Ms. Valerie Kreger, Planner III
City of Georgetown Planning and Development Department
300 Industrial Avenue
Georgetown Texas 78626
Dear Ms. Kreger:
Please accept this submittal packet as a formal request for consideration of a
Comprehensive Plan amendment to adjust the intensity level proposed in the Century
Plan for approximately 54.76 acres located at the northeast corner of CR 111
(Westinghouse Road) and FM 1460 generally referred to as the 1A7 eler Tract. A Pre -
Application Conference to discuss the requested plan and zoning amendments was held
with City staff on June 20, 2007.
The current Land Use Intensity Map proposes approximately 29.9 acres of Intensity
Level 3, approximately 13 acres of Intensity Level 4, and approximately 11.8 acres of
Intensity Level 5. The current Future Land Use Plan proposes mixed-use at this location
with commercial use at the corner, surrounded by mixed -uses, and residential use furthest
from the corner. Concurrent with this application, an application for a zoning change has
been submitted requesting a change in zoning from AG (Agriculture) District to C-3
(General Commercial) District, C-1 (Local Commercial) District, and MF (Multifamily)
District.
The applicant proposes mixed-use development for this site, and it is anticipated that the
site could accommodate 464 multifamily residential units, 273 mixed-use (residential
over retail units), and 200,000 square feet of retail use. Although the proposed use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan with respect to land use, roadway, and water
impact, an adjustment to the City's planned development intensity for this site is required
in order to accommodate the anticipated wastewater demand of the proposed
development.
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Intensity Map to reflect approximately
18.8 acres of Intensity Leve14 at the interior of the site surrounded by approximately
35.9 acres of Intensity Level 5 along the existing transportation thoroughfares. The land
use intensities being requested are more consistent with the City's Future Land Use Map
and will facilitate development of a mixed-use project at this location.
