Legislative Regular Agenda
Bargainer came back on the dais and took back the chair. Item E was moved to the end of the agenda.
E. Consideration and possible action on a Preliminary Final Plat for the Georgetown ISD's
Transportation Center Subdivision, containing 136.90 acres, generally located at the northwest
corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Williams Drive. (PFP-2018-001) Robyn Miga, Planner
Miga presented the report and explained that due to Williamson County offering comments this
item was pulled off the consent agenda. The proposed plat is to develop the subject property as a
transportation center for the Georgetown Independent School District (GISD). The applicant was
required to go through the Preliminary Final Plat process to show Right -of -Way to be dedicated for
a Major Collector (CR 248), and Major Arterial (FM 2338). The proposed Preliminary Plat meets all
of the requirements of the UDC for a one -lot nonresidential subdivision, and is presented for
approval.
Motion by McCord, second by Newman to approve the item. Approved 4 — 0.
F. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone 15.93 acres out of the Barney C. Low
Survey, Abstract No. 385, from Agriculture (AG) to Business Park (BP) generally located on the
1300 block of Westinghouse Road (REZ-2018-005). Jordan Feldman, Planner
Davila presented the staff report. Staff indicated this application complies with all approval
criteria.
McCord asked about the apartment complex immediately to the east of this property and how close
to the property line it was being built. Davila explained all projects are complying with the setback
requirements of the UDC and in fact the apartments are more centralized on their property and the
business park would be required to install a buffer yard between the two developments. This
property would be meeting the new standards being adopted for the BP zoning district, for a 5 acre
minimum site, instead of the previous 20 acre requirement.
The applicant spoke about the future plans of the property. The owner is looking to add a high-end
computer service businesses to this development.
Chair Bargainer opened the Public Hearing and with no speakers coming forth closed it.
Motion by Pitts, second by Brashear to recommend to Council rezoning this property as
presented, contingent upon the council approval of the new BP zoning district standards.
Approved 5 — 0.
G. Update and general discussion on the Planning Department's End of Year Report for 2017. Nathan
Jones, Planner and Jordan Feldman, Planner.
Nathan Jones presented the first part of the report. This is the second presentation of this report and
they are bringing further information that the commission had requested. He showed different
data sets to the commission to show the different data that planners use to make their decisions.
Jones showed the development pipeline map and explained how it is used to project growth. He
explained that the data is being updated and developed for tools to make the decisions that need to
be made. Staff will be working on the data as part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update during
the next year.

The commissioners asked that the pipeline map and full report be sent to them. Pitts asked for a
staff update also, possibly on the website. Nelson appreciates the dialogue and expressed that the
department will be more present at these meetings and are working on providing as much data and
information as possible. Waggoner explained that the individual development unit cost is not
available at this time. He introduced Susan Watkins, Housing Coordinator to provide more
information on policy development in the housing field, which is an integral part of the future land
use plan and comprehensive plan of the city.
H. Presentation and discussion of an update to a previously presented Housing Report. Susan
Watkins, AICP, Housing Coordinator
Watkins spoke about the Housing Advisory Board and what they are doing and will be working
on. She explained the Housing Element update scope, including the housing inventory and market
study for projected growth. The findings will be incorporated into the Future Land Use Plan.
Brashear asked if the 2012 data has been tested and if the projection is what is really accurate or
needed. Pitts understands that the supply did not meet the demand, but asked why developers are
not building that product. Newman explains that developers cannot make money with building
affordable housing. He also stated in other parts of the country developers are required to build
affordable homes in order to get the approvals to build the higher dollar products.
Item E was opened. Brashear and Pitts recused themselves for this item. Notes are shown under that
item above.
Adjournment
Motion by Newman, second by Perthuis to adjourn at 7:11 pm.
