Policy Development/Review Workshop – Call to order at 3:00 PM
A. Overview presentation and discussion of the City’s Debt Program -- Leigh Wallace, Finance Director
Leigh Wallace, the City’s Finance Director, provided a presentation and discussion on the City’s Debt
Program. She began the presentation with a description of debt policies. Wallace said that she wanted
Council to be aware and comfortable with the debt process, debt policies and the current debt held by the
City.
Wallace described the Types of Debt next.
Page 8 of 426
Wallace provided a slide of current bond ratings. She explained that the City has excellent bond ratings.
Wallace spoke on the current tax rate and the debt coverage ratio, which the agencies look at closely.
Page 9 of 426
Wallace provided charts and graphs of the current tax obligations, the historical GO/CO debt payments, the
current utility revenue obligations, the historical utility revenue obligations, the debt per capita, the debt per
customer and the historical assets net of debt.
Wallace explained that the growth in blue shows major projects approved by the voters. She said that utility
revenue obligations such as electric and water tend to fluctuate and the size can vary greatly from one year
to another.
Wallace noted that the debt per capita increased somewhat over 10 years, mainly in 2012, from obligation
bond projects. She noted that the acquisition of Chisholm Trail is also significant in these fluctuations.
Wallace also noted the increase in assets over the last 10 years and explained that assets increase with
capital project completions.
Page 10 of 426
Page 11 of 426
Page 12 of 426
Wallace spoke on the FY2017 Proposed Debt. She noted that the Garey Park impact will be spread over 2
years and that the Downtown West and Transfer Station Pond have been added since the budget adoption.
She spoke of the Council feedback directing the $13 million dollar project. Wallace said that $5.7 million
dollars will need to be issued, after monies from City building sales is looked at. Wallace also noted that the
electric fun is included, as discussed and approved by Council.
Page 13 of 426
Paul Diaz, the Budget Manager, spoke on how this will affect the tax rate over the next five years. He
provided a tax impact analysis slide, a slide depicting how the model works and two slides showing the five
year CIP. He explained that the Five Year CIP charts include Garey Park, San Gabriel Park, Downtown
West and Transportation Initiatives.
Page 14 of 426
Page 15 of 426
Diaz described assumptions with the model.
• Short term growth will continue with more moderate growth in the out years (based on statewide
sales tax information, development pipeline, and Dallas fed report in January)
• The ratio of frozen to non-frozen assessed value will continue to hold at a two to one ratio
• New assessed value is set at $200 million annually
• Every $1 million of debt requires around $70,000 of debt service
Diaz next provided a Forecast of I &S Tax Impact in Cents. He explained that there was a 12% increase in
sales tax in Georgetown from 2015 to 2016. Diaz cautioned that other cities are not seeing this and
Georgetown would want to be conservative in their approach.
Diaz said that there are several tools that staff uses to keep the overall tax rate low. He noted that if sales
tax increases, the overall tax rate and base can be sufficient to absorb the debt impact.
Page 16 of 426
Leigh Wallace provided the takeaways from the presentation.
• City’s debt has increased over the past decade
• Correlates to population growth and voter approved projects to improve services and the quality of
life
• City has excellent credit ratings
• Economic conditions and fiscal management ensure ability to pay debt
• Current economic forecast shows assessed value will cover tax rate for debt
Wallace described the next steps.
• February 28 Council Agenda – authorize financial advisors to proceed with bond sale schedule and
documents and approve a notice of intent to issue certificates of obligation.
• March 2017 – offering statements reviewed by staff and a staff meeting with the bond rating agency
Mayor Ross thanked Wallace for the presentation. Ross asked the Council if they had any questions. No
questions were posed.
B. Presentation and discussion of the CAMPO/City of Georgetown Williams Drive Study -- Nathaniel
Waggoner, AICP, PMP, Transportation Analyst, Jordan Maddox, AICP, Principal Planner, and Andreina
Dávila-Quintero, Project Coordinator
Nathaniel Waggoner, Transportation Analyst, provided a presentation and discussion on the CAMPO and
City sponsored Williams Drive Study. Waggoner recognized Jordan Maddox, Principal Planner, and
Andreina Davila-Quintero, Project Coordinator, who have also worked on the project. Waggoner said the
presentation would include the purpose and goals of the project, progress to date, primary issues that have
been identified, project timelines and next steps. Waggoner said the feedback needed from the City
Council would be concurrence with the primary issues identified, concurrence with the next steps and any
additional opportunities suggested to engage stakeholders.
Page 17 of 426
Waggoner said he is proud of the public outreach, which has been by phone, email and social media. He
explained that nearly 33,000 people have been reached and there were over 100 attendees at the first open
house.
Waggoner spoke on the primary issues with the study. He said these are across five different categories
and he will be showing possible solutions later in the presentation. The categories mentioned included:
• Traffic congestion and circulation
• Traffic operations and safety
• Redevelopment and reinvestment barriers
• Aesthetic enhancements
• Pedestrian and bicycle improvements
Councilmember Fought said Williams Drive is a motor vehicle transit drive and pedestrians and bicycles
might be a problem. He noted the City must look at improving the motor vehicle safety and efficiency and
there would be better ways to serve bicyclists and pedestrians.
Councilmember Hesser said he is receiving feedback from merchants who do not feel like they are being
heard. He explained that they feel as if everything has been predetermined. Hesser said he wants to know
what has been suggested and if these suggestions are feasible or not. Waggoner said all comments and
suggestions have been logged and all are possible solutions. He noted that no suggestion or comment has
been ignored. Waggoner said if there are merchants who have not had the opportunity to meet, he will be
happy to be available to them. Waggoner explained that the desire is to capture all comments and
solutions. Waggoner said he be will sharing the solutions and suggestions with Council in the near future.
Hesser noted that if the City does a good job with the study and growth, there should not be traffic issues.
Hesser said he has been researching converging diamonds. He said that he found an organization, an
engineering firm, which shows a list of converging diamonds - 81 in the Country. He said that most have
two open ends on both sides and only one converging diamond, in St. George Utah, compares to the one
proposed in Georgetown. Hesser explained that if there is a stop sign at the end, the road will still clog up.
He said he wants to know what would happen at Austin Avenue to prevent this.
Mayor Ross said this would be brought to Council in the future and no decisions have been made. Ross
said perceptions might be that decisions have been made, but they have not. Waggoner said there is much
more opportunity to meet with those with concerns.
Waggoner continued with the primary issues and provided charts with possible solutions. He explained that
Williams Drive was originally built to rural standards, but now has urban traffic.
Page 18 of 426
Page 19 of 426
Councilmember Brainard asked Waggoner if the City owns all of Williams Drive. Waggoner said the City
owns the portion out to Jim Hogg Road. Brainard asked why traffic signals have not been better
synchronized. Waggoner said they have been, but growth keeps changing the demands. Management of
the traffic, as now needed, has changed. City Manager, David Morgan explained that synchronizing has a
Page 20 of 426
fraction of drift on the timing. He explained that the ability to link through a centralized place would be an
advance that could be made. Morgan said the City anticipates that this would be a major short term solution
to improved traffic on Williams Drive.
Mayor Ross asked about the 150 curb cuts. Waggoner said there would be split curb cuts in the future and
strategy to create shared access in the new developments.
Morgan said both the amount of curb cuts and the locations will be improved.
Waggoner provided a Project Timeline.
Waggoner spoke on the next steps.
Page 21 of 426
Waggoner asked the Council if they concurred with the primary issues identified and the next steps. He said
he would also ask them for any additional opportunities to engage with the public.
Waggoner said there is a willingness to engage the public and provided links where information and
comments and concerns are collected.
https://transportation.georgetown.org/williams-drive/
http://wikimapping.com/wikimap/Williams-Drive-Study.html
Councilmember Brainard asked if traffic circles or roundabouts are being considered. Jim Briggs, General
Manager of Utilities, came forward to discuss. Briggs said there will be traffic circles in the City but they
would not be an effective use on Williams Drive. Briggs said there will be one utilized on Rivery Road. He
explained that these are being visited by the Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board (GTAB). Brainard
asked if there are areas on Williams Drive that could have an additional lane added. Briggs confirmed that
this could happen in certain areas. Briggs noted that DB Wood was originally built to mitigate an earlier
Campo plan that indicated Williams Drive as 8 or 9 lanes across. He explained that Williams Drive is
geographically disconnected because of the lake. Briggs said there are other solutions to moving traffic.
City Manager, David Morgan, added that Williams Drive has areas that the City does not have right of way
and thus it is difficult to be able to expand.
Mayor Ross confirmed to Waggoner that staff is on the right track.
C. Update on Unified Development Code amendment process and presentation of recommendations from the
Unified Development Code Advisory Committee and Planning and Zoning Commission -- Sofia Nelson,
CNU-A, Planning Director
Sofia Nelson, Planning Director, spoke on the Unified Development Code amendment process and provided
a presentation of recommendations from the Unified Development Code Advisory Committee and the
Planning & Zoning Commission. She noted that the Council has received a number of these presentations
and this will be one of the last brought before Council for action at the regular City Council meeting to be
held that evening.
Nelson said she would be discussing a recap of action taken, an update on direction given at the November
26, 2016 workshop, next steps and questions and direction from Council
Nelson provided slides of the process recap.
Page 22 of 426
Page 23 of 426
Nelson provided a summary of process.
Nelson spoke on the discussion points of the October and November 2016 workshops.
• Development Plats
• Specify types of trees permitted as street trees
• Examine appeal process for connectivity variances
• Connectivity challenges of existing neighborhoods
Nelson said that staff is pulling back on the Development Plats portion in order to put in further work.
Nelson spoke on street trees and provided on optional street tree section slide and a slide showing the
approved street tree species.
Page 24 of 426
Nelson explained that sometimes approved trees are selected correctly, but then not enough right of way
space is reserved for the tree to develop. This is why the City has established choices that a developer
may choose from in an effort to eliminate these issues.
Nelson said that Council had previously asked if there are trees whose roots can penetrate down instead of
spreading. She said that the City’s Arborist, Heather Brewer, was present for any questions.
Councilmember Brainard asked if the tree list had changed. Brewer said it is now a smaller list. She
explained that trees with low arches and trees that have nuts have been eliminated from the list. These are
on the preferred plan list and the number of trees to choose from has been reduced. Brewer explained that
the root barrier system has been examined for all trees on this list and a list of tap root systems does not
exist here. Councilmember Hesser said this would not eliminate root problems. Brewer said the space
required is what eliminates the issue. Councilmember Gipson asked about the species in Georgetown
Village. Brewer noted that trees had been planted there without the distance requirements. City Manager,
David Morgan, explained the sidewalk construction and how that standard will now illuminate root structure
problems.
Mayor Ross asked if this goes against the normal growth pattern of the tree. Brewer said the trees will have
organic matter and an infrastructure of water, etc. that encourages a different growth.
Councilmember Gipson asked how it will be addressed, if these trees don’t work and what would be the next
step. Brewer said the required distance is the key.
Brainard asked about Bartlett Pear trees. Brewer said they are not a desirable long term tree because of
poor growth habits.
Sofia Nelson, Planning Director, continued with the UDC presentation and spoke on connectivity challenges
in existing neighborhoods. She discussed proposed connectivity tools.
• Retain link to node
• Distinguish between actual connections and future connections
• Measure intersection spacing in lieu of block length
• Calculate required connections based on accumulated lots vs. subdivision lots
• Require pedestrian connections and mid-block connections for long blocks and cul-de-sacs
Nelson provided a slide showing Actual Connections in comparison with Future Connections
Page 25 of 426
Nelson provided a slide showing actual minimum street connection requirements for existing major streets
and minimum connection requirements for future streets. She spoke on providing a new street connection
formula to ensure adequate existing connections and future connectivity.
Nelson spoke briefly on the variance process for connectivity requirements. She explained that Council had
previously asked if a variance could allow a super majority vote from Council. Nelson said the variance is
reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commissions and would only come to Council if the applicant wants to
appeal the Planning & Zoning Commission’s decision.
Nelson spoke on developments and water bodies blocking connections. She said these have been
structured to be flexible and to be allowed to receive public hearing.
Nelson described the Next Steps

This Contract is made pursuant to Texas Election Code Sections 31.092 and 271.002 and Texas Education Code
Section 11.0581 for a joint election to be held on the uniform election date of May 6, 2017, and administered by Christopher

iVotronic/M100/M650 Voting System (Version 3.0.1.1), which has been duly approved by the Secretary of State pursuant
to Texas Election Code Chapter 122 as amended, and is compliant with the accessibility requirements for persons with

electronic voting system, to compensate Williamson County for such use, and to share in certain other expenses connected
with joint elections, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapters 31 and 271 of the Texas Election Code, as
amended, and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, and benefits to the parties, IT IS
AGREED, as follows:
I. ADMINISTRATION
The Participating Authorities agree to hold a “Joint Election” with Williamson County and each other in accordance
with Chapter 271 of the Texas Election Code and this Contract. The Elections Administrator shall coordinate, supervise,
and handle all aspects of administering the Joint Election as provided in this Contract. Each Participating Authority agrees
to pay the Elections Administrator for equipment, programming, election personnel, supplies, services, and administrative
costs as provided in this Contract. The Elections Administrator shall serve as the Election Officer for the Joint Election;
however, each Participating Authority shall remain responsible for the decisions and actions of its officers necessary for the
lawful conduct of its election. The Elections Administrator shall provide advisory services in connection with decisions to be
made and actions to be taken by the officers of each Participating Authority as necessary.
It is understood that other political subdivisions and districts may wish to participate in the use of Williamson
County’s electronic voting system and polling places, and it is agreed that the Elections Administrator may enter into other
contracts for election services for those purposes, on terms and conditions generally similar to those set forth in this
Contract. In such cases, costs shall be pro-rated among the participants according to Section XII of this Contract.
II. LEGAL DOCUMENTS

election orders, resolutions, notices, and any other pertinent documents required by the Texas Election Code and/or the
Participating Authority’s governing body, charter, or ordinances, except that the Elections Administrator shall be responsible
for the preparation and publication of all voting equipment testing notices that are required by the Texas Election Code.

time to cure or obtain adequate assurance that any such problems or deficiencies will be timely addressed and corrected.
The Participating Authority’s failure to cure problems or deficiencies related to its obligations, duties, and
responsibilities in accordance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement will be considered in any future
contracts with Elections Administrator or Williamson County, and any Participating Authority failing to perform
will reimburse Elections Administrator for any additional costs and expenses to Williamson County, including all
costs associated with interference of conducting the election.

entrance to any previous polling places in the jurisdiction stating that the polling location has changed and listing the
Participating Authority’s polling place names and addresses in effect for the May 6, 2017 election. This notice shall be
written in both the English and Spanish languages.
V. ELECTION JUDGES, CLERKS, AND OTHER ELECTION PERSONNEL
The Elections Administrator will recruit all election workers.
The Elections Administrator will take the necessary steps to insure that all election judges appointed for the Joint
Election are eligible to serve and meet the eligibility requirements in Subchapter C of Chapter 32 of the Texas Election Code
and meet any requirements to serve as an Election Worker set forth by the Williamson County Commissioners Court.
The Elections Administrator shall arrange for the training and compensation of all election judges, clerks, and
election personnel. The Elections Administrator shall arrange for the date, time, and place for the presiding election judges
to pick up their election supplies. As set forth in Sec. 32.009 of the Texas Election Code, each presiding election judge and

conducting all required testing of the electronic equipment, as required by Chapters 127 and 129 of the Texas Election
Code.
Joint participants shall share voting equipment and supplies to the extent possible. A single ballot containing all the
offices or propositions stating measures to be voted on at a particular polling place may be used in a joint election. A voter

responsible for proofreading and approving the ballot insofar as it pertains to that authority’s candidates and/or propositions.
Each Participating Authority shall also be responsible for proofing and approving the audio recording of the ballot insofar as
it pertains to that authority’s candidates and/or propositions.
In the event a Participating Authority identifies an error after approval of their respective ballot proof(s), and any
programming and/or audio files require changes, the Participating Authority approving the original ballot and audio proof
will be responsible for the full cost of reprogramming, if required. This will include the cost of reprogramming ballot language
and/or audio files for other Participating Authorities as necessary due to software limitations.
Early Voting by Personal Appearance and/or the use of Vote Centers, Texas Election Code Section 43.007, on
Election Day shall be conducted exclusively on Williamson County’s iVotronic electronic voting system. Provisional ballots
will be cast on paper ballots.

system equipment for the election as required by the Election Code.

