College Station City Council Adopts A New Housing Action Plan

The city of College Station has a new housing action plan. A 13 member committee drafted the 180 page document following four public meeting, two meetings with groups of homebuilders and developers, and more than 2,500 survey responses. Councilman Bob Yancy confirmed with David Brower of the city’s community development office that the document, “is not meant to be a know all, be all, end all road map” to address housing issues. The unanimous vote included an addition from councilman Dennis Maloney, that the plan reflects the city’s current ordinance requiring a homeowner to be living on properties where there is a second building that is used for rental housing. Councilwoman Elizabeth Cunha spent several minutes bringing up “wish list” items for future consideration that included finding parking locations for commuters who come to College Station to work and providing utility assistance to low income residents.
