AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC. YEARLY 2762171414209691084747007118 TOTAL Coming Soon 2006 Comprehensive Plan Update! The City of College Station has begun a process to update its Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of this update is to create a more workable plan that can help guide decisions about future growth and development. WHAT IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? The Comprehensive Plan is a statement of the community's vision for the future and a guide to achieving that vision. Generally, the purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to anticipate growth and to guide that growth in a manner that provides College Station with a balance of land uses that promote economic growth while retaining the quality of life. The Comprehensive Plan is not a “zoning regulation” and it does not affect existing approved zoning. Instead, it provides the foundation for making changes or developing new regulations that implement identi- fied vision, goals and policies. The Comprehensive Plan includes, among other components, a Land Use Plan and a Transportation Plan. WHEN WAS THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADOPTED? The current Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1997. While small area and neighborhood plans have been developed since 1997, the cur- rent Comprehensive Plan has not been reviewed in its entirety since its adoption. Since 1997, College Station’s population has increased by 40%, building permits have been issued for over 5,000 single-family homes and College Station has increased in size by over 4,000 acres. WHY DO WE NEED A NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? The City is updating the Comprehensive Plan in order to determine the City's vision for the future; decide which types of development oppor- tunities are compatible with the vision; determine where and how the City should grow; provide guidance in making land use decisions; pre- serve and improve the integrity of neighborhoods and overall quality of life; and promote economic development. HOW LONG WILL THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TAKE? The update is anticipated to take several years to complete. Because public input is a vital part of a successful planning process, there will be many public meetings, work sessions, and workshops.

Page 11 City Council Approves Changes to Sign Ordinance As part of the Unified Development Ordinance annual review, the College Station City Council recently approved sev- eral changes to the sign ordinance. The changes, which go into effect on 3 July, are summarized below: Non-commercial and political signs: Language was added to section 7.4.R, limiting the size of non-commercial and political signs to 50 square feet. New language also clarifies that signs may not be placed in any public Right- of-Way and provides a time limit for the placement of signs (allows sign placement up to 90 days prior to the event and requires sign removal within 10 days after the event). Sign removal: Language was added to Section 7.4.Y, requiring signs to be removed if the associated building is demolished. When new signage is installed, it will be required to comply with the current provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance. Community Spirit Signs: Community spirit signs were relocated to Section 7.4.E (Exempt Signs) and language was added that provides for on-premise as well as off-premise community spirit signs. Signage for neighborhood groups: Provisions have been made in Section 7.4.E (Exempt Signs) to allow for neighborhood event signage with the following conditions: The name of the association sponsoring the event is featured on the signs The neighborhood group/association is registered with the City of College Station The signs are located within the perimeter of the neighborhood The signs are in good repair, and; The signs may be placed up to 14 days prior to the event, and removed within 24 hours after the event. Commercial Banners: Section 7.4.J was added to address the use of commercial banners. Commercial banners may be displayed for a 14 day period provided a permit is obtained from the City of College Station. The permit fee of $200.00 is waived for non-profit associations or organizations.

Changes to the Unified Development Ordinance Approved by City Council The College Station City Council recently approved several changes to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) as a result of the annual review process. The changes, effective 3 July, are summarized by section below: General Approval Procedures (Section 3.1) Section 3.1 of the UDO was amended to make notice requirements consistent with the Texas Local Government Code. The proposed language will make the timing of both published and mailed notices consistent regardless of the applica- tion type. Currently, some application types only require ten days for the mailed notice but 15 days for the published notice. Administrative Adjustments (Section 3.15) Developers can only apply to the Administrator for an Administrative Adjustment to those requirements related to residential, non-residential, and design district dimensional standards (Sections 5.2, 5.4 and 5.7, respectively). All other requests for a variance to the UDO will be heard by the Zoning Board of Adjustment Limited Mix of Uses in PDDs (Section 5.5.C) Section 5.5.C “Planned Development District (PDD)” was changed to allow for some mix of uses in a PDD. The pur- pose of this amendment was to delete Section 5.5.C.4 that restricts the combination of commercial and residential Volume 7 Issue 6 Page 12 