunter Goodwin commented that the City is the primary developer within the floodplain but would not have to follow the constraints of the Flood Hazard and Tree Ordinances. He added that it would be costly for a developer to remove trees in the floodplain and mitigate, but the City would not incur costs for doing the same. 52 Alan Gibbs responded that the City would have to follow the same regulations as the development community. Mark Smith added that the City may have to look at transferring money into the Greenways Fund or something similar to mitigate for its development in the floodplain. Meeting closed 2:00pm. Enclosures (2) 53 July 9, 2009 Regular Agenda Item No. 3 Hike & Bike Trail Completion Professional Services Contract and a Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with Proceeds From Debt To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Chuck Gilman, Director of Capital Projects Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion concerning a resolution awarding the professional services contract (Contract No. 09-241) with Bury + Partners, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $112,133 for engineering design services for the Hike & Bike Trail Completion Project (ST-0904) and approval of a resolution declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends Council approval of the resolution and award of the professional services contract to Bury+Partners, Inc and recommends approval of the resolution declaring intention to reimburse certain expenditures with proceeds from debt. Summary: The Hike & Bike Trail Completion Project was part of the 2008 bond authorization to implement projects identified by the Hike & Bike Task Force and adopted by Council on November 23, 2004. The high priority project identified for completion is a portion of Bee Creek Greenway Trail along the north side of the FM 2818 corridor from Welsh Ave. to Texas Ave. This project is also identified on the Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan. Staff recommends award for professional services to begin design of this facility. This project aims to create and increase safe and convenient multi-modal transportation options within the City. The greenway trail will connect key destinations including A&M Consolidated High School, Bee Creek Park as well as residential and commercial property along this corridor. It will also connect to improvements underway along Longmire, including intersection improvements at FM 2818 and the bridge crossing Bee Creek, which will further increase multi-modal connectivity throughout the city. This also provides the opportunity to address concerns from students at A&M Consolidated who spoke at the May 18th City council meeting in need for a place to walk and bike along this corridor. Budget & Financial Summary: This project is funded from the 2008 Bond Authorization in the amount of $1,000,000. Funds in the amount of $333,000 have been appropriated this fiscal year for the design of the trail. $1,302.80 have been expended or committed to date, leaving a balance of $331,697.20 for this contract award and other FY09 expenses. The balance of the budget will be appropriated in future fiscal years. The “Resolution Declaring Intention to Reimburse Certain Expenditures with Proceeds from Debt” is necessary for this item because the long term debt has not been issued for the project. The debt for the project is scheduled to be issued later this fiscal year and future fiscal years. Attachments: 1.) Resolution 2.) Project Location Map 3.)

Recommendation(s): The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends that staff- identified and developer-requested code amendments be pursued. Summary: The annual review of the Unified Development Ordinance is required by the ordinance to provide for an on-going effort to keep the development codes of the City of College Station current and relevant. The UDO also calls for an annual review of the Comprehensive Plan, which was recently completed through the consideration and adoption of the Comprehensive Plan update on May 28, 2009. The last annual review was considered by City Council on June 12, 2008. A list of amendments to the UDO since that time, along with pending amendments, staff-proposed amendments, and developer-requested amendments, is included as an attachment. A second attachment describes the type of code amendments that will be necessary to help reach the goals of the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan.

