The Station (City-Initiated) Sponsor: Jeff Howell, Senior Planner Reviewed By CBC: N/A Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from Business Center to General Commercial for approximately 106 acres generally located east of the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. Case #CPA2026-000009 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the August 27, 2026 City Council Meeting- Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map amendment. Summary: As part of a development agreement with the Economic Development Department, the request is a City-initiated amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Business Center to General Commercial for approximately 106 acres, generally located east of the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. General Commercial is defined as areas of commercial activities typically located along regionally significant roads. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment is in conjunction with a rezoning of a portion of an un-platted property that is owned by the City of College Station to GC General Commercial to allow for additional commercial uses in the area. A sports complex and associated hospitality development are proposed within the subject tract. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: The subject property is identified with a future land use designation of Business Center. Those directly abutting it have a future land use designation of Natural & Open Areas as well as Parks & Greenways. The Business Center land use designation is appropriate for office, research, or industrial uses that may be planned and developed as a unified project. The purpose of the Business Center land use designation is to accommodate a variety of large footprint buildings, commercial and service uses in business centers, and provide large-scale employment sites. The immediate area is primarily vacant and used as a park and designated as Natural & Open Areas. These areas include floodplains, riparian buffers, common areas, and open space. This designation is generally for areas that represent a constraint to development. The properties to the west are designated as Business Center, as well as General Commercial on the other side of Midtown Drive. This request to change the land use designation of the subject property to General Commercial would allow for the development of a largely undeveloped property with proximity to Midtown Drive. 2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Future Land Use & Character Map to General Commercial and has also requested a rezoning to General Commercial for a portion of the property. The intent of General Commercial is to accommodate a wide range of commercial uses and concentrate commercial Page 9 of 63 development near major intersections and thoroughfares. The subject property is located east of the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. This property would be compatible with existing uses, development patterns, and character of GC General Commercial zoned properties in the area. City Staff held a neighborhood meeting on July 6, 2026. All property owners within 200 feet of the subject property were notified of the neighborhood meeting as well as the adjacent neighborhood associations, and no members of the public were in attendance. Attendees were only City Staff. The proposal is compatible with the character of the area as it allows for commercial development that is compatible with the surrounding area. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: There is no FEMA designated floodplain on the subject property. While not within the subject property, there are existing waterbodies and floodplain located in the general area. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: Water and wastewater services will be provided by College Station Utilities. There is not adequate water and sanitary sewer capacity to support the proposed amendment. The applicant will design and construct an 18-inch waterline extension across a portion of the subject tract. This line is sized to serve the proposed uses on the tract and to extend regional water grid capacity through the site, providing system benefits beyond the project boundary. The City of College Station is also constructing sewer infrastructure to serve a portion of the project, and the applicant is coordinating closely with City Staff on design, phasing, and acceptance of those improvements. Drainage and all other infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property is located near the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway are identified as Major Collectors on the Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed General Commercial designation may increase the potential traffic generated in comparison to the existing Business Center designation, and a Traffic Impact Analysis with the rezoning request was required. Mitigation included adding roundabouts and a turn-lane on Midtown Drive. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The intent of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan is to create distinctive places, vibrant districts, attractive neighborhoods, revitalized gateways and corridors, and conserved natural areas. The proposed amendment to General Commercial, defined as areas that accommodate a wide range of commercial uses, is appropriate for this property as it provides infill development along a major commercial corridor of the city. The project is being delivered through a coordinated effort between the City of College Station and the applicant, with public and private infrastructure improvements designed in parallel to support the sports and hospitality components. The General Commercial designation provides the land use framework that supports this collaboration. Budget & Financial Summary: N/A Attachments: 1. Aerial and Small Area Map 2.

