Marler; Kayla McCord; Gary Newman; Travis Perthuis, Alternate; Josh Schroeder, Chair;
Absent: Ben Stewart
Staff Present: Sofia Nelson, Planning Director; David Munk, Development Engineer; Andreina Davila-
Quinterro, Current Planning Manager; Robyn Miga, Planner; Nathan Jones-Meyer, Planner; Jordan
Feldman, Planner; and Karen Frost, Recording Secretary.
A. Chair Schroeder called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Stewart led the pledge of allegiance.
Chair Schroeder stated the order of the meeting and that those who speak must turn in a speaker form
to the recording secretary before the item that they wish to address begins.
Consent Agenda
The Statutory Consent Agenda includes non-controversial and routine items that may be acted
upon with one single vote. An item may be pulled from the Consent Agenda in order that it be
discussed and acted upon individually as part of the Regular Agenda.
B. Consideration and possible action of the minutes of June 19, 2018. Karen Frost, Recording
Secretary
C. Consideration and possible action on a Final Plat for approximately 29.140 acres out of and a
portion of the William Robert Survey No. 4, Abstract No. 524, generally located on the west side
of Shell Road, north of Sycamore Street, to be known as the Arbors at Georgetown Village
Subdivision (FP-2018-024). Andreina Dávila-Quintero, Current Planning Manager.
Newman recused himself for the consent agenda items. Chappell took his seat
Motion by Brashear, second by Marler. Approved 6 – 0.
Newman took his seat back on the dais. Bargainer came on also.
Legislative Regular Agenda
D. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone approximately 33.6486 acres
consisting of Lots 1 and 2, Bonnet Subdivision, Lots 1 through 6, Legend Oaks Section II
Subdivision, and 5.273 acres out of the Joseph P. Pulsifer Survey, Abstract No. 498, from
Agriculture (AG), Office (OF), and Local Commercial (C-1) zoning districts, to the General
Commercial (C-3) zoning district, generally located in the 1300 block of W University Ave
between Wolf Ranch Parkway and River Chase Boulevard, to be known as Bluebonnet Plaza
(REZ-2018-010). Robyn Miga, Planner
Miga presented the staff report. This meets 4 of the 5 criteria for rezoning. It only partially
complies with the adjacent properties and is similar in character. There have been no comments
for or against this property.
Brashear asked about the buffer on the backside that abuts the residential subdivision. Miga
Page 4 of 26
Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3
June 19, 2018
explains that Hillwood has already been providing a good buffer. It will also have a greater
setback because of the C-3 zoning standards. Marler asked about the partial compliance and
why the residents behind this property have not spoken out. There was discussion about
providing a transition between the C-3 to the residential zoning district. Davila explained the
developer has already provided a 50 foot landscape buffer as a platted open-space lot.
Chair Schroeder opened the public hearing and with no speakers coming forth, closed the
hearing.
Motion by Marler to recommend approval to Council of the rezoning as presented. Second
by Stewart. Approved 7 – 0.
E. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone approximately 0.2610 acres consisting
of all of Lot 4 and part of Lot 3, Block 1, Hart Addition, from the Office (OF) zoning district to
the Residential Single-Family (RS) zoning district, located at 608 W 15th Street (REZ-2018-011).
Nathan Jones, Planner
Perthuis recused himself for this item and Chappell took his seat.
Jones presented the staff report. He explained that this property was zoned as Office when the
zoning districts changed from RM-3 to Office and this application is to correctly zone the
property from its current legal non-conforming status. He finds that this property complies
with all 5 criteria of rezoning.
Brashear asked about the adjacent uses that are zoned OF and the impact of changing this
property in the midst of that. The commission discussed the implications on adjacent
properties if this property is rezoned, and the impact on the neighbors that would have to add
buffers and have additional standards because they are next to a residential use.
Peyton Lewis, applicant, states that if you drive these streets you would see that this area is
completely residential. The comprehensive plan shows moderate density residential, not office.
It does not seem possible that offices will be built back in that area.
Chair Schroeder opened the public hearing and with no speakers coming forth, closed the
hearing.
