Thursday, November 9, 2023 Sofia Nelson, CNU-A, Planning Director City of Georgetown 406 West 8th Georgetown, TX 78626 Re: Letter of Intent Special Use Permit 605 E. University Suite 110 Dear Sofia, Per your staff s instructions we are revising our letter of intent for our special use permit application, for the purpose of building out the above listed unit as a first -floor residential condo. As you know the current configuration for this development is residential on the second floor and commercial office and retail on the first floor. We wish to amend this configuration for the following reasons: 1) Federal ADA guidelines provide that developments of this type have a certain number of units that are accessible to the handicap user. There are exceptions for certain types of developments and in 2016 an exception involving internal staircases was cited for this development. A recent inspection by one of our ADA compliance personnel, interpreted this differently and has recommended that a first -floor residential unit be added if possible. 2) Federal Condo lending guidelines also stipulate that an accessible unit is recommended and that lending guidelines prefer that the number of residential units to commercial be greater than 50%. This conversion would satisfy both these guidelines. 3) The applicant has an elderly relative and caretaker who would occupy the unit. She can no longer manage stairs. There are no compatibility issues here because we already have a mixed -use development. This change in no way effects the development or neighborhood in any negative way. In fact, Old Town lacks affordable housing and this would be an additional unit that would be affordable in the future and handicap accessible. The following items detail how our application meets the requirements. — Established 1940 — P.O. Box 2567, Georgetown, Texas 78627 1 Phone: (512) 763-8411 1 lhm@mcintoshholdings.com Comprehensive Plan Goals Goal 1: This project already meets this goal of balanced land use as it is the only Mixed - use development of Retail, Office and Residential in the Old Town and it is on a major roadway. Goal 3: By definition this project is the poster child of reinvestment in an existing neighborhood and the revitalization of older building. This conversion of this unit to residential fits with the City's desire to provide additional affordable housing in an expensive area. Goal 4: This project saved two older buildings and restored an historic home Goal 6 This Special Use Permit will ensure diverse housing by providing affordable housing for the elderly and handicap that we cannot currently provide. Land Use Policies LU.1 This project as expressed earlier, has created a balanced, mixed -use development with retail, office and residential uses as well as adequate parking in the oldest neighborhood in Georgetown. LU.2 This is one of the few infill projects in old town, that also increased density but still provided adequate parking. LU.6 This project and its Special Use Permit will provide for a more diverse tenancy. Additionally, the redevelopment of this site preserved several historic structures. LU.7 The completed project turned an older eyesore into a beautiful addition to one of Georgetown's important gateways. LU.8 The majority of this project was off the tax rolls prior to acquisition by the applicant. Now there are 19 new property owners and over five million dollars of valuation. The City's tax base has been increased and diversified. Approval Criteria Section 3.07.030 Item A: The application calls for a Conceptual plan but this not necessary for this application. This project has a fully approved site plan, SDP-2016-041, which will not be changed in any way for this to be approved by the City. Moreover, the adjacent units to this suite are sound proofed and fully sprinkled. There will be no negative for either commercial or residential occupant. Item B: Item A addresses the fact that no conceptual plan is needed. Item C: 1. The property is already zoned and the development is finished. The project is a mixed -use development already, therefor there can be no negative impact. There is no outward change as far as the neighborhood is concerned. There is however the positive impact of creating a handicap access residential unit where one does not currently exist. 2. See item A above 3. As with item 2, the property is completely built out and there is no change to parking or any exterior part of the development. We have three spaces allotted for the unit as commercial and we only need two for residential. 4. As with item two and three, no changes to the development so no impact on items listed in number four. I hope this adequately addresses the criteria in question. Per staffs request we are providing a copy of the plat which includes the field notes. IF f� l Managing Par ..

Thursday, January 25, 2024 Maddison O'Kelley Planning Department City of Georgetown 406 West 8th Georgetown, TX 78626 Re: Council Meeting presentation Dear Maddison, I have talked with my Austin Associate Mr. Scott and I have looked at the Loop Net Ad discussed Tuesday night. Mr. Dana is correct that this was posted. As I said in the meeting, I had never seen this Ad, or been aware that it was on line. If I had, I would have corrected it. The intent of the ad was to let a prospective Buyer know that we had a residential component to the project. There is a market for living on the second floor and working on the first. We have had several parties look at this. The project was designed with this in mind. It was never our intent to offer a first -floor space for sale as a residential unit. We would need to cut the price and incur a substantial TFO expense to accomplish this goal. It would not make financial sense. Mr. Scott has removed any reference to residential uses in the advertisement. While this was an administrative error, I wanted to offer this explanation for the purposes of clarity and full disclosure. Sincerel c14tos M- caging Partner Cc Peter Dana -- Established 1940 — P.O.
