City of Georgetown, Texas
Tuesday, October 25, 2016
The Georgetown City Council will meet on Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 3:00 PM at the Council Chambers, at 101
E. 7th St., Georgetown, Texas
The city of Georgetown is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you
require assistance in participating at a public meeting due to a disability, as defined under the ADA, reasonable
assistance, adaptations, or accommodations will be provided upon request. Please contact the City Secretary’s

Policy Development/Review Workshop – Call to order at 3:00 PM
A. Presentation and discussion regarding proposed updates to the Main Street Façade & Sign Grant Program
and addressing additional questions -- Shelly Hargrove, Main Street Manager and Taylor Kidd, Chair of the
Main Street Advisory Board
Shelly Hargrove began the discussion regarding proposed updates to the Main Street Façade & Sign Grant
program. She recognized the Main Street Advisory Board and said that she would begin the presentation
followed by the Main Street Advisory Board Chair, Taylor Kidd.
Hargrove said that discussion goals would include a review of the current and proposed Main Street Façade
and Grant Program and follow-up from the September 27 workshop and Council direction from that meeting.
Hargrove said that Taylor Kidd would present the Main Street Advisory Board’s recommended purpose for
the grant program. She explained that Fire Chief, John Sullivan would provide a map of downtown fire
suppression locations. Hargrove said the distribution of information on the grant program would be reviewed
and direction from the City Council would be requested.
Hargrove displayed the Main Street Façade and Sign Grant Program chart showing the comparison of the
current application requirements and the proposed application requirements.
Page 6 of 116
Taylor Kidd, Chair of the Main Street Advisory Board, spoke on the Grant Program’s Purpose Statement.
Georgetown Main Street Program’s Façade and Sign Grant Program provides resources which preserve,
protect and enhance commercial property in the Downtown Overlay District.
Kidd explained that this is key to keeping Georgetown the Most Beautiful Downtown and is a testament to the
City Council’s commitment. He explained that staff was unable to find an historical statement of purpose and
that the current board drafted and adopted the current purpose statement. He said the newly approved
purpose statement serves as a guiding principal for the program. Kidd explained that the program invests in
small business and keeps the City’s intent for the Most Beautiful Downtown and to be an attractive
destination location.
Councilmember Fought asked about the façade and sign program. He said he believes that the original
intention was to beautify the outside of buildings, and fire prevention is an inside expense. Fought said
assisting with fire prevention expense is getting too close to doing what should be done by the property
owner. He explained that if the City were to open the door to fix someone’s inside and not do the same for
others, it becomes unfair. Fought said he wants the grant funding to stick to the outside of a structure.
Fought mentioned that fire prevention should be supported by a different program, not the sign facade
program. Taylor Kidd said this program has worked on inside changes for many years. Kidd said the fund
works to protect the downtown overlay district both structurally and with safety concerns. Fought said he
does agree with funding for accessibility.
Kidd displayed and discussed the grant program revenue vs. expenses for 2012 through 2016. He explained
that adding fire suppression allows the board to spend the money to show the impact of the fund. Kidd said
that the board had unanimously approved the proposed changes.
Hargrove spoke on the need to protect the downtown overlay district and showed fire suppression locations in
Downtown. Hargrove noted that fire suppression is intended to protect the investment downtown. She
provided pictures of fires caused by faulty old electrical wiring.
Page 7 of 116
Hargrove spoke next on the distribution of the grant program. She passed out a pamphlet that is used as a
guide for business owners to educate them on how to apply for a grant through the program. Hargrove
explained the Guide for New Downtown Business Owners and said it is distributed at the following places.
• Quarterly Breakfast Bites and Downtown Low Down Meetings
• Downtown Block Captains through the EV Committee
• Planning and Permitting Departments
• Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors Center
• Local Sign Companies
• Annual Georgetown Swirl event and website
• Online version on mainstreet.georgetown.org
Hargrove explained the direction she is seeking from the City Council.
• Consider increasing the maximum façade matching grant amount from $10,000 to $20,000
• Consider adding fire sprinkler and suppression systems and the removal of barriers to public
accessibility to the eligible grant work
Councilmember Fought spoke on the method of grant acceptance and said he is not in favor of the first come
first serve method. Hargrove said it was set up as a sense of urgency by first come first serve. She
explained that she had sent an email request to other main street programs in Texas and found that all use
the first come first serve method. Hargrove said new business is always coming and going and staff and the
board want to respond in a quick manner. They would not be able to provide swift assistance if the request
had to be tabled to wait for other requests. Hargrove said she currently has 4 grant applications on her desk.
She said most people would not be able to fit their project within set deadlines. City Manager, David Morgan,
reminded the Council that minimum application standards must be met before grant consideration. He
explained that in the last several years there has been more funding than requests and all requests have met
the standards. He noted that these are fund raising funds that are available. Fought said he could support
the method as long as there remains more funds than requests but would want to rethink the method if that
stops being the case. Mayor Ross asked if all restaurants are required to have fire suppression. Hargrove
confirmed. Hargrove said she was hoping all businesses would install fire suppression in order to protect all
of downtown.
