Item (6.4), (6.12), and (6.16) were pulled for clarification.

fees. Since 2016, the City has collected approximately $34 million in impact fees, with about $11
million not yet allocated to projects. Council sets the collection rate, currently at 60% of the maximum
allowed, and can adjust this rate at its discretion. Impact fees are required to be reviewed every five
years and will be revisited in early 2027.
(6.12) Randell Smith, Senior Traffic Engineer, stated that College Station is standardizing school zone
times to 7:00-9:00 AM and 3:00-5:00 PM at select locations, aiming for citywide adoption. This
addresses confusion from last year's changes in school hours, with support from local schools and
CSPD. The rollout is phased due to signage updates —digital signs are remote, while physical placards
are manual. By year's end, all zones will have consistent hours for improved safety.
(6.16) Kelsey Heiden, Parks Director, reported that College Station has 4 dedicated outdoor pickleball
courts and 14 dedicated tennis courts. Bachmann Park has six striped pickleball courts without
permanent nets. Staff proposes converting two tennis courts at Bachmann into six permanent

are proposed in the FY 2027 capital budget, and the project will proceed only if funding is approved.
Grant awards are expected in early spring.

Lucas Harper, Assistant City Engineer, stated that this workshop item is presented in response to a
presentation made during the Hear Visitors portion of the April 9, 2026 City Council meeting and a
Council -requested future agenda item regarding impervious cover conditions within the Bee Creek
Drainage Basin. The workshop provided an overview of the impacts that may occur from a potential
increase in impervious cover limitations in areas that were developed prior to current stormwater
management standards. Staff discussed the City's existing regulatory framework, identify challenges
associated with redevelopment in these areas, and discussed potential policy options for addressing
stormwater impacts where existing stormwater mitigation infrastructure is limited. The purpose of this
item is to obtain Council feedback and direction regarding future changes to the City's impervious
cover regulations.
Key Considerations
The Unified Development Ordinance currently allows exceptions to impervious limitations through
the submission of an engineered drainage analysis:
• Allows for the evaluation of both Type 1 (Flood Control) and Type 2 (Conveyance Management)
mitigation for any increased stormwater runoff.
Revision to the impervious cover exception in GS may be accomplished by a change in the use table.