We are requesting an amendment to the Land Use & Character designation shown on the Future Land Use & Character Map for an approximately 106-acre tract located north of State Highway 6 near the intersection of Corporate Parkway and Midtown Drive (4321 SH-6 S) What is the amendment requested? Amend the Land Use & Character designation on the subject tract from Business Center to General Commercial. COMP PLAN APPLICATION SUPPORTING INFORMATION What is the reason for the amendment? A sports complex and associated hospitality development are proposed within the subject tract. These uses (large-scale recreation/entertainment, hotels, restaurants, and visitor-serving retail) align with the General Commercial designation, which contemplates a broader mix of retail, lodging, and entertainment than the Business Center designation, which is oriented toward office, light industrial, and corporate campus uses. Amending the designation lets the planned uses proceed under a land use category that accurately reflects them. Page 1 of 4 Page 16 of 63 Explain the changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City. Several conditions in and around the subject tract have shifted since the current Business Center designation was assigned: 1. The State Highway 6 corridor is being upgraded by TxDOT and the City to a controlled-access urban freeway, which has increased the corridor's value for highway-frontage commercial, lodging, and entertainment uses rather than back-office or light industrial uses. 2. The adjacent SH-6 frontage has built out almost entirely as General Commercial, leaving the subject tract as an isolated pocket of Business Center rather than part of a contiguous office/industrial node. 3. A regional baseball/sports complex and hospitality development is moving forward on the tract through a coordinated effort between the City of College Station and the development team. This effort establishes the tract as an active commercial node rather than an isolated office/industrial pocke. 4. Parkland has been established on the remaining boundaries of the tract, creating a built-in buffer between the property and the nearest residential neighborhoods. Explain the impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas and infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage and transportation network. The subject tract contains no jurisdictional waters, or other environmentally sensitive or natural areas that would be adversely affected by the designation change. Site development will comply with the City's stormwater, and erosion control at the platting and site plan stage. How will this change be compatible with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the city as a whole? The proposed General Commercial designation is consistent with the existing land use pattern of the immediate area, the general area, and the city as a whole: • The SH-6 frontage adjacent to the subject tract is already designated and developed as General Commercial, so redesignating this tract to General Commercial creates a continuous, commercial corridor rather than an isolated Business Center pocket. • City parkland borders the remaining sides of the tract, providing a permanent buffer between the proposed commercial uses and the nearest residential neighborhoods and limiting any spillover impacts (noise, lighting, traffic) on those neighborhoods. • At the citywide scale, General Commercial along major highway corridors is an established and intentional pattern within the Comprehensive Plan, and this amendment reinforces that pattern at a key SH-6 location. Page 2 of 4 Page 17 of 63 Explain how this change will be consistant with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The requested amendment supports the adopted goals of the College Station Comprehensive Plan: • Distinctive Places. Consolidating the SH-6 frontage under a single General Commercial designation reinforces a coherent commercial corridor identity rather than leaving an isolated Business Center pocket within an otherwise General Commercial frontage. • Prosperous Economy. The proposed sports complex and hospitality uses, together with additional general commercial frontage along SH-6, expand the City's visitor-serving economy, broaden the sales tax base, and create permanent jobs in retail, lodging, and entertainment sectors. • Managed Growth. The amendment directs growth to a tract already flanked by City trunk sewer lines and adjacent to a fully built-out commercial corridor, making efficient use of infrastructure capacity that has already been built. • Engaging Spaces. The site is bordered by City parkland, and the proposed uses (sports, hospitality, and supporting commercial) complement that parkland by drawing visitors to an adjacent active-recreation and entertainment node. • Integrated Mobility. Primary access from Corporate Parkway and Midtown Drive, combined with the planned SH-6 freeway upgrade, keeps higher-intensity trips on the corridor designed to carry them rather than on neighborhood streets. • Collaborative Partnerships. The project is being delivered through a coordinated effort between the City of College Station and the applicant, with public and private infrastructure improvements designed in parallel to support the sports and hospitality components. The General Commercial designation provides the land use framework that supports this collaboration. List any other reasons to support this zone change. N/A List any impacts on infrastructure, including water, wastewater, drainage, and transportation network. Water. The applicant will design and construct an 18-inch waterline extension across a portion of the subject tract. This line is sized to serve the proposed uses on the tract and to extend regional water grid capacity through the site, providing system benefits beyond the project boundary. Wastewater. The tract is well-positioned for wastewater service. Two existing City trunk sewer lines flank the property to the east and west, providing high-capacity service corridors on both sides. The City of College Station is also constructing sewer infrastructure to serve a portion of the project, and the applicant is coordinating closely with City staff on design, phasing, and acceptance of those improvements. Drainage. On-site stormwater detention will be provided in accordance with the City of College Station Drainage Criteria and the BCS Unified Drainage Design Guidelines, with no increase in discharge rates to receiving channels. Transportation. Primary access will be taken from Corporate Parkway and Midtown Drive, both classified roadways with capacity contemplated for commercial frontage development. A Traffic Impact Analysis will identify any mitigation. Overall, the combination of City-led sewer improvements, the existing trunk sewer lines on either side of the property, and the 18-inch waterline reflects a coordinated effort that makes efficient use of existing public infrastructure.

