Waggoner, Long Range Planning Manager
Waggoner presented the staff report. The applicant is not proposing a change in use at this time
and this property is located in the transition area between the Downtown and the Old Town more
residential area. This area is provided to allow special opportunities to be developed that are
compatible with the neighboring residences. Staff recommends approval.
Brashear asked that if the purpose of the transition zone was to buffer residential properties from
commercial uses, and this property use changes from residential to commercial, what happens to
the transition zone? There was discussion that any new use would be considered with the
comprehensive plan and that this property would still be reviewed against the Design Guidelines
with HARC and with UDC standards, including parking and size constraints.
Chair Schroeder opened the public hearing.
Larry Olsen, 300 E. 8th Street, expressed his approval of the rezoning. He lives immediately behind
this property and stated that since the transition zone is on both sides of the street that he feels it
will be a true transition and not disappear with this change.
Motion by Webb, second by Fuller to recommend to City Council approval of the rezoning of
this property. Approved 6 – 1. (Brashear opposed.)
G. Discussion Items:
Update on the Unified Development Code Advisory Committee (UDCAC) meetings.

Item Details
Project Name: The Retreat
Project Address: 1111 E. 7th Street
Applicant: Griffith Consulting
Owner: San Gabriel Builders LLC
Total Acreage: 2.629 + 0.592 (Lyons Addition) = 3.217
Legal Description: OUTLOT DIVISION C, BLOCK 8‐9(PTS), ACRES 2.63
Plat Summary
Proposed Lots: 12 residential lots and 1 common area
Site Information
The property is located on East 7th street, east of South College Street and north of Southwestern
University. The property currently has a house, accessory building, and various cars and
equipment on site. The property is adjacent to the I.O.O.F. cemetry on the north and east sides.
The property is currently zoned Residential Single‐Family (RS) and is designated as Moderate
Density Residential on the Future Land Use Plan.
Background
The Retreat subdivision is planned to be 12 single‐family lots with one common area. This
plat also includes lots from the Lyons Addition. The owner of two lots in the Lyon Addition
wanted to sell the back portion of the lots because the front was already developed with two
houses. The owner reached out to add the land to The Retreat; therefore, the Lyons Addition
is being replatted to remove the back portion so it will be available to include in The Retreat.
Page 19 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
The Retreat – Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 2
For this to occur, the back portion needed to by simultanesouly released from the Lyons
Addition and added to The Retreat so it would have street frontage. Since the back tract
orginated from the Lyons Addition, the owners of The Retreat felt it best to use two legal
descriptions in this plat so that the origin of the two tracts is clear.
Utilities
Water service is provided by the City of Georgetown. The property is adjacent to existing water
and wastewater mains.
Transportation
The property is located at the corner of East 7th Street and Smith Creek Road. A new internal
roadway, Retreat Place, will be constructed through the property (577 linear feet). A 5 foot
sidewalk will be constructed along East 7th Street.
Parkland Dedication
Parkland fees will be paid at $250 per residential lot in zone 16.
Staff Analysis
The proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the UDC and is presented for
approval.

Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested consideration of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow an
automotive sales facility at 2030 south Austin Avenue within the General Commercial (C-3)
zoning district, to be known as Alan's Auto Sales. According to the applicant’s letter of intent
(Attachment 4), the request includes a time limit of a maximum of three (3) years to allow the
business to grow and transition to another location. The C-3 zoning district allows automotive
sales facilities at the discretion of the City Council with approval of a SUP.
Site Information
Case History
The applicant previously submitted a SUP (2017-003) application for the same property and
the same automotive sales facility use and was heard at a public hearing. At their May 16,
2017 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) unanimously recommended
approval to the City Council (7-0) of the SUP request to allow an automotive sales facility in
the C-3 Zoning District.
At the June 13, 2017 City Council meeting, the Council heard the case at a public hearing and
made a motion to deny (7-0) the SUP request. At the July 11, 2017, the City Council
reconsidered this case and voted (7-0) to waive the applicant’s 12 month waiting period to
reapply for the same use at the same location to consider a time limit for the applicant’s
request.

