That all of the facts recited in ordinance are hereby found by the correct, and are incorporated by expressly made a part hereof, as Section Two, the preamble to this Council to be true and reference herein and if copied verbatim; That the Base Ordinance and the Zoning Map of the City, as well as the Zoning District for the property described as The westernmost 160 feet of Lot 13 of the Anderson Addition, a subdivision recorded in Volume 22 Page 463 of the Deed Records of Williamson County, Texas, shall be and the same are hereby changed from the C-1 LOCAL COMMERCIAL zoning district classification to the RS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY zoning district classification. 06/27/89 ----- Council Minutes (csf JUN27.min) page 5 of 28 Section Three. That if any section, provision, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this ordinance or application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holdings shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance, and the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas, hereby declares it would have enacted such remaining portions, despite such invalidity. UPDATE: (June 6, 1989) The zoning ordinance provides that when a property is divided by a zoning district, the more restrictive zoning governs the use and development of the entire property. Because the property at 701 Maple is zoned partially RS and partially C-1, only RS uses are presently permitted. However, the property could be subdivided to create one or more single family residential lots on the RS portion and a Commercial or multi -family lot on the C-1 portion. Any use not allowed in an RS district will necessitate subdivision of the property and thereby invoke the design standards of the subdivision regulations. Therefore, options °d' and °e' achieve the same end. Because the above facts were not contained in the preceding report, the staff presentation to the Commission on June 6, noted this condition. P&Z RECOMMENDATION: (June 6, 1989) By a vote of 3-2-1, the Commission recommended denial of the requested rezoning. Commissioner Ramos abstained and Commissioner Eason was absent. MAJORITY OPINIONS: Karen Gilbert: I agree with Bill (Mr. Johnston), except that it was not an isolated incidence of C-1 zoning. It's tied to the whole block. I've lived here for a period of years, and I'm not aware that whole block was used as monument company. I'm not privy to what the thinking was in 1968 when the area was zoned. It does have some kind of a pattern to it. There is other stuff on east side of railroad tracks that is zoned C-1. I sincerely hesitate to expose the City in down -zoning here. I see it as a dangerous precedent. Wayne Meadows: I agree with what Karen said. I do not agree with Mr. Johnston on the railroad being a buffer. If anything the railroad adds to the commercialization of that area. You've got a corner here that is commercial. It's been in operation since 1930. It's not been used for the same purpose, but it was commercial and it has been commercial for 59 years. Although I am very sensitive to the neighborhood and their feelings of encroachment and the fact that they would like to keep their 06/27/89 ----- Council Minutes (csf JUN27.min) page 6 of 28 neighborhood as it is, it's been commercial for 59 years and its on the edge of a commercial area. I can't see taking away value from the property owners no matter what their plans are. When you change from commercial to residential, you are in fact taking value from that land owner. I would be opposed to that in this situation. Ben Whisler: It's been clearly stated during the deliberations that Commission does not wish to set a precedent that down -zoning is not to be considered by the Commission. I think it is incumbent on the applicant in this case to demonstrate the need for that down -zoning. I do not believe that it is the will of this Commission, based on the vote which has been done tonight. I agree with Mr. Meadows that we do not wish to deny the possibility of a downzoning, but there have to be controls on the process, and I don't believe they've been demonstrated tonight. MINORITY OPINIONS: W. T. Johnston: 1. It seems obvious that the original commercial zoning, which covers only a part of a lot which was existing at that time, was to legitimize a non -conforming use. The non -conforming use is gone, and no other Commercial application has been requested for the site. 2. Since it would require further action by the owner to develop the site commercially, and the owner has taken no action to further zone or subdivide to provide for commercial use, this indicates that C-1 zoning really was not in place as an investment or as a market driven decision. 3. The residential aspect of the neighborhood, which continues to grow as single family residential, and which is buffered by the railroad right-of-way from commercial uses that have developed in area, says that this should be designated as residential. Barton Levy: Relying upon the representation of the applicant as far as the changes in the neighborhood going towards single family dwellings, and in the absence of any representation to contrary, I voted my opinion. 890254 Consideration of and Possible Action on a Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City Council and Williamson County for the Seal Coating of Streets/Hartley Sappington 06/27/89 ----- Council Minutes (csf JUN27.min) page 7 of 28 Comments by Larry Crumpton, President of the Reata Trails Homeowner Association, regarding the intended support of the project, Motion by Councilmember Ercel Brashear and Second by Councilmember Joe Saegert to approve Resolution No. 890254 as read.