The Station (City-Initiated) Sponsor: Jeff Howell, Senior Planner Reviewed By CBC: N/A Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A , Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4, “Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from M-1 Light Industrial to GC General Commercial for approximately 92.88 acres generally located east of the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. Case #REZ2026-000010 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the August 27, 2026 City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request as it is in line with the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and compatible with the surrounding area. Summary: As part of a development agreement with the Economic Development Department, the request is a City-initiated rezoning of approximately 92.88 acres of land generally located east of the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway from M-1 Light Industrial to GC General Commercial. The tract proposed to be rezoned consists an un-platted property that is owned by the City of College Station. The majority of the property was originally zoned R Rural upon annexation to the City in 1995 and zoned to M-1 Light Industrial in 2003. This zoning request is in effort to allow for additional commercial uses in the area which would not be allowed in the current Light Industrial zoning. A sports complex and associated hospitality development are proposed within the subject tract. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The subject tract is designated as Business Center on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map. Portions outside of the area to be rezoned are designated as Natural and Open Areas. For the Business Center land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following: Areas that include office, research, or industrial uses that may be planned and developed as a unified project. Generally, these areas need convenient access to arterial roadways. The intent of the Business Center land use is to accommodate a variety of large footprint buildings, commercial and service uses in business centers, and provide large-scale employment sites The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within the Business Center land use include: Business park, industrial, and commercial industrial zoning. This is in conjunction with a City-initiated amendment request for a land use change from a Business Center portion of the property to General Commercial. The proposed General Commercial land use designation is appropriate for concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby Page 21 of 63 residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large and located along regionally significant roads. Due to their context, these areas tend to prioritize automobile mobility. The proposed rezoning request to GC General Commercial is consistent with the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The area directly abutting the subject property to the north and south is currently designated as parkland, which includes Woodland Hills Park. Further south, there is an existing residential development consisting of single-family structures as well. The subject property is near other existing commercial uses which are located across Midtown Drive to the west. The proposed zoning district is appropriate in the context of the area as it would allow for infill with additional commercial options and commercial uses connecting to a major thoroughfare. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning district: The size and location of the subject property is suitable for commercial development. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards as set forth in the Unified Development Ordinance. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is not adequate to support the needs of this development. The applicant will design and construct an 18-inch waterline extension across a portion of the subject tract. This line is sized to serve the proposed uses on the tract and to extend regional water grid capacity through the site, providing system benefits beyond the project boundary. The City of College Station is also constructing sewer infrastructure to serve a portion of the project, and the applicant is coordinating closely with City staff on design, phasing, and acceptance of those improvements. Drainage and all other infrastructure required with site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the B/CS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property is located near the intersection of Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway. Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway are identified as Major Collectors on the Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed General Commercial designation may increase the potential traffic generated in comparison to the existing Light Industrial designation, and a Traffic Impact Analysis with the rezoning was required. Mitigation included adding roundabouts and a turn-lane on Midtown Drive. 5. The marketability of the property: The applicant states the surrounding corridor has developed as commercial rather than office or industrial. The rezoning supports a coordinated effort between the City and the development team to bring a regional sports complex and hospitality development to the corridor.

