Staff report given by Bobby Ray. The property totals 9.10 acres and is located on Williams Drive bounded (approximately) by Cottonwood Drive to the south , Power Road to the northeast and Ranch Road to the southeast. All of the properties are contiguous, with the exception of an outlot consisting of 2 parcels located at the intersection of Mesquite Lane and Judy Drive.

There are two parcels along the Williams Drive frontage that are designated for Office / Service use, and the parcels interior to the site are designated for residential use. The intensity level for the site is “3”.

Small areas of the OF District may be appropriate adjacent to most residential uses, and as a transition between residential areas and commercial areas”. The request for the OF, Office zoning accommodates the current use and provides the aforementioned buffer between the more intense commercial uses of Downtown and the residential character and uses of Old Town . The property is located just south of the Downtown Overlay District border and within the Old Town Overlay District. Properties to the north are zoned MUDT, Mixed Use Downtown district and properties to the south are zoned RS, Residential Single Family district.

The proposed OF, Office zoning district provides a buffer between the two overlay districts . Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Bob Hugley, 1208 S.

Per the amendment to Section 3.13.080 all other procedures regarding the appeals process are kept in place. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by McMichael to recommend to the City Council approval of the ordinance amending table 2.01.020, Section 2.04.010(A)(2) and 3.13.080 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) relating to appeals from the decision of the Historical and Architectural Review Commission. Second by Moore. Approved 7-0. Public Hearing and Possible Action on amendments to Section 11.03 (Preservation of Natural Features and Trees ) of the Unified Development Code to add a Heritage Tree Protection Requirement and Section 11.03.020, (Tree Survey Required ) to eliminate the five gross acre exception for Non-residential development. Staff report given by Heather Brewer, Urban Forrester. During the City Council workshop meeting September 25, 2006 the City Council authorized city staff to begin processing an amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC) for the inclusion of a Heritage Tree Ordinance and eliminating the five acres or larger provision for requiring tree surveys on Non-residential development. Currently the UDC only requires non-residential sites that are 5 acres or greater to provide tree surveys and require tree protection and mitigation for removal of certain trees . This amendment would remove the exception for sites under 5 acres. The proposed changes also include adding a section that would define and designate a process for the protection of Heritage Trees. The following trees that measure 30 inches or greater in diameter at breast height (DBH) would be subject to the restrictions of code: Live Oak, Post Oak, Shumard Oak, Bur Oak, Chinquapin Oak, Montgomery Oak, Bald Cypress, American Elm, Cedar Elm, Pecan, Walnut, Texas Ash, Southern Magnolia. Any tree that fits this description would require review through a process set by this amendment and a permit from the City’s Urban forester before being pruned or removed. In order to assist a developer to keep Heritage Trees on a site, the proposed amendment includes tools and incnetives, which will give staff the ability to allow some flexibility on the site plan to save trees. If the applicant has been denied a permit to remove a Heritage Tree, the decision would be appealed before the City Council. Individuals that remove or prune Heritage Trees without a permit would be subject to a combination of penalties including monetary fines and elevated tree mitigation requirements. Chair Anderson asked staff if there has been an economic impact study done. Staff said “no”. Commissioner McMichael asked staff for the cost of a tree survey. Staff did not know the cost. Melissa McCollum stated that currently the UDC states that a tree survey is done on a tract that is more than 5 acres with trees 12 inches or more in diameter. The propose change ask for a tree survey to be done on a 5-acre or less commercial/residential tract with trees 12 inches or more in diameter. Commissioner McMichael asked staff if someone has a 30-inch diameter tree in their yard, will they need a permit to prune it? If so, what would be the cost of pruning the tree? Staff stated cost has not been determined, but will be addressed if the ordinance is adopted . Staff informed the Commissioners in order to protect designated heritage trees, staff recommends a certified arborist or an employee of the company to prune the tree. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. John Gavurnik, 2004 Williams Dr stated he strongly supports an ordinance of this type, however, there are several requirements in the proposed ordinance that he feels is not workable. Mr. Gavurnik stated he is currently having a tree survey done on a 48-inch diameter tree and is glad to pay for, but does not feel he should be forced to pay for a tree survey. Mr. Gavurik stated that he feels this ordinance is being pushed through without public opinion. Mr. Gavurik stated he agrees with the incentive section of the ordinance and knows staff worked hard on this proposed ordinance, but feels there are concerns that need to be addressed before being presented to City Council. Melissa McCollum informed the Commissioners this proposed ordinance was a hold over from some of the City Council’s concerns from last time. These issues were recently brought up again because of the concern to protect these heritage trees . In the past, some one and two acre business lots would clear-cut every tree on the site and no mitigation or tree surveys were required. Melissa McCollum stated that unfortunately, there is a cost involved for a tree survey, but staff proposes incentives in the ordinance to help defray the cost. Melissa stated a survey would be required for all commercial projects with trees 12 inches or more in diameter. A survey will be required only for residential projects with trees 30 inches or more in diameter. Motion by Lawson to recommend approval to remove the 5-acre minimum requirement for requiring tree protection for Non-residential development. Second by Shield. Approved 4-3. (Anderson, McMichael, Moore) Motion by Shield to recommend denial of creation of the Heritage Tree Preservation section 11.03.020 within the Unified Development Code. Second by McMichael. Approved 6-1 (Milburn) Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the intensity level from level 1 to level 4 for 151.032 acres in the Antonio Manchaca Survey, Abstract 421, and 166.1854 acres in the William Roberts Survey, Abstract 524, also to be known as 35 Business Park Limited, located east of IH-35 along FM-972. CPA-2006-017 Staff report given by Jordan Maddox. The subject properties are located at the corner of FM 972 and I-35 in two parcels. The owner is requesting a Level 4 designation on property that is designated Light Industrial on the Future Land Use Map. As this project lies outside of the Georgetown Water CCN (Certificate of Convenience and Necessity) and currently is past any extensions of wastewater lines, the applicant explored alternative wastewater possibilities and reached an agreement with Georgetown Utility Systems (GUS) on a treatment facility. A letter of fire flow was also reached by the applicant with the Jonah S.U.D. (Special Utility District) and the Chisholm S.U.D to provide acceptable fire flow for the proposed development. Staff is recommending approval of the Century Plan Amendment because the Intensity Level increase from 1 to 4 is more consistent with the Future Land Use designation for the area, which is Light Industrial. The water service letter of intent secured by the applicant is sufficient for the proposed use and for emergency services and The project is within the City of Georgetown Wastewater Service area and the agreement reached with G.U.S. assures that the area can be readily served with wastewater for the future. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Doug Lewis, 1301 S. IH 35, Ste 200, Austin stated he will be glad to answer questions. Mr. Lewis stated the property is designated for commercial, light industrial and retail. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Eunice Hastings, 501 CR 972 stated she is concerned with the type of light industrial, which will be located across the street from her home. She stated she is for growth, but is concerned with the water and air supply. David Munk stated the City does not have control use in the ETJ. The developer has worked extensively with the water company who will be able to meet the water demand. Motion by Shield for approval of an ordinance of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the Intensity Map from Level 1 to Level 4, for 151. 032 acres in the Antonio Manchaca Survey, abstract 421, and 166.185 acres in the William Roberts Survey, abstract 524, located at FM 972 and IH-35. Second by Milburn. Approved 7-0. Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the land use from Residential to Mixed Use for 51.5 acres in the Lewis Dyches Survey (A-180), located south of SE Inner Loop and east of Blue Springs Boulevard. CPA-2006-018 Staff report given by Jordan Maddox. This project was an Economic Development project that is requesting voluntary annexation along with its Land Use Change. The City recently received voluntary annexation from the county of the portion of SE Inner Loop directly north of this site. This allowed the City to be close enough to this site to be able to annex by way of an easement connecting the site to the Inner Loop (shown on Exhibit A). The data center targeted for the site has requested a mixed-use land designation that will be appropriate for its use. The existing Intensity Levels are sufficient at 3 and 5. The site is within the Georgetown water and wastewater service area and service will be extended to the project. The applicant is submitting a zoning change and plat simultaneously, as well as a petition for voluntary annexation. Staff is recommending approval of the Century Plan Amendment because the Future Land Use change from Residential to Mixed-Use is consistent with the Future Land Use designation for the area directly to the north and west, which is also Mixed-Use. This area is also well suited for mixed use, this designation allows for many development options in the future, the intensity level designation for the site is appropriate for this type of development, and the project is within the City of Georgetown Water and Wastewater Service area. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Milburn to approve the Ordinance Comprehensive Plan Amendment Future Land Use Change from Residential to Mixed-Use for 51.5 acres in the Lewis P. Dyches, located near Blue Springs and SE Inner Loop. Second by Shield. Approved 7-0. 8.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning of 51.76 acres in the Lewis Dyches Survey, Abstract No. 180, from AG, Agriculture District to OF, Office District located south of the Southeast Inner Loop and east of Blue Springs Boulevard (REZ 2006-038). Staff report given by Bobby Ray. The 51.76-acre property is located on the south side of Southeast Inner Loop and east of Blue Springs Boulevard. The zoning request includes an 11,443 square foot strip extending from the property to the Inner Loop right-of-way. The property is currently in the voluntary annexation process to be brought into the City Limits. Upon completion of annexation, the property will be zoned as AG, Agriculture consistent with the default zoning for newly annexed territory. The Future Land use Plan designates the property as “Residential” with an Intensity Level is of “4”. A concurrent application is being processed for a land use plan amendment from “Residential” to “Mixed Use”. The applicant is requesting an OF, Office zoning which serves as an implementing district of the “Mixed Use” designation. The proposal is a rezoning request from AG, Agriculture to OF, Office to allow for the development of a data center. The proposed development consists of an approximately 305,000 square foot data storage facility, employing approximately 35 people. The purpose of the OF zoning district is intended to provide a location for offices and related uses. The uses allowed have relatively low traffic generation . Small areas of the OF District may be appropriate adjacent to most residential uses, and as a transition between residential areas and commercial areas. Chair Anderson stated a datacenter that is 300,000 square feet requires gigantic air conditioning units outside because of the tremendous amount of equipment to keep cool on the inside also large generators on the roof or outside in case the electricity shuts down. Chair Anderson also stated he has seen barbed wire used around the buildings along with laser beams to detect intruders. Chair Anderson asked staff if rezoning to office use would be enough for a project of this size. Bobby Ray stated the use for this project qualifies for office use rezoning. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Kelly Bell with Bury and Partners stated she is the applicant for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request for this property. Ms. Bell stated she and her client is comfortable with the office use rezoning and feels it is the best one that fits the project. Ms. Bell stated the project will require cooling towers and will have air conditioning units, but not the size Chair Anderson stated . There will also be generators on site in case the power goes down located next to the building enclosed by a fence. Ms Bell is uncertain regarding the use of barbed wire. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Johnny Stanford, 430 CR 166 stated he is concerned with the size of the facility, the access and the remainder of the tract. Staff stated an easement from inner loop was granted. The remainder of the tract is zoned residential and not in the city limits. Chair Anderson closed the Public Hearing.

