Residential. It is currently zoned Agricultural (AG) (approximately 67.31 acres) and Residential
Single -Family (RS) (approximately 9.2 acres). The surrounding area is residential in nature. The
subject property is adjacent to the Pinnacle Park subdivision to the north. Other residential

district to the Agriculture (AG) district, for the property generally located at 2050 Rockride Lane
(2019-19-REZ) -- Chelsea Irby, Senior Planner
Staff report presented by Irby. The applicant is requesting to rezone to the Agriculture zoning
district (AG) 20 acres directly adjacent to the existing riding stable operations to allow for future
expansion. The AG district is the only zoning district that allows the use of riding stables. The
subject property is located along Rockride Lane between SE Inner Loop and Sam Houston. It is just
north of the main entrance to the Saddlecreek subdivision. The subject property is currently
undeveloped. It is generally flat with no tree cover. The subject property has three Future Land Use
Designations: High Density Residential (primary designation), Employment Center, and Mixed Use
Community. The current zoning designation of the subject property is Residential Single -Family
(RS). The adjacent properties are undeveloped or agricultural. However; in the surrounding area,
the Saddlecreek subdivision (700+ residential lots), Mitchell Elementary School and Wagner Middle
School are nearby. This area of Georgetown is growing rapidly and there are many tracts of
undeveloped land.
Commissioner Bargainer had a question about the impact on future land use if this is changed to
AG. Irby explained that the partially complies criteria was due to a comparison between the
existing land uses, the impact this zoning may have on the adjacent properties, and the future land
use map. Setback requirements will increase if there are dwellings on the adjacent properties that
are zoned residential.
The owner, Nancy Krenek, presented the ROCK therapeutic riding program to the Commission.