Hesser asked about the original objective and said it seems as if the program has been a fly by the seat of
your pants situation. Hargrove said there has been a mission statement that has been followed even though
the purpose statement is new. Hesser said he is against paying for fire suppression because the owner
should want to follow code. Hargrove explained that only restaurants are required to have fire suppression.
She said it has been cost prohibitive for most of the business owners downtown. She explained that the
Page 8 of 116
pressed metal ceilings make it more costly. Hesser said he does not want to expand the program to fire
suppression.
Jonrowe thanked Hargrove for the presentation. She said staff is the most in touch with business owners and
Council does not need to manage this program. Jonrowe said the Main Street Advisory Board has raised a
lot of money and knows what improvements are needed. She added that she supports the 50/50 match up to
the maximum.
Councilmember Eby said she agrees with Jonrowe. She said she felt that there had been unfair
characterizations made from the dais. Eby said flying by the seat of your pants was unfair when so much has
been raised and safety of the downtown is the discussion. Eby suggested changing the name of the
program to better fit what needs to be done.
Hesser said he would like to discontinue the City’s $15,000.00 contribution to the program and allow the Main
Street Advisory Board to operate any way they wish.
Mayor Ross said the Council seems to be split and asked that an action item for a vote be placed on the next
practical meeting agenda.
B. Update on Unified Development Code amendment process and presentation of recommendations from the
Unified Development Code Advisory Committee -- Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Sofia Nelson, the Planning Director, provided the presentation on the proposed updates for the Unified
Development Code amendment process. She explained that transportation will be discussed at the next
meeting.
Nelson described the project team and provided a process recap. She explained that she would be
presenting the recommendations from the Unified Development Code Advisory Committee for infrastructure
and public improvements and development applications.
Nelson displayed a requested feedback sheet and explained that she would request Council direction on
each topic.
Nelson explained that the project has been the work of many and congratulated the entire team and noted the
importance of each individual’s contribution.
Page 9 of 116
Nelson provided a process recap.
Nelson spoke on the board’s review of Chapter 13, Infrastructure & Public Improvement. She said they
reviewed provisions related to water and wastewater improvements and extension requirements, a Priority
Number 1.
Nelson said Part 1 sections reviewed included codification of current practice for requesting voluntary
annexation and the codification of when infrastructure should be underground.
Nelson explained the codification of current practice for requesting voluntary annexation.
• Properties in the ETJ that desire or require fire flow service shall first submit a petition for voluntary
annexation.
Page 10 of 116
• Properties in the ETJ that desire or require wastewater service shall first submit a petition for
voluntary annexation
Councilmember Jonrowe asked about the Chisholm Trail annexation. Nelson said water only is required.
Wesley Wright, Systems Engineering Director, explained that areas outside of ETJ are served on the
Western District and their fire protection is provided by providers other than the City of Georgetown. He
explained that services to provide water are negotiated and the UDC does not apply.
Nelson spoke on the codification of underground electric utility assignment policy. She explained that utilities
are required to be underground except for alley ways. She explained that transformers must be behind main
buildings and behind the street yard.
Fought said he likes the direction the City is going. He asked who takes care of supplying the correct fire flow
and who pays, when a request for fire flow is made. Wesley Wright said this takes place at the development
stage and a City Engineer deciphers the needed improvements. If the City is able to supply services, as
when services are already intended in the area, the City will agree, without cost to the developer. Wright
explained that if the City would not be supplying services in that area anyway, then the cost is to the
developer. If infrastructure is not a priority to the City, it will need to be a negotiation, explained Wright.
Mayor Ross asked about voluntary annexation and utilities provided. Nelson elaborated. She then asked for
direction from Council. Ross asked Nelson to continue on with the presentation and receive Council
direction at the end. Ross then asked Nelson to confirm that most utilities are being moved underground.
Nelson confirmed.
Jonrowe asked about existing or new design in the alley and asked for the reasoning behind it. Nelson said it
is for aesthetics. She said there is no current requirement for underground utilities and that it is just a policy.
Nelson said it is much more expensive to go underground. She explained that alleys can cost less for the
developer. Nelson said the option is available. Ross asked if Council wanted underground utilities in all
cases or if they wanted options. Hesser asked who owns the alley. Nelson said the home owners
association, in most cases. Eby said she would support options offered. The other councilmembers agreed.
Nelson spoke on Part 2 Sections to be reviewed.
• Review of Development Application Order
• Establishing requirement for Development Plat
• Review of plat extensions
• Establishing a subdivision variance process
Nelson showed the Development Application Order. She explained that different applications related to the
same development may be made simultaneously within each application group listed.
Page 11 of 116
Nelson provided images for development plats and plat extensions. She explained to Council that the
recommendations would be to require a development plat but that the UDC Committee is still working on this
and additional conversations will be needed.
