Site Information
Location:
This property is located on the northeast corner of Westinghouse Road and FM 1460; See Attachment 1.
Physical Characteristics:
The property is a mostly cleared, vacant flat piece of ground in a generally square shape.
History
The property was annexed in 2006 (Ordinance 2006-139) and then rezoned to a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) in 2007 (Ordinance 2007-98) consisting of approximately 29 acres of Local Commercial (C-1)
zoning and 26 acres of Multifamily (MF) zoning. The property was recently rezoned to a mix of Local
Commercial (C-1), General Commercial (C-3), Low Density Multifamily (MF-1), and High Density
Multifamily (MF-2) under Ordinance 2015-60.
The property is currently housing several dozen temporary/portable buildings – an existing
nonconforming, usage of the property at time of annexation.
Utilities
Water and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown; electricity is provided by TXU Energy.
Transportation
The access to this property will be provided by Westinghouse Road and FM 1460; exact locations of
driveways will be determined at the time of Site Development Plan review. It is anticipated that a primary
access point will be via FM 1460 opposite Teravista Crossing, where a median-break is planned. Both
Westinghouse Road and FM 1460 are classified as Major Arterial roadways. Near this property, right-of-
way widths reach 215’ for FM 1460 and 135’ for Westinghouse Road. A small amount of additional right-

of-way is being provide throught this plat for Westinghouse Road (County Road 111). Traffic impacts, as
well as whether a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required, will be determined at time of Site
Development Plan review.
Parkland Dedication
No parkland dedication is required as a result of this subdivision. Should multifamily development occur
within this subdivision, parkland dedication will be addressed through the Site Development Plan review
process.
Staff Analysis
The proposed Preliminary Plat meets the requirements of the UDC and development standards for the
underlying zoning districts, and is presented for approval.

Report Date: June 16, 2016
File No: REZ-2016-017
Project Planner: Juan Enriquez, Planner
Item Details
Project Name: Carlson Tract REZ
Project Address: 801 Carlson Cove
Total Acreage: 67.864 acres
Legal Description: 67.864 acres of the William Addison Survey
Applicant: Peter Verdicchio, RLA, LEED AP, ASLA
Property Owner(s): Durwood & Beverly Thompson
Contact: Peter Verdicchio, RLA, LEED AP, ASLA
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the site from the Agriculture (AG) District to the
Residential Single-Family (RS) District. The requested rezoning would provide the property
owners with permitted uses allowed by the RS District.
Site Information
Location:
The subject site is located east of SE Inner Loop and west of SH 130, immediately south of
Churchill Farms neighborhood at the terminus of Reinhardt Boulevard and Autumn Trail.
Physical Characteristics:
The subject site is 67.864 acres in size and is generally flat with no identifiable features on the
tract. Currently, the site has access through Carlson Cove to Rockride Lane. There are no heritage
trees located on-site.
Surrounding Properties:
Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use
North RS Moderate Density Residential Single-Family Residences
South RS Mixed Use Community Single-Family Residences
East AG Mixed Use Community/Institutional Single-Family Residences/Undeveloped
Land
West PF Mixed Use Community Undeveloped Williamson County Land
Property History
The 67.864 acre property was annexed into the City on November 28, 2006 by Ordinance No.
2006-123. At the time of annexation into the City, the default AG District was assigned. The
property is currently vacant and undeveloped.

