Mayor Ross called the meeting to order at 3:01 PM. All Councilmembers were in attendance, with the exception of Councilmember District 2, Keith Brainard and Councilmember, District 5, Ty Gipson. Gipson arrived at 3.05 PM. Policy Development/Review Workshop – Call to order at 3:00 PM A. Presentation and discussion of proposed Transit Development Plan -- Nat Waggoner, Transportation Analyst Nat Waggoner, the City’s Transportation Analyst, provided the presentation of the Transit Development Plan update to the City Council. Waggoner began with the Agenda and noted that he would lead the Council through the changes: Agenda: Recap of 2/9 Discussion City Council Guidance Pursue Strategic Partnerships Georgetown Health Foundation Agreement Summary Updated Plan Summary Financial Plan Blended Service Financial Plan Performance Measures Service Plan Work Plan FY16 and FY17 Waggoner presented a slide depicting the history of these discussions, labeled “Where We Left Off”. The City Council Guidance from 2/9/16 was shown next: 1. Pursue Fixed route Bus Plan 2. Explore Strategic Partnerships 3. Develop Strategic Plan to Support Those Partnerships 4. Revise Routing, Service Hours, Financial Plan 5. Recommend Performance Measures Waggoner spoke on the Georgetown Health Foundation. He said that they had initiated a needs assessment in April 2015. Waggoner said that the finding from the focus groups and surveys suggested public transportation as the most critical need. Waggoner explained that the Georgetown Health Foundation is a grantor of assistance to Faith in Action for their transportation program. Waggoner announced that GHF has committed to a year grant to the City for fixed route bus service up to $200,000.00. This commitment would begin in 2017 and continue annually for 4 years. The City of Georgetown would be required to provide 4 fixed routes within 1 year of adoption by the Council. Waggoner explained that the City would handle contracting and service delivery with Capital Metro and this would require forming a Steering Committee of City of Georgetown, GHF, CARTS, Capital Metro and others to help guide service from 2017 through 2020. Waggoner thanked the Georgetown Health Foundation for the generous offer. He then provided an Updated Plan Summary: 1. Routing - Adjusted routing on Blue and Orange routes to improve timing - Added Recreation Center loop to the Blue Line 2. Service Standard to better reflect the service at implementation Page 10 of 165 3. Updated Financial Plan to reflect changes to routes and to incorporate the Georgetown Health Foundation funding. Waggoner provided a slide on the Changes to Financial Plan Assumptions: A Financial Plan was shown next. Expenses • Loaded capital costs • Increased PT M-Sat • Build from 6% FBR • Cut spans to 12 hrs. M-F and 10 hrs. Sat. • Blended FY17 Demand Response Revenues • No 5307 Carry-over • Serenada Funds • Health Foundation • Advertising Revenue Page 11 of 165 Waggoner explained that staff would recommend para-transit throughout the City. He went on to explain that, with Council direction, it would take one year to prepare for a fixed route system. The proposed plan would begin in June of 2017 and demand response service would continue until then. Waggoner explained the funds from the Serenada Subdivision. He said that the capital outlays would be completed by FY2017. Waggoner displayed the Service Transition FY17: • Demand Response replaced with new service by mid FY17 • 10 months of Demand Response (Oct.-Aug.) • 2 months fixed-route & paratransit (Aug – Sep) • $50,000 in capital programmed for FY16 • Remaining capital improvements in early FY17 • Proportional Health Foundation and advertising revenue Waggoner then provided detailed maps of the 4 proposed routes. He said that staff has involved other community resources and other City departments and are making changes that are positive. Waggoner spoke on the City’s growth and how it has affected traffic patterns. He said that routes have been corrected because of this. He explained that demographic profiles have been examined and routes have been adjusted accordingly. Waggoner presented a slide on Service Standards and what information will be measured, some of which is required to be reported to the FTA Waggoner then presented the FY16 Work Plan: Page 12 of 165 Waggoner spoke on the Next Steps: Direct staff to: • Finalize an agreement with the Georgetown Health Foundation (GHF) • Present the final TDP and Agreement to Council at the June 28, 2016 regular session. Waggoner explained that If Council wants to move ahead with a fixed route plan, staff would like to move ahead with the Georgetown Health Foundation. Fought said he appreciates all the work, but is not a fan of the fixed route system. He said that fixed route busing does nothing for elderly or those with facilitation issues. Fought said he would like to see Faith in Action continued because the door to door and volunteer factor is what is best for seniors and those with mobility issues. Fought said he would like to shift Faith in Action out of social service funding and put it into a permanent budget with an increase in the funds. He said that transportation is a function of government and Faith in Action needs to be permanent. Fought spoke on measures of performance, with a monitoring group and a control group. He said that if the program is not meeting 50% of performance measures, it will need to be brought back to Council to examine. He said this would not be meant to take control away from staff, just a need to look at. Fought said he thinks the plan is excellent. Gipson congratulated Waggoner and staff on a good job. He asked for an explanation of the Serenda funding scenario. Waggoner explained that places of importance are looked at in the Census every ten years and federal transportation dollars were allocated to the Serenda area as transportation monies in Central Texas. Waggoner explained that those monies have been going to traffic feasibility studies and funding for direct response rides. If the City would now provide those studies and rides, the funds would be given to the City. Gonzalez asked how many demand response system rides are currently labeled paratransit. He said the City would have to look at possible full costs for both fixed bus routes and paratransit rides. Gonzalez questioned the estimated number of 10,000 riders per route and asked if that could be one person transferring from route to route. Waggoner said there are 2 full time buses currently running demand response calls in Georgetown and he would estimate 35% of those rides to be paratransit. Morgan said it is critical to understand the City’s capacity for paratransit needs and that is why staff specifically asked to increase the paratransit numbers in this proposal, in order to reflect a similar capacity with our on demand service. Gonzalez asked if all paratransit rides are included in the costs shown. Waggoner confirmed. He explained that staff was no longer proposing sharing a bus and the City would need to accommodate the needs of the citizens. Waggoner corrected the figure of 10,000 riders to 10,000 trips. Gonzalez said the City might not be ready for a fixed route system. He asked if Lift or Uber would consider giving citizens vouchers instead. Gonzalez explained that he does not believe that the density needed for ridership is there yet. He said at $12 per person, people could have a lot of transportation in a voucher program. Jonrowe thanked Waggoner for the presentation and thanked the Georgetown Health Foundation for the generous offer. Jonrowe inquired about June 28th as an actual public hearing date. Waggoner said staff would like to finalize an agreement with Capital Metro first. Jonrowe said students are hard to get in touch with in the summer and if the date is moved out, the City could get more of their feedback. Morgan clarified that this date is just a date to bring information back to Council and that there would still be a process to Page 13 of 165 finalize all of the steps. Jonrowe said all of these workshops have been an example of good government on large important issues such as this. Eby thanked Waggoner. She said the time for this is now and she sees a great need in her district. Eby said she likes the partnership with the Health Foundation. She spoke on outreach to citizens. Eby explained that most of those needing the service are those that are the hardest to reach. She said that she wants to make sure the City has a way to reach out to those without internet or phone service. Hesser thanked Waggoner. He said that a fixed route is an outdated version of transportation. He asked if staff had looked into Uber to see if it was more reasonable. Hesser asked how many paratransit trips happen now. Waggoner said he does not know the figure at this time, but will come back to Council with an exact figure. Eby said the issue with vouchers is that the folks who need transportation do not necessarily have smart phones. They might not have the technology for Uber or Lift. Hesser said Uber might have a solution for those without the technology. Fought said he supports continuing to investigate other partnerships, such as Uber. He said Hesser’s idea to ask Uber and Lift for solutions is a good one. Jonrowe warned the Council to be careful when talking about Uber and Lift as the solution to the City’s transportation problems. She said with recent stories in the news, they could elect to pull out of a system at any time. Jonrowe advised using a healthy level of skepticism and to be cautious. She added that she would be much more comfortable putting her children on a bus, than in a car with a stranger. Mayor Ross recapped what was discussed by the Council. He said that Council had agreed that staff should continue to explore options, such as Uber and Lift. Ross said June 28th is not a deadline and there will be plenty of opportunity to get the word out to the community. Ross recapped Fought’s suggestion of putting Faith in Action into the permanent transportation budget, instead of through the City’s social funding program. Ross said that staff had been instructed to come back to Council with clear performance