Design Review Board Membership (August 6, 2008) Article 2 Development Review Bodies was amended to provide flexibility in Design Review Board member positions. Those with architectural and landscape architectural experience and/or education can now fulfill the roles of “architect” and “landscape architect” (respectively) on the Board. Also, the position with a design district connection has been expanded to allow the services of business owners within a design district. 2. Historic Preservation Enabling Ordinance (September 11, 2008) Articles 2 Development Review Bodies, 3 Development Review Procedures, 4 Zoning Districts, 5 District Purpose Statements and Supplemental Standards, 10 Enforcement, and 11 Definitions were amended to create a Historic Preservation Overlay Zoning District that may be used to preserve historically significant sites and areas in the City. Included in this amendment was the creation of a Landmark Commission and the processes involved to receive Certificates of Appropriateness and Certificates of Demolition. 3. Traffic Impact Analysis (October 23, 2008) Article 7 General Development Standards was amended to require traffic impact analyses for all rezoning and site plan proposals projected to exceed 150 vehicle trips in the peak hour. It established the trip generation rates that are used for rezoning requests, identified what is required in the TIA, specified how the TIA is analyzed, and how traffic impacts are mitigated. 4. Master Plans and ETJ Issues in the UDO and Subdivision Regulations (November 5, 2008) The Subdivision Regulations and the Unified Development Ordinance were amended to remove master plans and amend standards relating to the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, including the minimum lot size, minimum lot width, and allowable street design. 5. Parkland Dedication in the Subdivision Regulations (December 11, 2008) The Subdivision Regulations and Code of Ordinances were amended to update the Parkland Dedication Ordinance. Included in these amendments were new dedication requirements and fees and the addition of provisions for community parks. 6. Subdivision Regulations into the UDO (December 16, 2008) The provisions of the Subdivision Regulations were moved into the UDO and deleted as a separate chapter in the Code of Ordinances. Procedural changes to the regulations (such as the requirement of title reports to subdivide and the alignment of permit timeframes with the TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE) were also made at this time. 7. Detention Pond Aesthetics (January 22, 2009) Article 7 General Development Standards was amended to remove detention pond screening requirements, provide alternatives to existing material and design options to support green development, and add regulations regarding exposed concrete involved in storm water management facilities. 61 8. Alcohol Sales in Wolf Pen Creek and Residential Northgate (March 26, 2009) Articles 6 Use Regulations and 11 Definitions were amended to make retail sales of alcohol, nightclub, and tavern uses subject to Conditional Use Permits in the Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) zoning district (with the exception sales on City-owned premises), and to prohibit the retail sale of alcohol in the Residential Northgate (NG-3) zoning district. 9. Sign Ordinance (May 18, 2009) Articles 7 Development Standards and 11 Definitions were amended to allow signage for real estate related events and to allow government facilities located on agricultural- or residentially- zoned property to have attached signage. Pending Amendments to the UDO 10. Tree Preservation With direction from City Council on January 10, 2008, a toolkit of tree preservation measures has been explored, three public meetings have been held to gather input, and Staff has presented information regarding options for the amendment four times to City Council. At a public hearing on the matter on May 18, 2009, Council provided direction that they wish to consider an ordinance amendment that would protect trees in riparian areas, require at least two trees per new single family lot, allow more credit for preserved trees (excluding sensitive post oaks) on developing sites, and provide credit for landscape plans prepared by landscape architects or similar professionals. 11. Phase II of the Subdivision Regulations update The first phase of the update to the Subdivision Regulations was to align them with the requirements of the TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE and to integrate them into the Unified Development Ordinance. The second phase will be to update the regulations, which have not been considered comprehensively for update since their inception in the 1970s. Phase Three will eventually align the subdivision regulations with the goals of the newly-adopted Comprehensive Plan. 12. Enhanced development standards for dense, small-lot single family residential development The Strong and Sustainable Neighborhoods Implementation Program included an action statement, to begin in 2009, to develop higher development standards for single family developments susceptible to conversion to rental units. These were to include items such as no parking zones concurrent upon recording of plats, designated overflow parking areas, mandatory alleys, off-street parking tied to number of bedrooms, and maximum lot coverage. These standards could be lessened or waived if the development was subjected to a zoning prohibition against two or more unrelated individuals residing in the homes. 13. Parking Lot Berms After a presentation by Staff to Council on the implementation of non-residential architectural standards, Staff received direction to develop additional requirements for the use of berms for parking lot screening. The proposed ordinance amendments are intended to modify the requirements for parking lot screening required in conjunction with the Non-Residential Architectural Standards. 