J Direction to staff to proceed with negotiations of a potential special financing district to facilitate development
for a certain —300 acre property located in Southeast Georgetown adjacent to Sam Houston Avenue -- Andrew
Spurgin, Planning Director and Micki Rundell, Chief Financial Officer
With a Powerpoint Presentation, Spurgin said staff is seeking direction regarding a proposed financing district. He
provided a brief background on why this is coming forward to the City Council. He showed Council a map of the
southeast quadrant of the City where this special financing district would be located. He said staff is looking to
create an employment center and he described what type of development that would bring. He spoke about how
large corporate sites look for a lot of land and large flat areas to build. He said utility capacity is also a big issue
with these types of uses. He mentioned how the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan has a huge impact on staff
direction. He spoke about how, under the plan, GTEC used funds to help allow for transportation and open this
quadrant up to future development. He said the southeast sector is untouched by development and unbalanced
compared to the west side of the City. He listed some potential employment center uses for that area and
described a development being proposed for that area. He said retail opportunities are limited in that area without
new rooftops. He said the financing district being discussed is a MUD with residential, which would probably
require disannexation from the City. He said a municipal management district for the commercial portion was also
discussed. He said the existing UDC criterion contemplates a location outside the city limits and outside of the 5
year CIP Plan. He said, since the property is in the City limits, it will not normally be considered for a MUD. He
reviewed the various pros and cons with respect to this proposal. He described some of the alternatives being
identified, including in -city options. He described the next steps in the process and said Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended proceeding at their meeting on March 4. He said, if staff is directed to proceed, staff
will work on amending the comprehensive plan, disannexation of the property if the in -city option is not practical
and a consent agreement for district.
Speaker, David Nairne, of the Woodhull Development reviewed his project and their request for Council.
Motion by Gonzalez, second by Fought to direct staff to continue to pursue a disannexation and an in -city MUD
option for this project, with more information coming back at a later date.
Fought spoke about how he does not want to end up with disannexation. Fought asked and Rundell spoke about
why a PID is not as attractive as a MUD. Hesser asked and Rundell said the City does not currently have any in
City MUDs. She spoke about why the City has elected not to do these in the past. Spurgin said, in 2013, there
were changes to the state law regarding MUDs to make it a little more flexible than it has been in the past.
Brainard asked and Rundell spoke about infrastructure out by 130 and what the City contributed in that area.
Brainard asked and Spurgin confirmed this would be a departure from the current land use plan. Brainard asked
and Spurgin said the preferred action from Council would be to continue with negotiations with the developer
moving forward. Spurgin said staff wanted a policy level discussion before going too far down the road. Brainard
said he hopes staff and Council can come to an agreement that would not abandon too much of the current land
plan. Eason asked and Spurgin spoke about the multi -family development in this area. She said any residential
development should not be considered economic development. Spurgin said staff will be bringing this issue
forward for more discussion at a future meeting date. She spoke about how she dislikes the idea of
disannexation. Hammerlun asked and Spurgin said a land plan would be approved along with a MUD through a
consent agreement. Hammerlun asked and Rundell spoke about how the City would still receive sales tax from
the MUD. There was much discussion about the proposed development. Jonrowe she said she is willing to be
flexible on both issues, whether it should be inside or out of the City limits. She noted the City has been waiting
for development to happen in this area. She said she does need more information on the in city option. Gonzalez
spoke about how he is very much in favor of this project and said this is development the City desperately needs.

Consideration and possible action to approve Task Order No. CPY-14-001 with CP&Y, Inc., of Austin, Texas, for
professional engineering services to develop the schematic and 30% construction plans and preliminary
estimate for the extension of Rabbit Hill Road from Westinghouse Road southward to its intersection with
