respects to the Site Layout, all applicable Exhibits, and this PUD document.
7. MASTER SIGN PLAN
7.1 A comprehensive signage plan for the development of the Property (the
"Master Sign Plan") shall be required. The Master Sign Plan serves to implement signs
uniformly as a means of clear visual communication, and is intended to cause the designs
of any signs on the Property to be complementary to the natural environment, and to
improve pedestrian and vehicular safety. Signs may only convey the name of the
businesses and the products or services offered within the Property, provided, however,
that temporary construction signs, signs advertising portions of the Property for sale or
lease, and temporary signs announcing special events on any portion of the Property shall
be permitted. Monument signs, walls, fencing, architectural features, as well as sign
design and lettering, along the public right-of-way adjoining the Property will be
homogenous and will consist of a standard design to ensure that the comprehensive
signage for the Property does not dominate the streetscape. All signs shall be constructed
of materials and colors compatible with those utilized on the Buildings' facades so as to
blend into the environment and the development scheme of the Property in general.
Billboard signs shall not be erected on the Property.
7.2 The Master Sign Plan shall be submitted to the City for approval by the
Building Official prior to and as a condition for final approval of any site plan for any
part of the Property. Signage designed, developed or constructed within the Property shall
comply with the approved Master Sign Plan.
7.3 Up to six (6) Monument Signs may be designed, developed and constructed
along the public right-of-way of the Property, and may be located along the Property's
boundaries in direct proximity of the planned entrances to the Property. Monument Signs
shall not be subject to a 25 -foot setback from the public right -of way, shall be limited to
eight (8) feet in Building Height with a maximum of forty-eight (48) square feet for each
of the two (2) permitted sign faces per Monument Sign, and will be installed in such
areas as to maximize the public safety of owners, tenants, and invitees of and to the
Property, and to enhance the efficiency of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to and from the
Property. Monument Signs shall comply with minimum setbacks prescribed in Table
10.06.010 of the Code.
7.4 Low -Profile Signs may be used in lieu of Monument Signs. Low -Profile Signs
must not exceed ten (10) feet in Building Height and are otherwise subject to the same
limitations applicable to Monument Signs. Low -Profile Signs shall not be subject to a 25 -
foot setback from the public right -of way. Low -Profile Signs shall comply with minimum
setbacks prescribed in Table 10.06.010 of the Code.
G�
7.5 As the Property represents an integrated and comprehensive mixed use
development which is distinct from adjoining developments, architectural features, walls
or fencing, not to exceed ten (10) feet in height, may be used at one or more entries
fronting Rivery Boulevard to delineate the development and to display the development
name and logo. The name of the development and its logo may be used on entry
improvements in lieu of Monument Signs, providing that individual business names or
logos shall not allowed on any entrance improvements. The maximum area of lettering
attached to the architectural features, walls or fencing shall not exceed 48 square feet on
each side of the entry. In order to tie the Property together, similar architectural features,
walls or fencing may be used along Rivery Boulevard, providing such features do not
obstruct vehicular view corridors and do not exceed height requirements prescribed in
Section 7.05.010 of the Code. The variance between the maximum heights allowed for
entry improvements and the architectural features, walls or fencing along Rivery
Boulevard may be achieved by graduating the height between the two maximum heights.
The development logo, without the development name, may be used on architectural
features, walls or fencing along Rivery Boulevard as a design feature and not be
considered signage. Architectural features, walls or fencing, and the attached signage at
entries, shall not be subject to a 25 -foot setback from the public right -of way and shall be
included in the Master Sign Plan.
7.6 Internal Directional Signs and Wayfinding Signs of similar design and colors
are allowed throughout the Property and shall be permitted in addition to the Property's
signs along the public right-of-way. Directional Signs shall conform to the specifications
set forth in Section 10.03.020 of the Code. Wayfinding Signs which are of a style and
size as Municipal Wayfinding Signs may include the names of businesses located on the
Property. The number of Internal Directional and Wayfinding Signs will not exceed what
is sufficient to provide safe and efficient use of the Property. Directional, wayfinding, and
information signage for the public parking garage located in Zone B 1 shall be as required
by the City in its sole discretion.
