PLANNER ON CALL
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Planner on Call system helps over 1,800 people a year that call, email, or
come into the P&DS office with questions related to planning and development.
This section highlights some of the more common questions. If you have questions
for the Planner on Call, please contact us at 979-764-3858 or POC@cstx.gov.
Q: I’m interested in opening a bar in town, but not sure where it is permitted.
There are several bars in Northgate but I would like to look at locations
around the city. Can you provide me more information?
A: It is possible to locate a bar in other areas of the city. GC General Com-
mercial and WPC Wolf Pen Creek zoning districts allow bars when ap-
proved with a Conditional Use Permit. A Conditional Use Permit application
is submitted to Staff for review, presented to the Planning & Zoning Com-
mission for recommendation and then final action is made by City Council.
Property owners within 200 feet of the proposed location are notified by
mail of the public hearing at the Planning & Zoning Commission and City
Council meetings.
When a Conditional Use Permit is submitted to Staff and considered at the
public hearing, it is reviewed using the following criteria, as outlined and
described in Section 12-3.16 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO):
The proposed use shall:
1. Meet the Purpose and Intent of the UDO
2. Be Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
3. Be Compatible with the Surrounding Area
4. Be Harmonious with the Character of the Surrounding Area
5. Minimize Infrastructure Impacts
6. Not negatively impact the Environment
These criteria should be taken into consideration when choosing a location
for a potential bar, whether it is in an existing tenant space or building on a
vacant lot. Given the nature of a bar, they are not typically compatible in
areas that are primarily residential or in commercial spaces with limited
parking.
In Northgate, bars are allowed in two zoning districts without a Conditional
Use Permit; Core Northgate (NG-1) and Transitional Northgate (NG-2).
For more information on where a bar can locate in the City of College
Station, please contact the Planner-On-Call.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is one of the tools used to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The UDO regulates land use and the division and development of land in order to achieve the adopted goals
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. Each year an annual review of the UDO is performed to provide an
opportunity to look back at accomplishments of the preceding year and have an overview of upcoming efforts.
The review is coupled with the annual review of the Comprehensive Plan and presented as public hearings at
October meetings of the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council.
An interactive report was created for the 2013 Annual Review which can be viewed at the Department’s web-
page: www.cstx.gov/devservices. As described on page 11 of the report, the following UDO ordinance amend-
ments were adopted over the past year: Area V Parking for Southside neighborhood, Platting and Replatting in
Older Residential Subdivisions, Airport Height Ordinance References, Micro-Industrial Uses, Block and Cul-de-
Sac Lengths, One and Two-Family Zoning Districts, and Single-Family Parking. The ordinances and additional
details can also be found on the Recent Ordinance Amendments webpage: http://cstx.gov/index.aspx?
page=3841.
Here are some ordinance amendment efforts that are anticipated over the coming year:
New Urban and Growth Area Zoning Districts – New zoning districts will be created to align with both
the nomenclature and the character direction provided in the Comprehensive Plan;
Medical District Coding – Form-based codes will be developed to provide framework for the village
center/urban core area of the Medical District;
Single-Family Overlay – Additional, more flexible single-family overlay preservation options will be
sought to be added to the existing tools;
Wellborn Zoning Districts – New zoning districts will be created to align with the goals and direction
established in the Wellborn Community Plan;
Signage for Places of Worship – Additional, more flexible signage options for Places of Worship lo-
cated in residential and agricultural areas;
Walton Drive Commercial Overlay – Creation of a zoning overlay to address parking and non-
conformities for the commercial area at Walton Drive and Texas Avenue to increase the viability of the
area while maintaining character as identified in the Eastgate Neighborhood Plan; and
Process Improvement Efforts – Continue to implement the process and service
improvements that were previously identified and delivered to City Council.

UPDATE ON NORTHGATE DEVELOPMENT
Development continues at a strong pace in the Northgate area. Several projects were recently completed and
many more are either under construction or planned in the area. An update on various projects is provided
below:
Recently Completed Projects
Rise at Northgate, located at Church and University Drive, was completed in August. This student hous-
ing development also contains a CVS store on the first floor.
The Stack, another student housing
development located just north of the
Rise at Northgate, was also completed
in August. The ground floor of the Stack
will be home to a new medical clinic.
A portion of Church Avenue was recon-
structed as part of the Rise at North-
gate and The Stack projects. The recon-
structed portion of Church Avenue
included new paver sidewalks and sev-
eral on-street parking spaces.
Uptown Apartments, located in the 400
block of College Main, was completed
in August.
Currently Under Construction
Phase 1 of Northpoint Crossing (formally the Plaza) is under construction at the intersection of Texas
Avenue and University Drive. The projected completion date for phase 1 is August of 2014.
Northgate Proper Apartments, located at Tauber Street and Cherry Street, is currently under construc-
tion with an anticipated completion date of August 2014.
U Centre, another student housing project located on university-owned property at South College and
Cross Street, is also underway with plans to open next fall.