The SH-6 frontage adjacent to the property has built out as commercial, leaving this tract as the only Business Center pocket along that stretch. TxDOT and the City are upgrading SH-6 to a controlled-access freeway, which has shifted demand at this location toward commercial, lodging, and entertainment uses. A regional sports complex and hospitality development is now planned on the larger tract. City parkland borders the remaining sides of the property, buffering the nearest residential neighborhoods. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. Yes. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment is being filed concurrently to change the land use designation for the property from Business Center to General Commercial. With that amendment approved, this rezoning is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood?

Harvey Road Townhomes Rezoning Sponsor: Garrett Segraves, Staff Planner Reviewed By CBC: Planning & Zoning Commission Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Appendix A, Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4, "Zoning Districts,” Section 4.2 “Official Zoning Map,” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundaries from PDD Planned Development District to T Townhouse on approximately 9.75 acres generally located west of the intersection of Harvey Road and Boonville Road. Case #REZ2026-000002 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the August 27, 2026, City Council Meeting – Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: Diverse and growing economy. Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. Summary: This request is to rezone 9.76 acres of land from PDD Planned Development District to T Townhouse, located west of the intersection of Harvey Rd and Boonville Rd. The property is currently undeveloped and sits at the end of Ascend Ln’s temporary turnaround, which is intended to be built out with this project's development. The property was zoned to PDD Planned Development District in 2003 with the allowed uses being duplex and parks/open-space, and at that time a Concept Plan was not provided. The applicant is proposing a townhome development which would not be allowed in the current zoning district. The rezoning intends to follow the 2007 approved Master Development Plan of the property that indicated this area to be high density single-family residential uses, which is similar to the adjacent existing developments within the Plan. REZONING REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Whether the proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map designates the subject property as General Commercial. The Comprehensive Plan generally describes the General Commercial land use designation as follows: Concentrated areas of commercial activities that cater to both nearby residents and to the larger community or region. Generally, these areas tend to be large and located along regionally significant roads. Due to their context, these areas tend to prioritize automobile mobility. The intent of the district is to: • Accommodate a wide range of commercial uses • Concentrate future commercial development at major intersections • Provide connectivity to surrounding bicycle and pedestrian networks and provide safe pedestrian facilities within sites • Encourage transitions in building height and mass when adjacent to residential neighborhoods • Support multi-family residential as secondary uses on a site • Encourage shared surface parking Page 32 of 63 The zoning districts generally appropriate within the General Commercial land use include GC General Commercial, O Office, and mixed-use zoning. However, abutting the subject tract is land designated as Urban Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use & Character Map. For the Urban Residential land use, the Comprehensive Plan provides the following: Areas appropriate for range of high-density multifamily and attached residential development in various forms. Buildings may be clustered and grouped. Building setback from street varies but is generally consistent within a development. The intent of the district is to: • Accommodate a wide range of attractive multifamily housing for a diverse population • Provide vehicular and pedestrian connectivity • Accommodate streetscape features and support commercial, service, and office uses The zoning districts that are generally appropriate within the Urban Residential land use include: MF Multi-family, T Townhouse, mixed-use, and limited SC Suburban Commercial zoning. The Comprehensive Plan serves as a guide to achieve the community’s vision for the future. It anticipates and guides physical development in a manner that provides College Station with a balance of land uses that promote economic development while retaining the quality of life. The future land use designations are generally flexible and are not tied to a specific boundary as compared to