The property was rezoned in 1996 (Ordinance No. 96-31) from RS, Residential Single Family to RP, Residential Planned to accommodate an office use. The RP zoning approval was conditioned upon submittal of a Detailed Development Plan (DDP) for Commission and Council review to “determine the proposed use will preserve the historic appearance of the property and will not create detrimental uses of the property, including but not limited to, excessive noise and traffic...” With the adoption of the UDC in 2003 all RP zoned properties were transitioned to the PUD district. The applicant is seeking a rezoning from the current “RS”, Residential Single Family district to “MUDT”, Mixed Use Downtown district.

FP-2006-040 Staff report given by Melissa McCollum. Lakewood Estates Subdivision is an existing platted subdivision located north of Sun City in the City of Georgetown’s ETJ. This subdivision contains large single-family residential lots built to rural standards. This subdivision was recorded with Williamson County on August 11, 1980. Lots 11-12 are a total of 6.17 acres.

Commissioner Shield stated she agrees and understands Ms. Tooley’s concern. Ms. Shield stated that she feels the applicant has found a way to go around the guidelines feels there is a principal issue here. Ms. McCollum stated the City does not dictate on uses of a property in the ETJ. Commissioner Shield asked if there were any deed restrictions for the neighborhood.

Motion by shield for approval of a final plat for the resubdivision of 6.1739 Fredrick Foy Survey (A-229) being Lot 11 & 12, Lakewood Estates, Block D, located at 6824, 6826, and 6828 South Lakewoods Drive. Second by Milburn. Approved 7-0. Consideration and possible action on a Special Use Permit to allow indoor entertainment in the MU-DT, Mixed Use Downtown district on a 0.0992 acre part of Lots 1, 2, & 4 (part), City of Georgetown, Block 41, located at 704 South Austin Avenue. SUP-2006-002 Staff report given by Rebecca Rowe. The zoning is MUDT, Mixed Use Downtown with an intensity level 6. The Future Land Use Plan designation for the site is “Downtown.” The applicant is seeking a Special Use Permit for a special event facility, which is classified as Indoor Entertainment per Table 16.03.050 (B) of the Unified Development Code. The facility would have the capacity for seated service of parties up to 230 people on the first floor and a mezzanine level. The space will also include a “bridal” room, new restrooms and a caterer’s prep kitchen. The facility would be made available for weekend rentals in 8-hour blocks and shorter periods during the week. The business would cater to weddings and wedding receptions as well as conference space, business meetings , corporate training and fundraisers. The applicant’s intention is to use Georgetown businesses, particularly downtown businesses, on its “preferred vendors” list. They are also looking into the possibility of leasing space in the facility to event and wedding industry vendors to create a retail use during regular business hours when the facility is not booked for an event. The applicant was asked to submit a floor plan illustrating the use of space proposed for the facility. This floor plan indicates that the structure is adequate for the proposed use. Additionally the applicant intends to provide the option of valet parking for events. However, the issue of primary concern is that the use would essentially create a dead space in the retail face along the 700 block of South Austin Avenue , which is something that is not in keeping with the Downtown Master Plan. The addition of the proposed retail use during regular business hours would be essential in maintaining the active uses in the first floor of the buildings along this block and thereby maintaining the viability of the Downtown as a retail destination. Commissioner Milburn asked staff what would happen if the applicant were not able to fill the dead space. Rebecca stated the applicant would not be able to gain a certificate of design compliance. Rebecca stated staff is just a little concerned with the dead space during the day. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Danielle Penland stated they are interviewing venders to set up shop in the dead space that can easily be stored during the evening. Ms. Penland states she currently works with other event planners and will be using it as office space. Commissioner Lawson asked staff to address the parking issue. Rebecca Rowe stated there is no parking requirement in area one of the downtown overlay district, but are proposing valet parking. Commissioner Shield stated there is plenty of parking in that area. She also feels this is a great opportunity to bring more people downtown. Motion by Shield to recommend to the City Council approval of the Special Use Permit allowing the indoor entertainment use for City of Georgetown, Block 41, Lots 1 – 2 (PTS) and 4 (PT) located at 704 South Austin Avenue with the condition that a retail and/or office component with regular business hours be included in the space.

