W. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for an Zoning Map Amendment to amend the
Shadow Canyon Planned Unit Development (PUD) to remove a private/HOA trail from
Exhibit D of the PUD - Open Space Plan, and Paragraph F of the PUD document, consisting of
278.21 acres in the Isaac Donagan Survey Abstract 178 and Joseph Thompson Survey Abstract
608, generally located south of SH 29, approximately 1.25 miles west of DB woods and located
at the intersection of River Terrace and SH 29. (2021-8-PUD)-- Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Staff report by Nelson. The Shadow Canyon Subdivision is today known as the Riverview
Neighborhood. In 2016 the City Council approved a Planned Unit Development District (PUD)
in conjunction with a consent agreement to allow a Municipal Utility District (MUD). The PUD
entitled the following:
- The development of a 600-lot residential development.
- The development standards proposed with the PUD provide for varying sizes of single-
family residential products
- 83 acres of open space
- 22 acres of parkland along the river, including construction of a mile of public trail
The specific element of the PUD triggering this agenda item is a developer obligation for
construction of a mulch trail through the center of the neighborhood. The trail was negotiated
into the PUD when the zoning was initially approved for this development. The intent for the
trail was to enhance the open space and amenities of this neighborhood and to allow for
additional pedestrian connectivity.
In May of 2021 the City Council considered, and ultimately approved, an amendment to the
MUD consent agreement for this development. In advance of City Council's consideration of
the MUD amendment the property owners within the Shadow Canyon/ Riverview
development were noticed of the change and many of the neighborhood residents became
aware of the requirement for a mulch trail that was planned to be constructed adjacent to their
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 7
October 5, 2021
properties. The neighborhood residents, specifically adjacent to the mulch trail, have expressed
concerns about privacy and safety and have requested the trail be removed from the plan. The
developer, in conjunction with residents adjacent to the proposed trail, are requesting an
amendment to the PUD to remove the obligation to construct the required mulch trail. The
development standards of the PUD regulate development across the Shadow Canyon/
Riverview development. A change as requested by the neighborhood residents requires an
amendment to the trail and open space plan would trigger a PUD Amendment.
Commissioner Stanley asked if removal interrupts any city plans? Nelson explained that it does
not, this is an HOA maintained trail. Commissioner Stanley also asked how much has already
been built out and at what stage the trails are put in. The applicant explained the current
development, and the remaining stages of construction, and also explained that some parcels
are built concurrent with the trails. The applicant also explained that this was a resident driven
request, not applicant driven.
Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing.
Will Arnold,141 Rapid Springs Cove, gave his 3 minutes to Heather Arnold. Arnold
commented that there is an issue with connectivity, and parcels don't connect to each other. The
trail is more for hiking not leisure. The residents considered having the trail moved elsewhere
but it causes more problems. There will also be lots of upkeep and increased costs as it will be
an HOA maintained trail. There will also be public access when the residents are paying for this
trial.
Rodney Fedorchak,122 Chanock Cv, commented that he wasn't aware of this item and the
meeting held in May until today. He is not necessarily against the item but thinks more people
should be aware of it.
Chair Perthuis closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Warren commented that there is a problem with more than two hundred
residents having purchased a house and then plans being changed midway. The applicant
explained that there was public engagement done to discuss. Efforts were made to reach all
residents but it is possible we are only hearing from the most vocal residents. The applicant
explained that they are just the developer not the builder, and they sell to the builders. They
can't control what information the builders pass along to the homeowners.
Motion to approve Item W (2021-8-PUD) by Commissioner Haynie. Second by Commissioner
McCord. Approved 5-1 with Commissioner Warren opposed.
Commissioner Noble left the meeting at 6:38pm.

X. Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone Lot
1, Block M, South San Gabriel Urban Renewal Addition, from the General Commercial (C-
3) zoning district to the Two -Family (TF) zoning district, for the property generally located at
515 W. 8th Street (2021-20-REZ). Britin Bostick, Downtown & Historic Planner
Staff report by Bostick. The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from the
current General Commercial (C-3) zoning district to the Two -Family (TF) zoning district so that
the property might be used in the future as a duplex residence. The property owner is not able
to expand the residential structure with a residential use given the current zoning. The subject
property is located on the southwest corner of the block directly north of City Hall and
northwest of the Georgetown Public Library. The subject property is located on the southwest
corner of an easterly block of the neighborhood known as the Track -Ridge -Grasshopper or TRG
neighborhood. It faces City Hall and E. 8th Street, which transitions the primarily Mixed -Use
Downtown (MU-DT) zoning of the Downtown Overlay District to the primarily Residential
Single -Family (RS) zoning of the TRG neighborhood. The TRG neighborhood underwent an
urban renewal project in the 1960s and 1970s that resulted in a large portion of the existing
neighborhood structures being replaced by single-family homes constructed of similar sizes,
styles, and materials. Surrounding properties include single-family residential structures and
uses, a small church to the north, and the City Hall campus to the south and east. The TRG
neighborhood is currently undergoing a Small Area Planning process, which includes
recognition of the historic and cultural assets of the neighborhood, review of land use and
transportation plans that affect the neighborhood, and stakeholder engagement regarding
future goals and strategies for the neighborhood.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the Public Hearing as no one signed up to speak.
Motion to approve Item X (2021-20-REZ) by Commissioner Warren. Second by Commissioner
Haynie. Approved 5-0.

Avenue, bearing the legal description of Lot 1 of First Baptist Church Georgetown
Subdivision, 2.973 acres out of the J. Thompson Survey, and 9.96 acres out of the C. Stubblefield
Survey (2021-7-WAV). - Ryan Clark, Planner
Staff report by Munk. According to UDC 13.02.020. the platting of the First Baptist Church
