ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 38, BY ADDING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (PUD).
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS:
WHEREAS, the City Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that
Zoning Ordinance No. 38 be amended by adding a Planned Development District
(PUD);
The purpose of this addition to the City Zoning Ordinance is to permit
such flexibility and to provide performance criteria which can result in planned
developments which produce: 1. A maximum choice in the type of environment and
living units available to the public; 2. Open space and recreation areas;
3. A pattern of development which preserves trees, outstanding natural topo-
graphy 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 and thereby lower
housing costs; 6. An environment of stable character in harmony with surround-
ing development; and 7. A more desirable environment than would be possible
through strict application of other sections or districts in this ordinance.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a public hearing shall be held in the City Hall
of College Station, Texas at 7:00 P. M. on April 26, 1971 on the question of
amending Zoning Ordinance No. 38 by adding a Planned Development District (PUD).
