Council Meeting Date: October 9, 2007 Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Georgetown approving the design of the College Street Bridge and
recommending the Texas Department of Transportation proceed with the final design and construction as presented; and
establishing an effective date.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The low water bridge in San Gabriel Park is on the TxDOT's "Category 6" Off System Bridge Replacement
Program. TxDOT has worked with the City of Georgetown to come up with a suitable bridge design to replace the low
water bridge in San Gabriel Park. The original bridge replacement was estimated at approximately $1.2 million with 10%
participation from Georgetown. The match for this project has been met.
City Staff has worked to facilitate the bridge design process between TxDOT and the Parks Board. The City asked
TxDOT for the bridge to be constructed above the 100 -year floodplain for safety purposes. The Parks Board requested
special architectural and design features that would match the surrounding structures and be beneficial to San Gabriel
Park. The local TxDOT office requested and acquired additional funds from the Transportation Commission to construct a
larger structure with the upgraded features. The cost of the new proposed bridge structure will be in excess of $5 million.
The majority of the cost increase was the cost to raise the structure out of the 100 -year flood plain. The City will not be
responsible for any additional funding.
TxDOT has asked for a council resolution be passed in support of the project as proposed so they may proceed
with final design and construction.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The Parks Board approved by 5-0 (Simpson abstain, Owens absent) vote at their regular Board meeting held on
,ept 13, 2007, for TxDOT to proceed with the Bridge Proposal as presented with a recommendation that the City Budget
funds in a future budget to enhance the area with landscaping.
The Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board approved by (5-1) vote at their special meeting on October 1,
2007 to proceed with the bridge as proposed.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No additional funding is requested at this time.
The Parks Board has recommended consideration be given to funding for possible
landscaping additions in future budgets.

City Council Meeting: October 9, 2007 Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
Subject: Consideration and possible action regarding suggested Unified Development
Code (UDC) amendments for possible inclusion in the 2006-2007 UDC amendment process.
Background:
At their regular meeting of August 24, 2004 the City Council unanimously (7-0) approved an
annual review and amendment process for the Unified Development Code (UDC). This process
was amended by resolution in 2007 to include the consideration of task force formation to study
specified amendments.
The adopted process involves the following steps:
Identification of Proposed Amendments
During October of each year staff presents a list of proposed UDC amendments to the Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Council for the amendment cycle. Suggested amendments are
requested from the Commission and Council as part of this process and a final list is
recommended / approved by the Commission and Council.
Determination of Task Force
Within 2 weeks following Council’s approval of the amendment list, staff will sponsor a public
workshop to determine if any of the amendments necessitate the formation of a task force. This
information will be presented to Council at the next available meeting and direction provided.
Review Process
Staff will research, review and draft the proposed amendments. During this review period at
least two public workshops will be held. Task forces will be convened during this period if
previously warranted.
Public Hearing and Adoption
Following completion of the review process the public hearing process before the Planning and
Zoning Commission and City Council will commence. This process will start no later than
March of the calendar year.
Summary:
The list of proposed UDC amendments is attached. The number of amendments is significantly
reduced from prior years, and is largely minor corrections / clarifications. At their regular meeting
of May 27, 2007 the Council directed staff to create a task force to look at the operational standards
for Bed and Breakfast establishments in residentially zoned districts. This amendment is included
in the current round of amendments.