Planning Department Staff Report
Carlson Tract Rezoning Page 2 of 4
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site is Mixed Use Community. 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 category
also encourages more compact, sustainable development patterns that reduce auto trips, increase
connectivity and encourage walking and use of transit.
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B (Developing). Tier 1B areas are presently
in the City limits in areas that are generally under-served by infrastructure and where such
service and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth needs of the City once Tier 1A
approaches buildout over the next ten years.
Transportation
The site’s primary inbound and outbound access is currently through Carlson Cove (private
drive) via Rockride Lane. Trip generation will be reviewed with the subdivision application,
possibly triggering the need for a TIA at that time.
Utilities
Water and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown. Electric service is provided by the
City of Georgetown and ONCOR. 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 applicant has requested Residential Single-Family (RS) zoning on this property. The RS
District is intended for areas of medium density with a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet. The
RS District contains standards for development that maintain single-family neighborhood
characteristics.
Staff Analysis
As part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan adoption process, the land use element of the plan
identified a number of land use goals, policies and actions. The following goals and action
statements are the most relevant to this request:
The subject property is located within the Future Land Use category of Mixed Use Community
that encourages a mixture of uses. In this case, the proposal is to build single family residences
which would function as an extension of the established Churchill Farms residential
neighborhood to the north and Saddlecreek neighborhood to the south. The SE Inner Loop
Page 16 of 31
Planning Department Staff Report
Carlson Tract Rezoning Page 3 of 4
corridor is an area that includes employment centers and government related centers. The
proposed rezone will contribute to the well balanced mix of uses in the area.
• Goal 4: “Maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g. stable
neighborhoods, economically sound commercial and employment areas).
o The policies listed under this goal include “minimize impacts of encroachment by
incompatible land uses.” The property will fill in an area anticipated to be developed
for single-family uses and provide an extension of single-family residences located
to the north, east and south of the site. The rezoning will also allow compatible
uses consistent with the development patterns in the area.
The proposed rezoning to RS, along with the associated development standards, directly helps to
implement the above goals of providing compatible land uses. As development patterns
continue to extend in the southeast portion of the City, the need for a balanced mix of uses is
necessary in order to achieve a balanced and compatible community.
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
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 P&Z and City Council. This
application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be
complete.
The zoning change is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
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 health, safety
and general welfare of the City because it supports
orderly development by placing zoning districts in
the appropriate location.
The zoning change is compatible with the
present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the
neighborhood
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts, specifically those
located to the north and south of the site.
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 RS District are appropriate
at this location given the majority of the existing
land uses surrounding the property are single family
residential.
Page 17 of 31
Planning Department Staff Report
Carlson Tract Rezoning Page 4 of 4
Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The Future Land Use category of Mixed Use Community supports the RS District at this
location since this category is intended for large tracts of undeveloped open land where
residential uses will complement the future non-residential development anticipated along
SE Inner Loop.
2. The requested zoning at this site meets the intent of the RS District as the property will
provide moderate density single-family residences. The RS District contains standards for
development that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics similar to the
Churchill Farms and planned Saddlecreek neighborhoods to the north and south.
3. The uses allowed in the RS District are appropriate at this location given the majority of the
surrounding properties that are east of SE Inner Loop are single-family residences.
4. There is currently sufficient capacity within the City utilities to accommodate the potential
development resulting from the proposed rezoning from the AG to RS District at this
location.
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
(62 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (June 5, 2016) and signs were posted on-site. To date, staff has received a total of
seven (7) phone calls from neighboring property owners and prospective home buyers
requesting general information about the rezoning application. Staff received one email from an
affected property owner in support of the requested RS District.

Project Name: Lost Quarry Subdivision REZ
Project Address: 3300 FM 2243 (Leander Road)
Total Acreage: 13.788 acres
Legal Description: 13.788 acres of the Joseph Thompson Survey
Applicant: Dan Jackson
Property Owner: Vale Building Group, LLC
Contact: Dan Jackson
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the 13.788 acre site from the Agriculture (AG) District to
the Residential Estate (RE) District. The total site is approximately 78-acres in size but the
majority of the property is located within the ETJ. The 64 acres in the ETJ are not being rezoned
since there are no zoning regulations in that area. However, if the 13.788 acres within the City
limits are approved, the entire 78 acres will be platted with the same subdivision application. The
requested rezoning would provide the property owners with permitted uses allowed by the RE
District similar in use to other residential properties in the surrounding area.
Site Information
Location:
The subject site is located on the north side of FM 2243 (Leander Road), between County Road
176 and Weir Ranch Road in the southwestern portion of the City.
Physical Characteristics:
The subject site is an irregularly shaped 13.788 portion of a larger tract totaling approximately 78
acres. The site is generally flat with trees and various shrubs throughout the tract. A tree survey
will be required upon Preliminary Plat submittal to identify any protected or heritage trees. The

property has approximately 500 feet of street frontage with primary inbound and outbound
access along Leander Road.