the zoning district. This is also more apparent as the property has not been subdivided or there are no natural features dictating the boundary (i.e. floodplain). The proposed zoning district for T Townhouse is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Designation as the request will be providing a development with permitted uses allowed by the zoning district. Also, it generally follows the Summit Crossing Master Development Plan. This Master Development Plan was approved in 2007, which allows high-density single-family structures to be developed behind the commercial area along Boonville Rd. 2. Whether the uses permitted by the proposed zoning district will be appropriate in the context of the surrounding area: The property has frontage to Harvey Road, which is classified as a 4 Lane Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. There is a Multi-family development to the southwest of this property, undeveloped townhouse-zoned land to the west, Rural undeveloped land to the northwest, undeveloped General Commercial land to the northeast, and Harvey Rd to the southeast. The T Townhouse zoning district contains land which is to be used for a unique type of dwelling, typically designed for individual ownership, or ownership in groups of single-family attached residences constructed on individually platted lots. The proposed zoning district is appropriate for the surrounding area, as T Townhouse follows the Master Development Plan’s designation for this area of Single-family Residential - High-density. 3. Whether the property to be rezoned is physically suitable for the proposed zoning Page 33 of 63 district: The size and location of the subject property are suitable for uses allowed within the proposed zoning district. The site has adequate space to meet the minimal dimensional standards for T Townhouse. There is no FEMA-identified floodplain on the property. 4. Whether there is available water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for uses permitted by the proposed zoning district: The existing water and wastewater infrastructure is adequate to support the needs of this development. Detention is required in accordance with the BCS guidelines. Drainage and any other infrastructure required for the site development shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the BCS Unified Design Guidelines. The subject property has frontage to Harvey Rd, which is designated as a proposed 4 Lane Major Arterial on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. Right-of-way dedication would be required at the time of the plat for Harvey Rd. 5. The marketability of the property: Rezoning the property from PDD Planned Development District to T Townhouse would allow for the development of additional housing, making the property more marketable.

ACRES Total Acreage:9.78 Applicant:: Property Owner:TEXAS HOTEL MANAGEMENT LP Caprock Development List the changed or changing conditions in the area or in the City which make this zone change necessary. City of College Station zoning ordinances no longer include a specific duplex zoning district. The area is part of the Approved Master Development Plan for Summit Crossing. This plan designates this area as "single-family residential high density", which includes the development of connected townhome products. Indicate whether or not this zone change is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is not, explain why the Plan is incorrect. The Comp Plan shows this tract as GC - General Commercial. However, the City has recently approved the Summit Crossing Master Development Plan which vests the property as "single family residential high density". How will this zone change be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood? The current zoning district is no longer suitable for this tract. There is no longer a duplex district. Most importantly, the City-approved Master Development Plan for Summit Crossing vests this tract for "single family residential high density" uses. Explain the suitability of the property for uses permitted by the rezoning district requested. The property is suitable for rezoning to Townhome, as adequate access, water, sewer, and drainage are in place. In addition, adjacent tracts that surround this parcel are either General Commercial, Townhome, or Multifamily uses.

In addition, adjacent tracts that surround this parcel are either General Commercial, Townhome, or Multifamily uses. Explain the marketability of the property for uses permitted by the current zoning district. Market conditions have failed to support duplex-style housing for over a decade. With higher land, development, and construction costs, the marketability of duplexes is nearly non-existent. On the other hand, Townhomes have a lower-cost than duplexes, attracting a broader market of buyers, which includes first-time home buyers. List any other reasons to support this zone change. None.

