Legislative Regular Agenda
AK. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone approximately 7.059 acres out of the
J. Robertson Survey, Abstract No. 545, William Addison Survey, Abstract No. 21, and the F.A. Hudson
Survey, Abstract No. 295, from the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district to the Low Density Multi -
Family (MF-1) zoning district, for the property generally located northeast of the intersection of FM
1460 and Westinghouse Rd (2020-27-REZ) --Nat Waggoner, Long Range Planning Manager
Staff report by Waggoner. The applicant is requesting the rezoning of the subject property to facilitate a
multi -family development. The proposed zone change would enlarge and existing Low Density Multi -
Family (MF-1) district within a larger parent tract known as the "Wheeler Tract". According to the
applicant's letter of intent, the portion of the Wheeler Tract currently zoned for multifamily is a
"flagpole" site with no frontage on FM 1460 and only very narrow frontage on Westinghouse Road.
The rezoning of the subject property would allow continuous access and visibility for a multi -family
developments on FM 1460. The subject property includes two future land use designations, Mixed
Density Neighborhood and Community Center. The current zoning is Local Commercial (C-1) and
Scenic -Natural Gateway Overlay.
--- This subject property was annexed in_ 2006 and —cgi ven an n fiaf zonffgo, gxxculture(AG)—in 2007; a
Planned Unit Development with base zonings of Local Commercial (C-1) and Multi -Family (MF) was
approved (see Figure 1 below). In 2015 this PUD was removed and the current zoning configuration
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 10
January 5, 2021
was established. The Wheeler Tract Preliminary Plat, which was first approved in 2016 (and
subsequently amended in 2018, 2019, & 2020) to subdivide approximately 52 acres into 8 lots to be
developed with a mix of commercial and multi -family uses.
The Future Land Use map is not meant to be applied to specific parcels. Development patterns of the
Future Land Use Map are generally applied, and the boundaries are meant to be interpreted based on
major roadways, geographic features, geopolitical boundaries and established developments.
Approximately 5 acres of the site is within the Mixed -Density Neighborhood (MDN) future land use
designation and the remainder of the site is within the Community Center future land use designation.
The Mixed Density Neighborhood category includes a blend of single-family and medium -density
housing types. Medium density housing options are consistent with and complementary to the
traditional single-family neighborhood with emphasis on connectivity and access to neighborhood
amenities including schools and parks. Development standards for medium density housing and any
nonresidential uses are in place to ensure compatibility through increased setbacks for taller buildings,
architectural designs that are consistent with the neighborhood, location of more intense uses and
development nearer to the edge of developments, and enhanced landscaping. Additionally, any non-
residential uses are located primarily at arterials and other major roadway intersections and include
appropriate buffering and pedestrian orientation to support the surrounding residents. Community
Centers (CC) are areas that are typically configured as "nodes" of smaller scale at the intersection of
arterial roads and other major thoroughfares. These developments provide local retail, professional
office, and service -oriented businesses that serve the residents of Georgetown. While typically auto -
oriented, pedestrian connections to the surrounding neighborhoods are provided. Well integrated
residential developments, which encourage the interaction of residents and businesses, are appropriate
and vertical mixed use encouraged. To promote the interaction of integrated and adjacent residential
development, these areas emphasize quality building and site design, such as enhanced architectural
features, landscaping, and prominent pedestrian facilities.
Chair Brashear commented that what the applicant's letter of intent indicates regarding property area
conflicts with staff's drawuzg and asked staff to clarify. Waggoner explained that land use is not parcel -
specific. Roadways and natural features are generally used for boundaries when determining future
land use. However, because that is not available here, staff made the best assertion given the land use
map and GIS to determine target ratios.
Chair Brashear also sought clarification regarding future land use and zoning, and asked if the future
land use modification was made after the zoning was created through the PUD. Waggoner explained
that is correct, and the PUD was last amended in 2015, with the future land use plan being updated in
2019 and finished in 2020.
The applicant, Matt Shafiezadeh, presented to the Commission and provided a brief background on the
project.
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing.

