Staff report by Jordan Maddox given by Valerie Kreger. The applicant has requested an
amendment to the Future Land Use Plan to extend the current Employment Center and
Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center boundaries. With this boundary adjustment, the future
land use configuration could appropriately accommodate the companion rezoning request
that would allow the property to develop into an indoor and outdoor sports center with
adjoining retail and office. The applicant is also requesting a change of zoning from AG,
Agriculture District to IN, Industrial, C-3, General Commercial and C-1, Local Commercial
Districts. The intent is to develop the property into an indoor and outdoor sports complex
with adjoining retail and office. An indoor soccer facility, the main catalyst for this
development, is allowed by the Unified Development Code (UDC) only in the C-3 and IN
Districts. Staff recommended to the applicant that the IN District was appropriate because
of the potential for future reuse of the large facility for industrial or similar uses. The
overall vision of the applicant is to create a regional destination based on the sports
complex, which will be comprised of the indoor soccer facility, outdoor athletic fields and
other contemplated future indoor facilities. In addition, the applicant wishes to provide
sites for restaurants, offices, and general retail such as a drugstore and fuel service along
Inner Loop The C-3 and C-1 Districts will accommodate the proposed uses and offer the
flexibility for high-density residential and mixed-use buildings, which the applicant has
expressed an interest in developing. Staff is also recommending extending Sudduth Drive
through the property to CR 151 to give more internal access and driveways, and fewer
driveways onto Inner Loop and CR 151.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. mr. Mike Ogden stated he needed
clarification whether staff wants a road or a driveway . Ms. Kreger stated staff is
recommending a roadway to reduce the speed and traffic on Inner Loop. There was a
discussion regarding the road through the property between applicant, commissioners and
staff. Chair Padfield continued the Public Hearing for both items #6 & #7. No one came
forward to speak. The Public Hearing was closed.

changing the Future Land Use Plan from High Density Residential to Employment Center
and Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center for 28.27 acres in the Flores Survey, to be known as
Gateway Crossing. Second by Lawson. Approved. (4-0)
Motion by Cochran to recommend approval of a request for a rezoning from AG ,
Agriculture District to C-3, General Commercial, C-1, Local Commercial, and IN, Industrial
Districts for 28.27 acres in the Flores Survey, to be known as Gateway Crossing, with the
condition that Sudduth Lane be one entrance from Inner Loop. Second Lawson. Approved.
(4-0)
8. Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Special Use Permit for a bar/private club at City
of Georgetown, Block 40, Lot 2 (n/pt), located at 701 Main Street, Suite 200, to be known as
Landmark Tavern. (RW) SUP-2009-003
Staff report given by Robbie Wyler. The applicant has requested a Special Use Permit to
allow for a bar/private club establishment on the 2
nd
Floor of the Old Masonic Lodge
building. The intent is to convert the currently vacant, former restaurant space of the
building into a lounge that will provide live music and drinks to customers . Per the
Unified Development Code (UDC) Use Table 5.01.030, Bars and Lounges are allowed in the
Mixed Use Downtown District but require approval of a Special Use Permit from City
Council. By UDC definition, a bar or lounge is defined as a use engaged in the preparation
and retail sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, including taverns,
bars, cocktail lounges, and similar uses other than a Restaurant. The leased area consists of
two separate rooms, totaling 3,000 square feet, above Amante’s Restaurant. The main bar
area is on the west side of the building and is surrounded by the second floor balcony
overlooking the Square. It can be accessed by the tavern’s main entrance door off Main
Street. The back room is on the east side of the building separated by the central staircase
landing that can be accessed by both the main tavern area and a 7
th
Street entrance door.
The applicant stated his focus is on the “Baby Boomer” generation and will provide a
relaxed and cozy venue with upscale service featuring live acoustic, jazz, blues and other
eclectic music appealing to a growing market in the area.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Mr. Damon reviewed the TABC issues and
the UDC issues. Chair Padfield continued the public hearing from Tuesday, November
3rd. Ruth Lumpkin, 1309 South College Street stated she owns and operates two businesses
here in Georgetown. Ms. Lumpkin stated that she is concerned with the appropriate use of
our downtown buildings. Tavern and Bar have the same meaning. Ms. Lumpkin stated
that restaurants with a food and beverage certificate can only sell alcohol when their
kitchen is selling food. She explained most restaurants in Georgetown who sell alcohol
close at 10:00 or 11:00PM. She stated the Special Use Permit will allow the Bar to stay open
and to play its music till midnight every night of the week because it does not sell food to
the public. Dan Merek, owner of Georgetown Winery on the square stated he is not
considered to be a bar but they do sell wine by the glass and he is concerned with the
downtown turning out the same as San Marcus downtown. He also stated that once a state
bill passes in May he will be applying for a permit to sell beer . Don Adams. 31007 Jasper
Court, owner of Sweet Serendipity Inc. located at 710 South Austin stated that since the
Loading Dock has been referenced, if you came by their store Saturday and Sunday
morning, you would have to pick up the trash that was left on the sidewalk. The Loading
Dock was not a positive business for downtown. He is not criticizing the individual, just
informing the commissioners the mess it created. Mr. Adams stated he is opposed to any
“bar set up” to be in the downtown Georgetown area. Chair Padfield closed the public
hearing. Motion
by Montgomery to recommend approval of a request for a Special Use Permit to allow for a
bar/private club establishment at City of Georgetown, Block 40, Lot 2 (n/pt), located on the
2
nd
floor of 701 Main Street, occupying Suites 200 and 210. Second by Lawson. Approved.

