Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a resolution of the City Council of College Station, Texas approving and setting fees for Parks and Recreation activities and facilities for Calendar Year 2010. Recommendation(s): The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and staff recommend approval of the resolution and fees schedule as submitted. Summary: The Parks and Recreation Department conducts annual reviews of user fees to determine direct costs, as well as local “market” rates for individual programs and facilities. Further, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board established a departmental fees policy statement to provide guidance in the establishment of fees. This policy is consistent with the City’s fiscal and budgetary policy. The Board reviewed the proposed fees on July 14, 2009 and voted 6:1 to recommend approval of the fees submitted for Calendar Year 2010. The Board reviewed the proposed fees again on September 8, 2009 with additional changes made to include a 30% increase across the Board to Regular Rates, a 5% commission fee for Fitness Boot Camp Services, and a $10 Outside League, Per Game Contract Fee. The vote passed 5:3 to recommend approval of the fees as submitted. While the Municipal Cemetery System fees are included in this fee schedule, those fees are acted upon and recommended to the City Council by the Cemetery Advisory Committee as a separate action. These fees are solely included in order to view the Department’s User Fees Schedule in its’ entirety. In City-facilitated athletic programs such as baseball and soccer, the players or teams only pay to the City the respective Field Redevelopment Fee to use City athletic facilities. In City-provided athletic programs such as softball and flag football, the respective Field Redevelopment Fee is included in the registration fee for players or team participation in each sport. The policy issue is: Should the City continue to assess fees for participation in Parks and Recreation Department programs or use of facilities? Budget & Financial Summary: The proposed user fees for Calendar Year 2010 include changes that are detailed in Attachment 1 (Exhibit A). If approved, the new fees will become effective January 1, 2010. Attachments: 1. Resolution with Exhibit A – Proposed Changes to Parks and Recreation Department Fees for Calendar Year 2010 2. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes, July 14, 2009 3. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Minutes, September 8, 2009 4.

Regular Fees Rate were raised 30 % across the board, with a wide range in the amount of the fees increased. Some other rates are not proposed to increase at all. Below is a brief overview of changes in the 2010 fees: Adult Sports and Athletic Field Rentals – Proposed Resident Discount Rates now apply, and some fees were adjusted. Fees for league sports were reduced to allow for the implementation of the “Pay at the Plate” Practice. Cemetery Fees – Rates have changed, however no Resident Discount Rate is proposed. These fees are not being recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board because that recommendation must come from the Cemetery Advisory Committee. Conference Center - No Resident Discount Rate is proposed. Wi-Fi Internet Connection was a fee added for 2010, as well as Equipment Rental Rates. Transfer/Cancellation Fee – This fee was added to those programs that did not have this in 2009 (Lincoln Center, Pool Rentals, EXIT Teen Center Rentals, Xtra Education Classes).

Cisneros, Director, Parks and Recreation Agenda Caption: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a proposed Highway 6/University Dr. Tree Beautification Project update presentation. Recommendation(s): Staff requests that the Council consider postponing this project indefinitely until such time as funding for the required operations and maintenance has been identified. Summary: The City of College Station has a large investment in landscapes, and trees are a critical component of that investment. With that being said, the City is committed to making improvements in these landscapes whenever possible. The State Highway 6 Corridor is the proposed site for a major tree planting effort that would also serve the purpose of providing significant gateways to College Station from the north and south entry points on State Highway 6. This project becomes the first construction project to be implemented as a part of this major tree planting effort. The City Council approved this project on January 8, 2009. This Tree Beautification Project final plans for construction are being discussed with Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) staff since the program is focused on the State Highway 6 Corridor that is the responsibility and falls under the jurisdiction of the state. The AFA for this project was approved by the City Council on August 27, 2009. Upon operations and maintenance funding being secured and Council approval, the project would be bid out in October, 2009 followed by a Bid Award in November, 2009. The actual construction is scheduled to begin in January 2010 and be completed by April, 2010. Budget & Financial Summary: The funding identified for the Phase One landscape construction of this proposed project comes from a combination of the College Station Utilities Wind Watts Program and the CO Bonds allocated to the Gateway Beautification Project. The cost estimate for this phase of construction is $254,474. Once the landscape construction has been completed on a particular portion of the project, the operations and maintenance of the completed landscape improvements would transfer from TXDOT to become solely the City’s responsibility. The O&M for the Phase One construction has an estimated cost of $12,500 to $25,000 per year depending on the final bids. That portion of the project would be dependent upon future General Fund funding that has not been identified and budgeted for. Construction funding for the future phases of this project would be derived from dedicated College Station Utilities Wind Watts revenues of up to $250,000 per year. The final amount available for use would be dependent upon the public’s participation in the Wind Watts Program. Operations and maintenance funding for future phases would be dependent upon General Fund funding that has not been identified and budgeted for yet. Attachments: 1.