UDO Changes Cont…. land uses in a PDD. Currently, this practice is only permitted in a P-MUD, or Planned Mixed-Use District. These dis- tricts do vary such that the P-MUD zoning district is identified in Section 6.2 Types of Use (Use Table) with a specific menu of permitted uses. Permitted uses in PDDs are specifically identified within the context of the rezoning to PDD. Further, P-MUD has specific requirements and thresholds that address the ratio of the mixed uses. A PDD that pro- poses a mix of uses (residential and non-residential) is only appropriate in areas where the Land Use Plan reflects Planned Development or Redevelopment. WPC Setback (Section 5.7) All residential zoning districts in College Station (with the exception of A-O and A-OR) are permitted to reduce the re- quired front setback to 15 feet when approved rear access is provided, or when side yard or rear yard parking is pro- vided. The Wolf Pen Creek (WPC) Design District requires a front setback of 25 feet for all uses, including multi-family projects. This was changed to allow for a reduced setback for multi-family projects when the above mentioned condi- tions are met. Wireless Transmission Facility (Section 6.3) Section 6.3 was amended is to encourage collocated wireless facilities by making their application process less ardu- ous and to improve the organization of this section of the UDO as it relates to the type of wireless facility proposed. Portable Storage Structures (Section 6.4.E) Section 6.4.E was amended to address the use, location, and size of portable storage structures. Farmers’ Markets (Section 6.5.A) The purpose of this amendment was to provide specific standards for farmers’ markets as a temporary use. The provi- sions are intended to address their location, signage, and define eligibility. Building Permits and Setbacks (Section 7.1) “Features Allowed within Required Yards” was amended to clarify that structures requiring building permits may be subject to additional regulations and to allow open-sided porches to extend up to 6 feet into front and side street set- backs on a limited basis. Site Design Standards References/Parking Ratios/Curbing and Surfacing (Sections 7.2.F, 7.2.G, 7.2.H) Sections 7.2.F, 7.2.G, and 7.2.H were amended to refer to the Site Design Standards. The off-street parking table now includes a ratio for freestanding furniture sales at one (1) space per 350 square feet. The table was also amend- ing by changing the ratio for motor vehicle service areas from one (1) space per 100 square feet to one (1) space per 200 square feet. This section was also changed to consistently identify the Administrator as the person with the dis- cretion to allow for alternative drive surfaces and to specify surfacing requirements. Drive-Thru Facility Queuing Requirements (Section 7.2.J) This amendment requires the design of queuing areas for drive-through facilities. Change to Alternative Parking Option (Section 7.2.K) Bicycle parking was removed as an alternative parking option. Geometric Design of Driveway Access (Section 7.3) Section 7.3 was amended as follows: Section 7.3.C.7 “Geometric Design of Driveway Access” to change acceptable curb return radii for residential from 2.5’-10’ to 3’-10’, and from 20’-30' to 25’-30’ for non-residential; To identify the Administrator as the person whom may require a larger radii; and To change the range for a residential driveway approach width from 10'-28' to 12'-25'. Page 13 Volume 7 Issue 6 Signs (Section 7.4) Non-commercial and political signs: Language was added to section 7.4.R, limiting the size of non-commercial and political signs to 50 square feet. New language also clarifies that signs may not be placed in any public Right-of-Way and provides a time limit for the placement of signs (allows sign placement up to 90 days prior to the event and re- quires sign removal within 10 days after the event). Sign removal: Language was added to Section 7.4.Y, requiring signs to be removed if the associated building is de- molished. When new signage is installed, it will be required to comply with the current provisions of the Unified Devel- opment Ordinance. Community Spirit Signs: Community spirit signs were relocated to Section 7.4.E (Exempt Signs) and language was added that provides for on-premise as well as off-premise community spirit signs. Signage for neighborhood groups:Provisions have been made in Section 7.4.E (Exempt Signs) to allow for neighbor- hood event signage complying with the following conditions: The name of the association sponsoring the event is featured on the signs The neighborhood group/association is registered with the City of College Station The signs are located within the perimeter of the neighborhood The signs are in good repair, and; The signs may be placed up to 14 days prior to the event, and removed within 24 hours after the event. Commercial Banners:Section 7.4.J was added to address the use of commercial banners. Commercial banners may be displayed for a 14-day period provided a permit is obtained from the City. The permit fee of $200.00 is waived for non-profit associations or organizations Solid Waste Standards (Section 7.8) Section 7.8 was amended to allow City staff more discretion with the standards for solid waste services, warn property owners that dumpster screening should be located outside of utility easements, clarify that special standards do not apply to small-lot single family but instead apply to townhouses, and to provide guidelines for 300-gallon side-loading automated containers. Non-Residential Architectural Standards (Section 7.9) Section 7.9 was reorganized into a format that is easier to