The Southside Area Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City Council on September 13, 2012. The Southside Area is one of the oldest areas in College Station – it includes portions of the original City limits established with incorporation of the City of College Station. The planning area is made up of just over 720 acres (1.14 square miles) located directly across from the southern edge of the Texas A&M University campus, and is bounded by George Bush Drive, Wellborn Road, Southwest Parkway Welsh Avenue, Holleman Drive and Texas Avenue.
