THE BATTALION
Thursday, November!'
CS redefines city ordinance
By Courtney Stelzel
THE BATTALION
The city of College Station is undergo
ing an upheaval of zoning and driveway
ordinances, subdivision regulations and
portions of drainage ordinances under the
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
This document is more than 300-pages and
was written by the city, outlining the regu
lations and requirements concerning the
city’s ordinances.
The revisions are being made through the
Planning & Zoning (P&Z) Commission and
Development Services. Known as the
Unified Development Code Project, a group
of consultants are writing most of the new
processes, but city staff also are working to
ensure that their work is what the city is
looking for, said Sabine Kuenzel, senior
planner for College Station.
The project is designed to streamline the
ordinance process and give the city a chance
to find any overlaps or inconsistencies
amongst the ordinances, Kuenzel said.
Kuenzel said that there are two
goals for the committees currently
reviewing the UDO.
“One, we want to streamline develop
ment requirements, making it more user-
friendly,” Kuenzel said.
Kuenzel said their goal is to address a
list of issues the College Station City
Council and P&Z Committee came up with
to this point.
She said the project allows the city to
address new trends that other cities are
dealing with.
“For instance, open space ordinances
that we currently don’t have can be
addressed by the city council,” Kuenzel
said..
The new document will incorporate
much of what the P&Z Commission cur
rently does, as well as define new require
ments to the ordinance process i
alternatives to issuing an ordinance L,
“Some changes are more signific
others,” Kuenzel said.
She also said that public pr

Houston faces mayoral runof
Brown v. Sanchez, the decision will he made Dec
)ALLAS (A
By or Ron K
HOUSTON (AP) — A day
after voters decided Houston’s
first black mayor should be in a
runoff election with a council
man who could become the
city’s first Hispanic mayor, both
men stressed their differences.
“There is a clear difference
between the two of us in what
we believe,” said two-term
incumbent Lee Brown
Wednesday, pointing to his sup
port for affirmative action, after
school programs and construc
tion of new sports arenas.
Cuban-born challenger
Orlando Sanchez said he too
believes in the goals of affirma
tive action but takes a different
approach to achieving them. As
far as after-school programs,
Sanchez said he supports them
when they work. But he said
Brown has mismanaged the city
and voters should give him the
chance to repair it.
“I think our issues were the
right issues,” Sanchez said.
“Our campaign did nothing but
take off like an airplane. We’ve
got great momentum.
“What people want is some
one who will roll up their
sleeves, eliminate the waste
and talk straight to the peo
ple,” Sanchez said. “Of all the
citizens who voted, almost 60
percent voted against the
incumbent and for change. We
are going to get our fiscal
house in order, get our traffic
moving again and take pride in
our city again.”
Brown collected 125,187
votes, or 44 percent, in
Tuesday’s election, edging
Sanchez, with 115,965, or 40
percent. Another councilman.
Chris Bell, had 45,737, or 16
percent. Three other unfunded
candidates shared less than 1
percent of the votes.
Since neither Brown nor
Sanchez received 50 percent of
the vote, the political opposites
will face each other in a runoff
Dec. 1.
Brown, 64, campaigned last
year for A1 Gore, the
Democratic presidential candi
date. Sanchez, 43, is a conserva
tive Republican.
Bell, a Democrat, said he
would meet with both and then
make an endorsement based on
the issues.
“It could be quite a slugfest
and I suspect, jt will be,” Bell
said of the runoff campaign.
Political analysts say the
runoff will be based on partisan
politics in what is officially a
nonpartisan race.
“Brown is going to try and
paint Orlando Sanchez as
much farther to the right than
most of the voters in Houston
to make sure none of the
moderate Democratic vote
goes to Sanchez,” said Kent
Tedin, chairman of the
University of Houston politi
cal science department.
“Even though this is a non
partisan race, a lot of it has been
driven by partisan politics and
some identity with race,” he
said. “There hasn’t been any
overriding issue.”
Tatcho Mindiola, the director
of the University of Houston’s
Center for Mexican-American
Studies, said Sanchez’s story of
leaving Cuba with his family
after the Castro takeover and of
finding success in America is
playing well among Houston
Hispanics.

“Hispanics want a piece of
the action. They are the new kid
on the block and that apparently
is more important to them then
the issues,” Mindiola said. “For
Mexican-American voters it’s
the opportunity to vote for a
cousin.”
But Tyrone Tillery, an asso
ciate professor of history and
race relations at the school, said
he does not agree that Mexican-
