Development
A. Purpose and Intent
The Estrella Mixed Use PUD is composed of approximately 15 acres, as described in
Exhibit B (Legal Description). The development of this property is planned as a high
quality, mixed use center with a blend of retail, office and residential opportunities. A
development plan has been attached to this PUD, Exhibit C, to illustrate the design
intent for the property. The development plan is conceptual and depicts residential
townhomes or condos on the eastern half of the property and a mix of professional office
and retail on the western portion. The proposed buildings will be composed of a mix of
one and two story buildings with retail uses facing William's Drive and professional
office users located behind the retail.
The office and retail buildings have been configured to define a central pedestrian
corridor and plaza space, which will act as an amenity for future employees, residents
and visitors. The central pedestrian corridor has been aligned with the entry to the
residential portion of the development to encourage walking and the potential for a
"live/work" relationship.
Be Applicability and Base Zoning
All aspects regarding the development of this PUD shall comply with the 2006 version
of the Georgetown Unified Development Code, except as established in this exhibit,
titled Exhibit A. Unless modified within this PUD document, the development
standards defined for the zoning category C-1 shall apply. In the event of a conflict
between this PUD and the base zoning of C-1 defined in the 2006 Unified Development
Code, this PUD shall control.
CO Site Plan
Implementation of this PUD development plan will be reviewed pursuant to a site plan
as required by UDC Section 3.09. Said site plan will graphically depict compliance with
all development standards of this PUD, as well as the underlying C-1 zoning district,
including landscaping as required pursuant to UDC Chapter 8 ("Landscaping and
Buffering") .

D. Conceptual Development Plan
Exhibit C attached is a conceptual development plan intended to visually convey the
design intent for the Estrella site. The final building and parking configurations are not
final, and are subject to refinement at the site planning stage. This PUD zoning
document does not constitute site plan approval of the attached plan.
The development plan has been designed to allow a mix of uses from retail and office to
residential townhomes and condominiums. The intent of the plan is to create a central
courtyard defined by the buildings. A strong pedestrian axis, which is aligned with the
residential portion of the site, has been incorporated to emphasize the pedestrian
environment and encourage walking between the mixed uses. Due to the numerous
trees on site, the buildings and parking areas will be adjusted to preserve as many
existing trees as possible within the plan, thus creating a more attractive, hill country
setting.
The driveway access points have been coordinated with the adjacent Wesleyan facility
located to the west. The internal roadway system has been designed to allow future
connection to the adjacent property to the east. In order to ensure a mix of uses on the
Estrella site, the following criteria are established as minimum requirements.
♦ Retail: Minimum of 15,000 square feet
♦ Office: Minimum of 20,000 square feet
♦ Residential: Minimum of 7 acres
D. allowable Uses
The uses allowed for the Estrella Mixed Use development shall comply with the list of
allowed and prohibited uses defined in the Georgetown UDC Zoning Use Table
5.01.030, under the zoning category of C-1, with the addition of the following uses:
♦ Single Family Attached Condominiums
E. Pedestrian Circulation
Pedestrian circulation will be a vital component of the conceptual development plan to
encourage an alternative mode of transportation within the mixed use development. In
cases where the front building fagades face Williams Drive, a sidewalk shall be located
between the front fagade and the Williams Drive right of way. The general location is
illustrated along the front of the residential units on the conceptual development plan,
Exhibit C.
In areas where the parking facilities are located between the right of way and the
buildings, the sidewalk may be routed internally to provide the pedestrian connection
along the front of the buildings. The internalized walkways must be connected to the
�- ..
AG to PUD
Paore 2 of ..
A_ o .
residential walkway system in an organized and logical circulation pattern for easy
access between the uses.
As illustrated on the conceptual development plan, a central pedestrian corridor will be
created to connect the Estella Crossing roadway to the residential portion of the
development. If any modifications occur to the conceptual development plan during the
site plan process, this pedestrian connection will be maintained in some form to ensure
pedestrian connectivity between the retail/office uses and the residential units.
F. Architectural Criteria
Once the design of the development is refined and finalized during the site plan review
process with the City, a comprehensive architectural theme will be developed which
will specify the architectural theme, materials and colors for the development. In order
to convey the architectural theme, items such as architectural elevations, material
sample boards and color samples shall be submitted to the City in conjunction with the
site plan review process.