Since Items #3 & #4 regarded the same property , Jennifer Bills gave both staff reports at this time
4.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District to BP,
Business Park District for 18.81 acres in the Dyches Survey, also known as the Pierce Tract,
located at 1000 FM 1460. (JCB) REZ-2009-013
Staff report given by Jennifer Bills. The applicant has requested an adjustment to the Future
Land Use Plan by extending the Employment Center boundaries from the west. This land
use change is accompanied by a voluntary annexation request and a zoning request of
Business Park, with the idea of developing the tract as an office complex. Due to the Future
Land Use designation of Employment Center to the west and the existing industrial and
office land uses to the west, north and east, an employment center use would be compatible
and an office complex would offer a less intensive commercial buffer for the residential
uses to the south. Staff has determined that the Future Land Use Plan amendments being
proposed are appropriate and will accommodate the proposed zoning districts. The
applicant is also requesting a change of zoning from AG, Agriculture (the default zone for
annexation) to BP, Business Park District. The future intent is to develop the tract as an
office complex.
Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Mr. Bob Sedlor stated he and the owner felt the
proposed application is the best option for this property.
Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing for both items #3 & #4. Tracy Lafave, 207 Valley
Drive, stated she is concerned with property value and stated if the application is approved
that only one story office buildings be permitted. She also asked for landscape buffer to
help with privacy issues. She also requested that Sunrise Valley Lane never be opened to
business traffic and lab research not be allowed into the development . Quint Schneider,
211 Valley Drive stated a portion of his property along with part of the Pierce Tract is in
the flood zone area and he is very concerned with the type of development that will be
allowed. Gene Stabeno, 1020 FM 1460 gave a written document explaining the history of
the property for the Commissioners to review and stated he is very concerned with
flooding issues. Mr. Stabeno also presented pictures to the Commissioners showing
neighboring yards being flooded due to a 12” to 14” wall built by the owner which goes
against Texas Water Code. No one else came forward to speak. Chair Padfield stated the
public hearing will continue Thursday, November 5th.
5.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District to C-1,
Local Commercial District for San Gabriel Estates, Block 1, Lot 6, located at 3600 Williams
Drive. (TG) REZ-2009-014. Staff report given by Valerie Kreger. The applicant has
requested a change of zoning from AG, Agriculture District to C-1, Local Commercial
District. The intent is to make the property more maketable for a future commericial use.
The proposed C-1 District is intended to provide areas for commercial and retail activities
that primarily serve residential areas. Approval of this C-1 zoning will allow the current or
any future owner the option to develop the property for any allowable C-1 use. Chair
Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Applicant was not present. Chair Padfield opened
the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. Chair Padfield stated the public hearing
will continue Thursday, November 5th.
6.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the
Future Land Use Plan from High Density Residential to Employment Center and
Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center for 28.27 acres in the Flores Survey, to be known as
Gateway Crossing, located at NE Inner Loop and County Road 151. (JM) CPA-2009-004
Since Items #6 & #7 regarded the same property, Valerie Kreger gave both staff reports at this time.
7.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District to C-3,
General Commercial, C-1, Local Commercial, OF, Office, and IN, Industrial Districts for
28.27 acres in the Flores Survey, to be known as Gateway Crossing, located at NE Inner
Loop and County Road 151. (JM) REZ-2009-015.
Staff report by Jordan Maddox given by Valerie Kreger. The applicant has requested an
amendment to the Future Land Use Plan to extend the current Employment Center and
Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center boundaries. With this boundary adjustment, the future
land use configuration could appropriately accommodate the companion rezoning request
that would allow the property to develop into an indoor and outdoor sports center with
adjoining retail and office. The vision of the applicant is to create a regional destination
based on a sports complex , which will be comprised of an indoor soccer facility, outdoor
athletic fields and additional future indoor facilities. In addition, the applicant wishes to
provide sites for restaurants, offices, and general retail such as a drugstore and fuel service
along Inner Loop. There is currently a shortage of commercial development in this general
area to serve the nearby Crystall Knoll and Katy Crossing subdivisions and the applicant is
seeking to capatilize on this void. The applicant is also requesting a change of zoning from
AG, Agriculture District to IN, Industrial, C-3, General Commercial and C-1, Local
Commercial Districts. The intent is to develop the property into an indoor and outdoor
sports complex with adjoining retail and office. An indoor soccer facility, the main catalyst
for this development, is allowed by the Unified Development Code (UDC) only in the C-3
and IN Districts. Staff recommended to the applicant that the IN District was appropriate
because of the potential for future reuse of the large facility for industrial or similar uses .
The overall vision of the applicant is to create a regional destination based on the sports
complex, which will be comprised of the indoor soccer facility, outdoor athletic fields and
other contemplated future indoor facilities. In addition, the applicant wishes to provide
sites for restaurants, offices, and general retail such as a drugstore and fuel service along
Inner Loop. There is currently a shortage of commercial development in this general area to
serve the nearby Crystall Knoll and Katy Crossing subdivisions and the applicant is seeking
to capatilize on this void. The C-3 and C-1 Districts will accommodate the proposed uses
and offer the flexibility for high-density residential and mixed-use buildings, which the
applicant has expressed an interest in developing. The intent is to develop this site with an
overall design scheme, common internal open space and connectivity between the
commercial uses and the sports complex. Staff is also recommending extending Sudduth
Drive through the property to CR 151 to give more internal access and driveway, and fewer
driveways onto Inner Loop and CR 151.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. The applicant was not present. Chair Padfield
opened the Public Hearing for both items #6 & #7. No one came forward to speak. Chair
Padfield stated the public hearing will continue Thursday, November 5th.