Motion by Bargainer, second by Marler to recommend to council approval of the rezoning
application. Marler says this seems like the property should be residential. Brashear is still
bothered by downzoning the property and the possible financial impact of the adjacent
properties. He thinks there are unintended consequences and would prefer to rezone the entire
block.
Vote. 6 – 1 (Brashear opposed.)
F. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to rezone approximately 4.62 acres in the
William Addison Survey, Abstract 21, from the Residential Single-Family (RS) zoning district to
the Public Facility (PF) zoning district, located at 2705 E SH-29 to be known as Fire Station #7
(REZ-2018-012). Nathan Jones, Planner
Jones presented the staff report. Staff finds that this application complies with all 5 criteria for
rezoning.
Chair Schroeder opened the public hearing.

Jem Novak, Keenland Drive, has three major concerns. There is already a lot of traffic noise and
expects noise at night with the sirens and possible alarms. She is also concerned about traffic.
She is also concerned about her property values and resale of her house in the vicinity of the
Motion by Brashear to recommend to Council approval of the rezoning of the 4.26 acres as
presented. Second by Stewart. Approved 7 – 0.
G. Updates and Announcements. Sofia Nelson, Planning Director.
Davila reported that she had information that had been requested.
First she introduced Patrick Bauer, the Planning Department intern for the summer.
She said that the Pipeline Map and Annual Report were sent today, please let staff know if there
are any questions or concerns about those.
She also discussed the setbacks notes on the plat were confusing and that those would not be
included from now on. Brashear says his concerns were based on vesting requirements. He
wanted the note to be amended to not include “in accordance with the standards of the UDC”.
He wants the date of the UDC standards in effect, but also says it should be in effect as the date
of the recordation of the plat. Davila explains that Chapter 245 of the Local Government Code
has different criteria for vesting and each note is based on the determination.
Brashear either wants the note removed, or the date of the UDC standards added. Davila says
the notes will be reviewed and removed if in question. Nelson says staff agrees with Brashear
and the notes will be reviewed for adding value or not.
Davila reports the back-up materials will be added to the agenda packets to include
presentations for discussion, and looking for ways to improve the information and packets that
go to the commission.
Adjournment
Motion by Newman, second by Marler to adjourn at 6:48 pm.

Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone 44.4 acres of land in the Francis A. Hudson Survey
from AG, Agriculture, to RS, Residential Single-Family. The applicant’s intent is to develop
the property for a single-family residential subdivision.
This request also includes rezoning of the property to the Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
district. The subject property is also located within the FM 1460 corridor, which has been
identified as one of the City’s gateways under Unified Development Code (UDC) Section
4.11. Applicability of the gateway overlay standards to the subject property requires the
subject property to be zoned as Gateway Overlay district.
Site Information
Location:
The property is a vacant piece of land located adjacent to the La Conterra subdivision, as
well as bound on the north, west, and south side by the Teravista subdivision. It’s located
south of La Conterra Blvd, west of FM 1460, and north of Teravista.
Physical Characteristics:
The property is generally vacant with sparse tree coverage on the northern boundary near
where a small amount of floodplain is located. There is also a single-family home on the site.

Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
Surrounding Properties:
The subject property is located within a portion of the City that has primarily developed
with residential uses, including La Conterra, Teravista, Westhaven and Kasper
subdivisions. In addition, it is located less than ½ a mile from Westinghouse Road, a
major thoroughfare that is currently being developed with a mix of uses including service
retail (i.e. fuel station) and multi-family.
Property History
The subject property is zoned AG, Agriculture. The property was recently brought into the
City of Georgetown under Ordinance No. 2018-28 following a voluntary annexation
petition, which was approved on June 26, 2018.
2030 Comprehensive Plan Guidance
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan designates land use categories on this property is Moderate
Density Residential.
The Moderate Density Residential category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as
comprising single family neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density ranging
between 3.1 and 6 dwelling units per gross acre, with housing types including small-lot
detached and attached single-family dwellings (such as townhomes). This category may
also support complementary non-residential uses along major roadways such as
neighborhood-serving retail, office, institutional, and civic uses, although such uses may not
be depicted on the Future Land Use Map.
