Legislative Regular Agenda
BP Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone Lot 5B,
Block B, Replat of Lot 513, Block B, The Rivery Phase One Subdivision from the Local Commercial (C-1)
zoning district to the General Commercial (C-3) zoning district, for the property generally located at 708
South Interstate Highway 35 (2022-6-REZ). Cesar Acosta, Senior Planner
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 11 of 21
August 16, 2022
Cesar Acosta presented the staff report and established that the applicant tis seeking a zoning map
amendment to rezone their property from Local Commercial (C-1) zoning to the General Commercial (C-
3) zoning in order to allow for a broader range of uses permitted under C-3 zoning. Cesar discussed the
future land use and overall transportation plan for the regional center, as well the location of the
property in relation to the Comprehensive Plan, noting that it is adjacent to the IH-35 freeway, which is
considered a Highway Corridor in the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Cesar discussed the Gateway
Overlay/Highway Corridor design guidelines, noting that land use along Highway Corridors is intended to
be Commercial, retail or mixed -use in order to capitalize on highway visibility, and streetscaping should
be auto oriented with enhanced landscaping near intersections. Sidewalks between the frontage road
and buildings is appropriate. Cesar elaborated on the zoning guidelines for C-3, noting that the subject
property is within the Regional Center future land use, where the primary uses supported are large scale
commercial and retail developments, which are supported in the C-3 zoning district. All of the properties
adjacent to the subject property are also zoned C-3, including a portion of the subject property itself.
Thus, the proposed change is compatible with the existing zoning and uses in the surrounding area. The
property is large enough to support the uses allowed in the C-3 zoning district and the site is already
connected to city water, electric and wastewater services.
Cesar reviewed the approval criteria, noting that staff reviewed the proposed rezoning request and has
found that it complies with 5 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a Zoning Map
Amendment. Cesar also noted that as required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners
and registered neighborhood associations within a 300-foot radius of the subject property were notified
of the Zoning Map Amendment request (10 notices), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was
placed in the Sun Newspaper on Sunday July 31, 2022 and one sign were posted on -site. To date, staff
has received 0 written comments in favor, and 0 in opposition to the request (Exhibit 6).
Applicant is present to answer any questions.
Chair Perthuis asked if the rezoningtriggered sidewalk requirements? Would it be on the site plan?
Baird confirmed yes.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to Commissioners to discuss or ask questions.

Motion by Commissioner Dickey to approve Item BP as presented. Second by Commissioner Stanley.
Motion approved unanimously (6-0).
BQ Consideration and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone
approximately 42.172 acres out of the David Wright Survey Abstract No. 13 from the Agriculture (AG),
zoning district to a Planned Unit Development District (PUD) zoning district, for the property generally
located at 3001 IH-35 (2022-1-PUD )-Travis Baird-Asst. Planning Director
Travis Baird presented the staff report and established that the applicant is seeking to acquire Planned
Unit Development (PUD) zoning of the subject property, which may deviate in some significant areas,
including uses allowed per district, design standards, and landscaping/dimensional/site standards. Spoke
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 12 of 21

to the location of the property, surrounding physical and natural features, the surrounding properties,
the history of the property, and to the changes to Aviation drive as compared to the future land use
zoning. Baird discussed Land use ratios and existing zoning of the area, as well as the City's future land
use and overall transportation plan. Baird explained that the Business Park (BP) zoning district is
intended to provide a location for office, research, and light industrial uses typically located as part of a
large development, and the BP District may be appropriate adjacent to residential areas, provided that
there is adequate buffering and pedestrian and vehicular access to the residential area for workers in
the business park. The BP District typically has more traffic than in an office area, but fewer heavy
vehicles than in an industrial area, and is a special purpose district because it has a minimum size
acreage for limited complementary uses that may expand with the size of the park. Larger parks often
include commercial activities such as restaurants, banks, day care and similar uses that are intended to
serve the on -site community and may include some limited high -density residential. Typical uses
permitted in this zoning district include medical complex, data center, limited contractor services,
research and testing, and limited manufacturing uses. Other uses may be approved subject to additional
site design standards such as hotels, fitness centers, general retail and restaurants. Uses such as fuel
sales and car wash require approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) by the City Council. 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). Baird
explained that the PUD proposal included significant changes to allowed uses within each of these
zoning districts, primarily the expansion of uses allowed. For Business Park (BP), the changes include the
expansion of commercial uses, as well as industrial uses. In C-3, there is expansion of the residential
types allowed, to include attached multi -family, and the allowance of certain other uses, or removal of
restrictions. Fuel services and carwashes would be allowed though limited to one station within the PUD
area.