Kristiana Beck,1511 Justin Lane, Austin, TX, commented that she worked with the landowner to sell
the property.
Chair Brashear closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner McCord commented that the issue appears to be the proposed zoning change doesn't
support the target ratios under our future land uses. However, there does seem to be appropriate
transition without significantly impacting the target ratios.
Commissioner Perthuis asked staff to explain access for 1460 as this project develops. Waggoner
explained that our engineer reviewed the project, and found that the existing driveway that is there
now supports this property's zoning.
Motion to recommend approval of Item AK (2020-27-REZ) by Commissioner McMichael. Second by
Chair Brashear. Approved (3-1) with Commissioner Perthuis opposed.
AL. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone an
approximately 0.89-acre tract of land out of the Outlot 6, Division A, from the Office (OF) district to the
Residential Single -Family (RS) district, for the property generally located at 1801 Candee St (2020-28-
REZ) -- Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning Manager
Staff report by Davila -Quintero. The applicant has submitted a request to change the zoning
designation of the subject property from Office (OF) to Residential Single -Family (RS) in order to
redevelop the property with residential uses. The subject property was previously developed as a
single-family residential home (circa 1997). Based on property records, it appears that the property has
been used as single family residential for the past 23 years. The applicant would like to subdivide the
subject property for additional residential development. Any new development must comply with the
current standards of the Unified Development Code (UDC) to include permitted uses. Consequently,
the property owner wishes to rezone the subject property in order to subdivide and allow residential
uses.
The subject property is part of an established residential neighborhood within the urban core of
Georgetown, located at 1801 Candee Street. The neighborhood is bounded by South Fork of the San
Gabriel River immediately to the west, West University Ave. to the north, and South Austin Ave. to the
east. The subject property has a Community Center Future Land Use designation and is currently
zoned vrnce'OF�. lne applicant is proposing to rezone me subject property to Residential )mgie-
Family (RS). The RS district allows for medium density and its minimum lot size is 5,500 square feet.
The RS district contains standards for development that maintain single-family neighborhood
characteristics. The RS district may be located within proximity of neighborhood -friendly commercial
and public services and protected from incompatible uses. All housing types in the RS district shall use
the lot, dimensional and design standards of the district. Permitted land uses within the district include

permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP). Attachment 4 contains a comprehensive
list of RS district permitted uses and development standards.

Motion to recommend approval of Item AL (2020-28-REZ) as presented, by Commissioner Perthuis.
Second by Commissioner McCord. Approved (4-0).
AM. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone 2.43
acres out of the Nicholas Porter Survey, Abstract No. 497, from the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning
district to the General Commercial (C-3) zoning district, for the property generally located at 1010 Clay
Street (2020-33-REZ). Ryan Clark, Planner
Staff report by Clark. The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from the Local
Commercial (C-1) zoning district to the General Commercial (C-3) zoning district to entitle the property
for more intense commercial uses. The subject property is located at 1010 Clay Street, at the northwest
corner of Clay Street and IH 35's southbound frontage road (north of Williams Drive). It is currently
undeveloped. The subject property has a few existing trees dotting the property. Some of the trees
could fall under Protected or Heritage Tree status. The property has a smooth and flat topography
which slopes toward IH-35. The subject property has a Highway Commercial designation and is part of
the Williams Drive Gateway Plan. It is currently zoned Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district. It is also
within the Gateway Overlay District and bears a Highway Corridor designation. The subject property
is located along the west side of the IH-35 corridor north of Williams Drive. This stretch of the corridor
is primarily developed with older commercial sites used for restaurants and overnight
accommodations. There are Local Commercial (C-1) and General Commercial (C-3) properties adjacent
to the subject property that have been zoned that way since the 1970s. Commercial uses in the
immediate vicinity include numerous hotels, a commercial entertainment center, and a retail center. In
contrast to these, there is a residential neighborhood directly west of the property. It is important to
note that this property is just one block off the recently completed Rivery Boulevard extension which
links it to the Rivery Development to the south and to the future Fontana Plaza development to the
north. This area is designated as Highway Commercial by the Williams Drive Gateway Plan. The
Highway Commercial designation provides for largescale retail amenities while still encouraging
neighborhood retail. Acceptable uses include big -box retail, lodging, offices, medical offices, retail, and
restaurants. The Gateway Overlay District notes that Highway Corridors include primarily auto -
oriented, nonresidential development such as commercial, retail, office, and mixed -use to capitalize on
highway visibility and access. The General Commercial (C-3) zoning district is intended to provide a
location for general commercial and retail activities that serve the entire community and its visitors.
Uses may be large in scale and generate substantial traffic, making the C-3 District only appropriate
along freeways and major arterials. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to,
general retail, hotels, restaurants, and general office. Other uses such as activity center, bar/tavern/pub,
college/university, fuel sales, and event facility among others are permitted subject to specific design

limitations. Certain land uses, including automotive sales, rental or leasing facilities, require a Special
Use Permit (SUP).

AN. Public Hearing and possible action on an Executive Text Amendment to Chapter 16 of
the Unified Development Code (UDC) relative to the definition of an Electric Utility Services
Availability Letter -- Wesley Wright P.E., Systems Engineering Director
Report by Wrighf: Within the City of CPnr9'ptMnm rih7 limitc anrd FTT Tharp arp miilf-i le electric utiliy
providers that provide service to new and existing development. In an effort to ensure both utility
service to the development site and design and construction consistency with the UDC requirements
for utilities we currently require a utility service availability letter in advance of subdivision and site
development plan approval. This amendment would require a utility service letter ( often referred to as
a "will -serve" letter) from the electric provider and a commitment letter (signed by the applicant) that
the electric service will be installed in conformance to the requirements of the UDC.
Commissioner McCord asked if this shifts responsibility or clarifies that the developer has to take
responsibility. Wright explained that this clarifies responsibility, and electric utilities have asked for
this due to the potential risk,