measures. Morgan asked for further clarification. He said that he had heard that prior to going forward with the fixed route bus system, staff should examine voucher possibilities, such as Uber and Lift. Ross corrected Morgan and said that fixed bus service is still going forward while exploring the other options as well. Morgan thanked Ross for the clarification. Gonzalez said he does not want to continue to invest money into things that might not be helpful. He said he wants more definites and more data to support. Ross said staff is coming back with performance measures that will address that. B. Discussion and possible direction on the 2016 Work Plan for the Housing Advisory Board -- Jennifer Bills, Housing Coordinator Jennifer Bills, the City’s Housing Coordinator, provided the 2016 Work Plan for the Housing Advisory Board. She spoke on the goals of working at workforce housing. She began by reviewing the pieces of the presentation which included reviewing the Housing Advisory Board’s purpose, highlighting accomplishments of the board since 2012 and the direction of a 2016 Work Plan for the Housing Advisory Board. Bills reviewed the Boards Purpose (By-Laws): 1. Ensuring the City has affordable housing for residents at all income levels 2. Providing long-term housing research and recommendations through the housing element 3. Making recommendations on affordable housing developments Bills then reviewed the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan • Adopted on August 12, 2012 as part of the 2030 Plan • Identified a need for 1,069 new workforce housing units by 2017 • Need for review in 2017/2018 per five year review Comp Plan requirements Bills spoke on the housing element high priority policy: 1. Develop a program through which workforce housing developers can receive incentives to provide new units. Workforce Housing Standards (UDC) was approved March 8, 2016. An established review process for housing tax credits was established in January 2014. Page 14 of 165 2. Determine suitable multifamily zoning locations with sufficient services and land use compatibility for an appropriate mix of housing types within the City. (Draft Workforce Multifamily Locations Study – last revisited in January 2014). Bills provided a map of this draft. Bills then spoke on the accomplishments made since 2012: • Gateway Northwest Apartments (2015) – 177 workforce multifamily units • Improved and retained affordable units - San Gabriel Apartments, 1100 Leander Road, 136 units - Georgetown Square, 2016 Royal Drive, 55 units - Northwest Apartments, 1623 Northwest, 24 units Bills presented a 2016 Work Plan Proposal and asked for Council feedback as she described the plan. 1. Revise Housing Tax Credit resolution process - Establish deadline for the competitive applications - Require public/neighborhood outreach - Application criteria: Multifamily entitlements, future land use, zoning - Funding: Existing staff and resources - Timeline: Summer 2016 start, City Council approval September 2016, In place October 2016 before new funding cycle 2. Update Housing Element - New demographic information - Calculate updated housing deficit - Update Workforce Multifamily Locations Study - Public input - Funding: Reallocate $24,000 in current budget - Timeline: Winter 2016 Start, Present to Council Summer 2017 3. Feasibility of Housing Tools - Provide analysis on strategies already in use nationally and in Texas: Examples: Housing Trust Fund, Community Land Trust, Local Bond Issue, Requirements for workforce housing with special development approvals (i.e. MUDs, PIDs, PUDs, TIRZ) - Funding: New request $35,000 to $45,000 - Timeline: Spring 2017 start, study complete Fall 2017 Gipson asked if Council would be given more time to examine a project, instead of a very quick turn-around for decisions. He asked if there is any way to lengthen the time to examine. Bills explained that the timelines are set by the State and that the City must follow the State schedule. She explained that the City does not get information or requests until the beginning of January and decisions must be made by March 1st. Morgan said staff will be requiring more public input and will concentrate on getting information to the affected areas. He also said that he would want all applications to come in at the same time and staff to present all to Council at the same time. Ross reminded the Council that the application request vote is a simple vote permitting the applicant to proceed with his application for tax credits. He said that if the applicant is awarded the tax credits, they need to come back to Council. Bills explained that this is not always the case. She said they would only come to Council again if they required rezoning. Bills explained that if the property is already multifamily zoned, the applicant does not need to come back to Council, if approved for tax credits. Gonzalez said until the Council knows what the City is supposed to look like, it is impossible to vote. Ross explained that if the applicant has zoning, the predictable UDC and tax credits, they can go ahead and build. Gonzalez said they should not bring it to Council then. Jonrowe asked Morgan if staff was doing a study on the cost of service of delivery to different types of developments. Morgan answered that in the proposed budget for this summer’s consideration, Council would be receiving a comp plan update. Morgan said this will include a long range plan update which will address Councilmember Gonzalez’s concerns about the balance of different uses across the City and a cost to serve model. Jonrowe said that would be a good time to incorporate the discussion of how Georgetown should look. Jonrowe asked about the updates to the UDC. Bills said no developers have come forward with a project. Bills said recommendations for improving the process of an application will be coming to the Council soon. Jonrowe asked about the timeline of the letters asking for tax credit. She asked if Council generally got copies of these letters from the developers. Bills said the letters are received in January. Page 15 of 165 Gipson said he wants the information provided to those affected and wants staff to provide public meetings. Morgan said staff will now do that first, prior to Council notification. Gonzalez asked Bills about the calculation of the updated housing deficit. He asked about the criteria and if it was limited to city limits. Bills confirmed that the criteria is limited to Georgetown city limits. Hesser asked about single family housing not being on the slide that was shown and wanted to know if that was included. He asked for the ratio of single family and multifamily. Bills said that both are part of the housing element. Hesser asked if workforce housing was split up between single family and multifamily. Bills said the formula determined that there is a need for 889 single family workforce units and 1069 multifamily workforce units. Fought said that he applauds the study. Fought said the City needs to divide demographics and remedies into 3 parts: senior, workforce and low income housing since different populations need different things. Fought said his newsletter on this topic provoked more discussion than anything he has ever written about. Fought said with senior living, nursing and hospice should be included. He added that the City needs to pay reasonable wages in the general proximity of Georgetown. He suggests not providing housing, but stimulating the economy with the correct wages instead. He suggested that staff needs to look at that income range. Fought said there is a similar responsibility to companies the City recruits. He said if the City stimulates the wages, they will make it possible for employees to have housing. Fought said that Georgetown has a responsibility to do its fair share and that it is important to look at ourselves. Jonrowe agreed with Fought. She would like to examine wages of employees and companies recruited through economic development. Jonrowe said that low and very low income is a regional, state and national problem. She said that Georgetown has a long history of going above and beyond and that there is nothing wrong with doing more than our fair share. Ross asked if this would be included in the budget request. Morgan confirmed. Ross confirmed with Council that they are in favor of this. Fought asked about the earlier study that was rejected and wanted to know if this study would contain the 33- 35 citizen member guidance group or focus group. Bills said it would not. Ross recapped the discussions. He said Councilmember Fought said there are three components for housing: senior, workforce, low income. Ross said that Council needs to give direction on general areas in Georgetown good for these projects. Ross asked Bills at what time does Council need to provide the direction. Bills explained that this presentation is the request for that direction. Bills said if the work plan is approved, the board will work on it this year. Morgan said part of the housing element would include updating the map and updating the different layers of housing, as related to affordability. Ross said Council would want to weigh in on that. Morgan agreed and said the Housing Advisory Board would review and bring back to Council. Ross asked for the timeline. Bills said they would be working on it in conjunction with the Planning Department process and it would be brought back in early spring of 2017. Morgan said the plan will overlap with other efforts and it would be important to work on it with the comp plan update in mind so that all would align. C. Overview and discussion regarding the use of a Municipal Utility District (MUD) for the proposed Homestead development -- Sofia Nelson, CNU-A, Planning Director Sofia Nelson, the City’s Planning Director, presented the overview. Nelson explained that this is a MUD request for the Homestead development. Nelson listed the MUD Review Team, including the City Manager, David Morgan, Assistant City Manager, Laurie Brewer, Assistant City Manager, Wayne Reed, Planning Director, Sofia Nelson, Systems Engineering Director, Wesley Wright, Transportation Services Director, Ed