Development and Homebuver Assistance: Discussion included development agreements with the city, homebuyer assistance program rebates, fee waivers based on target square footage, density bonuses, and deed -restricted home ownership. Target audience considerations included square footage, price, lot size and type, and income restrictions. Impact Fees and Considerations: Home prices are market -driven. Remaining capital expenditures would come from utility rates or property taxes. Impact fees are proportionate to the cost of providing infrastructure capacity for new development units. One-time charges on new construction can only be paid on impact fee projects. Considerations included qualification criteria, benefits, duration of fee reductions, mechanisms, and property classifications. Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments. JT Laramore, College Station, executive director of the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association, addressed the Council. He stated that fees and permit fees affect housing affordability. He explained that each $10,000 increase in costs requires the average person to earn an extra dollar per hour. For city employees, a 2.5% budget increase last year wasn't enough to cover these rising costs, making it harder to afford down payments and monthly housing expenses over time. Mr. Laramore believes that impact and park fees are adding to the final price of a home and thereby diminishing affordability in College Station. Chandler Arden, College Station, representing the Government Affairs Committee of the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association, addressed the Council regarding impact fees. He believes the Council is manipulating the housing market with fees, which have raised valuations and taxes on single-family homes and rental properties. Arden stated that Bryan had more permits than College Station since 2016 and criticized the comparison of tax rates between the cities. He argued that the higher fees make College Station less affordable and suggested that the city's market manipulation is detrimental to the community. There being no further comments, the Citizen Comments was closed. The Council desires staff and the action committee to refine ideas from our housing action plan, identifying fiscal impacts from various options. CCM 061225 Minutes Page 5 Mayor Nichols recessed the Council Meeting at 9:35 p.m. The Council Meeting was reconvened at 9:42 p.m. 7.2. Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a drainage maintenance update. Emily Fisher, Public Workers Director, provided an overview of the drainage maintenance program, which maintains 133 miles of storm sewer, 43 miles of open channels, and employs 19 full-time employees. The FY 25 budget for this program is $2,896,404. An ongoing city-wide storm sewer assessment is being conducted. Drainage Related Capital Projects • Milliff & Redmond Culvert Replacement • University Oaks Culvert Replacement • Holleman Culvert Replacement Mrs. Fisher stated that recent storms have resulted in various incidents such as street signs being affected on rainy days and vehicles navigating through flooded streets. In the Emerald Forest area, localized issues have been identified around the Rosewood Channel. The next steps involve clearing portions of Bee Creek through Emerald Forest, working with landowners for access and future maintenance, proposing the FY 26 Drainage Maintenance Fund budget, raising the Bent Oak manhole by Water Services, and addressing the permitting and ownership of the Rosewood Channel. Mayor Nichols opened for Citizen Comments. David Higdon, College Station, spoke about the need to address city-wide drainage issues, particularly water drainage in low-lying areas like near Saint Joseph Orthopedic and the Elms dental clinic. He highlighted Carol Cotter's team seeking grants for improving outdated drainage systems since new construction around Emerald Forest is impacting drainage. He concluded by saying that the Homeowners Association Board and residents of Emerald Forest are ready to contribute ideas to resolve these issues. Luke Altendorf, College Station, addressed the Council about flooding issues. He noted meetings with staff about heavy rains overwhelming Bee Creek, causing clogs and flooding up King Cole Drive. He suggested working with landowners to clear pathways and debris in the creek to improve water flow. Mr. Altendorf stressed the need for continued cooperation and funding for projects like overgrowth removal, working with volunteers, concrete repairs, and fixing a city -owned retention pond. Cheryl Wenck, College Station, addressed the Council requesting action on issues which she believes has led to frequent flooding since around 2006 when her HOA discussed the problem with the city and circulated a petition signed by 80% of the neighborhood. She stated that eight years ago, the HOA president had more meetings and managed to remove 9 feet of silt from under Appomattox Bridge but never received the promised easement to clear some floodways on Emerald Parkway.

Public Hearing, presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2025- 4596 amending the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use & Character Map from General Commercial to Urban Residential for approximately 2.752 acres at 2360 Harvev Mitchell Parkwav South, generally located south of the intersection of Harvev Mitchell Parkwav South and Dartmouth Street. Items 8.1 and 8.2 were presented together. 8.2. Public Hearing, presentation, discussion and possible action regarding Ordinance No. 2025- 4597 amending Appendix A. Unified Development Ordinance, Article 4, "Zoning Districts", Section 4.2 "Official Zoning Map," of the Code of Ordinances of the Citv of College Station, Texas by changing the zoning district boundary from GC General Commercial & OV Corridor Overlav to PDD Planned Development District for approximately 2.752 acres at 2360 Harvev Mitchell Parkwav South, generally located south of the intersection of Harvev Mitchell Parkwav South and Dartmouth Street. Jeff Howell, Planning and Development, stated that the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use and Character Map from General Commercial to Urban Residential for approximately 2.752 acres, generally located south of the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Dartmouth Street. The Urban Residential land use designation is suitable for a range of high -density multifamily and attached residential developments in various forms. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment aligns with a rezoning of the property to PDD Planned Development CCM 061225 Minutes Page 7 District with a base zoning of MF Multi -Family to facilitate additional residential development in the area. The applicant intends to develop single -unit dwellings on the subject property. Mr. Howell further explained that this request seeks to rezone approximately 2.752 acres of land, typically located south of the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway South and Dartmouth Street, from GC General Commercial & OV Corridor Overlay to PDD Planned Development District with a base zoning of MF Multi -Family. The tract proposed for rezoning consists of an un-platted property which is currently vacant. Originally zoned as C-1 (later renamed to GC General Commercial) with a corridor overlay in 2004, this zoning request aims to provide additional housing along the corridor. The applicant's requested change in zoning district is necessary to allow for a proposed single -unit development, which would be prohibited under the current GC General Commercial zoning. Additionally, the applicant seeks the removal of the corridor overlay, noting that no other PDD properties include the overlay and adjacent residential developments do not either. The applicant also requests a reduction in the minimum density requirement of MF Multi -Family and offers a benefit of limiting maximum building height. According to the Unified Development Ordinance, MF Multi - Family requires a minimum density of 12 units per acre and has no restriction on overall building height. The applicant plans to develop the property as a single unit dwelling residential development, including parking, driveways, detention, and a landscape buffer as depicted in the Concept Plan. These items were heard at the May 15th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting where the Commission voted 3-1 to recommend approval. At approximately 11:33 p.m., Mayor Nichols opened the Public Hearing. Cheryl Wench, College Station, addressed the Council about property rezoning behind City Heights, citing ongoing flooding issues across Harvey Mitchell.