Baird reviewed the approval criteria and established that staff has reviewed the request in accordance
with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has determined that the
proposed request Complies with 4, Partially Complies with 3, and Does Not Comply 4 of the 11 the
criteria established in UDC Sections 3.06.030 & 3.06.040 for Planned Unit Development application.
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners and registered neighborhood
associations within a 300-foot radius of the subject property were notified of the Zoning Map
Amendment request (7 notices), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (July 3, 2022) and signs were posted on -site. To date, staff has received 0 written comments
in favor, and 0 in opposition to the request. Baird clarified that the item had been postponed from their
late June meeting.
Applicant is here to answer questions and wishes to address the Commission.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to questions or comments from the Commission.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 13 of 21
August 16, 2022
Commissioner Dickey clarified that zoning of the future Georgetown Ready Learning Center was now
zoned as PF? Baird confirmed yes, the map just had not been updated.
Commissioner Stanley asked about PUD unique conditions, and if the city staff was able to identify any
unique features? Baird said that if there is a unique physical feature on the property that could create
some exceptional development issues that could not be solved through the variance path, the PUD
offers opportunity for that to be resolved. The other unique condition is for exceptional type
development. Commissioner Stanley asked if City staff was able to identify either of those conditions on
this property? Baird said that given the criteria, there is opportunity for it, but it has not been identified
as the PUD is proposed now.
Commissioner Tiland asked if the north-east portion was zoned as MF, and if that is part of the PUD
proposal? Baird clarified that that portion would not be zoned as MF, but C-3 instead. There is
opportunity for that 6 %2 acres to develop with commercial use and would then meet the full intent of
the Comprehensive Plan. This PUD changes the use table of C-3 to allow multifamily attached. Baird
clarified that this could only happen north of Sanaloma.
The applicant, Sal Perdomo, Titan Development, approached the podium to address the Commission. Sal
voiced his appreciation for the partnership between the City of Georgetown and Titan Development and
established that they had modeled this PUD's standards off the Gateway site across the street
Georgetown code does poor job of outlining industrial use standards. Spoke to the location of the
project, noting that there is adjacency to Berry Springs Park and Nature Preserve, proximity to IH-35 and
130, proximity to industrial. Perdomo went over the Concept Site Plan, including potential elements
within the development such as retail, neighborhood commercial, medical office, hospitality, multi-
family, light industrial, residential, etc. Perdomo spoke to the light industrial uses allowed within the
PUD and clarified that it would be different from previous Titan Development projects in town. The
limited depth of site only allows for smaller, shallower bays with the potential for larger office spaces,
and the site is designed so that the dock doors face the industrial uses to the west, not the interstate.
Perdomo discussed the Regional Center designation (page 5 staff report) and reiterated that the uses
allowed in the Comprehensive Plan are what is intended for the PUD. Perdomo noted that access from
the north is very early (about a mile and a half North of the site), and they would like to develop retail,
but tenants have not indicated this is a good retail site. As a result, they have pivoted to allow for more
office industrial uses to bring into multi -family and make the site more mixed -use. Perdomo outlined
items in relation to intended multi -family use, including restricting housing to the North end of the site
near the park, restricting the size of multi -family uses to 3-4 acres due to floodplain and grading issues,
promoting walkability throughout the project, and urban style housing designs. Perdomo concluded by
displaying renderings of the project as well as past Titan Development jobs and spoke to their role in
alleviating rising unaffordability in Austin.
Chair Perthuis asked what the reasoning behind the request to include car wash/fuel sale without a SUP
was? Perdomo explained that the location is appropriate for fuel sales due to the amount of truck traffic
along Aviation and access to exit 130 and IH-35. They could take or leave the car wash; it is not
completely necessary. Chair Perthuis asked why they are taking out the requirement for SUP? The City
has worked to get fuel sales as SUP. Perdomo inquired as to the purpose of the City pushing SUPS?
