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.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 3 of 8
The subject property was annexed into the City by Ordinance 2007-81 with the initial zoning
of Agriculture (AG) District.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Mixed
Use Community and Moderate Density Residential, which applies to areas that include
residential, retail and office uses integrated with open spaces.
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A (Developed, Redeveloping), which is
the 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 intent of the PUD is to provide a development that is consistent with the Georgetown
Village Concept Plan, Mixed-Use Development that included retail, office, civic and
residential uses. The development proposes to incorporate a mixed of senior housing options
including independent living, assisted living and a memory care facility, commercial, civic and
3.4 acres of open space with a public easement in lieu of parkland dedication.
The following is a Summary of the exceptions included within the PUD:
Height: The height of the buildings in Georgetown Village Center PUD will be consistent
with the C-1 District limit of 35-feet with the exception of a portion of the Senior Living project
that is proposed to increase the height allowance by 10 feet for a maximum of 45 feet. This
portion of the project that will reach 45-feet will be centrally located, more than 120-feet from
any residential property as depicted below outlined in red.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 4 of 8
Setbacks: The Georgetown Village Concept Plan encourages a compact community that
promotes a pedestrian environment. The private internal roadway will have 10-foot setbacks,
but will maintain the 25-foot setback from the future right-of-way along Shell Road with
parking allowed within the setback. Additionally, the PUD will create a 25-foot setback from
the existing residential properties the full length of the north and south property line adjacent
to the residential uses. The commercial lots adjacent to the residential alley will provide a
commercial to residential buffer yard (landscaping) within the 25-foot setback with no
commercial access from the adjacent alleys.
Parking: The Georgetown Village Center PUD meets the parking minimum and is subject to
additional landscaping to accommodate the parking spaces over the minimum required.
Signage: A Master Sign Plan has been provided in order to address the configuration of the
site, mix of uses and adequate way-finding signs.
Building Design: There has been no defined non-residential architectural style within
Georgetown Village; therefore the proposed Georgetown Village Center is designed with a
regionally consistent and appropriate hill-country architectural flavor. The materials
proposed include stucco, limestone, board and batten siding with standing seam metal, and
asphalt roofing with modified percentages and locations as detailed in the Development Plan
and shown below. The design of the senior living facility proposes multiple smaller buildings
to preserve the Village character of the master plan.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 5 of 8
For the senior living portion of the PUD, internal courtyards will be provided in lieu of
outdoor spaces and the entryways will include landscaped areas, porte-cocheres and covered
walkways. Due to design criteria for assisted living and memory care developments the
design of the exterior of the building will provide articulation through varying building
heights, materials and architectural features as depicted above.
Uses: All uses currently permitted in the C-1 base district shall be permitted within the PUD,
with mitigation for other considerations within the PUD, provided through the following
prohibited uses:
· Dance Hall/Night Club
· Micro Brewery/Winery
· Live Music/Entertainment
· Funeral Home
· Car Wash
· Parking Lot, Off-site
· Parking Lot, Commercial
· Park-n-Ride
· Private Transportation Service Dispatch Facility
· Utility Services, Major
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 6 of 8
· Wireless Transmission Facilities (40’ or less)
· Wireless Transmission Facilities (over 40’)
Impervious Coverage: The maximum allowable impervious cover according to the
Georgetown Village Concept Plan for this tract is 90 percent. In order to preserve the
maximum amount of trees, provide expanded open spaces and provide buffering from
surrounding single family uses, the maximum impervious coverage amounts within the
Georgetown Village Center PUD are as follows:
· Tract 1 - 10%
· Tract 2 - 10%
· Tract 3 - 60%
· Tract 4 - 70%
· Tract 5 - 90%
· Tract 6 - 90%
The overall impervious coverage of the Georgetown Village Center PUD is 65 percent.
Open Space/Parkland: The project will provide approximately 3.4 acres of open space to be
utilized as a public park, and maintained by the owner of the senior living facility. A
presentation was made to the Parks and Recreation Board at their March 13, 2014 meeting and
approved for this PUD. Minutes of the meeting are attached as Exhibit E and incorporated
into this PUD.
The development of Tracts 1 and 2 as open space/parkland will provide a passive use public
area for the community and residents. Elements of this area will include decomposed granite
trails, seating areas, a shade pavilion, grassland plantings, educational signage and ample
open space. There will be a mix of manicured landscape and natural areas of native
grasslands. (See Exhibit G)
Trees/Landscape: The PUD is not subject to the Heritage Tree ordinance, however, the
applicant is proposing to mitigate for PUD considerations by preserving 13 Heritage Trees
and saving 1,700 inches of existing trees as depicted in Exhibit F. A Landscape Plan was
provided that focuses landscape enhancement on the entry along Shell Road and Village
Commons Boulevard. As it has been previously noted, a buffer yard will be provided
between the commercial/civic lots along Shell Road and the residential lots to the north and
south. This buffer is not typically required when an existing alley separation exists.
Roads: The proposed PUD will provide for connectivity with the extension of Greenside Lane
through the property as well as connecting to Shell Road. The private roads will provide
public access easements to meet the intent of connectivity within the project.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 7 of 8
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
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be reviewed by the Development Engineer in connection
with the platting process as required with the Georgetown Village Concept Plan. The
connectivity with Greenside Lane will be provided by a private internal roadway connection
maintained by the senior residential facility.
Future Application(s)
The following applications are required:
· Preliminary Plat to be considered by Planning and Zoning Commission;
· Final Plat to be processed administratively;
· Site Plans and Construction Plans, for each lot, to be processed administratively;
· Building permits for construction; and
· Certificate of Occupancy for all new structures.
Staff Analysis
Staff is supportive of the requested PUD for the following reasons:
1. The Georgetown Village Concept Plan identified this area as a mixed-use development,
referenced as the Village Center, providing an opportunity to live, work and play. The
proposed combination of open space/parkland, various senior living opportunities and
commercial development meets the intent of the Concept Plan.
2. The Future Land Use designation of Mixed Use Community and Moderate Density
Residential, as approved by City Council for this particular area, supports the mix of
uses proposed including the senior living facility and the two lots proposed for
commercial/civic uses.
3. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily PUD with a base RS
District as proposed in the Georgetown Village Concept Plan.
4. The surrounding developed uses, include civic (Village Pool and Village Elementary)
and residential uses.
5. The application has provided mitigation and justification for the requested exceptions
to the Code through reduced impervious coverage, preservation of Heritage Trees,
increased buffering between the commercial/civic uses and the residential uses,
restricting commercial access from the alleys, prohibiting some uses allowed in the C-1
District, and centralized site design that minimizes impacts to surrounding residential
properties.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Georgetown Village Center PUD Rezoning Page 8 of 8
Staff is supportive of the proposed PUD rezoning as the uses are compatible and consistent
with the Future Land Use Plan of Mixed Use Community and Moderate Density Residential,
are consistent with the intent of the Georgetown Village Concept Plan, and the PUD proposes
appropriate development and mitigations for the property.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
The Director of Parks and Recreation has worked with the applicant to address the needs of
the City as it relates to parkland. The applicant submitted their request for the Georgetown
Village Center PUD to the Parks and Recreation Board on March 13, 2014. The Board voted
unanimously to support the developer’s proposal to provide a public easement of 3.4 acres to
the City in lieu of parkland dedication with a provision that this area always remain open to
the public as a park. The 3.4 acres of open space will be owned and maintained by the owner
of the senior living portion of the project with public access easements placed on the lots and
the open space and landscape plan will be maintained as provided in the PUD.
The City’s Urban Forester has coordinated with the developer to maximize the preservation of
trees on the site. While Georgetown Village is exempt from the Heritage Tree Preservation
ordinance, as part of their mitigation for exemptions, the PUD will preserve 13 Heritage Trees
and 1,700 inches of existing trees. Additionally, the PUD will provide a 10 percent increase in
landscaping over Code requirements.
Public Comments
A total of 51 notices were sent out to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed
rezoning. Public notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on March 30, 2014. Two written
public comments were received as of the writing of this report with one in favor and one
opposed to non-residential development.