ORDINANCE NO. ____________
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Georgetown, Texas, renaming a
portion of CR 102 to Lawhon Lane; renaming a second portion of CR 102 to White
Eagle Pass; repealing conflicting ordinances and resolutions; including a severability
clause; and establishing an effective date.
Whereas, on January 24, 2006, the City adopted an ordinance establishing a uniform
addressing and street naming policy for the City; and
Whereas, due to annexation of areas that include portions of CR 102 Right of Way, the
continued use of the name “CR 102” on the newly annexed portion is inconsistent with the City’s
street naming policy;
Whereas, due to the construction of SH 130, the former ROW of CR 102 was split into two
separate sections of roadway, thereby requiring a separate name for each segment;
Whereas, the City Council of the City of Georgetown finds that it is in the public’s best
interest to resolve these inconsistencies by assigning names to the subject streets in a manner
consistent with the City’s street naming policy.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
Section 1. The facts and recitations contained in the preamble of this ordinance are hereby
found and declared to be true and correct, and are incorporated by reference herein and expressly
made a part hereof, as if copied verbatim. The City Council hereby finds that this ordinance
implements the Transportation Element of the Century Plan - Policy Plan Element, which states:
"Georgetown’s transportation system provides for the safe and efficient movement of traffic,
promotes the economic interests of the community, and adequately serves the needs of individuals";
and further finds that the enactment of this ordinance is not inconsistent or in conflict with any
other Century Plan Policies, as required by Section 2.03 of the Administrative Chapter of the Policy
Plan.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Georgetown hereby:
a. Rename the portion of CR 102 from Eagle Trace Dr to Indian Creek Dr. Beginning at the 100
Block and continuing through the 300 Block. As illustrated in exhibit A. The new name will

City Council Meeting: October 9, 2007 Item No._ _
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance to Rezone from AG, Agriculture district to C-1, Local
Commercial District (21.41 acres), MF, Multifamily District (42.0 acres) and RS, Residential Single-Family
District (20.0 acres) for two tracts totaling approximately 84.0 acres in the William Addison Survey, also
known as the Gaddy Parcel, located at the southwest corner of CR 110 and SE Inner Loop. (REZ-2007-019)
ITEM SUMMARY:
Owner: Betz Company
Location: southwest corner of CR 110 and SE Inner Loop
Utilities: City of Georgetown water, wastewater and electric
Century Plan: Intensity Level 2, 3 & 5
Zoning: AG, Agricultural
Land Use: Office/Retail/Commercial, Mixed Use, Residential
Status/History:
The site is composed of two tracts totaling approximately 84.0 acres and is located at the southwest corner of
CR 110 and SE Inner Loop (see Exhibit A). The existing zoning of the property is AG, Agriculture and
currently, the property is undeveloped and under agricultural use. The property is designated as
Office/Retail/Commercial, Mixed Use, and Residential on the Future Land Use map and is assigned an
Intensity Levels of 2, 3 and 5 on the Century Plan.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from “AG, Agriculture” district to 21.41 acres of “C-1, Local
Commercial” district, 42.0 acres of “MF, Multifamily” district and 20.0 acres of “RS, Residential Single-
Family” district. Per the submitted letter of request (see Exhibit D), the applicant is seeking the rezoning in
order to develop commercial uses along the Inner Loop transitioning to apartments and then less dense
residential development at the southeast corner of the property along CR 110.
Analysis:
Southwestern Boulevard will extend along the west side of the property, tying into the proposed Southwest
Bypass south of this site. A future rail station and TOD (Transit Oriented Development) is proposed to the
west at Maple Street and the proposed Southwest Bypass. It remains undetermined whether the existing CR
110 connection with the SE Inner Loop will remain. However, due to drainage issues located at the
northeastern portion of the property, the main/commercial “node” will most likely function at the
northwestern portion of the tract. Additionally, driveway cuts will be limited along the SE Inner Loop and
the primary access to this tract will need to be located off of the Southwestern Boulevard extension.
This property is located at what is considered a “retail node” by the Future Land Use Plan. These locations
are considered “core retail areas” and are intended to “support limited or light retail activity that would
primarily serve nearby residential areas”. The surrounding mixed use ring in these instances is intended to
“accommodate abutting residential areas to provide a transition to non-residential uses”.
Item # P
Gaddy Parcel
AG to C-1, MF & RS Zoning
Page 2 of 3
The C-1, Local Commercial district is intended “to provide areas for commercial and retail activities that
primarily serve residential areas ... and should have pedestrian access to adjacent residential areas” and, as
such, addresses the expectations of the “retail node”.
Further, pursuant to the process set forth in Section 3.09 ("Site Plan Review") of the Unified Development
Code, the site plan submitted for the development shall include criteria that allows for, and encourages, a
seamless transition from the commercial to residential use. This transition can be accomplished through site
design, architectural design or a mix of land uses. Said criteria shall be subject to the review and approval of
the Director of Planning and Development Services.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
COMMENTS: At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 4th, Jim Everett, who resides
at 1989 County Road 110, spoke in opposition to the request. Following the meeting, email correspondence
was received from Mr. Everett regarding the visibility of the sign notification at the rezoning site. He felt
adequate notification had not been made and the case needed to be sent back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for an additional public hearing.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MOTION: The Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a
public hearing on September 4th and voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval of the request.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council conducted a public hearing and first reading of the ordinance
on September 25, 2007, and voted unanimously (7-0) to approve the first ordinance reading.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Conduct the Second Reading of the Ordinance to Rezone approximately
84.0 acres in the William Addison Survey, also known as the Gaddy Parcel, located at the southwest corner of
CR 110 and SE Inner Loop, from AG, Agriculture district to C-1, Local Commercial district (21.41 acres), MF,
Multifamily district (42.0 acres) and RS, Residential Single-Family district (20.0 acres).