Hesser asked if there could be two tracts by two different developers. Nelson said this would be an illegal
subdivision and they could do this only for their own tract.
Nelson explained that currently a developer can own a property for two years before applying for a two year
extension before platting, allowing, essentially, 4 years. The UDC would propose that an extension is for 6
months instead of two years, limiting the non- development to 2.5 years instead of 4.
Page 12 of 116
Fought asked about impact fees. Nelson said currently impact fees are established at the preliminary plat
stage and 4 years could go by before submitting a final plat. This amendment would only allow 2.5 years.
Fought said he liked the idea.
Nelson spoke on the Subdivision Variance Process. She explained that the proposed changes would allow
an additional amount of appeals in the process.
Mayor Ross asked about the new 2.5 years. Nelson said it would be helpful because it would require the
development to be a true development and would promote the need to move to final platting. She said it
would also create the need to access new impact fees. Ross asked Nelson if the City received any feedback
from developers on this. Nelson said it had been reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission, which has
members who are developers. Nelson said it would also be brought to the public.
C. Discussion on the Overall Transportation Plan (OTP) Amendment for a proposed collector located West of I-
35 and East of Airport Road -- Sofia Nelson, Planning Director
Sofia Nelson, the Planning Director, explained the amendment for a proposed collector located west of I35
and east of Airport Road. She said she would provide an overview of the Overall Transportation Plan (OTP)
Map, review the transportation connectivity on the northern end of the City, focus on the specific section of
the OTP west of I35 and east of Airport Road and request Council direction to proceed with the OTP map
amendment process.
Page 13 of 116
Page 14 of 116
Nelson explained that the proposed amendment would remove a segment of road, as the development will
not be needing it for the industrial development in the area.
Nelson explained the direction she would need from Council.
• Option 1 – Proceed as presented
• Option 2 – Do not proceed with the amendment
• Option 3 – Proceed with an alternative amendment
Nelson said the amendment is asking to remove the section from the map. She explained that this would still
have public hearings and be brought back to Council at each level.
Fought asked if this is in line with the proposals floating through the economic development community. City
Manager Morgan said this is very much in line with considerations.
D. Presentation and discussion regarding the proposed FY2016 budget amendment and Strength of Force for
the Fire Department -- Leigh Wallace, Finance Director and John Sullivan, Fire Chief
Leigh Wallace, the Finance Director, spoke on the proposed budget amendment for the Fire Department.
She explained that the requested amendment to the general fund for the Fire Department would be on the
legislative agenda at the regular meeting later that evening.
Wallace showed the FY2016 Fire Department’s approved budget ($11.3M), July projection ($11.6M), and
preliminary year-end projection ($11.8M). She explained that this is primarily due to overtime to backfill
vacant seats. Secondarily it is a result of firefighter equipment and supplies, explained Wallace.
Wallace described the budget amendment. She noted that there would be no change in the fund balance
and no impact to the Council Discretionary Fund. She noted that there is even the possibility of more in the
fund balance due to savings in the general fund from other departments. Wallace explained that there was a
$500,000.00 overage in the fire budget from the summer projection, mostly from unforeseen overtime paid.
Page 15 of 116
Councilmember Gonzalez asked if the shortage figure had considered the vacant position salaries. Wallace
confirmed.
Fire Chief, John Sullivan, spoke on the transition into monitoring the situation and preparing for FY2017. He
noted that costs are dynamic and ever changing and spoke on two overtime review focus areas.
• Turnover, open positions and hiring timeline
• Vacation, sick, training and special projects
Chief Sullivan spoke on the overtime environment and the options for controlling the costs in 2017. Sullivan
explained that the transition and monitoring for FY2017 recommends the hiring of 3 new firefighters to cover
one float per shift and explained a float position per shift is synonymous with overtime.
Sullivan discussed the challenges in the Fire Department next:
• Increased call activity = staffing
• Delays in onboarding new positions
• FMLA and injury leaves
• Vacancy catch-up
• Attrition rate higher than historical reference
Sullivan described an increased demand for service and provided a chart depicting the increases.
Page 16 of 116
Sullivan explained that the EMS was geared up for the demand and response times have gone down. He
provided vacancy examples:
• OT Control Equations 0.5 x Seat Position – 28 Seats x 0.5 = 14 OT Control Positions and there are
4.7 OT Control Positions per day
• Vacation Leave = 4 slots per day
• Sick Leave = 1 slot per day
• FMLA
• Injuries
• Training
Sullivan spoke on the minimum staff required for emergencies and the extra staff needed for vacancies,
FMLA, sickness, etc. He provided images of 96 authorized operation positions for FY16 and the tenure
within the Fire Department. After this, images were shown of the impact to FY 2017 and the effect of 102
authorized operation positions in FY17. Sullivan explained the vacancy issues and said there were still
vacancies in the 4 float positions, with 5 vacancies currently in play.