Polasek, Director of Parks and Recreation, Kimberly Garrett and City Attorneys Charlie McNabb and Skye Masson. Nelson said that the presentation would outline an overview of the Homestead Development and MUD request, how the request compared in consistency with the interim MUD policy and staff recommendations. Nelson said she would request feedback from the Council to include the following: • Does the City Council want to pursue an In-City MUD for the proposed development? • Do the identified “unique factors” justify the creation of a MUD? • If there is a desire to proceed with the MUD process, are there specific elements, focus areas, or staff recommendations you would like staff to negotiate? Page 16 of 165 Nelson showed the proposed location map, the current zoning map, the 2030 plan guidance map and the proposed subdivision layout for the property. Nelson said that water and wastewater services would be provided by the City of Georgetown and electricity would be provided by PED. Residential Projections were displayed: Commercial projections were shown: Page 17 of 165 Nelson explained that commercial retail would begin in 2019 and continue through 2023. Nelson then described the open space areas, which is 94.3 acres of open space to be programmed as preserve areas, civic greens, community gardens, dog parks, water quality areas and trail corridors. Nelson spoke on the connectivity of the trails and parks in the area. Nelson discussed the Staff Recommendations for Land Use • Land development standards for the development shall be codified through PUD/Development Agreement • The Developer shall coordinate open space/trail connection to Berry Springs Park with the City Parks Department and the County • Age restricted development shall be limited to 10% of the net developable area and 10% of housing units • Require workforce housing to be provided • Require submittal of a pattern book with the consent agreement. Nelson spoke on the Financial Request: • Maximum amount of bonds to be issued - $45,175,000 • Maximum maturity of bonds – 25 years from the date of issuance • Facilities bonds may be issued to finance – water, wastewater, storm drainage, roads, recreational facilities and refunding bonds • District only tax rate - $0.516 • Fire SIP Fee - $650 per connection Staff recommendations for the financial terms were shown by Nelson: • Maximum maturity of 20 years for any one series of bonds • Limit debt issuance to “hard costs” for water, wastewater and roads • Prior to consent of a MUD the applicant shall submit a marketing study completed within the previous 6 months Ross asked the difference between 20 and 25 years, when financing. Morgan said Council adopted a policy of 25 years in the MUD policy. Nelson said they could see infrastructure improvements consumed by debt. Nelson showed a map of the utility improvements for wastewater. She then displayed a chart of the Utility Improvements through a City and Developer Partnership. Page 18 of 165 Staff recommendations for utility agreement terms determined that Section 1 and 2 wastewater improvements shall be completed within 3 years of MUD approval. Nelson explained that this is so that the developer would take care of it before the City would have to. Nelson spoke next on transportation and explained that a traffic impact analysis is currently under review. Nelson said that Airport Road would be a minor arterial. She spoke on the overall transportation plan and the right of way and what the ultimate intersection would look like. Nelson said that staff has looked at the development impact on this road and design and improvements would have to take place. Nelson displayed the staff recommendations for transportation improvements: • Require the completion of a TIA and construction/funding of both on-site and off-site improvements identified in the TIA • The TIA shall study the impact of the development on Airport Road • Airport Road improvements shall be prioritized in negotiations • Require the subdivision to be designed to include increased connectivity, shorter blocks and limited cul-de-sacs Nelson spoke on the adopted Mud Policy and how this request would align with the policy. Policy Breakdown: • Part 1: General policies correlating to existing UDC provisions to ensure a complete review of all MUD proposals • Part 2: Policies used in reviewing MUD requests for a “unique factor” Nelson reviewed the MUD Policy Elements. She explained that MUDs are an appropriate tool to allow urban level density in locations supported by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, outside of the ultimate city boundary where the City may annex in the future. Nelson said they are also appropriate where the City cannot provide water and wastewater service within 4.5 years. Nelson displayed UDC Prerequisites. Nelson then explained if the determination on either of these two issues is affirmative, then the City Council shall not consent to the creation of the district unless the applicant demonstrates that unique factors justify its creation. She also said that if the determination on both issues is negative, then before consenting to the creation of a district, the City Council shall consider further whether the creation of the district is feasible, practicable, necessary for the provision of the proposed services and would be a benefit to the land, and therefore warrants the City’s consent, consistent with the other considerations in the policy. Page 19 of 165 Nelson charted the evaluation of this MUD request: Page 20 of 165 Nelson discussed previously approved MUDs and displayed a comparison of financial terms of In-City MUDS. Nelson then provided a recap of recommendations from staff and a recap of staff’s requested feedback from the Council. Mr. Gary Newman, the developer, spoke. He provided slides on the unique features of the development. He explained that the developer would be over-contributing on water features. He showed a map of the property and said that the land owner was present in the audience. Newman described the zoning and the need to go to MF1, which operates like a condominium. He next explained the buffer. Newman showed the unit Page 21 of 165 summary with detailed explanations and provided the financial plan, which included $33.9 million in development costs, with an additional $9 million in other costs. Newman said the developer is not asking for very much of the expense. He then showed a market study of growth patterns in Austin and Williamson County and explained why Georgetown is appealing to empty nesters. John Tatum spoke next. He described the low impact development and how the water conservation is unique. Tatum explained the water conservation systems and distributed ponds. He described the Purple Pipe Irrigation System and the water balance results storage. Tatum spoke on potable water savings and showed examples of low impact development. Tatum explained that another unique factor is the interceptor project with provides 25,000 connections and the development will only use 1,500 of these. Tatum then spoke on the Traffic Impact Analysis and the recommendations. Angie Newman spoke on the overview plan. She showed the features and landscape of the current property. Newman then provided architectural examples of projects they have developed in Austin and spoke of their awards for land development. Newman showed images of the parks and open space - 93.4 acres of open space. She described the trails and creek access and the connectivity they will provide, which will include bike lanes and special lighting. She said that the open space will promote music and art and dog parks and showed examples of community images. Mayor Ross asked Gary Newman if there is anything he wants from Council. Newman said he would like age qualified development changes to be 32% instead of 10%. He said this is because the dues have to support the amenities. He said this could be a benefit to the City in that it would free up frozen taxes of those moving. Nelson said the recommended 10% is because of the City’s MUD policy. Gipson said this is a beautiful project. He asked about the roads and said he had concerns, especially in the Berry Creek area. Gipson said he also has concerns with the age restriction element. Gipson asked if a school was still in the plan and if it had been GISD approved. Newman explained that 13 acres have been set aside in the development for a future school. Morgan said he has talked to Dr. Brent and GISD is very interested. Gipson asked Morgan about MUD policy. Morgan said Council has asked to review the MUD Policy and it will be brought for discussion soon. Morgan said a utility benefit is good with MUDS and this particular development would have significance utility benefits. Gipson said roads must be looked at. Newman said the developer can do utilities or roads, but cannot do both. Jonrowe asked how many MUDs have been denied. Morgan said this is the 5th mud request since he started with the City one year ago and it would be the 4th approved in 12 months. There are not any MUDs that have not been approved. Jonrowe asked about the “needs further review” on the staff analysis. She said that it seems like a lot. Jonrowe asked if age restrictions were part of any other MUDs. Nelson said she is not sure. Newman, the developer, said the Hillwood development did have age restriction units. Newman explained that the City will not take over the infrastructure, but rather the HOA would do this. Jonrowe said she is concerned about the number of cul–de- sacs and would like to see more connectivity. Newman spoke on the Purple Pipe Plan and how important the system is as a model project. He explained that there would be a potable meter at each house, which would help the conservation water considerably. Eby said she has concerns with MUD applications. She emphasized the importance to be consistent. Eby said it is best to be consistent with the policy and In-City MUDs are a problem. She added that this is an impressive development and she would follow staff recommendations. Eby said the City should follow policy on the age restriction homes and she would not support the 32% change to age restricted housing.