REZ-2013-024
Development Plan
Updated April 2, 2014
1
A. Property
This Development Plan covers 24.076 acres in the Joseph Fish Survey and the William
Roberts Survey, located within the City Limits of Georgetown, Texas, to be known as
Georgetown Village Center Planned Unit Development.
A location map is provided as Exhibit A.
B. Purpose
In accordance with the Unified Development Code Section 4.06.010.D “Development
Plan”, the following is a summary of the site development and design standards for th e
Georgetown Village Center PUD. The standards are consistent with those outlined in the
approved Georgetown Village Concept Plan. The Georgetown Village Concept Plan
envisioned a diverse, integrated, land use with functional neighborhoods with enhanced
quality of life to include opportunities to live, shop and work. The Village Center as
defined in the Georgetown Village Concept Plan included retail, office, civic and
residential uses. The Mixed-Use designation for this development area extended the
diversity to include residential, retirement housing, commercial, institutional, health,
educational, local commercial, office, restaurant and open space uses. In order to meet
the vision of the Georgetown Village Concept Plan, this development incorporates a mix
of senior housing options including independent living, assisted living and memory care,
commercial and civic uses as well as open space.
C. Development Plan
The zoning base district for the PUD is C-1, Local Commercial District.
The PUD is comprised of 6 tracts containing the following uses:
Tract 1: Open Space
Tract 2: Open Space
Tract 3: Senior Living including Apartment, Assisted Living, Nursing or
Convalescent Home uses
Tract 4: Private Roadway and associated uses allowed
Tract 5: Commercial/Civic uses permitted in the C-1 zoning district except
as modified in Section D.6 of this Development Plan
Tract 6: Commercial/Civic uses permitted in the C-1 zoning district except
as modified in Section D.6 of this Development Plan
The PUD will contain approximately 120 Senior Independent Living units, 60 Assisted
Living beds and 36 Memory Care beds. The mix will provide multiple levels of senior
living that will serve the Village community as well as provide jobs and services to the
area. In addition, the PUD will provide a maximum of 5 acres of commercial and civic
uses.
The layout of the proposed uses can be found on the Georgetown Village Mixed
Use PUD Concept Plan, attached as Exhibit B.

