C o nsideration and pos s ible recommend ation o n the parkland d ed icatio n propos al fo r the P atters o n R anc h
S ubdivis io n. -- Kimberly G arrett
IT E M S UMMARY:
T he P atterson R anc h S ubdivis io n is reques ting c red it fo r a p rivate park to b e built b y the develo p er and
maintained by the HO A. Up to 50% credit toward s the p arkland dedic atio n fee and the p ark d evelopment
may b e granted fo r a p rivate park and amenities . T heir site has many challenges inc luding a gas line
eas ement and flo o d p lain. After much disc us s io n with the develo p er, staff p ro p o s ed they c o nsider the
p rivate park o p tion to give them some flexibility on their d es ign. In this ins tanc e, the d eveloper would be
req uired to have at leas t a 2 ac re park and have a minimum of 5 p ark imp rovement fac ilities. T hey are
p ro p o s ing a 2.13 ac re neighborho o d park and o ver 10 additio nal acres o f p rivate open spac e. With 400
units, their trad itional parkland req uirement is 5 ac res .
Within the park and o p en s p ace, amenities propos ed must be non exclusive and include:
P layground
P avilion
P icnic areas
Multi-us e o p en s p ace
Trails
P rivate park c redit may be granted b y the P arks and R ecreatio n Directo r after a rec o mmendatio n fro m the
P arks Board. S taff s up p o rts this proposal and believes 50% credit sho uld be allo wed d ue to the amount
o f private p arkland p ro p o s ed and the value o f amenities to b e ins talled. S taff als o agrees that this sc enario
is a win-win fo r both the C ity and Developer. T he res idents o f the neighbo rhood get a nic e park with
amenities whic h are non exclus ive and maintained by the HO A and the C ity rec eives funds to p urc hase
land and/o r develop another p ark in the development zo ne.

Footnotes:
--- (2) ---
Editor's note— Ord. No. 2019-37 , § 2(Exh. G), adopted June 11, 2019, amended Section 13.08 in its entirety to read as herein set out. Formerly,
Section 13.08, §§ 13.08.010—13.08.040 pertained to similar subject matter, and derived from Ord. No. 2017-15, § 2, adopted February 28, 2017.
Sec. 13.08.010. - Purpose.
The purpose of this Section is to provide parks, open spaces, and trails that implement the Georgetown Parks,
Recreation and Trails Master Plan. The Georgetown City Council has determined that parks, open spaces and
trails are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the adequate procedure to provide for same is by
integrating standards into the procedures for planning and developing property.
(Ord. No. 2019-37 , § 2(Exh. G), 6-11-2019)
Sec. 13.08.020. - Applicability.
The provisions of this Section shall apply to the development of a tract of land for any residential use of five or
more lots or dwelling units within the City limits and the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). For the purposes of this
Section, lots and dwelling units are interchangeable for determining the Parkland dedication requirements.
(Ord. No. 2019-37 , § 2(Exh. G), 6-11-2019)
Sec. 13.08.030. - Requirements for Parkland Dedication.
Dedication of Public Parkland Required.
A developer of a tract of land for residential use of five or more lots shall set aside and dedicate to the
public sufficient and suitable land for the purpose of public Parkland.
The minimum acreage of Public Parkland required shall be as follows:
For development with one or two dwelling units on a lot: one acre for each 80 dwelling units, or
fraction thereof.
For development with three or more dwelling units on a lot: one acre for each 110 dwelling units, or
fraction thereof.
The land to be dedicated shall form a single lot with a minimum area of three acres.
Exemptions.
When two or more, but less than three, acres of land would be required to satisfy the Public
Parkland dedication requirements, the Parks and Recreation Director may approve parkland less
than three acres if it is determined that it would be in the public interest, and/or accept a financial
contribution in lieu of dedication of public Parkland to meet the dedication requirements of this
Section.
A developer shall make a financial contribution in lieu of dedication of public Parkland when:
No portion of the tract of land is located within the City limits.
A developer proposes to develop 100 or fewer lots and where no future phasing is proposed.
Less than two acres of land would be required to satisfy the Parkland dedication

Fee to ensure that the public Parkland will be sufficiently developed for park use.
The amount for the Park Development Fee shall be in accordance with the adopted fee schedule and
based on the level of service for the public Parkland.
Alternative Standards.
When two or more acres of land are proposed to satisfy the Parkland dedication requirements, the
Parks and Recreation Director may consider a proposal from an applicant to construct park
improvements on Public Parkland in lieu of paying, in whole or in part, the Park Development Fee.
Park improvements shall include the minimum number of facilities listed in Table 13.08.030.C.3.b:

Credit for Private Parks.
Where privately-owned and maintained parks or other recreational facilities with non-exclusive private
amenities are proposed for a single-family, two-family, townhome, or detached multi-family residential
development, the Parks and Recreation Director, after recommendation from the Parks and Recreation
Board, may grant a credit of up to fifty percent (50%) of the required Public Parkland dedication and Park
Development Fee.
Privately-owned and maintained parks or other recreational facilities shall meet the following minimum
standards:
The park or recreational facility shall have a minimum lot area of two acres; and
The park or recreational facility shall include the minimum number and type of facilities outlined in
Subsection 13.08.030.B.3; and
The park or recreational facility shall comply with the Parks Master Plan, Subsection 13.08.040, and
other applicable City regulations.
Privately-owned and maintained parks or other recreational facilities for a single-family, two-family,
townhome, or detached multi-family subdivision shall be identified on the Subdivision Plat as a private
open space lot.
Privately-owned and maintained parks or other recreational facilities shall be owned and managed by a
mandatory Homeowners Association (HOA), or similar permanent agency, and subject to restrictive
covenants that state the following:
The land shall be utilized for Parkland or open space in perpetuity.
Each property owner within the subdivision encumbered by the restrictive covenants shall be
required to pay dues and/or special assessments for the maintenance of the private park or
recreational facility.
If the responsible agency dissolves, cannot fulfill its obligations or elects to sell, transfer or
otherwise divest itself of the land, the City shall have the right of first refusal on acquiring the
property. If the City elects to acquire the land, said land shall be transferred at no cost to the City
and in accordance with Section 13.08.050, Method of Dedicating Parkland.
The cessation of the privately-owned and maintained park or other recreational facility shall be
prohibited until such time as the declarant cedes control of the responsible agency to purchasers of
properties within the subdivision, and then only upon amendment to the restrictive covenants
approved by three-fourths of the members of the responsible agency.
Credit for Heritage Tree Preservation.
The parkland dedication requirement may be reduced if a Heritage Tree is saved within the dedicated
Parkland lot; however, the required Parkland lot shall not be less than three acres, unless the Parks and
Recreation Director determines it to be in the public interest.
The Parkland dedication credit shall be a 15-dwelling unit reduction in the number of units used to
calculate the Parkland dedication requirement for each Heritage Tree preserved within the Parkland lot.
Heritage trees counted towards this credit shall have their entire critical root zone (CRZ) located within
the Parkland lot.
Heritage trees within the 100-year FEMA or calculated floodplain shall not count towards this credit.

Sec. 13.08.040. - Location, Site and Development Standards for Public Parkland.
Any land to be dedicated to meet the requirements of this Section shall be suitable for public parks and
recreational activities as determined by the Parks and Recreation Director, and comply the following standards
and requirements:
The Parkland lot shall be centrally located within the development, when practicable. Where existing or
accepted public Parkland is located adjacent to the development, the Parkland lot may abut the existing
or accepted public Parkland provided it results in the creation of a larger park as approved by the Parks
and Recreation Director.
In unique circumstances, as approved by the Parks and Recreation Director, a developer may propose
dedication of land located outside the development boundary to meet the provisions of this Section. In
this event, the land proposed to be dedicated shall be located within the same Benefit Zone as the
development, and the value of the land shall be equal to the land or fee-in-lieu of land that would be
dedicated within the development.
Where a residential subdivision is proposed to be developed in phases, the Parkland lot shall be located
within the first phase of the development. If the required public Parkland is proposed to be outside of
the first phase, the first phase may be approved provided that fee-in-lieu of dedication is paid for the
number of lots within that phase. In this event, the fee paid may be credited towards the required Park
Development Fee for the subsequent phase(s) of the development.
The Parkland lot shall have a minimum lot width and street frontage of 200 feet. When practicable, the
Parkland lot shall be a corner or multi-frontage lot with a minimum street frontage of 200 feet on two
streets.
The Parkland lot shall only be located along street(s) where on-street parking may be accommodated on
both sides of the street.
A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the Parkland lot shall not exceed a twenty percent (20%) grade. A
slope analysis exhibit shall be provided to the Parks and Recreation Director.
Areas within the FEMA or calculated 100-year floodplain may be dedicated in partial fulfillment of the
dedication requirement not to exceed fifty percent (50%). When area within the floodplain is proposed to
be dedicated, a minimum of two acres of land, with a minimum width of 100 feet, shall be located outside
the floodplain to satisfy the Parkland dedication requirements.
Parkland lots with the following conditions shall not be accepted unless approved by the Parks and
Recreation Board:
The lot is primarily accessed by a cul-de-sac.
The lot is hindered by utility easements or similar encumbrances that make development of the
land unfeasible. This does not include required public utility easements pursuant to Section 13.03 of
this Code.
The lot is encumbered by sensitive environmental species or habitat areas.
The lot contains stormwater facilities. Where stormwater facilities are proposed, stormwater
facilities must be designed as a park amenity.
A minimum of two-inch water service line and six-inch gravity wastewater service line shall be provided at
one of the property lines in a location approved by the Parks and Recreation Director.
Sidewalks in accordance with Section 12.07 of this Code shall be provided along all street frontages.