Summary: This item is an update to the City Council regarding progress on neighborhood planning. Planning and Development Staff have begun work on the Central College Station Neighborhood Plan. This planning area is bounded by Harvey Mitchell Parkway, Texas Avenue, Rock Prairie Road, and Wellborn Road. Staff has compiled a preliminary summary of work done so far in the Phase 1 Report which will be presented at the meeting. Phase one of the plan involves the preliminary work establishing timelines, preliminary contacts and resource teams, and preliminary background information about the area.

Central College Station Neighborhood Plan, Phase 1 Report 29 uses and design for vacant lands within the neighbor- hood, its area of influence, and for areas appropriate for redevelopment. Neighborhood plans will also aid in the development of actions that will address existing problems and iden- tify enhancement actions within the area of the plan. There are 13 identified neighborhood planning areas within the City. Neighborhood, district, and corridor planning are small area plans focused on ar- eas designated for further review in the College Sta- tion Comprehensive Plan. These plans are intended to serve as the action plans for specific areas focusing on the particular needs and opportunities of the area. Neighborhood planning areas are made up of exist- ing neighborhoods, and adjacent areas of influ- ence, where, generally, it is important to promote and preserve the current land uses, character and iden- tity. Neighborhood plans should also identify appro- priate and compatible land What is Neighborhood, District, and Corridor Planning? July, 2009 City of College Station Planning & Development Services Neighborhood, District, and Corridor Planning District and corridor plans are intended for areas that ex- hibit, or could exhibit, oppor- tunities for a mix of uses with an emphasis on walkability and a unique focus. Corridor planning areas further incor- porate opportunities for re- source protection or recrea- tional activities. Chapter 2, Community Character identi- fies 13 district and corridor planning areas within the City. Below is a graphic of Map 2.1, depicting the NDC planning areas.

City Staff will rely heav- ily on citizen volunteers to help shape the plan. There will be a number of ways to be involved in the planning process both formally and informally. One way to be involved is to volunteer to serve as a member of the Stakeholder Resource Team (SRT). During the first phase of the plan- ning process, City Staff will be working with a planning area to identify individuals committed to the planning process, providing feed- back, and making sure the plan will address the needs and opportunities in the planning area. This role will be time intensive and in- volve a number of meet- ings. For individuals interested in the process, but have less time to dedicate, a number of public meetings will be held throughout the plan- ning process to provide guidance to the Staff and a SRT on the needs, opportuni- ties, and goals of the area. These meetings will be publi- cized through direct mail- ings, emails provided through neighborhood and homeowner associations, as well as the City’s website. If you are interested in these meetings, feel free to con- tact City Staff or a member of the SRT to find out about the agenda, location, time, or place. Contact informa- tion for key City Staff in- volved in the NDC planning process can be found on page 4, and on the City’s website. There will also be opportuni- ties to comment on drafts of all of the elements of the plan. Draft chapters, as well as progress reports will be made available throughout the planning process to members of the SRT, partici- pants in public meetings, and online.