Page 17 of 116
Page 18 of 116
There were some technical difficulties with the presentation at this time in the meeting. Mayor Ross asked
that the next presentation begin and then the meeting would come back to this presentation after the
technical difficulties were resolved. This presentation resumed at 4:35 PM.
Sullivan noted that the yellow ambulance images depict an ambulance that was not able to be staffed.
(Shown in the 96 Operating Positions Chart for FY16). He said that there are not enough positions filled to
control the overtime.
Sullivan spoke on the tenure in the Georgetown Fire Department. He explained that 40% of the staff has less
than 3 years of experience and there is a need to entice or recruit from other departments.
Chief Sullivan provided a chart on the hiring process and explained the differences in hiring from a transitional
academy and from a green academy. He noted how the best scenario still takes 6 months.
Sullivan spoke on the Hiring Challenges with the Georgetown Fire Department:
• High Standards (> 3 years experience in 911, right attitude, etc.)
• Professional Standards
• Year-round recruitment efforts
• Recent Academies (Feb ’15, Dec ’15, Sept, ’16, Dec ’16)
Page 19 of 116
• Strong Economy = other job opportunities
• Statewide shortage of paramedics = competition
• Length of on boarding is 3 months vs 6 months
Sullivan next provided FY 2017 Options:
Mayor Ross asked the Councilmembers if anyone disagreed with Chief Sullivan’s suggestions for
improvement.
Gonzalez asked if he could spend a day with a firefighter. Sullivan confirmed that he would be happy to
make that happen.
City Manager, David Morgan, said that if the Council was good with the suggestions presented, then staff
would bring an agenda item for a strength of force ordinance for 3 more fire positions to the next meeting.
He said that no monies would change since the overtime would go away. Morgan said this would be helpful.
E. Presentation and discussion regarding the Retail Strategy and Recruitment Plan -- Andreina Dávila-Quintero,
Project Coordinator, Michaela Dollar, Economic Development Director, and Jason Claunch of Catalyst
Commercial
Andreina Davila-Quintero, a Project Coordinator for the City, began the presentation and discussion on the
City’s retail strategy and recruitment plan. She explained that the presentation would include the background,
project outcomes, process, findings and recommendations and the implementation and next steps.
She spoke on the background of the project and explained that it started with the City Council goal to expand
and diversify the commercial tax base. She explained the initiative to create a comprehensive strategy to
attract quality retail to the community. Davila-Quintero said that this would include generating a snapshot of
existing retail conditions and trends, identifying trade areas, calculating retail sales demand and leakage and
identifying top retail sites and centers.
Davila-Quintero noted that the retail strategy and recruitment plan would identify targeted retail aimed to
sustain and improve retail in Georgetown, in three focus areas:
• Attract quality infill development
• Recruit anchors for active projects
• Identify new growth along emerging nodes
Jason Claunch, the consultant from Catalyst Commercial, spoke next on the Comprehensive Assessment.
He explained that much time will be spent studying each area.
Page 20 of 116
Claunch discussed the process:
1. Market Assessment
2. Trade Area Analysis
3. Market Analysis
4. Competitive Assessment
5. Property Analysis
6. Potential Tenant Identification
7. Merchandising Plan
Claunch explained how the Retail Market Assessment is a quick snapshot tool meant to be a marketing
piece. He provided the Council with the brochure that had been created for this purpose.
Claunch showed a map of the Primary Trade Area. He said the area is about 9 miles from I35 and 29,
serving a population of 134,000.
Page 21 of 116
Claunch described the meaning and significance of the Primary Trade Area. He noted that this will change
across time as the area becomes more competitive and shopping trends change.
• Creates a statistical foundation for decision making
• Enhances prospective retailers to understand customer shed
• Creates ability for existing retailers to understand customer base
• Establishes a baseline to measure changes and factors that impact the PTA
Claunch described the importance of the market analysis and the stakeholder interview portion.
• Commercial balance critical to the fiscal health of Georgetown
• Moment in time to activate key assets in Georgetown
• Bring commercial to the people
• Need to understand current capacity for retail
• Strong potential to activate the “Eastside” and Ronald Reagan corridor and Williams Drive
• Anchor buy-in is soft – need to strengthen value proposition
Claunch spoke next on the demographic highlights.
Page 22 of 116
Claunch provided a detailed chart on Retail Leakage. He explained that demands can be oversupplied or
undersupplied and it is important to pay attention to opportunities.
Page 23 of 116
Claunch spoke on Competitive Assessment and provided a map of existing users in the region. He explained
that physical inventories in Austin were taken for the merchandizing study.
Page 24 of 116
Property Analysis was discussed by Claunch. He explained that property analysis is divided into three
categories: Active, Emerging and In-Fill.
Page 25 of 116
Claunch spoke on the Longhorn Junction, Wolf Lakes, and Rivery projects and provided maps and
demographics of each. He said he admired the Rivery Project’s future plans as a walkable district, a great
asset to community.