Thoroughfare Plan Amendment - Corporate Parkway Extension Removal Sponsor: Jason Schubert Reviewed By CBC: Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Greenways Advisory Board Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan by amending the Thoroughfare Plan and Active Transportation Master Plan to remove the future extension of Corporate Parkway, a Major Collector, between Midtown Drive and William D. Fitch Parkway including associated future bike lanes and sidewalks along with the realignment of the future Spring Creek trail to the existing Lick Creek trail. Case #CPA2026-000010 (Note: This item is tentatively scheduled for the August 27, 2026 City Council meeting ~ Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: • Diverse & Growing Economy • Improving Mobility Recommendation(s): The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board considered this item at their July 20, 2026 meeting and recommended approval (6-0). Staff also recommends approval. Summary: This item proposes to remove the future extension of Corporate Parkway between Midtown Drive and Wiliam D. Fitch Parkway, a Major Collector, from the Thoroughfare Plan along with the associated future bike lanes and sidewalks that are planned along that street. In addition, the future Spring Creek trail, which is planned to intersect William D. Fitch Parkway adjacent to the Corporate Parkway extension, would be realigned to intersect the existing Lick Creek trail. This item is being brought forward in connection with a baseball development proposed in this area that would inhibit the complete extension of the street. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Changed or changing conditions in the subject area of the City: A future thoroughfare connection from the north to William D. Fitch Parkway at Pebble Creek Parkway has been identified on the Thoroughfare Plan since the 1990s. Its alignment and configuration, however, has varied over the years. This thoroughfare is designated as a future Major Collector to serve a large tract owned by the City that has been intended as a future business park. The City Council has agreed to pursue a proposal to create a baseball complex in this area and the future thoroughfare would bisect the area anticipated for baseball fields. A separate Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning are being processed to revise the Future Lane Use and Character Map and rezoning of a portion of the tract for the development. The development will still have access to a network of streets with bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that connect to Midtown Drive though would no longer have a street connection directly to William D. Fitch Parkway. Page 44 of 63 2. Compatibility with the existing uses, development patterns, and character of the immediate area concerned, the general area, and the City as a whole: Residents in the area have expressed concerns previously regarding the future extension of Corporate Parkway and its connection to William D. Fitch Parkway across from Pebble Creek Parkway. The concerns mostly involved the potential for increased vehicular traffic on Pebble Creek Parkway and implications related to safety and neighborhood integrity within their subdivision. Collector connections to arterial roadways are common and help provide circulation and connectivity in the areas they serve. If the thoroughfare extension were removed, the bike lanes and sidewalks that are planned along it would not occur, though a bicycle and pedestrian connection would remain with the connection of the Lick Creek trail to William D. Fitch Parkway. 3. Impact on environmentally sensitive and natural areas: The extension of Corporate Parkway will likely necessitate a bridge crossing of Spring Creek near William D. Fitch Parkway. This crossing would have a greater impact on the creek than if the extension were removed. It is common, however, for thoroughfares to cross creeks and connect areas of the City together though the meanders of Spring Creek in this area make the crossing much more complicated. The design of a crossing of any kind would be done in accordance with federal standards and local requirements that prohibit adverse impacts related to the floodplain. 4. Impacts on infrastructure including water, wastewater, drainage, and the transportation network: The proposed amendment is not anticipated to impact water or wastewater services, or drainage in the area. Between State Highway 6 and Rock Prairie Road to the east, Midtown Drive and Corporate Parkway are the only two thoroughfares planned to intersect William D. Fitch Parkway from the north over a 1.75-mile distance. However, much of the frontage along William D. Fitch Parkway includes creeks, the old landfill, and CSISD transportation facility. The Lick Creek trail connection in the area of Pebble Creek Parkway provides a bicycle and pedestrian connection from William D. Fitch Parkway to the north and will connect to the future Spring Creek trail. The traffic signal project under construction at William D. Fitch Parkway and Pebble Creek Parkway includes a new shared use path connection from William D. Fitch Parkway to the Lick Creek trail. A scenario in the travel demand model was run to assess the long-term impact of potentially removing this thoroughfare extension on vehicular traffic. The model estimates in 2045 that approximately 4,300 vehicles per day would utilize this street. If removed, those vehicles would not be able to travel to William D. Fitch Parkway directly and would need to use Midtown Drive to do so. Midtown Drive is expected to be Nearing Congestion in 2045 and removal of the Corporate Parkway extension would increase the levels of Nearing Congestion and cause one segment to become Congested. The traffic impact analysis submitted with the rezoning in this area identifies that improvements to three intersections would need to be completed with full build-out of the surrounding area in order to meet the future traffic demand. These improvements include a southbound right-turn lane on Midtown Drive at William D. Fitch Parkway and intersection upgrades of a roundabout or traffic signal at the two street connections of the development to Midtown Drive. Fire Station 5 is located near where the Corporate Parkway extension would intersect William D. Fitch Parkway. Removal of the future thoroughfare would increase emergency response time to the area served by the Corporate Parkway extension, though emergency response routes would remain available via Midtown Drive and within response time thresholds. 5. Consistency with the goals and strategies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The goal of the Integrated Mobility chapter of the Comprehensive Plan is for "an innovative, safe, and well-connected multi-modal mobility system serving all user types that is designed to Page 45 of 63 support the surrounding land uses." Removal of the extension of Corporate Parkway will only have limited impact on biking and walking in the area as the Lick Creek Trail and future Spring Trail will still provide bicycle and pedestrian connection to William D. Fitch Parkway and there will be other bicycle and pedestrian connections within the development and to Midtown Drive. Removal of the thoroughfare will have an impact on vehicular circulation in the area and necessitate that Midtown Drive provide adequate access for the entire development. A traffic impact analysis was completed for the rezoning request and identified intersection improvements that would be needed to offset the additional traffic that Midtown Drive would be expected to accommodate when the surrounding area develops. Removal of the thoroughfare would allow the proposed land use of a baseball athletic complex to not be bisected by this thoroughfare extension. Budget & Financial Summary: Attachments: 1.