D. Revisions to Development Standards
1. Height: The height of the buildings within the Village Center PUD will be consistent
with the C-1 zoning regulation with the exception of a portion of the Senior Living
project that will reach 45-feet. The location of the 45-foot height area within the PUD
is outlined on Exhibit B.
In order to protect as many trees as possible on the site and respect the surrounding
residential neighbors, yet still provide the density that is envisioned in the Georgetown
Village Concept Plan, a portion of the Senior Living building will be permitted to reach
45-feet (3 story building) in height. The portion of the project that will reach 45-feet
has been positioned in the center of the site and will run perpendicular to the
neighbors to minimize the impact on adjacent single family residents.
2. Setbacks:
The Georgetown Village Concept encourages minimum front yards for both
residential and commercial uses to create a compact community which promotes a
pedestrian environment. Although these roads will be private, the following setbacks
shall be applicable to Greenside Lane and Entrance Road:
Front setback: 10-feet
Side setback: 10-feet
Rear setback: 10-feet
Shell Road shall have a 25-foot setback from the future Right-of-way. Parking shall
be allowed within such setback.
As a mitigation, the PUD will create a 25-foot setback from the existing residential
property line running along the north and south sides of the site. The commercial lots
adjacent to the residential alley shall provide a commercial to residential bufferyard
(landscaping) within the 25-foot setback. Additionally, no commercial access shall be
allowed from the adjacent alleys.
3. Parking: The Georgetown Village Center PUD meets the parking minimum as
prepared in Section 9.02.030. The Village Center PUD is not subject to the additional
landscape requirements for parking spaces over the minimum that was adopted with
the Unified Development Code. The Village Center PUD is meeting the intent of the
new ordinance by providing additional landscaping above the applicable code
requirements at the time the Georgetown Village Center Concept Plan was approved
as defined in Section 9 of this Development Plan.
4. Signage: As envisioned in the Georgetown Village Concept Plan, the Village Center
PUD will contain a diverse mix of uses dispersed throughout the tract. In order to
address the unique configuration of the site, mix of uses and provide adequate way-
finding; the PUD will be subject to the Master Sign Plan attached as Exhibit C.