Page 26 of 116
Claunch spoke on the capacities at Lakeway and I35, Ronald Reagan at Williams Drive area, University
Avenue at SH130 and the Triangle at I35 and SH195 and provided maps of each.
Page 27 of 116
Page 28 of 116
He said that the Ronald Reagan at Williams Drive area has demand coming from Sun City and would be
significant to the residential properties there. Claunch said they will continue to monitor this. He explained
opportunities at HWY 29 and I130 and spoke on mixed use possibilities in the triangle. He explained that
Wolf Ranch is almost 100% occupied. Claunch noted the in-fill opportunities in the Williams Drive Corridor
and the Downtown Overlay District
Claunch described Tenant Analysis:
• Identified over 40 potential operators that align with Georgetown’s characteristics
• Categories include but are not limited to: Specialty food stores, Specialty retail stores, Sporting
goods, Book stores, Department stores and Full-service restaurants
Michaela Dollar, the City’s Economic Development Director, spoke on implementation and next steps of the
plan.
Implementation – Scope of Work:
• Align merchandising targets to key properties
• Create targeted marketing for each prospect to support locational factors and operational needs
• Continuous recruitment

Councilmember Fought said he had seen this presentation at GEDCO and had taken the tour of Sun City. He
suggested that If Council intends to add to the commercial tax base, providing relief to the residents, they will
need to put more emphasis on commercial recruitment. He said this will need to be incorporated into the
proposed land use and the City will need to stick to it. Fought said that commercial development must be
consciously discussed in order to keep commercial development and zoning alive and well. He noted that the
triangle is lucrative for growth.
Councilmember Gonzalez said future success must be tracked in order to determine if the study was
valuable. He said he concurs that the City must stick to the best use of land and needs to be more selective.
He explained that the City could run out of good spaces and would not be able to get them back. Gonzalez
said he would like to focus on the southeast portion of Georgetown and looks forward to seeing the
successes.
Mayor Ross complimented the graphics in the brochure and asked about the next steps. Dollar said that she
and the consultant have worked well together in the past. She said they would be directly contacting
developers and targeting retailers, which has already begun. The ball is rolling said Dollar. City Manager,
David Morgan, spoke on the piece that will be sent to targeted retailers. He said that demographics will be
shown and primary trade areas explained during the recruitment. He said this will be tracked with an
evolving list. Mayor Ross asked how success would be measured. Morgan said they would provide Council
with a quarterly review of progress.

Approved: 5-0 (Brainard and Gipson absent)
Z. Forwarded from General Government and Finance Advisory Board (GGAF):
Consideration and possible action to approve a contract in the amount not to exceed $106,690.00 with Plante
& Moran for consulting services to provide assistance in the selection of a software solution(s) for
financial management, procurement, human resources and payroll -- Leigh Wallace, Finance Director
Leigh Wallace, the Finance Director, described the request for approval of the contract with Plante & Moran
for consulting services in the selection of a software solution for financial management, procurement, human
resources and payroll. Wallace summarized the need for these services. She explained that the current
system is a general ledger system for debits and credits, and the City is in need of a system with full
functionality at this time. Wallace explained the need for consulting services to help develop a strategy for
Page 33 of 116
the selection of the correct system, or possibly the integration of different systems. She explained the need
to mold procedures through modern work systems and the need to develop the technical portion of
procuring the correct system. Wallace said that 3 vendors had been invited to present and the selection
group chose Plante & Moran unanimously. Wallace described them as a large company, well known in this
field with over 30 years of experience in local government consulting. She explained that the vendor has a
wealth of experience with this type of project in other cities with the same services and size. She explained
that the company is thought to be the leader in human resource best practices in municipalities. Wallace
noted that the system involves payroll and therefore all employees will need to learn the new system. She
said the project was funded in FY2017 budget and explained that the procurement process would take
approximately 9 to 12 months of work with the consultant. Wallace said this would line up well to put the
system in the 2018 budget process, as the cost and details would be known at that time. This would bring
about the proposed implementation of the system in 2019.
Councilmember Jonrowe asked if staff would be coming back to the Council with the implementation phase.
Wallace said this company can be used for implementation purposes also, or there are several third party
vendors for this phase. Wallace confirmed that this would be brought back for Council approval. Jonrowe
asked what office of this company was the closest. A spokesman for Plante & Moran said the closest office
would be Chicago, but consultants are placed throughout the country. He noted that the consultant would
be from St. Louis, but most meetings are actually face to face, with the exception of some teleconferencing.
Motion by Jonrowe, second by Gonzalez to approve Item Z.