Ordinance Amending Master Plan and Advisory Board References from Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways to Active Transportation Sponsor: Joe Allen, Staff Planner - Transportation & Mobility Reviewed By CBC: Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Greenways Advisory Board Agenda Caption: Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding an ordinance amending Chapter 2 “Administration,” Article I “In General,” Section 2-3 “City Boards, Commissions, and Committees,” and Appendix A, Unified Development Ordinance, Article 2 “Development Review Bodies,” Sections 2.1.B.1 “Appointments” and 2.6 “Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board,” Article 3 “Development Review Procedures,” Section 3.5.C “Concept Plan Approval Process,” Article 8 “Subdivision Design and Improvements,” Sections 8.3.K.2 “Required Sidewalks,” 8.3.K.3 “Sidewalk Exceptions,” 8.3.L.2 “Timing,” 8.3.V.1 “General Requirements,” and 8.4.T “Private Streets and Gating of Roadways,” and Article 11 “Definitions,” Section 11.2 “Defined Terms” of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, by amending certain sections related to the name, membership, and duties of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board and references to the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan. Case #ORDA2026-000010 (Note: Final action of this item will be considered at the August 27, 2026 City Council meeting ~ Subject to change). Relationship to Strategic Goals: • Good Governance • Improving Mobility Recommendation(s): The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board heard this item on July 20th, 2026 and voted unanimously to recommend approval with one modification to Section 2.6.B.1.b.4, modifying "Program Management" to "Event and Program Management." The attached documents have been amended to reflect the recommended modification. Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance amendment. Summary: With the adoption of the new Active Transportation Master Plan in May 2026, the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) needs to be updated in several sections to reflect the name change from the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan. The proposed ordinance amendment also updates the Board's membership composition to remove responsibilities related to greenways, which is being incorporated into the new Parks Master Plan, and renames the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board as the Active Transportation Advisory Board. The Board's member positions are updated to remove the greenways-related position and add a third Board member with an interest in walking, running, or bicycling, with micromobility added to the list of interests to recognize that emerging mode of active transportation. Another position was modified to add Event and Program Management as one of the potential fields associated with the Recreation, Health, or Kinesiology position to recognize the programming component of implementing the Master Plan. Architecture was removed from the list of potential fields or professions with the Transportation Planning, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, or Urban Planning position. Also, the Board's responsibilities are clarified to state they receive updates regarding development projects and capital projects instead of performing technical reviews for them. Page 50 of 63 A Greenways Program Manager staff position was defined in the UDO and is proposed to be removed as the title in the organization no longer exists. The responsibilities of the position are now held by other staff working under the Administrator. The remaining edits are mostly changing references to the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Master Plan to refer to the Active Transportation Master Plan. A redlined version of the proposed ordinance changes is attached for review. The proposed ordinance is being scheduled for final consideration at the August 27, 2026 City Council meeting.