Consideration of the Minutes of the September 5, 2006 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Motion by Moore to approve the Consent Agenda item , which includes the minutes. Second by McMichael . Approved 7-0. Regular Agenda 2.Consideration and possible action on a public review final plat of 84.10 acres out of the J.T. Church, J.D. Johns and W.E. Pate Surveys, to be known as the Planned Unit Development of Escalera Ranch, Section Six, located off Escalera Parkway, with a variance to the subdivision regulations. PP-2006-025 Staff report given by Carla Benton. The parkland requirements have been met by dedication of land on previous sections. A concept plan for an 1150-acre PUD was approved by City Council on March 23, 1999 and on April 12, 2005; the City Council approved an amendment to the Development agreement. This is the last remaining section of the original concept plan that is proposed to be developed under that agreement. The remainder of the acreage is proposed to be developed as part of a different Development. Section six is proposed to develop 64 single-family residential Lots, with three open space Lots. The open space Lot in Phase I, Block D contains an additional 20-foot buffer between section six and existing sections one and two. Additionally two of the open space Lots have been located to provide for cave structures, as noted on the plan. The proposed development is consistent with the design and density approved on the concept plan, which specifies 64 Lots proposed for Section Six. A variance to the subdivision regulations is requested to Section 36050B which states, “Lots in rural subdivisions shall have a minimum width at the front property line 120 feet, except on cul-de-sacs, which may have a minimum width of 85 feet at the front property line, provided a 50 foot setback is established and the 120 foot width is achieved at the 50 foot setback.” The applicant is proposing to reduce the Lot width as needed along curves and within cul-de-sacs and adjacent to the open space Lot in Block A, Lots 2 and 3 which have been reduced to provide access to a remote open space Lot. This tract is a fairly long narrow curving section of the Development, but is consistent with the design of the Concept Plan. It is our recommendation that all Lots with reduced Lot width be required to provide an additional front setback to meet the 120-foot Lot width at the building setback line up to a maximum setback of 100 feet. Public comments have been received from the neighbors in Escalera Ranch. Chair Anderson Invited the applicant to speak. Kelly Bell with Bury and Partners stated she feels the variance they are requesting is consistent with the additional improvements with other project that have been approved in the Georgetown Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. David Klein, 212 Montell Drive in Escalera Ranch Subdivision stated he and his family just moved the Escalera Ranch because of the country setting . He had to sign a strict restricted covenant and feels by granting this variance it will go against the covenant that he and his neighbors have to abide. He feels Ryland Homes is more concerned with selling as many homes as they can and not concerned with the quality of life. Mr. Klein urged the commissioners to deny the variance request or at least delay the decision so the builder can respond to some of the neighbors concerns. Leo Wade, 208 Montell Drive. Mr. Wade agrees with what Mr. Klein stated, feels the residence of Escalera bought into a concept, and feels the builder is trying to deviate from that concept. Evelyn Young, 200 Escalera Drive, stated she agrees with Mr. Wade and Mr. Klein statements. Ms. Young stated that she has a hard time believing that it’s typical for a subdivision to come before you where 30% of the Lots are asking for a variance. Ms. Young requested the commissioners to deny the variance. Bill Anecelle, 300 Escalera Pkwy, stated that 1-acre Lots do not exist in Escalera and feels changing it to 1-acre Lots is only created for developing convenience . He feels that if you want to be a part of Escalera then you need to adopt the Escalera standards and have minimum 2-acre Lots. Dan Lonergan, 237 Escalera Pkwy, stated that he feels that it is improper to sell a concept plan and then use the City to try and change the concept plan for their convenience. He and his wife abided by the regulations when they moved to Escalera and assumed the owners would abide by the regulations as well. Carla Benton stated Fire Department has reviewed and approved the application. Commissioner Lawson stated he has a concern with 30% of the Lots needing a variance. He understands they lost land due of caves or discrepancy in the ground, but feels that even though the concept plan states you can build 64 Lots in section six, does not mean you can poorly plan and lower the Lot size to make sure 64 Lots are able to fit in section six. Commissioner Moore stated that he agrees completely with Commissioner Lawson and that most of the letters received stated the developer and builder have not communicated with the neighbors and asked Ms. Bell to respond. Ms. Bell stated that Ryland Homes felt that no matter what they said or presented to the neighbors would not be well received. Ms. Bell stated no meetings have been scheduled with the neighbors simply because they felt they have abided by the requirements of the development agreement as it stands today. Commission Milburn stated she feels that this is clearly set up for an economic reason and that the developer had an opportunity to create nicer size Lots, but would mean they would have to combine several Lots. The development agreement states they can have 64 Lots. Therefore, even when they lost land, they still try to go around the rules to squeeze 64 lots in section six. Commissioner McMichael stated that just because the developer/builder/owner feels his plans will “not be well received” by the neighbors is no excuse not to meet with them. After further discussion and comments made by the commissioners to deny the variance, the applicant requested postponement. Commissioner Moore encouraged the builders/developer to communicate with the neighbors of Escalera. Commissioner Gibbs and Phillips refrained from voting due to a conflict of interest. 3.Public hearing and possible action on a comprehensive plan amendment to change (1) the future land use from residential to residential and office/retail/commercial, (2) The intensity level from level 1 to levels 3 and 5, and (3) the overall transportation plan to relocate the connection point on SH-29 for the future SW 2, for 1,793 acres more or less out of the Samuel Campbell Survey, Abstract No. 157, the J.D. Johns Survey, Abstract No. 365, the John T. Church Survey, Abstract No. 140, the Key West Irrigation Co. Survey, Abstract No. 711, I. & G. N. R.R. CO. Survey, Abstract No. 744, the W.E.

Porter Survey, Abstract No. 490, the Isaac Donagan Survey, Abstract No. 178, and the Joseph Thompson Survey, Abstract No. 608, consisting of the eastern part of Escalera Ranch (796 acres) and the Barton (403 acres), Faubion (266 acres), and Watson (327 acres) tracts, located north of FM-2243 and south of SH-29. (CPA–2006-012) Staff report was given by Jordan Maddox in place of Ed Polasek. Through the planning process for the San Gabriel Development, the applicant worked through a process similar to a conservation design planning exercise. They identified sensitive environmental features (caves, floodplains and sensitive habitats), then work was completed to identify secondary open space to buffer and separate sensitive habitats from developable lands. The third step in the process identified a potential trails network connecting the already designated open space. This process allowed the City and ABG Development to identify approximately 680 acres of Parks/Open Space that will be identified in the platting process. The applicant is proposing the future land use to remain residential for approximately 1520 acres of the site, while 113 acres at the intersections of SW3 with State Highway 29 and RR 2243 will form small mixed use nodes, with an additional 25 acres designated as office/retail/commercial. Approximately 20 acres will be designated as residential, but will be used for two specific public uses: 13 acres for a school(s) site, and 6 acres for two future fire stations. The applicant proposes that the office/retail/commercial be designated as intensity level 5, the mixed-use area be designated as intensity level 4, while the remaining portion of the property be designated as intensity level 3. Staff has recommended conditional approval of the Century Plan: Future Land Use Plan, Intensity Level and Thoroughfare Plan amendment. Conditional approval depends on the transportation intensity area report are sufficient for the overall transportation plan. Conditional improvement also depends on the development agreement, which has been address with the applicant and is currently being worked through . At this time the applicant’s LCD presentation for agenda item # 3 was not working, so commissioners moved to agenda item # 7. 7.Public Hearing and possible action on a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use from residential to commercial and multi-family, and the intensity level from level 1 to level 4 for 27.737 and 88.093 acre tracts in the Woodruff Stubblefield Survey, A-556, also known as Brinklum Farms, located on the N.W. Corner of CR 102 and CR 104. CPA-2006-011 Staff report given by Jordan Maddox in place of Ed Polasek. The subject property was divided during SH 130 right-of-way acquisition. The southern tract will have frontage on County Road 102, CR 104 (future SW Bypass) and the Southbound Frontage Road on SH 130. This portion of the SW Bypass is under design and right of acquisition by the City of Georgetown. The northern portion of the tract has frontage on CR 104 (future SW Bypass) and the Northbound Frontage Road on SH 130. This portion of CR 104 is under consideration for the Williamson County Road Bond program, an election will be held on November 7, 2006. The applicant is requesting a change from intensity level 1 to intensity level 4 for the entire site. Staff is supportive of the request on the basis that the Georgetown Utilities Systems Division reports that the site can be adequately served with wastewater for the proposed development and the proposed land use is consistent with the area. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Paul Lineham of Land Strategies stated he agrees with this property being annexation so the City of Georgetown has more control. Mr. Lineham stated staff has requested to increase landscape, which he will be glad to do. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by McMichael to recommend to the City Council conditional approval of a comprehensive plan amendment to change to future land use from residential to office/retail/commercial and multi-family, and to change the intensity level from level 1 to level 4 for 27.737 and 88.093 acre tracts in the Woodruff Stubblefield Survey, A-556, also known as Brinklum Farms, located on the N.E.

The condition being the property is subject to section 8.06.050 of the UDC, which requires specific landscaping requirements for properties within the “Downtown Gateway” overlay district. Second by Milburn. Approved 7-0. At this time , the commissioners continued with agenda item #3. Steve Metcalf with ABG Development gave an LCD presentation. Mr. Metcalf stated the property is about 1,700 acres between Hwy 29 and FM 2243. He stated that they have put together and conservation subdivision with 40% open space and no more than two lots per acre and clustering the development areas. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Byron Wilson, 209 Montell Drive stated that he does not want ABG Development to have a connection into Escalera Ranch. He feels there will be too much traffic through Escalera. Evelyn Young, 200 Escalera Drive thanked ABG Development for meeting with the neighbors of Escalera Ranch and found the meeting to be very informative. She also stated that she is concerned the 1700-acre development gaining access into Escalera Ranch. She stated the multiple repairs in the roads in Escalera would not be able to stand the high traffic impact. Ms. Young also stated Escalera neighbors have had to deal with reduced water pressure and feels this needs to be addressed before adding more residence in that area. Leo Wade, 208 Montell Dr, thanked the commissioners for listening to their concerns. He also thanked ABG for meeting with the Escalera neighbors and supports the comprehensive plan amendment. He also stated he is also concerned with the water pressure. Deborah Hunt, 213 Montell Dr, thanked ABG Development for meeting with the Escalera neighbors. She stated that she was informed there would be 5,000 residential homes built in the subdivision. She is concerned and asked Mr. Metcalf if that number is correct. Mr. Metcalf stated there would be up to 3,400 residential homes in that area. Sandra Lemanski, 216 Escalera Pkwy stated she is impressed with the presentation by ABG Development. However, she is concerned with the connectivity by the new developer and feels Escalera roads is not capable to handle such a large traffic impact.Mr. Metcalf stated the water improvement agreement would be in place before developing starts .