Approved: 6-0 (Gipson absent)
AA. Forwarded from the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB):
Consideration and possible action to approve amendment #2 of Task Order A&F-16-003 with Aguirre &
Fields, LP, of Austin, Texas, for professional services to provide engineering and support services
required to develop preliminary design alternatives, conduct public involvement, initiate
environmental services and the prepare 30% plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) package for
a long term management plan for the Austin Avenue bridges and roadway improvements from Morrow
Street to 3rd Street in the amount of $278,463.15 -- Nat Waggoner, AICP, PMP, Transportation Analyst
Nat Waggoner, the City’s Transportation Analyst, spoke on the amendment of the Task Order for
professional engineering and support services and the preparation of a long term management plan for the
Austin Avenue Bridges and roadway improvements. He explained that the item had been shown to the City
Council at a workshop meeting earlier in the month.
Motion by Eby, second by Gonzalez to approve Item AA.
Councilmember Brainard asked about the outcome of the final product. Waggoner explained that the
outcome would be a 30% design that meets the environmental clearance and then can be moved forward to
the 100% design and be ready for the pursuit of additional funding. Waggoner said all options will be
brought to the Council and to the public, through public hearings and neighborhood meetings. Brainard
asked if the 30% design plan is a standard. Waggoner confirmed that it is a standard to determine design
readiness.
Approved: 6-0 (Gipson absent)
AB. Forwarded from the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation (GTEC):
Consideration and possible action on Task Order KPA-17-001 with Kasberg, Patrick, & Associates, LP of
Georgetown, Texas in the amount of $579,710.00 for Professional Services related to Airport Road
Improvements -- Wesley Wright, P.E., Systems Engineering Director
Wesley Wright, the Systems Engineering Director, spoke about the professional services related to the
Airport Road improvements. He explained that the design would change the portion of Airport Road from
Lakeway from 2 lanes into 5 lanes, as a minor arterial. Wright spoke on planned industrial development in
the area. He noted that the proposal was approved by the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement
Corporation (GTEC). Wright mentioned that the question had been raised of why the City would not include
all of Airport Road. Wright explained that there would be no time or money to do all of Airport Road, as this
would triple the budget. He explained that the project was not included in the road bond list from the road
bond committee last year. Wright said that the project does not include right of way but he is confident that
this can be handled in house.
Motion by Brainard, second by Eby to approve Item AB.
Approved: 6-0 (Gipson absent)
Page 34 of 116
AC. Forwarded from Georgetown Utility Systems Advisory Board (GUS):

that the ordinance was for an overage due to overtime in the Fire Department. Wallace noted that this had
been discussed at the workshop meeting earlier in the day. Wallace said there would be no change to the
general fund.
Motion by Jonrowe, second by Brainard to approve Item AE.
Approved: 6-0 (Gipson absent)

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to reject al l bi ds for furnishings, installation, labor and materials required fo r the
construction of G ar ey Park due to excessi ve bi d respo nses -- Kimberly Garrett, P arks and Recreation Director
ITEM SUMMARY:
Bids were opened on October 12, 2016, fo r the construction o f Garey P ark. Items in the bid include d park entry feature s,
equine facilities, playground/splash pad, do g park, corporate and gro up c abins, primitive camping, restroom/sho wer
facilities, special event cente r, amphitheater, hiking/equine trails, roadways, parking, utilities and other miscellaneo us
items at Garey P ark.
The project budget is $13.5M for co nstruction of the abo ve mentioned improve ments. Three bids we re received with all
three in excess $22M. Staff, the Garey family and Halff Associates reviewed the bids on Octobe r 1 9, 2016, to develop a
plan moving forward. Discussion included the need to delay several amenities to bring the project within budget. In
addition, by delaying some of the amenities there will be an impact to operating costs and reve nue projectio ns. There was
consensus from the design team as to the items to be delayed from the project scope at this time. These items include all
camping and cabin co mponents, amphitheater and associated co mpo nents, c aretaker house, and the equine roo f struc ture.
The removal of these items will also reduce the sco pe of the site work further reducing the o verall project cost.
Next steps include furthe r re fining the sc ope and to repackage the bid into three separate projects. The three pro jects
include:
1) A coope rative co ntract through TCPN for construc tion of the park’s active components. This will e nsure a
contractor who is familiar with this type o f c onstruction will be completing the work.
2) The Garey Ho use remodel work will be co mpetitively bid to ensure direct bids fro m co ntractors familiar with
this type of co nstructions.
3) T he reduced civil and site work will be competitively bid.
Advantages to delivering a project by these me tho ds include increased contrac to r pool due to bonding capacity, reduced
general contractor mark-up o n specialty constructio n, and assurance of contractor expertise within their given field of
construction.
The plan mo ving forward is to rebid the project in three different packages through De c ember and January.
Recommendations for contractor appro vals will be presented to the Parks Bo ard on February 9, 2017 and will be
forwarded to City Council fo r appro val on February 21, 2017. With the reduced scope, the pro ject is estimated to take
less time for constructio n with Garey Park still planned to be o pening in early 201 8.

Property History
The majority of the 83.5‐acre property was annexed in 2006 by Ordinance 2006‐134. The smaller
southern and eastern pieces totaling 14.459 acres will be annexed after second reading scheduled
for November 22, 2016. The default AG District is the default zoning district assigned at time of
annexation. The property is currently developed with two residences.
