Shelby Behm, College Station, came before Council as resident of Midtown and express her concern
over the lack of commercial development in the area. She stated that her Municipal Utility District
taxes have increased and believes this is partially due to the lack of promised amenities and
development in the area.
Shirley Dupriest, College Station, appeared before Council to discuss the enforcement of occupancy
and to read a piece about rental registration and the challenges facing College Station.
CCM 012325 Minutes Page 2
Fred Dupriest, College Station, discussed occupancy enforcement and what he described as a "black
box" of silence between the Occupancy Enforcement Alliance (OEA) and the City around over -
occupancy cases. He believes that the city should be providing the OEA with information related to
the challenges of enforcement so his organization can help obtain convictions.
Richard Woodward, College Station, came before Council to state that the occupancy ordinance is not
being observed by the community at large due to a lack of meaningful enforcement. He believes the
focus on education has been good but would like to see the city focus on enforcement in the coming
year.
Justin Manning, College Station, came before Council as the Vice President of the Northgate
Association to say thank you for working business owners and operators in Northgate, and they look
forward to working with staff on the small area plan.
Jacob McFarland, College Station, appeared before the council to discuss the enforcement of the
occupancy restrictions. He believes the laws are not being followed and that is partially due to a lack
of enforcement by the city but not due to a lack of effort on the part of the community.
Scott Lovett, College Station, spoke to the Council over the rejection of his ETJ petition for 96 Acres
on Stousland Road. He believes the Council is breaking state law by denying his petition a few months
ago.

Jeff Howell, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from Mixed Residential to General
Commercial for approximately 1.047 acres, generally located east of the intersection of Holleman
Drive South and Cain Road. 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 the property to GC General Commercial to allow for additional
commercial uses in the area. It is the applicant's intent to develop uses allowed within the proposed
General Commercial zoning district on the subject property.
Mr. Howell explained that this request is to also rezone approximately 3.30 acres of land generally
located south of the intersection of Holleman Drive South and Cain Road from R Rural and T
Townhouse to T Townhouse and GC General Commercial. The tract proposed to be rezoned consists
of two un-platted properties and a small portion of common area which was platted in October 2024
as part of Barracks West Phase 1 subdivision. The majority of the property was originally zoned R
Rural upon annexation to the City in 2002, while a small portion was recently rezoned to T Townhouse
in 2023. This zoning request is in effort to provide additional housing and residential density to this
area, as well as commercial uses along the corridor. The applicant is requesting the zoning district
change to allow for a proposed townhome development which would not be allowed on properties
zoned R Rural. The applicant is also requesting the commercial zoning district for a proposed
commercial development which would not be permitted within the R Rural or T Townhouse zoning
districts.
These items were heard at the January 16th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting where the
Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval.
At approximately 8:58 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearings for 9.2 and 9.3.
