READ and APPROVEDj(or rr ahis the /LI day of , 2004. READ, APPROVED and ADOPTED on second reading this the day of ST: CHRISTINE R. MARTINEZ, City Secretary , 2004. — 'TTELL Mayor Round Rock, Texas NY City o 13 Memorandum TO: Mayor Nyle Maxwell and members of City Council FROM: Susan Brennan, AICP, Principal Planner RE: Proposed Text Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance DATE: June 4, 2004 Below is a summary of proposed text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The amendments attempt to resolve a number of recurring issues staff has encountered since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in May 2002. Outdoor Storage Amendments Staff proposes to permit "General Outdoor Storage" in the C -1 district. General Outdoor storage includes all types of storage beyond the currently permitted limited outdoor storage and outdoor display. The total prohibition against general outdoor storage in the C -1 district has proven unrealistic and impractical. Most large retailers depend on some outdoor storage to maintain their current operations. 1. Amend Section 11.505 (2) (Permitted Outdoor Display and Storage Table) Add an "X" to C -1 column to permit "General Outdoor Storage" in the C -1 district with conditions. 2. Amend Section 11.505 (3 c) by adding the following text: In the General Commercial (C -1) district, shipping containers, conexes, and semi - trailers shall not be stacked. 3. Amend Section 11.505 (3 c) by adding the following text : General Outdoor Storage in the General Commercial (C -1) district shall be screened from any public right -of -way or abutting property by means of a masonry wall that provides complete screening of the storage. The construction materials of the wall shall match material used on the principal building located on the same lot. 4. Amend Section 11.505 (3 a) by adding the following text: Outdoor display located more than 10 feet from the wall of a principal building shall be fenced in by a masonry, wrought iron or similar material fence /wall. The location and fencing of such a display shall be approved by the Planning Director. Staff is also proposing to remove the three existing definitions of storage contained in the glossary since the definitions are simply a restatement of the regulations contained within the ordinance itself. 5. Amend Section 11.802 to remove the following definitions: Outdoor Display; Storage, general outdoor; & Storage, limited outdoor. Historic Preservation Commission Amendments Staff also proposes to add a provision for an alternate to be appointed to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). At times, it is difficult to get a quorum for HPC meetings. Staff would like to call on an alternate if a meeting may be cancelled due to lack of quorum. 1. Amend Section 11.203 (3 a) by adding the following text: The HPC shall consist of five members and one alternate member. 2. Amend Section 11.203 (4 f) Remove the statement that a majority of members constitute a quorum and replace with the following text: Three members shall constitute a quorum for transaction of business and no decision shall be rendered without a concurring vote of at least three members. The alternate member shall have the right to vote only when participation is necessary to constitute a quorum. C -1 (General Commercial) District Amendment Presently, the C -1 district permits single family detached housing in the Downtown Reinvestment Zone (generally, the area bounded by IH -35 to the west, Georgetown St.. to the east, McNeil Rd. to the south, and Brushy Creek to the north). Single family attached (duplex) housing was inadvertently omitted as a permitted use in the Downtown Reinvestment Zone. Since there are existing duplexes within this area, staff proposes to permit this use in the C -1 district provided it is located in the Downtown Reinvestment Zone. This will minimize non - conformity within the district. 1. Amend Section 11.409 by including "Single Family Attached Houses" (2 dwelling units) as uses permitted with conditions in the C -1 (General Commercial) zoning district. 2. Amend Section 11.423 (24), Supplementary Use standards by adding the following text: Single - Family detached dwelling units and Single Family Attached houses (2 dwelling units) are permitted only in the downtown reinvestment zone. 3. Modify Appendix A, Summary Use Table, to reflect this use change. 2 Landscaping Amendments Upon application of the landscaping provisions, some clarifications are needed in order to facilitate the use of the ordinance, specifically with respect to screening requirements: 1. Amend Section 11.501 (4b): intro paragraph By including outdoor storage as a use that requires screening. 2. Amend Section 11.501 (4b) (k) Specify that this section applies only to trash receptacles & dumpsters. Remove outdoor storage from the heading and from first paragraph. 3. Amend Section 11.501 (4b) (ii) (1) Modify text to state the following: Decorative masonry wall (minimum six feet [6'.01 in height). Where a gate is part of the design, said gate shall be an opaque non - masonry gate. The construction materials of the wall shall match material used on the principal building located on the same lot; and 4. Insert 2 new subsections to Section 11.501(46) to address screening of outdoor storage and loading docks/areas: Outdoor Storage All outdoor storage shall be screened in accordance with the requirements listed of Section 11.505. In addition, outdoor storage shall be screened by the following landscape elements: For limited outdoor storage: One small tree per fifteen (15) linear feet of wall constructed (75% of selected material shall be of an evergreen species); and One large shrub per four (4) linear feet of wall constructed. For general outdoor storage: One medium tree per thirty (30) linear feet of wall constructed (75% of selected material shall be of an evergreen species); and One small tree per fifteen (15) linear feet of wall constructed (75% of selected material shall be of an evergreen species); and One large shrub per four (4) linear feet of wall constructed. 3 Loading Docks All loading docks shall be screened by means of the following screening and landscaping elements: 1. Decorative masonry wall (minimum six feet [6'.01 in height). Where a gate is part of the design, said gate shall be an opaque non - masonry gate. The construction materials of the wall shall match material used on the principal building located on the same lot; and 2. One medium tree per thirty (30) linear feet of wall constructed (75% of selected material shall be of an evergreen species); and 3. One small tree per fifteen (15) linear feet of wall constructed (75% of selected material shall be of an evergreen species); and 4. One large shrub per four (4) linear feet of wall constructed. 4 DATE: SUBJECT: ITEM: Department: Staff Person: Justification: June 4, 2004 Funding: Cost: Source of funds: Outside Resources: City Council Meeting - June 10, 2004 12.C.1.