The subject property is located approximately 0.5 miles south of Inner Loop, between FM 1460 and Maple Street, directly east of CR 166 and west of the Pinnacle subdivision. There are two landowners involved in the project, one whose land has been in the city limits and the other tract , owned by Mr. Moore, that completed the voluntary annexation process at the September 26, 2006 City Council meeting. The current land use for the project is residential and that will not change as the applicant seeks to build approximately 509 single-family units. A concurrent zoning change is being requested as well , from agriculture to residential single family. Future considerations for the area include the city’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and the future Austin -San Antonio (ASA) commuter rail line , which will run adjacent to Maple St. in a currently abandoned rail right-of-way and reach its northern stopping point at the TOD, located at Maple and Inner Loop.

Hudson Survey, A-295, to be known as La Conterra subdivision , located west of the extension of Maple Street and south of Inner Loop. PP-2006-024 This is a preliminary plat for 125.04 acres proposed to be developed as 509 single-family residential lots, 1 parkland lot, 3 detention lots, one HOA lot, 1 median lot, and 2 landscape lots. Total of 509 residential lots are proposed to be completed within four phases. Each phase will contain approximately 127 lots. The first phase will start at FM 1460 and work towards the extension of Maple Street. The Parks and Recreation Department and Parks Board has approved the size and location of the proposed 10.50 acre tract, Block H, Lot 52 to be dedicated to the City as parkland. This would meet the parkland dedication requirements of 10.18 acres. A TIA (Traffic Impact Analysis) was required as part of the submittal of the subdivision application all recommended improvements will be required as part of the final plat approval. Right of way (ROW) will be dedicated with this plat for the widening of FM 1460 and the for the future light rail line adjacent to Maple Street. The ROW dedicated along Maple will allow for the rail extension to the proposed transit oriented Development (TOD) at the intersection of Maple and Inner Loop. The approval of this plat is contingent upon the approval of subsequent applications of the Annexation (Second Reading completed on September 26, 2006), Intensity Level and Zoning Change. The developer may be required to upgrade the existing Smith Branch wastewater lift station, to serve the proposed development. Currently a 20’ access easement bisects the property from Maple to FM 1460. The applicant is working on getting these easements relocated but as currently configured Lot 3, Block G, and Lot 27, Block H are unbuildable. If these access easements are not able to be relocated this plat will need to be revised. Below are comments for agenda item #4, #5 and #6. The applicant’s representative Charles Celaruro with PBS&J stated he will be glad to answer any questions. Commissioner McMichael feels the developer is placing a lot of homes in a little area. She asked if a price range have been set. Mr. Celaruro stated there has not been a price set for these homes. However, the average Lot width is 52 feet and the average depth is 120 feet, which totals to a 6,600 square foot lot. Commissioner Lawson stated he is concerned with the long blocks the applicant is proposing and feels when you have people parking on their driveway and on the streets does not give a very appealing neighborhood. Commissioner Phillips stated neighborhoods like this are a prime target for low-end builders. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed.

Currently there is an occupied apartment complex, Valley View Apartments, at 1221 Haven Lane, which was built before 1980. The remaining 9 Lots have an approved Detailed Development Plan (DDP) to be developed as condominiums. To date, one condominium complex is partially completed at 1211 Haven Lane. The remaining 8 Lots are vacant.

Approved 7-0. Regular Agenda 3.Public Hearing and possible action on an Amendment to Chapter 13 (“Infrastructure and Public Improvements”) of the Unified Development Code (UDC) pertaining to the creation of special districts and utility infrastructure in rural residential subdivisions. Staff report was given by Tom Yantis, Georgetown Assistant City Manager. At the direction of the City Council, staff drafted a new section 13.10 of the UDC to govern the city’s review and possible creation of Special Districts. The new section establishes prerequisites to create a special district, application materials to assist the staff in analyzing consent applications, and conditions that must be in each agreement. In addition to the new regulation governing the creation of MUD’s, the staff has identified other necessary changes in Chapter 13 to clarify the appropriate types of wastewater infrastructure in rural residential subdivisions. Article III, Section 52 and Article XVI, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution authorizes the creation of special districts. One such type of district is a Municipal Utility District (MUD). The City has received petitions for the creation of MUD’s and expects to continue to receive them in the future. Therefore, the City Council directed staff to develop a policy governing the review and possible creation of MUDs within the City’s planning jurisdiction. A MUD is a separate political subdivision from the City with the authority to impose ad valorem taxes within its jurisdiction. The primary purpose for the creation of MUDs is to finance the public infrastructure necessary for the development within the MUD (i.e. water, wastewater, etc.). Once a MUD is created, the area within the MUD cannot be annexed by a City without the City accepting the outside debt of the MUD. The City Council has expressed its desire to limit the creation of MUDs to areas that the City does not plan to annex in the future and areas where the City does not plan to provide water or wastewater services in the future. Goal 1 of the Future land Use Plan calls for the City to “Encourage the most desirable and efficient use of land while enhancing the physical environment through functional and compatible land use configurations.” These regulations are intended to allow the City to continue to establish appropriate land use regulations and environmental protections in areas that the City intends to ultimately annex or to which City utility services will be provided. Goal 2 of the Future Land Use Plan requires the City to “Provide for orderly and coordinated growth on the City of Georgetown’s boundaries.” These regulations help ensure that areas of importance for the City and areas intended for future annexation are not encumbered by their incorporation into other political subdivisions. Before the City Council consents to the creation of a district, the following shall be considered: If applicable, whether the area proposed for inclusion in the district meets criteria for annexation set out in the City’s annexation policy and is within the City’s projected ultimate city limit boundary; and Whether the City will provide water and/or wastewater services to the land within the proposed district at a reasonable cost and will commence construction of facilities necessary to serve the land within 2 years and substantially complete such construction within 4 1/2 years after submittal of the petition pursuant to the City’s policies on the extension of utility services. Chair Anderson stated he feels the prerequisites to the consent statement in Chapter 13.10.030 Section A needs to state “Before the City Council consents to the creation of a district, the following shall “meet” and cross out shall “be considered”, so the language is a little clearer. Trish stated the sentence in question is clarified in Section B, & C. However, she states the statement can be changed if needed. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion made by Shield to recommend to the City Council approval of the amendment to Chapter 13 (“Infrastructure and Public Improvements”) with the changes to section 13.10.030 (Before the City Council consents to creation of a district , the following shall “meet”) as discussed, of the Unified Development Code (UDC) pertaining to the creation of special districts and utility infrastructure in rural residential subdivisions. Second by Moore Approved 7-0. 4.Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Intensity Level from Levels 2, 3 and 5 to Level 4 for 52 acres; and to change the Future Land Use from Residential to Office/Retail/Commercial for a section of the 52 acres in the John Berry Survey, located at 1800 FM 971. CPA-2006-016 Staff report given by Jordan Maddox. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of FM 971 and SH 130 with the Inner Loop slicing through to create two separate parcels: 44.01 acres to the east of Inner Loop and 6.44 acres to the west. The applicant is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Intensity Level from Levels 2 and 3 to Level 4 on the 6.44 acres adjacent to the school property; and from Levels 2, 3, and 5 to Level 4 on the remaining 44.01 acres to build approximately 260 multi-family units, 92 townhouse units, and approximately 6 acres of office/commercial/retail. In addition to the Intensity Level request there is a Future Land Use amendment request to Office/Retail/Commercial for the 6.44 acres to support the above uses. The project is within the city of Georgetown wastewater service area and currently has the capacity to serve the proposed intensity level of 4. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Don Tardy stated he would be glad to answer any questions. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Mr. Tardy stated there will be about 350 units which could house about 1,000 residents including children.

Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from AG, Agricultural district to C-3, General Commercial, TH, Townhouse district, and MF, Multifamily district for approximately 52 acres in the John Berry Survey, located at 1800 FM 971. REZ-2006-029 Staff report was given by Jennifer Bills. This property is located along FM 971 and adjacent to the future State Highway 130. North East Inner Loop bisects the property into two parcels.

