B Consideration and possible action to approve the minutes from the May 17, 2022 regular
meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission -- Kimberly Spencer, Development
Administration Program Manager
C Consideration and possible action to disapprove for the reasons set forth in the item an
application for a Preliminary Plat, consisting of approximately 293.6 acres in the William
Roberts Survey, Abstract No. 524, generally located on the North and south sides of Shell Road
between Sycamore St. and Shell Spur to be known as Woodfield Preserve (2021-28-PP) -- Grant
White, Planner
Travis Baird recited the caption for Item C. Baird shared that it has been set for disapproval and
staff comments have not changed.
Applicant Walter Hoysa approached podium. Chris Blackburn yielded to Mr. Hoysa thus
giving him 6 minutes to speak. Hoysa spoke primarily to staffs comment regarding alignment
of the roadway and the waterline in relation to the roadway. Hoysa shared that in his
assessment the waterlines not being constructed under a roadway is a preference not an
engineering guideline or requirement.
Commissioner Stanley requested a response from City staff.
Wesley Wright approached and shared that the raw water line transports water from Lake
Stillhouse to Georgetown and allows us in Round Rock and Brushy Creek to treat that water
and provide it to customers. The existing development to the Southwest here Georgetown
Village has held the right of way line all the way through their development so that this water
line could stay in the right of way and not impede the future expansion of Shell Rd. Wright
continued to share that as presented by the applicant, if the right of way dedication they are
proposing to give is allowed to move forward that water line will meander under the road
under a future median. If there is a median there, it makes it extremely difficult to maintain the
48-inch water line. Wesley clarified that if there is any kind of damage to that waterline it will
not only shut down that lifeline for Georgetown, Round Rock and Brushy Creek, it will also
shut down the road.

June 7, 2022
Keeping the waterline on one side of the road out of the pavement is critical to our ability to
maintain both vehicular traffic and water to the lake. Because of this, the proper positioning of
this waterline is imperative.
Commissioner Haynie requested directional clarity on the waterline. Wright shared that the
developer is looking to place the waterline in Phase 4. City staff would like the waterline to be
in Phase 6. Wright continued to share that although the waterline is managed by Brazos River
Authority, there is county right of way. As this area develops, the intent long term is that it will
be annexed into the city.
Chair Perthuis confirmed if this was an issue that is unique to Shell Road. Wright shared that,
yes, it is an exclusive problem here for Shell Road. The line continues all the way up to the
Belton area, and there have been conflicts with road projects, most recently at Reagan and 35..
With the new construction of the overpass, the waterline there had to be relocated as part of that
project.
Commissioner Haynie asked the applicant if moving the waterline will have an impact on
project homes. Hoysa shared that it would significantly impact the number of homes they are
able to construct.
Chair Perthuis requested confirmation on whether Shell Road is currently in the Overall
Transportation Plan or not. Wright confirmed that yes, it is.
No further discussion.