8.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Special Use Permit for a bar/private club at City
of Georgetown, Block 40, Lot 2 (n/pt), located at 701 Main Street, Suite 200, to be known as
Landmark Tavern. (RW) SUP-2009-003
Staff report given by Robbie Wyler. The applicant has requested a Special Use Permit to
allow for a bar/private club establishment on the 2
nd
Floor of the Old Masonic Lodge
building. The intent is to convert the currently vacant, former restaurant space of the
building into a lounge that will provide live music and drinks to customers . Per the
Unified Development Code (UDC) Use Table 5.01.030, Bars and Lounges are allowed in the
Mixed UseDowtown District but require approval of a Special Use Permit from City
Council. By UDC definition, a bar or lounge is defined as a use engaged in the preparation

bars, cocktail lounges, and similar uses other than a Restaurant. The leased area consists of
two separate rooms, totaling 3,000 square feet, above Amante’s Restaurant. The main bar
area is on the west side of the building and is surrounded by the second floor balcony
overlooking the Square. It can be accessed by the tavern’s main entrance door off Main
Street. The back room is on the east side of the building, separated by the central staircase
landing that can be accessed by both the main tavern area and a 7
th
Street entrance door.
The applicant stated his focus is on the “Baby Boomer” generation and will provide a
relaxed and cozy venue with upscale service featuring live acoustic, jazz, blues and other
eclectic music appealing to a growing market in the area.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Chris Damon, owner of the building
reviewed the property history and informed of the future use of the building. Joe Dowda,
the applicant reviewed his experience with managing bars. He hopes to enhance the
downtown are. He also stated smoking will be allowed on the balcony. Chair Padfield

Regular Agenda
4.Consideration and Possible Action on a Waiver request, pursuant to Section 1.03.C
of the Unified Development Code (UDC), to allow utilization of the less restrictive
RS, Residential District setbacks at Berry Creek, Section V, Block C, Lot 23, located at
30418 Briarcrest Drive. (TG) WAI-2009-001
Staff report by Tommy Garcia. The applicant has requested approval of a waiver in
order to utilize the 6-foot side setback of the UDC instead of the more restrictive
platted side setback of 10-feet to facilitate construction of a single-family residence.
The property is within the Berry Creek Subdivison loceted between Airport Road
and State Highway 195. Specifically, the tract is part of the mostly developed Berry
Creek Section 5 neighborhood and located on the west side of Briarcrest Drive , just
north of Kingsway Road.
The lot sits between two developed lots. One home was developed in 2006 and the
other was developed earlier this year. This will be one of the last lots on this street to
be developed. The subdivision was platted in 2004 with 25-foot setbacks along street
frontages, 10-foot and 5-foot alternating side setbacks and 20-foot rear setbacks. The
side setbacks were set out in such a way as to result in a 15-foot separation between
the houses. Many of the homes in the area were built using the platted setback
requirements while others were developed using the regualtions of the Unified
Development Code.The properties on either side of this structure utilize the 10 and
5-foot side setbacks. The property across the street was built using the current UDC
side setback of 6 feet. That structure is also next to a house that utilizes a 5-foot
setback, thus the separation between those two houses is approximately 11 feet. The
proposed waiver would create a 16-foot separation along the north property line
and an 11-foot separation on the south property line. Chair Padfield opened the
Public Hearing. No one came forward the Public Hearing was closed.
Motion by Facey to recommend approval of a waiver , pursuant to Section 1.03.C of
the UDC, to allow utilization of the less restrictive UDC side setback for Berry Creek
Section 5, Phase 1, Block C, Lot 23, located at 30418 Briarcrest Drive. Second by
Montgomery. Approved. (7-0)
5.Consideration and Possible Action on a Waiver request, pursuant to Section 1.03.C
of the Unified Development Code (UDC), to allow utilization of the less restrictive
RS, Residential District setbacks at Williams Addition, Block 6, Lot 1, located at 1801
Dawn Drive. (TG) WAI-2009-002
Staff report given by Tommy Garcia. The applicant has requested approval of a
waiver in order to utilize the front and side setbacks of the UDC instead of the more
restrictive platted setbacks to facilitate construction of a single-family residence. The
property is located at the northwest corner of Dawn Drive and E. Central Drive. The
majority of this subdivision, located between Williams Drive and Northwest
Boulevard, is already developed.
The lot sits on a corner with an existing carport taking access from E. Central Drive.
There is also an existing gazebo that the applicant plans on moving to a different
portion of the lot.
The property was platted in 1969 with a 25-foot setback along all street frontages.
Since that time the City’s development regulations have gone through several
revisions even though the setbacks on the plat have stayed the same. These revisions
have included keeping the front setback at 25 feet while reducing the side street
setback to 15 feet, to the current regulation that requires a 20-foot front setback and a
10-foot side setback along a street frontage. Since, until recently, builders were able
to utilize either the current development regulations or the platted setbacks , many of
the homes in the area utilized the setbacks from the development regulations at the
time of their construction.
Two other lots at the intersection are not developed. The property next door to this
lot was built utilizing a front setback of 20 feet. The property across the street , which
is also a corner lot, was built utilizing a front setback of 20 feet and a street setback of
25 feet. It is unclear from the file as to whether the house was setback that distance
due to regulation or to accommodate the design of the home. Further down, on the
other side of Dawn Drive, the home is setback 35 feet from the front property line
Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward the Public Hearing
was closed. Motion by Austin to recommend approval of a waiver , pursuant to
Section 1.03.C of the UDC, to allow utilization of the less restrictive UDC front and
side setbacks for Williams Addition Unit 2, Block 6, Lot 1, located at 1801 Dawn
Drive. Second by Facey. Approved. (7-0)
6.Public Hearing and Possible Action on an Amendment to the Unified
Development Code (UDC) to revise Sections 10.04, 10.06, and 16.04 “Definitions of
Uses” and add a new Section 10.06.070 “Changeable Electronic Variable Message
(CEVM) Signs” to allow Changeable Electronic Variable Message (CEVM) signs.
(EC) Elizabeth Cook reviewed the Amendments to the Unified Development Code.
