ORDINANCE N0,
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE PASSED AND ADOPTED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS ON THE
12TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 1968, AMENDING A PART OF THE ZONING
DISTRICT MAP OF THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE, TO CHANGE 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, FROM THE C-1 LOCAL
COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION TO THE RS
RESIDENTIAL SINGLEFAMILY ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION, AND
PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS CLAUSE
WHEREAS, an application has been made to the City Council for
the purpose of changing the zoning district classification of
the following described real property ("the Property"), which
is mapped in Exhibit A:
The westernmost 160 feet of Lot 13 of the Anderson
Addition, a subdivision recorded in Volume 22 Page 463 of the
06/27/89 ----- Council Minutes (csf JUN27.min) page 4 of 28
Deed Records of Williamson County, Texas; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has submitted the proposed change in
the Base Ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
its consideration in a public hearing and for its
recommendation or report; and
WHEREAS, notice of such hearing was published in a newspaper of
general circulation in the City, which stated the time and
place of hearing, which time was not fewer than fifteen (15)
days after the first day of such publication; and
WHEREAS, written notice was given as required by state law for
the meeting before the Planning and Zoning Commission to all
the owners of the lots within two hundred feet of the
property; and
WHEREAS, the applicant for such zoning change placed on the
Property such signs as required by law for advertising
the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing; and
WHEREAS, the City acknowleges that the Planning and Zoning
Commission, in a meeting held on June 6, 1989, recommended
denial of the request for the changing of said zoning
district classifications provided in the Base Ordinance on
the above described property from the C-1 LOCAL COMMERCIAL
zoning district classification to the RS RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY zoning district classification in a split
decision; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that this amendment to
the zoning district containing the described property is
appropriate and consistent with the City's comprehensive plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GEORGETOWN, TEXAS:
Section One.
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.