Growth Tier
The grand majority of the subject property (approximately 40 acres) is located within
Growth Tier 1B; the north 4.8 acres is located within Growth Tier 2.

Tier 1B is the area within the present city limits, or subject to a development agreement,
surrounding Tier 1A that is 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
(that portion of the city where infrastructure systems are in place or can be provided)
approaches build-out. This includes area subject to development agreements or annexation
service plans, which mandate the provision of public facilities at varying levels of service.
Other than this commitment, the City’s priorities for capital improvements should focus on
the development of a full array of services and facilities with adequate capacities in Tier 1A,
prior to initiating additional major investments in Tier 1B.
Tier 2 is the City’s Intermediate Growth Area. These portions of land lie outside of the city
limits, but are within the City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). This area likely will be
needed to serve the city’s growth needs over the next 10-20 years. Until annexation occurs,
City land use and development controls are limited to subdivision review and signage, and
in some cases building permits where City utilities are connected to new construction.
However, the City may consider requests for annexation, extensions of City services, and
rezonings in this area.
The Applicant has gone through the annexation process in order to bring this tract into the
City of Georgetown to be served by city services.
Transportation
This property will be accessed from FM 1460, as well as a local street stub out that was
provided to the north off of La Conterra Blvd through the Teravista Sec. 402 subdivision.
Local streets are intended to provide access to adjoining properties by collecting the traffic
from surrounding areas and distributing it to adjoining collectors or arterial streets. Local
streets can access both collector level streets and arterial level streets.
In addition, the subject property is approximately 500 feet south of La Conterra Blvd, and
½ mile north of Westinghouse Road. According to the City’s Overall Transportation Plan
(OTP), La Conterra Blvd is classified as a Major Collector, and FM 1460 and Westinghouse
Rd are classified as a Major Arterial. Major Collectors are intended to balance traffic between
arterial streets and local streets. These streets tend to carry a high volume of traffic over
shorter distances, providing access and movement between neighborhoods, parks, schools,
retail areas and the arterial street system. Arterial streets provide traffic movement through
and between different areas within the city and access to adjacent land uses. Access is more
controllable because driveway spacing requirements are much greater and, if safety dictates,
overall access can be limited to specific turning movements. Major Arterials connect major
traffic generators and land use concentrations and serve much larger traffic volumes over
greater distances.

Planning Department Staff Report
2700 FM 1460- Keyes Tract Page 5 of 8
Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
The close proximity of the subject property to several major thoroughfares provide
alternative means of access to the surrounding areas, city core and greater region.
Utilities
The subject property is located within the City of Georgetown’s service area for water and
wastewater. It is also located within the Oncor Electric service area. It is anticipated that
there is adequate capacity to serve the subject property through the extension of utilities
across the property.
Proposed Zoning District
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to RS, Residential Single-Family. The RS
district allows for medium density and its minimum lot size is 5,500 square feet. The RS
district contains standards for development that maintain single-family neighborhood
characteristics. The RS district may be located within proximity of neighborhood-friendly
commercial and public services and protected from incompatible uses. All housing types in
the RS district shall use the lot, dimensional and design standards of the district.
Permitted land uses within the district include detached single-family homes and group
homes with 6 or less residents. Attached single-family homes, churches, family home day
care, and schools among other uses are permitted subject to specific design limitations to
ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties. Other uses such as accessory
dwelling units, bed and breakfast, group day care, general office and other similar uses may
be permitted subject to approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP). Exhibit 4 contains a
comprehensive list of RS district permitted uses and development standards.
In addition, due to the location of the subject property along FM 1460, this rezoning request
also includes rezoning into one of the Gateway Overlay districts, specifically the Scenic-
Natural Gateway Overlay district. The purpose of the Gateway Overlays is to protect and
enhance the entrance corridors to the City with landscaping, setbacks, and special design
standards. The intent of the Gateways are to establish entrance corridors that herald the
approach to the City, define the arrival to a destination, and link common elements together.
The purpose of the design standards for the Scenic-Natural Gateway corridors is to maintain
the existing informal character as they develop. For developments that occur along the
Scenic-Natural Gateways, designers are to integrate the natural characteristics of the land
into the landscape design. Informal tree massing, planting of under story trees,
incorporation of native stones and boulders and use of native grasses and wildflowers are
examples of how to blend required plantings with native plantings.