She noted that the Resolution is for the Shadow Canyon development and the planned unit and MUD request. She explained that her presentation would involve both Item I and Item J, as they are related. Nelson showed the map of the property location and showed a chart of other approved MUDs. Nelson spoke next on the project history. She explained the zoning and the requirements for the development. Nelson said that the project would include approximately 600 lots. The project would include a residential collector road and a major collector road. She explained that the average price of a home in the development would be $385,000. Nelson said that the water and wastewater of the development would be City of Georgetown, while the electric would be PEC. Nelson then showed the parkland and open space illustration. Nelson described the Planned Unit Development District – Development Standards for the project. Residential Development Standards Parkland/Trails/Open Space/Amenity Center Street Design Tree Protection and Mitigation Residential Landscaping Environmental Signage The Financial Request was shown next.

City FM/RD 0.040 Page 25 of 165 MUD 0.660 Total 2.974 Nelson showed the utility infrastructure image, the overall transportation plan infrastructure image and an image of the adopted MUD policy. Nelson then provided the adopted mud policy breakdown: Part 1: General policies correlating to existing UDC provisions to ensure a complete review of all MUD proposals Part 2: Policies used in reviewing MUD requests for a “unique factor”. Nelson showed a Mud Policy Evaluation for the project. The evaluation determines each policy element and whether it has met the policy requirements or does not meet the policy requirements. Three elements were shown to not meet the policy requirements: Element 1: Retain the two threshold questions under Section 13.10.030 Element 2: Provide examples of “unique” factors justifying MUD creation” to guide determinations made under Section 13.10.030 Element 9: Require development in a MUD to exceed minimum UDC land use and development standards and address the land use provisions in the consent agreement or related agreement. Nelson said that the development does not have a school site and does not follow the signage requirements. Nelson then showed the PUD rezoning criteria. Several items fell into the category labeled “unable to determine based on provided information”. Only one PUD objective did not meet the requirement. This is the requirement for a variety of housing types, employment opportunities, or commercial services to achieve a balanced community. Nelson reviewed previous City Council action regarding parkland, trails, open space and the amenity center. She then reviewed previous Council action regarding ADA accessibility of the San Gabriel Trail. Nelson read the caption. Mr. Straub spoke. He thanked the Council. Straub explained that he also developed the Oaks at San Gabriel project in Georgetown. He said that he is doing more than required with this project and is happy to help the City. Straub said that he will contributing $500,000.00 to the City through this development agreement. Motion by Fought, second by Gipson to approve Item I. Gipson asked about the 20% of the criteria not meeting the requirement on the commercial side. Nelson said this is because commercial is located outside of the scope of this development. Nelson showed an exhibit where the commercial property lies. Jonrowe asked about the signage variance that is being requested. Nelson said the subdivision sign request is different than usual in height and location, but added that the developer has provided landscaping features that are twice as much as required. She said the developer is proposing subdivision signs that would be internal that would be larger than UDC standard. Jonrowe asked if similar variances have been granted. Nelson said she believes that sign variances have been granted to other developments. Jonrowe asked the price difference from the smallest to the largest home. The developer answered $250,000 to $500,000. Eby said she cannot support the MUD request. She explained that she has nothing against the project itself, but is not identifying unique factors required for a MUD. Fought said the City sign policy, might need to be resolved. He agreed that it does make a big difference to the project. Mark Baker spoke and explained the intention of the signage. He said that the variance has been provided in other developments. Baker said that the project needs to make a statement from a roadway. He explained that the letters need to be large enough to read from roadways. Fought asked for an example and asked how big the Sun City development signs are. Fought said maybe the City policy is too small. Baker said he does not know when and where the 40 feet requirement was established and added that entry features are important. Gipson said he agrees that the City sign ordinance is too small. Eby said she does not have an issue with the signage. She opposes the huge amount of debt issued and whether it is appropriate for this project. Gipson asked which MUDS have variances. Nelson said there are variances in development standards on all MUDS in the city. Fought said he estimates that 90% of criteria is met and 10% are variances. Morgan agreed. He said the provision that is different with this project is that everything is on site and internal. Morgan added that projects usually bring utilities to the site, which is not the case for this project. There will be no expansion of utility services. Page 26 of 165 Jonrowe said the City would not benefit from the MUD and staff needs clear direction from the Council. Morgan said every time a MUD comes through, Council says they need to look into the City’s MUD policy. He said that staff is working strongly on establishing best practices and bringing to Council. Morgan wanted to provide a reminder that Council had received a previous workshop presentation on this development and its uniqueness. Morgan described the established elements of this project’s uniqueness. Gonzalez said the benefits of the uniqueness of this project seem marginal. Motion by Fought, second by Gipson to approve Item I. Approved: 5-1 (Brainard absent, Eby opposed) J. Second Reading of an Ordinance Rezoning approximately 278.21 acres of the Isaac Donagan and Joseph Thompson Surveys, located at 2951 Hwy 29 West, from the Residential Single-Family (RS) District to Planned Unit Development (PUD) District with a base zoning district of Residential Single-Family -- Sofia Nelson, CNU-A, Planning Director (action required) Sofia Nelson, the City’s Planning Director, spoke on the item and its relationship to the previous item.

