Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 10
April 6, 2021
Staff report by Bostick. The applicant is requesting approval of a Zoning Map Amendment
(Rezoning) to rezone the subject property from the Residential Single -Family (RS) zoning district to
the Mixed -Use Downtown (MU-DT) zoning district, which also requires the subject property to be
located within the Downtown historic zoning overlay district. The subject property is currently
located within the Old Town historic zoning overlay district. The applicant is requesting this
zoning change to be able to use the historic Jesse Daniel Ames House, the historic main structure on
the subject property, as a day spa. The subject property is located on the west side of Church Street,
two blocks north of University Avenue and directly east of Main Street Baptist Church. The subject
property has a Mixed Density Neighborhood Future Land Use designation and is currently zoned
Residential Single Family (RS). It is also located within the Old Town Overlay zoning district. The
subject property is located along the boundary line between the Downtown and Old Town historic
zoning overlay districts, within the Old Town Overlay district. Surrounding properties include
residential properties to the east and south, a church property on the west half of the block, and a
city parking lot to the north. This is the first development application for the subject property. Prior
applications for this property include building permits for residential work. The Mixed -Use
Downtown (MU-DT) zoning district is intended to provide a location for a mix of land uses
including general commercial and retail activities, office as well as single-family and multi -family
in the downtown area. Developments in the MU-DT District are typically smaller in size and scope
although there may be occasionally heavy traffic. The Mixed -Use Downtown District is only
appropriate in the traditional downtown area of Georgetown. Properties in MU-DT shall meet the
design requirements of the Downtown Overlay District, and Downtown and Old Town Design
Guidelines. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to inn, restaurant, personal
services, singlefamily detached, parking lot, and banking and financial services. Other uses such as
bed and breakfast, general office, upper -story residential, and daycare are permitted subject to
specific design limitations to ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties. Certain land
uses including hotel, theatre, medical or dental clinic, assisted living, multi -family attached, and
community center uses may be permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP). Exhibit
4 contains a comprehensive list of MU-DT district permitted uses and development standards.
The applicant, Richard Ryan, addressed the Commission and was available to answer questions.

AS. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to
rezone approximately 0.141 acres (6,160 sq. ft.), out of the Nicholas Porter Survey, Abstract No. 497,
from the Townhouse (TH) zoning district to the Residential Single -Family (RS) zoning district, for
the property generally located at 206 E Janis Drive (2021-2-REZ) — Michael Patroski, Planner
Commissioner Haynie recused himself from this item and was off the dais.
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 7 of 10
April 6, 2021
Staff report by Patroski. The applicant is requesting to rezone the Townhouse (TH) zoned property
to Residential Single -Family (RS). According to the applicant's letter of intent, the subject property
is proposed to be rezoned to accommodate one (1) residential dwelling unit. The subject property is
located at 206 E Janis Drive and is 0.141-acres in size. The subject property is the western section of
an overall 3.07-acre tract of land that has frontage to both E Janis Drive and Rivery Blvd. The
subject property is part of the Williams Drive Gateway Plan and it is designated Special Area (SA)
with the specific future land use designation of High Density Mixed Housing. The subject property
is currently zoned Townhouse (TH). The subject property is directly adjacent to single family
homes to the east and west. There is also a single-family home across E Janis Drive to the North. To
the south (southeast) is the remaining portion of the 3.07-acre property that is currently vacant and
is also zoned Townhouse (TH). This area includes a corridor mix of mixed use commercial and
residential (single-family residential, attached single-family residential, duplex, and multi -family)
along and surrounding Williams Drive and Rivery Blvd, some of which were developed in the
1970s, 80s and 90s. Trends continue to include commercial and mixed density residential in the
immediate and surrounding areas. In July 2017, the subject property was included in the Williams
Drive Study, specifically within the Centers Area boundary. The purpose of this Study was to
develop a plan of action that incorporates safety, efficient transportation operations, safe
accommodations of all modes, and integration of smart transportation and land use, community
needs and the future economic growth of Williams Dr. The focus of the Centers Area included
developing a plan for a vibrant mixed -use center and gateway along Williams Drive. In February
2019, this property was rezoned to the Townhome (TH) district. As the property was being
designed to accommodate the TH development, it was determined that this portion may be better
suited for a Single Family Residential due to the site configuration and odd shape. The tracts odd
shape also is partially due to the reason why another small portion was rezoned to General
Commercial (C3). (2020-18-REZ). In March 2020, recommendations from the Williams Drive Study
were adopted into the Williams Drive Gateway Plan, a small area plan established by the 2030 Plan
Update. The subject property currently has an on -going Preliminary Plat, that is awaiting the
rezoning decision. (2020-23-PP).
Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing.
Stephanie Bauer,1608 Westwood Lane, lives behind this property and prefers this not be rezoned.
She asked if the property can be bought by the residents near this property so they can rezone this
for their own uses.
Laura Hobgood, 1614 Westwood Lane, requested this rezoning be postponed until there are more
conversations between the residents and Mr. Haynie, to allow for another survey to be conducted.
She also inquired about the residents forming an LLC to possibly negotiate purchasing the
property.
Chair Perthuis closed the Public Hearing.

AT. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to
rezone a 146.786-acre tract of land out of the Woodruff Stubblefield Survey, Abstract No. 556,
from Agriculture (AG) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with a base district of Residential
Single -Family (RS), Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) and General Commercial (C-3), for the
property generally located northeast of the Sam Houston Ave and Bell Gin Road intersection (2020-
4-PUD) —Michael Patroski, Planner
Staff report by Patroski. The Applicant requests to rezone the Property to Planned Unit
Development (PUD) with a mix of RS — Residential Single Family, MF-1— Low Density Multi -
Family and C-3 — General Commercial base districts. The applicant states that the PUD establishes
the framework for a mix of residential housing opportunities along with a mix of retail and office
uses. The subject property has existing Future Land Use designations of Community Center and
Regional Center, and is currently zoned Agriculture (AG). The subject property is directly adjacent
to the Saddle Creek Planned Unit Development (Ord 2018-09) to the north and across Bell Gin Road
to the west. To the south and east is vacant land zoned Agriculture (AG) that holds the Future Land
Use designation of Regional Center. The subject property is located an estimated 500' west of State
Highway 130 Toll. The subject property was annexed into the city limits in 2006 via Ordinance
2006-123, at which time it was given the base zoning district of Agriculture (AG). In October 2019,
the property owner requested to have 119 acres of the subject property change its Future Lane Use
from Employment Center (EC) to Moderate Density Residential (MDR) (2019-5-CPA). At the
applicant's request, this item was postponed from being presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission before being completely withdrawn. Within the Regional Center category,
developments may be configured as major shopping centers, standalone big -box retailers, or large-
scale mixed -use developments, as well as supporting flex office space and office/warehouse
development. These developments are typically automobile oriented with convenient access from
major transportation routes and highway interchanges, however internal pedestrian connectivity is
maximized and includes opportunities for pedestrian activity. Well -integrated residential
developments, which encourage the interaction of residents and businesses, are appropriate and
vertical mixeduse is encouraged. The Community Center category is described in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan as areas 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 developments are 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.
The PUD is a special purpose zoning district intended to allow flexibility in planning and designing
for unique or environmentally sensitive properties and that are to be developed in accordance with
a common development scheme. PUD zoning is designed to accommodate various types of
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 9 of 10
April 6, 2021
development, including multiple housing types, neighborhood and community retail, professional
and administrative areas, industrial and business parks, and other uses or a combination thereof. A
PUD may be used to permit new or innovative concepts in land use and standards not permitted by
zoning or the standards of the Unified Development Code (UDC). The purpose and intent of this
PUD zoning district is to develop a horizontally integrated mixed -use community with a mix of
residential product types and non-residential uses.
The applicant, Peter Verdicchio, addressed the Commission. The land owner, Gene Lawhon, also
addressed the Commission and provided a brief history of the property.