This development will be situated between three major roadways, FM 971, NE Inner Loop, and SH 130. With this level of road access, a mix of general commercial uses along the road frontage, with adjacent higher density residential development would be appropriate.

Second by McMichael. Approved 7-0. Consideration and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for 87.36 acres, being part of the C . Joyner Survey , C.B. Mayhall Survey, and the John Sutherland Survey, being a resubdivision of Calder Subdivision, Lot 1, and a resubdivision of Estates of Westlake, Lot 53, to be known as the Estates of Westlake, Phase 6A & 6B, located on CR 262 at Highland Springs, with waivers to the Unified Development Code. PP-2006-021 Staff report was given by Carla Benton. This tract is a combination of Lot 53 of the Estates of Westlake, Lot 1 (38.60 acres) of Calder Subdivision, a portion of Lots 15 and 16 of the Preliminary Plat of Tuscany Villas, Phase Two and unplatted acreage for a total of 87.36 acres to be developed as 68 residential lots of greater than 1 acre each. The applicant is proposing to pay parkland fees in lieu of dedication of land. A waiver is requested for Section 12.03.020.B.1. of the UDC to allow a 90 degree bend in San Marino Street without providing a minimum 180 foot centerline radius curve. The City of Georgetown requires that the proposed 90 degree bend in San Marino Street be revised to provide a minimum 180 foot centerline radius curve. Section 12.03.020.B.1. of the UDC states that the maximum deflection in street alignment permitted without use of a curve be 10 degrees The applicant has proposed to add building setbacks as a part of this plat. However, Section 6.01.030 of the UDC clearly indicates that the lot dimensional standards of Chapter 6, which includes building setbacks, does not apply to properties in the ETJ. Therefore, the placement of building setbacks on the plat would conflict with the City’s ordinances and imply an improper application of authority in the ETJ. Additionally it would put the City in a situation of requiring enforcement of standards over which we have no jurisdiction. Therefore it is requested that as part of the Commission’s motion that the building setbacks and referencing Plat Note 21 be removed prior to approval of the Final Plat . Staff recommends approval of a Preliminary Plat and Denial of the proposed waiver. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Tom Watts of Ralph Harris Surveying, applicant’s agent, stated they feel that a cul-de-sac is not required at the intersection of San Marino Trail and Buona Sera Trail and feels the right angle turn is wide enough for traffic. Commissioner Milburn asked Mr. Watts if the cul-de-sac can be added to the plan. Mr. Watts stated a cul-de-sac can be added, but strongly feels it is not needed . Commissioner Milburn asked staff if the UDC “Unified Development Code” is very clear regarding this waiver request. Mr. Munk stated the UDC is very clear regarding this waiver request, which is why staff is recommending denial. Commissioner Moore voiced concern regarding the payment of fees in lieu of dedication of parkland. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of a Preliminary Plat for 87.36 acres, being part of the C . Joyner Survey , C.B.

(REZ-2006-028) Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The subject 2.572 acre site is located at the northeast corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The property is zoned RS, Residential Single-family, which represent the default zoning in effect at the time of initial annexation in 1986.

That application also proposes a C-3, General Commercial zoning designation for the entire 80-acre parcel. The applicant is seeking a rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family District and AG, Agriculture District to C-3, General Commercial to allow for the development of a commercial shopping center. Specifically the applicant is requesting the prohibition of the following uses: Detention Center; Passenger Terminals; Bar or Lounge; Major Vehicle Service; Vehicle Sales, Rental or Leasing Facility; Warehouse and Freight Movement; Major Utilities and Cemeteries and Self-Storage Facility. Staff is supportive of the rezoning from RS, Residential Single-Family district to C-3, General Commercial district with conditions. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing.

(REZ-2006-023) Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The 1.59-acre site is located on Williams Drive near the intersection of Shell Road. The property was annexed into the City in 2005 by Ordinance No. 2005-93. The current zoning of AG, Agriculture was the default zoning provided at the time of annexation. The Future Land Use Plan designates the property as “commercial” with an intensity level “5”. The proposal is a rezoning request from AG, agriculture to C-1, Local Commercial. Per the applicant, the purpose of the request is for the “current use and also for future use” of the site. Staff is not aware of any future redevelopment plans for the site. Staff is supportive of the C-1 request on the basis that it will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing use and it is consistent with the existing commercial zoning around the intersection of Shell road and Williams Drive. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Wally Wilson, 1611 Williams Dr. and is representing the applicant. Mr. Wilson stated Mr. Johnson has been running the business for 12 plus years and is considering selling and thought a C-1 rezoning is a logical extension of the commercially designated properties along the Williams Drive frontage.

Roberts Survey, Abstract 524, and Joseph Fish Survey , Abstract 232, to be known as Planned Unit Development of Georgetown Village, Section Nine, located south of Shell Road east of Sections 7 and 8. (REZ-2006-027) Staff report given by Bobby Ray. The subject site is comprised of 145.5779 acres located south of Shell Road east of Sections 7 & 8. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The plat, initially submitted by the applicant, consists of 367 detached single-family residences, one school lot, one “amenity” lot, two lots set aside for miscellaneous utilities, and parkland. The Public Review Final Plat was submitted to be processed concurrent with the zoning and the annexation requests. However, the plat initially submitted with the application did not comply with the specific development standards, most notably the prohibition against double frontage lots. The item has been pulled from the current Commission agenda at the request of the project applicant. Therefore, staff did not attach the plat to the PUD development plan. Once the plat has been approved, it will be attached to the PUD documents. Staff will hold a second reading of the zoning action to track the status of the Public Review Final Plat. Staff is supportive of the current proposal on the basis that the single-family residential use is consistent with the usage identified on the concept plan. However, staff is concerned that the development represents a departure from the original intent of the concept plan, which is the creation of a “traditional” neighborhood. This plat submittal represents a detached single-family neighborhood, typical of the type of residential development seen throughout the region. The original Georgetown Village Concept Plan, approved in 1999, presented a vision of a “traditional” neighborhood with mixed-use development. This concept was, and remains, an innovative development that was justified as a Planned Unit Development. However, staff feels that any further deviation from the strict implementation of the “mixed use” and “employment” areas, as indicated and defined by the Concept Plan, warrants a reconsideration of, and appropriate amendment to the Concept Plan. If the vision presented in the approved concept plan is no longer feasible, or marketable, amendments needs to be made to present a more realistic picture of future development within the Village. Commissioner Milburn indicated she is concerned with the issue of Georgetown Village no longer following the agreed development agreement and feels the public review final plat needs to be reviewed carefully and should agree with the Development Plan. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. Mark Graham with Wilson Family Communities, stated there are mix building products and feels they are not deviating from the original plan. Mr. Graham stated they still have an area designated for higher density and commercial. They have parks and are currently planning another school site. Chair Anderson asked Mr. Graham to explain the intent of the developer to add the retail shops in the current designated area. Mr. Graham stated there are restrictions on what you can do. Ten years ago, there was not an HEB down the street. Mr. Graham stated there needs to be more residential areas and homes, not just on their site, but in the area to support retail buildings in Georgetown Village. Mr. Graham stated that the demand is for residential at this time, so they are focusing on that area which is zoned for residential. However, they are not eliminating commercial, retail or multi-family. Commissioner McMichael informed Mr. Graham the feel of the neighborhood in Georgetown Village is different and this Commission wants Mr. Graham to proceed with that feel in further development. There are concerns when the developer starts changing the concept plan. Staff stated the plat is scheduled to be presented during the October P&Z meeting. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. Lawson stated he would like to hear from Ms. Milburn her reason for not voting for this rezoning because he is concerned with developers changing the concept plans and blaming it on market conditions. Commissioner Milburn stated she feels they should move forward and approve the rezoning. However, she encouraged Mr. Graham to make sure that when the plat is brought forward in October that Commissioners see some of the elements that were originally sold to the City of Georgetown, which have not been seen, in the last couple of projects that have been brought forward.