The Parks and Recreation Director shall review the alternative design based on Section 13.08.030,
Requirements for Parkland Dedication, and Section 13.08.040, Design Standards for Parkland, of this
Code and present the proposed alternative design to the Parks and Recreation Board for a
recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Director.
The Parks and Recreation Director shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the request.
(Ord. No. 2019-37 , § 2(Exh. G), 6-11-2019)
Sec. 13.08.050. - Method of Dedicating Parkland.
Land to be dedicated for public Parkland shall be identified on the Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Subdivision
Construction Plans. When construction of park improvements and/or private parks is proposed, all amenities
shall be identified on the Subdivision Construction Plan or Site Development Plan, as applicable. Fiscal surety
in the amount equal to the Park Improvement Fee shall be provided prior to approval of Subdivision
Construction Plan or Site Development Plan, as applicable, for the park improvements on public Parkland.
Prior to acceptance of the public Parkland, the following conditions shall be met:
Land shall be in good condition, including the removal of all debris and dead plant materials, and utility
services, sidewalks and other public improvements installed. Any land disturbed by activities not related
to park development shall be restored and the soil stabilized in a method approved by the Parks and
Recreation Director in accordance with the requirements of this Code.
Parkland Development Fee shall be paid. When construction of improvements on the public parkland is
approved, park improvements shall be constructed and accepted by the City at the time of acceptance of
all other public improvements, when required, or final site inspection.
Prior to recordation of the Final Plat, the following conditions shall be met:
Land accepted for dedication under the requirements of this Section shall be conveyed by warranty deed,
transferring the property in fee simple to the City of Georgetown, Texas, and shall be free and clear of
any mortgages or liens at the time of such conveyance.
A copy of the warranty deed and other Parkland dedication documents as outlined in the Development
Manual shall be provided to the Parks and Recreation Director.
When financial contribution in lieu of dedication of public Parkland is approved as meeting the requirements
of this Section, no Final Plat may be recorded or Site Development Plan approved, as applicable, until payment

projects have been put on hold.
Katherine Kainer said she liked that the city kept employees working. A visitor asked about if
numbers, COVID-19 numbers, go up if there will be closures again and if there is any tracking
being done on the people at the recreation center. Additionally, Katherine Kainer asked if there

Page 20 of 22

Legislative Regular Agenda
G Consideration and possible action to recommend approval of the Parks 5 Year Capital
Improvement Plan - Kimberly Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director
Kimberly Garrett explained the items in the 5 – year Capital Improvement Plan and stated that
City Council has the final approval after staff and the city manager’s office compile the
information. For the current year the Parks ADA Transition Plan is moving forward and the rest
of the projects are on hold which include San Gabriel Park Phase III Design, Region Trail
Extension, Neighborhood Park Development, Parks Master Plan, Tennis Center Pool Demo.
She explained the 2008 Park Bond and that a $35.5 million park bond was approved by voters in
November 2008 and $22.6 million has been issued to date with a remaining $12.8 million. The
Proposed Parks 5-year CIP grid was shown but is sparse due to not having a Parks Masterplan.
The proposed Parks CIP FY2021 is to continue the ADA transition plan and ask for money for
all deferred projects. The presentation she gave will go to City Council Workshop on June 23,
2020.
Katherine Kainer stated a silver lining from the COVID-19 response to park usage is we might
get good feedback for the Master Plan.