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, the area within the present city limits, or
subject to a development agreement, surrounding Tier 1A that is generally underserved by
infrastructure and where such service and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth
needs of the city once Tier 1A approaches build‐out.
Transportation
The development will extend existing Fairway Lane into the subject property. A phase of the
development will provide one new connection to SH 195. One connection to Shell Road is
planned with future development of the property. A TIA has been submitted by the applicant for
review, and will be completed prior to approval of the associated preliminary plat.
Utilities
Water/wastewater is served by the City of Georgetown. Electric service is provided by PEC. The
Development Engineer has determined there is adequate capacity for development, with a
master‐planned water line in the area.
Proposed Zoning District
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. 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 meet the lot, dimensional and design standards of the District. (See
attached).
Page 48 of 116
Planning Department Staff Report
Hidden Oaks at Berry Creek rezoning
AG to RS and C‐1 Page 3 of 6
The C‐1 District is intended to provide areas for commercial and retail activities that primarily
serve residential areas. Uses should have pedestrian access to adjacent and nearby residential
areas, but are not appropriate along residential streets or residential collectors. The District is
most appropriate along major and minor thoroughfares. Typical uses within this district are
general retail, restaurants (including drive‐through), gas stations, medical or dental offices, etc.
Attachment 4 contains a comprehensive list of C‐1 District allowable uses and development
standards. Certain land uses have specific design limitations to ensure compatibility with the
surrounding properties; for example, in the C‐1 District, the floor to area ratio of a building
cannot exceed 0.5 for certain land uses specified in Attachment 5.
Staff Analysis
The subject property is located within the Future Land Use category of Mixed Use Community that
encourages a mixture of residential and commercial uses within close proximity to each other.
The first land use goal of the 2030 Plan encourages a balanced mix of residential, commercial,
and employment uses to reflect a gradual transition of development throughout the city.
Although mixed use can be integrated vertically, it can also be accomplished horizontally with
adjacent mixes of uses that complement one another. Commercial development in the mixed use
category should complement a mix of residential types by providing supporting retail and small
to medium scale office development.
The land uses permitted in the C‐1 District proposed along SH 195 with the district development
standards directly help to implement the 2030 Plan’s goals of a balance of land uses as well as
ensuring smooth transitions with space and landscaping buffers between residential and
commercial uses. As development continues to extend to the northwest portion of the city, the
Page 49 of 116
Planning Department Staff Report
Hidden Oaks at Berry Creek rezoning
AG to RS and C‐1 Page 4 of 6
need for goods and services closer to residents (both current and future) is necessary in order to
achieve a balanced community as well as incrementally address traffic related concerns.
Goal 1 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“promote sound, sustainable, and compact development patterns with balanced land uses, a
variety of housing choices and well‐integrated transportation, public facilities, and open space
amenities.” The rezoning of this property to the RS District for the future residential
development supports this goal. C‐1 zoning at this location will reserve land suitable for
commercial development along a major arterial.
The proposed rezoning request meets all of the criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for
zoning changes:
Approval Criteria for Rezoning
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 request is
consistent with the goal to direct commercial development
primarily to “nodes” or “corridors” where the pattern is
established or appropriate. The Mixed Use Community
category supports the C‐1 District at this location since the
district’s allowed uses include neighborhood serving
businesses that would accommodate the existing and future
residential neighborhoods that are part of this request.
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 C‐1 District will help
facilitate orderly commercial development along a major
arterial roadway. The large open spaces of the residentially‐
zoned portion protects environmentally sensitive areas, and
provides undeveloped, natural areas.
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 uses. Landscape buffers will be
required, per the UDC, where the property abuts residential
zoning.
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‐1 District are suitable along major
arterials (SH 195) and within the areas of the Future Land
Use designated as Mixed Use Community.

General Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. Fairway Lane is an existing collector, built to early code standards. The applicant will
extend Fairway Lane as a collector and provide connectivity to State Highway 195, and a
future connection to Shell Road. These connections will provide alternative routes to the
residents in the neighborhood, as well as easy access to the proposed C‐1 district along
State Highway 195, an existing highway, and the transportation network at this location can
support the traffic that may be generated by the uses anticipated in the C‐1 District.
2. The Future Land Use category of Mixed Use Community supports the mix of single‐family
residential types proposed by the applicant, and also the C‐1 District along the existing
highway, since this category is intended for a mixture of land uses where commercial uses
will complement existing and future residential development anticipated in the
surrounding area.
3. Goal 1 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“promote sound, sustainable, and compact development patterns with balanced land uses, a variety
of housing choices and well‐integrated transportation, public facilities, and open space amenities.”
The rezoning of this property to the RS District for the future residential development
supports this goal. C‐1 zoning at this location will reserve land suitable for commercial
development along a major arterial.