X. PARTICIPATING AUTHORITIES WITH TERRITORY OUTSIDE WILLIAMSON COUNTY
Williamson County Elections will consider conducting elections in territories outside of Williamson County on a case-

XII. ELECTION EXPENSES AND ALLOCATION OF COSTS
Charges. In consideration for the joint election services provided hereunder by the Elections Administrator, the
Participating Authorities will be charged a share of election costs, an administrative fee, and for the lease of voting
equipment.
1. Share of Election Costs. Each Participating Authority’s share of election costs will be (i) a base fee of
$1,000.00, (ii) plus a pro rata share of the total of all costs incurred by the Elections Administrator in
connection with the administration of elections of other entities held at the same time as the election. The
sum of the base charges from all Participating Authorities will be subtracted from the total of all costs before
allocating the remaining costs to each Participating Authority. Each Participating Authority’s share of the
remaining (allocated) costs will be determined as follows: The number of registered voters in each
individual Participating Authority will be divided by the number of all registered voters of all Participating
Authorities to determine each entity’s pro rata share expressed as a percentage, which will then be
multiplied against each of the allocated costs (remaining costs after base charges are subtracted) as
itemized on the final Total Cost report/invoice submitted to each Participating Authority after the election.
Page 51 of 426
Rev 01.17.2017 6 May 6, 2017
The end result will be a charge to the Participating Authority of $1,000.00 plus the Participating Authority’s
allocated share of county-wide election costs not covered by the sum of all base fees received.
2. Lease of Voting Equipment. Per Texas Election Code Section 123.032(d), the Williamson County
Commissioners Court has established the following prices for leasing county-owned voting equipment:
• $309.50 per ADA iVotronic DRE;
• $250.00 per iVotronic DRE;
• $85.00 per iVotronic printer;
• $274.43 per electronic pollbook
The Participating Authority’s share of voting equipment costs will be determined on a pro rata basis. Leasing
cost will be calculated once for the Early Voting period and once for Election Day. If the County acquires
additional equipment, different voting equipment, or upgrades existing equipment during the term of this
Contract, the charge for the use of the equipment may be reset by the Williamson County Commissioners
Court.
3. Administrative Fee. Each Participating Authority agrees to pay the Williamson County Elections
Administrator an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of its total billable costs in accordance with
Section 31.100(d) of the Texas Election Code.
The Elections Administrator shall deposit all funds payable under this Contract into the appropriate fund(s) within
the Williamson County treasury in accordance with Election Code Section 31.100.

Election as authorized by Section 271.010 of the Texas Election Code.
Access to the election records shall be available to each Participating Authority as well as to the public in accordance
with applicable provisions of the Texas Election Code and the Texas Public Information Act. The election records shall be

open records request, the Elections Administrator shall maintain the records until final resolution or until final judgment,
whichever is applicable. It is the responsibility of each Participating Authority to bring to the attention of the Elections
Administrator any notice of pending election contest, investigation, litigation or open records request which may be filed with
the Participating Authority.

A recount may be obtained as provided by Title 13 of the Texas Election Code. By signing this document, the
presiding officer of the contracting Participating Authority agrees that any recount shall take place at the offices of the
Elections Administrator or at a location of the Elections Administrator’s choosing, and that the Elections Administrator shall
serve as Recount Supervisor and the Participating Authority’s official or employee who performs the duties of a secretary
under the Texas Election Code shall serve as Recount Coordinator.

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
1. The Elections Administrator shall file copies of this document with the Williamson County Treasurer and

2. Nothing in this Contract prevents any party from taking appropriate legal action against any other party
and/or other election personnel for a breach of this Contract or a violation of the Texas Election Code.
3. This Contract shall be construed under and in accord with the laws of the State of Texas, and all obligations
of the parties created hereunder are performable in Williamson County, Texas.
4. In the event that one of more of the provisions contained in this Contract shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision hereof and this Contract shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein.
5. All parties shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and codes of the State of Texas, all local
governments, and any other entities with local jurisdiction.
6. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Contract shall not operate as or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
7. Any amendments of this Contract shall be of no effect unless in writing and signed by all parties hereto.
8. Participating Authority agrees to act in good faith in the performance of this agreement, and shall
immediately contact and notify the Elections Administrator of any potential problems or issues relevant to
the subject matter of this contract.
XVII. COST ESTIMATES AND DEPOSIT OF FUNDS
The total estimated cost for the May 6, 2017 election is $250,000.00 and is based partly on the cost of the May 9,
2015 joint general special election. After the final determination has been made of whom the Participating Authorities will
be and the Contracts are fully executed, the Elections Administrator shall provide each Participating Authority with an official
cost estimate. Each Participating Authority’s percent share of the estimated total cost is based on the number of registered
voters and further described in Section XII.1. of this Contract. Each Participating Authority agrees to pay the Williamson
County Elections Administrator a deposit of 50% of the estimated obligation no later than 15 days after receiving the official
cost estimate. As soon as reasonably possible after the election, the Elections Administrator will submit an itemized invoice
to each Participating Authority based on the actual expenses (supported by documentation such as time sheets,
compensation forms, and invoices) directly attributable to the services provided by the Elections Administrator. The exact
amount of each Participating Authority’s obligation under the terms of this Contract shall be calculated after the election (or
runoff election, if applicable); and, if the amount of an Authority’s total obligation exceeds the amount deposited, the authority
shall pay to the Elections Administrator the balance due within 30 days after the receipt of the final invoice from the Elections
Administrator. However, if the amount of the authority’s total obligation is less than the amount deposited, the Elections
Administrator shall refund to the authority the excess amount paid within 30 days after the final costs are calculated.

Speci al Projec ts G rant for a second year of fundi ng fo r the Library’s Communi ty Reso urces Coordi nator position -
- Eric P Lashle y, Library Services Director
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission uses federal funding from the Institute o f Museum and Library
Services to fund libraries that have special projec ts that target populations with spe c ial needs.
In the past, the Georgetown Public Library has been award 3 years o f funding for our bookmobile service through the
Texas State Library and Archives Commission’s Special P rojects grant.
The goal of the Geo rgeto wn P ublic Library is to se c ure a grant of $75,000 (no matc hing funds required) for the se c ond
year of funding our Co mmunity Re so urces Coordinator po sition who partners with area nonpro fit organizations to se rve
seniors, residents with limited mobility, and low inc ome families.
A mission o f the Georgetown P ublic Library is to pro vide open and equal access to informatio n. Over the last few years,
the library has seen a dramatic increase in residents coming to the library for information for so cial services. Both the
2011 Advantage Initiative Community Survey in Georgetown report and the 2 01 5 Geo rge to wn Health Foundatio n’s
Southeast Geo rgetown Needs Assessment call for a po sition such as the Community Resources Coo rdinator to
coordinate info rmation between nonprofit organizatio ns and the community.
Our Co mmunity Resources Co ordinator partners with key nonprofit organizations (Caring P lace, Ge orgetown Proje c t,
Georgetown Health Foundatio n, Family Elde rcare, Loan Star Circle o f Care, and Williamson County Health Departme nt)
to guide reside nts to needed services. The library’s facilities are used to host community outreach events.
Georgetown’s senior population is projected to continue to grow in the next 10 years. Ge orgetown has one of the
highest percentage of seniors in the State of Texas. With a large senior population, the City will see an inc re ase in the
number of disabled residents. As residents age, there will be greater needs in the community for social services and the
library is in a unique po sition to help provided specialized info rmation to these reside nts.

emergency has cleared.
SECTION 2. PRICING
Pricing and amounts proposed shall remain valid for 30 days unless otherwise specified. Price includes
only the material listed based on Convergint’s interpretation of plans and specifications unless noted

and
d. That the Work will conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
The Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty is that Convergint shall remove, replace
and/or repair at its own expense any defective or improper Work, discovered within the Warranty
Period, provided Convergint is notified in writing of any defect within the Warranty Period.
Any equipment or products installed by Convergint in the course of performing the Work hereunder
shall only carry such warranty as is provided by the manufacturer thereof, which Convergint hereby
assigns to Customer without recourse to Convergint. Upon request of Customer, Convergint will use
all reasonable efforts to assist Customer in enforcing any such third party warranties. This warranty
excludes remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, modifications not executed by Convergint,
improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear under normal usage.

OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO CONVERGINT.

but are not intended to be guarantees or insurers against any acts for which they are supposed to
monitor or inform. As required by the monitoring and intrusion industry and the manufacturers

the extent the loss indemnified against is caused by any monitoring or intrusion product or
software provided by but not manufactured by Convergint. Convergint shall have no liability to
Customer for any losses to the extent such losses are caused by the monitoring or intrusion product
or software. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Convergint, from and against

stop the Work at that facility if such hazardous materials, or unsafe working conditions were not
provided by or caused by Convergint. Convergint in its sole discretion shall determine when it is “saf e”
to return to perform the Work at Customer’s facility. Convergint shall have no responsibility for the
discovery, presence, handling, removing or disposal of or exposure of persons to hazardous materials

File No: REZ‐2016‐032
Project Planner: Carolyn Horner, AICP, Planner
Item Details
Project Name: Davidson Ranch
Project Address: 2321 Southwestern Blvd.
Total Acreage: 61.85 acres
Legal Description: 61.85 acres out of the W. Addison Survey
Existing Zoning: Agriculture (AG)
Proposed Zoning: Single‐family Residential (RS) and
Two-family (TF)
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the undeveloped 61.85 acre tract from the Agriculture
(AG) District to the Residential Single‐family (RS) and Two‐family (TF) Districts to allow for
future residential development of the property. The applicant is proposing several housing
styles within the overall development.
Site Information
Location:
The subject site is located on Southwestern Boulevard, south of Raintree Drive, and extends
north to University Park Drive and Churchill Farms Drive, in the southeastern portion of the city.
Physical Characteristics:
The property is mostly undeveloped with some tree coverage and a few agriculture‐related
buildings. Public street access is on Southwestern Boulevard. Six existing stubs from neighboring
developments provide connectivity.
Surrounding Properties:

Property History
The 61.85‐acre property was annexed into the City on December 9, 2008 by Ordinance 2008‐86.
The AG District is the default zoning district assigned at time of annexation. The property is
currently undeveloped.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site is Moderate Density Residential. The
Moderate Density Residential category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as comprising
single family neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density ranging between 3.1 and 6
dwelling units per gross acre, with housing types including small lot detached and attached
single‐family dwellings (such as townhomes).
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B, the area within the present city limits, or
subject to a development agreement, surrounding Tier 1A that is generally underserved by
infrastructure and where such service and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth
needs of the city once Tier 1A approaches build‐out.
Transportation
The development’s main access will be from Southwestern Boulevard. The development will
extend six existing stubs into the property (Churchill Farms Dr., Summercrest Blvd., University
Park Dr., Short St., Howry Dr., and Jan Lane) and provide stubs into the adjacent property to the
south for future connectivity. Unified Development Code Section 12.03.030.A requires that “all
proposed streets shall be continuous and connect to existing, platted or planned streets without
offset”. By extending these stubs, the proposed development will provide direct access to
Southwestern Boulevard, University Avenue and SE Inner Loop.
A TIA will be submitted by the applicant for review, and will be completed prior to approval of
the associated Preliminary Plat.
Utilities
Water/wastewater is served by the City of Georgetown. Electric service is provided by City of
Georgetown. The Development Engineer has determined there is adequate capacity for
development, pending completion of a Utility Evaluation as submitted by the applicant.
Proposed Zoning District
The RS District is intended for areas of medium density with a minimum lot size of 5,500 square
feet. The RS District contains standards for development that maintain Single‐family
neighborhood characteristics. The District may be located within proximity of neighborhood‐
friendly commercial and public services and protected from incompatible uses. All housing
Page 147 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Davidson Ranch rezoning
AG to RS and TF Page 3 of 6
types in the RS District shall meet the lot, dimensional and design standards of the District. (See
attached).
The Two‐family District (TF) is intended for Two‐family dwellings that are located on one lot.
The TF District also allows Single‐family attached and Single‐family detached development and
associated uses. Two‐family and Single‐family dwellings are permitted on individual lots, but
the lot, dimensional and design standards are intended for two dwellings in one structure on a
single lot. The TF District is a moderate density District that may be used to separate residential
areas zoned RE, RL, or RS from higher density residential and commercial areas. (See attached).
Staff Analysis
The subject property is located within the Future Land Use category of Moderate Density
Residential that encourages a mixture of residential types. The first land use goal of the 2030 Plan
encourages a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and employment uses to reflect a gradual
transition of development throughout the city. The proposed development will provide a mix of
housing types similar to existing residential types in the adjacent subdivisions. The extension of
existing stub streets through this subdivision will provide new connectivity to the existing
arterial roadway.
Page 148 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Davidson Ranch rezoning
AG to RS and TF Page 4 of 6
The TF Zoning District is a moderate density district. The zoning category allows attached and
detached single family dwelling units, and two‐family units. The TF district would allow
development similar to the duplex development in the adjacent Raintree neighborhood to the
north. This area will be closer to the non‐residential areas along Southwestern Blvd. Raintree was
annexed into the City of Georgetown after construction, and was assigned Agriculture zoning at
that time. The existing single and two‐family development in the neighborhood has not been
rezoned since that time.
The RS District zoning is a moderate density district. The zoning category contains standards for
single‐family neighborhoods and characteristics. The area proposed for RS zoning would allow
development similar to the adjacent Highcrest Meadow, Summercrest, and University Park
subdivisions.
The proposed development will provide connections between several existing residential
neighborhoods. These new connections will provide alternative travel options for commuters,
with access to Southwestern Blvd, University Avenue, and SE Inner Loop.
The proposed rezoning request meets all of the criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for
zoning changes:

General Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:

Comply Do Not
Comply
Approval Criteria for Rezoning
X
The application is complete
and the information
contained within the
application is sufficient and
correct enough to allow
adequate review and final
action
An application must provide the necessary
information to review and make a knowledgeable
decision in order for staff to schedule an application
for consideration by P&Z and City Council. This
application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be
complete.
X
The zoning change is
consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The
request is consistent with the goal to maintain and
strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g.,
stable neighborhoods, economically sound commercial
and employment areas, etc.), and the density goals of
the moderate density residential category of the future
land use plan.
X
The zoning change
promotes the health, safety
or general welfare of the
City and the safe orderly,
and healthful development
of the City
The zoning change request promotes the health, safety
and general welfare of the City. The new connectivity
provided with the proposed development will provide
greater access to the existing arterial roadway network.
The two zoning districts proposed will continue the
orderly residential development of the area.
X
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 as it is laid out is compatible
with the surrounding zoning districts and uses.
X
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 RS and TF Districts are
suitable as proposed adjacent to the existing duplex
and single family developments in the area.

roadways of Southwestern Blvd., University Avenue and SE Inner Loop. These connections
will provide alternative routes to the residents in the neighborhoods.
2. The Future Land Use category of Moderate Density Residential supports the mix of single‐
family residential types proposed by the applicant. The applicant is proposing to provide
approximately 25% duplex/condo style (1 house/1 lot) and approximately 75% traditional
single family style residential units.
3. Goal 1 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“promote sound, sustainable, and compact development patterns with balanced land uses, a variety
of housing choices and well‐integrated transportation, public facilities, and open space amenities.”
The rezoning of this property to the RS and TF Districts for the future residential
development supports this goal by providing multiple housing choices and furthering the
transportation improvements in this area.
4. Goal 4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g., stable neighborhoods,
economically sound commercial and employment areas, etc.).” The rezoning of this property to
the RS and TF Districts for the future residential development supports this goal by
continuing the orderly development of neighborhoods in the area, and providing
appropriate standards for that development.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s zoning request based on the above‐mentioned
findings.
Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of
the subject property that are located within City limits were notified of the rezoning application
(126 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (January 1, 2017) and signs were posted on‐site. To date, staff has received one
written email in opposition and one letter in support of this request.

Subject: REZ‐2016‐032 adjoining owner comments, January 17, 2017
Dear Commissioners and Ms. Horner:
We object to and protest the proposed re‐zoning.
The proposed re‐zoning would harm our property value and would destroy a wooded lot which greatly enhances the
local environment and should be preserved as a park. There are numerous nearby parcels containing barren fields
which would be far better locations for the planned
development. We are strongly in favor of private property rights, but
that the rights of one person stop where those of another(s) begin.
This proposed re‐zoning would harm the value of our property and that of our neighbors by destroying an attractive
wooded lot which increases the value and desirability of our property. The closest wooded parks to our property are
Chautauqua and Blue Hole. It take many decades for nice trees to grow, so this lot would be an ideal location for a new
city park, something clearly lacking in this area of Georgetown and something which would enhance our property
values.
Is this message sufficient, or do you also need a paper form with signatures mailed or scanned?