5. Design Guidelines: The Village Center PUD is proposed as a mixed-use development
consisting of public open space an age-restricted multi-family/health care residential
use as well as civic and commercial uses. The project has been laid out to provide
continuity of pedestrian and vehicular circulation through the site and maintain the
fabric and walkable nature of Georgetown Village. Georgetown Village Center PUD is
located adjacent to other major public facilities within Georgetown Village including
the Village Recreation Center and the Village Elementary School. These buildings
are designed with architectural styles that deviate from the overall Georgetown Village
vision. The Village Center PUD is designed in a regionally appropriate hill-country
architectural charter. The building materials detailed below will provide for a cohesive
look of the Village Center and a seamless integration into the existing Village that
surrounds the site. Specifically, the Senior Living portion of the PUD is designed to
appear as multiple, smaller buildings and preserve the Village character of the master
plan.
The following alternative Design Guidelines are applicable to the PUD:
o Section 7.04.040 Building Elements:
o A. Building Materials for the Senior Living portion of the PUD
Subsection 5 –
a. Modify the materials counted towards the minimum
building materials requirements if installed above a
minimum height to two feet rather than four feet.
b. Modify the 60% maximum allowable percentages
for the materials detailed in Subsection b within the
Senior Living portion of the PUD as detailed below:
Independent Living Apartment Component: 80%
Independent Living Commons Component: 50%
Assisted Living Commons Component: 50%
Assisted Living Apartment Component: 80%
Memory Care Component: 80%
c. Modify Section b such that vertically installed siding
is included in the list of materials for both the Senior
Living and Commercial/Civic portions of the PUD.

Roof: The buildings within the PUD will be developed with a combination of
asphalt shingle roofing and standing seam metal roofing.
o Section 7.04.040 Building Elements for the Senior Living portion of the
PUD:
o E. Entryways and Entrance Treatments
Subsection 2 – The requirement for an outdoor patio area
is removed from the Senior Living portion of the
PUD.
To meet the intent, entryways for the Senior Living portion of the
PUD will include landscaped areas, porte-cocheres, and covered
walkways to entry vestibules accessing formal lobbies. The porte-
cochere and covered walkway will provide shade and weather
protection for departing and arriving residents and their visitors.
The outdoor seating requirement of the code will be met by
providing seating for residents conveniently inside the lobby. This
arrangement discourages loitering outside of the entryway and
increases security. Outdoor spaces for residents and visitors will
be established via courtyards located elsewhere in the facility as
depicted in Exhibit G.
o Section 7.04.050 Building Articulation and Architectural Features for the
Memory Care and Assisted Living portion of the Senior Living
portion of the PUD.

Due to the site-line and supervision requirements that are associated
with assisted living and memory care developments, the exterior
building design is dictated by interior design requirements.
Therefore, although the overall visual impact provides significant
articulation through varying buildings heights, materials and
architectural features as evident in the elevations below, the building
articulation requirements shall not be applicable to the assisted living
and memory care portions of the PUD.

open spaces and provide buffering from surrounding single family uses, the
maximum impervious coverage amounts within the Georgetown Village Center PUD
are as follows:
a. Tract 1: 10%
b. Tract 2: 10%
c. Tract 3: 60%

8. Open Space and Parkland: The project will provide approximately 3.4 acres of open
space as recommended by the Georgetown Village Concept Plan. The 3.4 acres of
open space will be owned and maintained by the owner of the senior living portion of
the project with public access easements placed on such open space. The owner of
the senior living portion of the project will have the responsibility of maintaining the
open space. A landscape plan for the open space area is provided within the PUD as
Exhibit D.
The Village Center PUD was presented to the City of Georgetown Parks Board on
March 13, 2014. The Parks Board voted unanimously to support the developers
providing a public easement of 3.4 acres to the City in lieu of parkland dedication
with a provision that this area always remain open to the public as a park. See
approved minutes included as Exhibit E.
9. Trees/Landscape: The buildings within the Georgetown Village Center PUD have
been designed to maximize the preservation of trees. The PUD is not subject to the
City’s Heritage Tree ordinance. However, as a mitigation the PUD will preserve 13
Heritage Trees, trees 15926, 12528, 12518, 12520, 15969, 17311, 17321, 17324,
17417, 17429, 17436, 17457 and 17459. The project will also save over 1,700
inches of existing trees. A tree survey is provided below as Exhibit F.
The PUD is subject to mitigation requirements for trees that are being removed
based on the code requirements at the time the Georgetown Village Concept Plan
was approved. This PUD will provide landscaping at 10% over the code
requirements at the time the Georgetown Village Concept Plan was approved. An
overall landscape plan for the open space, senior living and entryways is provided as
Exhibit G. The commercial/civic portion of the Village Center will meet the
applicable code requirements subject to the PUD.
E. Roads
1. Roads: The proposed PUD will provide for connectivity with the extension of
Greenside Lane through the Property as well as the connection of Shell Road to
Greenside lane via the construction of Entrance Road. The roadway extensions will
be private roads designed to City standards.