On the Horizon
St. Mary’s church recently received approval of a rezoning for part of their property in Northgate.
This action sets the stage for a planned redevelopment of their property in the area.
The City continues to work with the prospective buyer of the First Street property, located at Church
Avenue and Wellborn Road. If all goes as planned, the City should close on the property later this
year.
For more information regarding the development in the Northgate area, please contact Lance Simms at
(979) 764-3570 or via email at lsimms@cstx.gov.

WHO’S BIKING AND WALKING IN COLLEGE STATION?
College Station residents continue to be among those who lead the state in the number of people that bike and
walk to work according to the most recent United States Census Bu-
reau’s Journey to Work data (2012 American Community Survey).
College Station ranks #2 in Texas behind Bryan for having the
highest percentage of people that bike to work and ranks #2 in
Texas behind Wichita Falls for the percentage of people that walk
to work.
Want to join in? Below are some safety tips to get started if you want to bike or walk to get to work, to exer-
cise or just for fun. To choose a route, check out our bike map online by going to cstx.gov/bikepedgreenways
and clicking on the bike map icon to the right. It highlights bike facilities and trails near you.
Walking
Wear bright/light colored clothing and reflective materials especially when walking at night.
Always walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
Cross streets at marked crosswalks or intersections, if possible. Don’t assume vehicles will stop; make eye
contact with drivers. Obey traffic signals such as WALK/DON’T WALK signs. And don’t rely solely on
pedestrian signals; look before you cross the road.
Biking
Learn the rules of the road. Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. Obey all traffic laws. Bicyclists are required to come to a complete stop at stop signs and red
signal lights. Use hand signals when turning and stopping to tell motorists what you intend to do. Respect pedestrians’ rights. Pedestrians on sidewalks and in crosswalks have the right of way. Never ride against traffic. Motorists and pedestrians are not looking for bicyclists riding against
traffic on the wrong side of the road. Ride in the same direction as the flow of traffic even on
sidewalks.
If you are Texas A&M faculty, staff or a student, you can register your bicycle with Texas A&M Trans-
portation Services for FREE. For more information, visit transport.tamu.edu.
Wear a helmet. Helmets greatly reduce the risk of head injury and death.
If you would like more information about biking and walking in College Station, please visit our website at

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANNUAL REVIEW
The Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2009 and acts as a guide to ensure the goals and objectives of the
City are implemented by acting as a long-range planning and policy structure for future growth of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan approaches the growth of College Station in a manner different from the City’s
previous plans; it focuses on the creation and enhancement of places of distinction in College Station. The Plan
recognizes the importance of character and capitalizes on that to offer the greatest flexibilities for develop-
ment, while protecting special places.
ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Both the Unified Development Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan call for an Annual Review of the Plan.
The Annual Review is completed each year as a progress report to our citizens on the major initiatives over
the past 12 months toward implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
The report is an interactive format that links to more detailed information on the City’s web pages, including
the original plans, maps, and more detailed implementation status. The interactive report is available to the
public on the Planning & Development Services home page or by using the following link:
http://www.cstx.gov/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=15385.
The Annual Review of the Comprehensive Plan highlights some of the City’s major initiatives this year. The fol-
lowing is a summary of the Annual Review document:
NEIGHBORHOOD, DISTRICT, & CORRIDOR PLANS
Our Neighborhood, District & Corridor Planning program produces plans that are intended to serve as action
plans for specific areas that focus on the particular needs identified by those that live and own property in
those areas. The City has adopted five neighborhood plans and under this program, all of which are currently
in implementation.
Central College Station Neighborhood Plan - located in the Southwood Valley / Edelweiss area.
Adopted in 2010. This year, the City has completed a number of action items relating to neighbor-
hood services and code enforcement in this area.
Eastgate Neighborhood Plan – located just east of Texas A&M University. Adopted in 2011. This
year, the City has completed sidewalks along University Drive and Lincoln Avenue, bike lanes in the
area, and initiated work on a potential zoning overlay in the Walton Drive commercial area.
Southside Area Neighborhood Plan – located just south of Texas A&M University. Adopted in 2012.
This year, ordinances were adopted revising platting requirements and parking requirements in the
area, the Dexter Drive sidewalk was extended, and a code enforcement education program was initi-
ated.
Wellborn Community Plan – located in South College Station along Wellborn Road. Adopted in
2013. This year, the street overlay was completed, work on the sewer line for the area has begun,
and work began on creating several zoning districts that will be unique to the Wellborn area.
South Knoll Area Neighborhood Plan – located in the South Knoll / Southwest Parkway area.
Adopted in 2013. This year, a speed awareness program for area thoroughfares was initiated and
the beginning of a code enforcement education program was initiated.
The City’s first district plan developed under the Neighborhood, District, & Corridor planning program was
adopted last fall.