7.7 In general, Electronic Message Centers and unshielded Neon Signs shall not
be permitted to be designed, developed or constructed on the Property; provided,
however, that a maximum of three (3) Electronic Message Centers may be allowed in
outdoor public areas internal to the Property provided that the same are not visible from
the public right-of-way on Rivery Boulevard and the same otherwise do not impair the
safety or wellbeing of the public or any owner, tenant, or invitee of any portion of the
Property; and provided further that encased Neon Signs shall be permitted on restaurant
building facades provided the same are situated at least one hundred feet (100') from the
public right-of-way on Rivery Boulevard. Electronic Message Centers will be situated so
as not to be disruptive to internal vehicular traffic and will principally be used to inform
visitors to the Property of activities, events or festivals planned or occurring throughout
the community.
7.8 The Hotel, Conference Center, public Parking Garage and Buildings in Zones
A, Bl, 132, and B3 may be accessed by several proposed driveways from Rivery
Boulevard and pedestrian access ways from Rivery Park. Wall signs based upon each
7
Building's primary entrance and Building Fagade as defined by Section 16.02 shall be
expressly permitted under this PUD pursuant to Section 10.06.030(C) of the Code. Under
this PUD, one wall sign secured to the top level of each of the respective Buildings which
can be viewed from each view corridor is expressly permitted for the proposed hotel,
conference center, and Buildings in Zones A, Bl, B2, and B3. The proposed hotel is
subject to three (3) view corridors, and therefore a maximum of three (3) wall signs shall
be permitted on these improvements. The Buildings situated near the Property's southerly
and easterly boundary lines are subject to two (2) view corridors, and therefore a
maximum of two (2) wall signs shall be permitted on these improvements. Wall signs
will also be allowed on the parking garages in Zones A, Bl, B2, and B3. Specifications
for these signs will not exceed those outlined in Section 10.06.030(C)(1) and Table
10.06.010 of the Code, and shall otherwise remain subject to the specifications set forth
in the finally approved Master Sign Plan.
7.9 In addition to the six (6) Monument Signs allowed in Section 7.3 along the
Property's boundaries and at the entrances to the Property from the Rivery Boulevard.
one (1) additional Monument Sign shall be allowed in front of the Hotel and Conference
Center to enhance the efficiency of the vehicular and pedestrian traffic as they approach
the main entrance to the Hotel and Conference Center. This one Monument Sign shall be
located in the landscaped island located in front of the Hotel and public Parking Garage
The sign shall be limited to twelve feet (12'-0") in height and six feet (6'-0") in width
with a maximum sign area of 58 square feet for each of the two (2) permitted sign faces.
S. STORM WATER DRAINAGE MAP, WATER QUALITY, AND GREY
WATER
8.1 Storm Water Detention. The natural flow of storm water drains across the
Property from the south and southwest to the North Fork of the San Gabriel River or to
natural drainage channels that discharge to said river. Detention structures are typically
required to mitigate the increase in storm water runoff associated with any increase in
impervious cover resulting from development; however, due the Property's location
adjacent to the San Gabriel River, detention structures are not required as any increase in
runoff will not impact any property or structures downstream of the Property. A
comparison of the developed runoff hydrograph of the Property to the pre -development
hydrograph of the Property and to the river hydrograph must show that the development
of the Property, in accordance with this PUD and the Code, will not impact structures and
properties adjacent to the Property or properties downstream of the river.
Storm water runoff from the developed area of Zones Bl, B2, B3, and C will discharge
from the site via overland and/or conveyance through the existing natural channels. The
existing natural channels are primarily rock lined with sporadic natural shrubbery.
Necessary drainage measures will be implemented to minimize degradation to the
vegetation within the natural channels caused by any increased runoff during normal
rainfall events. These measures may include providing detention to mitigate increases in
runoff for the one-year and two-year occurrence intervals.
H
Two existing storm sewer lines traverse the Property from Rivery Boulevard to natural
drainage channels that convey storm water to the existing water quality pond. These
storm sewer lines were constructed as part of The Rivery Phase One Construction Plans
by Urban Design Group as approved on June 4, 2002. The construction plans for the
existing storm sewer lines do not indicate any storm sewer inlets to serve the Property.
Additional engineering calculations shall be required as part of any site plan review
process to determine if adequate capacity exists in the storm sewer lines to serve the
Property. The existing topography appears to allow for direct discharge into the adjacent
natural drainage channels that lead to the existing water quality pond.