File No: REZ‐2016‐036
Project Planner: Carolyn Horner, AICP, Planner
Item Details
Project Name: 150 Fairway Lane
Project Address: 150 Fairway Lane
Total Acreage: 5.0 acres
Legal Description: 5.0 acres out of the W. Roberts Survey
Existing Zoning: Agriculture (AG)
Proposed Zoning: Single‐family Residential (RS)
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone the undeveloped 5‐acre tract from the Agriculture
(AG) District to the Residential Single‐family (RS) District. The applicant is proposing to
provide additional rear yard depth to the existing lots to the south prior to the construction of
the new residential development to the north.
Site Information

The subject site is located on Fairway Lane. The 5‐acre tract will not be accessible by the pending
Hidden Oaks at Berry Creek subdivision, proposed along the northern property line.
Physical Characteristics:

AG to RS Page 2 of 4
Property History
The 5‐acre property was annexed into the City on December 13, 2011 by Ordinance 2011‐60. The
AG District is the default zoning district assigned at time of annexation. The property is currently
undeveloped.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site is Moderate Density Residential and Mixed
Use Commercial. The Moderate Density Residential category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan as comprising single family neighborhoods that can be accommodated at a density ranging
between 3.1 and 6 dwelling units per gross acre, with housing types including small lot detached
and attached single‐family dwellings (such as townhomes).
The Mixed Use Community category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as appropriate
for larger scale, creatively planned communities, where a mix of residential types and densities
are complemented by supporting retail and small to medium scale office development. This
category also encourages more compact, sustainable development patterns that reduce auto
trips, increase connectivity and encourage walking and use of transit.
Growth Tier:
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1B, the area within the present city limits, or
subject to a development agreement, surrounding Tier 1A that is generally underserved by
infrastructure and where such service and facilities will likely be needed to meet the growth
needs of the city once Tier 1A approaches build‐out.
Transportation
The subject property’s only access is from Fairway Lane. There are no new roads proposed, as
the owner does not plan on developing this small tract.
Utilities
Water/wastewater is served by the City of Georgetown. Electric service is provided by PEC. The
Development Engineer has determined there is adequate capacity for development.
Proposed Zoning District
The RS District is intended for areas of medium density with a minimum lot size of 5,500 square
feet. The RS District contains standards for development that maintain Single‐family
neighborhood characteristics. The District may be located within proximity of neighborhood‐
friendly commercial and public services and protected from incompatible uses. All housing
types in the RS District shall meet the lot, dimensional and design standards of the District. (See
attached).

AG to RS Page 3 of 4
Staff Analysis
The subject property is located within the Future Land Use categories of Moderate Density
Residential and Mixed Use Commercial. The first land use goal of the 2030 Plan encourages a
balanced mix of residential, commercial, and employment uses to reflect a gradual transition of
development throughout the city. The owner’s ultimate outcome is to provide deeper back yards
to the property owners adjacent to this tract on the south. The property alone has little
development potential and would need to be joined with adjacent properties as is proposed.
The proposed rezoning request meets all of the criteria established in UDC Section 3.06.030 for
zoning changes:
Comply Do Not
Comply
Approval Criteria for Rezoning
X
The application is complete
and the information contained
within the application is
sufficient and correct enough
to allow adequate review and
final action
An application must provide the necessary
information to review and make a knowledgeable
decision in order for staff to schedule an application
for consideration by P&Z and City Council. This
application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be
complete.
X
The zoning change is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The
request is consistent with the goal to maintain and
strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g.,
stable neighborhoods, economically sound commercial
and employment areas, etc.).
X
The zoning change promotes
the health, safety or general
welfare of the City and the safe
orderly, and healthful
development of the City
The zoning change request promotes the health, safety
and general welfare of the City. The undeveloped tract
will provide a buffer between the existing homes and
the proposed new residential subdivision to the north.
X
The zoning change is
compatible with the present
zoning and conforming uses of
nearby property and with the
character of the neighborhood
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts and uses. No
development is proposed with this rezoning request.
X
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 RS District are suitable
adjacent to the existing and proposed single family
developments in the area.

General Findings
Based on all the information presented, staff has made the following findings:
1. The Future Land Use supports the request of single‐family residential zoning proposed by
the applicant. The applicant is rezoning as the first step in an ultimate outcome of deeper
rear yards for the adjacent lots on St. Andrews Drive.
2. Goal 1 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“promote sound, sustainable, and compact development patterns with balanced land uses, a variety
of housing choices and well‐integrated transportation, public facilities, and open space amenities.”
The rezoning of this property to the RS District for the continued use of the adjacent Berry
Creek subdivision owners supports this goal.
3. Goal 4 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that the City should
“maintain and strengthen viable land uses and land use patterns (e.g., stable neighborhoods,
economically sound commercial and employment areas, etc.).” The rezoning of this property to
the RS District to match the existing and proposed residential development supports this
goal.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s zoning request based on the above‐mentioned
findings.
Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of
the subject property that are located within City limits were notified of the rezoning application
(14 notices mailed), a legal notice advertising the public hearing was placed in the Sun
Newspaper (January 1, 2017) and signs were posted on‐site. To date, staff has received two
written letters in support of this request.

Item Details
Project Name: Buffkin
Project Address: 4600 Williams Drive
Total Acreage: 7.52 acres
Legal Description: 7.52 acres out of 16.74 acres in the J.
Fish Survey
Existing Zoning: Office (OF)
Proposed Zoning: Local Commercial (C-1)
Future Land Use: Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center
and Low-Density Residential
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested to rezone a 7.5-acre portion of a 16+ acre tract at the intersection
of Wildwood Drive and Williams Drive from the Office (OF) District to the Local Commercial
(C-1) District to allow for a more cohesive commercial development of the 16-acre property.
The rezoning would allow for retail uses in addition to office uses and remove the office-only
zoning that has been in place and modified over the years.
Site Information
Location:
The property is located on the south side of
Williams Drive, between Wildwood Drive and
Cedar lake Drive, approximately one-quarter mile
west of the Shell/DB Woods intersection with
Williams Drive. It is adjacent to the Terraces of
Woodlake neighborhood. Apartments are
proposed across from Cedar Lake Blvd.
Physical Characteristics:
The 16-acre property is rectangular in shape and
has 2,000’ of frontage on Williams Drive. There are
trees on the site, most of which are located on the
7-acre area being rezoned. Site issues such as trees,
drainage, buffering and placement of future
structures will be handled during the subdvision
and site development phase of the project.

Property History
The property was originally part of a 34-acre parcel that was split with the construction of Cedar
Lake in 2014. This parcel was annexed into the City as two parts – the portion nearest Williams
Drive in 1995, and the portion adjacent the residential neighborhood in 2001. The zoning of the
property was also done over time.
• 2001: Ordinance 2001-78 rezoned 7.4 acres of the original 34-acre property adjacent to the
Woodlake neighborhood from Agriculture (AG) to a district known as Office and Service
Uses (aka RM-3). With the adoption of the Unified Development Code in 2003, RM-3
became the Office (OF) District.
• 2002: Ordinance 2002-04 rezoned the remainder of the 34 acres was rezoned from
Agriculture (AG) to Local Commercial (C-1).
• 2013: Ordinance 2013-28 rezoned the property again, adding 5 acres of (OF) Office.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this
subject site is Mixed Use Neighborhood Center. This
designation is intended for gateway commercial
areas into residential developments. Intended to
be “walk-to” centers, they provide limited retail
goods and services.
The City’s Future Land Use Plan targeted
Williams Drive as a commercial corridor
providing a mix of services to nearby residential
development. The Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Center land use envisioned high-density
residential mixed with destination retail, local-
serving personal services, civic use proximity,
Page 189 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Buffkin Rezoning
OF to C-1 Page 3 of 6
and small-scale office. This area of the corridor is planned for a mix of residential and retail. The
swath of Mixed-Use Neighborhood Center is a broad brush stroke, not intended to be parcel-
specific but to support cohesive development fronting on Williams Drive. Much of the property
is technically designated low-density residential but it part of the larger tract that supports the
mixed-use category.
Existing Infrastructure
The 16-acre property has frontage and access to Williams Drive, a 5-lane arterial, in addition to
direct access to Wildwood and Cedar Lake on its border. Driveway access to all three are
expected, depending on the type of uses and configuration of the ultimate site. Utilities are
served by the City of Georgetown and water, sewer, and electric are in place to serve the site.
Availability of capacity and connection is dependent on timing, end-users, and nearby
developments, issues that will be addressed later in the development process.
Proposed Zoning District
The Local Commercial District (C-1) is intended to
provide areas for commercial and retail activities
that primarily serve residential areas. Uses should
have pedestrian access to adjacent and nearby
residential areas, but are not appropriate along
residential streets or residential collectors. The
District is more appropriate along major and minor
thoroughfares and corridors.
Typical uses within this district are general retail,
personal services, restaurants, medical offices, etc.
Staff has included an exhibit with a comprehensive list
of C-1 District allowable uses and development
standards to compare to the OF District. Certain land
uses have specific design limitations to ensure
compatibility with the surrounding properties; for
example, in the C-1 District, the floor to area ratio of a
building cannot exceed 0.5 for certain land uses
specified in Attachment 5.
Staff Analysis
The first land use goal of the 2030 Plan encourages a balanced mix of residential, commercial,
and employment uses throughout the community. This property is positioned in an area with
successful adjacent retail, proposed high-density residential, existing and future single-family
residential, plus a nearby school. 16-acre parcels are becoming increasingly rare along the
corridor and lend themselves to a well-planned, cohesive commercial site. The Buffkin site has
Page 190 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Buffkin Rezoning
OF to C-1 Page 4 of 6
tremendous access to Williams and Wildwood, a signalized intersection, and is directly across
Wildwood from the HEB retail center, a regional destination. The Woodlake Neighborhood,
Lakeside project, underway now, and future Merritt apartment site provide a nucleus of
residential that need local services in addition to the existing regional retail activity.
The land uses and development standards allowed in the proposed C-1 District that would be
extended for the full 16 acres are compatible with the adjacent residential, including setbacks and
landscaping buffers between them. Access will be provided directly to Williams and the nearby
signal, not directly into the adjacent neighborhoods, consistent with existing retail development.
As residential development continues in this area, proximity to retail and services promotes
pedestrian activity and local vehicular trips, helping to mitigate transportation effects along the
corridor.
The City’s Retail Study, completed in 2016, notes that the Williams/DB Wood intersection is a
major destination retail location today and in the coming years. Residential growth in recent
years has enhanced market viability of this site to provide commercial activity that is needed to
sustain the current and future growth of the corridor.
The current zoning designation of Office was approved to buffer commercial uses on the balance
of the property. Over the years, the landowner and potential developers have tried to market the
property for office users and changed the configuration to make it more palatable for office
development. Extending the C-1 to the 7+ acres extends the same setback and buffer
requirements as (OF) Office, as well as the height limits and daytime activity. C-1 allows for retail
uses in addition to office uses and promotes better site development with internal circulation
instead of additional public streets.
Rezoning Criteria from the Unified Development Code:
Approval Criteria for Rezoning
The application is complete and the
information contained within the application
is sufficient and correct enough to allow
adequate review and final action
An application must provide the necessary
information to review and make a knowledgeable
decision in order for staff to schedule an application
for consideration by P&Z and City Council. This
application was reviewed by staff and deemed to be
complete.
The zoning change is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed zoning change is consistent with the
Future Land Use of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
The request is consistent with the goal to direct
commercial development primarily to “nodes” or
“corridors” where the pattern is established or
appropriate. The Mixed Use Neighborhood category
supports the C-1 District at this location since the
district’s allowed uses include neighborhood serving
businesses that would accommodate the existing and
future residential neighborhoods that are part of this

request.
The zoning change promotes the health,
safety or general welfare of the City and the
safe orderly, and healthful development of
the City
The zoning change request promotes the health,
safety and general welfare of the City. The C-1
District will help facilitate orderly commercial
development along a major arterial roadway.
Comprehensively planning the 16 acres promotes
good aesthetics, access, and open space.
The zoning change is compatible with the
present zoning and conforming uses of
nearby property and with the character of
the neighborhood
The proposed rezoning is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts and uses. Landscape
buffers will be required, per the UDC, where the
property abuts residential zoning.
The property to be rezoned is suitable for
uses permitted by the District that would be
applied by the proposed amendment.
The uses allowed in the C-1 District are suitable along
major arterials such as Williams Drive and compatible
with the other uses in C-1 nearby.
General 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 mix of uses
that have developed and are continuing to develop. The extension of C-1 to this 7-acre area
supports the balance of uses and will support the growing residential population in this
vicinity.
2. The uses and standards in C-1 are consistent with existing zoning and development
patterns in the area. The district is compatible with adjacent residential and the UDC
provides for setbacks and buffering to promote such compatibility.
3. The full C-1 zoning of the 16 acres provides end-user options for the developer and a more
flexible, comprehensive approach to site planning that ensures a better product.
4. The rezoning is consistent with the City’s Retail Study findings that additional retail
opportunities are needed to support the growing residential population in the corridor.
5. The other half of the original 34-acre commercial site has been rezoned (17 acres) for multi-
family apartment use. This site becoming retail and office provides the balanced land use
approach needed to support these residents.
6. The public infrastructure exists to serve this site. The existing roadway access provides for
good traffic circulation and potential retail uses should not have utility capacity issues.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the applicant’s zoning request based on the above-mentioned
findings.

City Council Regula r Meeting
February 14, 2017
SUBJECT:
Publ i c Heari ng and Fi rst Readi ng of an Ordinanc e amendi ng certain provisions o f the Uni fi ed Devel opment Code
(UDC) Chapters 2, 3 , 6, 7 , 9, 11-13, and 16 -- Sofia Nelso n, CNU-A, Planning Director (acti o n requi red)
ITEM SUMMARY:
This item is presented to the Council regarding propo sed amendments to Chapters 2, 3, 6, 7 , 9, 11, 12, 1 3 and 16 of the
Unified Development Code. The ame ndment language co mes forth with a full reco mmendation for approval from the
UDC Advisory Committe e on Oc to ber 12, 2 01 6, and the Planning and Zo ning Commissio n on January 17, 2017. City
Council received briefings on the proposed amendments at the October 25 th, November 22 nd and January 2 4th public
workshops.
The proposed amendments primarily pertain to infrastructure and subdivision require ments, with the stronge st emphasis
on transpo rtation. These amendments were carefully considere d over the last 16 months by City staff, local design
professionals, the UDC Co mmittee, and members of the general public. This collaborative effort intended to impleme nt
several City master plans, including the Overall Transpo rtation Plan 2014 Update, the Sidewalk Master Plan, Parks and
Trails Master P lan, ADA Transition Plan, and Downtown Master P lan. It also provided a unique opportunity for staff and
the development community to co nsider what has and has no t worked we ll sinc e the 2003 UDC Ado ption, when many of
these infrastructure provisions were last amended. Over the past year, the UDC Co mmittee has held public meetings to
debate the merits of eac h amendment, co nsider mo re research, refine the language, and remo ve ideas altogether, se e king
the best fit for Georgetown. The result has adde d choice, fle xibility and co ntext to many design standards, focuse d on
pedestrian safety and attractive streetscapes, placed greater emphasis o n the importance o f an interconnected stre e t
network to alleviate co ngestion, and charts a strong path fo r the future infrastructure ne e ds o f a growing community.
A summary of the pro posed amendments follows:
Chapter 2:
Chapter 2 is the re view autho rity chapter of the co de . Amendments include:
Tabl e 2.01.020 :
Removal o f the Access Point Connection Exe mptio n process
New Subdivision Variance replaces Plat Waive r and addresses some stormwate r provisio ns
Conservation Subdivision Site Analysis Map beco mes P lanning Director autho rity
Decision maker fo r Licenses to Encroach be c omes Development Engineer for easements
2.02.030 – Combine the ro le of Drainage Engineer into Development Engineer as the y are the same role.
Chapter 3:
Chapter 3 is primarily focuse d on develo pment applications and permits. Items from the UDC list that are addresse d with
these amendments include UDC Amendment List item #4 (plat exemptions) addressed in Sectio n 3.0 8; UDC Amendme nt
List item #5 (preliminary plat phasing) - not pursued in favor of other pro visions in Se c tion 3.0 8; and UDC Amendme nt
List item #6 (plat e xtensio ns and reinstatements) addressed in Section 3.08.090.
Secti on 3.01.0 30 Staff has had ongoing issues over the last c ouple of ye ars with application review that is premature due
to overlap o f application submittals. The propo sal is to split policy applications (those appro ved by City Council) with
technical applic atio ns (approved by P &Z or administratively).
Secti on 3.08.0 30 The certification regarding platting complianc e , which was previously located in letters o f regulatory
compliance, has be e n appro priately moved to this se ction immediately after Platting Exemptions section. Wording is
being updated to reflect actual purpose and proc e ss, which is to document whether a plat is required and if a property is
exempt from platting. Legal lot is one means of exemption.
Secti on 3.08.09 0 Plat e xtensio ns are propo sed to be reduced fro m 2 4 months to 6 months. P lats alre ady have built-in
extensions by phasing plans. The plat extension was adde d during the recessio n and has been used primarily by a single
party. Plat Reinstatements wo uld be deleted. Site Plan extensions and reinstatements re main as adopted.
Secti on 3.10 Letters of Regulatory Compliance - Legal lot is being moved fro m this section to the platting se c tion.
Section renamed to Zo ning Verification Letter.
Secti on 3.15 Clarificatio n of Zoning Verification name since we will now also have a Subdivision Variance process.
Page 207 of 426
Secti on 3.17 Clarificatio n that single and two-family structures over an acre o n a legal lot are exe mpt from a Stormwater
P ermit. This also pro tects them from Fire Code.
Secti on 3.19 Re named to Driveway Access Permit to co incide with earlie r process changes. Under applicability, added
that any alte ratio n of a public street curb or drainage facility requires Driveway Access Permit if not associated with
approved constructio n plans or building permit.
Secti on 3.21 Deve lo pment Engineer will now assume approval authority for licenses to encroach into a public easeme nt.
Encroachments into ROW remain Council authority. Also removing the requirement for a pre-application meeting fo r a
License to Encro ach.
Secti on 3.22 Plat Waiver process re named Subdivisio n Variance. P rocess is open to certain subdivision require ments
throughout the UDC, as stated in each section.
Chapter 6:
Chapter 6 is primarily the residential develo pment standards of the UDC. In co njunction with propo sed amendments to
Chapter 12, some sections in Chapters 6 needed to be amended to refle c t the intent of these c hanges. Additionally, so me
items within Chapter 6 needed to be moved or re wo rded and othe r sections reorganize d due to the changes. There was one
specified item in the UDC Amendment List - #18 (garage setbacks), which has been addressed in each residential zo ning
district table in 6.0 2. A summary of the changes to the Chapter are as follows:
Ti tl e - Simplified title to Reside ntial Development Standards - the chapte r represents both subdivisio n and zo ning
provisions.
6.01.030 - Cleane d up the applicability to clarify what applies in the ETJ and the city.
6.02.010 - Simplified the lot frontage and access requireme nts and removed or moved elsewhere some provisions that
did not belong he re .
6.02 (all tables) - each zo ning district table has be e n mo dified to add:
* a minimum c orner lot width
* a side/rear street setback
* an unloaded stre e t setback
* an increase from 20 feet to 25 feet for street-fac ing garage setback