Medical District Master Plan - located in south College Station, in the Rock Prairie Road/State High-
way 6 south area. Adopted in 2012. Implementation underway includes Rock Prairie Road bridge
Page 8/October 2013/www.cstx.gov
Page 9/JAugust 2013/www.cstx.gov Page 9/October 2013/www.cstx.gov
sion, Lick Creek greenway trail under design, east-side roadway extension designs underway, Arnold Road
and Normand Drive extensions complete, and the legislation approved for the creation of Municipal Man-
agement Districts in the area.
MASTER PLANS
The City has adopted a number of specific master plans as amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan
that are currently in the implementation phase.
Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan – Adopted in 2010. This year, the City has created
more bike lanes and sidewalks, and several other sidewalks and trail projects are under design. In ad-
dition, several Adopt-A-Greenway programs have been added at several parks.
Water Master Plan - Adopted in 2010. Wastewater Master Plan – Adopted in 2011. This year, sev-
eral projects are underway, including the design of several wastewater and water line projects that
help to create development opportunities, and the completion of several projects, including infrastructure
in the BioCorridor area and a rehabilitation project in the South Knoll area.
Parks and Recreation Master Plan - Adopted in 2011. In the past year, the City has completed the
Wolf Pen Creek Festival site and completed renovations at Adamson Lagoon and Bachmann Park. Ad-
ditionally there are several plans for trails and centers underway.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
There are also several special projects that the City has undertaken in the past several years toward implemen-
tation of the Comprehensive Plan.
Demographic Profile Report – Created 2012. Based on the Census 2010 data that was recently re-
leased in its entirety, the report pulls information together in a way that is user friendly and easily ac-
cessed by our residents and business community.
BioCorridor Area PDD – Adopted 2012. Progress on both public and private projects is included in the
report.
Economic Development Master Plan – Adopted 2013.
Community Development Master Plan – Currently in development. The City has completed the exist-
ing conditions portion of the plan.
TMDL Implementation Plan - Approved by the TCEQ and the EPA in 2012. This past year several ini-
tiatives were begun, including monitoring of water quality and e.coli levels.
Storm Water Master Plan – Currently in development. The City has retained a consultant on the plan.
Like our other master plans, this will help the City and the development community size City infrastruc-
ture needs to accommodate the growth anticipated and projected in the Comprehensive Plan.
WHAT’S NEXT?
In the upcoming year, the City will continue to move forward with implementation of adopted small area plans
and master plans, and continue with the projects that are currently in development, such as the Community De-
velopment Master Plan.
The primary focus for this next year, however, is the Five-Year Comprehensive Plan Update. Similar to the An-
nual Review called for in the Comprehensive Plan, a Five-Year Update is also necessary. The scope of the Up-
date includes an Evaluation and Appraisal Report, as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. It is anticipated that
the Update will be lead by a sub-committee of the Planning and Zoning Commission and will include opportuni-
ties for public involvement.

STAFF PROFILE:
TERRY BORISKIE
TERRY BORISKIE is our Residential Plans Examiner and he began his career
with the City of College Station in June of 2001. Terry is originally from
Bryan, Texas, and graduated from Bryan High School in 1983. Although his
extracurricular activities included riding bulls in their high school rodeo, it was
apparently not his choice for a career. Instead, after graduation Terry hoped
to pursue engineering like his father, but quickly began performing electrical,
mechanical, and plumbing work gaining valuable experience that would later
benefit him as a Building Inspector with the City. In 2001, Terry was em-
ployed by the State of Texas Corrections System in the Vocational Depart-
ment performing security in the Construction Department. After a short time of
traveling 75 miles each day back and forth, Terry began to search for other
opportunities closer to home which eventually led to his career at the City.
Terry’s first job with the City was as a Building Inspector inspecting electrical,
mechanical and plumbing work throughout the City. He was promoted to his current position in 2004 review-
ing all of the residential building plans for both single-family and duplex developments, but a good majority
of his time is spent educating builders and contractors about the many building-related development codes, as
well as assisting Inspectors in the field with code-related questions.
When not at work, Terry enjoys spending time with his family, with a big goal of visiting every Major League
Baseball (MLB) Park in the United States and Canada. They’ve already checked off both Texas MLB parks in
Houston and Arlington, both Chicago MLB parks, Wrigley Field and US Cellular, and the St. Louis Cardinals
Busch Stadium in Missouri. While visiting the many MLB parks may occur from time-to-time while Terry is still
employed at the City, the majority of those visits will hopefully occur during their retirement.
Terry enjoys the variety of the sometimes challenging projects he gets to review, as well as the diverse group
of customers he gets to deal with daily, all with varying knowledge of our codes and regulations, providing
him with many opportunities to assist in identifying solutions. Terry currently maintains his State of Texas
Plumbing Inspectors License, as well as thirteen other plans examiner and inspector certifications through the
International Code Council. Terry’s main career goal is to continue to expand his knowledge of the many
building and development codes and to hopefully one day pursue a Building Official position.
Terry’s wealth of knowledge, hard work and teamwork demeanor have earned him prestigious P&DS Depart-
ment awards including Dependability in 2002 and Employee of the Year in 2005.