Physical Characteristics:
The subject property is 0.31 acres in size and it is developed with an approximately 800 square
foot one story building with a paved parking area. The site has approximately 60 feet of street

Property History
The subject property was rezoned from Industrial (IN) to General Commercial (C-3) in 2003
by Ordinance No. 2003-67. At the time, the City’s Future Land Use Designation for this
property in the Century Plan was “Office, Retail, and Commercial.” In 2008, the Georgetown
City Council adopted the City’s Current Comprehensive Plan, which identifies the property
with a Mixed Use Community future land use designation that envisions a mix of residential
types and densities complemented by supporting retail, small to medium scale office
development and integrated open spaces.

Special Use Permit
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The purpose of the Future Land Use Map is to identify the intended long term pattern and
character of residential, commercial, employment, and other supporting land uses as
articulated through the Vision Statement. It is also for identifying the need for adjustments to
zoning, land use, subdivision regulations, development review procedures and other tools, to
achieve the desired pattern and quality of development.
The 2030 Future Land Use category for the subject property is Mixed Use Community. This
category is intended for residential development with a mixture of different types of densities
that are complemented by supporting retail, small to medium scale office development and
integrated open spaces. Compatibility among these various uses will be maintained through
design standards that address the locations, character and relationships between uses, while
affording greater development flexibility than provided by standard zoning district
classifications.
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A which are areas 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.
Transportation
The site’s sole access is via South Austin Avenue, which is an Existing Collector roadway as
classified in the City’s Overall Transportation Plan. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) was not
deemed necessary for this use.
Utilities
This subject property is located within the City of Georgetown for electric, water, and
wastewater. It is anticipated that there is adequate capacity to serve this property either by
existing capacity or developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure.
Zoning District
The existing zoning district for this site is General Commercial (C-3), which 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
zoning district appropriate along freeways and major arterials.
The subject property also has the downtown gateway overlay zoning district, which is
intended to provide a 10 foot landscape area because the property is considered a gateway
into the downtown area.

Special Use Permit
Staff Analysis
South Austin Avenue between West 17th Street and Leander Road (FM1460) is a stretch of
roadway that significantly varies in use, age, scale of development, and location in the City.
There is a mixture of commercial and residential development between this corridor and
Railroad Avenue (west of the property). Although there is a mixture of residential and
commercial type uses, in 2008, the City adopted the current Comprehensive Plan which
envisions the subject property and the surrounding area with a mix of residential types and
densities complemented by supporting retail, small to medium scale office development and
integrated open spaces.
Staff has reviewed the applicant’s request to establish an automotive sales facility on a 0.31-
acre lot for a maximum period of three (3) years. The following is the pertinent section of the
UDC related to this request:
The UDC Section 3.07.030.C states that the City Council may approve an application for a
Special Use Permit where it reasonably determines that there will be no significant negative
impact upon residents of surrounding property or upon the general public. The City Council
shall consider the following criteria in its review:
1. The proposed special use is not detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants. It does not appear that the proposed
automotive sales facility will be directly injurious or detrimental to the public health,
welfare or safety in the neighborhood. It also does not appear that the proposed use will
improve or take steps to move in the direction of the Comprehensive Plan for the area
which envisions a mixture of residential types with supporting retail and office. If
approved, the proposed use would need to comply with the minimum required
development standards in the C-3 district and in the downtown gateway overlay district.
2. The proposed conceptual site layout, circulation plan, and design are harmonious with the
character of the surrounding area. The proposed layout has been reviewed by staff and all
development standards would be consistent with the UDC including the Downtown
Gateways 10-foot landscape buffer along North Austin Avenue. Although it appears that
the site layout is harmonious with the character of the surrounding area today, it is not
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates this area for residential
development complemented by supporting retail, small to medium scale office
development and integrated open spaces. Also, the area west of the subject property that
is within the Mixed Use Community has several existing multi-family developments such
as The Oaks at Georgetown, Stonehaven Apartments, and San Gabriel Senior Village that
comply with the Comprehensive Plan. There are other existing single-family
Page 35 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
Alan’s Auto Sales Page 5 of 6
Special Use Permit
developments and there are signs of residential infill lots that also comply with the
Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed use does not negatively impact existing uses in the area and in the City
through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities, and water and
sewer systems and on public services such as police and fire protection and solid waste
collection and the ability of existing infrastructure and services to adequately provide
services. If the proposed use is approved, it would not negatively impact existing uses in the
area and the City through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities,
and water and sewer systems and on public services such as police and fire protection and
solid waste collection, and the ability of existing infrastructure and services to adequately
provide services.
4. The proposed use does not negatively impact existing uses in the area and in the City
through the creation of noise, glare, fumes, dust, smoke, vibration, fire hazard or other
injurious or noxious impact. If approved, the use will be required to meet all City codes
and ordinances to protect from impacts such as noise, glare, fumes, dust, smoke, vibration,
or fire hazard within the vicinity.
Findings
Based on all information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The intent of the Mixed Use Community category in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan is for
residential development with a mixture of different types of densities that are
complemented by supporting retail, small to medium office scale development and
integrated open spaces. According to the applicant’s letter of intent, the proposed use is
for an automotive sales facility for a time period not to exceed three (3) years. The request
does not comply with the Comprehensive Plan because it is not within the desired pattern
of future land uses for the area.
2. Although it appears that the site layout is harmonious with the character of the surrounding
area today, it is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates this area for
residential development with complementing retail and office uses. There are existing
single-family and multi-family developments within the surrounding area. Also, there are
signs of residential and commercial infill lots to the west of the property that also comply
with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request based on the above-mentioned findings.

Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius

the Sun Newspaper and signs were posted on-site. To date, staff has received two (2) written
letters in support of the applicant’s proposal.
Please note that staff received one (1) written letter in opposition and one (1) in support of the
Special Use Permit prior to the first P&Z meeting on May 16, 2017.

Property History
The property was annexed into the City in 1995 (Ordinance 95-12) and zoned Agricultural
(AG). In 2003, the property was rezoned from Agricultural (AG) to Office and Service Use (RM-
3) by Ordinance 2003-22, which was later converted to the Office (OF) zoning district with the
adoption of the Unified Development Code (UDC) in 2003. In 2007, it was rezoned from Office
(OF) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) by Ordinance 2007-97. The property is located in the
Gateway Overlay District, more specifically the Scenic/Natural Gateway overlay district.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The property is designated as Low Density Residential on the Future Land Use Map.
• This category includes the city’s predominantly single-family neighborhoods that can
be accommodated at a density between 1.1 and 3 dwelling units per gross acre.
Conservation subdivisions are also encouraged in this land use district. Modifications
to development standards applicable to this category could address minimum open
space requirements, public facility impacts, and greater roadway connectivity.
• This category may also support complementary non-residential uses along arterial
roadways such as neighborhood-serving retail, office, institutional, and civic uses,
although such uses may not be depicted on the Future Land Use Map. Standards should
be established to maximize compatibility of these uses with adjacent land uses,
minimize traffic congestion and overloading of public infrastructure, and also ensure a
high standard of site, landscape, and architectural design.
Growth Tier:
The property is in Growth Tier 1A (Short Term Growth Area – 10 Years) on the Growth Tier
Map.
• Tier 1A 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. Within Tier 1A, the city is called on to conduct assessments of public
facility conditions and capacities (Policy 2B.1) and to prioritize short and long term
capital investments so as to ensure that infrastructure capacity is sufficient to serve
development intensities as indicated on the Future Land Use Map and in the zoning
districts.
Transportation
The property currently has access from Williams Drive and has the potential for access from
Page 49 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
4819 Williams Drive
CN to C-1 Page 3 of 4
Penny Lane. There are no new roadways planned through the subject property.
Utilities
The property is near existing water and wastewater mains. The existing water main runs down
Williams Drive and the wastewater main is located on the opposite side of Williams Drive from
the southeast corner of the property.
Proposed Zoning District
The Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district is intended to provide areas for commercial and
retail activities that primarily serve residential uses. Uses should have pedestrian access to
adjacent and nearby residential areas, but are not appropriate along residential streets or
residential collectors. The C-1 district is more appropriate along major and minor
thoroughfares and corridors.