Page 226 of 426
1. Extraordinary Conditions
That there are extraordinary or special conditions affecting the land involved such that strict
application of the provisions of this Unified Development Code will deprive the applicant of
the reasonable use of their land. For example, a Zoning Variance might be justified because
of topographic or other special conditions unique to the property and development
involved, while it would not be justified due to inconvenience or financial disadvantage.
2. No Substantial Detriment
That the granting of the Zoning Variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare or injurious to other property in the area or to the City in administering this
Code.
3. Other Property
That the conditions that create the need for the Zoning Variance do not generally apply to
other property in the vicinity.
4. Applicant’s Actions
That the conditions that create the need for the Zoning Variance are not the result of the
applicant’s own actions.
5. Comprehensive Plan
That the granting of the Zoning Variance would not substantially conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code.
6. Utilization
That because of the conditions that create the need for the Zoning Variance, the application
of this Code to the particular piece of property would effectively prohibit or unreasonably
restrict the utilization of the property.
7. Insufficient Findings
The following types of possible findings do not constitute sufficient grounds for granting a
Zoning Variance:
****
B. Limitations
The Zoning Board of Adjustment may not grant a Zoning Variance when the effect of which
would be any of the following:
****
C. Profitability Not to Be Considered
The fact that property may be utilized more profitably should a Zoning Variance be granted
may not be considered grounds for a Zoning Variance.
D. Limitation on Variances for Signs
No Variance for a sign may increase the overall permitted area of a sign. Sign‐related Variances
may only be granted, in accordance with this Section, for height or other location restrictions.
No Variance application(s) shall be accepted for prohibited signs listed in Section 10.04 (“Signs
Prohibited Under this Code”).

Chapter 12 Pedestrian and Vehicle Circulation
Section 12.01 General
12.01.010 Purpose
An integrated and interconnected vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle transportation network is essential
for the effective and reliable movement of people and goods. The standards in this Chapter ensure that
streets function in an interdependent manner, provide for accessibility and walkability, plan for
emergency services, and provide continuous and logical transportation routes. Streets shall be planned
and constructed so that their arrangement, size, character, and design is considered in relation to
existing and future streets, topography, public safety and convenience, and an appropriate relationship
with the built environment. The City’s Comprehensive Plan shall guide the location and functionality
of the transportation network.
12.01.020 Authority
The provisions of this Chapter are adopted pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Chapters 211
and 212, and the City Charter.
12.01.030 Applicability
A. The standards of this Chapter apply to development within the corporate limits and
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Georgetown.
B. No subdivision, Site Development Plan or Stormwater Permit shall be approved until
conformance to the standards of this Code are demonstrated.
C. All required transportation improvements shall be designed in accordance with this Code and as
detailed in the adopted Construction Specifications and Standards Manual (“Construction
Manual”), as amended, or any other adopted construction standards provided by the
Development Engineer. When the standards of this Code and the Construction Manual conflict,
the more stringent provision shall apply.
12.01.040 Subdivision Variance
A Subdivision Variance, pursuant to Section 3.22 of this Code, may be requested to the provisions of
this Chapter except Section 12.06, Design and Technical Standards, and 12.09, Traffic Impact Analysis.
Section 12.02 Comprehensive Plan Thoroughfares
Regional thoroughfares provide linkages within the community and throughout the region. The City’s
Comprehensive Plan includes an Overall Transportation Plan that is developed in conjunction with the
Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CAMPO) long‐range plan. Goals from the Overall
Transportation Plan include:
A. Improve the local street system, including new thoroughfare linkages to enhance connectivity,
improved and coordinated traffic signalization, and access management standards.
B. Provide a functional, integrated, multi‐modal transportation system with a variety of choices.
C. Reduce reliance on single‐occupant automobile traffic and enhance bicycle and pedestrian
mobility and accessibility by encouraging compact land use development.
Page 266 of 426
Page 2 of 24
D. Provide for a high degree of safety for motorists, transit users, pedestrians and bicyclists.
E. Discourage primary traffic routing through local streets.
F. Preserve right‐of‐way for future roadway development and expansion.
12.02.010 General
The precise alignment of thoroughfares included in the Overall Transportation Plan may be varied to
allow for locational adjustments that would increase the compatibility of the right‐of‐way with natural
or man‐made features such as steep slopes, waterways, wildlife habitats, historic structures, existing
development, or existing streets. In unique circumstances, at the discretion of the Director, the amount
of right‐of‐way expansion may be reduced to accommodate natural or man‐made features such as
steep slopes, waterways, wildlife habitats, historic structures, or existing development. Thoroughfares
that are located in the Downtown Overlay District and are constrained by historical patterns of
development may be considered on a case‐by‐case basis by the Director and may not conform to the
ultimate street sections identified in Table 12.02.030.
12.02.020 Developer Responsibilities
It is necessary and desirable to obtain right‐of‐way for the public street network to support the current
and future needs of the community. Developers share the responsibility of providing adequate streets
through compliance with the minimum standards governing internal and perimeter streets. The
developer shall be responsible for the dedication and improvement of internal and adjacent
comprehensive plan thoroughfares in accordance with the standards of the street classifications
described in this Section. The developer is responsible for all costs of materials, design, and
construction of the public improvements required by this Code.
A. The continuation of all existing streets and those included in the Overall Transportation Plan,
approved plat, concept plan, or other City‐approved document depicting a planned street shall
be provided by the developer.
B. Minimum right‐of‐way standards shall be in accordance with Table 12.02.030. If the thoroughfare
is a boundary street, one‐half of the balance between the street’s existing right‐of‐way and the
street/intersection right‐of way required shall be required per Table 12.02.030. Where the
thoroughfare is internal to the property, the full section of right‐of‐way shall be required.
C. In addition to the minimum right‐of‐way standards in Table 12.02.030, right‐of‐way reservation
may be required for thoroughfares expressly stated in the City’s Overall Transportation Plan.
Additionally, reservation could be required for County and State roadway plans that exceed the
City’s minimum right‐of‐way standards. The Development Engineer may also seek additional
right‐of‐way and/or easements for drainage, utilities, slopes, etc. necessary to facilitate the
construction of a roadway.
D. Improvements to comprehensive plan streets, in accordance with Section 12.09.030 (F), shall be
the responsibility of the developer unless otherwise provided. A developer is not responsible for
construction of any bridge structure at the boundary of the subdivision if the bridging of such a
street does not immediately connect to the network. A pro‐rata contribution towards the future
construction of the bridge may be required, as determined by a Traffic Impact Analysis.
E. There must be a rough proportionality between the traffic impacts created by a new development
and the associated mitigation requirements.

12.02.030 Comprehensive Plan Streets
The following table provides general standards for typical Comprehensive Plan regional
transportation facilities. All rights‐of‐way listed in the table are minimum dimensions and additional
right‐of‐way and/or easements may be required by the Development Engineer due to drainage,
utilities, or construction necessity. Street width dimensions are measured from back‐of‐curb to back‐of‐
curb and include travel lanes, bicycle lanes, and curb and gutter. Landscape lots and commercial
signage are prohibited within any part of the right‐of‐way of a comprehensive plan street or trail. Full
dimensional cross‐sections for each street classification and corridor‐specific alternatives can be found
in the Chapter 12 Appendix. Utility assignments can be found within the Construction Manual.

2. Right‐of‐way at intersections for Arterial streets are increased according to the table for a distance
of 200 feet from the right‐of‐way of the intersecting street.
3. Bicycle lanes can be combined with sidewalks into a Shared‐use Path at a minimum width of 10 feet
with Clear Zone separation to satisfy the requirements of both. Shared‐use paths in place of
dedicated bike lanes are encouraged on roadways with speeds over 40 mph.
Page 268 of 426
Page 4 of 24
4. The City may consider alternative striping on all comprehensive plan roadways to allow for on‐
street parking, narrower lane widths, alternative bike lane design, etc. whether in an interim or
permanent situation. In the event that the City adopts a specific street corridor design or overlay
that differs from the design standards in Section 12.02 and 12.03, any approved cross‐section(s)
associated with that street can be found in the Chapter 12 Appendix.
Section 12.03 Local and Neighborhood Streets
The neighborhood street network shall form an organized, connected pattern that defines the
community both functionally and visually. When possible, streets should be designed to respect
natural features and topography to reduce grading, promote pedestrian movement, and minimize
crossing of open space. In addition, streets should generally be short in length, include cross‐street
access, and incorporate traffic calming design elements to promote safety and discourage speeding.
Local and Neighborhood streets serve both residential and non‐residential uses.
12.03.010 Developer Responsibilities
The developer shall be responsible for the dedication and improvement of all local and neighborhood
streets in accordance with the standards of the street classifications described in the following section.
Where existing right‐of‐way does not meet the minimum standards, right‐of‐way shall be dedicated to
meet the minimum requirement. The developer shall provide for the continuation of all existing streets
and those included in the Overall Transportation Plan, approved plat, concept plan, or other City‐
approved document depicting a planned street. The developer is responsible for all costs of materials,
design, and construction of the public improvements required by this Code.
12.03.020 Public and Private Streets
All newly created streets shall be public streets, except for local streets serving non‐residential Multi‐
lot developments, described in Section 7.02.030, which can be privately owned and maintained. Private
streets in such situations shall be constructed to local street standards and include a street maintenance
agreement tied to the approved final plat. Private streets, if desired, may include fire‐approved gates to
limit access; public streets shall not be gated. Alleys shall be privately owned and maintained.
12.03.030 Local and Neighborhood Streets
The following table provides general standards for local and neighborhood streets. Average Daily
Trips (ADT) are utilized as a planning tool for a projected development, while Level of Service (LOS) is
used as a measurement of functioning roadway adequacy once the street is in operation. All rights‐of‐
way listed in the table are minimum dimensions and additional right‐of‐way and/or easements may be
required by the Development Engineer due to drainage, utilities, or construction necessity. Street width
dimensions are measured from back‐of‐curb to back‐of‐curb and include travel lanes, parking lanes,
and curb and gutter. Full dimensional cross‐sections for each street classification can be found in the
Chapter 12 Appendix and utility assignments can be found within the Construction Manual.

Table Notes
1. Local Streets vary in street width depending on curb type, in accordance with Section 12.06.E.
2. Residential Lanes require companion alleys to provide access to the lots fronting on the lane. Cut‐out
parallel parking for temporary loading and visitor parking is allowed with additional right‐of‐way.
3. Sidewalks in the Downtown Overlay shall follow width, materials, and standards in Section 12.04.030.B.
4. Sidewalk clear zone (separation from curb) varies by the size of tree wells described in Section 12.06.G.
5. Residential Collectors are subject to the driveway separation requirements pursuant to Section 12.08.
6. Neighborhood Collectors shall not have residential lots fronting on the street, nor permitted access to
residential lots. Only access to parkland, amenity centers, or common areas is permitted.
Section 12.04 Alternative Streets
Alternative street designs may be warranted at times when streets are located in areas that call for
contextual solutions based on density, land use, and pedestrian environment.
12.04.010 Residential Rural Estate Streets
A. Streets
Local Streets within a Residential Rural/Estate subdivision may be constructed to a 26‐foot street
width. Within the City’s designated fire service area, on‐street parking is restricted in accordance
with the adopted fire code. Rural/Estate streets located in the ETJ may be designed to 25 mph
speeds and constructed with a ribbon curb to allow for sheet flow or open‐ditch stormwater
Page 270 of 426
Page 6 of 24
drainage. Rural/Estate Streets in the ETJ require a stop condition every 1,500 feet which include,
but is not limited to, a stop or yield sign, roundabout, or other approved traffic‐calming measure.
B. Sidewalks
Sidewalks within Residential Rural/Estate subdivisions shall be constructed on both sides of all
collector‐level and higher‐classification streets, including perimeter Arterial streets. Sidewalks
may be located within a public utility easement and may meander in and out of the right‐of‐way.
Sidewalks within a Residential Rural/Estate subdivision shall be constructed at the time of street
improvements and shall not be deferred to the building permit. An alternative pedestrian plan
including a trail system in lieu of sidewalks may be considered by the Director. Maintenance of
the sidewalks shall be determined upfront by the governmental entity responsible for the street.
12.04.020 Local Street - Street Tree Alternative
Street trees are permitted in a street right‐of‐way only when planted in a street right‐of‐way approved
for street trees. All other trees planted along streets shall be located in the front yard of the lot. Trees
approved for designated street rights‐of‐way shall be planted within a parkway strip that is sized and
equipped with designated root barrier treatments in accordance with Section 12.06.
12.04.030 Downtown Overlay District Streets
All streets and sidewalks located within the Downtown Overlay District shall comply with the
Downtown Master Plan, as amended. Within the Downtown Overlay District, the developer shall be
responsible for the dedication of half of the remaining right‐of‐way and construction of landscaping,
sidewalks, lighting and other features of the Downtown Master Plan, where such improvements are
non‐existent or in need of re‐construction. If a development is approved for parking to be located
within the right‐of‐way, the developer shall be responsible for any necessary paving and/or
intersection improvements to conform to the standards of subsection (A) below.
The Director may consider a lesser right‐of‐way and/or street design when existing structures, trees, or
other objects preclude the expansion to the minimum right‐of‐way. In such instance, the Director may
consider reduced lanes, alternative on‐street parking configurations, or other alternative design.
A. Street Standards
1. All local streets located within the Downtown Overlay District shall meet the minimum right‐
of‐way and pavement widths in Table 12.03.030. Downtown Local Streets shall be designed
with parallel parking inset by intersection bulb‐outs on each side of the street and one travel
lane in each direction.
2. Streets uniquely identified within the Downtown Master Plan shall be dedicated and
constructed according to the cross‐section in the Downtown Master Plan.
3. Intersection crosswalks shall be constructed, at a minimum, as Type B crosswalks, as depicted
in the Chapter 12 Appendix. Street lighting shall be in accordance with Section 12.06 of this
Code.
B. Sidewalks and Trees
1. Sidewalks located within the Downtown Overlay District shall be at least six (6) feet wide and
constructed according to the design standards of a Level III Sidewalk, as described in the
Downtown Master Plan and depicted in the Construction Manual. Level III sidewalks shall
include a four (4) foot vegetated strip between the curb and sidewalk when not adjacent to
Page 271 of 426
Page 7 of 24
head‐in or angled street parking. If a sidewalk is identified in the Downtown Master Plan as a
Level I or II sidewalk, it shall be constructed accordingly.
2. Street Trees shall be required at a general spacing of 40 feet for Shade Trees and 20 feet for
Ornamental Trees. The Director may consider alternative spacing, species, and location based
on existing conditions. Shade Trees shall be planted in a parkway strip or tree well that is
sized and equipped with underground root barrier treatments in accordance with Section
12.06. Approved Ornamental Trees shall not require root barrier treatments.
12.04.040 Conservation Subdivision Streets
Local Streets within a designated Conservation Subdivision (per Section 11.06 of this Code) may be
constructed to a 26‐foot street width. Within the City’s designated fire service area, on‐street parking is
restricted in accordance with the adopted fire code. The parking lane shall be inset from the travel
lanes using bulb‐out curb design measuring 15x6 feet at each intersection and at 300‐foot intervals. The
City may consider limited drainage alternatives such as bioswales and landscaped filtration techniques
in conjunction with ribbon curbs for Conservation Subdivision Streets.
12.04.050 Context Sensitive Streets
The City’s Overall Transportation Plan encourages design flexibility for comprehensive plan streets to
accommodate the existing built environment or desired development. Context Sensitive Street (CSS)
alternative cross‐sections are provided within this Code to account for settings that contain a mixture
of uses, densities, and building types that may affect pedestrian and bicycle patterns, speed limits, and
on‐site parking options. As an alternative to the standard street types for comprehensive plan roads
and neighborhood streets, the CSS cross‐sections identified in the Chapter 12 Appendix and in a
Mixed‐Use (MU) Zoning District per Section 4.09 of this Code may be considered as design options for
development with this Code.
Section 12.05 Subdivision and Street Design
To further the goals of the Overall Transportation Plan of an interconnected street network, new streets
shall be integrated into existing and planned streets. New subdivisions shall account for primary and
secondary entry points into a subdivision, connect to streets stubbed from adjacent properties, and
provide for a neighborhood street layout focused on the safety of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
Street network connections shall be made based on the number of proposed residential or commercial
lots/units, the size and configuration of the land, and the type of streets constructed. Connection
locations shall be depicted on the Preliminary Plat, concept plan, if applicable, and any associated
phasing plans, and shall conform to the standards detailed below.
12.05.010 Street Network Connections
A. Connections to Major Streets
All non‐residential and residential lots and multi‐family complexes shall have direct or indirect
access to an existing major street, defined as a Major Collector, Minor Arterial and Major Arterial.
Table 12.05.010 is used to determine how many connections to an existing major street(s) are
required, based on the number of lots or units. For the purposes of this Section, lots and multi‐family
units are interchangeable for determining connections to existing major streets. Multi‐family
developments do not require more than 2 total connections.

