Purpose & Intent:
Hospital, Medical Clinic, Medical Office, and future development."
Permitted Uses:
Tract 1:
• Extended Care Facility / Convalescent / Nursing Home
• Educational Facility, College & University
• Educational Facility, Indoor Instruction
• Educational Facility, Outdoor Instruction
• Educational Facility, Vocational / Trade
• Health Care, Hospitals
• Health Care, Medical Clinics
• Offices
• Scientific Testing / Research Laboratory

Access
Driveway locations limited to those shown on the Concept Plan. All access points will have to meet any conditions
required by a revised Transportation Impact Analysis.
Architectural Design
The Hospital buildings will meet all minimum ordinance requirements besides those granted as meritorious
modifications. The following information relates to the architectural design on Tract 1 - the hospital building:
Exterior materials of the front elevation's two-story base will include stone, brick and glass. The addition of
architectural metal panels will complete the material pallet for the upper three floors. A strong vertical
motif is developed with the stone pillars along the two-story lobby/waiting concourse. The stone pillars are
six feet wide and occur along the concourse on 15-foot centers. The space between the pillars is recessed
18 inches and in-filled with glass curtain wall providing a regular pattern of articulation along the two-story
base. The extension of the Gift Shop, Entry Vestibule and Chapel outward along the concourse will provide
additional articulation elements. On the upper three floors the windows will protrude outward from the
building three feet continuing the articulation of the facade of the building.
Lighting
The Concept Plan includes restrictions on site lighting such that the property will be limited to a maximum mounting
height of 30 feet.
Drainage & Stormwater
The Concept Plan includes a wet pond on site for increased water quality and includes the following information
regarding the wet pond:
This best management practice (BMP) will treat the entire site of Tract 1 for water quality and provide
approximately 93% total suspended solids (TCC) removal efficiency. In addition to provide water quality,
ORDINANCE NO. 2-0 11- 3337 Page 7
the pond will also detain the 2-, 10-, 25-, and 100- year storm events. The pond will also serve as an
aesthetic landscape feature and serve as the main focal point as you enter the site.
Stormwater run-off from the developed portions of the site will be collected in roof drains, area inlet and
curb inlets. The captured stormwater will be conveyed in below-grade storm sewer conduit to the earth-
wall wet pond providing both detention and water quality. The wet pond will also serve as a source of
landscape irrigation water, ensuring the re-use of the stormwater at least once.
Base Zoning and Meritorious Modifications

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Tract 1
A new, 330,000-square-foot (SF), five-story (plus mechanical penthouse), freestanding, 143-bed
acute care Scott & White Hospital at College Station and a 10,000-square-foot (SF) Central Utility
Plant (CUP) is planned at the Southeast intersection of Rock Prairie and Highway 6. The proposed
Hospital tract (Tract 1) will encompass approximately 38.9-acres of the 97.9-acre site.
A separate 150,000-square-foot (SF), five-story, Clinic building is planned to be constructed adjacent
to the Hospital. The future Clinic will connect to the Hospital northwest corner of the first level only.
The facility will have five use-categorized entries to the facility including a main entrance for visitors, a
staff entry, a delivery entrance, an ambulance Emergency Department (ED) entrance and a Walk-in ED
entrance. There will be a circulation drive around the Hospital and clinic that will provide access from
these primary entry points. Much of the required parking, 880 spaces (two per bed and four per 1,000
SF of clinic) will be inside of the circulation drive with minimal crossing of driveways.
The Hospital will be designed to accommodate expansion at a later date; a one-story expansion at the
east side; a two-story expansion at the south side; and a three-story addition at the west end. In
addition, a future clinic and/or medical office building is proposed for up to five stories east of the
clinic. This future square footage will be approximately 350,000 square feet.
The bed units will be provide for: Intensive Care (ICU) providing continuous observation of high acuity
patients; Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) providing that same level of care for infants; Post Partum
Unit; Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU); and Medical/Surgical (M/S) Unit. Patient rooms will be private
and there will be a minimum of one isolation room per unit and two for every 24 beds in M/S.
The Hospital will contain required ancillary and support departments. The ED will contain exam rooms
and treatment bays. Imaging will contain treatment modalities required for an acute care facility,
including general radiology, CT and MRI. Space is allocated in the Hospital for a PET scanner. At
opening this modality will be provided with a mobile unit. Along with eight operating rooms in the
Surgical Department there will be cardiac catheterization labs, endoscopic procedure rooms and a
procedure center for EEG's and EKG's. Laboratory and pharmacy space will be provided to support
patient needs.