Chelsea and Andreina,
Please below and attached. I have shared the email with the applicant. Can you guys have GIS run a 20% protest
calculation on this as soon as possible?

Subject: Neighbor feedback regarding RAZ‐2017‐013 ‐ 4819 Williams Dr
Sofia,
I've attached a letter we, the neighborhood immediately behind the property in question, submit for the zoning office,
zoning commission, and city councils consideration.
We object to changing the zoning of 4819 Williams Dr from CN to C-1.
Rezoning must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The existing zoning is consistent with the comprehensive
plan, as well as the Williams Drive study. In the plans posted online, the area is slated to remain low density
residential. Zoning should remain the same to make the property consistent with the comprehensive plan. Furthermore,
per the 2030 Comprehensive Plan “C-1… is not meant to be located along residential streets or collectors.” (pg 3.14) A
large portion of this property borders Penny Ln, which is a collector. The neighborhood has concerns that Penny Lane is
already becoming too busy due to neighboring construction. Please restrict any commercial development on 4819
Williams Dr from utilizing Penny Ln.
The zoning change must promote health, safety, or general welfare of the city and the safe orderly, and healthful
development of the city. The existing development on 4819 Williams Dr has proven to flood the neighboring properties,
which still rely on shallow septic systems. Regardless of the safeguards put in place, denser development will result in
greater difficulty managing run-off. The existing zoning aligns with the environmental constraints of the area. Rezoning
creates a greater risk of over-developing the property and worsening the environmental risks associated with flooding
septic systems.
The zoning change must be compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the
character of the neighborhood. The properties surrounding this property are all zoned agricultural or are vacant. This
property immediately borders low density residential housing - housing situated on 1 to 2.5 acres. The current zoning,
neighborhood commercial, is compatible with its neighbors, provided a natural wooded buffer is restored on the property
in order to restore privacy and protection from Williams Drive to the neighborhood. Rezoning the property to C-1 would
permit a variety of high traffic, loud, 24/7 uses, especially gas stations, that are unacceptable to a quiet, agriculturally
zoned neighborhood.
I'm happy to discuss further if needed.
Thanks,
Karen Miller