14. Northgate Ordinance Staff will be scheduled to discuss Northgate regulations with City Council at an upcoming workshop. 62 Staff-Identified Amendments to the UDO 15. Temporary leasing offices for multi-family On several occasions, temporary leasing offices have been requested for multi-family developments on unplatted properties that are part of planned development projects, but not on the apartment communities’ land. An amendment would codify the interpretation staff has made to allow for such temporary uses. 16. Expansion of architectural features for Non-Residential Architectural Standards The Non-Residential Architectural Standards have been in place for almost five years. Staff has noticed that many of the same architectural elements are being utilized to meet the requirements of this code. While the list of architectural features in the ordinance was not intended to be all-inclusive, to propose something other than what is on the list requires another level of review that many building designers or developers choose not to pursue. Staff would like to increase the number of architectural elements on the list to provide more options by right. 17. Permanent storage container area screening As more businesses explore storage containers as permanent solutions to their inventory space needs, Staff has realized that some flexibility in the screening requirements would be beneficial. Planning would like to amend the portable storage structures regulations to adjust screening requirements when visibility of the permanent container area is limited. 18. UDO amendments related to the new Comprehensive Plan A number of amendments will be necessary to implement the vision of a newly adopted Comprehensive Plan. A preliminary list of needed amendments related to this are presented in the attachment “Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan Through the Unified Development Ordinance”. Developer-Requested Amendments to the UDO 19. Signage in Wolf Pen Creek/Signage for Mixed Use Projects Commercial signage in Wolf Pen Creek is required to meet the standard requirements of commercial signage in College Station. When a sign has done this, the Design Review Board determines if it meets the design requirements associated specifically with the Wolf Pen Creek district (such as compatibility with the district and integration into building architecture). Signage for mixed use projects is not addressed in the ordinance. The developer of the Lofts at Wolf Pen Creek has proposed a sign package that in some ways does not fit within the regulations of the UDO, and in other ways does fit within the UDO but is not in compliance. He is requesting that in addition to attached and freestanding signs, banners that project away from the building to be allowed on a permanent basis. Currently, Staff has interpreted the ordinance to allow mixed-use buildings to utilize a mixture of signage. Clarity in sign regulations for mixed uses would be beneficial; but Planning has concerns with proposals that would promote the use of quickly-degrading banner material on a permanent basis and the proliferation of signage. 20. Outdoor Display Outdoor display of items for sale is allowed between the wall of a retail building and five feet from the wall. The developer of Lowe’s has proposed that instead of outdoor display areas being limited in this manner, that the square feet of display area allowed by such a regulation be able to be configured as the retailer wishes. 63 Staff agrees that some flexibility could be allowed through the ordinance, but still feels some limitations should be in place to regulate the number and expanse of such display areas. 21. Hotel/Motel as an Acceptable Use with a Country Club Pebble Creek Country Club is exploring the possibility of a freestanding building on their site that would provide lodging. The integrated use of a few suites into the clubhouse could be considered an accessory use, but a separate commercial facility sharing the site goes beyond on the allowances given for an accessory use. These type of facilities are not uncommon with resorts/some country clubs, but it would stretch the limits of the current ordinance to allow for the facility. The use could currently be pursued through a PDD rezoning and concept plan. If desired, the ordinance could be amended to allow the use by right or through the conditional use process. Staff believes that neighborhoods and surrounding property owners should be informed of such changes and given an opportunity to speak to the City Council through a public hearing before such a use could develop. The conditional use permit process would allow Council (with the recommendation of the P&Z) to decide if such a use were appropriate on a property and if any mitigating efforts would be necessary. This could also be done through a rezoning for a Planned Development District, but a rezoning would be more complex than necessary if the desire is to only address the appropriateness and impact of one use on the site. 22. Recreational vehicle (RV) parks Currently, new RV parks may not develop in the City. The owner of Holiday Park, a manufactured home and RV park at the corner of Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Dowling Road, has requested an amendment to allow RV parks by right within the City limits (the use at this location was annexed in to the City). The use could currently be pursued through a PDD rezoning and concept plan. If desired, the ordinance could be amended to allow the use by right with supplemental standards such as maximum density, setbacks, required buffering, and off- street parking. Regulations regarding RV parks were discussed when the UDO was originally under consideration, but City Council did not support the use in the adopted UDO. An amendment for RV parks was also requested as part of the 2005 Annual Review, but Staff was not given direction to pursue the amendment. 