Perthuis clarified that it gives the City another layer of review (tool to determine where they will be
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 14 of 21
August 16, 2022
located on a specific basis). Perdomo said that he was fine with approval with conditions to change the
limitation allowed on the site for the fuel sales and car wash.
Chair Perthuis asked why not zone the property MF-2? Perdomo said there is no actual reason, they just
were not getting the demand they were hoping for, so the project went down a different road. They
would also be fine with rezoning the multifamily piece north of Sanaloma to multi -family instead of C-3.
Chair Perthuis asked for clarification on why they are focused on walkability between retail and multi-
family when there has been no demand for retail. Is the idea that the multi -family can drive some retail
users there? Perdomo said resident connectivity to retail pads (restaurants, fast food, and QSR) is more
the focus, as big box retailers have not shown much interest. Perdomo also clarified the difference
between big box and retail pads interest; they are not seeing much interest from big -box retailers due to
the access point to the north, but they are seeing retail pad user interest. It may not fill up in a year but
there is more interest there.
Commissioner Dickey asked where Sienna Peak Drive is located on the Concept Map. Perdomo said that
it is anticipated to go along the back of the site along the power lines and noted that several concept
plans have had it running through the middle of the project to buffer the potential light industrial uses
from the retail pads. Commissioner Dickey clarified that the current alignment has Sienna Drive at the
back of the site? Perdomo confirmed, yes.
Baird approached the podium to provide some clarification on the location of Sienna Peak Dr. because it
is not included on the PUD. One of the requirements would be the setbacks we have and how that
relates to the loading docks, so the PUD may change because it currently shows it in a different
alignment tonight. Perdomo said they understand that there may be amendments to the PUD and OTP
due to the early conceptual stage the project is in.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers coming forward to speak.
Motion by Chair Perthuis to deny as presented. Second by Commissioner Stanley.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to the Commissioners for discussion.
Chair Perthuis suggested that they could go to City Council and hash it out, as they have final say. SUP is
an issue.
Commissioner Dickey asked if we will see a lot of PUDs asking to waive the SUP requirement? Shouldn't
PUD be a one -stop shop? Baird clarified that a PUD is to provide certain development standards to
target. If they are looking to include that, then they could potentially remove the SUP requirement, but
that does not mean every developer would. A PUD is not necessarily supposed to be the tool that gives
ultimate flexibility, but instead create a concept of how the area will develop clearly.
Commissioner Haynie asked if City Council would need a super majority if we deny? Baird said yes, if this
Commission chooses to deny this item, it would require a super majority at Council to be approved.
Chair Perthuis remarked that he does not think the item is approvable as presented. Commissioner
Haynie agreed. Chair Perthuis said they are not far off, and it may be something they could get sorted
out at the Council level. Commissioner Haynie asked if that is putting a burden on them (re: requiring
super -majority)?
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 15 of 21
August 16, 2022
Perdomo asked if the Commission could approve with conditions to change Limited use to SUP for fuel
sales and car wash and update that before going to Council? Chair Perthuis asked if we could
conditionally approve a PUD? Baird said the applicant would have the opportunity to make that
alteration. Unsure of the function if the change was not made between now and the time of the Council
meeting. The Item before you is for approval as presented.
Sofia Nelson approached the podium and clarified that they can include a condition for a SUP to allow
fuel station in their recommendation to Council if that is their only issue with the PUD. If they would like
to see other alterations, then those conditions would need to be re -noticed and come back at a later
date for consideration.
Commissioner Stanley remarked that he is not sold on walkability or the county's actions on apartment
complexes, or intersection/north exit on interstate. This is a primed C-3 spot and he will not approve
with a gas station.
Commissioner Dickey asked if it is an option to table it? Chair Perthuis remarked that he does not see
this having an issue getting resolved at Council.
Baird clarified that this is not a shot -clock item, and failure to act does not mean automatic approval. IF
the applicant would like to table the item, they could do so, but tabling it from the dais may not achieve
the desired effect.