Minimum
Lots/Units
Connections to Existing
Major Streets
1 ‐ 29 1
30 ‐ 79 1 + Fire Code access
80 ‐ 499 2
500 + 3
If a subdivision or multi‐family development does not directly connect to an existing major street, the
number of connections can be satisfied through existing local streets as long as there are enough
distinct, continuous routes to a major street through adjacent development to meet the requirements.
In that situation, the number of lots in the table shall encompass the total accumulated number of lots
or units sharing the street connections to the major street(s), regardless of subdivision boundary.
B. Street Network Connections Required
A proposed subdivision or development shall provide connections to the public street network in
accordance with Table 12.05.020, through either existing streets or by future street stubs to an
adjacent property. The minimum connections in Table 12.05.020 may be increased by further
requirements in this Section, such as intersection spacing and street connectivity ratio. For the
purposes of this Section, lots and multi‐family units are interchangeable for determining connections
to existing major streets. Multi‐family developments do not require more than 2 total connections.

C. Additional Street Connection Requirements
1. All existing streets in adjoining areas shall be connected and continued into the new
subdivision in alignment therewith, regardless of the number of street connections required.
Practical downsizing or upsizing of street widths, speeds, and design will be reviewed and
permitted at the discretion of the Development Engineer.
2. Whenever existing or future street connections are required, the right‐of‐way shall be
extended and all public improvements constructed to the property line boundary.
Page 273 of 426
Page 9 of 24
3. The Director can require that a proposed future street connection be shifted to a more suitable
location in order to minimize block length, discourage cut‐through traffic, align compatible
uses, preserve trees, prevent reserve strips, and increase the likelihood of ultimate connection.
4. All Major Collector‐designated streets and higher classifications shall connect or stub on both
ends to an existing or planned collector or higher‐level street. All other collectors should
generally connect to another collector although, on a case‐by‐case basis, exceptions can be
considered through an Administrative Exception.
5. A street stub cannot be used as the basis of lot frontage and/or access for an adjoining lot.
Street stubs are intended only to continue through such property.
6. Streets that are planned to extend in the future shall be constructed with temporary turn‐
arounds when the street stub exceeds 150 feet in length and shall be depicted on the plat as a
temporary easement. The following note should be placed on the plat: “Crosshatched area is
temporary easement for turn‐around until street is extended.” Temporary dead‐end streets
shall not exceed 500 feet. Reserve strips at the end of streets are prohibited.
7. All street network connections shall be provided prior to the final phase of development.
8. A platted residential lot or portion thereof may not be used as a means to connect a proposed
street to an existing street or cul‐de‐sac in order to satisfy the requirements of this Section if
the existing street was not intended to connect to the adjacent land.
9. In addition to the minimum street network connection requirements, intersection spacing and
connectivity provisions in Section 12.05.020 may increase the total connections required.
D. Street Connection Credits
Credits toward the minimum number of street connections are applicable only after the second
existing street connection has been satisfied. A Neighborhood Collector counts as two (2) local
street connections and a Major Collector or higher‐classification street counts as three (3) local
street connections, whether they are constructed as either an existing or future street connection.
12.05.020 Streets and Blocks
A. Intersection Spacing
Intersection spacing shall not exceed the lengths specified in Table 12.03.030 and adhere to the
following measurement and calculation standards:
1. Intersection spacing shall apply independently to each side of a street and shall be measured
between the centerlines of two through streets, both on the same side of the street segment to
be measured.
2. Cul‐de‐sac and other non through‐streets do not apply as an intersection when measuring
length of spacing.
3. Intersection spacing shall apply beyond each individual subdivision and measurements shall
be continued into the adjacent subdivision.
4. Intersection spacing requirements do not apply to Major Collector and higher‐classification
streets.
Page 274 of 426
Page 10 of 24
B. Mid-Block Pedestrian Connection
Where intersection spacing is 1,000 feet or greater in length, a minimum 15‐foot wide pass‐
through lot shall be required near the mid‐point of the block. The pass‐through lot shall connect
on both ends to a public street and shall be owned and maintained by a designated property
owner’s association or similar entity. Within the lot, a minimum 6‐foot wide sidewalk shall be
constructed in an access easement and connect on either end to public sidewalks.
C. Cul-de-sacs
A residential cul‐de‐sac shall not exceed 20 total lots or 500 feet in length, whichever is less. A
cul‐de‐sac exceeding 15 lots shall provide pedestrian access from the end of the cul‐de‐sac
through to the nearest public street, public school, sidewalk or trail, provided that such
connection is located within the same subdivision. A pass‐through lot containing a minimum 6‐
foot sidewalk in a public access easement shall connect on both ends to a public street and shall
be owned and maintained by a property owner’s association. A residential cul‐de‐sac is
permitted only within a subdivision that has more than one public street connection and shall not
take access off of an arterial street.
D. Street Connectivity
The street network for any subdivision with internal roads or
access to any public road shall achieve a connectivity ratio of
not less than 1.20. A Connectivity Ratio is achieved by taking
the number of street links divided by the number of nodes or
end links, including cul‐de‐sac heads. A node is the terminus of
a street or the intersection of two or more streets. A link is any
portion of a street defined by a node at each end or at one end.
Streets intersecting to an external collector or arterial street are
not considered nodes, but are considered links. Street stubs to
an adjacent property are considered links, but alley
intersections are not.
The adjacent graphic and sample calculation shows how the
street connectivity ratio for a subdivision shall be calculated.
12.05.030 Inter-Parcel Connectivity
All new commercial Site Development Plans and Stormwater Permits that require off‐street parking
and driveways shall provide driveway connections to adjacent properties parallel to any street fronting
the development, whether such property is developed or undeveloped. Access Easements shall be
provided where necessary to achieve such a connection. The Director may adjust connection locations
and consider alternative connections to the rear where practical.
Numbers (#) indicate Links = Nodes
13 links/11 nodes = 1.18 ratio
(Does not meet required 1.20 ratio)

Page 11 of 24
12.05.040 Exceptions
Exceptions to the requirements of Section 12.05 may be considered by Administrative Exception,
Subdivision Variance, or by the abandonment of a right‐of‐way, in compliance with this Code and the
City’s Municipal Code.
A. Administrative Exception
The Director may consider an Administrative Exception during subdivision plat or site plan
review for the following situations only: If a natural or man‐made barrier such as a highway,
railroad, floodplain, or severe topography would hinder the possibility of connection. The
administrative exception shall not apply to meeting the minimum connections to an existing
major street, as specified in Table 12.05.010. All other exceptions shall be processed as a
Subdivision Variance or Street Abandonment.
B. Subdivision Variance
A Subdivision Variance pursuant to Section 3.22 can be considered for proposed and required
street connections. The applicant shall demonstrate that all other administrative options have
been exhausted. The following are eligible for Subdivision Variance consideration:
1. Number of required connections, type of street connection, land use compatibility, or
location.
2. A local street that would connect a commercial/industrial development to a residential
development. In such instance, the applicant that is required or is proposing to make such a
connection is eligible to apply for the subdivision variance and must ensure that removal of
such a connection does not cause detrimental effects to the streets in the adjacent subdivision.
3. A connection that would cause an existing local street to exceed the Average Daily Trip
(ADT) projection specified in Table 12.03.030 and cause the Level of Service (LOS) on the
existing street to fall to Level “D” or worse, as determined through a Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA). The variance should be considered when efforts to re‐route traffic, alter street
classifications, or consider alternative connections have been exhausted.
C. Street Abandonment
If not otherwise eligible for a Subdivision Variance or exception provided for in this Section, a
City‐ approved public street or street stub that is proposed by any party to be closed,
disconnected or never connected to another public street shall be submitted to the City Council
for consideration of abandonment, following the procedures in the City’s Municipal Code. No
public street, right‐of‐way, or street approved by a plat shall be abandoned by the City or County
if not in accordance with this Code. The City and County will collectively determine whether to
abandon the portion of a public street that exists or is planned to be in both jurisdictions.
Section 12.06 Design and Technical Standards
Streets shall be designed in accordance with the design speed standards established in this Chapter in
conjunction with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
Manual, as amended. When listed in this Section, the published standard shall apply. When this Section
is silent, the AASHTO standard shall apply.
A. Street Curves and Geometry
1. Vertical curves shall be designed in accordance with AASHTO standards.
Page 276 of 426
Page 12 of 24
2. Horizontal curves shall be separated by a minimum tangent of 100 feet for Comprehensive
Plan Streets and 50 feet for all other streets.
3. Reverse curves shall be separated by a minimum tangent of 100 feet. Super‐elevated curves
shall not be allowed.
4. Horizontal tangents approaching an intersection shall be a minimum of 50 feet in depth.
5. Street landings shall be a minimum of 30 feet in depth with a grade of less than 2%
approaching an intersection.
6. Grade breaks shall not exceed 1% without a vertical curve.
7. Longitudinal grade shall be a minimum of 0.5% for streets using a curb and gutter drainage
system. Maximum grade shall conform to AASHTO criteria for all Comprehensive Plan
Streets and shall not exceed 15% for all other streets.
8. Roundabouts and traffic circles shall be designed to accommodate emergency service vehicles
and busses. Encouraged on local streets, roundabouts shall require approval by the
Development Engineer for a collector‐level street or higher classification.
9. Collectors shall generally follow a direct path and shall not turn in a perpendicular manner
after a stop or 90 degree bend, nor shall a collector end in a cul‐de‐sac or other permanent
turn‐around.
10. Exceptions to these standards, in addition to the design speeds for streets may be considered
by the Development Engineer on a case‐by‐case basis. Approved design speeds differing
from the statutory prima facie speed limits shall require signage in accordance with the Texas
Manual on Uniform Control Devices.
B. Intersection Alignment
1. All streets shall intersect at a 90‐degree angle. Deviations up to 15 degrees may be considered
by the Development Engineer on a case‐by‐case basis where existing conditions will not
permit.
2. New streets and driveways intersecting a street across from existing street or driveway shall
be aligned with the existing street or driveway on center line with dimensions and bearings to
show relationship. In unique circumstances where the Development Engineer determines that
precise alignment of driveways, Local Streets, or Residential Collectors is impossible due to
natural features or other unique elements of the land, such off‐sets may be included provided
the distance between center lines is not less than 125 feet.
C. Turning Radius
1. Local street intersections with another local street shall include a minimum curb radii of 15
feet. All collector street intersections with both local streets and other collectors shall include
a minimum curb radii of 25 feet. All arterial street intersections with any type of street shall
include a minimum curb radii of 30 feet.
2. Cul‐de‐sac streets shall have a minimum 60‐foot right‐of‐way and a 50‐foot paved radius for
single‐ and two‐family uses, and 70‐foot right‐of‐way and 60‐foot paved radius for all other
uses. Cul‐de‐sacs shall include a 25‐foot inside, 50‐foot outside turning radius. Hammerheads
and other turnaround alternatives shall meet the standards provided in the adopted Fire
Code.
Page 277 of 426
Page 13 of 24
3. Street intersections containing one or more Neighborhood Collector and
higher‐classification streets shall include 25‐foot right‐of‐way flares. The
25 feet is measured along the tangents from the point of intersection of
the two right‐of‐way lines.
D. Intersection Visibility and Sight Triangle
1. For a street not containing the 25‐foot right‐of‐way flare, a sight
triangle visibility easement shall be established at all street
intersections to ensure street visibility. This area shall measure
25 feet along the right‐of‐way in each direction from the
projected intersection (shown as “x” and “y” in the graphic). At
the intersection of two local streets, however, the sight triangle
can be measured from the back of the curb or, where no curbs
are in existence, the edge of the pavement. Where the right‐of‐
way/curb curves at the intersection, the tangents at the points of
beginning for the corner curve shall be projected to determine
the origination of the sides of the sight triangle.
2. Within the sight triangle, no construction, planting, grading or other natural or manmade
object, including signs and human advertising, that interferes with street visibility shall be
permitted between the heights of three (3) and eight (8) feet, measured from the crown of the
street, except as approved by the Development Engineer.
3. The Development Engineer has the authority to extend the sight triangle based on speeds,
pedestrian facilities, and location of the painted stop bar at the intersecting street.
Furthermore, the Development Engineer may make a determination that objects interfering
with street visibility shall be removed or otherwise altered to restore visibility.
E. Street Curbs
1. Approved street curb types are vertical, mountable, and ribbon curbs. Each curb type shall be
appropriate for the street classification, speed, drainage collection and meet the requirements
of this Chapter. All curbs, gutters, and inlets shall be designed and constructed in accordance
with the Construction Manual.
2. Comprehensive Plan Streets, Neighborhood Collectors, and any street within a Residential
Rural/Estate Subdivision may include ribbon curbs with approved drainage plans. All other
streets shall be constructed with mountable or vertical curbs unless approved by the

