The applicant has requested an amendment to the Future Land Use Plan to extend the current Employment Center and Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center boundaries.

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 .

(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.

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.

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.

(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.

Consideration and Possible Action on a Preliminary Plat for 60.930 acres out of the Dyches Survey, also known as Walnut Springs Subdivision, Phase II, located on Joshua Drive off of FM 3405. (CB) PP-2009-008 Motion by Facey to approve the Consent agenda including the September 1, 2009 minutes as corrected. Second by Lawson. Approved. (7-0) 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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

PP-2009-003 (JM) **Postponed by the applicant to the May 5 th Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. ** 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. Chair Padfield invited the applicant to speak. Peter Verdicchio stated he will be glad to answer questions.

Second by Facey. Approved (6-0) 7.Public Hearing and Possible Action on a Rezoning to amend an existing PUD, Planned 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.

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

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.

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.

The application is for a rezoning to C-3, General Commercial District, from RS, Residential Single-Family District in order to build two office buildings on the 0.997-acre site on the northbound frontage road of IH 35. The owners are Mike and Kelly Church, the agent is Andrew Dodson from Stanley Consultants. The property is located on the northbound frontage road of Interstate 35 between the current Cody Pools Office and Showroom and the Mac Haik Car Dealership. The property previously had a single family residence that has since been demolished. The property carries the Single-Family residential zoning it was assigned upon its annexation in 1987. The property has never been platted, but a final plat and site plan are being processed by separate application concurrent with this application. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from RS to C-3 The applicant is seeking the zoning change to make the site available for the development of two office buildings. The properties to the north and south were zoned General Commercial in 1990 and 1987. The plan for the property is to have retail/office development that is similar in size and scale with the adjacent uses along IH 35 and the surrounding rural residences. The intent of the applicant is to create additional office space adjacent to the current owner’s business to accommodate its expansion as well as provide office lease space . The Site Plan, which has been submitted to the City , incorporates two one-story office buildings as well as the required parking lots.

(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.
