Exhibit A
Saddlecreek Planned Unit Development
A. Purpose and Intent
The Saddlecreek PUD is composed of 353.084 acres, as described in Exhibit B (Field
Notes). The development of this property is planned as a high quality, mixed use
community with a blend of retail, office, business park and multiple residential
opportunities in a variety of lot sizes and configurations.
The contents of this PUD further explain and illustrate the overall appearance and
function desired for this community. The variety of product types and community
design vision differ in some ways from conventional suburban development. Due to
the variations in design, several modifications to the Georgetown Unified Development
Code will be necessary to implement the vision for the community.
A Concept Plan has been attached to this PUD, Exhibit C, to illustrate the design intent
for the property. The Concept Plan is intended to serve as a guide to illustrate the
general community vision and design concepts and is not intended to serve as a final
document. The Concept Plan depicts a mix of residential products, open space areas
and non-residential uses which are contemplated within the community.
B. Applicability and Base Zoning
All aspects regarding the development of this PUD shall comply with the version of the
Georgetown Unified Development Code (UDC) in effect at the date of PUD approval,
except as established in this PUD exhibit, titled Exhibit A.
For the purpose of complying with the UDC requirement of selecting a base zoning
district, the following base districts have been selected for the residential and non-
residential areas:
RS – Residential Single Family (for single family detached residential)
TH - Townhouse
MF-2 – Multi Family (for attached Multi Family)
MF-1 – Multi Family
C-1 – Local Commercial
BP – Business Park (for SH 130 fronting lands)
This PUD allows the definition of final lot boundaries during the platting process. Each
plat or site plan submitted to the City will identify the use at the time of City Submittal.
All neighborhoods within the PUD will comply with the modified development
standards of this PUD. In the case that this PUD does not address a specific City
requirement, the Georgetown Unified Development Code shall apply. In the event of a
conflict between this PUD and the base zoning district, this PUD shall control.
Saddlecreek - Planned Unit Development Page 3 of 24
C. Concept Plan
Exhibit C attached is a conceptual development plan intended to visually convey the
design intent for the Saddlecreek community. The design of the community is not
final, and is subject to refinement during the platting and site planning stages. This
PUD zoning document does not constitute plat or site plan approval of the attached
plan.
The residential component of the project is comprised of a mix of various single family
detached products as well as townhomes, apartments and cluster single family condo
regime. Additionally, Saddlecreek will include a cohesive network of open spaces,
including parks, greenbelts, water quality areas, trails, and a resident’s amenity center.
The non-residential areas of Saddlecreek will be a mix of retail and business park
components oriented to SH 130 and Sam Houston Avenue. The design balances
visibility and access from major roads for non-residential uses with a mixed residential
community that is centered around the existing schools.
D. Allowable Uses
The uses allowed within the Saddlecreek PUD shall comply with the list of allowed and
prohibited uses defined in the Georgetown UDC Chapter 5 Zoning Use Regulations
with the addition of the following uses:
MF-1: Areas designated as MF-1 on Exhibit C shall allow the additional uses as listed
in the UDC for the following districts: TH-Townhouse, RS Residential Detached, RS

G. Parkland/Trails/Open Space
Open space within Saddlecreek will create a network of trails and parkland that creates
distinct neighborhoods and provides pedestrian walkways throughout the community.
Per UDC Section 13.05.010, B, Formula for Calculating Area of Parkland, the acreage
contributed for parkland shall be pro-rated in an amount equal to one acre for each 50
new detached single family dwelling units. As illustrated on Exhibit D, Open Space
Summary, the Saddlecreek PUD Concept Plan illustrates approximately 32 acres of
parkland/open space; a mix of greenbelts, open space, trail corridors, parks and water
quality amenity lakes. A combination of parkland and parkland improvement expenses
shall be allowed as credit toward the parkland requirements for the detached single
family housing in Saddlecreek. Park elements and associated improvement costs, shall
be allowed as credit toward the parkland requirements. Elements that can be used as
credit shall include but not be limited to:
Playgrounds
Parking lots to serve parkland
8’ Concrete hike and bike trails
Open recreation fields
Public picnic pavilions
Turf and irrigation associated with play fields
Amenity ponds and fountains
Public restroom facility
The Townhouse, Cluster and Multi Family development parcels within Saddlecreek
shall independently address parkland requirements or be allowed to pay a fee in lieu of
parkland.
Pedestrian trails and circulation are planned to be vital components of the Saddlecreek
community. The following summary describes the location and approximate linear
footage of trail proposed within Saddlecreek:
5,400 linear feet of 8’ wide, concrete trail will be incorporated into a centralized
open space greenbelt and will connect parks, schools and neighborhoods.
1,800 linear feet of an expanded 8’ wide, concrete bike and walking trail will be
located along the south and west side of Bell Gin Road which extends through
the property in lieu of a typical sidewalk. The Bell Gin trail will connect the
central greenbelt trail with the City regional trail, which connects at Mitchell
Elementary School. No sidewalk will be required along the north and east side
of Bell Gin Road. The City may choose to construct a sidewalk along the
northern/eastern lanes of Bell Gin.