Regular Agenda 3 Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use from Residential and Commercial to Commercial and the Intensity Level from Levels 3 and 5 to Level 5 for 80.3 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract 21, located on the Northwest corner of Highway 29 and Georgetown Inner Loop. CPA-2006-010 Staff report was given by Ed Polasek. The subject 80.3 acres is located at the northwest corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The future Land Use Plan identifies approximately 3 acres on the corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop as “Office/Retail/Commercial” the remainder of the property is designated as “Residential”. The property is zoned Residential and Agricultural; the reason for the split zoning has to do with time of annexation versus any previous rezoning/land use on the property. Approximately 7 acres is designated Intensity Level 5 and the northern portion of the tract is designated Intensity Level 3. Again, this was the designation at the time of creation of the Intensity Map, versus any previous application for development. Staff has recommended approval, with two modifications to the plan, for the Century Plan: Future Land Use Plan and Intensity Level amendment. Utilize a minimum of 10 acres of property buffering Southwestern University Property to the North and West of the subject tract as Parks/Open Space. The applicant has agreed that contours and slopes on portions of the property near Smith Branch are not suitable for Office/Retail/Commercial development, and park, recreation and pedestrian access built jointly with the City and Southwestern University would be beneficial to all three entities . When the property moves toward platting and site planning, the actual location of the Parks/Open Space will be determined. Approximately 2 acres with access to the NE Inner Loop will be designated as Public/Semi-Public for future use as a fire station for the City. Current ISO mapping utilized by the Fire Services Division point to the need for a future Fire Station along the NE Inner Loop with quick access to State Highway 29. The actual location of the Fire Station site would be determined when the property moves toward platting and site planning. The applicant has verbally agreed to these two modifications/conditions to the Century Plan Amendment. Chair Anderson asked for Bobby Ray, Planning and Development Director to report on agenda item # 4, so the commissioners could vote on both items since they are similar . 4 Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agricultural district and RS, Residential Single-Family district to C-3, General Commercial district for 80.3 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract 21, located on the NW corner of Highway 29 and Georgetown Inner Loop. REZ-2006-022 Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The subject 80 acres is located at the northwest corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The property carries two separate zoning districts, which represents the default zoning in effect at the time of initial annexation. Approximately 2 acres on frontage along S.H. 29 was annexed in 1986 and is zoned as RS, Residential Single-Family. The balance of the property, approximately 78 acres, was annexed in 1998 and is zoned AG, Agriculture. The future Land Use Plan identifies the corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop as “Commercial”, the remainder of the property is designated as “Residential”. The applicant is seeking the C-3, General Commercial district. Consistent with the recommendation for the rezoning application for the northeast corner of Inner Loop and S.H. 29 staff is proposing that certain uses be prohibited from consideration. Specifically staff is recommending that the following uses be prohibited. Detention Center; Passenger Terminals; Bar or Lounge; Major Vehicle Service; Vehicle Sales, Rental or Leasing Facility; Warehouse and Freight Movement; Major Utilities; Cemeteries; and Self-Storage Facilities. Staff is recommending the preparation of a Master Architectural/Building materials Plan prior to submittal of an initial site plan for the project. Chair Anderson asked Bobby Ray why is staff prohibiting use of a Lounge or Bar with Southwestern being so close feels it would be a preferred use. Mr. Ray stated you could have a bar in conjunction with restaurants as long as food sales are more than 50% of the sales. Mr. Ray stated staff would check with the city secretary if the alcohol laws would allow a stand-alone facility. Chair Anderson asked the applicant to speak. Patrick Graham stated he and his wife are most anxious to move forward with this building project and commended the City of Georgetown staff for their hard work and dedication. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed.

Second by Moore Amended motion to include changing the 80.3 acres from an Intensity Level 3 to an Intensity Level 5. Approved 7-0.

Regular Agenda Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use from Residential and Commercial to Commercial and the Intensity Level from Levels 3 and 5 to Level 5 for 80.3 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract 21, located on the Northwest corner of Highway 29 and Georgetown Inner Loop. CPA-2006-010 Staff report was given by Ed Polasek. The subject 80.3 acres is located at the northwest corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The future Land Use Plan identifies approximately 3 acres on the corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop as “Office/Retail/Commercial” the remainder of the property is designated as “Residential”. The property is zoned Residential and Agricultural; the reason for the split zoning has to do with time of annexation versus any previous rezoning/land use on the property. Approximately 7 acres is designated Intensity Level 5 and the northern portion of the tract is designated Intensity Level 3. Again, this was the designation at the time of creation of the Intensity Map, versus any previous application for development. Staff has recommended approval, with two modifications to the plan, for the Century Plan: Future Land Use Plan and Intensity Level amendment. Utilize a minimum of 10 acres of property buffering Southwestern University Property to the North and West of the subject tract as Parks/Open Space. The applicant has agreed that contours and slopes on portions of the property near Smith Branch are not suitable for Office/Retail/Commercial development, and park, recreation and pedestrian access built jointly with the City and Southwestern University would be beneficial to all three entities . When the property moves toward platting and site planning, the actual location of the Parks/Open Space will be determined. Approximately 2 acres with access to the NE Inner Loop will be designated as Public/Semi-Public for future use as a fire station for the City. Current ISO mapping utilized by the Fire Services Division point to the need for a future Fire Station along the NE Inner Loop with quick access to State Highway 29. The actual location of the Fire Station site would be determined when the property moves toward platting and site planning. The applicant has verbally agreed to these two modifications/conditions to the Century Plan Amendment. Chair Anderson asked for Bobby Ray, Planning and Development Director to report on agenda item # 4, so the commissioners could vote on both items since they are similar. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agricultural district and RS, Residential Single -Family district to C-3, General Commercial district for 80.3 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract 21, located on the NW corner of Highway 29 and Georgetown Inner Loop. REZ-2006-022 Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The subject 80 acres is located at the northwest corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The property carries two separate zoning districts, which represents the default zoning in effect at the time of initial annexation. Approximately 2 acres on frontage along S.H. 29 was annexed in 1986 and is zoned as RS, Residential Single-Family. The balance of the property, approximately 78 acres, was annexed in 1998 and is zoned AG, Agriculture. The future Land Use Plan identifies the corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop as “Commercial”, the remainder of the property is designated as “Residential”. The applicant is seeking the C-3, General Commercial district. Consistent with the recommendation for the rezoning application for the northeast corner of Inner Loop and S.H. 29 staff is proposing that certain uses be prohibited from consideration. Specifically staff is recommending that the following uses be prohibited. Detention Center; Passenger Terminals; Bar or Lounge; Major Vehicle Service; Vehicle Sales, Rental or Leasing Facility; Warehouse and Freight Movement; Major Utilities; Cemeteries; and Self-Storage Facilities. Staff is recommending the preparation of a Master Architectural/Building materials Plan prior to submittal of an initial site plan for the project. Chair Anderson asked Bobby Ray why is staff prohibiting use of a Lounge or Bar with Southwestern being so close feels it would be a preferred use.

Mr. Ray stated staff would check with the city secretary if the alcohol laws would allow a stand-alone facility. Chair Anderson asked the applicant to speak.

Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The subject 89.6 acre site is the location of the Georgetown High School, which encompasses the 9th Grade campus and 10th-12th grades, as well as accessory uses (athletic fields and courts, parking, bus parking, etc.) The current zoning of the site, which includes RS, Residential Single-family and AG, Agriculture, follows the annexation of the property. As part of the bond package passed on November 8, 2005 the GISD is making some improvement to the High School campus, and adding a new multi-purpose athletic stadium behind the 9th Grade campus. The scope of work includes repairing masonry, adding a handicap ramp, and replacing all exterior doors, frames and hardware. There will be improvements made to the gym, and new canopies added for entrances and pick up areas. The proposed stadium will be designed for a seating capacity of 12,000. Section 16.04.030 of the UDC recognizes, “Recreational and sports facilities” as and accessory use to an educational facility. The C-3 General commercial zoning district has been requested since the development standards for this district most closely reflect the current development on site. Staff is supportive of the rezoning and the school is willing to condition the zoning, staff is recommending to the use of educational facilities only and is consistent with the future land use plan. Commissioner McMichael asked Mr. Ray if the property is large enough to accommodate the athletic facility as well as all the busses. Mr. Ray stated that he has not seen a site plan or a site layout, but knows David Munk, City Engineer has been meeting with the School District. Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak. David Biesheuvel , Director of Constructions and Facilities for Georgetown ISD and is representing GISD this evening. Mr. Biesheuvel stated that GISD is in the process of building a new bus facility and a maintenance facility complex on East 29th and CR 104. Chair Anderson asked if there will be enough parking for the stadium. Mr. Biesheuvel stated the additional parking on site will be used along with where the bus barn is presently located. Mr. Biesheuvel stated that GISD is currently working with City staff to make sure there is adequate parking on the property . Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Royce Robinson, 70 Freddie Drive, stated he strongly opposes the rezoning and that a stadium that will hold over 12,000 attendees will have a negative impact on his property. He stated he is concerned with the bright lights, excessive noise from the sporting events and the traffic. He is also concerned with run off water after the construction is complete. He stated there are 13 residents, and 40% of which are retired and on fixed incomes and feels it will lower the value of their property. McMichael asked Mr. Robinson if Georgetown ISD had talked to any of the property owners in the area. Mr. Robinson stated that no one from the district contacted him. Paula Faris, 131 Freddie Drive stated her property backs up to the baseball field. Ms. Faris stated her husband built the house and felt the school district would be a good neighbor. However, the school district has not been a good neighbor. She has voiced her concern with the school district regarding the water run off, which has washed the soil out of her land and she now has rocks on her land and gullies under her fence and the trees across the fence are about to fall on the carport. She stated the school district sent Perry Steger with Steger and Bizzell over and showed her the topographical maps demonstrating where the water runs and she agrees that it has always come through her property, but not at that rate and she hates to see what it will be like when the school district builds a 12,000 attendee football stadium. She stated the school district built a retaining pond for the ninth grade center, but did not do anything when they upgraded the baseball field . Ms. Faris stated that she went to the city and saw where they said they have a proposed road that would go around in the back of her property to magically catch the water so that it will no longer run off as fast across her property, but that road never happened and it’s not in the picture anymore. Richard Bunte, 250 Freddie Dr, stated he has been contacted by the school regarding the stadium. Chair Anderson asked Mr. Bunte if the school district has approached him to purchase his property. Mr. Bunte said yes, the school district has shown interest in purchasing his property. Lavera Fleuriet, 200 Freddie stated she is concerned with the school district placing the stadium behind her property. She is retired, on a fixed income and feels her property value will decrease. Chair Anderson closed the Public Hearing. Chair Anderson asked David Biesheuvel to address the concerns. Mr. Biesheuvel stated that he hopes none of the concerns residents have will happen, however with the stadium come the lights , although they will comply with certain regulations to control the spillover of the lights. Mr. Biesheuvel cannot answer if the school district contacted other residents in the area; however, this project was part of the bond election held in November. It was a publicly announced, town meetings were held, and the subject was out there for everyone to see. Mr. Biesheuvel stated additional paving will be minimal leading to only a small amount of additional run off. There will also be a detention pond built and the football field will have its own drainage system underground. The fencing will be a chain link fence 8-10 feet high and the school district has no desire to have parking or traffic routed through the residential area, as all parking will be on school property and traffic will be routed onto the main streets. Vice Chair Gibb asked Mr. Biesheuvel why the school district wants to purchase Mr. Bunte’s lot. Mr. Biesheuvel stated the stadium would be pushed further to the east to preserve their current track, so they would have a separate competition track facility. Vice Chair Gibb asked Mr. Biesheuvel if that means the stadium would be placed closer to the residence property. Mr. Biesheuvel stated “yes, the stadium would be a little closer to the residents.” Commissioner McMichael stated the possibility of purchasing buffer property to avoid some of the concerns. Mr. Ray stated when a site plan comes in for this property it will trigger a traffic impact analysis which will be done administratively, through the site plan review. Questions were raised regarding the number of night time events to be held in this stadium. The total number was not clear. Secretary Moore thanked the residents for coming and voicing their concern. Commissioner McMichael encouraged the school district to visit with these residents and to be as diligent as developers are when they notify residents /neighbors about things that will be affecting their property . Chair Anderson stated that he feels there is a lot of unknown and that a special use permit might be able to clarify the issue. He does not feel there is anyway to mediate the light and noise pollution. Commissioner McMichael stated in defense of the residents that there was so much support for this bond issue, the 13 adjacent residents would not have had much impact against the bond. Milburn stated she feels going with a Special Use Permit is a better way of going so there is more review of the issue. Motion by Milburn to recommend to City Council a motion for DENIAL of the rezoning of approximately 89.6 acres in the Antonio Flores Survey, abstract No. 235, from RS, Residential Single-family district and AG, Agriculture district to C-3, General Commercial District, conditional to allow for education facilities and identified accessory uses only, for Georgetown high School located at 2211 North Austin Ave. Second Gibbs Approved 5-1.

Handouts were given to members of the Commission. Highlights include: Public workshops and community survey indicate a desire for human scale, pedestrian activity, pleasant landscaping, and coherent design. There is a need for greater connectivity, including a new bridge across I-35; a better mix of uses, including making the district include higher density residential and destination uses, including entertainment and office. The context and environment of the area must include a transition/buffer to adjacent residential, tree-lined streets, access to Sunset Ridge walk along the river bluff, and a landscaped median along Williams Dr. The proposal is to reconfigure McCoy Campus, with possible use as a civic square, new school facilities, and a health/fitness facility. Sunset Ridge would include high dollar residential and a destination type restaurant. Total proposed development program would include 250,000 square feet retail, 60,000 square feet restaurant/meeting, 80,000 square feet health/fitness, 75,000 square feet office, 40,000 square feet GISD, 800 units of residential for sale or rent, and 200 beds full-service hotel. Paul gave statistics of growth in the area and listed the existing issues with the site including, the outlined program will not fit on the site at the current suburban density, structured parking is required to achieve market driven density, market rates do not support structured parking, the land value is higher than a greenfield suburban site should be, ownership of the land is highly fragmented and the transportation network is disconnected and difficult to understand at this time. Chair Anderson thanked Mr. Brandenburg for the information.

