Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning Manager
Davila presented the staff report and review.
Allen Hill spoke as the representative for the owners. He is speaking for his wife and her two
brothers whose family owns this property. He explained their ownership for the past 70+ years,
citing the rerouting of Lakeway Drive and the expansion of the airport. He explains their desire
to develop the property. Nick Boyd also spoke and explained the buffers and transitional space.
They feel their request is consistent with the future land use land map and the comprehensive
plan.
Brashear asked about proposed list of restrictive uses. These are self-imposed deed restrictions.
Brashear asked if they are open to other considerations, for example having certain activities
restricted to indoor use only. He is not completely open to restricting the external uses.
Schroeder opened the public hearing. He explained the procedures.
Les Romo, Canyon Road, is adamantly opposed to this rezoning. He appreciates the developer
proposing deed restrictions, but states those are not reliable. He states the elementary and
middle school are very near this property, along with residences, and does not want this
industrial rezoning. He feels this is driven by monetary gain, but will devalue the property
values in that area.
Jennifer Franz, 120 Canyon Road, has a major concern about the number of elementary students
that are in the immediate area. She is concerned that the toxic fumes from this rezoning will
expose children to toxicity. She is also concerned about the traffic and the amount of trucks on
this road. This zoning district is too much for this property and could be disastrous.
Brittany Mangin,118 Canyon Road, comes to the committee from a place of love and logic. She

wants to object to the industrial uses and understands the safety of the children and value of the
homes. Their neighborhood is a quiet place and they want to keep it that way. Look at other
areas for industrial zoning.
Shawn Flonouy,101 Canyon Road, is concerned that an environmental impact study and traffic
study has not been conducted. He feels this change will be detrimental to the neighborhood.
Industrial use poses a danger for the elementary and middle school children.
Elizabeth Hunter, Roble Grande, appreciates that these owners have been good citizens, but
believes this is just another way for the airport to encroach into neighborhoods. They do not
believe the airport is in a great place. The noise and air pollution is bad. Traffic is bad on
Lakeway and Northwest Blvd. The flooding issues will become worse.
Ron Doemback, 128 Canyon Road, says never received a notice of this petition, lives
approximately 500 feet from this property. He feels the intended purpose of the new zone will
not be enforceable. He is concerned about the drainage and
Nina Young, 112 Canyon Road, wants to express concerns that the buyer is already under
contract. She asks for an impact study to protect the children. She considers Georgetown to be
beautiful, with deer in residential areas, the cougar, wild turkey and red foxes. She does not
want to see them leave.
Chase Tinney, 119 Canyon Road, believes in speaking up for what is right. They have a close
knit neighborhood, arid an industrial park near their neighborhood is not right.
Chair Schroeder closed the hearing with no other speakers coming forth.
Motion by Marler, second by Stewart to recommend to council denial of this rezoning
Brashear speaks. He explains there are many steps, plans and studies to develop a property.
These guard the project regardless of the zoning of the property. He is concerned that the
recently approved Airport Master Plan would allow this transition zone. He appreciates that a
possible PUD will help with restrictions and guiding the development. There are many things
to consider in this application, and this area.
Bargainer comments that the land owner should look at a PUD zoning and talk to the
neighborhood, to get this property developed. Marler believes the C-1 zoning is applicable in
this area. McCord agrees and states development is inevitable in this area. She feels many of
the uses in Industrial zoning district are unsuitable.
Schroeder agrees with Brashear and that the commission cannot force environmental or traffic
studies. It is hard to live near an airport. And that is usually where industrial uses are built.
Motion to deny passes 5 — 2. (Schroeder and Brashear opposed.)
H. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone Rivery Phase 1 Block B, Lot 5E,
approximately 4.428 acres, and located at 716 S IH -35, from Local Commercial (C-1) to General
Commercial (C-3) zoning district (REZ-2018-019). Robyn Miga, Planner
Bargainer and Brashear recused themselves for conflict of interest and filed the affidavit with
the recording secretary. Chappell took the dais.
Miga presented the staff report.

I. Presentation and discussion of initial findings of the subarea profiles. - Nat Waggoner, AICP,
Long Range Planning Manager
Waggoner explained that the comp plan update process. This summer, the housing situation is
being studied in the city. There will be opportunities in the future for this board to discuss
different strategies and recommendations with council. He explained the subarea map
development and what it would be used for. This will be used with the planning area housing
data to identify how many housing units and types of those units. They are reviewing price per
square foot and house prices historically and projections. They are looking at the share of the
market for types and prices of homes. They are looking at rentals versus sales. They are trying
to summarize the full data report and how that can be utilized to plan the future of the city.
Commissioners discussed the numbers and concerns about the difference between wealth
versus income and the difference that is affected by SU students and those in Sun City. There is
concern about the median income number and the correlation to affordable housing. Waggoner
will come back with more data next time.