Site Information
Location:
The subject site is located along Shell Road, approximately 400 feet southwest of the intersection
of Shell Road and State Highway 195.
Physical Characteristics:
The subject site has approximately 205 feet of frontage along Shell Road and shares a property
line with a new single-family development to the south known as Hidden Oaks at San Gabriel.
The property is rectangle in shape and is generally flat.
Surrounding Properties:
Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use
North Unicorporated ETJ Community Commercial Private Storage Facility
South Residential Single-family (RS) Mixed Use Community Single-family
Neighborhood
East Agriculture (AG) Mixed Use Community Undeveloped land
West Unicorporated ETJ Mixed Use Community Large Vehicle Storage
Property History
The subject site was annexed into the City in 2011 (Ord. 2011-61) as part of a larger tract. The
property was zoned to its current zoning designation, Agriculture (AG), upon annexation. In
2007, a right-of-way plat dedicated a portion of the property frontage to the future ex pansion of
Shell Road.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for the subject site is Community Commercial and Mixed Use
Community.
The Community Commercial category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as areas that
accommodate retail, professional office, and service-oriented business activities that serve more
than one residential neighborhood. These areas are typically configured as “nodes” of varying
scales at the intersection of arterial roads, or at the intersect ion of arterials and collectors. In
addition, Community Commercial areas will include neighborhood serving commercial uses as
well as larger retail uses including restaurants, specialty retail, mid -box stores and smaller
shopping centers. They may also include churches, governmental branch offices, schools, parks,
and other civic facilities.
The Mixed Use Community category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as appropriate
for larger scale, creatively planned communities, where a mix of residential types and densities
are complemented by supporting retail and small to medium scale office development. This
Page 63 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
Georgetown Gun Range Rezoning
AG to C-3 Page 3 of 6
category also encourages more compact, sustainable development patterns that reduce auto
trips, increase connectivity and encourage walking and use of transit.
Transportation
The subject site’s inbound and outbound access is on Shell Road. Shell Road is identified as an
existing major arterial road; a street designed to carry large volumes of traffic into or out of the
city that provide for efficient vehicular movement between distant locations.
Utilities
The subject site is located within the City’s CCN/service area for water and wastewater. Electric
will be provided by PEC. It is anticipated that there is adequate capacity to serve this property
either by existing capacity or developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure.
Proposed Zoning District
The General Commercial (C-3) zoning 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 C-3 zoning district offers the most options of permitted land
uses and is the most intense zoning district apart from the Industrial zoning district. Typical uses
in this district include general retail, hotels, restaurants, and general office. Attachment 4
contains a comprehensive list of permitted uses with the C-3 zoning district and development
standards. Certain land uses, including indoor gun ranges, require approval of a Special Use
Permit by the City Council. Other land uses have specific design limitations to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding properties.
Staff Analysis
Staff has determined that the requested rezoning to C-3 zoning district meets the intent of the
Future Land Use categories of Community Commercial and Mixed Use Community. State Highway
195 is identified as a Gateway corridor and is the main point of entry into the city for visitors
from northwest Williamson County. Shell Road extends from SH-195 to Williams Dive and is
seeing rapid residential development. These existing and proposed residential developments will
continue to increase demand for commercial and retail services at strategic locations. The site’s
location near the intersection of Shell Road and SH-195 is ideal for the land uses allowed within
the C-3 zoning district. The permitted land uses would help encourage the development of a
commercial and retail node at the intersection of State Highway 195 and Shell Road that serves
the developing single-family neighborhoods nearby.
As part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use Element identified a number of land use
goals, policies and actions. The following goals and action statements are the most relevant to
this request:
Page 64 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
Georgetown Gun Range Rezoning
AG to C-3 Page 4 of 6
Goal 1, Policies and Action 1.A states that the City should “encourage a balanced mix of
residential, commercial, and employment uses at varying densities and intensities, to
reflect a gradual transition from urban to suburban to rural development. ”
Goal 1, Policies and Action 1.D4 states that the City should “develop and apply standards
for the location and design of mid-box and big-box retail centers to improve their
aesthetics, maintain appropriate commercial scale and provide for their future adaptive
re-use.”
Goal 4 states that the City should “maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use
patterns (e.g., stable neighborhoods, economically sound commercial and employment
areas, etc.).”
The proposed rezoning request meets the criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for zoning
changes:

Comply
Approval Criteria for Rezoning
X The application is complete and
the information contained
within the application is
sufficient and correct enough to
allow adequate review and final
action
An application must provide the necessary
information to review and make a knowledgeable
decision in order for staff to schedule an application
for consideration by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council. This application was
reviewed by staff and deemed to be complete.
X The zoning change is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Community Commercial and Mixed Use
Community future land uses of the Comprehensive
Plan. The Community Commercial category supports
the C-3 zoning district at this location since it is
located along a major arterial. The Mixed Use
Community category supports the C-3 zoning
district because it allows for diverse commercial and
retail land uses in close proximity to multi-family and
single-family developments.
X The zoning change promotes the
health, safety or general welfare
of the City and the safe orderly,
and healthful development of
the City
The zoning change request promotes the health,
safety and general welfare of the City. The location of
commercial development along major corridors such
as Shell Road will help serve the nearby residential
neighborhoods. The C-3 District will help facilitate
orderly commercial development along SH-195,
which is a major highway.
X The zoning change is compatible
with the present zoning and
conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts and uses.