During the adoption of the Com- prehensive Plan, these ar- eas were not prioritized to provide flexibility for the City Council, City Staff, and nomic stability that will help to identify changes or new opportunities that would help to determine when an area might be in need of an in-depth NDC plan. The City will be working to complete at least two NDC plans each year. How can I be involved? How is a planning area chosen? Page 2 Neighborhood, District, and Corridor Planning Every area of the City will be incorporated into a NDC Plan. A Stakeholder Re- source Team will pro- vide input and advice to Staff throughout the process. Public engagement is critical to the success of a NDC plan. A v a r i e t y o f a c t i v i t i e s w i l l o c c u r t o o f f e r i n p u t 31 A typical plan will have at least 6 chapters: • Introduction • Community Character • Neighborhood Integrity • Transportation • Sustainability • Implementation A NDC Plan will cover exist- ing conditions, issues, and opportunities in a planning area, any changes to land use and character designa- tions, the impacts the plan goals and actions will have on residential neighbor- hoods, focused code en- forcement efforts, necessary transportation improvements for vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic, as well as how the actions recommended in the plan will be carried out and who is responsible for carrying out each action. A Plan may also involve other components depend- ing on the unique issues of a planning area. Where rede- velopment issues are preva- lent, a chapter focusing on Economic Development may be appropriate. Or a Parks, Greenways, and Arts chapter may be appropriate where parks or greenways are a distinct piece of the planning area. Overall, the NDC Plan should be developed to create, protect, and enhance areas of distinction. for each implementation. It may take several years for all of the items to be accomplished. The Plan Manager will also be responsible for creating a process for the public to track progress on the plan, and providing annual feedback to the community and City Coun- cil about the plan, its implementation, and any changes happening in the area that may influence the effectiveness of the plan. After a NDC Plan is adopted, the implemen- tation stage begins. Each plan will have a Plan Manager that is responsible for tracking the progress made on the plan. The Plan Manager will work closely with other City departments, as well as residents and stakeholders in the area to identify the entity responsible for carrying out each action rec- ommended in the plan, as well as a timeline What Should be in a Plan? What happens after a plan is adopted? How long will it take to create a plan? The Plan process is broken into 4 phases. The first phase is primarily focused on preparation work for a plan, like creating Resource Teams and defining the planning area, and a citizen engage- ment plan. The second phase will focus heavily on public input, issue and opportunity identifica- tion, and a study of existing conditions. This phase should take place during the fall. A third phase will focus on the drafting of the actual plan chapters during the winter. The final adoption and implementation phase will be during the following spring, and ongoing for the life of the plan. A typical plan will probably take between 8 and 10 months to complete, de- pendant upon available resources, and the complex- ity of the issues and opportu- nities in a planning area. Ideally, neighborhood plans will generally run concur- rently with the school year calendar for maximum pub- lic participation. Page 3 July, 2009 A Plan may include necessary transporta- tion improvements like multi-use trail connec- tions NDC Plans can address the treatment of natural and vege- tated corridors. A NDC plan should be fully implemented in five to seven years. 32 VISION STATEMENT College Station, the proud home of Texas A&M University and the heart of the Research Valley, will remain a vi- brant, forward-thinking, knowledge-based community which promotes the highest quality of life for its citizens by … • ensuring safe, tranquil, clean, and healthy neighbor- hoods with enduring character; • increasing and maintaining the mobility of College Station citizens through a well planned and con- structed inter-modal transportation system; • expecting sensitive development and management of the built and natural environment; • supporting well planned, quality and sustainable growth; • valuing and protecting our cultural and historical community resources; • developing and maintaining quality cost-effective community facilities, infrastructure and services which ensure our city is cohesive and well connected; and • pro-actively creating and maintaining economic and educational opportunities for all citizens. College Station will continue to be among the friendliest and most responsive of communities and a demonstrated partner in maintaining and enhancing all that is good and celebrated in the Brazos Valley. It will continue to be a place where Texas and the world come to learn, live, and conduct business! A NDC Plan will become part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Although each plan will contain its own goals, strate- gies, and actions, they will be tied back to the commu- nity-wide vision for College Station. Each action will be measured against this vision statement and evaluated for its consistency with the over- arching goals of the Com- prehensive Plan. Each plan will allow us to expand on the goals of the Comprehensive Plan by evaluating what those goals mean for a particular area within College Station, since no two areas are completely alike. Each plan should also uphold the Comprehensive Plan and the integrity of the public participation process. Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan P.O.