Chair Perthuis remarked that some multi -family projects they have recommended approval for have
gone a different way at Council, so this item may just be something they need to sort out at that level.
Perdomo approached the podium and established that they prefer to table it, work through the items,
and come back to the Commission later so as not to push it through unnecessarily. Perdomo asked what
the other items were that he does not like? Chair Perthuis said it was the multi -family portion and
targeted uses vs what is allowed; if you are not going after heavier industrial uses, then those do not
need to be allowed by right, or they could include a SUP. His concern is that it is approved and then
there is heavy industrial use next to retail or MF-2; not necessarily targeted, but it could happen down
the road. Most issues had to do with more intense uses included. Perdomo said they can probably
amend some of those uses. Chair Perthuis clarified that including a SUP for some of the heavier uses
triggers notice requirements and gives people a chance to come to a meeting and talk
through/understand the requested use in their area. Baird said that staff can work together with the
applicant to make those adjustments.
Commissioner Stanley remarked that he appreciated Baird comparing UDC to PUD in the staff
presentation. Baird gave credit to Titan for providing that in a helpful format.
Chair Perthuis said that it might be helpful to provide a clear site plan on where road alignment is to
determine spacing and setback requirements, as well as landscape buffers and road locations.
Motion Withdrawn by Chair Perthuis.
Motion to postpone Item BQ as presented by Commissioner Dickey.
Chair Perthuis asked the Applicant to approach the podium to request postponement of Item BQ to a

BR Public Hearing and possible action on a Subdivision Variance from the requirement to extend
public wastewater to an adjacent property pursuant to Section 13.02.020 of the Unified Development
Code, for the property located at 610 Blue Springs Blvd, bearing the legal description of Lot 1, Block A of
Blue Springs Business Park (2022-25-WAV) - Mayra Cantu, Strategic Support Manager and Grant White,
Planner
Mayra Cantu presented the staff report and established that the applicant is requesting a subdivision
variance from the requirement to extend public wastewater along Blue Springs Blvd and Blue Ridge Dr
pursuant and instead connect to an existing line. She established that if this were approved, it would
require a lift station, which is something that the City does not recommend in their wastewater system
and tries to avoid. Cantu reviewed the property location along the southeast corner of SE Inner Loop
and Blue Springs Blvd and spoke to the surrounding properties, Future Land Use designation, existing
uses of the adjacent properties, and the property's history. Cantu spoke to the unique elevation of the
site, surrounding wastewater connections that were possible due to similar elevations, and the county's
neighboring ETJ property.
Cantu reviewed the approval criteria and established that staff found that the variance request meets 0
out of the 5 criteria and does not recommend approval of the request given our codes strong preference
for a gravity system that would properly serve this area and those around it.
Cantu confirmed that as required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 300-
foot radius of the subject property were notified of the Subdivision Variance request (10 notices), a legal
notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper July 31, 2022 and signs were
posted on -site. To date, staff has received 0 written comments in favor, and 0 in opposition to the
request.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor for Commissioner questions.
Applicant is here and wishes to address the Commission.
Amil Nike, Drenner Group representing Molto (Owner and Developer), approached the podium to
address the Commission and spoke to the location of the property and the three industrial warehouse
buildings proposed, as well as the city's avoidance of siphons and lift stations. Nike displayed a map of
the contours/elevations, existing water lines, surroundings of the property, and the adjacent ETJ
property owned by the county. Nike analyzed the proposed wastewater line itself: the line would be
about 2200 linear feet; depth would be at about 20 ft and would require construction on the roadway.
Nike reviewed other options, including an existing line to the west, and reviewed the Williamson County
Facility Master Plan as well as the Trails Master Plan, which shows a future trail through county owned
property adjacent to floodplain/natural channel. Nike said that based on their initial engineering
information (barring unforeseen circumstances), servicing the blue property would not require a lift
station, but instead could be done on a gravity line. Nike spoke to unnecessary hardship if required to
construct a new wastewater line, and reiterated that the request is that the City not require the gravity
system along Blue Springs Blvd, but rather allow wastewater to the property through connection to an
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 17 of 21
August 16, 2022
existing line to the west, which is still a gravity system. If variance is approved, subdivision of the land is
still possible.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor for questions from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Stanley inquired about the 85% of the county property not serviced by the drain line.