Chair Padfield opened the public Hearing. Ross Hunter, 908 S. Walnut, stated he is
concerned with safety. He feels that anything that is trying to attract the driver is
distracting the driver from driving. However, he is not opposed to business owners
wanting to upgrade signage. Linton Mayfield, 2706 Giacomo Cove stated he is the
owner of the DQ in Georgetown. He feels that any sign could be potentially
dangerous, but his DQ on a busy corner in Lockhart has not had any problems .
Sherry Danu, 1101 Walnut is concerned with IH 35 looking like Burnet road in
Austin. Peter Dana has been in Georgetown for 30 years and feels Georgetown does
not have the look and feel as Cedar Park and Round Rock and would like to see this
continue. The Public Hearing was closed. Discussion among Commissioners.
Motion by Facey to recommend to City Council approval of the Proposed
Amendments to the Unified Development Code with a sixty minute per frame time
limit, with a text color of Amber with black background , with the maximum daytime
bright time brightness level of 4690 nits and the maximum nighttime brightness level

1.Action from Executive Session. There was not an Executive Session.
Consent Agenda
The Consent Agenda includes non-controversial and routine items that the Commission may
act on with one single vote. A Commissioner or any member of the public may request that
any item from the Consent Agenda be pulled in order that the Commission discuss and act
upon it individually as part of the Regular Agenda. The Planning and Zoning Commission's

of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
3.Consideration and Possible Action on a Preliminary Plat for 2.28 acres in the Flores
Survey to be know as the Woerner-Baker Subdivision located at 2501 N. Austin Ave.
(TG) PP-2009-007
Motion by Facey to approve the consent agenda including the June 2, 2009 minutes.
Second by Collier. Approved. (4-0)
Regular Agenda:
Commissioner Austin arrived at 6:07pm
4.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District to
PUD, Planned Unit Development for 14.307 acres in the Burrell Eaves Survey, also
known as the Sun City Community Gardens, located near the intersection of State
Highway 195 and Sun City Boulevard. (JM) REZ-2009-009
Staff report by Jordan Maddox . The Community Gardens were developed for the Sun
City residents to have small garden plots in a common area. The property is currently
located outside of the city limits, although there is a companion annexation request
currently in process that will have to be approved prior to the rezoning. The
non-residential use of the land had not been consistent with the Sun City Concept Plan
until the recent 9
th
Amendment was adopted. That amendment added the Community
Gardens site as an Institutional Use to the Concept Plan. A condition of the 9
th
Amendment application was that an additional application would be filed to annex and
rezone the Garden site. This application complies with that condition. At the present
time, the property does not require a plat or Site Plan, although either could be required
in the future. The planned Softball Park on the lot east of the gardens will contain
restroom facilities and potable water that will serve the development on this site. Staff
recommends the rezoning, based on the proposal’s consistency with the Sun City 9
th
Amended Development Agreement and Cncept Plan, UDC and 2030 Plan. Chair
Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Speaker Peter Verdicchio stated that he will be
glad to answer any questions. Chair Padfield opened the public Hearing, No one came
forward, the public Hearing was closed.
Motion by Facey to recommend approval to
City Council of a rezone for 14.307 acres from AG, Agriculture District to PUD, Planned
Unit Development, also known as the Sun City Community. Second by Montgomery.
Approved. (5-0)
5.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning for Hughes Addition, Block 3
(n/ctr/pt), 0.1651 acres, and Hughes Addition, Block 3 (ne/pt), 0.2147 acres, from RS,
Residential Single-Family to CN, Neighborhood Commercial, also known as the
McIntosh Snyder House, located at 514 & 516 E. University Ave. (RW) REZ-2009-010
Staff report by Robbie Wyler. The applicant has requested a change of zoning from RS,
Residential Single-Family District to CN, Neighborhood Commercial District. The
intent is to convert the two properties into a Bed & Breakfast establishment with up to
eight (8) guestrooms. Per Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 5.02.150.B.1, for
Bed & Breakfast establishments within a Residential District, the Bed & Breakfast owner
must be a full-time resident of the main dwelling on the same property on which the
Bed & Breakfast establishment is located. As anticipated, each structure will house four
(4) guestrooms. With the current Ordinance, the owner would have to occupy one of
the structures and structurally connect the second to ensure the B&B establishment is
under one roof. To avoid this requirement, the owner would like to rezone to an
appropriate commercial zoning which would allow him to live off-site and keep the two
structures separate, preventing any damage to the historic value of both buildings and
the property. Currently, the site is screened from neighbors and has parking at the rear
for B&B guests, two items that are required with this type of use. The applicant feels
this type of business would be beneficial to Georgetown and would use the two historic
properties in their highest and best manner. Staff supports the zoning change from RS,
Residential Single-Family to CN, Neighborhood Commercial. This support is based on
the proposal’s consistency with the 2030 Plan and Land Use Element, as well as its
compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The site is adequate for the
proposed small commercial use and should be beneficial to the area. While staff
supports this use at this location, there would be no support for the alteration of the
buildings, as would be needed with the current zoning situation. Additionally, staff
suggests including a limitation on the rezoning that the structures cannot be
demolished or removed. UDC Section 3.13.040.E regulates demolition within the Old
Town Overlay and states that if the HARC denies the Certificate of Design Compliance
for demolition or relocation, then a delay period of 175 days shall be initiated from the
date of the public hearing. This time period allows for an attempt to find an alternative
to demolition or relocation of the structure. During this time period, the applicant and
city staff will work in good faith with the Commission, local preservation groups, and
individuals to find a way to preserve the structure. The case shall be placed on the first
HARC agenda that falls after the 175-day period for Final Action on the application for
a Certificate of Design Compliance. If no alternative to demolition or relocation has
been found, a Certificate of Design Compliance for demolition shall be issued by the
HARC. Should the property owner choose to demolish or remove either structure and
no compromise is made within the 175-day period for HARC, a condition of approval
prohibiting demolition or removal of the structure(s) would require the owner to return
to City Council and amend the rezoning. Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak.