understand—by building/building plot size in a cumulative manner. A summary chart of requirements is also proposed for the beginning of the section. Because this is the first review of the NRA, there were several grammatical changes and overall wordsmithing of the section. Following are the specific changes: Section 7.9.A “Applicability” to clarify that the non-residential architectural standards apply to all non-residential development, redevelopment, and façade changes. Section 7.9.B “Standards for All Non-Residential Structures”: graphic added to summarize the requirements of the non-residential architectural standards, to define what façades face a right-of-way, and to define what consti- tutes a right-of-way. A graphic was also added to help clarify when a facade faces a right-of-way. Section 7.9.B.2 “Building Mass and Design” to remove requirements for front building façades and have them ap- ply to all façades facing a right-of-way. Section 7.9.B.3 “Building Materials” to clarify that existing buildings may utilize non-conforming building materials for maintenance purposes, but any material change or replacement of more than 10% of the total area of all facades shall require material and color compliance; to establish a minimum percentage of surface area that must utilize a required building material; to clarify which concrete products are allowed; to restrict reflective glass on all façades facing a public right-of-way; to add an exception to the reflective glass limitation; and to add a restriction against unbuffered painted steel panel siding and galvanized steel use from residential areas. Section 7.9.B.5 “Pedestrian/Bike Circulation & Facilities” to include a standard for how much area is needed for a bike rack and to only allow the racks to be anchored to the ground. Volume 7 Issue 6 Page 14 Section 7.9.B.6 “Parking Lots” to clarify that drive aisles are considered part of parking areas. Section 7.9.D “Additional Standards for 20,000 S.F. or Greater” to set a minimum percentage of surface area that must utilize a required building material and to remove the requirement for a 30-inch band of specified material at the base of buildings. Section 7.9.E.1 “Building Mass and Design” to remove requirements for front building façades and have them apply to all façades facing a right-of-way for 50,000 sq.ft. or greater buildings/building plots. Section 7.9.E.3 “Landscaping” to define minimum tree well requirements and to allow for unlimited substitutions of non-canopy trees for canopy trees against a building. Section 7.9.E.4 “Pedestrian/Bike Circulation & Facilities” to set a standard of brick pavers or stamped dyed concrete for required walkways in parking lots for 50,000 sq.ft. or greater buildings/building plots. Section 7.9.F “Additional Standards for 150,000 S.F. or Greater” to increase the minimum area for a plaza from 200 to 500 sq.ft., clarify that the area of a plaza can not count towards parking lot island requirements, remove the option of vegetation shading as a minimum component of a plaza, set a minimum percentage of surface area that must utilize a required building material, and require parking areas to be screened by berms. Section 7.9.G “Variances – Design Review Board” to increase the amount of an allowable variance from 75% to 100% of the total percentage of a standard. Section 7.9.H “Submittal Requirements” added to define what information is needed from the developer at what time in the development process. Definitions (Section 11.2) The following specific definitions were changed in Article 11: Building Plot or Premises: All of the land within a project, whether one or more lots, developed according to a com- mon plan or design for similar or compatible uses, that may have shared access or parking, and that singularly or in phases is treated as such for site plan review purposes. The determination of the boundaries of a building plot shall be made as the first step in the site plan or project review, unless such determination has previously been made at the time of plat approval. For development not subject to site plan review, the building plot or premises shall be the exte- rior boundary of any included lots, in the event that the structure sits astride two or more lots. In the event that two or more lots are under single ownership and the structure does not meet the required side yard setback, both lots shall be considered the building plot or premises. Demolished sites located in larger parking lots that may not have pre- viously been considered part of a larger building plot, will be considered part of the plot if access is shared with the site. Clinic: An institution, public or private, or a station for the examination and treatment of out-patients by a group of doctors, dentists, opticians, veterinarians, psychologists, or other similar medical professionals. In general, a clinic shall not exceed 20,000 square feet in size and larger clinics shall be considered to be hospitals. A facility operated by one or more physicians, dentists, chiropractors, or other licensed practitioners of the healing arts for the examination and treatment of persons solely on an outpatient basis. Hospital or Sanitarium: A building, or portion thereof, used or designed for the medical or surgical treatment of the sick, mentally ill, or injured persons, primarily on an inpatient basis, and including as an integral part, related facili- ties such as laboratories, outpatient facilities, or training facilities; provided that this definition shall not include rooms in any residential dwelling, hotel, or apartment hotel not ordinarily intended to be occupied by said persons.