Property History
The 13.788 acre property was annexed into the City on December 23, 2005 by Ordinance No.
2005-101. At the time of annexation into the City, the default AG District was assigned. The
property is currently vacant and undeveloped.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this site is Low Density Residential. The Low Density
Residential category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as predominantly single-family
neighborhoods than can be accommodated at a density between 1.1 and 3 dwelling units per
gross acre.
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B (Developing). Tier 1B areas are presently
in the City limits in areas that are generally under-served by infrastructure and where such
service and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth needs of the City once Tier 1A
approaches buildout over the next ten years.
Transportation
The site’s primary inbound and outbound access is on FM 2243 (Leander Road). Trip generation
will be reviewed with the subdivision application, possibly triggering the need for a TIA at that
time.
Utilities
Water is served by the City of Georgetown. Electric service is provided by PEC and sanitary
sewer requirements will be handled by On-Site Septic Facilities (OSSF). It is anticipated that
there is adequate water capacity at this time to serve this property either by existing capacity or
developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure.
Proposed Zoning District
The applicant has requested Residential Estate (RE) zoning on this property. The RE District is
intended for areas of very low density single-family residential uses. The District has a minimum

lot size of 1-acre in order to retain a rural character and is appropriate where topography or lack
of public utilities and services may necessitate low density.
Staff Analysis
As part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan adoption process, 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:
The subject property is located within the Future Land Use category of Low Density Residential
that encourages single-family residences at 1.1 to 3 dwelling units per gross acre. In this case, the
zoning district requested is the RE District, which allows minimum 1-acre lots. The proposed
rezone will contribute to the rural character of the area and serve as a gradual transition from
rural, to suburban and urban going eastbound toward the City center.
• Goal 4: “Maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g. stable
neighborhoods, economically sound commercial and employment areas).
o The policies listed under this goal include “minimize impacts of encroachment by
incompatible land uses.” The property will fill in an area anticipated to be developed
for single-family uses and provide an extension of single-family development
along FM 2243. The rezoning will also allow compatible uses consistent with the
development patterns in the area.
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
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 P&Z and City Council. This
application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be
complete.
The zoning change is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
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 health, safety
and general welfare of the City because it supports
orderly development by placing zoning districts in
the appropriate location.
The zoning change is compatible with the
present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the
neighborhood
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts and rural single family
development patterns.
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 RE District are appropriate
at this location given the majority of the existing
land uses surrounding the property are single family

homes on large rural residential lots.
Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The Future Land Use category of Low Density Residential supports the RE District at this
location since this category is intended to establish predominantly single family
neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density between 1.1 and 3 dwelling units per
acre. The RE District has a minimum lot size of 1-acre, promotes rural character, and is
appropriate where public utilities are limited such as this site.
2. The requested zoning at this site meets the intent of the RE District as the property will
provide low density single-family residences. The intent of the RE District is to develop
single family residences that will maintain rural single-family neighborhood characteristics
similar to the surrounding development.
3. The uses and development standards of the RE District are appropriate at this location
given the surrounding properties are primarily rural 1-acre and larger lots with single-
family residences.
4. There is sufficient water capacity at this time to accommodate the proposed rezoning from
AG to RE District at this location.
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
(3 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper
(June 5, 2016) and signs were posted on-site. To date, staff has not received any written or verbal
comments in support or against the rezoning request.