access easement, shall be dedicated as approved by the Director of Parks and Recreation.
2. The trail shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width, constructed to the standards depicted in the
Trails Master Plan, or otherwise approved by the Director of Parks and Recreation.
3. A trail constructed to the City’s trail standards may be constructed within the right‐of‐way or
public utility easement as a substitute for a street sidewalk if the Trails Master Plan
designates a trail along the street.
C. On-Street Bicycle Lanes
Bicycle facilities are required along Major Collectors and Arterials at the minimum widths specified
in Table 12.02.030. On Arterial streets, bicycle accommodations are recommended in a shared‐use
path off of the vehicular travel lanes for the safety of the cyclists, though the approved cross‐sections
in Appendix A allow for on‐street striped lanes as well. Design and construction of all bicycle
facilities shall meet or exceed standards set forth in the City’s Overall Transportation Plan.
D. Sidewalk Fund
A designated City fund, entitled “Sidewalk Fund,” shall hold any financial contributions paid in
accordance with the provisions in this Code. Funds shall be held in trust by the City to be used
exclusively for the purpose of purchasing and/or equipping public streets for sidewalks.
E. Alternative Pedestrian Improvements
1. Alternative locations or design variation(s) of sidewalks, pedestrian access facilities, or hike
and bike trails to a standard that deviates from the Construction Manual can be requested to
the Development Engineer. If approved, ownership and maintenance shall be transferred to
the property owner or property/homeowner association and recorded by separate
instrument, along with a public access agreement.
2. When an administrative alternative cannot be achieved, a Subdivision Variance pursuant to
Section 3.22 may be requested for either fees‐in‐lieu of construction, delay of construction, or
waiver. Justifications for the variance include, but are not limited to, the location of the facility
in relation to the existing or planned pedestrian network, the need for the facility, and/or
topography/natural features. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, Site Development Plan, or
other applicable approval stage, payment of any required fees shall be provided for deposit
into the Sidewalk Fund at a cost not to exceed 125% of the estimated construction plan costs,
Page 281 of 426
Page 17 of 24
as approved by the Development Engineer. A request may be made to City Council for City
participation in any pedestrian improvements required by this Chapter.
Section 12.08 Driveway Standards
All driveways accessing a street shall require a permit through either a Building Permit, Stormwater
Permit, Site Development Plan, or Driveway Access Permit, in accordance with this Code. The
Development Engineer may use discretion on exact driveway spacing distance and location, where
warranted. A lot approved in accordance with this Code has the right to at least one (1) driveway
access point, which may or may not be full‐access depending on conditions. A driveway may provide
access to no more than four (4) lots before a street is required.
12.08.010 Residential Driveways
1. Single‐family and two‐family platted lots shall only take access from an alley, local street,
residential lane, or residential collector and shall not take access road that contains a County
number (Ex. CR 425), arterial, or highway.
2. Residential driveways on a local street serving single‐family or two‐family lots shall be
separated from a street intersection by a minimum of 50 feet, measured from the right‐of‐way
to the center of the driveway. Residential lots with frontage on more than one non‐
intersecting street shall take access from the street with the lower classification, if applicable.
3. Residential driveways on a Residential Collector serving single‐family or two‐family lots shall
be spaced a minimum of 70 feet on center and shared driveways are not permitted.
Exceptions to this provisions include:
a. Does not apply to alley‐loaded only lots fronting on Residential Collectors.
b. Does not apply if less than 25% of the linear street frontage contains front‐loaded lots.
c. Distance separation may be reduced to 55 feet if only one side of the street is front‐loaded
or if the street is divided by a median.
d. A platted lot that is 90 feet or greater in width located on a collector‐level or higher street
may be allowed a second driveway access point irrespective of the 70‐foot separation
provision, in full accordance with all setback provisions.
e. Slip roads that provide public access along a private driveway serving multiple
residential lots, provided that the slip road access to the collector meets the separation.
12.08.020 Non-Residential Driveways
1. Non‐Residential driveways shall be no wider than 30 feet, except where a median is present
within the driveway. When a median is desired or required, the driveway width shall not
exceed 45 feet and the median shall be constructed with a mountable curb. On streets
operated by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the Development Engineer
may defer to TxDOT in circumstances where these standards are not practical.
2. Non‐Residential full‐access driveways shall be separated from a street intersection and from
other driveways in accordance with Table 12.08.020, measured on center or from the right‐of‐
way to the center of the driveway. Minimum separation for right‐in, right‐out‐only driveways
shall be determined by the Development Engineer on a case‐by‐case basis, but in no case be
spaced less than 200 feet from a street or driveway.

Section 12.09 Traffic Impact Analysis (unchanged)
12.09.010 Purpose
To ensure that development impacts are mitigated through specified constructed public improvements
and/or financial contributions thereto and that such requirements are proportional to the traffic
demands created by a new development. There must be a rough proportionality between the traffic
impacts created by a new development and the associated impact requirements placed on the property
owner.
12.09.020 Applicability
The road adequacy regulations in this Section apply to land development activities within the City
limits and within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, as specified in this Section.
12.09.030 Traffic Impact Analysis
A. When Required
1. A Traffic Impact Analysis shall be required with any application for a subdivision, Site
Plan, Stormwater Permit, or Driveway Permit, for which the proposed development generates
traffic in excess of 2,000 average daily trips, based upon the latest edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. In the event that specific land uses for
the development are not specified at the time of subdivision or plat application, the daily trip
generation rate for the most intensive land use from the ITE Manual for the land use classification
of the application shall be used to compute the estimated average daily trips.
2. The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) shall be prepared by a licensed professional in
accordance with standard transportation engineering practices for purposes of determining the
adequacy of the road network to serve the proposed development, and whether off‐site road
dedication and improvements should be made to mitigate the effects of the development
proposed in the application.
Page 284 of 426
Page 20 of 24
3. An initial Traffic Impact Analysis shall be submitted with the first application for the
development that triggers the requirement. An updated Traffic Impact Analysis shall be
submitted with each Final Plat submitted for approval and shall be generally consistent with the
initial Traffic Impact Analysis. The initial Traffic Impact Analysis shall be updated whenever a
subdivision plat or Site Plan is modified to authorize more intensive development.
B. Study Scope
When a Traffic Impact Analysis is required, the scope of the analysis shall be determined during
a scoping meeting with the Development Engineer. The scoping meeting may occur during any
required pre‐application meeting, but may also be scheduled after an initial pre‐application
meeting. No application requiring a Traffic Impact Analysis may be made until the scope of the
required analysis has been determined. The Development Engineer may involve representatives
of or request assessments from other agencies and departments. The elements to be determined
during the scoping session shall include the following.
1. Definition of Impact Area
The points of access and key streets and intersections that may be affected by development
of the subject tract constitute the impact area. Traffic recorder and turning movement
assessment locations shall be determined.
2. Period of Analysis
Periods of analysis shall include: average daily traffic, peak AM and PM, or weekend peak
hour.
3. Analysis Scenarios
Scenarios for analysis include: existing conditions, opening year conditions with and without
development, and 10 years after opening with and without development.
4. Process
Process for determining trip generation and distribution including: trip generation category,
diversion assumptions, distribution assumptions, and capacity analysis.
5. Growth Rate Assumption
The rate of growth assumed in background traffic assumptions.
6. Future Development
Planned developments in the area that have been approved or are under review.
C. Traffic Study Elements
A letter report or special report shall only include those elements agreed upon in the scoping
meeting. A full Traffic Impact Study shall include the following elements.
1. Existing Condition Survey
a. Street System Description
The street system shall be described including geometric features, lane usage, traffic
control, signage, sight distances, and adjacent uses and curb cuts.
b. Traffic Volumes
Page 285 of 426
Page 21 of 24
Existing traffic volumes shall be provided for the impact area including both ADT
(Average Daily Traffic) and “Design” peak hour volumes. ADT shall be derived from the
latest available counts taken by the City or Texas Department of Transportation. Peak
hour volumes shall be obtained from field counts. Data shall be adjusted for daily and
seasonal variations. Turning movement counts for the peak hour shall be provided for
critical intersections. Peak hour periods shall be as determined at the scoping meeting.
c. Capacity Analysis
Existing capacity of signalized and unsignalized intersections.
d. Other
Other items may be required at the discretion of the Director depending upon the type
and scale of the project. These may include but are not limited to: queue length analysis,
pedestrian counts, accident data, traffic speeds (both 50th and 85th percentile), and
stopping sight distances.
2. Future Without Development
Capacity analysis is to be provided for opening year and plus 10‐year for key intersections
(and street segments where appropriate) without the development but including any
planned developments. The analysis shall be based upon the Highway Capacity Manual or
other methodologies approved in advance by the Director.
3. Future with Development
a. Projections of the daily and peak hour traffic generation of the project shall be made
using the latest edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual unless the Director determines
that locally derived data will provide more accurate forecasts. Data from similar facilities
may be used where the information is not available from ITE.
b. The projected trips shall be distributed onto the road network as agreed in the scoping
meeting.
c. Capacity analysis for opening year and plus 10‐year for key intersections (and street
segments where appropriate).
d. Special analysis as may be required to determine warrants for signalization, minimum
safe sight distances, gap analysis, turning radius requirements, queue length analysis,
turning lane length analysis, curb cut locations, or similar requirements.
4. Mitigation Plan
Where the analysis indicates that the project will create deficiencies in the impact area,
improvements shall be recommended which shall include projected cost estimates. The
design of improvements shall be in accordance with specifications of the Development
Engineer and, where appropriate, the Texas Department of Transportation. The mitigation
plan shall also include any dedications necessary to comply with the Minimum Road
Standards described below. Where the final approval authority for any procedure
determines that a mitigation plan is not adequate to address the traffic impacts of the project,
it may serve as a basis for denial of the permit or subdivision plat.
Page 286 of 426
Page 22 of 24
E. Consultants
The City may require that an independent licensed professional traffic engineer be hired by the
applicant to perform the required Traffic Impact Analysis or to review all or part of a study
prepared by the applicant’s consultants.
F. Minimum Road Standards
All applications for plat approval, Site Plan approval, or PUD rezoning shall provide for
adequate roads to support proposed development through compliance with the following
minimum standards governing dedication and improvement of internal streets and adjacent
thoroughfares. For purposes of this Section “adjacent thoroughfares” shall include thoroughfares
abutting the proposed subdivision, whether located within the boundaries of the subdivision or
within public rights‐of‐way.
1. Standards and Specifications
The property owner shall dedicate and improve all required rights‐of‐way for internal
streets and adjacent thoroughfares required by these regulations in accordance with the
classification of streets contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Dedication and Improvement of Internal Roadways and Adjacent Thoroughfares
a. The property owner shall dedicate and improve one‐half of the right‐of‐way necessary to
meet the specification in the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The City may require additional land and improvements for rights‐of‐way for adjacent
thoroughfares where necessary to achieve adequacy of the road network and where such
additional land and improvements are proportional to the traffic impacts generated by
the proposed development, depending on factors such as the impact of the development
on the adjacent thoroughfare, the timing of development in relation to need for the
thoroughfare, and the likelihood that adjoining property will develop in a timely
manner.
c. In the case of adjacent frontage or service roads for State and Federally designated
highways, the property owner shall dedicate sufficient right‐of‐way and make
authorized improvements in order to provide an adequate road network to serve the
development.
3. Substandard Street Improvements
Where an existing thoroughfare that does not meet the City’s right‐of‐way or design
standards abuts a proposed new development, the City may require the property owner to
dedicate the right‐of‐way for a standard thoroughfare width, and to improve the street
according to the dimensions and specifications in the Comprehensive Plan or Sections 12.02
and 12.03 of this Code, depending on factors such as the impact of the development on the
thoroughfare, the timing of development in relation to need for the thoroughfare, and the
likelihood that adjoining property will develop in a timely manner.
4. Capital Improvements Plan for Roads
A road improvement may be considered adequate for an application if the required
improvement is included, funded, and approved in the City’s, County’s or State’s two‐ year
capital improvements plan for roads or if the improvement is included, funded, and
approved in the City’s, County’s, or State’s three to five year capital improvements plan for
Page 287 of 426
Page 23 of 24
roads, provided that the applicant agrees to phase development to conform to such
scheduled improvement. This Section shall not be construed to prevent the City from
requiring dedication of rights‐of‐way for such roads or from assigning trips to such roads in
a traffic impact study in order to determine a development project’s proportionate costs of
improvements.
5. Participation in Costs of Improvements
The City may participate in the costs of improvements required by this Section in order to
achieve proportionality between the traffic impacts created by the proposed development
and the obligation to provide adequate streets. In such cases, the property owner shall be
responsible for the entire initial costs of road improvements, including design costs.
Reimbursement of the City’s agreed share of the costs shall be made as funds become
available. The construction of improvements and the provisions for participation in costs by
the City shall be included in a subdivision improvement agreement.
G. City Evaluation and Action
The City shall evaluate the adequacy of the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by the applicant.
Based upon such evaluation, the City shall determine (1) whether the application may be
approved in the absence of dedication of rights‐of‐way or construction of improvements to each
affected thoroughfare and (2) the extent of the applicant’s obligations to make such dedications or
improvements. The City shall condition the approval of the subdivision application on one or
more of the following performances by the applicant:
1. Delay or phasing of development until thoroughfares with adequate capacity or intersection
improvements are constructed;
2. A reduction in the density or intensity of the proposed development sufficient to assure that
the road network has adequate capacity to accommodate the additional traffic to be
generated by the development;
3. The dedication or construction of thoroughfares or traffic control improvements needed to
mitigate the traffic impacts generated by the proposed development.
H. Deferral of Obligation
Upon request of the applicant or property owner, the obligation to dedicate or improve
thoroughfare rights‐of‐way or to make intersection improvements imposed on an application
may be deferred to a later stage of the development process.
As a condition of deferring the obligation to dedicate rights‐of‐way for or to improve
thoroughfares, which deferral shall be in the sole discretion of the City, the City shall require the
developer to execute a subdivision improvement agreement specifying the amount and timing of
the rights‐of‐way dedication or improvements to thoroughfares.
I. Cash Contributions
In lieu of the obligation to dedicate or improve thoroughfares or make traffic control
improvements to achieve road adequacy, the applicant may propose to make equivalent cash
contributions based upon the development project’s proportionate share of the costs of
improvements, which the City in its sole discretion may accept in satisfaction of road adequacy
standards in this Section. Any funds accepted by the City shall be earmarked for construction of
the improvements for which the contribution was made.
Page 288 of 426
Page 24 of 24
J. Options
Whenever the proposed development’s share of the costs of a thoroughfare or traffic control
improvement needed to mitigate traffic generated by the development is less than 100 percent,
the City in its sole discretion may do the following:
1. Participate in the excess costs; or
2. Aggregate the costs of improving multiple thoroughfares or intersections identified in the
Traffic Impact Analysis, and require improvements to only some of the thoroughfares or
intersections affected by the development.
K. Appeal of Traffic Impact Analysis Conditions
Any appeal of a disapproved or denied final action resulting, in full or in part, from a
determination that the Mitigation Plan was insufficient shall include the following.
1. The appeal shall allege that recommended conditions requiring dedication or construction of
thoroughfares or traffic control improvements are not roughly proportional to the nature
and extent of the traffic impacts on the road network created by the development being
proposed.
2. The appeal may also allege that the imposition of the conditions deprives the owner of the
economically viable use of the land or of a vested property right.
3. The applicant shall provide a study in support of the appeal including the following
information:
a. Total vehicle miles of road capacity utilized by the proposed development, employing
average trip length and equivalency Tables provided by the City.
b. Total vehicle miles of road capacity supplied by proposed dedications of rights‐of‐ way
or improvements to thoroughfares.
4. The City Council, shall consider the appeal and determine whether the street or traffic
control dedication and construction requirements are roughly proportional to the nature and
extent of the impacts on the road network created by the development proposed. If the
petition also alleges that the proposed dedication or construction requirements constitute a
deprivation of economically viable use or of a vested property right, the Hearing body also
shall consider such issues. Following such determinations, the appeal Hearing body may
take any of the following actions regarding the road adequacy portion of the appeal only:
a. Deny the appeal, upon determining that the required dedications of rights‐of‐way for or
improvements to thoroughfares or traffic control improvements are roughly proportional
to the nature and extent of the impacts created by the development, and order that such
dedication or improvements be made as a condition of approval of the subdivision
application.
b. Deny the appeal, finding that the dedication or improvement requirements are
inadequate to achieve road adequacy, and either deny the subdivision application or
require that additional dedications of rights‐of‐way dedication for or improvements to
thoroughfares or traffic control improvements, be made as a condition of approval of the
application.
c. Grant the appeal and waive in whole or in part any dedication or construction
requirement that is not roughly proportional; or
d. Grant the appeal and direct that the City participate in the costs of acquiring rights‐of‐
way or constructing improvements sufficient to achieve proportionality.

Page 7 of 20
A. Construction of Master Plan Infrastructure
When a master plan requires the installation of regional infrastructure on a property, the developer
shall extend and construct such facilities at their own expense. When these facilities exceed the utility
needs for the specific development beyond the utility minimum size, the facility shall be considered
oversized. All necessary easements and/or rights‐of‐way for such infrastructure shall be dedicated at
no cost to the City.
B. Oversizing Cost Participation
1. The City may, at its sole discretion, participate with a developer in the cost of oversized
facilities based upon, but not limited to the following factors:
a) The approved utility budget for the current year;
b) The ability of the specific utility to fund any future costs;
c) The degree to which the project conforms to and accomplishes the 5‐year CIP priorities;
d) The degree to which the project accomplishes the utility Master Plan; and
e) The impact to system operations. Any cost participation contract shall be approved by the
City Council prior to approval of the Final Plat.
2. Cost participation shall be based upon the cost differential between the master plan line size
and the minimum line size required to serve the development, for eligible construction costs.
3. When a line extension is included in the current 5‐year CIP, the approved cost participation
contract shall provide for the payment to be scheduled during the same fiscal year as the CIP
project that would have accomplished the line extension, and after the date of notice of
acceptance by the City.
4. The fees shall be calculated by the City based on information from the developer’s engineer,
using a methodology that apportions the development’s projected usage (based upon the
minimum pipe size) to the available usage due to oversizing. The developer’s engineer shall
use the City’s approved water or wastewater master plan as a basis for calculating residential
flow per dwelling unit. Calculations for non‐residential units shall be calculated using the
latest edition of the “Design Criteria for Sewage Systems,” as produced by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
5. The calculation of cost participation shall be based on construction costs in effect at the time
the connection to the system (the “tap”) is made. All calculations shall be submitted to the
City for appropriate review, verification, and approval.
6. A cost participation contract is not a guarantee of capacity. Guarantee of capacity is achieved
through payment of impact fees.
C. Impact Fee Credits
When a line extension is included in the 10‐year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), an Impact Fee
credit may be eligible on the fee assessment for each lot in the subdivision. Impact Fee credit shall be
calculated based upon the number and size of service connections and the allocation of costs in the
Impact Fee calculation, as amended.