Legislative Regular Agenda
AV Public Hearing and Possible Action on a request for a zoning Map Amendment to zone,
upon annexation, a 18.522-acre tract out of the Joseph Fish Survey Abstract No. 332 to Public
Facility (PF) zoning district for the property generally located 270 feet north of Crocket Garden
Road and 430 feet west of Cedar Breaks Road (2022-5-ANX). Cesar Acosta, Long Range Planner
Nat Waggoner presented staff report. The City of Georgetown has requested an initial zoning of
Public Facility for the subject property in order to construct a water treatment plant to provide
additional water treatment capacity to the west side of the City.
The subject property is located 2.6 miles west of Williams Drive and less than half a mile south
of Lake Georgetown.
The subject property has no manmade structures on the premises. The property is covered in a
mix of brush and small trees that are thickest at the northern boundary of the property. There is
one dirt road connecting the center of the subject property to Crockett Gardens Rd.
The subject property has a Future Land Use designation of Mixed Density Neighborhood and
does not have a current zoning district as it is in the City's ETJ.
The applicant is requesting that the subject property be brought into the city limits with an
initial zoning of Public Facilities (PF) in order to build a water treatment plant. The Public
Facilities (PF) zoning district is intended to provide a location for government and other public
or quasi -public facility operations. These may include schools, public parks, hospitals, airports,
government offices, churches and light industrial uses that allow for the operation of major
utilities but would not include industrial facilities or storage yards. Some uses allowed in this
district might generate heavy traffic volumes and high -intensity operations. The PF district shall
contain uses that are allowed in both residential and non-residential districts and is subject to
non-residential design and landscaping standards for compatibility with nearby or adjacent
residential uses. Permitted uses in this district include, but are not limited to, emergency
services station, government/post office, library, hospital, and utilities. Other uses such as
schools, community centers, churches, restaurants, and event facilities are permitted subject to
specific design limitations to ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties. Certain land
uses including group homes with more than 16 residents, orphanage, psychiatric hospital, and
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 9 of 16
June 7, 2022
major event entertainment, may be permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP).
Exhibit 4 contains a comprehensive list of PF district permitted uses and development
standards.
The proposed rezoning 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 zoning request.
Staff has reviewed the proposed rezoning request and has found that it complies with 3 of the 5
and partially complies with 2 of the 5 criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a Zoning
Map Amendment.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to commissioners for discussion.
Chair Perthuis asked clarification on if we have a future land use areas that are identified for
public facility. Waggoner shared that he did not have the background on that. Chair Perthuis
did not wish to gain further clarification.
Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with no speakers coming forth.
Motion by Commissioner Noble to approve Item AV for the reasons set forth. Second by
Commissioner Haynie. The motion was approved unanimously 5 — 0.
AW Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to
rezone approximately 486.3 acres out of the Burrell Eaves Survey abstract 216 and Lemuel
Walters Survey Abstract 653 from the Residential Single Family (RS), Low Density Multi -family
1 (MF-1), and Local Commercial (C1) zoning district to a Planned Unit Development District
(PUD) zoning district, for the property generally located at 4565 Hwy 195 (2021-18-PUD) --
Travis Baird, Asst. Planning Director
Travis Baird introduced Chance Sparks from Freese & Nichols as a representative for the City of
Georgetown. Sparks presented on the staff report.
The subject property is located along portions of Ronald Reagan Blvd. and SH-195 near the
intersection of those two arterials. The applicant wishes to develop the property primarily as
single-family residential, with a mix of commercial, office and high -density residential uses near
the entrances at SH-195 and Ronald Reagan Blvd. The intent is to provide an expansion of the
adjoining Sun City Texas as well as other adjacent neighborhoods and commercial services,
along with recreational amenities.
The proposed PUD has been designed to address the following development standards:
Planning &Zoning Commission Minutes Page 10 of 16
June 7, 2022
1. Multi -family Density: The total number of residential units within areas having a multifamily
base zoning shall be limited to 535 total units, in no circumstance exceeding the permitted
density of the respective base zoning district (MF-1 or MF-2).
2. Single -Family Active Adult to Broad Market Ratio: The active adult residential is set as a
maximum of 500 units, with the broader market product being set at a maximum of 750 units
(1,250 residential units, combined).
3. Single -Family Lot Type Diversity: In order to achieve product diversity, a maximum of 40%
of the total single family active adult lots are allowed to have lot widths between 43' and 50',
not to exceed 200 lots. In addition, at least 25% of the total active adult lots are required to have
widths 65' or greater, comprised of at least 125 lots. For the broad market single-family
detached product, the minimum lot width shall be 45' with a maximum of 46% of total lots
being permitted to have widths less than 50' not to exceed 345 lots. A minimum of 20% of the
broad market single-family detached product shall have lot widths of 60' or wider, comprised
of at least 150 lots.
4. Adjacency Compatibility: The minimum lot width for lots backing the Shady Oaks Estates
neighborhood shall be 70'. In addition, a 25' drainage lot buffer is provided against the
neighborhood.
5. Residential Lot Standards: The lot standards are adjusted from RS to allow for the lot widths
described above, with active adult lots reduced to 5,000 s.f. from 5,500. Impervious cover is
calculated across the entire residential portion to 45%, with individual lots being 65% (offsetting
with parks/open space).
6. Residential Design Standards: Design standards for active adult products are waived from
the UDC to allow consistency with adjacent Sun City standards. Other single family residential
must incorporate 2 of 6 elevation features.
7. Multifamily Flexibility: While portions for high density multifamily do not deviate from the
UDC, the MF-1 area north of the Collector near the SH 195 entrance shall either comply with
UDC standards at time of entitlement for townhouse/condo sites or be developed as 42'
singlefamily lots.
8. Commercial Use. The PUD limits the uses permitted in the C1 district and has prohibited uses
that do not take steps to support the gateway vision for community. Additionally, the PUD has
established limitations on car related uses such as commercial parking lots and transit -related
facilities, and residential facilities like correctional facilities and transient service facilities, in an
effort to preserve the frontage for uses that will support the increased population that will be
created as a result of the residential development. Likewise, some other uses are prohibited due
to land consumption, like cemeteries.
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 11 of 16
June 7, 2022
- 9. Amenity Center and Parkland/Open Space: The PUD establishes a 3.6 acre amenity center,
specifying a range of acceptable recreational uses. It will incorporate rainwater harvesting as
well as a native plant palette from the City's list of low water plants. This plant palette also
extends to common area landscaping, along with a prohibition on St. Augustine grasses. Based
on the parkland calculation formula, the PUD is required to satisfy 9.38 acres of parkland. 5.5
acres of public parkland/open space and 11.4 acres of public passive parkland (16.9 acres total)
are provided, to be built by the developer and owned/maintained by the City. The HOA will
provide park maintenance. 17 heritage trees are preserved in the 5.5 acre area. A 2,300' trail in
the 11.4 acre park. This 11.4 acre park will be owned by Williamson County and maintained by
the HOA. In addition, the PUD will install $250,000 in public improvements within the amenity
center, $735,000 in public park improvements within the 5.5 acre park, except for the 10' trails
along collectors. Development within MF-1 and MF-2 areas will comply with UDC parkland
dedication policies and be calculated at time of site plan.
10. Pedestrian Circulation: A 10' sidewalk is proposed on one side of all unloaded collectors,
with 6' sidewalks on the other side. 5' sidewalks are included on all residential streets. A 12,
shared use path is included along the SH 195 frontage, to be placed in a public access easement.
11. Vehicular Circulation: Specific roadway sections are included, providing provisions to
adjust to meet marketing goals and preserve existing trees. Medians shall be at least 10'.
Streetlights shall comply with dark sky practices.
12. Signage: A detailed master sign plan is included.
Based on the findings within the approval criteria, the requested zoning districts are found to be
appropriate for the subject property and area. The proposed addition of the subject property to
the existing PUD allows for a unified development that has prioritized commercial land use
along the frontages that are consistent with the highway corridor, provides a range of densities
appropriate individually and in aggregate for the Mixed Density Neighborhood Future Land
Use designation, and creates a system of housing type variety. Natural corridors are protected
and used as assets to buffer & transition uses. In Staff review, the request was found to be in
accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has
determined that the proposed request meets 10 of the 11 and partially meets 1 of the 11 of the
criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 and 3.06.040 for a Planned Unit Development.
Chair Perthuis opened the floor to the commissioner for questions.

