Approximately two-thirds of the
undeveloped property is relatively flat
with few trees. The remainder of the

flood plain affects the most western 50-
100 feet of the property.

Planning Department Staff Report
14.5 Acres, Berry Survey Rezoning Page 3 of 4
Property History
The subject property was annexed in December of 1996 (Ordinance #96-53) with the
annexation of Sections 1-11 of the Berry Creek Subdivision. The property was rezoned the
following year (Ordinance #97-2) from the default zoning for annexation at that time,
Agriculture, to its current zoning, Industrial, with conditions related to the industrial uses.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed C-3 zoning district supports the 2030 Plan land use designation of Regional
Commercial, which supports commercial uses that draw a regional market, such as major
shopping centers, stand-alone big-box retail, and automobile-oriented commercial uses that
rely on convenient access from major highways. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map
designation is Tier 1A, 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 C-3 base district is a regional commercial zoning district that is intended for major
thoroughfares and intersections. The C-3 District is the most expansive commercial district
in the UDC, allowing uses such as retail, office, restaurants, hotels, and apartments, among
others.
Utilities
A Utility Evaluation has been completed for this parcel. The City of Georgetown will serve
water and wastewater at this location. Electric service will be provided by Pedernales
Electric Cooperative.
Transportation
This parcel has direct frontage and access along Berry Creek Drive, an existing Minor
Arterial on the city’s Thoroughfare Plan. Additional access points are sought as part of the
larger development and will be further reviewed with the plat, driveway, and site plan
applications. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not deemed necessary for review of this
rezoning.
Future Application(s)
The applicant currently has a subdivision plat under staff review that will be brought
before the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval. Development of this property
will also require approval of a Site Plan, Construction Plans, and Building Permits that will
all be administratively reviewed and approved.

Property History
In 1986 the City annexed approximately 500 feet along Westinghouse Road by Ordinance #86-54. At
that time, the initial zoning district assigned to annexed property was Residential Single-family (RS)
District. A Stormwater Permit for the church construction was issued in 2006 as required for non-
residential development in the ETJ.
Annexation of the remainder of the tract is currently being processed by separate application and will
conclude with the second reading of an ordinance for the rezoning.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of Employment
Center, which applies to areas that provide for a wide range of uses with a focus on campus-like settings
integrated with open spaces, and Community Commercial, that may include church and other civic uses.
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 2, an area that is likely to be needed to serve the
city’s growth needs over the next 10-20 years.
Planning & Development Staff Report
Celebration Church Rezoning, AG & RS to PF Page 3 of 4
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
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) study is being reviewed by the Development Engineer in connection
with a Site Plan application.
Future Application(s)
The following applications will be required to be submitted:
• Site Plans and Construction Plans, will 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 Future Land Use designation of Employment Center and Community Commercial, as
approved by City Council for this particular area, supports the proposed campus-like
development of the church.
2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily ETJ with some Industrial,
Residential Single-family, and General Commercial. The limitations placed on Religious
Assembly are being met by this applicant.
3. The surrounding developed uses include industrial uses and automotive development.
Staff is supportive of the proposed rezoning as the existing use is compatible and consistent with the
Future Land Use Plan of Employment Center campus-like setting with open space and Community
Commercial that includes church use.