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance for 1) a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the
Intensity Map from levels 2, 3 and 5 to levels 3 and 5; change the Future Land Use from Residential to
Multi-Family, Residential, and Office/Retail/Commercial; and to change the Overall Transportation Plan
to re-align a collector-level road and 2) a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture to MF, Multi-Family, C-3,
Commercial and RS, Residential on 159.177 acres in the John Berry Survey (Abstract 051), located at FM
971 and SH 130.
ITEM SUMMARY:
Owner: Hart Interests, L.P.
Applicant: Jana Rice, Cunningham-Allen, Inc.
Location: 2000 FM 971 (971 and SH 130)
Utilities: Jonah water, Georgetown waste water and electric.
Intensity: Intensity Levels 2, 3 and 5
Zoning: Agriculture (AG)
F. Land Use: Residential
Background:
This property is located to the east of SH 130 and abuts the toll way along most of the property line,
although it has no direct access to 130. The entire accessible right-of-way (r.o.w). frontage the property has is
along FM971, on its northern boundary line. The southern tract of the property (approximately 131 acres)
was annexed in December 2006 due to its proximity to SH 130 and, including the existing annexed 28 acres,
the entire property is now within the city limits. The default zoning for the 131 acres is AG, Agriculture,
which the applicant is seeking to change now to MF, Multi-Family and RS, Single-Family Residential. The
rezoning application corresponds with the land use changes presented here for commercial, multi-family and
residential. (See Exhibit C) The northern 28 acres of this tract is separated from the rest by the Georgetown
Railroad rail r.o.w. and a large drainage easement has been granted to the state for SH 130 drainage that runs
along the north of that r.o.w. and then turns to the north towards 971 along the eastern boundary of the 28
acre tract. The property is currently being used as a farm and is one of the first projects to be processed
through the city along the SH 130 corridor.
Status:
This item has been delayed from Planning and Zoning Commission since April due to issues over the
railroad crossing for the proposed collector route. After talks with the landowner’s attorney and city staff,
the ordinance states that, due to the thoroughfare change, the collector-level road through the property will
have a railroad crossing, either at-grade or grade-separated, in the future that will meet all necessary safety
requirements.
The applicant is proposing the 28 acre tract to be a commercial use in the form of a grocery store or
something along those lines, with additional retail supporting it. This area of town has no commercial or
retail available to residents and the applicant hopes to take advantage of one of the few exit
ramps/intersections that SH 130 has in Georgetown for traffic and visibility. This particular tract is currently
split between Intensity 3 and 5 and is requested to be Level 5 for the whole tract. To the south of the
commercial and the railroad, there is a proposed 15 acres intended for 310 multi-family units and 116 acres of
435 single-family units. Both of these are requesting an overall Intensity Level of 3, up from a 2. (See
Exhibits A and B)
The property will contain parkland along the San Gabriel River, which will also be determined at the
preliminary plat. Item # Q
2
Unit Breakdown:
Retail: 210,000 sq. ft. Multi-Family: 310 units Single-Family: 435 units
In addition to the land use and intensity changes, the applicant is requesting that a future east-west
collector, originally intended to connect NE Inner Loop with CR 103, be altered. The reason for this is that
the road was cut off by the limited access toll road and, therefore, has no future to the west of 130. The
applicant has proposed bending the western part of this road up to FM 971, to create a collector-level
entrance to the project, while continuing its original path to the east. This collector will cross a Georgetown
Railroad line. (See Exhibit B)
Surrounding Intensity, Land Use and Zoning:
Location Intensity Future Land Use Plan Zoning
North 2 and 5 Residential MH
South 1 Residential N/A – out of City
East 2 Residential N/A – out of City
West 3 and 4 Residential and Commercial AG, C-3, MF
Basis of Support:
Staff recommends approval of 1) the Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Intensity Map, Future Land Use
Plan, and Overall Transportation Plan; and 2) the Zoning change. The reasons are outlined below.
1. The project is consistent with the Wastewater Master Plan, which currently shows capability to serve
the project as proposed, due to the Pecan Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant located just down FM
971. The intensity requests are not significantly greater than existing levels and are in synch with the