of the neighborhood
X The property to be rezoned is
suitable for uses permitted by
the District that would be
applied by the proposed
amendment.
The uses allowed in the C-3 zoning district are
suitable along major roadways such as Shell Road and
State Highway 195 and within the areas of the Future
Land Use designated as Community Commercial and
Mixed Use Community. A Medium Level Bufferyard
will be required along the the property’s southeastern
border should this rezoning be approved.
General Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The proposed to C-3 zoning district supports the following goals of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan:
Goal 1, Policies and Action 1.A “encourage a balanced mix of residential, commercial,
and employment uses at varying densities and intensities, to reflect a gradual transition
from urban to suburban to rural development. ”
Goal 1, Policies and Action 1.D4 “develop and apply standards for the location and
design of mid-box and big-box retail centers to improve their aesthetics, maintain
appropriate commercial scale and provide for their future adaptive re-use.”
Goal 4 “maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g., stable
neighborhoods, economically sound commercial and employment areas, etc.).”
2. The proposed zoning district is consistent with the Community Commercial and Mixed Use
Community future land uses of the Comprehensive Plan. The Community Commercial category
supports the C-3 zoning district at this location since it is located along a major arterial. The
Mixed Use Community category supports C-3 zoning district because it allows for diverse
commercial and retail land uses in close proximity to multi-family and single-family
developments.
3. The zoning change request promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the City. The
location of commercial development along corridors such as Shell Road will help serve the
nearby residential neighborhoods. In addition, the C-3 zoning district will help facilitate

Survey.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this site is Specialty Mixed Use Area. As it applies to
downtown Georgetown, developments should emphasize urban character and the mix and
intensity of uses uniquely suited to this center of activity. The designation is intended to permit a
true mix of uses, with unique development standards tailored to the character of the area.
Growth Tier:
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 provide d,
and where the bulk of the City’s growth should be guided over the near term.
Transportation
Access to the site is served by local roads varying in width but on average 26 feet wide, with
parking permitted on both sides of the road. The property is directly served by sidewalks
however there are no sidewalks on the western side of Main Street. The site is currently within
1,000 feet of a fixed route bus service.
Utilities
Water, wastewater and electric is served by the City of Georgetown. It is assumed that there is
existing adequate water capacity at this time to serve this property.
Proposed Zoning District
The Mixed Use Downtown District (MU-DT) is intended to provide a location for a mix of land
uses including general commercial and retail activities, office as well as Single-family and Multi-
family use in the downtown area. Developments in the MU-DT District are typically smaller in
size and scope although there may be occasional heavy traffic.
Notable Development Standards in MU - DT District:
Lot width, minimum 25 ft
Maximum building height 40 feet
Minimum setback adjacent to rights-of-way 0 feet
Side Setback 0 feet
Parking
Non-residential: 1 per 500 sq. ft. GFA
Residential: 2 per dwelling unit
Maximum Impervious Cover Up to 95% depdendent upon approval of the
development engineer
Bufferyards 10 ft. with plantings adjacent to AG, RE, RL, RS,TF, or
MH districts