Foster read the caption and explained the timelines and intentions. Foster said he is in favor of keeping the rates low for a very long period of time and Atmos continues to raise rates. They are known for their transparency in rates explained Foster. There is not a lot that can be done with this type of rate change and tariff. Motion by Fought, second by Gipson to approve Item K. Approved: 6-0 (Brainard absent) L. Forwarded from the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB): Consideration and possible action to award a contract to Cholla Pavement Maintenance, of Apache Junction, Arizona, for two course chip seal and Polymer Modified Masterseal (PMM) on streets identified in the Pavement Management Program for $1,600,719.40 – Ed Polasek, Transportation Services Director Ed Polasek, the Transportation Services Director, spoke on the item. He described examples of 2 course chip seal and where it has been applied. Polasek spoke on average daily trips. He spoke on the challenges of the process in 2015 and explained that best management practices have been studied and determined. Polasek spoke on the specifications that have been added. He described the residential streets in the Sierra Vista Subdivision and the plans for that project. Polasek then described the rejuvenation process. The product has been discontinued and alternative products are being researched. He explained the treatment that is necessary today and said that they have now found a proven good product and best practices. Polasek showed the map of future street treatments and listed the streets with General Government and Finance Advisory Board recommendation. Polasek said that staff would have the same recommendation. Motion by Fought, second by Hesser to approve Item L. Fought said this needs to be done by an experienced contractor with quality control from the City. Polasek said two levels of inspection have been implemented and rock, oil and temperatures will be monitored. Approved: 6-0 (Brainard absent) M. Forwarded from the Georgetown Utility Advisory Board (GUS): Consideration and possible action to approve the execution of a Water Treatment and Transmission Agreement between the City of Round Rock and the City of Georgetown -- Glenn W. Dishong, Utility Director Page 27 of 165 Glenn Dishong, the Utility Director for the City, spoke on the item. He explained that the City of Round Rock has excess water treatment availability. The excess could be used by the City of Georgetown instead of the City building another facility. Dishong explained that Round Rock already has an existing interconnect with the City of Georgetown. Dishong said that Round Rock will treat water and return it to Georgetown through Lake Georgetown. He noted that the Georgetown Utility System Advisory Board (GUS) had recommended approval. Dishong then read the caption. Motion by Gonzalez, second by Eby to approve Item M. Approved: 6-0 (Brainard absent) N. Forwarded from the Georgetown Utility Advisory Board (GUS): Consideration and possible action to approve agreements with Itineris N.A. for the acquisition, implementation, and licensing of a Customer Information (CIS) system in the amount of $2,500,557.00 -- Leticia Zavala, Customer Care Director Leticia Zavala, the City’s Customer Care Director, spoke on the item. She explained that the Georgetown Utility System Advisory Board recommended approval at their meeting on May 13, 2016. Zavala explained the many months of RFP reviews. She described the team who worked on the project. Zavala noted that preliminary pricing had been brought to Council in April and described 3 areas of concern: Schedule risk, 41 integration points across 17 systems and the roles and responsibility of data transfer. Zavala explained the decision that it is better to have manpower be a vendor responsibility. She spoke on a request to train the super user. Jonrowe asked when this would roll out. 18 months said Zavala. Jonrowe asked if customers would know of any changes. Zavala said the process will be seamless to the customers. She explained that many more programs can be added incrementally at later timelines. She said they are excited about the availability of future conservation programs. Zavala explained how features could be sent specifically to very specific customers. Jonrowe thanked staff for their hard work on this project. Fought thanked staff for the better product and the savings and the customer service. Zavala read the caption. Motion by Jonrowe, second by Eby to approve Item N. Approved: 6-0 (Brainard absent) O.

She provided the history of the project and spoke on the bidding process. Zavala explained that Westin was chosen because of their previous work with other municipalities and their pricing. Westin services will be used during the 18 month implementation of the Itineris project. Gonzalez asked how a company gets experience if no one used them because they have no experience.

Customer shall be responsible for any software and content displayed and distributed by Customer or Customer's web hosting customers, if any. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Commercial Service Order, Customer acknowledges that pay per view events and premium video and audio services may not be available, and, if provided, may be subject to additional charges beyond the base rate. Suddenlink shall provide Customer with the Services and Equipment identified on Customer's Commercial Service Order; provided, however, if Suddenlink determines that Customer's location is not serviceable under Suddenlink's normal installation guidelines, Suddenlink may terminate this Agreement. Unless provided otherwise herein, Suddenlink shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the Services in accordance with applicable performance standards, however, Suddenlink shall have no responsibility for the maintenance or repair of networks, facilities and equipment not furnished by Suddenlink. 3. Payment. Customer shall pay all monthly service charges, plus non-recurring, one-time set-up, installation and/or construction charges as set forth on the Commercial Service Order. Unless stated otherwise on the Commercial Service Order, Monthly Recurring Charges/Access Charges ("MRCs") for Services shall begin upon, and Non Recurring Charge/One-time Activation and Set-up Fees ("NRCs") if any shall be due upon, the commencement of Services. Any amount not received by the due date will be subject to additional fees as set forth below. If applicable to the Service, Customer shall pay sales, use, gross receipts, excise, access, universal service fund assessments, 911 fees, franchise fees, bypass or other local, state and Federal taxes or charges imposed on the use of the Services. Taxes will be separately stated on the Customer's invoice. Unpaid balances shall be subject to interest or late charges at the maximum rate allowed by law. Failure to pay the total balance when due may be grounds for Suddenlink to impose an administrative fee ("Administrative Fee") in accordance with applicable law. Any Administrative Fee imposed on Customer is intended to be a reasonable advance estimate of costs of managing past due accounts. Suddenlink does not extend credit to Suddenlink's customers and the Administrative Fee is not interest, a credit service charge or a finance charge. Failure to receive a bill does not release Customer from Customer's obligation to pay. Failure to pay the total balance when due shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and may be grounds for termination of Service upon written notice to Customer if Customer has failed to correct such non-payment default within ten (10) days of written notice from Suddenlink, removal of Equipment from Customer's premises and/or imposition of an Administrative fee in accordance with applicable law. 4. Additional Fees. In addition to MRCs, NRCs, late charges, interest, and any Administrative Fee, additional fees may be imposed, including fees for returned checks, charge card chargeback, early termination, reconnection and service calls. Additional charges, including attorney fees, may also be imposed if collection activities are required to recover past due balances. A list of fees is available on Suddenlink's website (www.suddenlink.com) ("Schedule of Fees"). Suddenlink reserves the right to amend or change the Schedule of Fees from time to time by posting the changes on Suddenlink's website. 5. Term, Early Termination. The term of the Service Order shall commence on the date that any Service commences and shall terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term set forth on the Service Order (the “Term”). If a Service Order does not specify a term, the Term shall be one (1) year from the date that any Service commences. Upon the expiration of the Term, each Service Order(s) shall automatically renew for successive periods of one (1) year each ("Renewal Term(s)"), unless prior notice of non-renewal is delivered by either party to the other at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Service Term or the then current Renewal Term. Effective at any time after the end of the Term and from time to time therein, Suddenlink may, modify the charges for HSI and/or Video Services to reflect then-current prevailing pricing subject to thirty (30) days prior notice. Customer will have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice to cancel the applicable Service without further liability. Should Customer fail to cancel within this timeframe, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the modified Service pricing for the remainder of the Renewal Term. Except as provided below, if Customer cancels, terminates or downgrades the Service before the completion of the Term, or prior to the term of any promotional offer, Customer agrees to pay Suddenlink all sums, which shall become due and owing as of the effective date of the cancellation or termination, including: (i) all non-recurring charges reasonably expended by Suddenlink to establish service to Customer and not remunerated, (ii) any disconnection, early cancellation or termination charges reasonably incurred and paid by Suddenlink to third parties on behalf of Customer, and (iii) all recurring charges for the remaining balance of the Term or term of the promotional offer. The Agreement is subject to the availability of funding. In the event that funds do not become available the Agreement may be terminated or the scope may be amended. A 30 day written notice will be provided to Suddenlink and there will be no penalty nor other charges incurred by the City. 6. Disputed Charges. Customer must notify Suddenlink in writing of billing errors disputes or requests for credit within thirty (30) days after Customer receives the bill for which correction of an error or credit is sought. The date of the dispute shall be the date Suddenlink receives sufficient documentation to enable Suddenlink to investigate the dispute. The date of the resolution is the date Suddenlink completes its investigation and notifies the Customer of the disposition of the dispute. 7. Default. If Customer fails to comply with any material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to failure to make payment as specified, then Suddenlink, at its sole option, may elect to pursue one or more of the following courses of action upon proper notice to Customer as required by applicable law: (i) terminate service whereupon all sums then due and payable shall become immediately due and payable, (ii) suspend all or any part of Services, and/or (iii) pursue any other remedies, including reasonable attorneys' fees, as may be provided at law or in equity, including the applicable termination liabilities. 8.