4. There are master‐plan construction projects that will ensure sufficient capacity within the
City Utility Systems to accommodate the residential and commercial development resulting
from the proposed rezoning from the AG to RS and C‐1 District at this location.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s zoning 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
(21 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (October 16, 2016) and signs were posted on‐site. To date, staff has received 2 written
letters in support of this request.

Property History
The subject property was annexed in November of 2006 and assigned Agriculture zoning, the
default zoning district for annexations. In 2014 the subject property was rezoned from the
interim zoning district of Agriculture to the current C-3 zoning.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Plan provides for a Regional Commercial node at the intersection of the SH 130
Tollroad and IH 35 and a Community Commercial node at the intersection of the Northeast
Innerloop and IH 35, all surrounded by the Employment Center land use category. Individually,
this tract is primarily shown as Employment Center, with the northeastern portion extending
into the Regional Commercial node.
The Employment Center land use designation is intended for tracts of undeveloped land
located at strategic locations, which are designated for well planned, larger scale employment
and business activities, as well as supporting uses such as retail, services, hotels, and high
density residential development (stand-alone or in mixed-use buildings) as a conditional use.
Many Employment Center designations will include undeveloped properties identified by
the City as opportunity sites for centers of commerce or employment. These sites may be
acquired and developed through public-private partnerships. Primary uses include offices,
flex offices, and technology research and development, as well as environmentally friendly
manufacturing. These uses should be encouraged to develop in a campus-like setting with
generous, linked open space to maximize value, promote visual quality, and encourage
pedestrian activity between employment areas and areas of supporting uses such as retail,
restaurants, and residential.

Planning Department Staff Report
Project Cat zoning Page 3 of 5
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B, which is the portion of the City or extra-
territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) where growth and the provision of public facilities are anticipated
within 10 years following the adoption of the 2030 Plan.
Transportation
This parcel has direct frontage on both Airport Road, an existing Minor Arterial on the city’s
Thoroughfare Plan, and to IH 35. GTEC is considering a design task order in October to widen
Airport Road from 2 to 5 lanes (inclusive of a center turn lane) and a slight realignment at the
intersection of Lakeway Blvd to promote better traffic flow (inclusive of a traffic signal). Design
should be complete in the spring of 2017. The project will require ROW acquisition which is
difficult to time. However, construction could start as early as FY 2017.Additionally, an OTP
map amendment is being processed to remove a portion of a collector level roadway that bisects
this property. The amendment is scheduled for review by the Planning Commission in December
Utilities
The City of Georgetown will provide water, wastewater and electric services at this location.

Proposed Zoning District
The Industrial District (IN) is intended to provide a location for manufacturing and industrial
activities that may generate some nuisances. Traffic generation will likely include heavy
vehicles, making access to an arterial or freeway necessary. Unless separated by a major
roadway, the Industrial District is not appropriate adjacent to any residential uses.
Staff Analysis
The subject property is located along the northern portion of the City’s I-35 corridor, a portion
which is largely undeveloped and planned as an employment center district. The rezoning of the
project is in keeping with the location goals for Industrial zoning by having direct access to I-35
and Airport Road, an arterial level roadway. Additionally, given the property’s location near the
Georgetown Municipal Airport, the future transportation improvements, and the designation of
this area as an employment center, the rezoning of this property is working in concert with the
2030 vision and the pending public improvements to develop this area in a manner that supports
and creates employment opportunities that may be most suitable with direct freeway frontage.
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
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
and the Plan’s Goal of preserving and emphasizing
land ideally suited for employment uses.
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 from General Commercial to
Industrial allows for an employment center district
to be developed as originally envisioned. It allows
for industrial type uses and development to occur
in an area that has direct access to I-35 and, with its
adjacency to undeveloped property, overtime has
the ability to bring the vision of an employment
center to fruition.
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 south and west 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 IN District are appropriate
at this location given the vision for this area in the
adopted 2030 Plan.

Planning Department Staff Report
Project Cat zoning Page 5 of 5
Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The Future Land Use category of Employment Center supports the IN District at this
location since this category is intended for large tracts of undeveloped open land where
supporting uses such as retail, services, hotels, and high density residential development
are conditionally supported. The Commercial property to the south and the community
commercial node to the north will allow for the commercial uses that may support the
employment center node.
2. The city is developed with stable neighborhoods and commercial areas; however,
industrially zoned property and development of key employments center districts are
essential to providing a variety of employment opportunities and land uses within the
Georgetown Community.
3. The uses allowed in the IN District are appropriate at this location given the property’s
location within a gateway overlay district will require stricter site and building
requirements.
4. The location of the subject property along I-35 and Airport Road (with improvements to the
Airport Road and Lakeway Intersection) allows for the development of this tract in a
manner that supports the employmenet center vision with site and architectural standards
that protect from adverse impacts potentially associated with industrial uses.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request based on the above-mentioned findings.
Public Comments
Staff has received no public comments regarding this case.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The propo sed budget amendme nt recognizes additional sales tax revenue in the amount of $5 25 ,63 7 that will be
