Agenda Item No. 10C1.
Consider an ordinance zoning 157.385 acres of land located along Kenney Fort Boulevard
between US 79 and Brushy Creek to Planned Unit Development (PUD) No. 91 zoning
Agenda Caption: district. (Second Reading)
Meeting Date: March 8,2012
Department: Planning and Development Services
Staff Person making presentation: Peter Wysocki
Planning and Development Services Director
Item Summary:
The subject property is located south of US 79 (Palm Valley Boulevard)and north of Brushy Creek, along the right-of-
way for Kenney Fort Boulevard. The construction of Kenney Fort Boulevard from US 79 south to Forest Creek
Boulevard will provide access to the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval of this PUD at its February 1, 2012 meeting. The Commission had thoroughly reviewed the PUD during
three separate meetings and supports this opportunity to develop the site as a mixed-use center.
The PUD proposes a development plan for the property which is distinct from other development in Round Rock.
The development plan utilizes Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) principles. Land uses are based upon
five zoning districts or 'frontage types': (1) Main Street; (2) Business Park; (3) Live/Work; (4) Townhouse; and (5)
Arterial Frontage. In addition, the street designs proposed are separate and distinct from the City's typical streets.
There are eight street types proposed: (1) Commercial — 62 feet; (2) Collector — 62 feet; (3) Urban — 60 feet; (4)
Urban—50 feet; (5) Urban One-Way—50 feet; (6)Alley—20 feet; (7) Collector—68 feet; and (8) Commercial Alley—
20 feet.
Land uses provided for in the development plan include: retail, office, hotels, multifamily, single family attached,
manufacturing, and storage and warehouse. Prohibited uses include automobile sales and automobile related retail
services and single family attached residential. The development plan includes a regulating plan, which contains the
street grid, frontage types, street types, open space and other features. Development is required to follow the
pattern of development prescribed by the layout. As portions of the project are developed, the street system and
open spaces will be constructed.
The Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) principles that the plan is based on include clustering retail and
services together on the same street in order to reduce short vehicle trips within the area; locating the parking
behind the buildings and providing broad, shaded sidewalks in front of the buildings; providing moderately dense
residential housing in close proximity to the retail and service areas to encourage walking; and requiring buildings to
be close to the sidewalks through the use of build-to lines instead of building setback lines. The design guidelines
specify how each land use and street type must be developed in order to achieve these TND principles.
The property owner acknowledges that this development concept is unique to Round Rock and that the specific
design requirements will limit the marketing of the property to those who desire what,a TND offers.
