Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
Minutes
Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.
Council and Courts Building, located at 101 E 7th Street Georgetown, TX 78626
Commissioners present: Ercel Brashear; John Marler; Kayla McCord; Travis Perthuis, Alternate; Kevin
Pitts; Gary Newman, Alternate; Josh Schroeder, Chair; Ben Stewart
Absent Tim Bargainer;
Staff Present: Sofia Nelson, Planning Director; Nat Waggoner, Long Range Planning Manager;
Andreina Davila-Quinterro, Current Planning Manager; Nathan Jones-Meyer, Planner; Jordan
Feldman, Planner; and Karen Frost, Recording Secretary.
A. Chair Schroeder called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. Marler 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.
Legislative Regular Agenda
B. Consideration and possible action of the minutes of April 17, 2018. Karen Frost, Recording
Secretary
Motion by Brashear, second by Marler to approve the minutes. Approved 7 – 0.
C. Public Hearing and possible action on a request to amend and expand the Wolf Ranch-Hillwood
Planned Unit Development (PUD), for approximately 1,120 acres (754 acres Wolf Ranch existing
PUD and the addition of 365 acres known as the Guy Tract) out of the Joseph Thompson, Clement
Stubblefield, Perry, Donagan, and Pulsifer Surveys generally bounded by Wolf Ranch Pkwy, the
south fork of the San Gabriel River and Hwy 29 (REZ-2017-025). Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Nelson presented the application and reviewed the details found in the staff report. Staff has
reviewed this PUD and states it has met the objectives of the PUD standards. The applicant has
indicated the request is necessary to rezone the Guy Tract consistent with the City's 2030
Comprehensive Plan, to make minor revisions to the Wolf Ranch PUD provisions (excluding Phase
1 of Wolf Ranch) necessitated by the addition of land to the Wolf Ranch PUD, and to update the
sign package for Wolf Ranch now that the development is underway and signage needs have been
identified with more certainty.
The proposed concept plan establishes a moderate density residential land use category south of
Wolf Ranch Pkwy and north of the South Fork of the San Gabriel River. Additionally, specified
permitted locations for MF-1 development (multi-family development 12 units per acre). The PUD
Excluding Phase 1, at full buildout, will contain approximately 2,200-2,300 detached single family
homes; 1,000- 1,100 multifamily units; two family dwellings and townhouses; and 20 acres of
commercial development.
Should the commission choose to recommend approval of this PUD staff recommends the
following conditions, these conditions have been reviewed with the applicant and they are in
concurrence:

Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3
May 1, 2018
I. Removal of the trenching detail included within the PUD.
• Staff explanation: Staff is requesting removal of this exhibit as it does not follow our standard trench
detail. The applicant has chosen to remove the detail and allow for additional discussion at the time of
platting/ public improvement construction plans.
II. Removal of the below language from Section 6d of the PUD.
Commencement of construction on the portion of San Gabriel Trail located east of the bypass shall
be initiated within 12 months of the occupancy of homes on 50 percent of the single family platted
lots located south of Wolf Ranch Parkway and east of the Southwest Bypass. Commencement of
construction of the portion of San Gabriel Trail located west of the bypass shall be initiated within
12 months of the occupancy of homes on 50 percent of the single family platted lots located west of
the Southwest Bypass and south of Hwy 29. Commencement of construction of all off-site portions
of the trail are subject to the city first acquiring all necessary easements.
• Staff explanation: After further discussion with the Parks Director and the developer we believe the
timing of the trail improvements should be memorialized as part of the MUD consent agreement or the
funding agreement that is being negotiated for the property known as the Guy tract. This will allow for
additional refinement with the Parks Director and allow the timing details to be part of the funding
agreement that will fund the trail extension.
III. Street cross sections are subject to compliance with fire code and will be further refined at the
time of platting to ensure compliance with on-street parking and turning radius.
• Staff explanation: In order to accommodate the applicant’s request for proceeding with PUD approval and
to allow for further discussions with the fire department about potential options for street design staff is
recommending approval with this condition.
Nelson listed the staff recommended conditions of the approval: Removal of the trenching detail
included within this PUD and identified as Exhibit F-7. Removal of trail construction timing from
Section 6d of the PUD. Street cross sections are subject to compliance with fire code and will be
further refined at the time of platting to ensure compliance with on-street parking and turning
radius.
The applicant, Brian Carlock, Sr. VP of Hillwood and Duke Kerrigan, Austin General Manager gave
a presentation, explaining the project and the proposed amendments.
Chair Schroeder opened the public hearing.
Jeff Latimer, 704 Greenwood Ct, lives across the river and looks upon this area. Compares this area
to what Dallas has become. The trees will be gone and he complained that the traffic would be
worse. He was concerned about when the land was annexed.
With no other speakers coming forth, Chair Schroeder closed the hearing.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions and discussed the project.
Motion by Newman to accept the PUD revisions with the recommendations of staff to add the
conditions of removing the trenching detail and the trail construction timing, and with the street
cross-sections brought to compliance with fire code. Second by Pitts. Approved 7 – 0.

Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone 4.872 acres of property with existing multifamily
development in the Hart Addition, Outlot & Booty and Lesueur Subdivision from the Office
(OF) district to High Density Multifamily (MF-2) district. The purpose of rezoning is to bring
the existing multifamily use into compliance.

Rezoning from OF to MF-2
Property History
The subject site is zoned Office (OF), and consists of a multifamily use that was built in 1986.
The current zoning district was a result of the conversion of the previous RM-3, Office and
Services, zoning district that permitted multi-family development when the Unified
Development Code (UDC) was adopted in 2003. As the current OF zoning district does not
permit multi-family residential, the existing use is considered a legal non-conforming

situation pursuant to Chapter 14 of the UDC. According to the applicant’s letter of intent,
the applicant must purchase zoning insurance due to the current zoning and non-
conforming situation. If a building were to be damaged more than 50%, the applicant
currently does not have the authority to rebuild. The correction to the zoning designation
would alleviate this condition. The applicant has submitted an application to have both the
Future Land Use Map and the zoning changed to establish a designation of the property
consistent with the current use and character of the surrounding area.
2030 Plan
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan designates land use categories on this property of Mixed-Use
Neighborhood Center. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved on May 8, 2018,
to amend the Future Land Use Map from Moderate Density Residential to Mixed-Use
Neighborhood Center.
As defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, this category of land use supports smaller areas
of mixed commercial use within existing and new neighborhoods. These areas are primarily
proposed adjacent to, or as part of, larger residential neighborhoods. Neighborhood-serving
mixed-use areas abut roadway corridors or are located at key intersections. They often
function as gateways into the neighborhoods they serve. These compact and often “walk-
to” centers provide limited retail goods and services to a local customer base, while having
minimal impact on the surrounding residential uses. They accommodate (but do not
require) mixed-use buildings with neighborhood-serving retail, service, and other uses on
the ground floor, and offices or residential units above. They may also include stand-alone
high density residential development.
Growth Tier
Tier 1A
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 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 subject properties have existing access to Railroad Ave and to 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th
Streets respectively. 13th, 14th and 15th streets are local roads. However, Railroad Ave is a
neighborhood collector with a 65-foot right-of-way, and 17th street while designated as a
Major Collector in the City’s Overall Transportation Plan also serves as a neighborhood
collector fo the area. The center point of the three (3) properties is within 800 feet of a fixed

