Legal Description: River Hills, Section One, Block A, Lots 18 (Npt) and 19 Applicant: Troy Hellman, Elkhorn Development, LLC Property Owner: Troy Hellman, Elkhorn Development, LLC Contact: Troy Hellman, Elkhorn Development, LLC Existing Use: Office use Existing Zoning: Local Commercial (C-1) and Residential Single-family (RS) Districts Proposed Zoning: Office (OF) District Future Land Use: Office use Growth Tier: Tier 1A Overview of Applicant’s Request The applicant has requested to rezone River Hills, Section One, Block A, Lots 18 (Npt) and 19, from Local Commercial (C-1) and Residential Single-family (RS) Districts to Office (OF) District for the development of additional office space. Site Information Location: This property is located at the intersection of IH35 frontage road and River Hills Drive. (See Exhibit 1) Physical Characteristics: The property is currently developed with two previously existing structures that were converted from retail use to office use. An LCRA transmission line and easement transverse the northeast corner of this lot. Planning Department Staff Report River Hills Rezoning Page 2 of 5 C-1 & RS to OF Surrounding Properties: The surrounding properties include residential, a office and commercial development. (See Exhibit 4) Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use North C-1, Local Commercial Low Density Residential Commercial multi-tenant (office & commercial uses) South RS, Residential Single- family Specialty Mixed Use Area Williamson County Baptist Association offices East IH35 Freeway Low Density Residential Freeway West RS, Residential Single- family Low Density Residential Rivers Hills Subdivision, large lot residential and undeveloped land (See Exhibits 2 and 3) Planning Department Staff Report River Hills Rezoning Page 3 of 5 C-1 & RS to OF Property History The subject property was annexed into the City in 1986 by Ordinance #86-57 with an initial Zoning District of RS. A rezoning from RS to C-1 was approved by City Council on September 9, 1987 by Ordinance #870388. A Special Exception was approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on January 5, 2012 for reduced parking and to allow parking directly accessed from River Hills Drive to remain until redeveloped. A Special Exception was approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on December 18, 2012 to allow the parking directly accessed from River Hills Drive to remain with redevelopment. A Variance was approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on December 18, 2012 to allow parking in the rear setback up to 10 feet from the rear property line. An Amending Plat is being processed by separate application to combine the north part of Lot 18 with Lot 19. The north part being an 8,475 square foot parcel separated from Lot 18 by deed in 1984, that is now being added to Lot 19 by Amending Plat. 2030 Plan Conformance The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential, which is intended to accommodate a range of non-residential uses that would include the requested office use. The site location at the intersection of River Hills Drive and the IH35 Freeway increases the appropriateness of this request. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A; that portion of the city where infrastructure systems are in place, or can be economically provided and where the bulk of the city’s growth should be guided over the near term. Proposed Zoning District The Office (OF) District is intended to provide for offices and related uses. Small areas of the OF District may be appropriate adjacent to most residential uses and as a transition between residential areas and commercial areas. The requested rezoning from C-1 District in Lot 19 and a small area of RS District in Lot 18 is an overall reduction in the allowed uses for this area. And it is considered a more compatible transition adjacent to the residential use to the West. While the OF District does allow an increase of ten feet in building height, this is considered appropriate particularly when taken into context with the location of the site at the intersection with the IH35 Freeway. Utilities Electric, water, and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown. The site is currently on OSSF but will be connecting to the Georgetown wastewater line with redevelopment. It is Planning Department Staff Report River Hills Rezoning Page 4 of 5 C-1 & RS to OF anticipated that there is adequate capacity to serve this property either by existing capacity or developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure. Transportation The access to this project is provided by the IH35 frontage road. The City Engineer reviewed the proposed office use and determined that the traffic generated by a typical office use and the existing traffic demand in this area is minimal. Future Application(s) The following applications will be required to be submitted: · Amending Final Plat is currently being processed administratively; · Site Plan will be processed administratively; and · Building permits for construction. Staff Analysis Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning for the following reasons: 1. The Future Land Use designation of Low Density Residential supports the proposed office use particularly when considering its location at the intersection of the IH35 Freeway. 2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily C-1 and OF along the IH35 frontage road in this area. 3. The surrounding developed uses include a church association office, a commercial multi-tenant building and residential properties to the west. Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments None Public Comments A total of 5 notices were sent out to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed rezoning. Public notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on January 5, 2014. As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received.

Previous Preliminary Plat approvals have expired. A new Preliminary Plat application will be processed by separate application. 2030 Plan Conformance The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Moderate Density Residential, prividing for a density ranging between 3.1 and 6 dwelling units per gross acre, Open Space that will encompass the San Gabriel River corridor, and Community Commercial that would allow retail, professional office and service-oriented business activities for neighborhood-serving commercial as well as larger retail uses. The 2030 Plan land use designations are compatible with the proposed residential subdivision, parkland and Local Commercial (C-1) District uses. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A, that portion of the city where infrastructure systems are in place, or can be economically provided and where the bulk of the city’s growth should be guided over the near term. Proposed Zoning District The Residential Single Family (RS) District is intended for areas of medium density with a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet and contains standards that maintain the single-family neighborhood characteristics. The Local Commercial (C-1) District provides for areas of commercial and retail activities that primarily serve residential areas.

Existing Use: Undeveloped land Existing Zoning: Agriculture (AG) District Proposed Zoning: Planned Unit Development (PUD) with Residential Single-family Base District Future Land Use: Moderate Density Residential and Mixed Use Community Growth Tier: Tier 1B Overview of Applicant’s Request The applicant has requested a 29.079-acre PUD to be developed with approximately 95 residential lots. The proposed PUD standards are consistent with the previous Georgetown Village PUD and with the provisions outlined in the Georgetown Village Concept Plan. The requested PUD includes exceptions that are generally consistent with various past sections of the development and includes standards for impervious coverage, building setbacks, masonry, street and utility assignment detail, sidewalks, residential fencing, street design, parkland, and garages as described in the attached Development Plan. (Exhibit 5) Site Information Location: This property is located north of the intersection of Shell Road and Sycamore Street. (See Exhibit 1) Planning & Development Staff Report The Arbors at Georgetown Village, PUD Rezoning Page 2 of 5 AG to PUD with RS base District Physical Characteristics: The development extends the existing Georgetown Village community to the north from Sycamore Street and Westbury Lane. (See Exhibit 4) Surrounding Properties: The surrounding properties include residential and undeveloped properties. (See Exhibit 3) Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use North Extra-territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) (within Georgetown Village Concept Plan) Moderate Density Residential Undeveloped land South Georgetown Village PUD with RS Base District Moderate Density Residential and Mixed Use Community Georgetown Village East ETJ (within Georgetown Village Concept Plan) Moderate Density Residential and Mixed Use Community Undeveloped land West Georgetown Village PUD with RS Base District Moderate Density Residential Undeveloped land (See Exhibits 2 and 3) Property History Georgetown Village was approved as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with the original Concept Plan, last revised in March 2000. PUDs were allowed as an alternative form of Subdivision under the Subdivision Regulations (Section 29010) in effect at the time of the Concept Plan approval. This process allowed for deviations from the applicable development standards to provide for design flexibility. These alternative standards are memorialized on the approved plats. With the adoption of the Unified Development Code in 2003 a Planned Unit Development procedure was established in Section 4.06. The primary difference between these two processes is that the prior procedure was a subdivision action that addressed the first five sections, with the more recent processed as a zoning action. Throughout the life of this development the process for establishing the standards has varied, but most recently the PUD standards have been established in a Development Plan attached to the PUD rezoning. The subject property was annexed by Ordinance 2013-52, is processing the required rezoning with this application, and is currently in the platting process by separate application. Planning & Development Staff Report The Arbors at Georgetown Village, PUD Rezoning Page 3 of 5 AG to PUD with RS base District 2030 Plan Conformance The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Moderate Density Residential, which is comprised of single family neighborhoods that can accommodate a moderately dense range of dwelling units per gross acres. The Mixed Use Community designation includes the residential component. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B which is the area within the present city limits, or is subject to a development agreement (in this case, a Concept Plan) with anticipated development within the next ten years. Proposed Zoning District The proposed PUD is consistent with recent sections of Georgetown Village development, providing continuity with the established development. The total area of the PUD is 29.079 acres that encompasses the proposed development area as well as floodplain. Reduced setbacks and street standards have been provided throughout Georgetown Village to accommodate a streetscape that creates a “village” or close neighborhood feel within each block. The proposed Parkland is being provided by dedication of 0.61 acres that will be developed and maintained by the Georgetown Village PID, based on prior agreements. This proposed dedication was approved by the Georgetown Parks and Recreation Board at the regularly scheduled meeting held on October 10, 2013. Numerous open/greenspace lots have been provided within this community for pedestrian convenience and neighborhood use. Sidewalks are also provided on all streets to increase the village and pedestrian friendly environment. Residential fencing styles are to be consistent with the Georgetown Village design standards of scalloped picket fencing. The proposed PUD is considered consistent and compatible with the existing sections of the Georgetown Village development and supportable by staff. Utilities Electric, water, and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown. It is anticipated that there is adequate capacity to serve this property either by existing capacity or developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure. Transportation The primary access to The Arbors at Georgetown Village will be by Shell Road with connectivity to Creekside at Georgetown Village to the northwest and to the north for future development. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be reviewed by the Development Engineer in connection with the platting process. Planning & Development Staff Report The Arbors at Georgetown Village, PUD Rezoning Page 4 of 5 AG to PUD with RS base District Future Application(s) The following applications will be required to be submitted: · Preliminary Plat to be considered by Planning and Zoning Commission; · Final Plat to be processed administratively; · Construction Plans to be processed administratively; and · Building permits for construction. Staff Analysis Staff is supportive of the requested PUD for the following reasons: 1. The Future Land Use designation of Moderate Density Residential and Mixed Use Community supports the proposed use. 2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily single family residential, floodplain and undeveloped land. 3. The surrounding developed uses, include single family residentially developed properties of Georgetown Village. 4. The application has proposed standards that are consistent with previous sections of Georgetown Village, maintaining consistency with the existing development. Staff is supportive of the proposed PUD rezoning for all of the reasons stated. Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments None Public Comments A total of 26 notices were sent out to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed rezoning. Public notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on January 5, 2014. As of the writing of this report, one letter of support has been received with comments requesting greenspace, greenspace behind lots fronting on Westbury, pocket parks and minimal loss of trees within this section.

City of Georgetown, Texas SUBJECT: Briefing of Case No. REZ-2013-015, a City-initiated zoning map amendment to remove the Williams Drive (F.M. 2338) Special Area Plan Overlay District (SP-WM) on the properties generally located on Williams Drive between Shannon Lane and Power Road within City Council District 2. ITEM SUMMARY: On September 24, 2013, the City of Georgetown City Council approved Resolution No. 092413-0 directing staff to initiate a zoning map amendment to remove the Williams Drive (F.M. 2338) Special Area Plan Overlay District (SP-WM) on the properties generally located on Williams Drive between Shannon Lane and Power Road. This rezoning case was initiated due to the existing conditions and current base zoning districts of the subject area, which have significantly changed from the intent of the development standards that have been in effect since 1986. The City has found that these regulations need to be updated to promote sound development of the area in accordance with the City's master plan. On December 5, 2013, City staff held a neighborhood meeting to provide information to the affected property owners and surrounding residents on the existing zoning districts and regulations that affect the subject area. A total of 25 business and property owners, residents, and city officials attended the meeting. Several issues were discussed including existing and proposed regulations, transportation, permitted uses, and potential impact to property values and taxes. Adjacent residents from outside of the overlay district expressed concerns to the proposed changes due to the existing single-family character of surrounding neighborhoods. Property and business owners within the subject area inquired on how the new regulations will affect the existing conditions of their properties, particularly in the event the properties are redeveloped. Notwithstanding the range and mix of feedback on the removal of the overlay district, it appears that the majority of the owners within that existing overlay district understand the need for change to accommodate future sound development along this major corridor. The property owners that are located within the existing overlay district ultimately carry the burden of complying with the regulations established in 1986 and therefore must be given due consideration. This rezoning case is scheduled for the February 4, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting for consideration and recommendation to City Council. This rezoning is the first in a series of steps the City will carry out to rehabilitate the Williams Drive corridor and meet the goals of the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The standard rezoning fee will be absorbed through the City's Management Services Division.
