City Council Meeting 8/22/05 Page 2 Workshop Agenda Item No. 2 -- Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a citizen request to provide for an exemption amending Chapter 4, Section 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, exempting the requirement of a permit for special events involving alcohol consumption in the Northgate Central Business District on home football game days. Chief of Police Michael Clancey remarked that on March 22, 2005 of this year, Council approved an ordinance prohibiting open containers and the public consumption of alcoholic beverages in the Northgate Central Business District. The ordinance also contained an exception that allows alcohol consumption in the Northgate Central Business District if a special event permit is issued as provided for in Section 4, Chapter 4, of the Code of Ordinances. During the July 28, 2005 Council meeting, Mr. Chris Willis representing Bryan Broadcasting Inc., spoke to Council during hear visitors and expressed a request to provide for an exception to the ordinance on all home TAMU football game days. Chief Clancy reminded the City Council that the goal of the ordinance was to improve public safety for all residents, students and visitors to Northgate by: • Addressing unregulated drinking • Addressing health and sanitation issues • Addressing increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic Since the passage of the Ordinance 2791 the required police activity has declined and sanitation issues have improved dramatically. Also, pedestrian and vehicular traffic is still a challenge but more manageable. Staff recommended not allowing a "game day" exception, and have such events pursue a special event permit as required by ordinance. The following citizens addressed the City Council regarding the proposed exemption to Ordinance 2791: Dr. Dean Briscconni, Texas A&M University Chris Willis, Bryan Broadcasting Inc. Jessica Jimmerson, Executive Director of the Northgate District Association Daniel Brightwell, 317 University Drive Katie Jackson, 3212 Old College Road, Bryan Barry Irihs, 401 University Drive Blake Kappel, General Manager at New York Sub Costa Dallis Chris Dusterhoff, 2678 Neiman Road Franklin Texas Mayor Silvia closed the public input. Mitch Dill from the local TABC office addressed the City Council clarifying various TABC permits, rules on fencing and answered questions of the City Council. City Council Meeting 8/22/05 Page 3 Council member Scotti directed staff to inquire about how the City of Austin addresses special events in their ordinance. Council recessed for a short break at 4:42 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 5:03 p.m. The consensus of the City Council was to support Ordinance No. 2791 as it is currently recorded. Workshop Agenda Item No. 3 -- Presentation, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance amending Chapter 4, Section 4, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, provides a permit for special events involving alcohol sales and consumption in the Northgate Central Business District and an ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station adding a provision for game day parking in Northgate. This item was postponed until the regular meeting. Workshop Agenda Item No. 4 -- Presentation, discussion, and possible action regarding a resolution to support keeping the "Wright Amendment" in place concerning Easterwood airport. Mayor Pro Tem Happ and Council member Berry recused themselves from this item. Don Fazzino, Manager of Special Projects and Legislative Affairs noted that the Wright Amendment represented a compromise that was designed to protect the interest of both DFW Airport and Southwest Airlines. The Wright amendment contained a general prohibition on interstate commercial aviation to or from Love Field subject to exceptions that permits Southwest's continued operations in a regional four state market. In addition, the Shelby Amendment, enacted in 1997, further expands the scope of the regional market to three additional states, but nevertheless retains the basic compromise and structure of the original Wright Amendment. The language of the Wright amendment has been the focus of several administrative interpretations by the Department of Transportation, as well as litigation at both the state and federal level. Each court decision to date has affirmed the DOT's interpretation of the Wright amendment. Dale Morris, Managing Director of American Airlines thanked the City Council for their support. No formal action was taken. Workshop Agenda Item No. 5 — Presentation, discussion, and possible action on an update on collaborative discussions with public entity partners regarding a proposed hotel and convention center.

FOR: Silvia, Happ, White, Gay, Lancaster, Scotti, Berry AGAINST: None Regular Agenda Item No. 14.2 -- Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance amending Chapter 4, Section 4, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station, provides a permit for special events involving alcohol sales and consumption in the Northgate Central Business District and an ordinance amending Chapter 10, Section 4 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of College Station adding a provision for game day parking in Northgate.

Under the ordinance, permitted alcohol-related events can be held anywhere within the Northgate Central Business District in accordance with fencing and other TABC requirements. Small non -alcohol related events in Northgate are not regulated or prohibited by this ordinance.