Rezoning from OF to MF-2
route bus stop at 17th St and Railroad Ave.
Utilities
The property has existing utilities with the City of Georgetown serving as the electric,
wastewater and water service provider.
Proposed Zoning District
The applicant has requested High Density Multifamily (MF-2) zoning on this property. The
High Density Multifamily District (MF-2) is intended for attached multifamily residential
development, such as apartments and condominiums, at a density not to exceed 24 dwelling
units per acre. The MF-2 district is appropriate in areas designated on the Future Land Use
Plan as high density residential or one of the mixed-use categories.
Properties zoned MF-2 should have direct access to major thoroughfares and arterial streets
and should not route traffic through lower density residential areas. The MF-2 district is
appropriate adjacent to both residential and non-residential districts and may serve as a
transition between single-family districts and more intense commercial districts.
Staff Analysis
Staff has reviewed the rezoning request and determined that the proposed rezoning meets
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:
1. The application is complete and the information contained within the application is
sufficient and correct enough to allow adequate review and final action;
Findings 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. The application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be complete.
2. The zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
Findings Complies
The proposed zoning change complies with the Future land Use element of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan. The MF-2 District is consistent with the Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Center Future Land Use designation as this designation also supports stand-alone high
density development. In addition, The Mixed Use Neighborhood Center designation allows
for compact diverse development that mixes residential, commercial and office in a district
that supports pedestrian-friendly infrastructure and walkability. This land use category
Page 30 of 65
Planning Department Staff Report
Hart Addition, Outlot Division A, and Booty and Lesueur Addition Survey 4.872 acres Page 6 of 7
Rezoning from OF to MF-2
supports a mix of housing types at different price points increasing options and affordability.
The proposed zoning district and existing multi-family use on the property meet these goals.
3. The zoning change promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe
orderly, and healthful development of the City;
Findings Complies
The proposed rezoning would not negatively impact the immediate surrounding uses as this
portion of the City has developed with a mix of uses consistent with the requested rezoning.
In addition, the proposed MF-2 district will bring the existing use on the subject property in
conforming to the City’s zoning regulations, as well as allow for the safe, orderly and
healthful development of the area by serving as a transition into the single-family residential
neighborhood to the east.
4. The zoning change is compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood;
Findings Complies
The proposed zoning change is compatible with the immediate surrounding uses as this
portion of the City has developed with a mix of uses that support neighborhood serving uses
and high density multifamily. The existing multifamily will benefit from zoning compliance
and will support the existing walkable infrastructure by continuing to promote a mix of uses
for local residents.
5. The property to be rezoned is suitable for uses permitted by the District that would be
applied by the proposed amendment.
Findings Complies
High density multifamily is existing on-site. The potential rezoning will bring the site into
compliance with existing uses.
The proposed High Density Multifamily (MF-2) zoning supports the existing use on-site.
The Future Land Use Plan amendment approved on May 8, 2018, for Mixed-Use
Neighborhood Center was the initial step to bring the property and existing use into
compliance. Based on the information presented, staff finds that the requested High Density
Multifamily (MF-2) zoning district complies with the approval criteria for granting a
rezoning request.
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 (8 notices mailed) were notified of the
rezoning application, a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (March 18, 2018) and a sign was posted on-site. These notices included the
public hearing scheduled for City Council on April 24, 2018.

Re: Future Land Use Map and Rezoning change application
To whom it may concern,
The Rail at Georgetown hereby requests to have its current zoning designation “OF” changed to “MF2”. The Rail at
Georgetown is a 1986 111-unit multi-family community. We are submitting this application to have both the
Future Land Use Map and the zoning changed. Due to the current zoning we are forced to purchase zoning
insurance if a building were to be damaged more than 50% we currently do not have the authority to rebuild. The
correction to the zoning designation would alleviate this condition. If you have any question please contact me at
281-794-7771. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.

Property History
The subject property is currently undeveloped. It was annexed into the City in 2011 via
Ordinance No. 2011-58, at which time it was zoned Agriculture (AG). The subject property
was rezoned from Agriculture (AG) to General Commercial (C-3) on May 8, 2018. The
applicant has submitted for a special use permit to develop the property with a general
automotive repair facility.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan designates land use categories on this property of Mixed-Use
Neighborhood Center projecting compact centers with limited retail goods and services for a
local customer base. They accommodate (but do not require) mixed-use buildings with
neighborhood-serving retail, service, and other uses on the ground floor, and offices or
residential units above. They may also include stand-alone high density residential
development. Uses in these areas might include a corner store, small grocery, coffee shops,
hair salons, dry cleaners and other personal services, as well as small professional offices and
upper story apartments. They may also include noncommercial uses such as churches,
schools, or small parks. In new neighborhoods, in particular, the exact size, location, and
design of these areas should be subject to a more specific approval process, to ensure an
appropriate fit with the surrounding residential pattern
The property is located in the Corridor Plan of the Williams Drive Study. The corridor plan is
a context-sensitive plan for the approximate four miles of Williams Drive, between Jim Hogg
Road and Lakeway Drive. The plan addresses access management strategies, multi-modal
transportation elements, safety and operational improvements, and recommendations for a
private realm built-form that supports different modes of transportation and a sense of place.
See street cross section recommendation for the portion of the corridor between Cedar Lake
and Serenada:

Special Use Permit
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A. 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 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 subject property has public road frontage along Williams Drive. Williams Drive is
identified as an existing Major Arterial in the Overall Throughfare Plan. Major arterials
connect major traffic generators and land use concentrations, and serve much larger traffic
volumes over greater distances. There is a shared driveway on the adjacent properties to the
south. Access to the subject property may be from this shared driveway as an additional
driveway on the subject property would not meet minimum spacing and distance
requirements.
Utilities
The subject property is located within the City’s service area for electric, water, and
Page 43 of 65
Planning Department Staff Report
Edgestone Auto Repair Page 5 of 8
Special Use Permit
wastewater. It is anticipated that there will be adequate capacity to serve this property either
by existing capacity or developer participation in future upgrades to infrastructure. Utility
evaluations will be required at the time of site development plan to ensure sufficient capacity.
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
district appropriate along freeways and major arterials.
Typical uses in this district include general retail, hotels, restaurants, and general office.
Attachment 4 contains a comprehensive list of C-3 district allowable uses and development
standards. Certain land uses, including automotive sales, rental or leasing facilities, require a
Special Use Permit (SUP). Some land uses have specific design limitations to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding properties.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
The proposed SUP was reviewed by the applicable City departments. Major comments
identified included proposed location of driveway and access to the site. These comments
were addressed by the applicant.
Staff Analysis
Staff has reviewed the applicant’s request and justification for the request to establish an
General Automotive Repair and Service facility on the 0.921-acre subject property. The
following is the pertinent section of the UDC related to this request:
The UDC, in Section 3.07.030.C, states that the Planning & Zoning Commission and 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.
Complies It does not appear that the proposed
automotive repair facility will be directly
injurious or detrimental to the public
health, welfare or safety in the
neighborhood. According to the
applicant, the automotive repair
activities will be conducted within the

building (interior), thus minimizing the
impact that the proposed use may have
on the adjacent residential neighborhood.
If approved, the proposed use would be
subject to the minimum required
development standards of the C-3
District including, but not limited to,
setbacks, landscape buffers (10-foot wide
planting area along the north property
line), building design, screening and
lighting standards.
2. The proposed conceptual
site layout, circulation plan,
and design are harmonious
with the character of the
surrounding area.

Complies with
Condition
The uses surrounding the property are low
intensity commercial and residential uses.
Although the use is not generally
compatible with the surrounding existing
uses (low impact commercial and
residential), the applicant is proposing to
conduct all operations indoor within the
enclosed building. Additionally, the design
partially complies with conditions that
include the number of landscaping plants
required in a medium level bufferyard be
included in the ten foot bufferyard along
the north portion of the property; and that
priority be placed on the minimum
landscape requirements and proposed
enhanced landscaping over the excess
parking spaces proposed on site. This
design concept of Edgestone Automotive
will lessen the impact that the automotive
use will have on the abutting and nearby
residential properties.

as police and fire protection and solid

infrastructure and services to adequately

there will be adequate capacity to serve
the proposed use.
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,

or other injurious or noxious
impact.
Complies 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 findings that the proposed request
partially complies with the Approval Criteria for granting the SUP. In particular, staff finds that:
1. The intent of the Mixed Use Neighborhood Center category in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
is for a mixture of different types of residential uses and densities that are complemented
by supporting retail, small to medium scale development. In this case, the proposed use is
for an automotive repair facility. The proposed use does not comply with the
Comprehensive Plan because it is not within the desired pattern of future land uses for the
area. However, 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 along this portion of the corridor.
While staff acknowledges that the subject property is located along a Major Arterial that
supports regional commercial uses, the subject property is surrounded by residential and
local or neighborhood commercial uses that are less intense than the proposed general
automotive repair use.
2. Although it appears that the site layout is harmonious with the character of the surrounding
area today, and the applicant has taken measures to minimize the impact that the proposed
use may have on the surrounding residential and local and neighborhood serving
commercial uses, the proposed use is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which
designates this area for residential development with complementing retail and office. There
Page 46 of 65
Planning Department Staff Report

Special Use Permit
are existing single-family immediately to the north, and multi-family development within
the surrounding area.
3. The proposed building design for the automotive repair facility is a less intense concept
intended to conduct all operations within the enclosed building. The indoor design lessens
the impact auto repair generally has on surrouding properties and uses. In addition, the
exterior design is respectful of the surrounding less intense uses.
Should the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of this request, the
Commission may consider the following conditions as recommendation for approval:
1. The number of landscaping plants required in a medium level bufferyard be included
in the ten foot bufferyard along the north portion of the property; and
2. Priority be placed on the minimum landscape requirements and proposed enhanced
landscaping over the excess parking spaces proposed on site.
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 (8 notices mailed) were notified of
the Special Use Permit application, a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in
the Sun Newspaper and signs were posted on-site. To date, staff has received zero public
comments regarding the applicant’s proposal.

Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the .63-acre subject site from Townhouse (TH) to Residential
Single-Family (RS) district to develop it with detached, single-family structures.
Site Information
Location:
The subject site is located on West Street, between 13th and 14th Streets. The subject site is one block
south of W University Avenue.
Physical Characteristics:
The property is undeveloped. There are a few small trees on site.

Moderate Density

West Office (OF)* Mixed Use Neighborhood
Center Multi-family development
*The property to the west is currently under review for rezoning from the Office (OF) to High Density
Multi-Family (MF-2) district.
Property History:
The subject site was rezoned in 2017 from Office (OF) to Townhome (TH) with the intent of the property
owner developing the land with townhomes. Through the development process, the applicant was
advised that development of the property would require the extension of water and wastewater lines
along the western property boundary per requirements for platting to accommodate the number of lots
proposed. The applicant decided that it was not feasible and/or cost effective for the development to
extend the two lines. Consequently, the property owner submitted this request to rezone the property
for single-family use.
Comprehensive Plan Guidance
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site 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
Page 57 of 65
City of Georgetown Planning Department Staff Report
Case No.: REZ-2018-006
West Street Rezoning Page 3 of 5
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 subject property is located within Growth Tier 1A. 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 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 subject property has roadway frontage on 3 sides: West Street, W 13th Street, and W 14th Street.
These streets are classified as local streets. Access to the subject site may be provided from all three
streets.
Utilities
The subject site is located in the City of Georgetown service area for electric, water and wastewater.
There are no foreseen issues with providing these services to the subject site for the permitted uses in
the Residential Single-Family (RS) district.
Proposed Zoning District:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to Residential Single-Family (RS). This 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. The
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 uses within this district uses include detached single-family homes, and attached single-
family homes with limitations.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
The proposed zoning map amendment was reviewed by the applicable City departments. No technical
review comments were issued for the proposed request.
Staff Analysis
1. The application is complete and the information contained within the application is
sufficient and correct enough to allow adequate review and final action.
Findings Complies
An application must provide the necessary information to review and make a knowledgeable
Page 58 of 65
City of Georgetown Planning Department Staff Report
Case No.: REZ-2018-006
West Street Rezoning Page 4 of 5
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.
2. The zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Findings Complies
The zoning change is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Map,
an element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, designates the subject site for Moderate Density
Residential, therefore this rezoning request would meets the purpose and intent of this Future
Land Use designation.
3. The zoning change promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe
orderly, and healthful development of the City.
Findings Complies
The subject site is currently zoned for townhomes; therefore, this zoning district, should it be
approved, would allow a less intense use and would generate less traffic to the area. This zoning
district promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of the City, and would provide the safe,
orderly, and healthful development of the surrounding residential neighborhood and other
neighborhood supporting non-residential uses.
4. The zoning change is compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby
property and with the character of the neighborhood.
Findings Partially Complies
This rezoning request would be consistent with the character of the neighborhood; however,
while much of the area is single -family homes, many of them have been rezoned for Office or
local commercial and service uses. Zoning to the north is Office (OF) and C-1 (Local
Commercial); west is currently under review for High Density Multifamily (MF-2) zoning; east
has Residential and Office zoning districts (2 OF and 2 RS); and south is zoned Office. In
addition, the subject site is located within an area of the city that has been developed with a mix
of uses ranging from personal services and retail, to multi-family and other residential uses.
While the current Townhouse (TH) district will serve as a better transition from these uses to
the single-family neighborhood, the Residential Single-Family (RS) district is compatible with
the surrounding neighborhood.
5. The property to be rezoned is suitable for uses permitted by the District that would be
applied by the proposed amendment.
Findings Complies
The subject site is proposed to be developed as single-family residential, thus the use would be
in compliance with the proposed zoning change. The subject site in this rezoning case would
be required to develop in accordance for what is permitted in the RS zoning district, if the
request were to be approved.
While the requested rezoning to RS fits in with the neighborhood since the majority of uses that are
existing in the area are single-family homes, zoning patterns have moved to facilitating office and

City of Georgetown Planning Department Staff Report
Case No.: REZ-2018-006
West Street Rezoning Page 5 of 5
commercial uses, as well as multi-family while also having single-family residential. However, the
request is still consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Based on these findings, staff finds that
the proposed request meets the criteria outlined in UDC Section 3.06.030 for a zoning map amendment
(rezoning).
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 (24 notices
mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper (April 28, 2018)
and signs were posted on-site. As of the publication date of this report, staff has received no written
comments on the request.