Mr. McIntosh stated he will be glad to answer questions. He reviewed the history of the
house. Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing, No one came forward, the public
hearing was closed. The Commission showed concern that another use other than a Bed
and Breakfast establishment could go into either structure with the approval of a
Neighborhood Commercial zoning. Mr. Wyler suggested creating the limitation that no
use other than a Bed and Breakfast establishment be allowed on either property. He
stated that this would require the property owner to come back to City Council for an
amendment to the rezoning should another use be desired.
Motion by Austin to recommend to City Council Rezoning of 0.1651 acres, being Block
3 (n/ctr/pt), in Hughes Addition and 0.2147 acres, being Block 3 (ne/pt), in Hughes
Addition, from RS, Residential Single-Family District to CN, Neighborhood
Commercial District with the limitations that neither structure be allowed for
demolition or removal and that no use other than a Bed & Breakfast establishment be
allowed. Second by Collier. Approved 5-0.
6.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning for 2.28 acres in the Flores Survey,
from RS, Residential Single-Family to C-1, Local Commercial, to be known as
Woerner-Baker Subdivision located at 2501 N. Austin Ave. (TG) REZ-2009-011
Staff report by Tommy Garcia. The applicant has requested a change of zoning from RS,
Residential Single-Family District to C-1, Local Commercial District. The intent is to
redevelop the residential mobile home property into three small professional offices.
Staff supports the rezoning change from Residential Single-Family to Local
Commercial. This support is based the proposal’s consistency with the 2030 Plan and
Land Use Element, as well as its compatibility with the zoning and uses of the
surrounding area. Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Staff stated the
engineer is here and will be glad to answer any questions.
Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing, No one came forward, the public hearing
was closed. Motion by Austin to recommend to City Council approval to rezone 2.28
acres in the Flores Survey, from RS, Residential Single-Family to C-1, Local Commercial.
Second by Facey. Approved. 5-0
7.Possible discussion and update on the 2008-2009 Annual Unified Development Code
(UDC) review process and the UDC review calendar.
Elizabeth reviewed over the UDC process and stated waiver application maybe coming
forward to the P&Z meeting for approval.
8.Discussion and possible action to schedule a special meeting and public hearing for the
Third Round of 2008-2009 Unified Development Code Amendments.
Elizabeth stated that staff will hopefully bring the third round of UDC during the
September P&Z meeting or later in the month during a special called meeting. Fourth
round of UDC will hopefully brought forward later in the year.
9.Discussion on the Development Review Committee (DRC) process.

Chair Padfield stated the order of the meeting and that those who speak must turn in a speaker
form to the recording secretary before the item that they wish to address begins. Each speaker
will be permitted to address the Commission once for each item, for a maximum of three (3)
minutes, unless otherwise agreed to before the meeting begins.
1.Action from Executive Session. There was not an Executive Session.
Consent Agenda
The Consent Agenda includes non-controversial and routine items that the Commission may
act on with one single vote. A Commissioner or any member of the public may request that
any item from the Consent Agenda be pulled in order that the Commission discuss and act
upon it individually as part of the Regular Agenda. The Planning and Zoning Commission's
approval of an item on the Consent Agenda will be consistent with the staff recommendation
described in the report, unless otherwise noted.
2.Consideration of the Consent agenda including the Minutes of the April 9, 2009 meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Commission with corrections.
3.Consideration and Possible Action on a Partial Vacation of Calder Subdivision, Lot 1 and
Calder Subdivision, Lot 1A, as Amended, being 38.60 acres in the C. Joyner and John
Sutherland Surveys, located on County Road 262. FP-2009-007 (CB)
4.Consideration and Possible Action on a Public Review Final Plat for 6.235 acres in the
Eaves Survey for a portion of Neighborhood 61, to be known as the Sun City Softball and
Dog Park, located near the intersection of Sun City Blvd and S.H. 195. PP-2009-005 (JM)
Motion by Facey to approve the Consent agenda including the minutes of the April 9, 2009
meeting with corrections. Second by Lawson. Approved. (7-0)
Regular Agenda
5.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Preliminary Plat for a Resubdivision with a
waiver to Section 6.03.020 of the Unified Development Code, for 0.43 acres being further
described as Crestview Addition, Block 2, Lot 1 (s/pt), and a 0.12-acre portion of former Oak
Lane right-of-way, to be known as RCD Properties, LLC Subdivision, located at 1623 Rivery
Blvd. PP-2009-001 (TG) Staff report by Tommy Garcia. This Preliminary Plat will combine
an existing lot with recently acquired right-of-way. The applicant acquired the unimproved
right-of-way to facilitate the development of the site into a small office. The applicant is
further requesting a waiver to Section 6.03.020 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) to
reduce the front setback from the required 25 feet to 10 feet to better facilitate development
of the site. The property is located on Rivery Boulevard near Williams Drive. The former
unimproved right-of-way sits between the existing structure, Oak Lane and Rivery
Boulevard right-of-way. The applicant acquired the house and lot in hopes of redeveloping
the site into a small office. Due to the size and shape of the lot, as well as its location on a
minor arterial, the applicant felt that it was no longer viable as a single-family residential
site. To further facilitate development of the site, the owner acquired some of the adjacent
Oak Lane right-of-way that was no longer in use with the construction of Rivery Boulevard.
