SUBJECT:
Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning of 1.485 acres in the Flores Survey, Tract 24,
from the Residential Single-family (RS) District to the General Commercial (C-3) District,
located at 2524 North Austin Avenue, known as the Kuehne Property. REZ-2014-016 (Mike
Elabarger)
ITEM SUMMARY:
Background: The applicant has requested to rezone the property from the Residential Single-
family (RS) District to the General Commercial (C-3) District. The Future Land Use designation
of the property is Community Commercial, which supports the General Commercial District,
especially given the location of the property between IH-35 and Austin Avenue, and the adjacent
zoning districts and existing land uses. The property will join the existing, adjacent General
Commercial zoning district to the north, creating a General Commercial zoning district of greater
than five (5) acres.
Public Comments: No written comments have been received.
Recommended Motion: Recommend to City Council approval of the request to rezone the
property from the Residential Single-family (RS) District to the General Commercial (C-3)
District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. The applicant has paid the required fees.

Item Details
Project Name: Kuehne Property
Project Address: 2524 North Austin Avenue
Location: West side of Austin Avenue, south of Central Texas Powersports, just north of the
Old Airport Road/Stadium Drive intersection with Austin Avenue. (See Exhibit 1)
Total Acreage: 1.458 acres
Legal Description: 1.458 acres in the Flores Survey, Tract 24
Applicant: Emily Kuehne
Property Owner: Emily Kuehne (Kuehne Heating and A/C, Inc.)
Contact: Emily Kuehne
Existing Use: Legal Nonconforming industrial and automotive uses within multiple buildings
Existing Zoning: Residential Single-family (RS)
Proposed Zoning: General Commercial (C-3)
Future Land Use: Community Commercial
Growth Tier: Tier 1A
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the property from the Residential Single-family (RS) District to
General Commercial (C-3) District, which will enlarge the existing C-3 District encompassing the adjacent
(north) 4.6 acre property (Central Texas Powersports). The Future Land Use designation for this area is
Community Commercial, and the proposed district is consistent with that category, especially given the
Austin Avenue frontage (and IH-35 to the rear) and adjacent uses and land development patterns.
Site Information
Location:
The property is located on North Austin Avenue, north of the intersection of Old Airport Road and
Stadium Drive, south of the Lakeway Boulevard / Northeast Inner Loop intersection. See Exhibits 1 and 2.
Physical Characteristics:
The property was developed prior to annexation (1987), with the lot, site, several buildings and established
uses being ‘legal nonconforming’ when annexed.
Surrounding Properties:
The surrounding properties include office and retail uses on properties zoned Local and General
Commercial (C-1 and C-3). (See Exhibits 1 & 2)

Planning Department Staff Report
Kuehne Property - Rezoning Page 2 of 3
RS to C-3
Property History
The property was annexed into the City in 1987 (Ordinance 87-0407). Exact dates of the development of
the features currently on the property are unknown. According to the applicant, at the time of annexation
the property owner was residing on the property and operating a heating and air conditioning company as
well as an auto repair shop.
2030 Plan Conformance
Land Use:
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Community
Commercial, supporting commercial and retail uses appropriate for a property bounded by an interstate and
major arterial roadway. The surrounding development pattern is very similar, much of which has zoning
that supports the existing uses (many of which were established prior to annexation like this particular
property).
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A, which is 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 Districts
The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject property to the General Commercial (C-3) District which
provides for areas of general commercial and retail activities that serve the entire community and its
visitors, and is most appropriate along freeways and major arterials such as Austin Avenue.
Planning Department Staff Report
Kuehne Property - Rezoning Page 3 of 3
RS to C-3
Utilities
The property is served by the City of Georgetown for water, wastewater, and electric services, and there are
no capacity or ability to serve issues.
Transportation
The subject property has approximately 105 feet of frontage on Austin Avenue, and has no access to
Interstate 35 to the west (there currently is no frontage road in that vicinity).
Future Application(s)
If any physical changes to the property, or changes in use, are proposed in the future, the following
applications may be required to be submitted:
• Legal Lot verification;
• Subdivision Platting if not deemed a legal lot (exempt from platting);
• Site Plans for new non-residential development (administrative).
Staff Analysis
The Unified Development Code (UDC), in Table 7.03.020, requires a District minimum size of 5 acres for
General Commercial (C-3). The subject property, at 1.458 acres, will join the existing C-3 district adjacent
to the north (a 4.6186 acre property) to create a “district” of C-3 greater than 5 acres, in keeping with the
UDC requirement.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning for the following reasons:
1. The Future Land Use designation of Community Commercial supports the proposed district.
2. The existing zoning and use pattern of the surrounding area matches that of the proposed districts.
3. The unique physical constraint of the property – 105’ wide and 800’ long – limits the future
development potential and uses that could operate on this property, limiting the potential negative
impacts of certain uses or development standards that could occur with the zoning.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
None
Public Comments
A total of 7 notices were sent out to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed rezoning. Public
notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on August 3rd, 2014. As of the writing of this report, no written
comments had been received.