Nike stated that they do not know the county's intention for the land. Commissioner Stanley questioned
the relevance of the county's plan for the land; Isn't that why you have to carry the wastewater line
through - because you are not sure if Williamson County is going to turn around and sell the land to a
developer? Nike argued that any development trying to connect to the system would need to be
pumped. Chair Perthuis established that the Williamson County property is not the subject of the
application and the conversation is getting off track. Nike (answering Commissioner Stanley's question)
said that assuming there is a building on the Williamson County property, they would have access to the
line with this system.
Commissioner Haynie asked for clarification on manhole and contour lines, and asked staff if the south
side of the property was looked at to bring a line to the County property along the low point? Staff
discussed the location of connection to wastewater line, referencing the map of the property to do so.
Emily Mahony, Civil Engineer with Langan Engineering and Environmental Services approached the
podium to answer Commissioner Haynie's question. She discussed looking at alternative options,
including acquiring an easement from Rock Springs Hospital's property, but there is existing
infrastructure, several heritage trees, and issues with depth and wet basins that limit that option.
Mahoney clarified that the extension discussed to the west of the subject property would not provide
service to their site and they are not proposing lift station service to their site. All neighboring properties
besides the Williamson County owned property have existing wastewater service.
Chair Perthuis requested clarification from staff if other options were reviewed since this application
meets none of the approval criteria. Lua Saluone said that the applicant looked at service to the east,
but he is not sure what other options were explored. He does not dispute the applicant's claim of
exploring other options around the property. Chair Perthuis asked for further clarification on why they
are going down Blue Ridge Drive. Cantu established that the code requires that the sides of the property
need an extension of service so that additional properties are not cut off from wastewater. Lua clarified
that the reason for the extension along Blue Springs Ridge is the cul-de-sac and the frontage along that
road. Chair Perthuis asked if they bring the line down Blue Springs Blvd and Rd, would that serve all the
properties we are examining? Lua said yes, there is spot on the far east side that might be cut off, but
there is no land plan for that site. Nike commented that construction of any line in the area would still
require a 20 ft deep manhole in that location, adding more infrastructure to get service to the property.
Lua established that they are okay with 20-foot manholes, potentially up to 60 feet. Digging deeper is a
risk, but he would not deny 20 ft with appropriate construction methods.
Cantu commented that this requires a supermajority of the Commission in order to approve.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers coming forward.
Motion by Commissioner Dickey to deny as presented based on the fact that the granting of this
variance would be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to other property in
the area, that it would substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, that the conditions that
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 18 of 21
August 16, 2022
create the need for the variance would generally apply to other property in the vicinity, that the
application for this provision will render subdivision of the land impossible, that it would render it
impossible to divide where the literal enforcement of these regulations does not result in any
unnecessary hardship. Second by Chair Perthuis.
Chair Perthuis commented that he cannot see an unnecessary hardship that is not a financial one, which
is not means for approval.
Motion approved unanimously (6-0).
BS Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for the Fuel Sales
Use in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district on the property located at 1910 NE Inner Loop, bearing
the legal description of Lot 2, Amended Plat of Katy School Subdivision (2022-6-SUP). Ryan Clark,
Planner II
Ryan Clark presented the Staff Report and established that the applicant is requesting Fuel Sales with an
accessory one -bay automatic car wash in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district at 1910 Northeast
Inner Loop. Their Letter of Intent states that they intend to use the property for 35,200 square feet of
retail across four buildings in addition to the fuel sales and on -bay car wash. It is currently undetermined
when these retail uses will be developed in relation to the fuel sales. Clark spoke to the location and
Future Land Use and Zoning Designations, as well as the surrounding properties and restrictions for the
current zoning of the property. Clark reviewed the Gateways and Image Corridor design standards,
including land use and building design as well as streetscape standards, the Comprehensive Plan
Guidance for Mixed Density Neighborhoods (MDN) and Community Centers (CC), and other Master
Plans including Scenic Corridors and the Master Trail Plan.
Clark said that staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC)
and other applicable codes and determined that the proposed request complies with 3 and partially
complies with 1 of the 4 criteria established in UDC Section 3.07.030.0 for a Special Use Permit and
complies with 2 and partially complies with 3 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a
Zoning Map Amendment.