Low Density Residential Undeveloped lot Property History The 11.168 acre property was annexed into the City on May 10, 2016 by Ordinance No. 2016-41. Site Page 58 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Oak Meadows Corner Rezoning Page 2 of 5 At the time of annexation into the City, the default AG District was assigned and therefore the applicant is requesting to rezone from the AG District to the C-1 District. The property is currently vacant and undeveloped. The commercial lot is currently in the final stages of platting with PFP-2013-005 application. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use: The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site is Mixed Use Neighborhood Center. The Mixed Use Neighborhood Center category applies to smaller areas of mixed commercial use within existing and new neighborhoods. Neighborhood-serving mixed use areas abut roadway corridors or are located at key intersections. Uses in these areas might include a corner store, small grocery, coffee shops, and other personal services, as well as small professional offices. They may include non-commercial uses such as churches, schools or parks. 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 intent of the Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center category was to identify certain areas of the City that would support localized personal services and retail locations for neighborhood goods and services, rather than large commercial development and high-traffic generating uses. Growth Tier: The 2030 Comprehensive Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 2. These areas are typically in the ETJ and will likely be needed to serve the City’s growth needs over the next 10-20 years. These areas will be served with City services once annexed into the City limits. Transportation The property fronts on Jim Hogg Road and Williams Drive. Jim Hogg Road is classified as an existing collector road and Williams Drive is classified as an existing Major Arterial road. The City recently installed a traffic signal at the Jim Hogg Road and Williams Drive intersection and it will be in operation summer of 2016. As specific development is further pursued, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required if the use is anticipated to exceed 2,000 trips per day. A TIA will dictate and evaluate the need for right-of-way dedication and improvements. Utilities Electric is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, and water and wastewater are served by Georgetown Utility Services. It is anticipated that there is adequate capacity to serve this property either by existing capacity or developer participation in upgrades to infrastructure. Proposed Zoning District The 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 Page 59 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Oak Meadows Corner Rezoning Page 3 of 5 areas, but are not appropriate along residential streets or residential collectors. The District is more appropriate along major and minor thoroughfares and corridors. Typical uses within this district are general retail, restaurants (including drive-through), gas stations, medical or dental offices, etc. In the C-1 District, the floor area ratio of a building cannot exceed 0.5. Additionally, no more than eight (8) fuel pumps (4 fuel islands) are permitted in the C-1 District for gas station uses. Notable Development Standards in C-1 District: Maximum building height 35 feet Minimum front/street setback 25 feet Gateway Landscape (properties fronting Williams Drive) 25 feet Maximum impervious cover 70% Maximum Floor Area Ratio 0.5 Building Design Standards - Section 7.04 Applies Lighting Standards - Section 7.05 Applies Staff Analysis The intersection of Jim Hogg Road and Williams Drive serves many purposes for both regional and local traffic. From a local perspective, it is entrance to various residential ETJ neighborhoods with existing commercially entitled property on the southeastern corner of the intersection. From a regional perspective it is the entrance to Jim Hogg Park and a long planned and modeled commercial node (identified on the City’s adopted Century Plan and 2030 Comprehensive Plan). As part of the 2030 adoption process, the land use element of the plan identified a number of land use goals, policies and actions. The following goals and action statements are the most relevant to this request: • Goal: “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.” o The policies listed under this goal include “reserve and rezone land ideally suited for long-term commercial and employment uses…”; “Prepare land use provisions to discourage standard commercial “strip” development and encourage compact commercial and mixed use centers at appropriate locations.” The subject property is located in an area that has been identified in a commercial node in two of the City’s long term plans and is suited for commercial development since it is fronting Williams Drive. This property was already anticipated to be commercially zoned with annexation into the City limits. Page 60 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Oak Meadows Corner Rezoning Page 4 of 5 • Goal: “Maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g. stable neighborhoods, economically sound commercial and employment areas). o The policies listed under this goal include “minimize impacts of encroachment by incompatible land uses” and “Revise zoning ordinance to ensure property transitions and buffering between established neighborhoods and adjacent commercial and manufacturing areas.” The property will serve as a transition area and buffer from Williams Drive as you enter established residential neighborhoods in the ETJ area. The rezoning will also allow compatible uses consistent with the development patterns along Williams Drive. The proposed rezoning to C-1 along with the associated development standards (identified above) directly help to implement the above goals of a balance of land uses as well as ensuring transitions and buffers between residential and commercial uses. As development patterns continue to extend west, the 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. 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 The application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be complete. The zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan The proposed zoning change is consistent with the Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan The zoning change promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe orderly, and healthful development of the City The zoning change request supports orderly development by placing zoning districts in the appropriate location for buffering and transition purposes. 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 fronting Williams Drive, current uses and character of the area. 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 appropriate at this location given the majority of the existing land uses surrounding the property along Williams Drive, including those in the ETJ, are commercial. Page 61 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Oak Meadows Corner Rezoning Page 5 of 5 Findings Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings: 1. The Future Land Use category of Mixed Use Neighborhood Center supports the C-1 District at this location since this category applies to areas of mixed commercial use within existing and new neighborhoods. These type of developments typically serve as gateways into the neighborhoods that they serve. 2. The location meets the intent of the C-1 District as the lot is located along Williams Drive, a major arterial road, and may serve the nearby residential areas. 3. The uses allowed in the C-1 District are appropriate at this location given the majority of the existing land uses surrounding the property along Williams Drive, including those in the ETJ, are commercial. 4. The design standards for the C-1 District are appropriate for this location given the limitations of Floor Area Ratio and lighting standards to protect the nearby residential areas. 5. There is sufficient capacity of City utilities to accommodate the proposed rezoning from AG to C-1 District at this location. 6. The newly installed traffic signal at the intersection of Jim Hogg Road and Williams Drive will help alleviate some traffic concerns with traffic flow in this area. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s request based on the above-mentioned findings. Public Comments As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of the subject property that are located within City limits (1 notice mailed) were notified of the rezoning 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 one phone call from a neighbor requesting general information about the rezoning application. Staff also received a second phone call from a neighboring property owner concerned with access/connectivity on Jim Hogg Road with a future commercial development at the subject property.

