Councilmember Gipson asked if this causes any more, or different, problems. Morgan asked that the map from the prior meeting be shown again. Polasek described "matched stops", where there is an inbound stop and an outbound stop. Polasek explained the "pair" could be moved. He said this can be done by moving both stops from Memorial and Wolf Ranch Parkway to Simon Road. He said this has been examined and there would be room for stops on both sides. Polasek described, and noted on the map, where the stops would now be. He said both stops will now be on Simon Road next to the Popeye's Chicken and Cane's Chicken and across the street from there also. Gipson asked if traffic flow and the moving of people had been examined for this change. Polasek said there will be a pedestrian cross walk over to Wolf Ranch and this is an improvement to pedestrian accessibility. He said people will be able to use the cross walk at the signal.

Councilmember Gonzalez said there is already a storage facility here and this is just an extension. He agreed that very little else can be done with this property. Councilmember Brainard said there are many storage facilities in Georgetown. Nelson explained that because there are more multifamily developments in Georgetown, there will be a greater need for more storage. She said that staff will monitor requests and look to seek locations that are most consistent. Brainard asked if this facility was intended to stay along time. Nelson said since it is an indoor facility, it seems to be a permanent facility and meets all of the UDC requirements. Gonzalez spoke on the supply and demand factor of these facilities.
