rezone a 48.644-acre tract of land located in the Antonio Flores Survey, Abstract No. 235, patented
in conflict with the Orville Perry Survey, Abstract 10, Williamson County, Texas, from the
Residential Single -Family (RS) and Public Facility (PF) zoning districts to the Public Facility (PF)
(approximately 25.7 acres) and Industrial (IN) (approximately 22.94 acres) zoning districts, for the
property generally located at the western corner of North College Street and W L Walden Drive
(2021-4-REZ) — Ryan Clark, Planner
Commissioner Stanley recused from this item and was off the dais.
Staff report by Clark. The Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject properties from the
Residential Single -Family (RS) and Public Facility (PF) zoning districts to the Public Facility (PF)
and Industrial (IN) zoning districts to continue and expand its use as a solid waste transfer station
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 8 of 11
April 20, 2021
and government facility, as stated in the letter of intent (Exhibit 5). A large portion of the overall
site (approximately 73.48 acres) where the existing facilities are housed is already zoned Industrial
(IN) and Public Facility (PF). This rezoning request would bring the existing uses into compliance
with the appropriate zoning districts needed to accommodate them. The subject properties
encompass W L Walden Drive, on the southern edge of San Gabriel Park. It is currently used a
government facility including a wastewater facility and solid waste transfer station. The subject
properties were annexed into the city in 1975 and had an original zoning designation of Residential
Single -Family (RS). In 2006, part of the original 73.48-acre tract west of the tract surrounding W L
Walden Drive was rezoned from RS to hdustrial (IN). In 2012, another portion of that tract was
rezoned from RS to Public Facility (PF). The subject properties are not platted. The Public Facilities
(PF) zoning district is intended to provide a location for government and other public or quasi -
public facility operations. These may include schools, public parks, hospitals, airports, government
offices, churches and other related uses, but would not include industrial facilities or storage yards.
Some uses allowed in this district might generate heavy traffic volumes and highintensity
operations. The PF district shall contain uses that are allowed in both residential and nonresidential
districts and is subject to non-residential design and landscaping standards for compatibility with
nearby or adjacent residential uses. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to,
emergency services station, government/post office, library, hospital, and utilities. Other uses such
as schools, community centers, churches, restaurants, and event facilities are permitted subject to
specific design limitations to ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties. Certain land
uses including group homes with more than 16 residents, orphanage, psychiatric hospital, and
major event entertainment, maybe permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP).
Exhibit 4 contains a comprehensive list of PF district permitted uses and development standards.
The Industrial (IN) zoning district is intended to provide a location for manufacturing and
industrial activities that may generate some nuisances. Traffic generation will likely include heavy
vehicles, malting access to an arterial or freeway necessary. Unless separated by a major roadway,
the Industrial District is not appropriate adjacent to any residential uses. Permitted uses in this
district include, but are not limited to, emergency services station, driving range, bus barn, transit
passenger terminal, wholesale showrooms, manufacturing, processing and assembly, and heavy
equipment and repair. Other uses such as kennels, heliport, temporary concrete products, and
construction field offices are permitted subject to specific design limitations to ensure compatibility
with the surrounding properties. Certain land uses including substance abuse clinic, indoor firing
range, airport, and waste related uses may be permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit
(SUP). Exhibit 4 contains a comprehensive list of IN district permitted uses and development
standards. Due to the high intensity of the Industrial (IN) zoning district, this district is the only
district that permits general outdoor storage, which is defined as the storage of merchandise, goods
or materials that are not actively for sale. This includes but is not limited to items that are stacked
on pallets and shelves, stored in shipping containers or conexes, and semi -trailers not attached to a
truck. However, it is important to note that outdoor storage is not permitted in a front or street
yard, and must be screened by a solid opaque wall or fence. These standards minimize the impact
that the outdoor storage may have on the area. It should also be noted that should this rezoning be
approved, a Special Use Permit (SUP) will also be required for the proposed expansion of the solid
waste facility.

BD. Consideration and possible recommendation on a request for a Development
Agreement for the LCRA TSC Gabriel Substation, pertaining to a proposed expansion of an existing
electric substation on approximately 24.03 acres generally located at 400 Stadium Drive (2021-1-DA)
— Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning Manager and Ethan Harwell, Senior Planner
Staff report by Harwell. LCRA Transmission Services Corporation owns an approximately 24-acre
property located southwest of the intersection of Stadium Dr and NE h-mer Loop, next to an existing
substation. LCRA wishes to construct a new 795 feet by 384 feet substation to the east of the existing
substation for the purpose of interconnecting the existing and proposed substations.
The subject property has a mix of zoning districts, including Agriculture (AG), Office (OF) and Local
Commercial (C-1); the proposed expansion will be specifically located in the portion of the subject
property zoned Agriculture (AG). Pursuant to Section 5.05.010 of the Unified Development Code
(UDC), this use, which is defined as Utility Services, Intermediate, is permitted in the Agriculture (AG)
district provided that the following site design standards are met:
1. Any structure associated with the use shall be set back 25 feet from the property line of a
residentially -zoned property.
2. An enclosed fence or wall at least six feet in height shall be constructed at the boundaries of any
structure or apparatus associated with the use, consisting of:
o Brick, stone, reinforced concrete or other similar masonry materials;
o Redwood, cedar, preservative pressure treated wood or other similar materials; or
o An alternate material approved by the Director.
3. All fence posts shall be rust -protected metal, concrete based masonry, or concrete pillars.
4. The intermediate utility use shall be screened with large evergreen shrubs planted four feet on
center and staggered 30 to 36 inches, located exterior to any required fencing.
5. The facility shall be secured.
In addition to this use standards, the proposed scope of work is also subject to other site design
standards including but not limited to tree preservation, impervious cover and stormwater
management.
LCRA wishes to deviate from certain requirements in the City's UDC for the proposed expansion, and
as mitigation for these deviations is proposing to include certain enhanced or alternative features.
Consequently, the property owner wishes to enter into a Development Agreement with the City to
approve the deviations sought and enhanced or alternative features proposed in lieu of meeting the
minimum standards
