Applicant’s Request
The applicant proposes to develop 25.62 acres as 21 residential lots, located at the end of existing
Highland Spring Lane.
Site Information
Location:
This property is located southwest of R.M. 2338 and west of Jim Hogg Road. (See Exhibit 1)
Physical Characteristics:
The 25.62-acre tract is undeveloped and sparsely treed with no Heritage Trees.
History
Snow Woods, Phase 1 was approved by the City of Georgetown and recorded on March 15, 2006.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed Preliminary Plat is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Low
Density Residential, which applies to neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density between
1.1 and 3 dwelling units per gross acre.
Planning Department Staff Report
Snow Woods, Phases 2 & 3, Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 3
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 2 lies outside the city limits, but within the
City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). This area likely will be needed to serve the city’s growth
needs over the next 10-20 years.
Utilities
Utilities are provided to this property by Pedernales Electric, Chisholm Trail SUD and on-site septic.
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 access to this project is provided via Jim Hogg Road. The future development of this
subdivision will provide connectivity to R.M. 2338.
Future Application(s)
The following applications will be required to be submitted:
• Final Plat is to be processed administratively;
• Construction Plans will be processed administratively;
Staff Analysis
Snow Woods, Phase 1 continues Highland Spring Lane from the exiting Woods of Fountainwood,
Phase 2. The continuation of Highland Spring Lane with Phases 2 & 3 will extend access a step
closer to connecting to R.M. 2338 and provide a highly desirable future access to this entire area.
For example, Fountainwood, a large residential development to the south and west, is dependent on
the current single access point at Jim Hogg Road and R.M. 2338. A second access point would
provide the desired access that ensures better emergency response to this large area.
Planning Department Staff Report

Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested rezoning of 6.36-acres from Residential Single-family (RS) District to
Public Facility (PF) District for the continued church use.
The church is proposing to make modifications to their approved Site Plan and would like to bring their
site into greater compatibility with City ordinances. While church use is allowed in the RS District, the
City has added a PF zoning district that provides standards more appropriate to civic uses such as
schools, public parks, hospitals, airports, government offices, churches and other related uses.
Therefore a rezoning from RS District to PF District is being requested as it is deemed desirable for the
long-term use of the property.
Site Information
Location:
This property is located at the intersection of Golden Oaks Drive and Airport Road. (See Exhibit 1)
Physical Characteristics:
The 6.36-acre tract is located adjacent to a significant drainage way that impacts the north portion of
their property. The site is developed with a church facility with moderate tree coverage.

Property History
In 1987 the City annexed the property by Ordinance #870403. At that time, the initial zoning district
assigned to annexed property was Residential Single-family (RS) District. A phased Site Plan for the
church construction was approved in 2006 with a Revised Site Plan approved in 2010.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Specialty Mixed-
Use Area. This category envisions a well-planned center designed to integrate a variety of
complementary uses. These centers may include civic facilities and green spaces. This particular
property is located on the outskirts of the Specialty Mixed-Use Area, along a large open space corridor
and the proposed use is consistent with the civic nature anticipated for the Specialty Mixed-Use Area
category.
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A, is that portion of the city where
Planning & Development Staff Report
Church on the Rock, Rezoning, RS to PF Page 3 of 4
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 Public Facilities (PF) 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 other related uses. 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.
The Unified Development Code, Chapter 5.03.010, identifies the Religious Assembly Use Category as
allowed within all zoning districts with the exception of Manufactured Home (MH) District and
Industrial (IN) District with the following limitations:
1. Any outdoor recreational playing field shall be set back 50 feet from any property line.
2. The principal vehicular entrance and exit shall be located on a collector-level street or
higher.
The proposed rezoning is in compliance with the limitations noted above.
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
Access to this site on Golden Oaks Drive is provided via Airport Road from the IH-35 frontage road. A
Traffic Impact Analysis was not required with this application as they do not exceed the average daily
trips requiring a study.
Future Application(s)
The following applications will be required to be submitted:
• No additional application are required in relation to this rezoning.
Staff Analysis
Staff is supportive of the requested PF for the following reasons:
1. The Future Land Use designation of Specialty Mixed-Use Area as approved by City Council for
this particular area supports the proposed civic development of the church.
2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily Residential Single-family, and
General Commercial. The limitations placed on Religious Assembly are being met by this
applicant.
3. The surrounding developed uses include residential, undeveloped land and commercial uses.
Staff is supportive of the proposed rezoning as the existing use is compatible and consistent with the
Future Land Use Plan of civic uses and open space that would include church use.