8.2 Water Quality. The Property is located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge
Zone according to the TCEQ USGS Quad Map. The Property must comply with the
requirements of Chapter l t of the Code and the Edwards Aquifer Rules of the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Zone A and the eastern 4.29 acres of the combined Zones B1, B2, and B3 contribute
to the existing adjacent water quality pond maintained by the City. The existing wet
pond is approved and regulated by TCEQ Edwards Aquifer Rules. All areas
contributing to the existing water quality pond shall comply with the approved Water
Pollution Abatement Plan (WPAP) as amended. However, the pond can be modified
to serve a more intense development and/or capture additional areas of the Property,
provided that any expansion is approved by the City's Parks & Recreation Director
and meets TCEQ Edwards Aquifer Rules. Pond modifications cannot diminish access
to Rivery Park amenities, and existing amenities must be restored or improved
following pond modifications.
The remaining tracts of land in Zones Bl, B2, B3, and C will require water quality
controls in accordance with the TCEQ Edwards Aquifer Rules. The water quality
controls may be accomplished by:
(a) Natural vegetative filter strips or one (1) additional wet water quality pond
located within the City's property known as Rivery Park — In order for
natural vegetative filter strips or one (1) additional wet water quality pond
to be viable and approved by the City, plans and analysis will have to be
completed to ensure that utilizing the existing park area will: (i) not cause
additional erosion within Rivery Park; (ii) not adversely impact the
existing natural vegetation (grasses, brush, or trees) within Rivery Park;
(iii) meet the minimum requirements established by TCEQ for vegetative
filter strips.
(b) Sedimentation/filtration or other TCEQ approved controls or by natural
vegetative filter strip located within the City's adjacent water quality pond
located adjacent to the Rivery Boulevard Bridge — The existing water
quality pond will have to be enlarged to accommodate any additional
contributing area in accordance with the requirements of TCEQ and the
City engineer. In order for this option to be viable and approved by the
City, plans and analysis will have to be completed to ensure that utilizing
Z
the City's existing water quality pond along Rivery Boulevard will: (i) not
cause additional erosion within Rivery Park; (ii) not adversely impact the
existing natural vegetation (grasses, brush, or trees) within Rivery Park;
and (iii) meet the minimum requirements established by TCEQ.
(c) On-site water quality controls meeting the minimum requirements
established by the TCEQ Edwards Aquifer rules — In order for this option
to be viable and approved by the City, plans and analysis will have to be
completed to ensure that utilizing on-site water quality controls will: (i)
not cause additional erosion within Rivery Park; (ii) not adversely impact
the existing natural vegetation (grasses, brush, or trees) within Rivery
Park; and (iii) meet the minimum requirements established by TCEQ for
vegetative filter strips.
(d) A combination of two or more of the items above may be utilized to
accomplish the required water quality requirements.
All water quality control methods, location, and scale are subject to approval by the
City by and through its City Engineer.
8.3 Grey Water Line. In the event that any owner of the Property intends to use or
access the City's grey water line in the future, an agreement between the developer and
the City of Georgetown regarding access, use and easements will be necessary to enable
the developer to access the City's grey water line, which runs along the bank of the North
Fork of the San Gabriel River and which is located in the City's property known as
Rivery Park, for the purposes of irrigation in Rivery Park and on the Property and for
other uses as available, permitted, and agreed to by the City of Georgetown. In the event
that connection occurs, connection to the City's grey water line will be positioned along
the Property's most northern boundary so as to be least disruption to parkland on the east,
unless otherwise approved by the Development Engineer.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
9.1 Development on the Property shall comply with all environmental protection
standards detailed in Chapter 11 of the Code, except as otherwise specified in this PUD.
10. ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
10.1 The Property has approximately 2,020 feet of frontage along Rivery
Boulevard, a divided arterial roadway. Rivery Boulevard has five (5) existing median
cuts adjacent to the Property. Existing median cuts are as follows:
(a) At the southwestern most corner of the Property, with an accompanying curb
cut and public access road to Lot 1-1, Block A, of the Replat of Rivery Park,.
Lot 1, Block A, and Lot 1-2, Block A, of the Replat of Rivery Park, Lots 1-2
and 1-3, Block A;
(b) At the southwest corner of Lot 1, Block A, of Rivery Park II subdivision, with
no accompanying curb cut;
10
(c) At the proposed new Hershey Avenue as depicted on The Summit at Rivery
Park Preliminary Plat, also being the existing curb cut and public access road
to Rivery Park;
(d) At the proposed extension of Wolf Ranch Parkway as depicted on The
Summit at Rivery Park Preliminary Plat; and
(e) At the proposed new Hintz Road as depicted on The Summit at Rivery Park
Preliminary Plat.