The hospital will contain a full-service kitchen to support the patients, staff and visitors and a dining
room. The design will include kitchen and support equipment. Administrative services and an
Education/ Conference Center will also be included. The 10,000 SF CUP will be in a separate structure
adjacent to the Hospital.
Exterior materials of the front elevation's 2-story base will include stone, brick and glass. The addition
of architectural metal panels will complete the material pallet for the upper three floors. A strong
vertical motif is developed with the stone pillars along 2 story lobby/waiting concourse. The stone
pillars are 6 ft wide and occur along the concourse on 15 ft centers. The space between the pillars is
recessed 18" and in-filled with glass curtain wall providing a regular pattern of articulation along the 2
story base. The extension of the Gift Shop, Entry Vestibule and Chapel outward along the concourse
will provide additional articulation elements. On the upper three floors the windows will protrude
outward from the building 3 ft continuing the articulation of the fagade of the building.
The 30-foot horizontal module and the 16-foot floor-to-floor height allows for windows and door
openings to work well with standard masonry dimensions at all levels. At the building base, the
openings are recessed into the brick and stone. The 2-story lobby/waiting area will be the focal point
for public interaction, with clinical patient areas designed to have animated features and varying
heights working within the vertical and horizontal module.
Canopies will be simple horizontal elements with a metal panel fascia, serving as an icon that becomes
recognizable at the public entries. This element will float over the length of the lobby area. Outdoor
areas will include the healing garden and exterior waiting areas, featuring trellises to provide sun
protection.
Tracts 2-7
These tracts will be available for future development and entitled by this PDD.
CIVIL/ SITE
The development of this site will be subject to the rules and regulations established by the City of
College Station except as amended here in this PDD; the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ); the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation (TDLR); Rockford Energy, due to their lease rights of the existing oil well at the northeast
corner of the site; Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU), College Station Electric (CS Electric) and Atmos Energy.
This project site is comprised of numerous existing tracts and an existing oil well within the site. The
site has an existing road, Old Rock Prairie, which will be removed, and overhead electric lines running
through the middle that will be relocated. It is covered with natural grass vegetation and has three
buildings that will be demolished. No portion of the site is within existing Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain.
The site topography falls from north to south with average slopes on the range of two percent to four
percent. The soils and geotechnical site conditions have been described in a geotechnical report
previously prepared. A revised geotechnical report and pavement recommendations will be prepared
by Terracon who has been retained by the Owner.
Future neighbors include the residential subdivision to the north and undeveloped property to the
east, neither of which currently have a direct connection to the proposed project.
Zoning
Current zoning will be changed to Planned Development District (PDD) utilizing a base zoning of C-1
(general commercial). The PDD zoning ordinance will be written to support variances to the base
zoning of C-1 for a building height maximum of six stories, landscape, signage, lighting, thoroughfare
plan and parking.
Thoroughfare Plan and Access
Access to the site will be provided from two existing roads, Rock Prairie Road and the northbound
Highway 6 frontage road, as well as four proposed roads as required by the City's Thoroughfare Plan:
Medical Avenue, Scott & White Drive, Healing Way, and Lakeway Drive as this site is within part of the
City's Thoroughfare Plan.
Parking
Parking for the new development will be provided on surface parking lots. The main circulation drives
will be heavy duty concrete or asphalt pavement and the parking areas will be light duty concrete or
asphalt pavement. Driveways from public streets, loading areas, ambulance drives, service courts and
paved areas under canopies will be concrete or asphalt pavement.
Stormwater
Stormwater runoff from these developed portions of the site will be collected in roof drains, area inlets
and curb inlets. The captured stormwater will be conveyed in below-grade storm sewer conduit to an
earth-wall wet pond providing both detention and water quality. Detention is required in the City and
providing water quality will be an added benefit to the environment. The wet pond will also serve as a
source of landscape irrigation water thus ensuring re-use of the stormwater at least once.
Wastewater Service
Wastewater will be collected from the site through a system of gravity lines leading to a lift station,
which will pump to an existing on-site manhole. The City has verified limited existing capacity for
wastewater service to this site. The City is currently undertaking wastewater studies to master plan
wastewater service for the entire system in this region.