Staff Analysis
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies a number of land use goals, policies and actions that
support the densification and diversity of land uses in the Downtown District. The Downtown
Master Plan, an element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which was updated in 2014, includes a
boundary for the Downtown and Old Town Overlays. The development strategy for downtown
is composed of a set of broad character areas and development prototypes. These Character
Areas suggest concentrating uses and special features within certain areas of downtown to help
establish a “critical mass” of desired uses and a consistent development pattern.
This property is located within the Downtown North Character Area, defined by the
Downtown Master Plan (DTMP) as a residentially-focused mixed-use area with housing,
offices and other retail venues. The DTMP recommends that Main and Rock Str eets serve as
popular pedestrian and bike routes that link to the river trails and new development should
orient to those streets as well as Austin Avenue. This development represents the first of new
uses in the area north of the Downtown core, east of Austin Ave.
The Downtown Master Plan also recognizes the potential for development which is compatible
in design and scale between the Downtown Overlay District and the surrounding residential
neighborhoods, referred to as “transition areas”. These “transition areas” offer a special
opportunity for unique design solutions that can support either an increase of intensity of use
into the surrouding residential areas or allow for the decrease in land use intensities by
extending residential uses toward the core of the Downtown Overlay District.
The key consideration to zoning and land use change is design and scale compatability.
Providing places that serve nearby residents while utilizing measures to mitigate impacts of new
uses should be a priority. Building designs that draw upon residential forms, have variation in
massing, and maintain view opportunities and pedestrian circulation through blocks should be
particularly welcomed. Some compatible redevelopment, such as repurposing existing single
family homes into professional offices or restaurants, has already begun. Other transitional uses
such as Bed and Breakfast establishments, professional offices and light commercial uses should
be considered in this area as long as their architecture is context sens itive and responds to the
surrounding residential character and their business hours and uses are limited in hours and
intensity.
Projects recommended for the Downtown North Character Area defined by the Downtown
Master Plan include:
• Retail along Austin Avenue
• Repurpose the historic jail
• Hotel or Bed and Breakfast
Page 77 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
309 S. Main St. Rezoning Page 4 of 6
• Restaurants
• Multifamily housing
• Professional offices
• Neighborhood-based services, including day care
• Neighborhood parks
• Amphitheatre at the river’s edge
• Improved sidewalks, streetscapes and landscaping
The uses allowed in the MU - DT District do generally align with those envisioned by the
Downtown Master Plan the Downtown North Character Area. The most intensive use allowed by
right in the MU-DT is restaurant. The applicant has expressed an interest in using the property as a
coffee shop, which is a use included in the “Restaurant, General” category of Chapter Five (5) of the
Unified Development Code (UDC).
Properties in MU-DT shall meet the design requirements of the Downtown Overlay District, and
Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines. Although not a consideration for the review of the
zoning request, there are three site design requirements that will be required at the time of
permitting and may limit the applicant’s ability to expand or redevelop the site, namely 1) water
quality (2) offsite parking requirements (3) historic designation.
The applicant has not expressed a desire to redevelop the property and therefore may not
encounter conformance requirements related to water quality or historic preservation. The MU- DT
zoning and Area 2 of the Downtown District requires 1 space per 500 feet of ground floor area for
off street parking. The UDC, Chapter 4 section 08.070 allows for an alternative parking plan.
Alternative parking plans can include off site, shared, on street, fee in lieu or an administrative
exception.
UDC Section 3.06.030 establishes the following criteria for zoning changes:
The application is complete and the
information contained within the application
is sufficient and correct enough to allow
adequate review and final action
Complies
The zoning change is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
Complies - The proposed zoning change is
consistent with the Future Land Use of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan as the Mixed Use
Downtown category allows for provide a
location for a mix of land uses including general
commercial and retail activities, office as well as
Single-family and Multi-family in the downtown
Page 78 of 92
Planning Department Staff Report
309 S. Main St. Rezoning Page 5 of 6
area.
The zoning change promotes the health,
safety or general welfare of the City and the
safe orderly, and healthful development of
the City
Complies - Uses supported by the requested
zoning are compatible with abutting residential
and commercial districts.
The zoning change is compatible with the
present zoning and conforming uses of
nearby property and with the character of the
neighborhood
Neutral - The existing structure is compatible in
design and scale with the abutting residential
district. Though it is not immediately adjacent to
mixed use downtown zone properties, the uses
permitted in the requested zoning district are
consistent with the existing surrounding uses
and the zoning district requires buffers between
adjacent residential uses.
The property to be rezoned is suitable for
uses permitted by the District that would be
applied by the proposed amendment.
Complies - The site has adequate utility
capacities.
Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The request generally meets the criteria outlined in the Unified Development Code.
2. There is sufficient water capacity at this time to accommodate the proposed rezoning from
RS to MU- DT District at this location.
3. The requested MU-DT supports the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan,
specifically the redevelopment strategies identified for the Downtown North Character
Area.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request based on the above-mentioned findings.
Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of
the subject property that are located within City limits were notified of the rezoning application
(19 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (August 20, 2017) and a sign were posted on-site. To date, staff has received 0
communication from the interested public.
