Abstract No. 13, located along Lakeway Dr. between Northwest Blvd. and Airport Rd., from Local Commercial (C-
1) to Industrial (IN) zoning district -- Sofia Nelson, CNU-A, Planning Director (action required)
Nelson presented the item. She then presented the Location Map, Future Land Use Map, Zoning Map, and Aerial Map.
Nelson reviewed the Industrial Zoning District and what is allowed in that type of district. She explained that some of the
more intense uses allowed with Industrial Zoning would require a Special Use Permit and public hearings. Nelson stated
that staff had reviewed the criteria for zoning changes and felt that the use did comply or partially comply with the different
criteria. She stated that to date 13 property owners have submitted letters in opposition to the request for zoning. Nelson
said that the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on September 18, 2018 and recommended denial
with a 5-2 vote which will require a Council super -majority vote to be approved.
Nelson read the caption.
Scott Foster, the applicant for the property, provided a presentation. He said that his group has been out talking to the
neighbors surrounding the property. Foster explained the compatibility of the zoning to the area and that buildings may
be up to 500 feet away from the nearest home. He then showed Council a map of the area that included a buffer of a creek
and trees that will remain undisturbed. Foster explained that traffic is being considered as part of the project. He added
that the project will comply with all City regulations. Foster reviewed restricted uses and informed Council that he is
willing to put deed restrictions in place for over 40 uses. He showed Council the concept plan for the area.
Mayor Ross opened the Public Hearing at 6:36 PM.
Les Romo signed up to speak but was not in attendance when called.

Lary Havins spoke on behalf of is family who are the property in question. He gave his family history and the family's
reasons changing the property use.
Allen Hill signed up to speak but was not in attendance when called.
Mayor Ross noted that Mary Havins Hill was in favor of the change but did not wish to speak.
Nick Boyd spoke as a potential buyer for the project. He explained that his wife has roots in Georgetown and his business
team will be community focused. Nicholson asked for clarification of the uses planned. Boyd explained that his group is
only interested in a portion of the area for Industrial Zoning. Nicholson asked about a portion of the land near the runway.
Foster explained that the portion referenced will still be maintained by the Havins family. He added that the proposed
deed restrictions were provided to Council and would be recorded prior to the next Council meeting. Nicholson stated she
appreciated Fosters correspondence with the nearby residents.
Nena Young spoke as a nearby homeowner of the property against the project due to safety of residents and school
children.
Bill Vaello spoke as a nearby homeowner of the property against the project. He did not feel the deed restrictions provided
enough protection for the homeowners and was concerned about traffic and safety.

school children.

Jennifer Franz spoke as a nearby homeowner of the property against the project. She did not feel the deed restrictions
provided enough protection for the homeowners and was concerned about traffic and safety of residents and school
children.
Gonzalez asked McNabb about the ability of the City to enforce deed restrictions in perpetuity if they are accepted by the
current property owner. McNabb explained that deed restrictions are enforced by the property owner and normally cities
are not part of deed restriction. Foster responded that the nearby neighborhood has no HOA in neighborhood but the
owner would be happy to add the City as an enforcing body. He added that in addition to the draft deed restrictions
provided, the owner plans to include a two year hold on amending the deed restrictions without a 100% support of the
residents. Gonzalez responded that he understood but was trying to find the most equitable solution to meet the needs of
the City for this type of use and that he wasn't sure if the deed restrictions were the best way to meet the needs of the
neighborhood residents. Foster added that the deed restrictions would extend the entire property area beyond what was
being discussed at the current meeting. Gonzalez responded that he would be will to move this forward to a second reading
and allow staff to review the options related to deed restrictions and a possible third party to enforce them.
Mayor Ross closed the Public Hearing at 7:05 PM.
Motion by Gonzalez, second by Fought.
Approved 6-1. (Jonrowe opposed.)
