2.A 2022-10-ANX, GT Berry Springs, South line of CR 152 west of Tom McDaniel
and the Berry Creek
Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment
to zone, upon annexation a 101.24 acre tract out of the John Berry Survey
Abstract No. 51, to the Residential Single Family (RS) zoning district and the
Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zoning district, for the property generally
located south of CR 152 and west of Tom McDaniel (2022-10-ANX).Cesar
Acosta, Neighborhood & Housing Program Manager
Cesar Acosta presented the staff report.
Tyler Freese, Applicant and Civil Engineer, approached the podium to address the
Commission and spoke to the location of the project, noting that they included
neighborhood services to the plan in order to add to the Neighborhood Future Land
Use Plan designation, and he provided a rendering of the proposed project. The
adjacent neighborhood residents will have access to the trail in the floodplain, although
acreage in the floodplain is not counted towards parkland dedication per City
ordinance. Freese spoke to the approval criteria in the staff report, especially items
three and four, and their difficulty in complying with both criteria. Freese spoke to the
timeline of their project and noted that in their original plan had 260 lots, but has been
reduced down to 160 lots to lessen density in the area.
Commissioner Noble asked how many acres are planned for the neighborhood
commercial. Freese established that it will be 5-6 acres to make the plan consistent with
the Future Land Use Plan, but will not be developed for a while.
Commissioner Dickey asked what the open spot in the annexation property represents.
Acosta explained that those parcels are not owned by the applicant of this annexation
case.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Will Viney, 1306 CR 152, approached the podium to address the Commission and spoke
to the poor conditions of CR 152, and potential safety hazards should there be more
density added to the surrounding area. Viney also noted that there were very little
changes made to the plan after residents met with the developer, and voiced his
concern with growing development in Georgetown. Viney is in opposition to this
project.
Teresa Person, 2615 CR 152, approached the podium to address the Commission.
Maurine Janke, 2520 CR 152, ceded her time to Person. Person pointed out that there
are several residents of the surrounding neighborhood present at the meeting who are
in opposition of this request and reiterated Will Viney's earlier comments that CR 152 is
not in good condition. There are narrow lanes, drop-offs, potholes, and sharp turns,
and Person believes this road could not safely support the increased number of trips
that this development would bring to the area. If there are improvements proposed for
CR 152, she would like it to be improved throughout the entire road, notjust the
portion in front of the development.
Ralph Poyo, 1925 CR 152, approached the podium to address the Commission and
requested improvements on the entirety of CR 152, as well as transparency throughout
that process. Poyo commented that no real concessions were made at the meeting held
between neighborhood residents and the developer, and he is concerned about road
safety, as well as wild animal and water impacts.
James Wilson, 2131 CR 152, approached the podium to address the Commission and
spoke to his time in the construction industry and the worsening conditions of CR 152.
Wilson requested more consideration for the existing residents of the area, especially
in regards to increased runoff and potential flooding due to increased impervious
coverage. Wilson is also concerned with increased traffic on CR 152,
Kamala Greif, 2250 CR 152, approached the podium to address the Commission and
expressed concern about a Public Information Request response she received that had
an abundance of redacted information. Greif is also concerned by the plans presented
tonight, especially when it is described as minimally disruptive. Greif's home borders
the proposed development and foresees significant disruption to her property should
this proposal be approved.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Allen asked why criteria 4 on the staff report is partially compliant.
Acosta explained that the proposed use of the property is compatible, but the intensity
of the residential lots is what makes it partially compliant.
Chair Perthuis asked if there are any improvements planned for CR 152. Acosta
established there are no planned improvements for CR 152.
Chair Perthuis asked if there is a point where the City of Georgetown takes over the
maintenance of CR 152. Acosta explained that it is dependent on the cost to service and
whether that is required by the County.
Commissioner Dickey asked if there is a projected date that the interceptor would be
available for sewage on the site since there is no wastewater on the site as of now.
Acosta established that it is a budgeted item. David Munk approached the podium to
address the Commission and explained that it will take 18-24 months to build.

0333 acres, being Lots 6, 7, & 8, Block 38, City of Georgetown (2022-12-SUP) --
Maddison O'Kelley, Preservation and Redevelopment Manager
Maddison O'Kelley presented the staff report. The applicant is present to answer any
Commissioner questions but does not have a presentation.
Commissioner Allen requested clarification on if this Special Use Permit is a request for
modified zoning. Chair Perthuis explained that this process was put in place to allow for
mobile food vendors to operate in areas not zoned for that use. Commissioner Allen
asked if vendors have to go through the established application process with the City in
order to operate there. O'Kelley confirmed, yes.
Commissioner Dickey asked what the operating hours would be. Josh Barron, JB
Engineering, approached the podium to address the Commission and explained that
they have not discussed operating hours, but assured the Commission that they will be
compliant with noise regulations. Barron also established that they intend to utilize the
building already on the property.
Commissioner Dickey asked if there will be alcohol sales. Barron confirmed that they
are planning on having alcohol sales.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Larry Brundidge, 908 Pine St., approached the podium to address the Commission and
commented that he is opposed to the sale of alcohol at this property. Brundidge voiced
concern regarding the management of the property once a special use permit has been
approved and requested a limited term to the SUP.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.
Moved by Doug Noble; seconded by Timothy E Haynie to Approve Item 2.B as presented.