This report will eventually serve as an introduction chapter to the plan with specific information about public events, and the background information used for plan development. The report also serves as an engagement tool during the planning process to be provided at community meetings, to neighborhood groups, and distributed to the publ ic to encourage a transparent and approachable planning process. PURPOSE Neighborhood Plans are part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. A comprehensive plan is a city’s guidebook for how to manage change and growth. It allows a city the opportunity to set goals for the future of the community and insure adequate infrastructure and facilities for that future . One of the goals of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan is to take a more 35 2 C e n t r a l C o l l e g e S t a t i o n N e i g h b o r h o o d P l a n Phase One Report | DRAFT 09-11-09 in-depth look at smaller areas - neighborhoods, districts, and corridors – to guide growth and change at a smaller scale that promotes the long-term stability of those areas. AREA IDENTIFICATION The Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area is made up of 1,450 acres located in the geographic center of College Station. Bounded by Texas Avenue (State Highway 6 South), Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818), Wellborn Road (FM 2154), and Rock Prairie Road. This area includes eight residential subdivisions, and is home to more than 10,000 residents. The area is surrounded by neighborhood planning areas to the north and south, but is also in the area of influence for Growth Area VI and X and the Spring Creek District as identified in the City’s Comprehensive Plan Concept Map. Housing and Business The Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area developed over a period of nearly 40 years. The most recent additions are late phases of Edelweiss Estates in 2001, but the earliest development took place in 1974 as part of Southwood Valley at the northeast corner of the area. Annexations took place between 1969 and 2002. The area holds more than 1,000,000 sq. feet of commercial and business space and 2,226 single-family homes, 534 duplexes, and 1,355 other multi-family units. The planning area is primarily residential, but ringed by commercial space along major corridors. Commercial anchors are located at Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Texas Avenue, and Rock Prairie Road and State Highway 6 South with moderate- to small-scale businesses and offices along Longmire Drive, Rock Prairie Road, Wellborn Road, and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. Medical offices are located along portions of Rock Prairie Road and make up a portion of the Spring Creek District Planning Area. Education and Institutions Central College Station is home to two elementary schools – Rock Prairie Elementary and Southwood Valley Elementary. All neighborhoods in the planning area are zoned for attendance at one of these elementary schools. Students then attend Cypress Grove Intermediate and College Station Middle Schools located outside the planning area. All students attend A&M Consolidated High School, Central College Station has more than 4,000 dwelling units, and 1,000,000 s.f. of commercial space. 36 3 C e n t r a l C o l l e g e S t a t i o n N e i g h b o r h o o d P l a n DRAFT 09-11-09| Central College Station Neighborhood Plan located to the north of the planning area across Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The City of College Station operates the Larry J. Ringer Library on Harvey Mitchell Parkway in conjunction with the City of Bryan. The City of College Station also operates Fire Station #2 serving the entire planning area. The area is also part of two community policing beats – Beats 60 and 80. This area has six churches serving a variety of religious faiths. The planning area also includes two nursing home facilities in close proximity to College Station Medical Center on Rock Prairie Road. Natural Features One hundred seventy-one acres in the planning area are identified on the City’s Comprehensive Plan as Natural Area Protected and Reserved. These areas generally cover the floodplain for two Bee Creek tributaries that traverse the north and east section of the planning area. Overall, this area is relatively flat, with a slight downward slope from the south to north end – falling 82 feet over 11,000 linear feet (0.7% slope) with the lowest points corresponding with the creek beds. Without direct access to discharge to these tributaries, there are several detention ponds located in the southern section