Janis Dr. (see Exhibit 1) Total Acreage: 3.093 acres Applicant: Tim Haynie, Haynie Consulting, Inc. Property Owner: Jim Faulk, Inc. Existing Use: Undeveloped Property Existing Zoning: Residential Single-Family (RS) District Proposed Zoning: Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) Future Land Use: Specialty Mixed Use and Moderate Density Residential Overview of Applicant’s Request The property is located along E. Janis Drive between Westwood Lane and Park Lane, west of IH 35. The applicant has requested a rezoning of the 3.093 acres to the Low Density Multifamily district to develop a multifamily development to be known as Colony Park Townhomes. This property is located within the boundaries of the Williams Drive Gateway Redevelopment Area Plan and is part of the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) set up as a financing tool for the redevelopment of this area. Site Information Physical Characteristics: The property is long and narrow, approximately 900 feet at its longest and 200 feet wide, although there is limited boundary fronting on adjacent roadways. The land is fairly flat with some tree cover, although no tree survey has been conducted to determine if any are preserved species. Surrounding Properties: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: Page 83 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 2 of 9 Property History The subject property was annexed into the City of Georgetown in April 1964 (Ordinance #64-A1) and assigned the default zoning, at that time, of Residential Single-family (RS). The property has no record of platting or development. This property falls within the area referred to as the Williams Drive Gateway Redevelopment Area (WDGRA), a 70-acre area along the west side of Interstate 35 centered approximately by Williams Drive (RM 2338). The City identified this area in 2004 as a high priority for planning and economic development and wanted to revitalize and reimagine the “gateway” to the western half of Georgetown. The goals included improving traffic Location Zoning Future Land Use Existing Use North Residential Single-family (RS) High Density Multifamily (MF-2) Moderate Density Residential Single-family detached Single-family attached South Residential Single-family (RS) General Commercial (C-3) Specialty Mixed Use Single-family detached Undeveloped East High Density Multifamily (MF-2) General Commercial (C-3) Specialty Mixed Use Single-family attached Apartments Undeveloped West Residential Single-family (RS) Moderate Density Residential Single-family detached Page 84 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 3 of 9 flow and access to the area, maximizing revenue generation of the area, attracting and recruiting a mix of uses consistent with the vision of the area and the construction of aesthetically pleasing buildings. The Williams Drive Gateway Redevelopment Area Master Plan was adopted in April of 2006 that embraced the vision of the citizens and was to serve as the basis for a future rezoning. The plan envisions a mixed-use pedestrian oriented activity center where land uses are vertically integrated, buildings are pulled up to the sidewalk, parking is de-emphasized and placed to the rear of buildings, and building entries, façade treatments, streetscape, landscape, and signage design create an inviting and comfortable pedestrian environment. Some of the ultimate goals included improving traffic flow and access to the area, maximizing revenue generation of the area, attracting and recruiting a mix of uses consistent with the vision of the area and the construction of aesthetically pleasing buildings. Following the planning efforts, a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone was established in October of 2006 to create a sustainable financial source to fund needed improvements within this project area. The City adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which succeeded the Century Plan, in February 2008. In the updated Future Land Use Plan, the WDGRA is represented by the Specialty Mixed Use land use category. In March of 2008, the Mixed Use zoning district was adopted in order to implement the Williams Drive Gateway Redevelopment Area Plan (in addition to the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) plan), although due to economic factors at the time it was never applied. Since that time, the extension of Rivery Boulevard, which was not part of the original efforts, has been planned to extend through this area. Utilities The property is in the City of Georgetown water, wastewater, and electric service areas. It is anticipated there is adequate capacity to serve the property once developed. Transportation The subject property has approximately 45 feet of frontage on Janis Drive and 50 feet of frontage on Ryan Lane. Both Janis and Ryan Streets are designed, constructed, and used as single family residential streets. Additionally, the future extension of Rivery Boulevard from Williams Drive to Northwest Boulevard will cut the southeastern tip off this property, leaving it ultimately with less than 50-feet of frontage as proposed. Page 85 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 4 of 9 Subject Property 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use: This property is designated on the 2030 Plan-Future Land Use Map as primarily Specialty Mixed Use with some Moderate Density Residential on the northern portion of the property fronting Janis Drive. Page 86 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 5 of 9 The Moderate Density Residential category includes the city’s predominantly single-family neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density between 1.1 and 3 dwelling units per gross acre. The majority of the property, however, is designated Specialty Mixed Use Area (SMUA). This category encourages mixed use developments and planned ‘centers’ that can integrate complementary uses. Emphasized activities would include retail, offices, and entertainment, with options for civic and parks/green spaces as well as higher density residential options, including multi-family style housing. Mixed use categories should be implemented through the application of zoning and development standards that encourage appropriate form and character, such as Planned Unit Developments or Mixed Use Districts. The SMUA category exists in strategic locations where the desire is to create patterns of development focused on pedestrian-oriented, storefront-style streets. The SMUA designation at this location represents the City’s interest in revitalizing and reimagining the “gateway” to the western half of Georgetown and implementing the Williams Drive Gateway Redevelopment Area Master Plan Growth Tier: In order to stage contiguous, compact, and incremental growth of the city over the next two decades, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan establishes a tiered growth framework. The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A, 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. Zoning Districts Low Density Multifamily (MF-1) The Low Density Multi-Family District (MF-1) is intended for attached and detached multi- family residential development, such as apartments, condominiums, triplexes, and fourplexes, at a density up to 14 dwelling units per acre and maximum impervious cover of 50%. MF-1 zoned properties should have access to major thoroughfares and arterial streets and should not route traffic through lower density districts and may serve as a transition between single-family districts and more intense multifamily or commercial districts. Notable Development Standards in MF-1: Max. building height 35 ft Min. rear setback to residential district 20 ft (10 ft setback when not next to residential) Min. side setback to residential district 20 ft (10 ft setback when not next to residential) Bufferyard required between: • MF-1 and RS • MF-1 and MF-2 • 15 ft wide planting area. 1 shade tree, 2 evergreen ornamental trees, 8 evergreen shrubs/50 linear ft • None Maximum units per structure 12 Page 87 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 6 of 9 Staff Analysis The subject property is generally located on the outer edge of an established single family neighborhood and immediately adjacent to undeveloped commercial property. As identified in the transportation section of this report the Rivery Boulevard extension is planned to touch the eastern tip of the subject property. The Rivery extension is planned as a minor arterial level roadway (4 lane divided). As the roadway is constructed the use and access opportunities for parcels immediately adjacent to the tract will evolve given the traffic flow impacts of the new roadway. Under today’s conditions the tract functions as a transitional tract, sandwiched between single-family, multi-family and commercial property. Additionally, the subject property is limited to frontage on two local residential roadways, with frontage on Janis Street limited to approximately 45 feet. Under today’s conditions the property is encumbered with conditions that limit development opportunities. Staff has evaluated the request under the rezoning criteria established in the UDC and has made the following findings: Rezoning Criteria: Section 3.06 of the Unified Development Code (UDC) establishes criteria to consider when evaluating a zoning change. Staff’s evaluation of each approval criteria is identified below. 1. The application is complete and the information contained within the application is sufficient and correct enough to allow adequate review and final action. The rezoning application is consistent with the above criteria statement. 