MEMORANDUM May 24, 2017 TO: Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Justin Golbabai AICP, CNU-A, Planning Administrator SUBJECT: Plan of Work Update – Evaluation of UDO Regulations Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an evaluation of UDO regulations as a part of the 2017 P&Z Plan of Work. Background: This presentation is to provide staff’s initial list of UDO requirements that provide minimal value and staff identified opportunities to reduce regulations and streamline processes. The items identified by staff for modification include: • Revising the Preliminary Plan process: One significant change proposed by staff is to allow preliminary plans to be approved at an administrative level unless the applicant is seeking waivers. Additionally, staff recommends not requiring applicants to reapply for waivers previously granted. • Revising the Easement Requirements for Plats: This proposal seeks to increase the discretion granted to staff to require or not require easements on plats without taking these items to Planning Commission. It also includes providing flexibility to the requirement for 20-foot Public Utility Easements be provided at the rear of all lots. • Providing Additional Flexibility for Non-Conformities: Following a recent trend around Texas and the nation, this item seeks to provide additional flexibility and leniency on how and the extent to which non-conforming properties come into compliance with current requirements. • Reducing Site Plan Requirements: Site planning requirements identified for modification include eliminating screening requirements for mechanical equipment, vents, and exhaust equipment; eliminating dumpster door requirements; eliminating the requirement of treatment for
Planning & Development Services 1101 Texas Avenue, PO Box 9960 College Station, TX 77840 Office 979.764.3570 / Fax 979.764.3496
exposed concrete (detention pond aesthetic design item); and reducing requirements pertaining to the design of parking lots. • Increasing Flexibility for Non-Residential Architectural Standards. This item includes increasing flexibility for meeting non-residential architectural standards and modifying the City’s approach to its color palette from a list of approved colors to a list of not approved colors. • Streamlining Staff Reports/Review Criteria: Staff proposes abbreviating or eliminating staff reports for plats that are required to be approved by Planning and Zoning Commission. Additionally, staff proposes streamlining review criteria for Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Zoning reports to reduce duplicative and repetitive information and reformatting these reports to reflect the format given to City Council. • Other Miscellaneous Items: Other miscellaneous items include eliminating the Krenek Tap Overlay and the removing the requirement that site plans and signage in Wolf Pen Creek need to be reviewed by the Design Review Board. The above items are intended to help cultivate discussion and solicit feedback in order to determine which ordinance amendments staff should pursue. In addition to the items listed above, there will be additional opportunity to explore revisions to the requirements for Suburban Commercial developments, off-street parking, block length and perimeter, landscaping, bicycle racks, and signage since they are queued up as separate discussion items under the 2017 Plan of Work.