of the planning area – all maintained by private homeowner or property owner associations. The City has several greenways identified in the Greenways Master Plan covering the Bee Creek Tributaries; however, no land acquisition has taken place. The City of College Station maintains 50 acres of park space in this area. The planning area is part of Neighborhood Park Zone 5 and Community Park Zone B. Overall, there are five acres of park for every 1,000 residents. Mobility Central College Station is served by 42 miles of road. The area is bounded by four arterials– Harvey Mitchell Parkway (FM 2818), Wellborn Road (FM 2154), Rock Prairie Road, and Texas Avenue. Within the planning area, collectors Rio Grande Boulevard, Welsh Avenue, and Longmire Drive provide north-south vehicular connectivity, while Deacon Drive provides the only direct east -west connection. Brothers Boulevard, Ponderosa Drive, Southwood Drive, Edelweiss Avenue, Navarro Road, and Balcones Drive also serve as local collector roads. The planning area is served by three bus systems. Texas A&M University serves students living in this area with two bus routes that run between 7:00 a.m. and midnight on weekdays during the regular fall and spring semesters. College Station Independent School District (CSISD) provides buses in this area for students attending Cypress Grove Intermediate, College Station Middle, and A&M Consolidated High schools. The District provides limited general public service to this area along Harvey Mitchell Parkway at Welsh and Southwood Drive. 37 4 C e n t r a l C o l l e g e S t a t i o n N e i g h b o r h o o d P l a n Phase One Report | DRAFT 09-11-09 The area is served by a network of dedicated bicycle lanes, routes, and paths. Sidewalks are also located throughout the planning area. Community Investment There are a number of public projects underway or planned for construction in Central College Station. The 2008 Bond package provided funding for improvements to the Bee Creek tributary channels in the planning area, currently in design, and the expansion of the Larry J. Ringer Library, tentatively scheduled to be under construction in 2012. The bond package also included funds for improvements to Brothers Park to upgrade the jogging trail and make repairs to the entrance sidewalk. College Station is also developing a hike and bike trail located on the north side of Harvey Mitchell Parkway between Welsh Avenue and Longmire Drive. The area is also impacted by the current TxDOT widening project on Wellborn Road. The Wellborn Road project will widen Wellborn Road to six lanes between Graham Road and Southwest Parkway, and is anticipated to be complete by 2011, and a reconfiguration of the interchange at Wellborn Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. Funding for a raised median on Harvey Mitchell Parkway between Texas Avenue and Wellborn Road has been identified by TxDOT, but design of the median has not yet begun (scheduled to be bid in 2011). Selection The Central College Station Neighborhood Planning Area was chosen for study because of its diversity of housing type and age, mix of residential and commercial uses, opportunities for redevelopment, and the lack of neighborhood planning focused on this area in the past. This planning area offers the opportunity to better understand the factors leading to changes from owner- to renter-occupied homes. The physical boundaries of this planning area were based on the contiguous area of neighborhood conservation identified in this area of town in the Comprehensive Plan, and the surrounding areas of influence. Major roads serve as effective boundaries to delineate this area from other areas of the City. There are eight subdivisions within the planning area, each with multiple phases. While none of those subdivisions is exactly alike in age or character, they all share the same roads, parks, and water lines, and are affected by the same infill, redevelopment, and commercial development. RESOURCE TEAMS The advice and expertise of three advisory teams will be used throughout the planning process - the Planning Resource Team, the Staff Resource Team, and the Neighborhood Resource Team. These teams will meet throughout the process to offer input and advice, and assist with the planning process including public outreach. Planning Resource Team The purpose of the Planning Resource Team is to provide technical assistance in planning and related fields, as well as oversight and 38 5 C e n t r a l C o l l e g e S t a t i o n N e i g h b o r h o o d P l a n DRAFT 09-11-09| Central College Station Neighborhood Plan guidance throughout the planning process.