Staff Analysis
Staff has reviewed the rezoning request and determined that the proposed rezoning meets
Page 12 of 26
Planning Department Staff Report
2700 FM 1460- Keyes Tract Page 6 of 8
Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
the criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for zoning changes.
The Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council shall review the following criteria for
zoning changes:
APPROVAL CRITERIA FINDINGS STAFF COMMENTS
1. The application is complete
and the information
contained within the
application is sufficient
and correct enough to
allow adequate review and
final action.
Complies 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.
Staff reviewed the application and deemed
it complete.
2. The zoning change is
consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Complies The proposed zoning change is consistent
with Future Land Use element of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land
Use map designates the property with the
Moderate Density Residential category,
which encourages residential development
at a density ranging between 3.1 and 6
dwelling units per acre. The RS district
supports medium density residential
development by setting a specific
minimum lot size to accomplish the
desired density, and restricting the
number of dwelling units that are allow on
one lot. The Scenic-Natural Gateway
Overlay district requires enhanced
landscaping along major thoroughfares,
which will result in a natural buffer
between a heavily traffic transportation
corridor and future residential uses.
The RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway
Overlay districts are appropriate for the
property due to the Future Land Use map
designating the area for Moderate Density
Residential, as well as being compatible
with surrounding land uses.
3. The zoning change
promotes the health, safety
Complies The proposed zoning districts promote the
safe, orderly, and healthful development
Page 13 of 26
Planning Department Staff Report
2700 FM 1460- Keyes Tract Page 7 of 8
Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
APPROVAL CRITERIA FINDINGS STAFF COMMENTS
or general welfare of the
City and the safe orderly,
and healthful development
of the City.
of the City by encouraging development
on a parcel completely surrounded by
single-family subdivisions. The property
will be required to be built to all city
standards at the time of subdivision
platting, which includes meeting all fire,
landscaping (including gateway
landscaping), block length, lot size and
cross access requirements in order to
promote a healthful and orderly
development. The Teravista Sec. 402 plat
provides a stub out on the northern
boundary of the subject property, and
property owner will work with the
Engineering Department to ensure the
subdivision entry on the eastern boundary
along FM 1460 meets minimum sight
distance and separation requirements. The
proposed RS district is appropriate for this
property due to being almost completely
surrounded by single-family subdivisions,
as well as being in an area called out for
moderate density residential. The Scenic-
Natural Gateway Overlay district will
ensure that this gateway into the City is
maintained in accordance with the
enhanced landscaping features outlined of
the Code.
4. The zoning change is
compatible with the
present zoning and
conforming uses of nearby
property and with the
character of the
neighborhood.
Complies This property is bound by single-family
developments, both in the City and in the
ETJ located along one of the City’s major
thoroughfares that also serves as a
gateway into the City. Therefore, the RS
and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
zoning districts fit with the character of
the present zoning and conforming uses of
nearby properties.
5. The property to be rezoned
is suitable for uses
Complies The proposed RS zoning district permits
single-family uses by right. The property

Rezoning from AG to RS and Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay
APPROVAL CRITERIA FINDINGS STAFF COMMENTS
permitted by the District
that would be applied by
the proposed amendment.
to be rezoned is suitable for uses that are
allowed in this zoning district, based on
the surrounding neighborhoods and the
character of the area, the Future Land Use
map calling for moderate density
residential, as well as meeting the criteria
for rezoning to the RS, residential single-
family zoning district.
The Scenic-Natural Gateway Overlay does
not regulate permitted uses on the subject
property. Standards related to this district
include additional landscaping along the
FM 1460 roadway to enhance this gateway
entrance into the City consistent with
other properties located along this
corridor.
Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius
of the subject property and within the city limits (1 notice mailed), as well as the Georgetown
Independent School District (GISD) were notified of the rezoning application, a legal notice
advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper (July 1, 2018) and a sign
was posted on-site. These notices included the public hearing scheduled for City Council on
August 14, 2018.
No written or verbal comments have been received by the Planning Department staff.