IH35. The applicant withdrew this item. 5.Consideration and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for 98.338 acres out of the Barney C. Low Survey to be known as Teravista, Sections 310, 311, 312, & 313, located southwest of the intersection of FM 1460 and Westinghouse Road. Carla Benton gave the staff report and stated the traffic impact analysis had been conducted and approved by City Council. She reported that the Transportation Oriented Development Area (TOD) is located farther away and will not affect this development. The applicant Brian _______with Newland Properties reported the developer is marketing the green areas of the entire area. Ortego questioned the amount of parkland for the future residents. The applicant responded that public parkland requirements are being met in accordance with the approved Consent Agreement, by a combination of land dedication within the northern portion (north of Westinghouse road) of the future development and payment of fees per lot at Final Plat approval. Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of a Preliminary Plat of 98.338 acres in the Barney C. Low Survey to be known as Teravista Subdivision, Sections 310, 311, 312 and 313. Second by Padfield. Approved 6-1 (Moore opposed.) 6.Consideration and possible action on a Preliminary Plat of Horizon Commercial Park, a Resubdivision of Block A, Lot 1, located at FM1460 and High Tech Drive. Carla Benton gave the staff report. She noted that this resubdivision is being required to address the extension of utilities. It is the City of Georgetown’s requirement that all platted lots must extend existing utilities to the full extent of the development, as feasible. The existing wastewater service is located on High Tech Drive, therefore , to provide direct service to Lot 2A and extend the wastewater line from High Tech Drive to the south property line of Lot 2A, the wastewater line must be extended south on FM 1460. The Applicant’s agent, Harry Voigt, of MRV Engineers & constructors, Inc. was available for questions. There were no public speakers on this item. Motion by Ortego to recommend to City Council approval of a Preliminary Plat of Horizon Commercial Park, a resubdivision of Block A, Lot 1. Second by Moore. Approved 7-0. 7.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning of approximately 16.9 acres out of 73.48 acres in the Flores Survey from RS, Residential Single-Family to IN, Industrial for the site located on Walden Drive southeast of North College Street. Bobby Ray presented the staff report. This property is occupied by the Texas Disposal System’s collection station. The site is currently zoned RS, Residential single-family, which was the default zoning at the time of annexation in 1975. It was then used as the City’s landfill. In the late 1980’s the City’s solid waste service was contracted out. TDS utilizes the operators landfill in southeast Travis County near Creedmoor and this site is no longer used as a landfill. Ray stated the proposed rezoning would be consistent with the current use of a transfer station. Staff is supportive of the requested zoning on the basis that it is consistent with the underlying “public/ semi-public” land use designation, and the area is compatible with types of uses allowed within the IN district. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. There were no public speakers for this item. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Moore to recommend to City Council approval of the Rezoning of approximately 16.9 acres out of 73.48 acres in the Flores Survey from RS, Residential Single-family to IN, Industrial for the site located on Walden Drive, southeast of North College Street. Second by Shield. Approved 7-0. 8.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning of 4.58 acres in the Antonio Flores Survey, Abstract No. 235 from RS, Residential Single-Family to C-3, General Commercial for the site located between North Austin Avenue and I.H.-35 north of CR 151. Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family to C-3, General Commercial for the purpose of developing a Vehicle Sales Facility for motorcycles. Staff is supportive of the request zoning on the basis that it is consistent with the underlying “commercial” land use designation, and the area is compatible with the type of uses allowed within the C-3 district. Ray stated that an issue has developed since the application was submitted. The owner, Steve Littlefield, realized that the vehicle sales use is limited to 20 vehicles and he wants to stock 300 – 400 vehicles at a time. This limitation was developed as part of an amendment to the Unified Development Code that was overlooked at time of application.. Ray has suggested that the most expedient way to address this issue is to apply for a variance with the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the variance would be recommended by staff. Ray stated the application can be made before the final action of rezoning by City Council. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. There were no public speakers for this item. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of the rezoning of 4.58 acres in the Antonio Flores Survey, Abstract No. 235 from RS, Residential Single-family to C-3, General Commercial for the site located between North Austin Avenue and IH-35 north of CR 151. Second by Phillips. Approved 7-0. 9.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning of Lot 1A, Block 7 of the Gabriel Heights Resubdivision from OF, Office to C-1, Local Commercial for the site at 1501 Park Lane. Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. He stated that the C-1 district will allow for the establishment of a greater variety of retail businesses, and will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing restaurant use. Staff is supportive of the requested zoning on the basis that it is consistent with the underlying “commercial” land use designation, and the area is compatible with type of uses allowed within the C-1 district. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. There were no public speakers for this item. The Public Hearing was closed. Motion by Padfield to recommend to City Council approval of the rezoning of Lot 1A, Block 7 of the Gabriel Heights Resubdivision from OF, Office to C-1, Local Commercial for the site at 1501 Park Lane. Second by Shield. Approved 7-0. 10.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family to Planned Unit Development (PUD), (to be included into the Southwestern University PUD), for Lots 8 and 9, Anderson Addition, located at 1105 and 1107 E. Eighth Street. Staff report was given by Bobby Ray. Southwestern University is proposing a rezoning of two properties to allow for the development of 3 residential student apartment buildings, for a total of 33 apartments. The addition of the 1.5 acres site will amend the Master Development Plan for Southwestern and will expand the boundary of the PUD to accommodate these properties. Staff is supportive of the request in that the “residential” land use designation is consistent with the proposed use of the site, and consistent with the largely residential usage in the immediate vicinity of the site. Mr. Ray also stated that there has been a concern raised by adjacent property owners along 8th Street in regards to street parking since there is not enough parking on site for the students. Mark Miller, the City Transportation Superintendent has stated that at this time there would be no parking allowed on the street based on the limited right-of-way. This will be changed if Southwestern improves the right-of-way. Southwestern University agents have agreed to widen and pave the ROW on 8th street to accommodate more student parking. Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Derrick Wright, speaking for parents David and Helen Wright at 1114 E. 7th St., objects to the student access to the building on 8th St. He asked that parking on the street be prohibited altogether. Robin Bruno, campus architect, stated that this site plan will add 32 units and 1 resident assistant. They are trying to address the parking issues and understand the neighbors concerns. He stated the University would support time limited parking if that would help on 8th Street. He stated he doesn’t have any other options for design on the property due to the large drainage swale in the middle. Public Hearing was closed. Moore stated he understands adjacent residents concerns and that University police do not enforce “no parking” areas. Shield agreed that the parking areas should be patrolled and time limits enforced. Ortego suggested that Southwestern should find alternative locations for dormitories and expansion and find a solution to this problem other than encroaching on the neighborhood. Motion by Anderson to recommend to City Council approval of the Rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family to Planned Unit Development (PUD), to be included into the Southwestern University PUD, for Lots 8 and 9, Anderson Addition, located at 1105 and 1107 E 8th St., with the condition that the on-street parking will be time-limited to move-in and move-out only. Second by Phillips. Chair Anderson withdrew his previous motion. Motion by Chair to recommend to City Council approval of the Rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family to Planned Unit Development (PUD), to be included into the Southwestern University PUD, for Lots 8 and 9, Anderson Addition, located at 1105 and 1107 E 8th St., to be conditional on removal of all the on-street parking.

Applicant requested postponement of this item to the P&Z Meeting of April 4, 2006. 12.Consideration and possible action on a Variance to the Subdivision Regulations for Sun City PUD, Neighborhood 16A, Block 12, Lot 54 located at 400 Dove Hollow Trail. Bobby Ray introduced Jennifer Bills, a new City Planner. Bills presented the staff report for this item. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow construction of a covered patio enclosure to encroach 14 feet into the platted 20 foot rear yard setback. The enclosure is to cover an existing cement patio that was built in 2005. Staff recommends denial of this application based on lack of hardship. The applicant was not present. Richard Strahm of 132 Belfalls spoke before the Commission and stated approval of the variance would significantly reduce the view from his house. Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council denial of the Variance to Table 34020, of the Subdivision Regulations to allow a 14 foot encroachment into the platted and required 20 foot rear yard setback, for the Sun City PUD, Neighborhood 16A, Lot 54, located at 400 Dove Hollow Trail. Second by Padfield. Approved 7-0. 13.Public Hearing, consideration and possible action on the 8th Amended Concept Plan for Sun City Texas, for 4,065.2 acres in the Frederick Foy Survey and other surveys, and on variances to the Subdivision Regulations related to connectivity, and revisions to the Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) zoning standards to allow a Zero Lot Line product, revise the standards of the Cluster Lots, and delete/remove the Garden Lot standards currently allowed in the PUD standards. Melissa McCollum presented the staff report. This amendment is for a total of 4,065.2 acres and differs from the 7th amendment by removing the 1267.7 acres now owned by Waterstone, establishing a maximum number of units as 7500 and revising the PUD standards to allow a zero lot line product and remove the garden lot standards currently allowed. The applicant, Todd Janssen was available for comments or questions and introduced the other Del Webb team members, Gary Nelon, Phillip Schmandt, Peter Verdicchio, Simon Gonzales and Robert Halls. The main concern is the additional three connections that were added as a result of the TIA. They stated they felt the original three main connections to streets outside Sun City were all that were required previously and that connections to other neighborhoods should not be made since the residents were “promised” by the City. Chair Anderson questioned the reasoning for the connectivity. Staff reported connectivity was necessary to maintain emergency service response times to the neighborhoods outside Sun City that would be served by the fire stations built inside Sun City. Fire Chief Anthony Lincoln spoke to this question and reiterated the need for three fire stations in the community and an additional three local connections , in addition to the three collector connections . Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. Roby Sloan, 116 Saddle Trail, stated he had no objection to the zero lot line products. He objected to putting large homes on very small lots and asked to see an economic analysis of why this was appropriate. Jo Atkins, 127 Belfalls, was opposed to the required connectivity and traffic that would undeniably come into her neighborhood from other neighborhoods. Betty Jukes, 187 Dove Hollow Trail, stated she appreciates the fire department but the city promised a golf cart community to the residents. She also stated that she has supported many projects within Georgetown and she wants the same support for this issue. Jack Stroobandt, 102 Wild Plum Circle, gave a history of what he thought was promised to the Sun City residents. Byron Raynie, 106 Everest Ct, asked that the City please work with Del Webb for the only three entrances and was concerned for the safety of Sun City residents if the connection is opened up. Mike Looby, 114 Oak Branch Dr., wants only one way in and one way out of his neighborhood. Chair Anderson closed the Public Hearing. Commissioners deliberated the zero lot line product and current code requirements. Residents were commended for taking an interest and getting involved. Del Webb was commended for communicating with their residents. Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of the Development Plan of an 8th Amended Concept Plan for Sun City Texas, for 4,065.2 acres in the Frederick Foy Survey and other surveys, and revisions to the Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) zoning standards to allow a Zero Lot Line product, revise the standards of the Cluster Lots, and delete/remove the Garden Lot standards currently allowed in the PUD standards, with approval of the variances to Section 33030-B and Table 33030-B and Section 33010-C relating to only three access points to Sun City Development and no extensions of planned streets to adjacent neighborhoods, based on the required findings of fact : 1.The public convenience and welfare will be substantially served because residents safety and 2.The appropriate use of surrounding property will not be substantially or permanently impaired or diminished because the variance will not affect surrounding properties, and 3.The applicant has not created the hardship from which relief is sought because the variance is consistent with previous development agreements, and 4.The variances will not confer upon the applicant a special right or privilege not commonly shared or available to the owners of similar and surrounding property because similar properties do not exist, and 5.The hardship from which relief is sought is not solely of an economic nature because the variance will not greatly affect the value of the property , and 6.The variance is not contrary to the public interest because the applicant has met the necessary requirements to qualify for a variance, and 7.Due to special conditions, the literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in an unnecessary hardship, because it goes against everything the original development was intended to do, the spirit of the original development, and 8.In granting the variances the spirit of the ordinance is observed and substantial justice is done.
