DATE: April 16, 2009
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — April 23, 2009
ITEM: 9A1. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 11, Code of Ordinances, regarding
community recreational facilities. (First Reading)
Department:
Staff Person:
Justification:
Planning and Community Development
Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director
The proposed amendment would allow large Community Recreational Facilities to be constructed as
fabric tension buildings, which currently do not meet the design standards of the PF -3 (Public Facilities —
High Intensity) or OS (Open Space) districts. The buildings will instead meet special standards for
appearance.
The amendment would apply only to buildings owned or operated by the City which contain a minimum
of 40,000 square feet of enclosed area. The West Side Recreation Center planned for a site adjacent to
the Krebsbach Pool off of Deepwood Drive would be a fabric tension structure and the amended
regulations would apply.
Funding:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: N/A
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed revision at their meeting
on March 11, 2009, after requesting assurance that the building would be subject to adequate
regulations regarding its appearance.
Public Comment:
Public notice was posted and a public hearing held in accordance with the City of Round Rock's Zoning
Ordinance at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on March 11, 2009.