FOR: Silvia, Happ, White, Lancaster, Berry AGAINST: Gay, Scotti Regular Agenda Item No. 14.3 — Public hearing, discussion, and possible action to consider a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to incorporate a Water and Wastewater Master Plan Update into Section 6 of the College Station Comprehensive Plan. Director of Planning and Development Services Joey Dunn remarked that the proposed ordinance would adopt updated Water and Wastewater System Master Plans, as a component of the Comprehensive Plan, which was originally adopted in 1997. The master plans reflect water and wastewater lines needed as development occurs to serve newly annexed areas and growth corridors. The lines, locations and size have been determined through system models produced by engineering consultant in coordination with the College Station Utilities Department. The water and wastewater master plan maps function similarly to the thoroughfare plan with regard to implementation through private development as it occurs, with the opportunity for oversized participation to be requested by the developer. The plans address future utility needs within the City and the City's utility CCN's, areas where the City has the Certificate of Convenience and need to provide a given utility. The respective plan maps are the result of various engineering studies performed for the City over the last 10 years. The utility lines sizes are based on existing development trends and the comprehensive land use plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as presented. Mayor Silvia opened the public hearing. No one spoke. Mayor closed the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Happ moved to approve Ordinance No. 2823 approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment to incorporate Water and Wastewater Master Plan City Council Meeting 8/22/05 Page 9 Update into Section 6 of the College Station Comprehensive Plan. Council member White seconded the motion which carried unanimously, 7-0. FOR: Silvia, Happ, White, Gay, Lancaster, Scotti, Berry AGAINST: None Regular Agenda Item No. 14.4 — Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an ordinance rezoning 9.74 acres out of the J.E. Scott League located at 400 Harvey Mitchell Parkway south from C-1 General Commercial to C-2 Commercial - Industrial. Senior Planner Trey Fletcher presented the staff report on the applicant's request for rezoning of 9.74 acres located at 400 Harvey Mitchell Parkway south from C-1 to C-2 in order to develop light industrial and office uses. The remaining area shall remain C-1. The property to the west is zoned A -O, Agricultural Open and is owned by Texas A&M University. Properties to the north are zoned C-1, General Commercial. Across FM 2818 and FM 60 the land owned by TAMU, and is zoned R-1 and C -U. The Land Use Plan shows this area as Regional Retail. Regional Retail is defined in the Comprehensive Plan as "areas permitting regional -scale development of tax generating developments such as retail centers, service commercial, restaurants, etc. These uses are generally dependent on good access to highways and major arterials." The F&B Small Area Plan (2003) evaluated this area generally between FM 2818 and Turkey Creek Road, north of FM 60. The land use portion of this plan acknowledged this notion, providing additional thoroughfare access to the interior of the area (see Infrastructure & Facilities comments), and suggesting that Regional Retail, while still appropriate in this location should also accommodate C-2 and light industrial uses. Consideration for this was based on several factors, including: • Limited access from FM 2818 • Limited visibility due to the grade separation and higher speed limits • Beneficial proximity to Easterwood Airport, Research Park, and truck routes Due to the proximity to Easterwood Airport, an Avigation and Clear Zone Easement exist at the southern most portion of the parcel. In this area, land uses and height are restricted. However, this C-2 request is consistent with noise levels and other recommendations within the recently adopted Master Plan for Easterwood Airport. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval of the rezoning. Mayor Silvia opened the public hearing. David Hillman, Developer and Steve Duncan, 1610 Emerald Parkway supported the request. Mayor Silvia closed the public hearing. City Council Meeting 8/22/05 Page 10 Mayor Pro Tem Happ moved to approve Ordinance No. 2824 rezoning 9.74 acres out of the J.E. Scott League located at 400 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South from C-1, General Commercial to C-2, Commercial -Industrial. Council member Berry seconded the motion which carried unanimously, 7-0. FOR: Silvia, Happ, White, Gay, Lancaster, Scotti, Berry AGAINST: None Regular Agenda Item No. 14.5 -- Public hearing, discussion and possible action on an ordinance rezoning 4.7 acre tract from A -P Administrative Professional to R-4 Multi Family located at 1000 Spring Loop. Senior Planner Trey Fletcher stated that the request was previously denied by City Council on March 22nd due to concerns regarding consistency with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. P&Z reviewed the request and approved on July 21st following a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that was approved by the City Council on July 14, 2005. This rezoning request allows for the development of a multi -family residential project. The requested R-4 zone allows a maximum of 20 dwelling units per acre. A number of easements affect this property, including access easements to commercial uses along University Drive. Due to the difference in land uses, these easements will later be removed by plat, and all access will be provided via Spring Loop. This request is now in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan as amended by the City Council on July 14th. The Land Use Plan now reflects the parcel and all surrounding properties with access to Spring Loop, as Residential Attached with a density of 10-20 dwelling units per acre. The Thoroughfare Plan shows Spring Loop as a Major Collector (70' ROW). No additional right-of-way is necessary. Analysis performed by staff in support of the recently approved Comprehensive Plan Amendment revealed that this facility could reasonably accommodate the additional traffic that would be generated as a result of the proposed land use. Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval of the proposed rezoning. Mayor opened the public hearing. Greg Taggart, Municipal Development Group, spoke in favor of the rezoning and offered to answer questions of the City Council. Mayor Silvia closed the public hearing. Council member Berry moved to approve Ordinance No. 2825 rezoning 4.7 acre tract from A -P Administrative Professional to R-4 Multi Family located at 1000 Spring Loop. Council member White seconded the motion which carried unanimously, 7-0.

Kim Foutz, Director of Community and Economic Development commented that this item was to consider two representatives of the City of College Station to the Brazos Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Committee. Ms. Glenda Mariott and Dr. Joseph O'Leary were originally appointed to a two year term which expire on September 20, 2005.

Kim Foutz noted that at the June 23, 2005 City Council meeting, the Council approved a Communications Plan that outlined the public information process that would be utilized for the convention center project. This included engaging other governmental entities.