Section 13.08 Parkland
13.08.010 Requirements for Parkland Dedication
A. Dedication of Public Parkland Required
Pursuant to the current adopted Ordinance regarding Parkland Dedication, it shall be required
that a developer of multi‐family residential or subdivider of any residential subdivision within
the City’s territorial jurisdiction set aside and dedicate to the public sufficient and suitable lands
within the appropriate primary or secondary zones established by 13.05.030E, below, for the
purpose of public Parkland and/or make a financial contribution for the acquisition of such
Parkland in accordance with the provisions of this Section and these regulations generally.
1. All plats receiving subdivision approval of 4 or fewer units shall be exempt from conforming
to the requirements of this Section. All other residential subdivisions and multi‐family
developments shall be in conformance with these requirements through either the
combination of public Parkland dedication and/or payment of fees‐in‐lieu of required
Parkland to satisfy the provisions of this Code.
2. In the event the subdivider offers to dedicate land for a public park classification that is
defined in the Comprehensive Plan, which meets the design standards of these regulations,
and that is three or more acres in size the City shall be obligated to accept the Parkland
dedication.
3. Where a subdivider or multi‐family developer proposes to develop 50 or fewer lots or units
within the subdivision or development and where no future phasing is proposed the
payment of fees in‐lieu will be required. When the subdivider/or developer proposes to pay
an in‐lieu‐fee as provided for below the Council may accept such payment as satisfying the
Parkland dedication requirements of this Code, except that the City reserves the right to
require the dedication of land for public park purposes in accordance with this Section when
one or more acres of land would be required to satisfy the Parkland dedication requirements
of this Code.
B. Formula for Calculating Area of Parkland
The acreage to be contributed prior to final approval by the Council of any residential
subdivision shall be pro‐rated in an amount equal to one acre for each 50 new dwelling units
projected to occupy any developing parcel. A parcel in which dwelling units were built after
February 14, 1988 on an illegal lot shall also pay a fee‐in‐lieu for the existing units.
C. Alternative Dedication within General Development Plan Areas
1. Equivalent Acreage
When the residential subdivision is part of an area of land which is required by this
ordinance to obtain approval of a subdivision, a subdivider is required to dedicate land in
compliance with this Section prior to the recordation of the first record Final Plat for the
development. The subdivider shall dedicate land equivalent in acreage to that amount of
parkland required for the number of units proposed for the build‐out of the Preliminary Plat.
The subdivider may request approval of a Development Agreement with the City to
dedicate land to the City which may be exchanged by the City in the future for more
desirable parkland interior to the subdivision within a defined period of time, not to exceed
five years. Land dedicated in this manner shall not be used or characterized as parkland
Dr
a
f
t
CC
2.1

Page 9 of 20
until the expiration of the Development Agreement, in order to facilitate the exchange of the
land for the proposed parkland in the future, but will be held by the City in lieu of the
proposed future parkland.
2. Land Not Adjacent to First Record Final Plat
If the proposed parkland for the residential subdivision is not immediately adjacent to the
boundary of the first Final Plat for the development, the subdivider may dedicate the
parkland by Final Plat provided that fiscal surety is provided to the City in accordance with
this Code for the subdivision improvements required to provide paved street access and
utilities to the parkland.
D. Fee Payment In-lieu of Parkland Dedication
When the amount of land required by this Section is less than three acres the Council may require
the subdivider to pay a fee‐in‐lieu of Parkland dedication. Subdivisions in which dwelling units
were built after February 14, 1988 on an illegal lot shall also pay a fee‐in‐lieu for the existing
units. The developer shall tender and pay over to the City said fee prior to recordation of the
Final Plat. The applicable fees shall be those established in Section 15.04.045 “Development
Process Fees” of the Code of Ordinances and provided in the UDC Development Manual.
13.08.020 Design Standards for Parkland
Any land to be dedicated to meet the requirements of these regulations shall be reasonably located and
adaptable for use as a public park and recreation facility as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. The
Commission shall make recommendations to the Council concerning the suitability of proposed
Parkland. The shape of the parcel or tract of land to be dedicated should be appropriate for public
parks and recreation purposes. All such Parkland shall be designed and located so as to satisfy the
following general requirements:
A. The dedicated land should form a single parcel or tract of land at least three acres in size, unless it
is determined that a smaller tract would be in the public interest or that additional contiguous
land will be reasonably available for dedication to or purchase by the City.
B. Public access to public Parkland delineated on a Preliminary Plat shall be ensured by provision of
at least 200 feet of street frontage, in a manner satisfactory to the City, preferably a 200‐foot by
200‐foot corner site at the intersection of two internal subdivision streets. At the time the land
abutting the delineated areas is developed, the subdivider of such abutting land shall furnish and
pay for paving all abutting street frontage and shall provide water and sewer access to the
boundary of one side of the delineated area to meet minimum requirements of these regulations.
C. The land to be dedicated to meet the requirements of these regulations should be suitable for
public parks and recreation activities, specifically:
1. Grade/Slope Requirements: 50 % of the dedicated land area should not exceed 20% grade;
2. Utilities Required: Minimum of 2‐inch water service and 6‐inch gravity sewer service lines
located along at least one property line of the dedicated land;
3. Permanent Property Boundary Markers Required: Above‐ground, grade‐level survey
markers are required to be permanently installed on all property lines of the dedicated land,
according to standards established by the City of Georgetown.

D. Any disturbed Parkland shall be restored and the soil stabilized by vegetative cover by the
developer.
E. Areas within the 100‐year floodplain may be dedicated in partial fulfillment of the dedication
requirement when the development is adjacent to one of the three forks of the San Gabriel River.
Said dedication shall include the entire 100‐year floodplain or a 200 foot strip measured from the
center line of the river, whichever is greater.
F. The following standards shall also apply to the consideration of Parkland dedication within the
100‐year floodplain.
1. Areas in the 100‐year flood plain not located adjacent to one of the three forks of the San
Gabriel River, may constitute up to 50 percent of the requirement of land dedication
provided that adjoining land within the 25‐year floodplain is also dedicated, but that such
land in the 25‐year floodplain shall not be credited towards the requirements of land
dedication or payment of fees.
2. Non‐Residential development, although not required to dedicate Parkland, shall be given
incentives to encourage the dedication of land within the 100‐year floodplain when located
adjacent to one of the three forks of the San Gabriel River. Such incentives shall include, but
not be limited to, credit for development intensities that could have occurred in the
dedicated portion of the development to other areas within the same development. Said
incentives shall be approved by the Commission and Council.
3. That such area shall meet any additional standards specified in the Parkland design
standards pertaining to the dedication of the 100‐year floodplain.
G. In the case of areas known to contain sensitive environmental features, the City may, at its
discretion, waive these standards subject to the following limitations:
1. Such areas shall provide recreational or educational opportunities for the surrounding
community.
2. Such areas shall be given a 50% credit against the requirement of land dedication or payment
of fees.
3. Such areas shall meet any additional standards specified in the Parkland design standards
pertaining to the dedication of areas known to contain sensitive environmental features.
H. The location of Parkland may be required at the edge of a subdivision so that additional land
may be added at such time as adjacent land is subdivided or acquired for public use. Otherwise a
centralized location is preferred.
I. The Parks and Recreation Board shall make recommendations based upon the Parkland design
standards and the provisions contained herein, to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council concerning the amount and location of Parkland, credit for land in the 100‐year
floodplain, and/or fees‐in‐lieu of Parkland dedication.
13.08.030 Park Fund Established
A. A separate fund to be deposited at the highest interest rate permitted by law to be entitled “Park
Fund” shall be and is hereby created and the money paid by owners, subdividers, and applicants
at final approval of subdivision plats shall be held in said fund in trust to be used solely and
Dr
a
f
t
CC
2.1
4
Page 299 of 426
Page 11 of 20
exclusively for the purpose of purchasing and/or equipping public park and recreational land in
the primary and secondary zones as established by this Section which apply to the subdivision.
B. At such time as the City Council, based upon the recommendations of the Parks and Recreation
Board, determines that there are sufficient funds derived from a certain area in the Park Fund to
purchase usable Parkland, the Council shall cause negotiations to be undertaken to purchase the
site by mutual agreement or by condemnation proceedings. In making such determination for the
purchase of said site, the conditions of Section 13.05.020 above shall be taken into consideration.
The principal and interest deposited and kept in the Park Fund shall be used solely for the
purpose of purchasing and/or equipping land for public park and recreation uses, and shall
never be used for maintaining or operating public park facilities or for any other purpose. Any
funds paid in‐lieu of the Parkland dedication requirements must be expended by the City within
five years from the date received. If not so expended, the owners of the property on the last day
of such period shall be entitled to a pro rata refund, computed on a square footage of area basis.
The owners of such property must request such refund within one year of the entitlement, in
writing or such right shall be waived. Said refunds shall be paid within 60 days of the filing of the
request with the City Secretary.
C. Park dedication zones are illustrated in Figure 13.05.030.D. The zone in which a subdivision is
located is the primary zone. Each primary zone has adjacent secondary zones, which are
identified in Table 13.05.030.D. The first priority for expenditure of funds is within the primary
zone, although these funds may be spent in the secondary zones with the City Council’s
authorization. The primary zone for a subdivision located within more than one zone shall be
each zone that the subdivision is located within. An owner, subdivider or applicant for a
subdivision may authorize the expenditure of the park dedication fees for that subdivision in
zones other than those defined as primary or secondary with the recommendation of the Parks
and Recreation Board and the approval of the Council.
All Park Fund money collected prior to the adoption of this Section shall be expended according
to these requirements. Review of the park dedication zones will be conducted during each review
of this Unified Development Code.

13.08.040 Method of Dedicating Parkland
Land accepted for dedication under the requirements of these regulations shall be conveyed by
warranty deed prior to Final Plat approval, transferring the property in fee simple to the City of
Georgetown, Texas, and must be free and clear of any mortgages or liens at the time of such
conveyance. A copy of the warrantee deed shall be provided to the Director of Parks and Recreation
prior to recordation.
Section 13.09 Subdivision Improvement Guarantee
In lieu of full construction of all public improvements prior to Final Plat recordation, a plat may be
recorded without acceptance of the required public improvements through the posting of fiscal surety.
Fiscal surety shall be provided in an amount of at least 125 percent (125%) of the cost of the required
public improvements, as estimated by a licensed engineer and approved by the Development
Engineer. The Development Engineer has the discretion to reduce the percentage of the fiscal surety
instrument based on the amount of the construction completed.
The financial instrument shall state the name of the development or subdivision, and shall list the
required improvements and estimate costs thereof. A plat shall not be recorded until financial security
is delivered to the City in a form provided by the City and approved as to form and legality by the City
Attorney. No release of any security shall occur until the City has formally accepted the improvement
that is the subject of such security.
Section 13.10 Creation of Special Districts (unchanged)
13.10.010 Purpose and Intent
To provide for the prudent use of political subdivisions that are created pursuant to Article III, Section
52, and/or Article XVI, Section 59, of the Texas Constitution and that are authorized by law to provide
water, wastewater, drainage, and other services (“districts”), in order to allow development within the
City’s corporate boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction that is generally consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
This section is intended to be equitably applied to the creation of, inclusion of land within, and
operation of all proposed districts, while allowing flexibility necessary to address unique factors that
may arise with respect to each proposed district.
Prior to considering whether to consent to or support the creation of a district, the City will consider
whether the City is able to provide water and/or wastewater service to the area proposed to be
included in the district and whether such area is within the City’s projected ultimate city limit
boundary.
The standards established in this section are intended to carry out the following purposes:
• Encourage quality development;
• Protect the water quality within all watersheds of the City;
• Protect the water quality of the City’s drinking water sources;
• Allow the City to enforce land use and development regulations consistent with the City’s
comprehensive plan;