2. The zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property straddles the moderate density and specialty mixed use future land use designations. Each designation encourages multi-family development in appropriate locations when access, transportation provisions, and adjacent uses support the request. While the level of density associated with the MF-1 district could be consistent with the comprehensive plan and infill development is desired, the current access conditons along with the minimum development standards associated with the MF-1 zoning district are not consistent with the overall intent of the future land use designation and goals of the 2030 Plan: • Promote more compact, higher density development (e.g., traditional neighborhoods, Transi-Oriented Development, mixed-use, and walkable neighborhoods) within appropriate infill locations. Page 88 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 7 of 9 • Encourage forms of development that promote an interconnected street network, safe pedestrian routes, and healthy, active living. • Minimize impacts of encroachments by incompatible land uses and promoting more compact, higher density development within infill locations. 3. The zoning change promotes the health, safety or general welfare of the City and the safe, orderly, and healthful development of the City. The rezoning application is inconsistent with this criteria statement. While the type and density of development allowed within this district may not negatively affect the health, safety, and general welfare of the community, the lack of standards within the district that would ensure the appropriate form of that development do not promote the safe, orderly, and healthful development of the City. Additionally, without the extension of Rivery Boulevard in place, access to the site is limited and would force vehicle traffic from the development onto two existing local streets. 4. The zoning change is compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the neighborhood. The rezoning request is consistent with the adjacent MF-2 zoning to the northwest and multi-family non-conforming use to the north. The UDC identifies the MF-1 District to be appropriate in areas designated on the Future Land Use Plan as high density residential or one of the mixed-use categories, and may be appropriate in the moderate density residential area based on location, surrounding uses, and infrastructure impacts. However MF-1 should have convenient access to major thoroughfares and arterial streets and should not route traffic through lower density residential areas. Additionally, The MF-1 District is appropriate adjacent to both residential and non- residential districts and may serve as a transition between single-family districts and more intense multifamily or commercial districts when appropriate access is provided. 5. The property to be rezoned is suitable for uses permitted by the district that would be applied by the proposed amendment. Generally, the proposed use of multi-family development such as apartments, condominiums, triplexes, and fourplexes could be suitable for the subject property if access to the site was not reliant on routing traffic through a lower density residential area. General Findings: Staff has reviewed the requested rezoning application and offers the following general findings: • The MF-1 zoning district does not best implement the goals of the 2030 Plan. o The SMUA category anticipates a level of development that the by-right standards for development under the MF-1 district cannot guarantee. Page 89 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 8 of 9 Mixed-Use zoning, per UDC Section 4.09, isn’t feasible on this property due its size. The implementation of the Mixed-Use zoning requires a regulating plan that is best utilized on larger properties or groups of properties rather than on a parcel by parcel basis. A PUD could be utilized to rezone this property; however, because a blueprint identifying how each tract contributes to the overall vision has not been established, it is unclear at this time what PUD considerations would be warranted. o The MF-1 district does not provide standards that would require an interconnected street network or provide for any safe pedestrian routes through this property. • Although it should be noted the current RS zoning district also does not best implement the goals of the 2030 Plan, the district’s development standards are such that development could be accomplished on the tract without a rezoning. • The City has created the Williams Drive Tax Increment Refinance Zone (TIRZ) as a means of spurring and incentivizing high-quality development/redevelopment within this area. The type of development that occurs within the TIRZ affects its financial success, therefore individual rezoning applications should be carefully considered. • The extension of Rivery Boulevard through this area will drastically change the make-up of this area and the configuration and interaction of properties in a manner still yet to be determined. It is premature to state this development’s additional effect on the street system. • City Council has initiated a Williams Drive Study that covers the area in which this property is located. This study seeks to build on future transportation options such as the Rivery extension and additional local streets that will support investment opportunities in this area. The upcoming extension of Rivery Blvd will transform many of the existing parcel configurations and provide tremendous access to I-35 and Williams where previously non-existent. The 3 acres in question are being studied by staff and the Williams Drive Study consultants to determine how a master plan for that area will enhance the development potential of the entire area. The MF-1 district use of multi-family may end up being suitable for the area with the right planning efforts but in this transition time period the current development standards for the district do not provide the best long-term outlook. Even if the property develops under the existing RS district, that development will ensure local street connection with public utility extensions from Janis to the future Rivery Blvd. The MF-1 District will ensure private development (possibly gated) that will not promote balanced traffic distribution that is crucial for this area to support development opportunities along Rivery. Page 90 of 165 Planning Department Staff Report Colony Park Townhomes Page 9 of 9 Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending Denial of the application based on the above findings. Staff believes this rezoning request is premature given the pending development considerations for the area. Public Comments As required by the Unified Development Code, property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject property and within the city limits were notified (42 notices mailed) of the rezoning application, a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper on May 1st, and signs were posted on-site. Staff has received two written responses opposed to the applicant’s rezoning request citing concerns regarding traffic, crime, environmental impact, and the already existing multifamily in the area.

Staff is proposing the installation o f ne w street signs to identify the districts and promote them to residents and to urists. The signs are designed in conformance with the Manual on Unifo rm Traffic Control Devices and the City of Georgetown design specifications, with one e xc e ption. The MUTCD spe c ifies brown signs for cultural and histo ric attractions; however, staff wo rked with the Transportation Engineer to allow for a red sign throughout the districts, which is consistent with the Do wntown Master Sign Plan. Staff is proposing two type s of signage to acknowledge the different types o f districts in Geo rgeto wn. In addition to the local Overlay Districts, the City of Georgetown has four National Register of Historic Places Historic Distric ts. Each district will have signs po sted at the entrance to the district, recognizing the co ntributions of tho se districts to the history of the United States. The propo sed signs will enhance the community's efforts to promote our historic reso urces and build upon our strong heritage tourism pro grams. Staff presented an initial design to the City Council in January of 2 01 5 and received direction to develo p so me design options. Following a review o f several designs, staff selected two to present to City Council fo r their review. The following Exhibits are included for your revie w: Exhibit 1 – Reco mmended Street Signs The recomme nded blade signs will replace the existing pole mounted signs at each intersectio n in the Downto wn and Old To wn Overlay Districts. Staff selected the archite c tural detail design as their primary choice , with the poppy design as an alternate.The City of Georgetown is home to one of the largest co llection of Mesker Bro s. metal storefronts, which incorporate a crest or shell design in the co lumns and co rnice line s. Examples of this design include the Geo rge to wn Art Center, the Dimmit Building, the H.C. Craig Building and the M.B. Lockett building. The propo sed design pays tribute to the unique architectural heritage o f our co mmunity. Exhibit 2 – Alte rnative Street Signs The P oppy design is included as an alternative optio n for the blade signs. Exhibit 3 – Williamson County Courthouse Natio nal Register District Signs The propo sed sign will mark the entrances to the Williamson County Co urthouse National Register Distric t, which includes approximately 12 blocks aro und the Square. Exhibit 4 – Residential National Register Distric t Signs These signs are pro posed to mark the e ntrances to the 3 residential National Register Districts. The design reflects the Belford District, but the signs will also be used for the Olive Street District and the University – Elm Distric t. The maps of the current Downto wn and Old Town Overlay Districts and the Natio nal Registe r Districts are included for review as Exhibits 5 and 6. FINANCIAL IMPACT: $ 34,700 is budgete d in account #120 9-0280-90 -05 4 and 20 1 5-0208-52-200. Anothe r $5 ,00 0 will be taken from the TIRZ maintenance ac count 120-9-0280-90-050, if the council should approve this pro ject mo ving forward.