IN to C-3
Property History
The property was platted in 1994 (Knuckle Down Subdivision, Document No. 1994022670) and annexed
in 1987 (Annexation Ordinance 87-0407). The property was rezoned in 1994, from Residential Single-
family (RS) District [from the annexation] to the Industrial (IN) District. The exact date of the initial
development of the property (Candle Factory) is unknown.
2030 Plan Conformance
Land Use:
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan future land use designations (see Exhibit 1).
Generally, the Regional Commercial (RC) category applies to large concentrations of commercial uses that
serve or draw a regional market, such as major shopping centers, stand alone big-box retail, tourist
attractions, and auto-oriented commercial uses that rely on the convenient accesss of major transportation
routes and highway interchanges. The large landholding to the east is expected to become a regional draw
for a variety of uses.
Growth Tier:
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 General Commercial (C-3) District is intended to provide a location for general commercial and retail
activities that serve the entire community and its visitors. Uses may be large in scale and generate
substantial traffic, making the C-3 District only appropriate along freeways and major arterials. The
District is appropriate in areas planned as Community Commercial, Regional Commercial or Employment
Center, generally, or based on specific site circumstances. The C-3 District has a minimum district size
Planning Department Staff Report
Jimmy Jacobs Building - Rezoning Page 3 of 3
IN to C-3
requirement of 5 acres; this 2.34 acre property would join the C-3 District on the west side of Interstate 35
to create a 12.2 acre District.
Utilities
Water and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown; the site is dual-served for electricity by the
City and TXU. There are no anticipated issues with providing utilities based on the development standards
of the proposed district.
Transportation
Currently, the only access to this property is from the northbound frontage road. Future access is possible
when the properties surrounding it are eventually developed. Frontage road improvements, and future
enlargement of the Southeast Inner Loop will improve access to the site.
Future Application(s)
Should further development occur on the site, the following applications will be required to be submitted:
• Site Plan / Construction Plan for commercial development;
• Building permits for construction;
• Certificates of Occupancy.
Staff Analysis
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning for the following reasons:
1. The Future Land Use designation of Regional Commercial supports the proposed district.
2. The existing zoning situation of the property limits potential future tenants of an additional office
building should it be constructed.
3. The surrounding properties are mostly undeveloped, with Industrial and General Commercial zoning
nearby, and ETJ further to the east.

*The use of the surrounding properties pre-exists annexation and zoning of those properties, making them
legal nonconforming as to use.
Planning Department Staff Report
Whisper Oaks HOA Lot - Rezoning Page 2 of 3
RS to MF-1
Property History
The property was platted in 1983 (Whisper Oaks, Document No. 830009384) and annexed in 1987. The
plat notes Block A, Lot 2 as a “proposed amenities lot”. The exact date of development is unknown.
2030 Plan Conformance
Land Use:
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan future land use designations (see Exhibit 1).
Generall, the Moderate Density Residential (MDR) category prescribes a residential density ranging
between 3.1 and 6 dwelling units per gross acre; the surrounding development is slightly denser than that.
Lot 2 is limited in its development potential by its size, the drainage easement, and large amount/location
of trees (yet to surveyed to determine qualifications as either Heritage or Protected trees).
Growth Tier:
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 Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) District is intended for attached and detached multifamily residential
development, such as apartments, condominiums, triplexes, and fourplexes, at a density not to exceed 14
dwelling units per acre. The District is appropriate in areas planned as High Density Residential or Mixed
Use, but may be appropriate in the Moderate Density Residential area based on location, surrounding uses,
and infrastructure impacts.

RS to MF-1
Utilities
Electric, water, and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown; there are no anticipated issues with
providing utilities based on the development standards of the proposed district.
Transportation
The only access to this property will be from Whisper Oaks Drive, which is of adequate size and level of
service to support development permitted by the proposed District. Should it be redeveloped, the exact
location will be determined during the Site Plan review process.
Future Application(s)
The following applications will be required to be submitted:
• Site Plan / Construction Plan for multifamily development;
• Building permits for construction;
• Certificates of Occupancy.
Staff Analysis
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning for the following reasons:
1. The Future Land Use designation of Moderate Density Residential, at this location and with the
surrounding existing development, supports the proposed district.
2. The existing zoning situation of the property and the rest of the Homeowners Association is from the
point of annexation of those properties, and creates a Legal Nonconforming situation as to zoning.
The proposed district, and development similar to that of the surrounding properties, would make this
property the only one where the use is permitted by the zoning district.
3. The surrounding development consists of multifamily uses at densities supported by the proposed
MF-1 district.
