WHEREAS, on March 11, 2003, the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas,
adopted a set of comprehensive development regulations known as the Unified Development
Code ("UDC") via Ordinance No. 2003-16, which codified various zoning and subdivision
standards; and
WHEREAS, the 2003 UDC established uses that may be permitted by right, subject to
limitations or approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) in each zoning district (Zoning Use
Regulations); and
WHEREAS, several uses have been identified by City Council that must be reviewed in
order to ensure the healthful and orderly development of the city, as well as the public welfare
by regulating certain uses along the City's major thoroughfares, residential neighborhoods and
commercial/employment centers; and
WHEREAS, the City Council established a Unified Development Code Advisory
Committee on November 12, 2013, to review proposed or requested amendments to the UDC
other than executive amendments, which are those amendments that are nondiscretionary,
mandatory, or legislative revisions to address state statutes or case laws, ratify published
directors determinations, incorporate recently approved Council ordinances, process City
Council designated emergency items, or address revisions otherwise determined necessary by
legal counsel.