The initial meeting of the Neighborhood Team was held on September 8, 2009. Members were chosen out of a pool of interested individuals based primarily on having as many different geographic areas of the planning area represented, along with ensuring representation from the business community, student residents, and institutions in the area.

During the planning process, the public and resource teams should be kept informed of future plans for the expansion or redesign of these roads and to the benefits and constraints these roads may have on the overall vision and goals for the planning are a. Information will need to be gathered from TxDOT, Texas A&M University (TAMU) and CSISD Transportation Services, as well as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) relating to regional transportation issues that may affect this area. This area is home to two CSISD elementary schools – Southwood Valley Elementary and Rock Prairie Elementary. Just outside the neighborhood boundary, but in the area of influence, are A&M Consolidated High School to the north, and College Station Middle School to the south. These schools are integral parts of the neighborhood and CSISD representatives are included in the Neighborhood Resource Team. TIMELINE This plan is intended to be completed between September, 2009, and May, 2010. The adjacent timeline is a proposed general timeline for the process. A detailed list of draft dates for Neighborhood Resource Team Meetings, Community Meetings, and Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council updates are located in Appendix A and will be updated throughout the process. CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of the Citizen Engagement Plan is to coordinate opportunities for productive citizen involvement in the planning effort. This plan will identify methods to reach out directly to citizens for participation in planning events, opportunities for media involvement, and methods for receiving feedback about these efforts DRAFT TIMELINE September Initial Stakeholder Team Meeting Phase 1 Completion Kick-off Meeting with Community October Issues and Opportunities Meeting with Community Vision and Goals Meeting with Community November Phase 2 Completion Draft chapter work begins December – February Draft chapter work is completed for Neighborhood Resource Team Review Phase 3 Completion March Draft chapters available for public comment Community meeting to present plan April Revisions completed May Presentation and adoption by City Council Phase 4 Completed 41 8 C e n t r a l C o l l e g e S t a t i o n N e i g h b o r h o o d P l a n Phase One Report | DRAFT 09-11-09 to better adapt future planning processes. Stakeholder Recruitment The first step in the Engagement Plan was to identify methods to reach members of the planning area for the Neighborhood Resource Team. This step focused on identifying community organizations that have networks to reach residents, and promoting the plan and recruiting for the Neighborhood Resource Team. Staff identified neighborhood and community organizations to contact, developed a website, created advertising for the City’s television channel (Channel 19), submitted information for the College Station Utilities utility bill newsletter, and contacted local businesses and institutions with flyers for posting. A list of organizations, businesses, and individuals contacted are included in Appendix B. A copy of the flyer and Channel 19 information is also included. Public Outreach The second step in the Engagement Plan is to identify methods to publicize community meetings and promote neighborhood planning. City Staff will continue to work with neighborhood and community organizations to reach residents of the planning area, and utilize the Neighborhood Resource Team to assist in promoting the plan to neighbors, colleagues, and businesses. Community meetings will also be promoted through direct mail and/or doorhangers. This will insure that each resident and business in the planning area has the basic information about the location, date, and purpose of the meeting and also include contact information for the Plan Manager and the website for additional information. Staff will keep newsletters and websites current with information about the planning process. Meetings will also be advertised through information provided at previous meetings, and by direct emails to individuals that sign up for mailing lists at previous meetings. Media Staff will work with the Public Communications department to coordinate interviews and coverage of local meetings by area media outlets. Learning and Adapting The final stage of the Citizen Engagement Plan is identifying methods to receive feedback from residents and businesses about their involvement in the plan and how best to reach citizens. Several online surveys will be used throughout the process to allow community members to offer feedback on planning issues, how they were contacted, activities they felt promoted dialogue between residents, and on the effectiveness of different types of communications they received from the City. This feedback will a llow Staff to better focus the next neighborhood, district, or corridor Plan, and assist Public Communications in developing new communication strategies.
