these areas. This district may also serve as a reserved area in which the future growth of
the City can occur.
B. Wellborn Estate (WE).
This district includes land that, due to public service limitations or a prevailing rural
character, should have limited development activities. These areas tend to consist of low-
density single-family residential lots of two acres or more but may be one acre if clustered
around undeveloped open space. This zoning district is only permitted in areas designated
as Wellborn Estate or Wellborn Estate-Open on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use and Character Map. The cluster option may be used only in the area designated
Wellborn Estate-Open on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Character Map.
C. Estate (E).

"Sec. 12-5.3. -Non-Residential Zoning Districts.
A. Natural Areas Protected (NAP).
This district is designed for publicly-owned property or private property intended for the
conservation of natural areas. Properties with this designation are relatively undeveloped and
are often used for recreational or open space purposes or for the conveyance of floodwaters.
Properties with this designation are not projected for conversion to more intense land use in
the future by the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Office (0).
This district will accommodate selected commercial businesses that provide a service rather
than sell products, either retail or wholesale. The uses allowed have relatively low traffic
generation and require limited location identification.
C. Suburban Commercial (SC).
This district is intended to provide for low-density commercial uses that provide services to
nearby neighborhoods. The SC Suburban Commercial District is intended to be compatible
with the character of suburban single-family neighborhoods. Buildings have a residential
character and scale, and sites are heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of non-
residential uses and associated parking areas on adjacent residential zoning districts. The
district allows for a range of uses, with the impacts mitigated through buffering and
architecture of the buildings.
D. Wellborn Commercial (WC).
This district is intended to provide for low-density commercial uses that provide services to
nearby neighborhoods. Such uses shall be limited in size and not accommodate for drive-thru
services. Specific design elements should be incorporated into such developments to limit the
•
visual impact on the community and enhance the defined character. This zoning district is
only permitted in areas designated as Wellborn Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use and Character Map.
E. General Commercial (GC).
Ordinance No. 2016-3792 Page 15 of 59
This district is designed to provide locations for general commercial purposes, that is, retail
sales and service uses that function to serve the entire community and its visitors.
F. Commercial Industrial (CI).
This district is designed to provide a location for outlets offering goods and services to a
limited segment of the general public. The uses included primarily serve other commercial
and industrial enterprises.
G. Business Park(BP).
This district is designed for uses that primarily serve other commercial and industrial
enterprises, and include administrative and professional offices, commercial industrial,
research and development oriented light industrial, light manufacturing, and non-polluting
industries. Uses in this district need good access to arterial level thoroughfares, but have
relatively low traffic generation and require limited location identification.
The development of business parks should be in a campus like setting with structures grouped
and clustered,and should be heavily landscaped to minimize the impacts of business park uses
and associated parking areas on adjacent properties and public roadways. Impacts of the uses
will be limited through buffering and architecture of the buildings.
The following supplemental standards shall apply to this district:
1. All processes and business activities shall be conducted inside buildings with the
exception of Commercial Gardens; and
2. All BP zoning districts will be a minimum of five (5) acres in area.
H. Business Park Industrial (BPI).
This district is designed to provide land for manufacturing and industrial activities that have
nuisance characteristics greater than activities permitted in the BP Business Park district.
Permitted uses within this district are generally not compatible with residential uses of any
density or lower intensity commercial uses. Generally,these uses need good access to arterial
roadways,but should be offset from public roadways and adjacent properties by using the BP
Business Park district and its associated development to screen and buffer the uses. The uses
allowed have relatively low traffic generation and require limited location identification.
I. College and University (CU).
This district is applied to land which is located within the boundaries of the Texas A&M
University campus or is owned by the University."

"Sec. 12-7.3.H.—Number of Off-Street Parking Spaces Required.
In computing the number of parking spaces required, the following rules shall govern:
1. Parking requirements based on square footage shall be based upon the gross floor area,
unless otherwise stated. Service areas such as mechanical rooms, restrooms, and closets
shall be included in the calculation of"gross floor area" for determining required parking
spaces;
2. Where fractional spaces result in computing required parking spaces,the required number
of spaces must be increased to the nearest whole number;
3. The parking space requirements for a use not specifically listed shall be the same as those
for the most similar to the proposed use, as determined by the Administrator;
4. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this UDO
is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling units,
seating capacity, or otherwise, parking requirements shall be met on the basis of the
enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date of
this UDO is enlarged, the enlarged building or increased use shall then and thereafter
comply with the parking requirements set forth herein;
5. Where requirements are established on the basis of the number of seats,such requirements
shall be based on the seating capacity as determined by the Building Official;
6. Where a manufacturing/industrial use has more than one (1) working shift of employees,
parking shall be provided to accommodate overlap requirements during transition
periods;
7. When the developer of a large-scale development can demonstrate that such development
will require fewer parking spaces than required by the standards of this Section, the
Administrator may permit a reduction in the number of required parking spaces for the
development. Such a reduction in parking spaces shall be justified through the
development of a parking study prepared by a professional engineer or transportation
planner and submitted to the Administrator. The balance of the land necessary to meet
Ordinance No. 2016-3792 Page 36 of 59
these requirements shall be held in reserve as an undeveloped area, to meet any future
needs generated by an expansion of the business, a change in land use, or underestimated
parking demand;
8. The Design Review Board may waive parking space requirements in the Northgate and
Wolf Pen Creek districts if the development meets the goals of the master plan for the
respective district.

façade of a primary building is facing a public right-of-way,private right-of-way, or
public way.
b. Facing. A façade is considered facing a public right-of-way,private right-of-way, or
public way when an imaginary plane could be extended unobstructed by a wall or
structure in the building plot from at least 25% of the façade into the public right-of-
way, private right-of-way, or public way adjacent to the building plot, as illustrated
below.
Ordinance No. 2016-3792 Page 48 of 59

"Sec. 12-7.13.C.1 - Zoning TIA.
Any zoning request, except for certain "redevelopment" areas, requests for R, WE,
E, WRS, GS, R-1B, D, or T zoning classifications which is expected to generate at
least one hundred fifty (150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period requires a
TIA. Where the Comprehensive Plan designates a property as "Redevelopment" a
TIA is required if the zoning request is expected to generate at least one hundred fifty
(150) vehicle trips during any peak hour period more than those generated by the
currently approved use(s) on the property. A zoning request involving multiple
zoning districts is required to have a TIA based on the total traffic generated for all
the proposed districts.A TIA may be required for a zoning request that generates less
than one hundred fifty(150)trips in the peak hour, where the peaking characteristics
could have a detrimental impact on the transportation system as determined by the
Administrator.
A TIA shall be required unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that a TIA is not necessary for the proposed rezoning request. In cases
where a TIA is required,the rezoning application will be considered incomplete until
the TIA is submitted."