64 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THROUGH THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE The College Station Comprehensive Plan: 2009-2029 is a statement of the community's vision for the future and provides strategic direction to guide change, providing for growth with a high quality of life. Where the Comprehensive Plan is the guiding policy document for decisions made of behalf of the community, the Unified Development Ordinance is the regulatory document used to help implement the vision. Over the next two years, Staff will be researching ordinances, gathering stakeholder input, and drafting ordinance amendments to reach several of the goals of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Amendments will be necessary to carry out several of the employed strategies that are to meet community goals. These amendments fall into five main categories as described below. 1. Zoning districts and their dimensional standards The new Comprehensive Plan partially shifts the land use paradigm for College Station. Land use designations shift from being density/intensity-centered to focusing on density, intensity, and form. As such, some of the zoning districts created to implement old land use designations will no longer be the most relevant tools for the implementation of a new plan. An evaluation of the existing zoning options and their standards will need to take place and appropriate amendments developed, including those for new zoning districts, to realize several goals of the Comprehensive Plan. This will be one of the more complex—but most effective—ways to implement the Plan. 2. Context Sensitive Solutions/Context Sensitive Design As land uses begin to be evaluated in a new way with a new plan, so does the transportation system that supports the emerging pattern. Transportation facilities will still be planned based upon need and with effective routing, but the Comprehensive Plan takes the planning of facilities beyond engineering to add a value-based component. Context Sensitive Design will be incorporated into the UDO’s subdivision regulations (and the related B/CS Unified Design Guidelines) to provide multi-modal transportation system designs that will be employed based upon the context through which the facilities will move. For developed areas that will be retrofitted with transportation facilities or have their facilities expanded or upgraded, code amendments will prescribe a Context Sensitive Solutions process to develop the design appropriate for each unique area. 3. Subdivision regulations Recently, the City’s subdivision regulations have been updated to reflect procedural changes and state code requirements, and have been integrated into the Unified Development Ordinance. Amendments are currently being drafted to modernize the code. Now that a new Comprehensive Plan is adopted, changes will be proposed to align urban design and design standards (including infrastructure design through the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines) with the vision for College Station. Context Sensitive Design will be integrated into subdivision design, but identification of efforts related to this element stands on its own in this document to highlight its significance in the way the citizens, the City, and design will interact. 65 4. General development standards General development standards are those that are considered the minimum necessary to ensure the community’s health, welfare, morals, and safety. These include regulations such as the prohibition of dust coming from a property, the installation of landscaping, the aesthetic design of commercial buildings, and the spacing of driveways. The physical development of the city has a tremendous impact on the perception of the community, and the regulation of site design elements is the most precise tool to affect the built environment. Current regulations will need to be evaluated and new ones explored to provide standards that will help to fulfill the adopted goals of the community. 5. Future amendments The Comprehensive Plan has several action items identifying a need to amend the Unified Development Ordinance, but not all amendments should be immediately pursued. In some instances, existing codes have not been significantly tested to warrant immediate evaluation. Some codes should not explored until after a small area planning process determines their need. Actions calling for amendments such as these will need to be reviewed on a routine basis to evaluate if and when they should be employed. 66 June 4, 2009 P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 2 MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Regular Meeting Thursday, June 4, 2009, 7:00 p.m. City Hall Council Chambers 1101 Texas Avenue College Station, Texas COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: John Nichols, Noel Bauman, Paul Greer, Doug Slack, Winnie Garner, and Hugh Stearns COMMISSIONERS ABSENT: Thomas Woodfin CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: James Massey CITY STAFF PRESENT: Senior Planner Jennifer Prochazka, Staff Planners Jason Schubert and Matthew Hilgemeier, City Engineer Alan Gibbs, Transportation Planning Coordinator Joe Guerra, Planning Administrator Molly Hitchcock, Director Bob Cowell, Assistant Director Lance Simms, First Assistant City Attorney Carla Robinson, Action Center Representative Carrie McHugh, and Staff Assistant Brittany Caldwell Regular Agenda 1. Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding the annual review of the Unified Development Ordinance. Case #09-00500076 (BC) Director Cowell gave a presentation regarding the annual review of the Unified Development Ordinance. He reviewed the approved amendments since June 12, 2008, pending amendments, staff-identified amendments, and developer-requested amendments. He also discussed the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan through the Unified Development Ordinance. The staff-identified amendments consisted of temporary leasing offices for multi-family developments, expansion of architectural features for Non-Residential Architectural Standards, permanent storage container area screening, and UDO amendments related to the new Comprehensive Plan. The developer-requested amendments consisted of signage in Wolf Pen Creek-signage for mixed use projects, outdoor displays, hotel/motel as an acceptable use with a country club, and recreational vehicle (RV) parks. Chairman Nichols opened the public hearing. 67 June 4, 2009 P&Z Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 2 Dwayne Blackman, Lowes, said that the expanded list of architectural features would help and provide more flexibility. He also stated that there is no flexibility in the current outdoor display ordinance. Donald Jones, Holiday RV Park, stated that the RV park is very well maintained and they are looking at expanding. Chairman Nichols closed the public hearing. Commissioner Garner stated that outdoor displays need to have a permanent location. There was general consensus from the Commission that the amendments should be considered. 68 July 9, 2009 Regular Agenda Item No. 5 CSISD Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Facilities for Parks and Recreation Department Recreation Programs To: Glenn Brown, City Manager From: Marco A. Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion to approve an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for Joint Use of Facilities for Parks and Recreation Department Recreation Programs between the City of College Station and the College Station Independent School District (CSISD). Recommendation(s): The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Staff recommend approval of the Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Facilities with CSISD. Summary: The City and CSISD have had numerous Interlocal Agreements in place over many years for various City and CSISD recreation and education programs. One of those agreements is for the joint use of facilities between the two entities. This proposed Interlocal Agreement will consolidate many of those separate agreements into one document. The current agreement was last renewed in 1999. This new agreement will also include exhibits related to the operations of the Kids Klub, Natatorium and XTRA Education Programs. The use of this agreement allows both entities to provide services and programs for their customers in a cost effective manner for all parties. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed and considered this ILA at their June 9, 2009 regular board meeting. They voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve this ILA. Budget & Financial Summary: The impact to the Parks and Recreation Department operations budget for the next fiscal year will be dependent upon the actual use involved of the joint use facilities. There are no changes in the programming of City recreation programs anticipated at this time with relation to this ILA. Attachments: 1. Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Facilities 2.

Recommendation(s): Council move to approve the attached ordinance to issue certificates of obligation. Summary: The City Council is authorized to approve the issuance of certificates of obligation (COs) after approving a resolution directing notice to be published of the intent to issue the COs. On May 28, 2009, Council approved a resolution directing staff to advertise the issuance of COs. On June 5th and 12th such notice was published. The City of College Station typically issues debt to fund various capital projects identified and approved as a part of the annual budget. The City primarily uses three types of debt instruments to fulfill those requirements: 1. General Obligation Bonds (GOBs) are based on the full faith and credit of the City and are paid primarily through the debt service portion of the ad valorem tax rate. GOBs are authorized by the voters and therefore the notice is provided in the election process. 2. Utility Revenue Bonds (URBs) are backed by the revenues of the City's various utilities and are issued as a business activity. These are typically only issued for utility capital projects. 3. Certificates of Obligation (COs) normally include at least one additional revenue stream such as utility revenues, but are considered to be much like GOBs and therefore normally receive a rating similar to GOBs. Our policy for issuing CO's allows more flexibility in their issue than GOBs, particularly when other revenues are anticipated to assist in debt service. It is at the recommendation of the City’s Financial Advisor, Mr. Drew Masterson, that the City issue Certificates of Obligation for utility projects rather than Utility Revenue Bonds. This particular issue will provide resources for technology projects, the cemetery development project, master planning and design of the convention center and a portion of the land acquisition, Twin Oaks landfill project, electric and water improvements, and debt issuance costs totaling $31,315,000. Budget & Financial Summary: Staff reviewed the impact of the Certificates on the City's ability to meet debt service requirements and the effect they may have on the ad valorem tax rate and utility rates. The recommendation to move forward with this issue will not affect the ad valorem tax rate or the utility rates. Attachments: 1. Debt Issuance 2009 2.