The plat follows all of the requirements of a Preliminary Plat, which means the site will
have utility, landscape and access easements, right-of-way dedication, impervious cover
delineations, etc. A condition of the ordinance rezoning this property to Office was that all
access to the property be taken from Rivery Boulevard. and that a six-foot opaque fence or
wall be built with development of the site to buffer the adjacent residential properties. The
property also contains a 40-foot LCRA Transmission Line easement that transects the
property from the western property line through the northeast property line. The waiver to
Section 6.03.020 of the UDC centers on the proposed location of the driveway and drive
aisle to serve parking on both sides of the building. As drive aisles are not permitted within
the setbacks, the developer would be unable to provide a drive aisle to the rear of the
property for access and parking without a reduction of the front setback from 25 feet to 10
feet. The setback area will be separated from the nearby residential structures by the before
mentioned opaque fence or wall per the rezoning ordinance stipulations. As front setbacks
are based on the orientation of the narrowest portion of the lot, the front setback in this case
is along the remaining Oak Lane right-of-way. However, in this case, the front setback
functions as more of a side setback and a 25-foot setback would render much of the usable
area of the site useless. The subject property is not near another structure on Oak Lane that
would cause alignment issues with the structures on that street. Conversely, with the
proposed setback, the structure is in more alignment with the adjacent office on Rivery
Boulevard.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Applicant was not present.
Chair Padfield open the Public Hearing. No one came forward, the Public Hearing was
closed. Motion by Austin to recommend to the City Council approval of the
Preliminary Plat for a Resubdivision of 0.43 acres, to be known as RCD Properties, LLC
Subdivision, with a waiver to Section 6.03.020 of the Unified Development Code reducing
the front setback from 25 feet to 10 feet. Second by Facey. Approved. (7-0)
6.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning to OF, Office District for 0.12 acres in
the N. Porter Survey, being former Oak Lane right -of-way, also known as RCD Properties,
located at 1623 Rivery Blvd. REZ-2009-006 (TG) Staff report given by Tommy Garcia. This
application is for a rezoning to OF, Office District, for former right-of-way adjacent to an
existing site that was zoned OF in March of 2008. The owner is R.J. Tingley. The applicant is
requesting a rezoning to the OF District in order to complete the redevelopment of the
existing house and surrounding property for use as professional office building. This site
sits at the southern end of Oak Lane. The ordinance the rezoned the original lot requires
access from Rivery Boulevard. As the property was right-of-way, it was never assigned a
zoning district. It was abandoned by Council action on February 29, 2009. The adjoining
property has already been zoned OF and the owner wishes to use this property to aid in the
conversion of that site into an office. When the original property was zoned to OF there
were some concerns about a non-residential use being adjacent to the residential
neighborhood and the possibility of increased traffic on Oak Lane, a residential street.
Council required the property access to be from Rivery as well as a buffer from both the
neighborhood and Oak Lane. This rezone will further aid in the property being able to take
access from Rivery Boulevard. The plan for the property is to combine it with the adjoining
lot to facilitate the development of a small professional office. The companion Preliminary
Plat joining the properties into one is being processed separately. The property is located on
Rivery Boulevard near the intersection of Williams Drive. The former unimproved
right-of-way sits between the existing structure, Oak Lane and Rivery Boulevard
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Applicant was not present. Chair Padfield
open the Public Hearing. No one came forward, the Public Hearing was closed.
Motion by
Montgomery to Recommend to the City Council Approval of a Rezoning to OF, Office

Regular Agenda
5.Public Hearing and Possible Action on an Amendment to the Sun City Development
Agreement, amending the Sun City Concept Plan to accommodate the Sun City Softball
Park and Community Gardens, located on Sun City Blvd. DA-2009-001 (JM) Report give by
Jordan. There are two significant paragraphs in the proposed 9
th
Amendment to the
Development Agreement. The first is the replacement of the 8
th
Amended Concept Plan
with the 9
th
Amended Concept Plan and includes the language that the vesting date of
November 1, 1999 remains in effect. The second paragraph verifies that the existing
development remains intact and is changed only by the proposed 9
th
Amendment.
The Concept Plan proposes the additions of a 6.2-acre Softball Park and the existing 5.3-acre
Community Gardens, both approximate in exact size and boundary . There are other, less
significant, changes to the Concept Plan that should be noted here:
Note #3 on the Concept Plan: “Construction Staging and Storage to occupy 25 acres
allocated for single family, during construction of site” is removed and the corresponding
graphical depiction of the storage site on the Plan is also removed. The reason for the
removal is that the staging area has been physically removed from that location and a
residential neighborhood has been built in its place, so the depiction is no longer useful or
relevant to the Concept Plan.
The Phasing Summary, which was a requirement of concept plans, was focused on
provisions of infrastructure and, specifically, the timing thereof. That is no longer relevant
for the Sun City project due to the much iteration of utility agreements with the City and
the fact that the infrastructure facilities associated with the Sun City build-out are in place
or planned. For these reasons, the summary table is removed from the 9
th
Amended
Concept Plan.
Land Use Summary acreages are updated to reflect the new additions.
It should be noted that the Community Garden addition to the Concept Plan is an existing
use operated by the Sun City Community Association. It is currently outside of the city
limits and carries no zoning. City staff has informed the developer that this use is
operating outside of the terms of the Development Agreement and the developer has
agreed to annex and zone the property in the coming months to resolve this issue. There is
no new proposal or change to the Community Garden site at this time. The City has
received a letter from the applicant pledging to submit applications for both annexation
and zoning of the Community Gardens by the May 21
st
application deadline.
Concurrent Application(s):
An application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning to accommodate the
Softball and Dog Park is currently in process and will require this Concept Plan and
Development Agreement to be approved by City Council prior to adoption. That
application is called Sun City Neighborhood 61 because it replaces a previously approved
neighborhood, part of which will remain in the PUD.
This item would allow the proposed uses contemplated in that application; it does not
change any details in the PUD application. Staff supports the change as proposed.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Peter Verdicchio stated he will be glad to
answer questions.
Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward the Public Hearing was
closed. Motion by Facey that after holding the required public hearing , recommend to
the City Council approval of the 9
th
Amended Concept Plan and 9
th
Amendment to the Sun
City Texas Development Agreement. Second by Lawson. Approved. (6-0)
6.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning to amend and increase the acreage of an
existing PUD, Planned Unit Development, for 25.43 acres in the Burrell Survey, located on
Sun City Blvd., to be known as Sun City Neighborhood 61, including the Softball
Park and future residential. REZ-2008-020 (JM) Report given. The application is to
amend an existing Planned Unit Development for Neighborhood 61 that was previously
approved by City Council in March of 2007. The owner is Shannon Barksdale with Pulte
Homes and the agent is Simon Gonzales with AECOM. The amendment to the PUD is
required to change the proposed uses and their associated development standards and also
to expand the boundaries of the District. The previously approved neighborhood was
platted and zoned for residential lots only but was never built. The new proposal to the
PUD would accommodate a softball park, dog park, restroom and concession facilities and
parking associated with said uses. In addition, the PUD contemplates future residential
lots for a portion of the PUD. The new PUD development plan and eventual plat for this
site will replace the previously approved versions outright.
The approximately 25-acre site is located in the northeastern portion of the Sun City
development, at the intersection of Sun City Blvd and State Highway 195 and adjacent to
the existing Community Gardens. It is adjacent to the Shady Oaks development in the ETJ,
separated by a local street.

Unit Development , for 28.429 acres in the Foy Survey , also known as Sun City
Neighborhood Fifty-two, located near the intersection of Pedernales Falls and Cool Springs
Way. REZ-2009-004 (JM) Report given by Jordan. The application is to amend an existing
Planned Unit Development for Neighborhood 52 that was previously approved by City
Council in December of 2006. The owner is Shannon Barksdale with Pulte Homes and the
agent is Simon Gonzales with AECOM. The amendment to the PUD is required to expand
the boundaries of the District and add additional lots.
The 28-acre site is located in the northwestern portion of the Sun City development, near
the new Cowan Creek Golf Course and Amenity Center, which is nearing completion. The
property is currently zoned PUD, as previously approved in December of 2006. The
property was annexed in 2006, as well. The property falls under the regulations of the 1999
Subdivision Regulations and the Sun City 8
th
Amended Concept Plan/ 8
th
Amendment to the
Sun City Development Agreement. The previously approved Neighborhood 52 was for
27.760 acres and contained 124 single-family “cluster” lots. The cluster housing type allows
for smaller lots and shorter setbacks, as defined in the 8
th
Amendment. The current PUD
amendment will retain the cluster concept but add eleven lots and increase the boundaries
of the PUD to 28.429 acres. The proposed development is consistent with the applicable
regulations and is shown to be residential/golf on the Sun City Concept Plan. Chair
Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Peter Verdicchio stated he will be glad to answer

The application is to amend an existing Planned Unit Development for Neighborhood 52
that was previously approved by City Council in December of 2006. The owner is Shannon

REZ-2009-003 (JM)
**Postponed by the applicant to the May 5

Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting. **
9.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning to amend an existing PUD, Planned
Unit Development, for 0.661 acres in the Snyder Addition, Block 7 (E/PT), located at 1008 E.
University Avenue, also known as the San Gabriel House Bed & Breakfast. REZ-2009-005
(RW) Staff report given by Robbie Wyler. On September 12, 2000, the City Council
approved a rezoning from the RS, Residential Single-Family District to the RP, Residential
Planned District to allow for a Bed & Breakfast within the existing residential structure .
The following conditions were made part of the approval:
The use of the property is restricted to use for a Bed and Breakfast or any use permitted
in the RS – Residential Single Family Zoning District;
Use of the property for a Bed and Breakfast Hotel shall require an on-site resident
manager;
The preparation and serving of food is restricted to overnight guests;
Hosting of social events or meetings is prohibited;
No dumpster as a receptacle of garbage shall be located on site;
Length of stay for guests is limited to 14 consecutive nights
A six foot (6’) privacy fence shall be built at the rear of the property along 13
th
Street to
shield the parking lot and may be closer than the required 25’ setback.
The RP District was renamed to PUD, Planned Unit Development with the adoption of the
UDC in 2003. The base district of this property remained RS, Residential Single Family.
Recently, the current owners of the San Gabriel House Bed & Breakfast became aware that
there were conditions attached to the 2000 rezoning that could affect the way they are
running their business. To ensure that they are operating properly and within compliance
of all City regulations, they owners are applying for an amendment to the PUD. There are
two conditions that the applicant is asking to amend. The first is Condition 3; the
preparation and serving of food is restricted to overnight guests. Secondly is Condition 4;
Hosting of social events or meetings is prohibited. With these two conditions, the San
Gabriel House Bed & Breakfast cannot host small events or serve food to guests who are
not staying overnight. Unaware of the conditions, they have been hosting social events and
serving food for many years. They are asking to amend the PUD to remove conditions
number three and four so that they may legally continue their current activities. All events
held at the facility will still be required to get approval through the Permits & Inspections
office. The requested amendment to the PUD is appropriate given the size of the property
and the site’s location along University Avenue. A Bed & Breakfast within a residential
zoning district is allowed to host events and serve food to non-guests as long as the proper
permits are obtained . The applicants have in the past hosted small events with no recorded
issues from neighbors or the City. Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Neil Rapp
stated he will be glad to answer questions. Chair Padfield opened the Public Hearing. No
one came forward the Public Hearing was closed. Motion Facey Recommend approval of a
Rezoning to amend an existing PUD in the Snyder Addition, Block 7 (E/PT), located at 1008
E. University Avenue, also known as the San Gabriel House Bed & Breakfast. Second
Collier Approved (6-0)
10.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Special Use Permit to amend the existing
conditions of approval, for 0.41 acres in the Morrow Addition, Block E (NW/PT), located at
1237 S. Main Street. SUP-2009-001 (RW) Staff report given by Robbie Wyler. The subject
property is located along the east side of Main Street between University Avenue and 16
th
Street. The tract has an existing zoning classification of RS, Residential Single-Family and a
Future Land Use of Mixed Use Neighborhood Center. On September 23, 2008, City Council
approved a Special Use Permit (SUP) for an accessory residential unit on the subject
property with the conditions that it not be used for rental purposes, the footprint of the
accessory structure remain the same and the only exterior changes allowed are the addition
of two dormers above the garage doors and updated doors and windows. Since the SUP
approval, the applicant has come back to staff requesting an amendment to the SUP that
includes removing the existing garage and replacing it with an addition to the house that
would include a new garage and accessory residential unit. As there is no amendment
process for Special Use Permits, a new Special Use Permit is proposed that addresses the
applicant’s modified plans for the unit. Again, the applicant is requesting the SUP to allow
for an accessory residential unit. An existing detached garage and former living quarters
will be demolished to make way for a new attached garage and accessory residential unit.