G. Signage
A master sign plan shall be prepared for the mixed use development prior to the
issuance of any sign permits. The intent of the development will be to create a master
sign package which will have a common theme, material palette and appearance which
will visually relate to the architecture and tie the various land uses together.
The proposed conceptual sign types and locations for the project are as follows:
One (1) freestanding monument sign at the proposed entry road from Williams
Drive, which bisects the property between the residential and office/retail uses
One (1) Multi Tenant Sign, designed per Section 10.06.050, F, 2
One (1) freestanding monument sign at the proposed site entry from Estrella
Crossing, across from building 3 on the conceptual development plan, Exhibit C
One (1) freestanding, internal monument sign at the entry drive which leads to
the residential enclave on the eastern portion of the site
Sign dimension criteria shall comply with Section 10.06, Sign Design and Area
Regulations and Table 10.06.010, C-1 District.
The intent of this development is to create a master sign package which stays within the
maximum square footage allowance of the UDC, but which allows the transfer of square
footage between sign type classifications.
Estrella Development Plan
AG to PUD
H. Development Standards
The Estrella Development will comply with the Development Standards set forth under
the base zoning district of C-1, with the exception of the following modifications:
1. "Build to" tine provision:
Per the Unified Development Code, table 6.03.020, Non Residential Lot and
Dimensional Standards, the required Front Build to Line minimum percentage is
15%. For the purpose of this Estrella PUD, the required "Front Build -to line
minimum" provision shall be applied by evaluating the entire Estrella site
frontage along Williams Drive. Regarding the "build -to" requirement, the
Estrella site and the multiple buildings shall be evaluated as one development.
For the entire Estrella Mixed Use Development site, a minimum of 30% of the
entire site's frontage on Williams Drive shall be faced by a primary architectural
facade located within five feet of the required Scenic Gateway Corridor buffer.
No parking spaces will be allowed within this 30% frontage. Sidewalks, access
drives, berms, retaining walls and landscaping are allowed between the building
facade and the Williams Drive right of way.
2. Scenic Gateway Corridor
The Estrella Mixed Use tract is located within the Williams Drive Corridor,
which is designated as a Scenic/Natural Gateway by the Georgetown Unified
Development Code, Section 8.07.020, B. The Estrella development will comply
with the required 25' gateway landscape buffer and planting requirements
defined by section 8.07.050 of the Georgetown Unified Development Code.
3. Impervious Cover
The Estrella Mixed Use site is located over the Edwards Aquifer. Per the
Georgetown Unified Development Code, Section 11.02, the impervious cover
limit is established at 50% with the potential for increases up to 65% with waiver
criteria. The impervious cover maximum for the Estrella Mixed Use site shall be
60%. The calculation of the Estrella Mixed Use site impervious cover shall be
measured as a whole based upon the entire 15.16 acres. The following measures
will be incorporated into the site design to justify the overall impervious cover
increase:
® Parking lot design configured to preserve existing trees within islands and
parking lot medians and parking areas separated by planted or natural
landscaping features. Per UDC Section 11.02.020, A, 2, a 5% impervious cover
waiver is allowed if the development provides a parking lot design that
breaks up the parking area into areas separated by planted or natural
landscaping features.
The plan will exceed the City of Georgetown landscaping minimum
requirements by at least 30%. Per UDC Section 11.02.020, A, 4, an impervious
cover waiver of 3% is allowed for Over Provision of Landscaping by 30%.
Low impact site design measures such as, but not limited to, bio swales,
grassed filter strips and bio retention facilities will be incorporated into the
design. Per UDC Section 11.02.020, A, 1, an impervious cover waiver of 7%
for Low Impact Site Design is allowed.
4. Building Height
The Estrella Mixed Use site is composed of office, retail and residential uses.
Certain buildings within the development will be up to two stories and will vary
in height. Per the UDC Section 6.03.020, Non Residential Dimensional Standards,
the maximum building height in the C-1 zoning district is 35'.
In order to account for architectural design features and flexibility in the design
of the mixed use buildings, the proposed maximum building height shall be 45'
for the Estrella Mixed Use site.
