D. Presentation and discussion of the City’s Municipal Utility District (MUD) Policy and Unified
Development Code (UDC) Amendments. Wayne Reed, Assistant City Manager and Seth
Gipson, Management Analyst
Davila introduced Seth Gipson and explained the topic. Gipson presented the approved Interim
MUD Policy. He gave the background and history of the MUD Policy, explained the Council’s
direction on the policy and reviewed possible recommendations to the UDC to support the
policy.
Bargainer asked why the assessment of impact fees is being moved to final plat recordation
when all others are vested at preliminary plat approval. Nelson explains that this addresses the
situation of developers trying to vest and then not building the project. Hopefully, this holds
the MUD developers to a higher standard and will drive the development further.
Philpott asked that staff give more recommendations and explanations of these items moving
forward.
Dubcak questioned the higher price developments are wanting to go through the process to be
a MUD. Nelson explains that the cost of the infrastructure in a regular development is not
reimbursed, but with a MUD, the infrastructure is reimbursed with funding from tax
assessments.

UDC Advisory Committee 2
June 25, 2018
Nelson explains the purpose of the MUD is an incentive to the developer and the developer
must provide a trade-off for those incentives by giving something back.
Policy 1, ADQ explained that staff recommends leaving this in. The Board concurs.
Policy 2. Gipson explains this section clarifies the uniqueness of the project, removing specific
examples, and the Board generally agrees. Do unique factors need to be covered in the UDC?
Staff recommends not doing this. Board agrees to keep the general description in the UDC with
a reference to the Policy, to allow more flexibility.
Policy 3. MUD creation petition and information. ADQ explains the UDC will hold the review
process and the Development Manual will have the checklist, of details. Board agreed.
Policy 4. Cross Departmental MUD Review Team. ADQ says this is proposed to be moved into
UDC. Bargainer thinks this should be very general. Board agrees on the description of the
formation of the team with general departments.
Policy 5. Addresses Public Services and Safety. Gipson explains this item. The policy is not
changing, but recommends taking a piece of this policy to add to the UDC, that which takes a
portion of the land to develop in regards to the safety of the general area (i.e. a new fire station,
a Service Improvement Fee, etc.) Board agrees.
Policy 6. Utility Services Issues ADQ explains that staff proposes to add item Y under section
13.10.05 of the UDC. Bargainer requested legal verification that this is allowed.
Policy 7. Debt. Should the UDC contain the specific tax rate listed in the MUD Policy? Staff
recommends not putting this in the UDC where a change cannot be made as easily. Board
agrees that this should remain in policy only, no numbers in the UDC, including the maximum
term.
Policy 8. Annexation. This is not proposed to be changed. It addresses future annexation of
MUDs.
Policy 9. Exceed minimum UDC Development Standards. This language was modified to
correct discrepancy of age-restricted neighborhood standards. They also reviewed other
standard language for consistency. ADQ explained that there are minimum standards that
would need to be located in the UDC to be codified and enforceable.
Policy 10. Parkland and Trails, and Policy 11. Transportation – ADQ will be adding these items
to the UDC to be codified and made enforceable.
Staff Analysis, Board agreed to keep the analysis in the Policy document.
Conditions to City’s Consent to Creation of a District. Board agrees that this can be included in
the UDC.
City Operations Compensation Fee (aka Master Developer Fee). ADQ feels the fee collection
still needs to be in the UDC, the formula is an option. Nelson suggests this formula could be
located in the Development Manual, or the Policy. Board agrees naming it in the UDC and the
formula itself can be located in the Policy.
Public Wishing to Address the Board
As of the deadline, no persons were signed up to speak on items other than what was posted on the agenda.

Q6 Is there anything else the City should consider when regulating food
trucks?
Answered: 11 Skipped: 6
#RESPONSES DATE
1 The Health Department, if the City approve the food truck, needs to make sure that temperatures
of the food are correct, as well as, the transportation of the food to the trucks
4/5/2018 8:54 AM
2 they should have the same requirements as buildings as far as water, restroom and hand washing
and parking access. It is very unfair for food trucks to operate with fewer requirements and then
utilize the mandated requirements at traditional locations...parking, bathrooms, health code etc.
4/4/2018 12:58 PM
3 Parking. Effects on nearby businesses. Transients that tend to hang out in the seating areas.
Pollution and trash that get blown about. Cheap signage.
4/4/2018 10:00 AM
4 What taxes and business and community obligations will be required of the food trucks? What are
the restroom facility requirements of an area with several food trucks? How far away from resident
tax paying food establishments will food trucks be required to park? For instance, parking taken
away from brick and mortar establishments.
4/3/2018 8:48 PM
5 The food trucks should not be in the downtown vicinity, unless it's for a festival or market days.4/3/2018 8:11 PM
6 The restrauntures in the Downtown Historic Square are held at a higher and stricter standard, and
invest, as well as produce the highest revenue for restaurants. I don’t believe it is fare to the
established restaurants to take a cut in their daily sales after investing an immense amount of
monies compared to “Food Trailers”
4/3/2018 7:10 PM
7 I think permanently established food trucks should be handled like a restaurant, though they may
not provide all the amenities, they do provide food ongoing. I think the public would like to know
where the trucks will be located and are very interested in them not detracting from what makes
Georgetown a great - our square. I think the trucks business would regulate the length of time it is
in Georgetown. If it isn't making business it would likely leave. The city needs to regulate the area,
the appeal, the cleanliness of the trucks, not necessarily how long it stays.
3/28/2018 2:29 PM
8 They are severing the same people as local restaurants and should be held to the same standards
as permanent establishments. Cleanliness, food safety etc...
3/28/2018 8:43 AM
9 When you mention food truck, most have the mindset that your business is making money hand
over fist. It couldn't be further from the truth. Any regulations/fees that are being discussed need to
keep that key element in mind.
3/27/2018 9:13 PM
10 I think food trucks are great, however it's important for the downtown businesses that we are not
overrun with too many food trucks that take away from our historic designation. Perhaps there is a
better location they can operate? Property owners on the square have invested a lot of money
updating historic buildings. I would like to see continued investment in historic buildings, and I
would expect the City to protect that investment by limiting the amount of food trucks downtown.
Thank you.
3/27/2018 4:00 PM
11 The key word is "truck" which makes it mobile. I believe they should never be allowed to stay at a
location permanently. Unless it is a food truck park where they may all gather.