proposed living units. Water is being provided by Jonah, who has provided staff with a letter
promising fire flow, although city policy now requires an engineer certification of fire flow on the
ground at the time of platting.
2. The proposed land use changes bring a good mix of single-family and multi-family with easy access to
parkland along San Gabriel (which will be dedicated to future a hike-and-bike trail) and the proposed
local commercial/retail at FM 971. City staff sees more residential-mixed developments being built near
this section of 130 in the future as to take advantage of good accessibility. The proposed commercial
could bring necessary neighborhood commercial for this development, the surrounding residential
areas and the eastern corridor of 971, which is currently lacking commercial land use.
3. The thoroughfare amendment is being supported by staff to fix the problem created when SH 130 was
built, severing access to the east between 971 and 29. This collector is important to the Georgetown
transportation model and is needed to provide additional access and circulation to future eastern
developments. This road, when built, will stub to the eastern boundary of this property, in anticipation
of future development that will continue the road eastward.
4. The proposed amendment is consistent with the following Goals / Policies of the Future Land Use Plan:
Goal 1 :: Encourage the most desirable and efficient use of land while enhancing the physical
environment through functional and compatible land use configurations.
Objective 1.3: Ensure that new developments will be compatible with existing land uses in terms
of use, density, building heights, scale, and offsite effects.
Objective 1.5: Require zoning change requests to be consistent with the Future Land Use Plan.
5. The proposed Land Use Plan Amendment is consistent with the following Goals/Policies of the Housing
Element of the Future Land Use Plan:
GGOOAALL 66:: Provide for a variety of housing types throughout the City.
Objective 6.3: Promote the availability of a variety of housing types within the City that will
Item # Q
3
meet the needs of all segments of the Georgetown population including age, family status,
income and household size.
6. The proposed Thoroughfare Plan Amendment is consistent with the following Goals/Policies of the
Transportation Element of the Future Land Use Plan:
GGOOAALL 44:: Provide an efficient, safe and connective transportation system that is coordinated with
existing needs and with plans for future growth; this system should be economical and
responsive to environmental concerns.
Objective 4.1: Use the Thoroughfare Plan and the Future Land Use Plan in conjunction to one
another, specifically to ensure that the various land uses within the City are accommodated by
the transportation system.
3.06.030 Approval Criteria (Rezoning)
The City Council shall consider the following approval criteria for zoning changes:
A. The application is complete and the information contained within the application is
sufficient and correct enough to allow adequate review and final action;
B. The proposed zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan;
C. The proposed zoning change promotes the health, safety, or general welfare of the City and
the safe, orderly, and healthful development of the City;
D. The proposed zoning change is compatible with the zoning of surrounding properties and
with the character of the surrounding area which includes undeveloped properties, and
large lot residential; and
E. The property to be rezoned is suitable for uses permitted by the C-3, MF and RS that would
be applied by the proposed amendment.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None.
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance for Comprehensive Plan, including Exhibit A – Existing and Proposed
Intensity and Exhibit B – Existing and Proposed Land Use and Thoroughfare Plan; Ordinance for Rezoning,
including Exhibit C – Existing and Proposed Zoning and Exhibit D – Field Notes;
Note: The street layout shown north of the proposed project in Exhibit A was part of a plat that has recently
been vacated, so the streets do not exist and capacity is not being allocated to that neighborhood.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Conduct Second Reading of 1) an Ordinance a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to change the Intensity Map from levels 2, 3 and 5 to levels 3 and 5; change the Future Land Use
from Residential to Multi-Family, Residential, and Office/Retail/Commercial; and to change the Overall
Transportation Plan for a designated collector-level road and 2) an Ordinance for a Rezoning to change the
zoning from AG, Agriculture to MF, Multi-Family, C-3, Commercial and RS, Residential on 159.177 acres in
the John Berry Survey (Abstract 051).