2,400 linear feet of 8’ wide, concrete bike and walking trail will be located on
the south side of the primary community entry road that connects to Rockride
Saddlecreek - Planned Unit Development Page 8 of 24
Lane (Street “B”). No sidewalk will be required along the north side of Street
B.
Water quality ponds may be located along the central greenbelt of Saddlecreek and will
be designed as an amenity feature that enhances the adjoining residential
neighborhoods. The primary central park shall be built in the first phase and shall be
credited toward the community parkland requirement. The first phase of the parkland
is defined on Exhibit D.
All facilities utilized as credit toward parkland requirements shall be open to the public
and privately maintained by the Saddlecreek MUD and/or homeowner’s association.
H. Roadway Design
The Saddlecreek vehicular circulation pattern provides access to all parts of the project
from Rockride Lane, Bell Gin Road and SH 130. See Exhibit C for roadway
circulation and right of way classification.
The primary community entry will be from Rockride Lane on the western boundary of
Saddlecreek (Street “B” on Exhibit C). The primary roadway will serve as the entrance
for the residential areas of the community. The roadway may be median divided for a
segment of the entry experience adjacent to the retail center and transition to a 73’
residential collector right of way with 30’ of pavement. Where the roadway is median
divided, a minium of 20’ of pavement will be maintained on the inbound and outbound
portions of the roadway.
Street “B” shall intersect an internal collector loop road that will be a 65’ Residential
collector (Street “C”) to the north of the intersection and a 73’ collector roadway (Street
“D”) to the south of the intersection, as labeled on Exhibit C. The pavement width for
Streets “C” and “D” shall be 30 feet. Up to 10 residential lots shall be allowed to face
onto Street “C” with a driveway spacing of 60 feet measured from the center of the
driveway.
Internal local streets within Saddlecreek shall utilize a 50’ right of way with 27’ of
pavement measured from face of curb to face of curb. On street parking shall be
restricted to one side of the street. A sign will be placed at entries into residential
neighborhoods stating that parking is restricted to one (1) side of the street. Final sign
language to be determined and agreed to by the City and Applicant prior to installation.
Select neighborhoods within Saddlecreek may employ the use of rear loaded, alley
homes. If so desired by the City, the alley streets will be created as privately owned
and maintained access drives to the lots they serve. The alleys shall provide a right of
way width of 20 feet and a pavement width that is a minimum of 14 feet. Alleys may
be constructed of asphalt.
Where alley loaded product is developed, the local streets may be developed as 50’
right of way with 27’ of pavement width measured face of curb to face of curb. On
Saddlecreek - Planned Unit Development Page 9 of 24
street parking shall be restricted to one side of the street, unless the pavement width is
increased in parking areas to accommodate parking on both sides of the street. A sign
will be placed at entries into residential neighborhoods stating that parking is restricted
to one (1) side of the street. Final sign language to be determined and agreed to by the
City and Applicant prior to installation.
Access from SH130 will be provided by a 73’ collector right of way that will ultimately
link SH130 to Bell Gin Road (Street “A” on Exhibit C). Saddlecreek shall dedicate the
full right of way width to the City and the development shall construct two lanes of the
collector roadway (30 feet of pavement), concurrent to the development of the adjacent
lands with either Residential or Employment Center uses. The additional 2 lanes will
be constructed as required by the City coincident to the future development of the
Employment Center uses adjacent thereto, if determined necessary.
Bell Gin Road is designated on the City Transportation Plan as a 73’ major collector
right of way that ultimately provides a connection between the SE Inner Loop and Sam
Houston Avenue. The Saddlecreek property does not control the northern or southern
connection points of the Bell Gin collector. As such, Saddlecreek will construct two
lanes of the proposed collector within the boundary of Saddlecreek. Right of way for
the ultimate development of the roadway will be dedicated to the City and reserved for
future completion of the additional lanes.
Mitchell Elementary School and a future Middle School are adjacent to the northwest
corner of Saddlecreek. In order to provide safe access and a student drop off area, a
pedestrian and vehicular access point will be provided along the Saddlecreek western
boundary. The access point will not physically connect to the school property unless
approved by the Georgetown Independent School District, but will provide safe access
for Saddlecreek residents to drop off children for school. The ultimate location of the
drop off area will be coordinated with the Georgetown ISD to ensure that the access
point is located in a logical location that is compatible with the school district site
design.
Landscape Islands: The Saddlecreek PUD allows the planting of trees and vegetation
in medians and public right-of-ways. The Developer or Homeowners Association is
responsible for landscape maintenance and irrigation within landscape lots and right of
way. Landscape within the right of way shall require a license agreement with the City.
Saddlecreek - Planned Unit Development Page 10 of 24
Roadway design standards shall be governed by the Georgetown UDC, Section 12.03,
Streets unless modified within this PUD.