Nicholas Porter Survey Abstract No. 497, (2022-13-SUP) Cesar Acosta, Neighborhood &
Housing Program Manager
Cesar Acosta presented the staff report. The applicant is present to answer
Commissioner questions but does not have a presentation.
Commissioner Dickey asked if Morrow Street is a dead end. Acosta confirmed, yes.
Commissioner Dickey asked for clarification on the parking count. Anthony Garrant,
Applicant, approached the podium to address the Commission and explained that
there were some calculation errors that will need to be addressed before City Council
hears the item. Garrant also noted that they moved their parking to salvage the
heritage tree in the southern corner of the property.
Commissioner Haynie asked what the underlying zoning designation will be. Acosta
explained that the property will remain a C-3 general commercial zoning district.
Commissioner Haynie asked how parking requirements are determined. Acosta
established that the UDC Section 9.02 establishes parking space requirements by unit.
Chair Perthuis opened the public hearing.
Jen Bradac, 106 E. Spring St., approached the podium to address the Commission and
commented that she appreciated the applicant's letter of intent in which the history of
the property and house are laid out, and she would like to inquire about adding a
heritage home marker to the house on the property. Bradac also commented that she
would like the heritage tree and courthouse view corridors preserved.
Chair Perthuis closed the public hearing.

2.D 2022-10-REZ, KB Homes Wicker, 2800 Westinghouse Road
Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to
rezone approximately 61 acres out of the J. Mott Survey, Abstract No. 427 from the
Agriculture (AG) zoning district to the Residential Single-family (RS) zoning district, for
the property generally located at 2800 Westinghouse Rd, (2022-10-REZ). Grant White,
Planner
Grant White presented the staff report. The applicant is present and wishes to address
the Commission.
Chair Perthuis asked if there is a ROW for the neighboring residential PUD to the west
of the subject property. White confirmed, yes.
Commissioner Dickey asked if the PUD is included in the land use ratio numbers on
slide 12 of the staff presentation. White explained that half of the PUD is in the
community center and not counted, but the other half is present in the ratio numbers.
Commissioner Dickey asked if the Commission will see this project again at its site
development plan application. White explained that there won't be a site development
plan for this project since it's not commercial, but they would be required to apply for a
preliminary plat.
Geoff Guerrero and John Zinsmeyer approached the podium to address the
Commission. Zinsmeyer spoke to other residential projects they have completed in
Georgetown, as well as the timeline of their application process with the city for this
particular project. Zinsmeyer expressed concern with comments received after
submittal of their application in which staff pointed out an abundance of residential
zoning in the surrounding area and suggested the applicant consider adding CN or OF
access on the frontage of Westinghouse Road. After considering the comments and
seeing additional RS zoning approved in the neighboring property's PUD, they did not
think it appropriate to have residential zoning between commercial zones, and they did
not add commercial area to their application. Zinsmeyer explained that the subject
property and the neighboring junction at 1460 property are being sold by two different
family members, and KB Homes is attempting to create cohesion between the two
properties in regards to drainage and the trail system. Zinsmeyer spoke to the variety
of home products they have available, and asked that if the Commission does not
support this project that they approve it conditionally or request postponement.
Chair Perthuis explained that the applicant would need to request postponement, and
a zoning request cannot be conditionally approved.
Commissioner Haynie asked if RS is the desired zoning. Zinsmeyer confirmed, yes.
Chair Perthuis asked if there is a mechanism for fixing the setback issue. White
established that the setback would not be able to be changed with the rezone. Travis
Baird approached the podium to address the Commission and established that in order
to create something that is conditional and enforceable, they would need to develop a
PUD. KB Homes has the opportunity to develop to a higher standard should the rezone
be approved, but staff's analysis is based on the requirements in the UDC for their
zoning request.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers coming forth.
Moved by Travis Perthuis; seconded by Stephen F Dickey to Approve Item 2.D as
presented.

2.E UDC Executive Text Amendment No. 22-XX
Public Hearing and possible action on a proposed Executive Text Amendment to
Chapters 3 and 4 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) relating to the Courthouse
View Protection Overlay District specifically as it pertains to establish a waiver process
for the Courthouse view protection requirements established within the district --
Maddison O'Kelley, Preservation and Redevelopment Manager
Maddison O'Kelley presented the staff report.
Chair Perthuis requested clarification on the purpose of the amendment as it relates to
the construction of a parking garage in the Courthouse View Corridor. Sofia Nelson
established that this amendment is proposed so that the City can request a waiver to
the view corridor and build taller than what is allowed right now. The City has seen
several other requests for increased building height in the view corridor, so this creates
a process that would go before City Council to determine if it meets the criteria
proposed before them. Nelson also established that the approval of these requests
would require a 3/4 vote, and the approval criteria has been carefully crafted to be
supportive of comprehensive plan implementation steps.
Commissioner Allen asked if there is a legal difference between waivers, exceptions,
and variances. Nelson explained that those terms are not interchangeable, and Council,
as well as the City's legal team, has determined a need for this waiver process, separate
from an administrative exception or variance.
Chair Perthuis opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers coming forth.