The unit will be constructed at the rear of the main structure and behind the new attached
garage. The 900 square foot accessory residential unit will be below 25% of the main
structure’s total area of 3,617 square feet, as required by the Unified Development Code
(UDC). The property owner wants to provide living quarters within the unit for visiting
family and friends. The applicant has stated that the living quarters will not be used for
rental purposes. No Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) approval is needed from the
Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) for the proposed addition. Chair
Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Applicant has no comments. Chair Padfield opened
the Public Hearing. No one came forward the Public Hearing was closed.
Motion by Austin to approve the Special Use Permit for an accessory residential unit at
1237 S. Main Street. Second Lawson. Approved. (6-0).
11.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Preliminary Plat for a Resubdivision of the San
Gabriel Estates, Lots 7 & 8, to be known as Sonrisa (also known as Esperanza), located on
Williams Drive near the intersection of Wagon Wheel Trail. PP-2009-002 (JM) Report given
by Jordan. This application is for a Preliminary Plat to split the existing Lots 7 and 8 of San
Gabriel Estates into five commercial lots. The lots will be a mix of medical and professional
offices with some commercial /retail anticipated . The owner is Steve Richmond , the agent is
Jim Cummins from Steger and Bizzell and the proposed project will be known as Sonrisa
(was recently rezoned under its former name, Esperanza). Since this is a change to an
existing subdivision, it is considered a Resubdivision (also known as a Replat), which
means it is required to have a public hearing. It will meet all of the current requirements of
a UDC Preliminary Plat. The 7.9-acre site is located on Williams Drive, near the intersection
of Wagon Wheel Trail. The 7.9-acre site was originally subdivided as a portion of the San
Gabriel Estates, Lots 7 and 8. It was annexed as part of the City’s 2006 Annexation Process
and was subsequently given the default zoning of AG, Agriculture. On January 27, 2009,
the two lots were rezoned C-1, Local Commercial. The plat follows all of the requirements
of a Preliminary Plat, which means the site will have utility, landscape and access
easements, right-of-way dedication, impervious cover delineations, etc. The reason for this
condition was to preserve existing trees, including two heritage trees, so a note has been
added to the plat to represent this condition. The plat follows all of the requirements of a
Preliminary Plat, which means the site will have utility, landscape and access easements,
right-of-way dedication, impervious cover delineations, etc. This project is being
master-planned and will include shared parking, open space, shared stormwater detention
and will be built with an overall design intended to take advantage of native trees and
common areas. A condition of the ordinance rezoning this property to C-1 was that any
applicable “build-to” provision (for building setbacks) be calculated as a total of the site’s
Williams Drive frontage and not lot-by-lot. The reason for this condition was to preserve
existing trees, including two heritage trees, so a note has been added to the plat to
represent this condition.
Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Applicant has no comments. Chair Padfield
opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward the Public Hearing was closed. Motion
by Facey, after conducting the required public hearing, recommend approval of the
Preliminary Plat for a Resubdivision of the San Gabriel Estates, Lots 7 and 8, to be known as

Regular Agenda
3.Public Hearing and possible action on a Special Use Permit for an accessory residential
structure at Glasscock Addition, Block 29, Lots 7 & 8, located at 404 East 7
th
Street, also
known as the residence of West and Sarah Short. (RW) SUP-2008-006. Staff report by
Robbie Wyler. The subject property is located at the southeast corner of 7
th
and Elm Streets.
The tract has an existing zoning classification of RS, Residential Single-Family and a Future
Land Use of Mixed Use Neighborhood Center.
The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow for an accessory residential
unit. The unit will be located within an existing accessory structure on the property that
currently includes a garage and unfinished storage space and will include a full bathroom
and small kitchenette. The property owner wants to establish the living quarters within the
building to provide for visiting family and friends . There are no plans for any structural
expansion and the living quarters will not be used for rental purposes.
At this time, no Certificate of Design Compliance (CDC) approval is needed from the
Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC). Based on the Unified
Development Code (UDC), the requested Special Use Permit is appropriate for the
property. A property zoned Residential Single-Family allows for an accessory residential
unit with the approval of a Special Use Permit to ensure that the addition of the unit will
not negatively affect the surrounding properties. The subject building is currently being
used as an unfinished storage area. The applicant would like to use it as both an
entertainment area and additional sleeping quarters for guests. An SUP is required
because the unit will include bath and kitchen facilities and therefore be considered living
quarters. The project will not involve the expansion of any structures or create new uses
for the property. In addition to the Special Use Permit, Inspection Services will be
reviewing the project to ensure that the building has all the proper permits related to the
proposed use and renovation.
Chair Gibbs invited the applicant to speak.
West Short stated he wishes to use the area above the garage as a guest quarters and would
like to include a bath and kitchen area for more privacy. Chair Gibbs opened the Public
Meeting. No one came forward. The Public meeting was closed.