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners and registered neighborhood
associations within a 300-foot radius of the subject property were notified of the Special Use Permit
request (10 notices), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper
(Sunday, July 31, 2022) and signs were posted on -site. To date, staff has received 1 written comment in
favor, 1 neither in favor or opposition, and 0 in opposition to the request.
Clark concluded the staff report by noting that if approved, staff recommends placing the following
conditions on the request: 1) that the proposed retail buildings as shown on the conceptual plan shall be
included in the same Site Development Plan Application as the Fuel Sales, 2) that the Conceptual Plan
shall be revised to locate the convenience store adjacent to the ROW so that the fuel sales canopy and
parking are not between the ROW and the convenience store.
Applicant Jim Whittliff is present to answer questions from the Commission.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor for questions or discussion from Commissioners.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 19 of 21
August 16, 2022
Commissioner Dickey clarified on the last condition and asked if the retail and fuel sale building
locations be flipped? Clark confirmed yes, in order to place the convenience store along the scenic
corridor in order to orient the buildings towards the street. Commissioner Haynie asked if flipped, would
you see the trash from the street? Clark replied that code requires trash to be on the backside of the
building, but the end design may end up having the functional back of the building be on the side, but he
defers to the Commission's judgement. The buildings would still need to meet architectural
requirements looking out FM 971.
Chair Perthuis referred to the approval criteria in reference to the site's proximity to intersections and
asked if there were any applications for that? Clark replied that there is not an exit to 130 right there,
and traffic flow would likely be coming through FM 971 Inner Loop to the ramp onto 130. We will likely
see an application at the intersection of 130 and 971 (NE side) in the future.
Chair Perthuis asked the applicant if they have a fuel service user identified for the property? Whittliff
confirmed, yes. Chair Perthuis asked if retail space users have been identified? Whittliff said no. Chair
Perthuis asked about a timeline for those spaces? Whittliff replied that they are only requesting a SUP
for the gas station but are not up to date on the rest of the development. The owner plans to market
and lease the land to someone in the future.
Whittliff commented that Clark's suggestion of flipping the location of the gas station and retail space
was new to him, and would've liked to have heard this suggestion as it had been a long while since they
had submitted the application to the City. Whittliff complemented City staffs comprehensive analysis
but argued that the convenience store and fuel sale stations are symbiotic, and he does not believe that
they can work if flipped as suggested. He asked the Commission to not include the flipping of the
convenience store and fuel sales as a condition of their approval of the item.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Scott Strance, 111 Parque Vista Dr. approached the podium to address the Commission. Laura Smith,
334 Avalanche Ave. ceded her time to Scott. Strance commended the City staff on their review of the
SUP and elaborated on their comments regarding the orientation of the buildings along the Scenic
Corridor and noted that the P&Z Commission has an opportunity to maintain these corridors. Strance
spoke to the back area of properties and how their presentation is not in line with scenic corridor
guidelines, and he voiced his concern with the view from FM 971 towards the backs of the buildings.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.
Motion to recommend approval of Item BS with the condition that the proposed retail buildings as
shown on the conceptual plan shall be included in the same Site Development Plan Application as the
Fuel Sales by Commissioner Dickey. Second by Commissioner Haynie.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to Commissioners for discussion.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 20 of 21
August 16, 2022
Chair Perthuis clarified that the SUP is just for the ability to build a gas station on the site. The
orientation and positioning of buildings would become a concern when a Site Development Plan is
applied for and heard by the Commission.
Chair Perthuis commented that he thinks there should be a recommendation that some retail be built
out before the gas station, perhaps 25%? Can we condition that on an SDP? Baird replied that upon
guidance from the legal department, we cannot successfully enforce a requirement to build some
buildings before others without structuring the applicant's phasing plan. Chair Perthuis asked what the
vehicle is to get there? Baird said the best way we could enforce that would be through phasing the site
plan. The investment it requires, as well as engineering and infrastructure planning typically cannot be
left behind. Not sure of another way to enforce building retail before fuel sales.
Motion approved (4-2, Perthuis and Stanley opposed)