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance to Rezone from RS, Residential Single-Family district to C-1,
Local Commercial district for approximately 0.24 acres being a portion of Lot 2, Block 1, of Highland Park
Revised, located at 504 FM 1460. (REZ-2007-018)
ITEM SUMMARY:
Owner: Shane Pope
Agent: Lynn Haag, Steger & Bizzell Engineering
Location: 504 FM 1460, east of Austin Ave.
Utilities: City of Georgetown water, wastewater and electric
Century Plan: Intensity Level 3
Zoning: RS, Residential Single-Family
Land Use: Mixed Use
Status/History:
The 0.24-acre site is located on the south side of FM 1460, just east of Austin Avenue (see Exhibit A). The
existing zoning of the property is RS, Residential Single-Family and is developed with a single-family
residential structure. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the Future Land Use map and is assigned
an Intensity Level of 3 on the Century Plan.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from RS, Residential Single-Family District to C-1, Local Commercial
District. The C-1 district is “intended to provide areas for commercial and retail activities that primarily
serve residential areas.” The district permits restaurant, office, retail and personal service oriented uses and
limits repair oriented retail sales and service uses to 10,000 square feet. Vehicle sales and service, including
fuel service, minor and major vehicle service and repair, as well as vehicle sales, rental or leasing are
prohibited within the C-1 district. That said, the applicant’s current business adjacent to this lot (Pro Auto
Glass) could not use this property for on-site repair work.
This property is the western half of Lot 2, Block 1, of the Highland Park Revised plat. The eastern half of the
original Lot 2 (2B) was rezoned to C-1 in July, 2001, and is currently developed with a real estate office.

GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. The facts and recitations contained in the preamble of this ordinance are
hereby found and declared to be true and correct, and are incorporated by reference herein and
expressly made a part hereof, as if copied verbatim. The City Council hereby finds that this
ordinance implements Finance Policy End 4.0 of the Century Plan - Policy Plan Element, which

Plan Policies, as required by Section 2.03 of the Administrative Chapter of the Policy Plan.
SECTION 2. Article VII "MISCELLANEOUS" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Georgetown, Texas is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 13.04.230. Deposits.
A. Residential. A $150.00 deposit is required on each dwelling unit unless otherwise

Page 2 of 2
B. Nonresidential. Unless otherwise specified by this section, or by the City Council,
nonresidential establishments are required to post a utility deposit equal to at least twice the
average monthly bill of that establishment or a similar establishment of its kind. The minimum
nonresidential deposit is $150.00. A bank letter of credit or a surety bond, for the deposit
amount, and containing terms specified by the Director of Finance and Administration may be
accepted in lieu of a cash deposit. The deposit may be waived with a letter of credit from
another utility company for the most recent 36-month period preceding the connect date that
shows no late payments or insufficient checks. The business represented in the letter of
credit must have the same owner and be of a similar size and usage as the business
requesting services.
C. Federal and State Political Subdivisions. Federal and State political subdivisions are not
required to post a utility deposit.
D. Satisfactory Payment History Deposit Refund.
The required utility deposit shall be refunded to a utility customer after one year of satisfactory
payment history for utility services. Satisfactory Payment History is defined as a payment
history that does not include any Non-Sufficient Fund (NSF) payments or any charge of a ten
percent penalty for nonpayment by the due date, as provided in Section 13.04.190(B).

established a satisfactory payment history with the City during the most recent one-
year period during which the customer was a customer of the City.
2. A current residential customer, who has a 12-month Satisfactory Payment History,
can apply for utility service at another residential location without posting a deposit.

History, can apply for utility service at another non-residential location without posting

business into a contiguous space having separate meters, as long as that business
has maintained a satisfactory payment history for the 12 months prior to the time of
expansion; the name on the account is the same; and the account cannot stand on its
own, if the original account closed.
E. A utility deposit is not required from a former customer who has previously established a

the customer was previously a customer of the City. A current residential customer who owns
his residence and has a good payment history can apply for utility service at another
residential location without posting a deposit. However, a deposit is not required of a current
commercial customer expanding an existing business into a contiguous space having
separate meters, so long as that business has maintained a good payment history for the 12
months prior to the time of expansion.

appropriate currently required deposit.

conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed, and are no longer of any force and effect.

circumstance, shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions, or
application thereof, of this ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are hereby declared to be severable.

Secretary to attest. This ordinance shall become effective and be in full force on all utility
accounts on and after November 1, 2007.

Memo
To: Jim Briggs, City of Georgetown
Commissioner Valerie Covey, Precinct 3
From: Michael J. Weaver
Date: September 5, 2007
Re: Williams Drive Financing Proposal
As we discussed, I believe an application by the City of Georgetown for CAMPO STP-MM
funding for the Williams Drive project has both financial and political merit. The application,
which is due by October 31st, would be supported by Williamson County both by resolution
and financially.
Williamson County usually gets at least one project per year funded by CAMPO. There is
only about $20.0 plus million available and a huge wish list of regional projects. With six (6)
votes on CAMPO plus Bob Daigh, P.E., a well qualified project has a good chance of
receiving funding.
The Williams Drive project should score well since it is ready to go to construction. It is well
leveraged with TxDOT dollars already spent or being spent on PS&E, ROW and utilities.
CAMPO requires at least a 20% local contribution. I would recommend an approximate 50%
match with $2.5 million provided by both the County and the City. Funding would need to be
available by June 2008 (TxDOT’s proposed letting schedule). The safety and congestion
improvements as well as the “gap closure” between the existing Williams Drive and the
County’s proposed pass through project should also score well.
The benefit of this scenario will only require funding from the City, County and CAMPO.
TxDOT will let and manage the construction at no cost to the City or County. I believe this
would be a great opportunity for both the City and County to work with TxDOT to solve this
critically needed project.
Last, the Commissioners Court is scheduled to consider this item next week. Under that
action the Court will probably authorize the Judge or Commissioner Covey to officially extend
this proposal to the City along with the County’s proposed $2.5 million contribution. While I
can not speak for the Commissioner’s Court, there may also be an opportunity for the County
to cover the City’s $2.5 million if cash flow would not allow you to have funds available by
June 2008. There are several ways this can be done if cash flow becomes an issue and
assuming that the “repayment” could occur quickly.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please let me know.