Water Service
Initial meetings with City engineers have dictated the design of the water system, which is sized to
serve the site with a looping water line around both the Hospital and Clinic. Proper placement of fire
hydrants will meet the fire protection requirements necessary for this project. The fire lanes of at least
23 feet (face of curb) in width and parking lot radii of 25 feet will be provided to give adequate access
to the new facilities. AS this site is part of a City Water Master Plan an 18 inch waterline will be
installed along the Highway 6 frontage Road.
Electric Service
Routed across the site is Old Rock Prairie and overhead electric lines. The existing road will be
abandoned but the overhead electric lines will be relocated. Both CS Electric and BTU have lines that
must be relocated to the frontage road of Highway 6.
Natural Gas Service
This site is served by Atmos Energy. A new service line will be extended to the site along the frontage
road of Highway 6. From this service line, a feed will be extended to serve the Hospital and clinic and
a feed will be extended to the CUP.
Telecommunications Service
This site is served by Suddenlink and all components to serve this site will be installed to their
standards.
LANDSCAPE
The design focus for the project will be to provide landscaped entries, landscape areas defining
parking areas, and islands within the parking lots with shade trees and lining pedestrian isles. In
addition, irrigation may be provided through the collection of rainwater harvesting and air conditioning
condensation collection and distributed in best management practices for irrigation system to reduce
water costs.
Project design elements include planting a Texas vernacular landscape utilizing native and adaptive
native plant material, the use of indigenous hardscape materials, such as Austin Stone and
decomposed granite. Other hardscape materials will be proposed, such as concrete or concrete
pavers, cast stone planters of various sizes to display seasonal color, water features (either self
contained pumping system or pool design), and tree grates for planting trees in pavement. These
materials will create shaded walkways, benches for the exterior of the building, arbors in the
courtyards and moveable tables and chairs to provide seating for the courtyard spaces.
At least two proposed courtyard spaces located adjacent to the proposed Hospital building are being
planned at easily accessible locations for patients, their families and staff. The courtyards will be
designed to address the needs of this special user group and pedestrian flow patterns. The main areas
of this design focus include a healing garden and outdoor waiting plazas.
WAYFINDING
A complete wayfinding package will be developed to meet Scott & White standards.
Exterior sign types include, but not limited to, an illuminated entry monument, secondary monument,
primary hospital building mounted identification, building top identification logo, emergency
identification on building, vehicular and pedestrian directional signage, and parking lot identification.
Interior sign types include, but not limited to, information kiosk, mission statement, building directory
host, directionals, room identification, room numbers, restroom identification, interpretative services
sign, elevator fire evacuation and stair identification.

5.5 Planned Districts (P-MUD and PDD)
A. The Planned Mixed-Use District (P-MUD) and the Planned Development District (PDD) are
intended to provide such flexibility and performance criteria which produce:
1. A maximum choice in the type of environment for working and living available to the public;
2. Open space and recreation areas;
3. A pattern of development which preserves trees, outstanding natural topography and
geologic features, and prevents soil erosion;
4. A creative approach to the use of land and related physical development;
5. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets, thereby
lowering development costs;
6. An environment of stable character in harmony with surrounding development; and
7. A more desirable environment than would be possible through strict application of other
sections or districts in this UDO.
C. Planned Development District (PDD)
The purpose of the Planned Development District is to promote and encourage innovative
development that is sensitive to surrounding land uses and to the natural environment. If this
necessitates varying from certain standards, the proposed development should demonstrate
community benefits.
The PDD is appropriate in areas where the land use plan reflects the specific commercial,
residential, or mix of uses proposed in the PDD. A PDD may be used to permit new or innovative
concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts. While greater flexibility is given
to allow special conditions or restrictions that would not otherwise allow the development to occur,
procedures are established to insure against misuse of increased flexibility.

(30%) of any fagade for Tract 1 and 15% for Tracts 2-7. For Tracts all of 2-3 & 5, and
within 250 feet of Rock Prairie Road of tract 4 the building architecture, styles and
fagades of the structures will be similar to and consist of similar materials as those
present in the subdivisions across Rock Prairie Road (Stonebrook, etc), The pitch will be
a minimum of 4:12, or as approved by the City's design review board.
