Item No. 6.2.
Housing Action Plan
Sponsor: David Brower
Reviewed By CBC: N/A
Agenda Caption: Presentation and discussion on the creation of a Housing Action Plan.
Relationship to Strategic Goals:
• Good Governance
• Core Services & Infrastructure
• Neighborhood Integrity
• Diverse & Growing Economy
Recommendation(s): To receive the presentation and provide direction to staff.
Summary:
The City is developing a Housing Action Plan to help identify ways to implement the Comprehensive
Plan’s housing goals to create more affordable housing, specifically through actions 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, and 3.9.
To help drive the effort, the College Station City Council recently appointed a 13-member Housing Action
Plan Steering Committee to recommend a plan that reflects the community’s vision for housing action and
initiatives. The committee will meet during the next several months and will engage the public and
specific stakeholders for input.
• 2.3 Creative incentives and programs to revitalize existing areas and established
neighborhoods. This could include façade or landscaping improvement programs or
rehabilitation initiatives. New programs should align with and complement existing City efforts
through the Neighborhood Partnership Program, Neighborhood Grant Program, and proposed
property maintenance programming.
• 3.4 Expand affordable housing and workforce housing. Continue to support efforts,
programs, and incentives aimed at developing affordable housing stock and assisting low - and
moderate - income citizens to secure affordable homeownership and/or rental opportunities.
Potential actions may include regulatory provisions such as:
o Development standards that reduce barriers for affordable and diverse housing types
o Pre-approved building plans or pattern books for target locations
o Incentives such as density bonuses or more flexible standards, or
o A workforce housing capital pool where a public entity establishes a fund that is used
for various types of affordable housing initiatives
• 3.6 Develop and refine data monitoring processes to analyze housing trends and define a
strategic set of actions to address housing affordability, diversity, and
gentrification. Consider existing market data, best practices, and existing regulations and
incentives.
• 3.9 Continue partnering with local nonprofit organizations and area partners to support
affordable housing options. Continue partnerships with organizations such as the Brazos
County Home Repair Coalition, Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity, Brazos Valley
Page 19 of 21
Community Action Programs, Elder Aid, Brazos County Council of Governments, and housing tax
credit developers.
At this meeting, staff will provide an update to the Commission relating to this initiative.

MEMORANDUM
November 7, 2023
TO:Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM:Molly Hitchcock, AICP
Assistant Director, Planning & Development Services
SUBJECT:H.B 3699 and Platting Authority
Item: Presentation and discussion regarding the possible delegation of platting authority to City staff.
Summary: In its regular session this past summer, the 88th Texas Legislature passed HB 3699 relating to
municipal regulation of sudivisions and approval of subdivision plans or plats. One of the elements of the bill
expanded the ability to delegate platting authority to the staff level. Currently, the Planning and Zoning
Commission has the authority to approve subdivision waivers and final plats. Staff has the authority to approve
preliminary plans and minor and amending final plats. State statute now allows for the ability to approve,
approve with conditions, or disapprove a plat to be delegated to City staff.
This item will be to discuss the current platting approval process and receive the Commission’s feedback
regarding whether staff should pursue an amendment to the Unified Develolpment Ordinance to change
platting approval authority.
