The College Station City Council gathers Thursday at city hall for its workshop (5 p.m.) and regular (7 p.m.) meetings. Here are five items to watch:
- Student Housing in Neighborhoods: In the workshop, the council will discuss possible ways to address the impacts of student housing in single-family neighborhoods. Topics include minimum parking requirements and single-family overlays.
- Suburban Commercial Zoning: The council will consider possible changes to Suburban Commercial Zoning districts to encourage development compatible with nearby neighborhoods. Topics include architectural elements, permitted uses, buffer requirements, and lighting.
- Police Station Design Concepts: The council will weigh three fresh concepts for the design of the new police station that reflect architectural elements council members requested last month.
- Future City Hall: The final workshop presentation will be about possible locations, basic concepts and site layouts for a future city hall.
- Greens Prairie-Arrington Improvements: The consent agenda includes two items regarding the addition of a traffic signal and other improvements at the Arrington Road-Greens Prairie Road intersection. The first issue is a cost participation agreement and the second is a $650,000 construction contract.
The meetings can be watched live on Suddenlink Channel 19 or online. We’ll post a detailed live blog on this site.