Recommendation(s): Council move to approve the attached ordinance issuing general obligation bonds. Summary: The City Council is authorized to approve the issuance of general obligation bonds which have been authorized by a vote of the citizens. The Citizens approved a total of $38,405,000 on November 4, 2003 and $76,950,000 on November 4, 2008. By approving the ordinance, the Council will issue a total of $655,000 from the 2003 authorization and $2,680,000 from the 2008 authorization. This is the sixth bond sale from the 2003 bond authorization and the first from the 2008 bond authorization. The City of College Station typically issues debt to fund various capital projects identified and approved as a part of the annual budget. The City primarily uses three types of debt instruments to fulfill those requirements: 1. General Obligation Bonds (GOBs) are based on the full faith and credit of the City and are paid primarily through the debt service portion of the ad valorem tax rate. GOBs are authorized by the voters and therefore the notice is provided in the election process. 2. Utility Revenue Bonds (URBs) are backed by the revenues of the City's various utilities and are issued as a business activity. These are typically only issued for utility capital projects. 3. Certificates of Obligation (COs) normally include at least one additional revenue stream such as utility revenues, but are considered to be much like GOBs and therefore normally receive a rating similar to GOBs. Our policy for issuing CO's allows more flexibility in their issue than GOBs, particularly when other revenues are anticipated to assist in debt service. This particular debt issue is planned to provide resources for street projects, traffic signal and safety projects, sidewalk improvements, hike and bike trails, and parks and park facilities improvements and the design of fire station #6 totaling $3,335,000. Budget & Financial Summary: Staff reviewed the impact of the general obligation bonds City's ability to meet debt service requirements and the effect they may have on the ad valorem tax rate. The recommendation to move forward with this issue will not impact the ad valorem tax rate. Attachments: 1. Debt Issuance 2009 2.

Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approve this resolution. Summary: Mr. Thomas and Ms. Palasota have each requested the City provide sewer service to their homes, which are located along Cheyenne Drive, which is in the area of Wellborn Road and Capstone Drive. These are existing single family homes, and the sites are not being developed. Their letters, with maps, are attached. Their homes are outside the City’s current certificated area for sewer, but are within the City’s extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The area is presently not certificated and the City has the legal right to provide this sewer service. The home owners will bear all construction cost for infrastructure to connect to the City system. The Water Services Department has recently taken ownership of a sewer line in this area, which is suitable and has adequate capacity for these homes to be connected. Both of these home owners provided easements to the City for the sewer line to be constructed, with the expectation that they would be allowed to tie onto the sewer line. Mr. Thomas signed a non-annexation agreement for a portion of his property, to allow the City to annex the property being developed, adjacent to his property. Neither Mr. Thomas nor Ms. Palasota have plans to develop their properties, but if those plans change, then the City can pursue annexation. City Policy states that the City may provide sewer service outside the City limits or the City’s sewer certificated area, only in certain situations. Since the City does not hold the CCN for this area, an exception to Policy is required. Exceptions are allowed for three cases, one of which is for health and safety reasons. The health and safety of all the area residents are much better served by having these homes connected to the City sewer system, rather than on-site sewage facilities that spray treated effluent. On this basis, staff recommends approval of these requests for an exception to City Policy. Budget & Financial Summary: City funds are not required.
