MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 3, 2014
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Carol Cotter, P.E., Sr. Asst. City Engineer
SUBJECT: Semi-Annual Report — Impact Fees 92-01 , 97-01, 97-0213, 99-01, 03-02
The Local Government Code requires semi-annual reporting in order to monitor the
progress of impact fees and to determine when an update to the fee study is necessary.
An update was completed in November 2013. There have been no major changes in
the impact fee program since the November update. Staff recommends that the
Advisory Committee forward this report to City Council for their status update.
Chapter 15, Impact Fees, of the Code of Ordinances, designates the Planning and
Zoning Commission as the Advisory Committee for review, advisement, and monitoring
of proposed and existing impact fees. More specifically, the Advisory Committee is
established to:
1 . Advise and assist the City in adopting Land Use assumptions.
2. Review the Capital Improvements Plan and file written comments.
3. Monitor and evaluate implementation of the Capital Improvements Plan.
4. File semi-annual reports with respect to the progress of the Capital
Improvements Plan.
5. Advise the City Council of the need to update or revise the Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan, and Impact Fees.
Currently the City of College Station has five impact fees in existence (four sewer lines
and one water line) of which all associated construction is complete. All five of the
impact fees underwent a Five-Year Update in 2013 in accordance with State Law. The
following is a current status report for each of the five impact fees (data changes from
the previous reporting period are presented in bold font):
92-01 Sanitary Sewer (Graham Road) (508 acres) $339.63/LUE
This fee was initially implemented in 1992 at $152.18 /LUE and was revised in 1996
to $289.77/LUE after approval of updated Land use Assumptions and Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP), revised again to the $232.04/LUE in 2000, revised again
to $316.07 in 2008, and to the current amount in November of 2013. The CIP
consists of three phases originally estimated at $543,000 which have all been
completed at a combined cost of$473,518.72. Fees collected over the last
reporting period are $790.18 for total amount of$324,292.38 (per Account #250-

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 3, 2014
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission Members
FROM: Morgan Hester, Staff Planner
mhester@cstx.gov
SUBJECT: LIDO Amendments to Fuel Signage and Electronic Reader Boards
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding an
amendment to Chapter 12 — Unified Development Ordinance, Section 12-7.5.0 "Fuel
Price Signs" and Section 12-7.5.CC "Electronic Reader Boards" of the Code of
Ordinances regarding sign regulations. Case #14-00900149 (M. Hester)
Item Background: In response to a written citizen request and requests made during
Hear Citizens at the May 12, 2014 City Council meeting, the City council directed Staff to
prepare amendments to the sign ordinance. The proposed amendments to the UDO are
intended to modify the requirements for signage to allow for larger fuel sign size and
modify the regulations for electronic reader boards.
Fuel Signage
The current ordinance limits the area of fuel signage to sixteen (16) square feet. The
proposed amendment will allow for an increase of five (5) square feet, for a total area of
twenty-one (21) square feet.
Electronic Reader Boards
The current ordinance provides the following limitations:
• Signs and displays shall not contain flashing, blinking, or traveling lights, or
erratic or other moving parts, including electronic message boards that
change more than once per twenty-four hour period, either internal or
external to the premise, and oriented and visible to vehicular traffic, provided
that time and temperature signs are permissible if the maximum area and
setback requirements of this Section are met and if the commercial
information or content of such signs is restricted to no more than eight (8)
square feet;
• Manual changeable copy or electronic reader boards are limited to thirty
percent (30%) of the allowable sign area.

TEL.979.764.3570 •FAX. 979.764.3496
cstx.govldevservices
The proposed amendment will allow an electronic reader board's message to change
once every fifteen minutes. A new section, "Electronic Reader Boards" will be created in
order to set standards for this sign type including requirements for brightness, method in
which the sign changes, ambient controls, and malfunction standards.
Staff held a stakeholder meeting on 13 June to present the proposed changes. We also
worked closely with a representative from the sign industry when developing the
language for the electronic reader boards to make sure the requirements were
consistent with industry standards. The language proposed for the sign brightness is
endorsed by the International Sign Association and used by a number of cities in Texas.
Attachment:
1. Redlines of Text Amendments
2. Written citizen request for fuel signage change
O. Fuel Price Signs.
Facilities with fuel sales will be allowed one (1) additional sign for the purposes of fuel pricing, either
freestanding or attached, per premises.
1. The area of the fuel price sign shall not exceed twenty-one (2 1)S;A6)square feet.
2. Fuel pricing may be incorporated into the allowable square footage of a Freestanding
Commercial Sign or Attached Sign.
3. This sign shall follow the setback requirements for a Freestanding Commercial Sign and shall
not be located within the right-of-way.

City Of College Station
Attn: Mr. Lance Simms
Regarding our conversation of yesterday involving College Station ordinance restricting price
signs for motor fuel stores.
The current ordinance restricts a free standing sign to 16 square feet.The history of price
signage has varied greatly, however the current 16' square feet is extremely restrictive.
Attached is a picture of a existing sign.
Please consider that in most cases the speed limits range from 40 miles per hour to 50. That, as
a given, then it becomes complicated by landscape requirements which greatly reduces the
ability of drivers to read and understand how price competitive a store may be.
We are in an industry which lives off of two major things I.E. traffic and price. If potential
customers cannot see our prices then they shop where the grocery chains can post letters two
feet tall on their canopy etc.
The large grocery chains are destroying the fuel business for 100's of smaller stores by pricing
and cross merchandising their fuel with grocery purchases. I.E. buy$100.00 of grocery and get
10 cents off. As example five or six years ago there were 8 convenience stores between
University and Harvey Road on Texas Avenue, today there are two.
Retail fuel stores must be able to display their prices so they can be readily seen. With the
advent of payment by cash--- it becomes critical that three layers of product pricing is allowed.
The current 16 foot rule basically makes this impossible. Please look at the photo shown. We
must have the ability to put three prices up which can be easily read.
Appearance- which would you rather have a store like the grocery chains that have prices all
over their canopy or one with free standing sign for fuel.
Remember we are in an industry which basically lives off price of fuel—most everything else is-
sold because of the fuel offering.
Please approve raising the square footage allowed for fuel pricing to 5'x4' at the store in
question rather than 4'x4'. The need is now.
Then as quickly as practicable please change the ordinance to allow 6'x4' rather than 4'x4'.
Thank you for trying to help, -�
