Property History
The subject property was annexed into the City by two actions. The first annexation was in
1995 by Ordinance #95-34 and the second was in 2008 by Ordinance #2008-86.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of
Moderate Density Residential, which is intended to accommodate a density ranging between
3.1 and 6 dwelling units per gross acre.
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B; the area within the present city limits,
surrounding Tier 1A that is generally under-served by infrastructure and where such service
and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth needs of the city once Tier 1A
approaches build-out over the next ten years.
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. The RS District contains standards for development
that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics.
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.
Planning Department Staff Report
Highcrest Meadows Rezoning Page 3 of 4
AG to RS
Transportation
The access to this project is provided by Churchill Farms Boulevard that will continue the
collector level road through this development to provide a future connection to University
Park Drive and Summercrest Boulevard.
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 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 Moderate Density Residential supports the
proposed increase to the development of single family residential.
2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily undeveloped
land zoned AG, residential properties zoned RS, and St. Helen’s Catholic Church
Planning Department Staff Report
Highcrest Meadows Rezoning Page 4 of 4
AG to RS
with multiple zoning districts of RS, C-1, and MF.
3. The surrounding developed uses include a church campus, residences and large
undeveloped land tracts.
Additionally, this tract links the residential area to the east (Georgetown Crossing) with a
future connection to University Park II and Summercrest Subdivision providing the
desired connectivity for this area.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments

Applicant’s Request
The applicant proposes to replat Wilderness Estates, an unimproved subdivision of 4
lots, platted in 1987 outside of the City’s jurisdiction. The applicant has reconfigured
the subdivision to respond to the current market, providing 21 residential lots ranging
in size from one to two acres.
Site Information
Location:
The property is located on the west side of Russell Park Road (County Road 262),
northwest of Russell Park (Corp of Engineers).
Planning Department Staff Report
Wilderness Estates, Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3
Physical Characteristics:
The property is undeveloped land, although it does have a recorded plat. There are no
Heritage trees on the property, and it is located in the Extra-territorial Jurisdiction of the
city.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed plat is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Low
Density Residential. This land use category comprises single family neighborhoods that can
be accommodated at a density ranging between 1.1 and 3 dwelling units per gross acre.
This project is located within Tier 3 consisting of the most remote portions of the city’s
ETJ, an area of land that will likely not be needed to meet the city’s growth needs for the
next twenty years.
Utilities
Utilities will be provided by Pedernales Electric, Chisholm Trail SUD for water and on-
site septic. Public utility easements are being dedicated with this plat according to the
City of Georgetown standards.
Transportation
This development will be accessed by Wilderness Trail from Russell Park Road (C.R.
262). Direct access to Russell Park Road by lots backing up to this road will be
prohibited.
Future Application(s)
A Final Plat application will be processed administratively.
Staff Analysis
Staff Recommendation and Basis:
Staff supports the Preliminary Plat as it meets all of the requirements of the City’s
Unified Development Code.
Special Consideration:
None
Planning Department Staff Report
Wilderness Estates, Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 3
Interdepartmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
None
Public Comments
Although this is a replat of a residential subdivision, no notices were sent out since no lots
from the original subdivision are under separate ownership from the applicant. Public
notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on October 20, 2013 in accordance with Texas LGC
§212.015. As of the writing of this report, no comments have been received.

A total of twenty-two (22) notices were sent out to the owners of property within 200 feet of the
subject property. Public notice was posted in the Williamson County Sun newspaper on October
20, 2013. As of the day of this report, no written comments have been submitted.
Recommended Motion:
Recommend to the City Council approval of the Rezoning of Dalrymple Addition, Block A, Lot
1-2 (PTS) and Dalrymple Addition, Block A, Lot 5-6, 1-2 (PTS) from the Multifamily (MF)
District to the Residential Single-Family (RS) District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The required application fee has been paid.

Future Land Use: Moderate Density Residential (MDR)
Growth Tier: Tier 1A (Developed/Re-developing Growth Area)
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant seeks to rezone the property from the Multifamily (MF) District to Residential
Single-Family (RS) District.
Site Information
Property History:
According to City records, the property was annexed into the City in 1890. The existing
Multifamily (MF) zoning was approved in 2004 (Ordinance 2004-51) with an associated
Comprehensive Plan Amendment; the property was never developed as intended.
Location:
The two properties together span between Hart and Timber Streets, in the first block south of
West University Avenue (S.H. 29), in the middle of the 1200 block (between 13th Street and
University Avenue, which otherwise would be referred to as 12th Street). See Exhibit 1 –
Location Map.
Physical Characteristics / Surrounding Properties:
The lots are undeveloped and essentially flat, with several trees that will require a tree survey
when developed. An Autozone retail store exists immediately north of both lots. The other
Planning Department Staff Report
Hart-Timber Streets Rezoning Page 2 of 5
surrounding properties are residentially developed or vacant. See the chart below and
Exhibits 3 & 4 – Zoning and Aerial maps.
Utilities
All areas of the City and ETJ are placed within a Growth Tier policy category that identifies
where to stage contiguous, compact, and incremental growth over a period of the next two
decades or more. These Tiers dictate where the delivery of municipal services may be focused,
and thus, where growth is desired. This property is in Tier 1A, which comprises areas within
the current city limits where some infrastructure systems are in place, can be economically
provided and/or will be proactively extended, and where consolidation of the city’s
development pattern is encouraged over the next 10 years through the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
The site is within the City water, wastewater, and electric services area; based on the
development allowed within the zoning district, there is adequate capacity to serve the
property.
Transportation
Both Hart and Timber Streets are local streets; Hart measures approxitamely 28 feet of asphalt
in an approximately 65-foot right-of-way, while Timber has approximately 24 feet of asphalt
within an approximately 53-foot right-of-way. Thirteenth Street creates a “T” intersection
with the Hart Street lot, and there is a sidewalk within the right-of-way on the west side of
this lot; see Exhibit 4, Aerial Map. If developed with a single residence on each lot, each lot
would gain a driveway access onto their respective streets; the location of which would be
reviewed and approved through the building permit process.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
The property is designated with the Future Land Use category designation of Moderate
Density Residential (MDR), which supports single-family uses. See Exhibit 2.
Existing Zoning District
The existing zoning of Multifamily occurred in 2004, where it was rezoned from the
Residential Single-family (RS) District in concert with a (referred to at the time) Intensity Plan
amendment associated with the Century Plan to increase the Intensity Plan from a Level 3 to a
Level 4. This Intensity Plan revision was approved by City Council after the MF rezoning
Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use
North C-1 – Local Commercial Moderate Density Residential (MDR) Commercial/retail
East RS – Residential Single-
family Moderate Density Residential (MDR) Residential
South RS – Residential Single-

West OF - Office Moderate Density Residential (MDR) Residential
Planning Department Staff Report
Hart-Timber Streets Rezoning Page 3 of 5
approval. It’s noted that, prior to that applicant’s successful rezoning to the MF District, the
property was denied a rezoning request to the Office (OF) District; an associated Intensity Plan
increase from Level 3 to Level 4, and Future Land Use Plan change from Residential to
Office/Services, was denied along with that OF zoning request.
Proposed Zoning District
The applicant seeks to rezone the property to the Residential Single-family (RS) District, which
is described in the Unified Development Code (UDC) as:
The Residential Single-Family District (RS) is intended for areas of medium density with a
minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet. The RS District contains standards for development that
maintain Single-family neighborhood characteristics. The District may be located within
proximity of neighborhood-friendly commercial and public services and protected from
incompatible uses. All housing types in the RS District shall use the lot, dimensional and design
standards of the District.
Section 6.03.050 of the UDC contains the lot and dimensional standards that will govern
development in this District. Setbacks are 20’ front, 10’ rear, and 6’ side; building height is
capped at 35’; impervious coverage limitations (per Section 11.02) of 45% per lot apply.
Subdivision History
The property legal description is lots within the Dalrymple Addition, Block A (see page 1).
The Dalrymple Addition dates to 1879 (see excerpt below). At some point in the past, Lots 1
and 2 were combined, as were Lots 5 and 6, creating the lots observed today as 1301 Hart and
1218 Timber Streets; see highlights below. The Legal Lot Verification process will be
completed by the applicant before any Building Permits can be issued (Section 3.08.010(D.)).
Planning Department Staff Report
Hart-Timber Streets Rezoning Page 4 of 5
Future Application(s)
The property will be limited to the permitted uses and subject to the regulations in Section
5.02.010 of the UDC. The applicant has indicated they will likely do an Amending Plat to
make both lots similarly sized. Following that, building permits would be necessary for
residential development.
Staff Analysis
Staff reviewed and analyzed this application for the RS District according to the following
criteria, resulting in a position of support for the application:
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
The immediate surroundings, minus the commercial use and zoning immediately to the north
(Autozone) is single-family structures zoned RS. The Residential Single-family (RS) zoning
district is appropriate for lots in this neighborhood that are not contiguous to University
Avenue. This zoning will be complimentary to the residential uses that exist all around it.
Utilities
As noted, for residential development permitted in the proposed zoning district, the lot is
ready to be served by City water, wastewater, and electric utilities.
Findings for Approval
The rezoning request is supported by Staff for the following reasons:
1. Future Land Use Map – The property is within the Moderate Density Residential (MDR)
land use category, which supports the proposed RS zoning district uses.
2. Adjacent Zoning Districts – The surrounding zoning west, south, and east is Residential
Single-family (RS), with Local Commercial (C-1) zoning on the properties that front on
University Avenue (S.H. 29). The proposed RS zoning downzones these lots from a more
intense residential zoning (MF, Multifamily) and becomes consistent with the zoning of the
residential properites surrounding them.
3. Surrounding Uses – Like the surrounding zoning, the properties west, south, and east are
all residentially developed, and consistent with the MDR land use category.
NOTE: Though done in the past, the City no longer considers or approves the “conditional”
rezoning of properties, and therefore, cannot rezone the property for any specific use(s), or
concept plan, presented by an applicant. Likewise, no specific development features such as
distance buffers, walls, or additional landscaping can be associated with, or tied to, this
rezoning decision. Staff must consider the impact of all the permitted uses in the requested
Residential Single-family (RS) district – and the associated standards of development within
the UDC for those uses - when evaluating a rezoning request.
