The proposed request was reviewed by all applicable City Departments to determine the appropriateness of the requested zoning on the subject property. No comments were issued regarding the request. The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Blue Springs Blvd and Interstate-35 north bound frontage road. The current zoning, Future Land Use designation, and existing uses of the adjacent properties are Industrial (IN) and General Commercial (C-3). This area is mostly in an Employment Center and a Regional Center to the North, South, and East. The surrounding area is mostly undeveloped except for the Major Arterial Road to the West. Cantu continued by reviewing the approval criteria within 3.22.060 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) as listed below: Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 10 of 17 June 21, 2022 A.

BI Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Indoor Self -Storage in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district on the property located at 2701 East University Avenue, bearing the legal description of 3.42 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract No. 21 (2022.2-SUP). Ryan Clark, Planner II Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 11 of 17 June 21, 2022 Ryan Clark presented the staff report. In summation the applicant is requesting to construct a 35-foot tall, 3-story indoor self -storage building that is approximately 120,060 square feet in size. In addition to the indoor self -storage, they are proposing at least 7,500 square feet of tenant space to be reserved for uses permitted by right in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district that may include a drive -through restaurant. Clark expands on the location of the proposed property. He notes that the property is located at 2701 East University Avenue, adjacent to Georgetown Fire Station No. 7. It is approximately 0.25 miles west of the intersection of East University Avenue and SE Inner Loop, and approximately a mile east of Southwestern University. Clark continues by clarifying the proposed zoning district and shares that the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district is intended to provide areas for commercial and retail activities that primarily serve residential areas. Uses should have pedestrian access to adjacent and nearby residential areas but are not appropriate along residential streets or residential collectors. The district is more appropriate along major and minor thoroughfares and corridors. Clark notes that permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to, assisted living, financial centers, food catering services, general retail and office, and library and museums. Other uses such as bar/tavern/pub, church, and self -storage are permitted subject to specific design limitations. Certain land uses, including event facilities, event market, car wash, fuel sales, and restricted personal services, require a Special Use Permit (SUP). Exhibit 4 contains a comprehensive list of C-1 district permitted uses and development standards. Clark clarifies that Special Use Permits allow for City Council approval of uses with unique or widely varying operating characteristics or unusual site development features, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Code. Special Use Permits may be issued only for uses that are generally compatible with other uses permitted in a zoning district, but that require individual review of their location, design, intensity, etc. Indoor Self -Storage is defined in the UDC as a building or group of buildings in a controlled access and fenced area containing individual storage compartments of varying sizes that are leased for the storage of business and household goods. There is no conduct of sales, business or any other activity allowed within the individual storage units. Indoor self -storage may also be referred to as mini -storage or mini -warehouse. In 2015, The UDC was amended to require a Special Use Permit for Indoor Self -Storage in the C-1 and C-3 zoning districts. This change was meant to contribute to the preservation of commercial corridors while still allowing for increased flexibility in uses. Clark continues by reviewing the approval criteria. He notes that staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has determined that the proposed request meets 5 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.07.030 for a Special Use Permit. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 12 of 17 June 21, 2022 Chair Perthuis opened the floor to the commissioners for questions. Commissioner Heintzmann made a note the proposed area is an image corridor and the City has always designated this as low height area. Heintzmann noted that a three-story Public Storage doesn't seem to fit with what would be considered the image corridor coming into Georgetown. She continues by noting that the proposed area is also surrounded by neighborhoods. Commissioner Haynie asked for clarification on the optional status for Commercial zoning and the possibility for conditions as presented by the case manager, Ryan Clark. Clark noted that in the instance where the commission would like to be more specific regarding their conditions to make note of that when making the motion/decision. The applicant, Bryan Birdwell (purchaser of property/applicant), approached the commission to present. Mr. Birdwell noted that he understands the corridor status and respects that this property is within the Community Center Future Land Use area. He continues by sharing that his intent is to have an aesthetically pleasing site and continues by discussing the need for retail in this part of town. He noted that they have enhanced landscape and have gone above and beyond what is required to create green space and buffers for the properties surrounding the site. Chair Perthuis opens the floor to commissioners for questions to the applicant. Commissioner Dickey requested clarity on if the rendering is a false facade and if it will be one or two stories. The applicant clarified that it will be a one story. Chair Perthuis asks for clarification on what the height limitations were for C1.

Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 13 of 17 June 21, 2022 Commissioner Stanley stepped outside for a moment. Returned a minute later. BJ Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Indoor Self -Storage in the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district on the property located at 1301 NE Inner Loop, bearing the legal description of 7.31 acres in the John Berry Survey, Abstract 51 (2022-4-SUP). Ryan Clark, Planner II Ryan Clark presented staff report. Clark proceeds to summarize that the applicant is requesting to construct a 35-foot, 3-story building utilized for indoor self -storage with 128,100 square feet across the three floors. The site's primary use is currently outdoor self -storage with 4 existing one-story buildings. In 2017, a 1-story building in the same location and with the same building footprint at this location, was approved with the initial Special Use Permit for the Outdoor Self - Storage use. While the 1-story building has not yet been constructed, the approval remains, and it can still be constructed as shown (Exhibit 5). Because of the existing SUP, this request is an amendment to the 2017 approved SUP's Conceptual Plan in line with UDC Section 3.07.040.B. The change the applicant is proposing is to construct a 3-story building rather than the single - story building approved in 2017. This requires that "If the Director determines that the modifications to the conceptual site layout change the basis for the initial Special Use Permit approval, the modified permit shall follow the normal review process for a Special Use Permit." Staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has determined that the proposed request meets the criteria established in UDC Section 3.07.030 for a Special Use Permit and meets 4 and partially meets 1 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a Zoning Map Amendment as outlined in the attached Staff Report. The property is located on the western side of NE Inner Loop and the property's southern boundary is approximately 220 feet from the edge of the San Gabriel River. The property slopes north to south towards the San Gabriel River. There is an existing detention pond on the southern portion of the property. The property runs along NE Inner Loop, but slopes to the south whereas NE Inner Loop maintains its elevation through an embankment that leads to the bridge. Because of the difference in grade between the subject property and the higher elevation of NE Inner Loop,, the subject property relies on the adjacent property to the north for driveway access. The northern portion of the property is in the 500-year floodplain, and the portion south of the detention pond is in the 100-year floodplain. The subject property has a Community Center Future Land Use designation and is currently zoned Local Commercial (C-1). The adjacent property to the west is currently undeveloped and zoned Agriculture (AG). The adjacent property to the north is developed as an attached multi -family apartment complex. To ' the west is a property used by Williamson County for various activities that does not have any structures. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 14 of 17 June 21, 2022 The proposed Special Use Permit request was reviewed by all applicable City Departments to determine the appropriateness of the requested specific use on the subject property. Staff determined upon review that the additional outdoor storage buildings proposed on the conceptual plan can no longer be approved through a SUP in the C-1 zoning district. Instead, the applicant is seeking approval for those buildings through the process set out for Expansion of Non -Conforming Uses in UDC Section 14.02.05 through an Administrative Exception. Staff also noted that the site has a side -path shown along its frontage on NE Inner Loop on the Trails Master Plan, which will require the construction of a 10' sidewalk. Applicant is present and available for questions. Chair Perthuis opens the floor to the commissioners for questions of staff. Commissioner Dickey asks for clarification on elevation, zoning to the west and floodplain. Clark brings up map to demonstrate the location in question and identify the areas for Commissioner Dickey. Applicant approached the podium to present to the commissioners. Applicant, Aneil Naik (Applicant) presented to the commissioners the site location. Noted that his intent it to add curb appeal to the site while complying with the 35 ft height requirement. '. Naik noted that they sent out an independent letter to 300 ft buffer to gather additional feedback and make a connection with residents. He was able to make a connection with a resident and encouraged them to come to the public hearing. Chair Perthuis opened the floor to commissioner to ask questions of the applicant. Commissioner Heintzmann askes clarification on location of entrance. Clark noted that the existing driveway is shared with Multifamily property. Heintzmann requests more information on it the entrance is sufficient for the new property. Clark noted that as per engineering, yes, it is sufficient. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with no speakers coming forth. Scott Robins approached the podium to speak. Robins owns the property to the left of the proposed request and noted that he did not have an objection, however, would like to have access thru the proposed site. Motion by Commissioner Dickey to approve Item BJ for the reasons set forth. Second by Commissioner Stanley. The motion was approved 6 — 0. Chair Perthuis opens the floor to commissioners for discussion. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 15 of 17 June 21, 2022 Chair Perthuis requests clarity on if this request will trigger landscape requirement for the property in its entirety. Clark shared that, yes, they will need to address landscape requirements. Commissioner Haynie requested the applicant to address the public comment/speaker on whether they'd be open to allowing the resident access. The applicant noted that they will address the resident but did note that they would not be able to guarantee the request simply due to there be security concerns as a secured storage property.