General Topic Priority Requested Amendment Amendment Description
UDC Section
Addressed
3 1 Create a process to address requests for vesting determinations.
Vesting claims have been presented to the city occasionally over the past few years, but with no defined procedures for addressing.
These requests will likely increase over the next few years as the city has adopted new regulations that will apply to some existing
developments.
1 6 Reconsider subdivision plat extensions and reinstatements
Consider removing or scaling back administrative extensions and reinstatements of subdivisions plats. The City extended the lifespan
of subdivision plats in 2012 and provided flexibility on phasing of larger projects. Extensions and reinstatements are no longer
necessary for subdivisions.Section 3.08.090
18Reconsider how the current Gateway Overlay districts are being
used.
Currently, the Gateway Overlay districts only provide for additional landscaping along the frontages of these roads. Staff would like to
explore utilizing these districts to address other issues that have presented over the last couple of years such as land uses or design.
Reconsider allowing "Contractor Services Limited", "Contractor Services General", and "Office Warehouse" Specific Uses in the C-3
zoning district.
312Acknowledge mobile food trailers as a use within the UDC and
outline appropriate regulations governing.Mobile food trailers have increased in popularity and the city’s codes should be updated to address them.
213Provide better clarification regarding when a use is considered an
accessory use and when it is considered an additional primary use.
There has been some question in the past when more than one use is proposed on the same property or with the same business as
to whether the use should be treated as an accessory use to the primary use or whether it should be handled as another primary use
on the property. Also, clarity with regards to the standards that the accessory use must adhere to should be provided as well.
214Clarify the definition and application of the "Live Music or
Entertainment" specific use
Clarification is needed regarding the intent of the "Live Music or Entertainment" specific use in Chapter 5 as well as the limitations
associated with the use, including the definition of outdoor entertainment.
2 15 Review and update outdoor display and storage regulations
Review regulations pertaining to outdoor display and storage of merchandise, materials, and equipment. The existing regulations
have presented challenges in some situations and are somewhat unclear in others.
316Review and update Conservation Subdivision standards to
encourage usage.
Update conservation subdivision section to relax restrictions and incentivize its use. Consider in light of salamander listing and water
conservation ordinance standards.
Section 3.08
Not pursued
211Add or amend standard conditions of approval for Special Use
Permits required for specific uses.
Staff proposes adding standard conditions of approval to Special Use Permits that currently do not have any and possibly refining
some of the conditions for those that do in order to provide better direction to applicants.
210Consider changes to the zoning districts various Specific Uses may
be permitted in.
Staff is regularly presented with questions regarding the possibility of allowing different uses in districts they are not otherwise
allowed in and would like to address some of these through the public process in the next round of updates to the UDC. Examples
include allowing stand-alone medical offices in the Industrial district and whether recreational vehicles (RVs) should be allowed as
primary quarters in the Agriculture district.
Land Uses
29Consider updating the list of Specific Uses in Chapter 5 to include
various uses that are not currently listed.
Over time new uses are presented to staff that are not specifically addressed in the UDC. Examples include self-service machines
(ice) and storage yards.
Zoning/ Overlay
Districts
37Review Courthouse View Protection Overlay district requirements for
clarity and completeness.
The Courthouse View Overlay provisions should be reviewed to make sure they are complete, that there are no missing steps, and that
the specifics of how to apply this overlay are clear.
15Review and update Preliminary Plat phasing provisions based on
experience.
For larger tracts, consider a preliminary process such as a concept plan that creates long-term expectations for utilities,
transportation, public facilities, parks, etc. without requiring plat-level engineering and detail. Consider minimum acreage sizes for
preliminary plats and/or concept plans. Protect street connectivity between subdivisions by having more global plans.
Subdivision/
Platting
1 4 Review current exemptions to platting requirements for clarity.
Update subdivision language to reflect case law, attorney general opinions and correct confusion between 3.08.020 and 3.08.010 E
relative to division of land for the purposes sale versus division of land for development.
13Expand development agreement language establishing clear
requirements and processes.
Upcoming policies for procedures and consideration of special districts and development agreements are anticipated and would
require UDC amendments to implement.
Requested General Amendments
Application
Processes and
Requirements 32Review the Special Use Permit (SUP) Conceptual Site Plan
requirements for review.
There is a very detailed list of items to be included on the Conceptual Site Plan required for consideration of an SUP. Not all of these
details are needed or applicable to all types of SUPs. Staff proposes we look at this list and consider whether all are needed or
appropriate.
Page 322 of 426
117Consider masonry requirements for single-family and two-family
structures Consider adding masonry requirements for single-family and two-family structures, which do not exist today.
118Consider residential off-street parking requirements including
garage setbacks in relation to street design
Staff is working on amendments to the transportation section of the UDC, particularly street parking and street design. Considerations
regarding minimum street widths and fire service needs for residential subdvisions will warrant study of off-street parking and garage
setback requirements.Section 6.02
Nonresidential
Standards 119Review the masonry requirements for multifamily and commercial
buildings
Review existing masonry requirements for multifamily and commercial buildings to ensure appropriate, sustainable, and visually-
appealling materials are being used in the appropriate locations.
120Review current requirements for screening of mechanical
equipment for options or exceptions.There are difficulties in applying the screening requirements in every situation. More exemptions or options are needed.
223Review and update the current regulations regarding trash
receptical screening
The current provisions regulating screening of trash dumpsters do not take into account recycling and are often too small for the
needs of the facility. Additionally, the UDC does not address locational requirements such as those affecting service truck access.
2 24 Clarify vehicle stacking area requirements for various uses
The UDC outlines the minimum vehicle stacking spaces required for certain land uses such as drive-throughs, gas stations, and
banks. However, how that is to be measured is not clear in all instances. Additionally, the number of spaces required should be
reviewed and potentially updated.
Section 9.04
2 25 Consider allowing tandem parking
Consider adding language allowing tandem parking in certain situations. The UDC currently does not contemplate tandem parking and
more builders are starting to ask for its inclusion.Section 9.03.020
326Review temporary banner regulations to consider subdivision
banners Review temporary banner regulations to consider internal subdivision banners.
327Reconsider maximum height for monument signs when landscaping
is incorporated.Consider allowing an increase in maximum height permitted for monument signs when landscaping is incorporated at the base.
3 28 Reconsider allowing electronic signage
In 2009 the City considered revisions to the UDC that would allow electronic signage in the City. However, the proposed amendment
was turned down by both P&Z and City Council. Since that time, staff has continued to get numerous requests from the public to
reconsider allowing electronic signage. This item would bring the topic back to discussion.
129Update the UDC based on the pending updates to the Overall
Transportation Plan.Update various provisions of the UDC as may be necessary based on pending updates to the Overall Transportation Plan.Chapter 12
1 33 Review access requirements on numbered county roads. Review access requirements on numbered county roads to determine if any additional provisions should be considered. Section 12.08
134Address naming policies related to private streets and drives
internal to multi-tract developments.
Consider applying the city’s street naming requirements for public streets to private driveways/streets that serve more than one
internal tract in order to address 911 issues identifying emergency locations.Section 12.06
Section 12.03
Section 12.05
Review sidewalk extension and design provisions and consider updates as may be necessary regarding upcoming Sidewalk Master
132
Consider updates to street standards to address current and
pending inconsistencies between different agencies and
documents.
When implementing new OTP (pending) and Fire Code (approved), consider new standard, alternative and contextual street cross
sections that account for public safety needs, traffic requirements and needs of private property in relation to public streets. Also,
there are current inconsistencies between current OTP design standards and the current UDC design standards. Additionally, the
city’s standards should be reviewed against Williamson County’s standards to address inconsistencies, especially related to any HB
1445 Agreement issues or potential updates.
231
Clarify what triggers the requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) and when an appeal may be made and review the
improvements that are considered or required.
The City needs to ensure we are adequately preparing for future roadways with plats, dedications and reservations. Clarification is
needed regarding when Traffic Impact Analyses are required and appealed, and how right-of-way is being planned to implement the
City’s Overall Transportation Plan, for example, adequate intersection right-of-way.
Parking
Signs
Transportation
130
Review and consider updates to the City’s provisions related to
connectivity (subdivision access points) between neighboring
developments.
Connectivity (subdivision access points) is extremely important to the function of our public safety and transportation network. In
process, design, and implementation, the City has not received adequate connection points and homeowners complain when streets
are connected. We need to globally reconsider the ratio, design, locations, and exemption process to protect traffic movement, public
safety access and ability to use street facilities as planned.
Based on experience with the provisions, staff has recognized the need to clarify the application of the street yard landscaping
requirements to projects located a great distance from the street as well as phased projects since, as written street yard landscaping
applies to yards defined by buildings, not areas. Additionally, clarification is needed regarding what areas are to be included or not
included in various landscape calculations.
322Review current nonresidential landscaping requirements with
regard to the city’s water conservation efforts.
Consider updates to the nonresidential landscaping requirements to address the ongoing drought conditions and incorporate
provisions to address water conservation efforts.

242Update various provisions of the UDC as may be necessary based
on updates to the Downtown Master Plan.Update various provisions of the UDC as may be necessary based on updates to the Downtown Master Plan.Chapter 12
343Consider adding limitations to certain uses to create a "transition
zone" between the Downtown and Old Town overlays.
Consider adding limitations to certain uses along the edge of the Downtown Overlay that are adjacent to residential uses outside the
overlay to create a "transition zone" between the Downtown and Old Town overlays.
244Consider creating additional design standards for residential infill
construction in the Old Town Overlay District
When the most recent update to the Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines were approved City Council in 2012, Council
requested staff bring back options for additional standards and review of new residential construction in the historic overlay districts.
In August of 2014, City Council held a workshop on residential infill design standards and directed staff to place the topic on the UDC
Amendment List for review. The goal is to create a set of standards for design of new residential structures that would preserve the
character of the Old Town Overlay District.
Alternative Energy/
Green Building
Provisions
345
Update codes to provide provisions for green building strategies
and ensure regulations do not unintentionally prohibit such
strategies
The UDC should be reviewed to ensure there are not unintentional barriers to utilization of sustainable energy, such as requiring solar
energy panels to be screened.
Section 12.07

Chapter 16
Downtown/Old
Town
Definitions 1 41
Revise various definitions for clarity or add new definitions as
needed.
Staff has come across several definitions that need clarity or definitions that are needed to provide clarity in other sections of the
UDC. Examples include clarification of street yard definition and consideration of the current contractor services, limited definition. In
addition this would include any revisions to definitions needed for other revisions made to the UDC.
Nonconforming
340Define process for determining nonconforming status and consider
if there are additional existing situations to exempt.
Staff currently receives requests for determination of nonconforming status, particularly abandonment status, and the process for this
determination should be clarified and included in the UDC.

wastewater improvements and extension requirements.
General review of language regarding utility improvements which have not been updated in some time, including extension policy for
plats and site plans. Review for updates, clarification of current policy and terminology. Includes Rural Residential Subdivision criteria
and standards. Also, update any regulations affecting provision of water in order to implement any changes that may result from the
potential merger with Chisholm Trail Special Utility District.
Parkland 1 36
Update provisions governing parkland dedication based on
forthcoming recommendations by the Parks & Recreation Board
subcommittee review.
A subcommittee of the Parks & Recreation Board has been created that is tasked with reviewing and providing recommended
changes regarding the city’s parkland provisions and policies.

within the C ity. T he a ached R esolution authorizes intervention in proceedings at the R ailroad C ommission including
any related commission and court proceedings.
S T A F F R E C O M M E N D AT I O N :
S taff recommends that C ouncil approves the C ity’s intervention in AP T’s pending rate proceeding at the R ailroad
C ommission as part of the coalition of similarly-situated municipalities known as the Atmos Texas M unicipalities (AT M ).

On or about January 6, 2017, Atmos Pipeline Texas (“APT” or “Atmos”) submitted a
Statement of Intent with the Railroad Commission of Texas to raise “Rate CGS” (“city
gate service”) and Rate PT (“pipeline transportation”). This request represents an
increase in revenue of approximately $72.9 million or a 17.38% increase over current
revenues.
The proposed increase directly affects the following firm transportation customers:
Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division; Co-Serv Gas Ltd.; the City of Rising Star; the
City of Navasota; Corix Utilities, Inc.; Terra Gas Supply; Terra Gas Service, Co.; and
WTG Marketing, Inc. In addition, there are 70 interruptible customers who take service
under “Rate PT – Pipeline Transportation” and that will be affected by this rate increase
request.
It is expected that Atmos MidTex (the distribution gas-utility company) will pass along to
its customers, APT’s proposed increase in rates. Thus, the rates that the City’s citizens
and businesses, and the City as a consumer of gas-utility services pay Atmos Texas
MidTex (the distribution gas-utility company), will likely be affected by APT’s proposed
rate increase.
On a rate schedule basis, the impact is as follows:

APT seeks a Return on Equity (ROE) of 13.5% and a capital structure weighted toward
equity – 59.83% Equity and 40.17% Debt. More recently the ROE the Railroad
Commission has approved have been materially lower than APT is requesting.
APT also seeks to revise its depreciation rates for its capital assets.
REPRESENTATION
The law firm of Herrera & Boyle, PLLC (through Mr. Alfred R. Herrera) has previously
represented the Atmos Texas Municipalities (“ATM”) in rate matters involving APT as
well as other Texas cities in rate case matters. Thus, the law firm of Herrera & Boyle,
PLLC has substantial experience in rate case matters generally and specifically in
dealings with APT and the Railroad Commission of Texas (“Commission”).
INTERVENTION AT THE RAILROAD COMMISSION OF TEXAS AND
COURT PROCEEDINGS, IF ANY
Atmos Pipeline Texas filed its Statement of Intent to raise rates with the Railroad
Commission of Texas. It is important to participate in the Commission’s proceedings
related to APT’s rate application because its final decision will impact rates within the
City. Thus, the accompanying Resolution authorizes intervention in proceedings at the
Railroad Commission including any related commission and court proceedings.
RATE CASE EXPENSES
Cities, by statute, are entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable rate case expenses
from the utility. Legal counsel and consultants approved by the City will submit monthly
invoices to a member ATM city that will be forwarded to APT for reimbursement.

ACTION: INTERVENTION IN THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
PROCEEDING PERTAINING TO APT’S RATE CASE
Unlike proceedings brought by gas distribution utilities to increase rates, Texas
municipalities do not have jurisdiction over the rates of gas pipeline companies. Under
Texas law, the Railroad Commission of Texas has exclusive original jurisdiction over the
rates of gas pipeline companies. Therefore, the City’s opportunity to evaluate and affect
APT’s proposed rate increase is to intervene as a party in the pending APT rate
proceeding at the Railroad Commission of Texas.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City authorize intervening in APT’s pending rate proceeding
at the Railroad Commission as part of the coalition of similarly-situated municipalities
known as the Atmos Texas Municipalities (ATM).
It is also recommended that the City retain the law firm of Herrera & Boyle, PLLC to
represent the City’s interest in matters related to APT’s rate proceeding at the Railroad
Commission, including any appeals, and to advise the City with regard to APT’s
application.
To ensure full participation in the proceedings at the Railroad Commission, it is
recommended that the City take action authorizing intervention at its earliest opportunity
in order to maximize the benefits of participation as a party in the proceedings at the
Railroad Commission.

Report Date: December 12, 2016
File No: CPA‐2016‐005
Project Planner: Matt Synatschk, Historic Planner
Item Details
Project Name: Project Cat OTP Amendment
Project Address: NE Inner Loop
Location: The proposed road is bounded by Airport Road, Aviation Drive,
Lakeway Drive and Intestate 35
Existing Use: Vacant/Undeveloped Land
Future Land Use: Moderate Density Residential
Proposed Future
Land Use: Employment Center
Overview of Applicant’s Request
The City of Georgetown is initiating an amendment to the Overall Transportation Plan to remove
a proposed future roadway to allow for development of an existing parcel without the property
being bifurcated by a public roadway.
The CPA application is a component of a submitted Planned Unit Development for the parcel in
question, the plans for which do not include the additional roadway for the completion of the
project.
Site Information
Location:
The proposed roadway is located east of the Georgetown Airport, and generally bounded by
Airport Road to the west, Aviation Drive to the north, Intestate Highway 35 to the east and
Lakeway Drive to the south.
The proposed road would provide a north – south connection from a future expansion of
Aviation Drive to Lakeway Drive.
Roadway History
The planned collector roadway was added to the City’s transportation plan by the way of the
Transportation Improvement Process (TIP) as a roadway that could provide economic
development benefits as several large parcels of land potential divided over time. The roadway
would provide access and alternative routes to Airport Road and IH‐35 for industrial and heavy
commercial uses. The parallel collector would also provide access to the proposed Aviation
Page 382 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Project Cat – Overall Transportation Plan Amendment Page 2 of 4
Drive extension, which intersects with the SH 130 frontage roads at IH‐35. A northern extension
beyond Aviation has long been planned to connect to a proposed mixed‐use development
currently known as Homestead at Berry Creek.
Transportation
Airport Road is a two‐way north‐south arterial presently and will expand capacity and safety
in the future. Staff has worked with developers in this area to provide for additional right‐of‐
way to include additional lanes and turning movements when needed. Airport Road is more
of a regional roadway, carrying traffic to the Airport, residences north of the airport, and
connects to Berry Creek Drive at its terminus. The collector proposed for removal is more of
an economic development‐driven internal roadway that is not regional in nature and would
provide for local trips, albeit at a commercial/industrial scale. IH‐35 provides southerly access
on the southbound frontage road and the three large parcels all currently have IH‐35
frontage. As they develop, cross‐access from Airport to IH‐35 will provided, either with
internal private drives or public roads.
2030 Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use:
The 2030 Future Land Use category for this subject site is Employment Center. The Employment
Center category is described in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as appropriate for undeveloped
land at strategic locations, designed for large scale employment and business activities. Uses may
include retail, services and high density residential development. The land use type may also
serve as a transitional zone between more intense commercial and residential areas.
Staff Analysis
The proposed roadway was determined to be a necessary connection for parcels located along
the corridor between Airport Road and Interstate Highway 35. However, the parcels are of
significant size, with many of them bordering the two roadways, that constructing a road
through the parcels would impact their future use for large employment center projects. In
addition, the size of the parcels allows for the developments to create interior streets, achieivng
the desired connectivity without the construction of a public road.
The UDC identifes that amendments to the 2030 Plan may be considered when the request
maintains sound, stable, and desirable development that is consistent with the goals and policies
of the 2030 Plan. Additionally, the UDC establishes approval criteria in analyzing the long term
effects of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Below is a summary of land use goals stated
within the 2030 Plan and used to evaluate this request. Additionally, an evaluation of the UDC
approval criteria is included with staff evaluation of each criteria statement.
Promote sound, sustainable, and compact development patterns with balanced land uses,
Page 383 of 426
Planning Department Staff Report
Project Cat – Overall Transportation Plan Amendment Page 3 of 4
a variety of housing choices, and well integrated transportation, public facilities, and open
space amenities.
Provide a development framework for the fringe that guides sound and sustainable
patterns of land use, limits sprawl, protects community character, demonstrates sound
stewardship of the environment, and provides for efficient provision of public services
and facilities as the City expands.
Attract desired forms of balanced development, creating quality urban, suburban, and
rural places that offer a choice of setting and lifestyle.
Encourage residential developments that are well‐connected to the larger community,
planned and designed to compliment the heritage and natural character of the City, and
offer a variety of housing types and price ranges.
Encourage sound, compact, and quality growth, including pedestrian‐friendly
development patterns that incorporate mixed‐uses, a variety of densities, and resource
conservation while accommodating public transportation, alternative fuel vehicles,
biking, and walking as convenient substitutes for automobile use.
Encourage the staged, orderly expansion of contiguous development to coincide with the
expansion of roads and infrastructure.
The proposed amendment to the Overall Transportation Plan complies with the review criteria
by allowing for large scale development that is consistent with the goals of the 2030 plan. The
proximity to the Georgetown Airport helps define the uses which will occupy parcels in the
gneral vicinity. Typically, those uses are commercial and industrial in nature, and may require
access to airport facilities.
The removal of the proposed roadway facilitates the development of the large parcels by keeping
them intact, allowing for larger employers and other commercial development to occur in an
orderly fashion, with enough acreage to accomplish their development needs while complying
with the Unified Development Code site design requirements.
Ultimately, the proposed amendment to the Overall Transportation Plan element of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan does not create an adverse impact for the future development of the
adjacent properties and encourages orderly growth within the existing infrastructure in the
region.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the Overall Transportation Plan.
Public Comments
As required by the Unified Development Code, all property owners within a 200 foot radius of
the subject property and within City jurisdiction (9 notices mailed) were notified of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment application. Additionally, a legal notice advertising the public
hearing was placed in the Sun Newspaper (December 4, 2016) and signs were posted on‐site. To