brief history of the development. Presented to council and had a positive response. They also
met with several members of the Shady Oaks neighborhood and adjusted the development in
response to collaboration with Shady Oaks residents. Some of what included upgraded fencing

into the local streets instead of a collector street. She spoke to revisions agreed upon with Shady
Oaks residents which included assurance that "no construction" signs will be posted within the
neighborhood so that construction traffic will not deviate into the neighborhood. Payne
continued to share that they did a TIA back in November 2021. In response to the TIA they
made building turn lane improvements to Ronald Reagan and committed to building traffic
signals at 195 and Ronald Reagan. Payne shared that they met and exceeded requirements of
the TIA.
Commissioner Dickey asked for clarity on if the agreed upon improvements are still in the plan
currently. Yes. Applicant spoke to improvements and provided a picture of the proposed
fencing that was improved.
Commissioner Noble requested more information as to why there not a connection to the Sun
City neighborhood. Baird noted that there are no stubs where connections would be
contemplated. Chair Perthuis clarified that since Berry Creek is next to the subdivision a bridge
would need to be constructed in order for there to be a connection. Lua Saluone confirmed that
yes, this would be the case. Saluone continued to share that according to the UDC, the
development is required to have three connections to major streets. It doesn't specifically say
where or how those roads are to be connected. From an engineering standpoint, staff is looking
at the code and how that is specifically being met for the connections.
Steve Ashlock Pulte Homes approached the podium to provide clarity on the lightly shaded
area Commissioner Haynie requested clarity on. That area is referred to as 88 and 89 and is
currently being designed. He noted that there is a preliminary plat for Sun City with

center for that area. Ashlock also shared that those two sections will connect internally with a
golf cart path.

• Roads will not withstand the expected volume of traffic from Woodside.
• Discussed the differences in the TIA and the assessment done by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.

county both approved SOE development with 21-foot roads, without sidewalks, and
streetlights. SOE residents have used its roads for walking, cycling, dog walking
congregating, and annual picnics. Increased traffic from Woodside will render current
pedestrian friendly SOE community to one that will no longer be safe.
• Continued to express concern over mobility, health, safety, and enjoyment of the SOE
community.