D. Additional Standards for 20,000 S.F. or Greater
In addition to the standards set out in Section 7.9.13, the following shall apply to any single
building or combinations of buildings of 20,000 gross square feet in area, whether connected or
not, but determined to be a single building plot.
E. Additional Standards for 50,000 S.F. or Greater
In addition to the standards set out in this Section 7.9.13 and 7.9.D, the following shall apply to
any single building or combinations of buildings of 50,000 gross square feet in area or greater,
whether connected or not, but determined to be a single building plot.
3. Landscaping
These requirements are in addition to and not in lieu of the requirements established in
Section 7.5 Landscaping and Tree Protection.
a. The minimum required landscape points for a site shall be double (2 x minimum
landscape points) of that required for developments of less than 50,000 gross square feet
in area. The minimum allowable tree size is two inch (2") caliper.
Streetscape point requirements remain the same and shall count toward the landscape
point requirement.
1) Tract 1 requires a total 122,808 points (50,874*2 + 21,060)
2) Tracts 2-7 per UDO
b. Trees are required along fifteen percent (15%) of the linear front of any faSade facing a
public right-of-way and shall include a minimum of one (1) canopy tree for every required
six feet (6') in length. Non-canopy trees may be substituted in the tree wells provided that
the number required shall be doubled. This landscaping shall count toward the overall
landscape requirement.
Trees may be at grade or may be raised a maximum of thirty inches (30") in height, so
long as the soil is continuous with the soil at grade. If the trees are located within interior
parking islands, then the islands shall not count toward the required interior parking
islands as described in Section 7.2.E Interior Islands.
F. Additional Standards for 150,000 S.F. or Greater
In addition to the standards set out in Sections 7.9.13, 7.9.D, and 7.9.E, the following shall apply
to any single building or combinations of buildings of 150,000 gross square feet in area or greater,
whether connected or not but determined to be a single building plot.
3. The minimum allowable tree size is two and one half inches (2.5") caliper.
4. All parking areas must be screened from the public right-of-way using berms without
exception for parking areas within 100 feet of the public right of way. Parking areas beyond
100 feet from the public right of way may choose to not provide berms so long as the area
between the right of way and parking is open space area.
7.10 Outdoor Lighting Standards
It is recognized that no design can eliminate all ambient light from being reflected or otherwise being
visible from any given development; however, the following requirements shall be followed to the
fullest extent possible in order to limit nuisances associated with lighting and resulting glare.
All lighting within each Tract shall meet the requirements of this Section.
A. Site Lighting Design Requirements
1. Fixture (luminaire)
The light source shall not project below an opaque housing. No fixture shall directly project
light horizontally.
2. Light Source (lamp)
Only incandescent, florescent, metal halide, mercury vapor, or color corrected high pressure
sodium may be used. The same type must be used for the same or similar types of lighting on
any one site throughout any master-planned development.
3. Mounting
Fixtures shall be mounted in such a manner that the projected cone of light does not cross any
property line.
a. Tracts 2 thru 5 shall be limited to a maximum mounting height of 12 feet.
b. Tracts 1, 6 & 7 shall be limited to a maximum mounting height of 30 feet.
B. Specific Lighting Requirements
1. Facade and flagpole lighting must be directed only toward the fagade or flag and shall
not interfere with the night-visibility on nearby thoroughfares or shine directly at any
adjacent residential use.
2. All lighting fixtures incorporated into non-enclosed structures (i.e., gas pump canopies,
car washes, etc.) shall be fully recessed into the underside of such structures.
7.12 Traffic Impact Analyses
A TIA has been submitted for the Proposed PDD Concept Plan, and was prepared according to the
methodology approved by the City.
Article 8. Subdivision Design and Improvements
8.2 General Requirements and Minimum Standards of Design
A. Urban Standards
17. Drainage
All drainage shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the
Bryan/College Station Unified Design Guidelines and the Bryan/College Station
Unified Technical Specifications, Chapter 13 Flood Hazard Protection Ordinance and all
applicable state and federal requirements.
Even though the City of College Station does not have a water quality requirement, we will
still be providing water quality via a Wet Pond. This best management practice (BMP) will
treat the entire site of Tract 1 for water quality and provide approximately 93% total
suspended solids (TSS) removal efficiency. In addition to providing water quality the pond
will also detain the 2, 10, 25, and 100 year storm events. The pond will also serve as an
aesthetic landscape feature, and serve as the main focal point as you enter the site.
