DATE: November 21, 2005
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - December 1, 2005
ITEM: 8.B.5. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 11, Zoning, of the City of
Round Rock Code of Ordinances to add a C -la (General Commercial -
Limited) District. (First Reading)
Department: Planning and Community Development Department
Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Director
Justification: The proposed C -la (General Commercial - Limited) zoning district is an attempt
to provide greater flexibility in assigning commercial zoning. Currently, the City only has two
commercial zoning districts: C -1 (General Commercial) and C -2 (Local Commercial).
C -1 zoning is generally limited to the intersection of two arterial roadways. This type of
commercial zoning is fairly permissive and allows for commercial development with a regional
market. C -2 is intended for a much smaller market, typically just nearby neighborhoods, and is
therefore permitted on smaller roadways closer to residential property. Because of this close
proximity, C -2 zoning includes very restrictive use and design standards to ensure compatibility
between the commercial development and the adjacent residences.
While the clear distinction between these two commercial zoning districts has been helpful
in determining the appropriate location for C -1 and C -2 zoning, it has also made it difficult to site
commercial developments that are less intense than C -1 but more intense than C -2. In order to
remedy this problem, staff recommends the adoption of a new limited commercial zoning district,
C -la (General Commercial - Limited). This new district would be allowed closer to neighborhoods
because it would be more restrictive than C -1, but it would also allow a wider range of uses than
C -2 allows.
The following location criteria provide a practical guideline for determining the
appropriateness of the City's commercial zoning districts (including the proposed C -la district):
C -1: Generally located at the intersection of two arterial roadways.
C -la: Generally located at the intersection of an arterial and a collector.
C -2: Generally located at the intersection of two collector roadways.
In addition to roadway considerations, other factors in determining the appropriate
commercial zoning for a proposed development include:
• The type of market the development will serve.
• The amount and nature of the traffic that the development will generate.
• The zoning of nearby properties, especially residential properties.
The proposed C -la zoning district will be much more similar to C -1 than to C -2, with almost
all of the same development standards applying to both. The only exceptions are listed below:
• C -la will have a prohibition against mirrored glass. (C -2 has this prohibition while C -1 does not.)
• C -la will specify acceptable roofing materials. (C -2 has this requirement while C -1 does not.)
• C -la will only permit light fixtures to be 25 feet high. (C -2 sets the maximum height at 20
feet and C -1 sets the maximum height at 30 feet.)
• C -la will only allow monument signs except on IH -35 and SH 45.
The other differences between the proposed C -la and C -1 are found in the uses permitted by
each district. The attached comparison highlights these differences.
In addition to this comparison, the draft version of the new district is also included in your
packet.
Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information: The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval of the new zoning district at its November 2, 2005, meeting.
Public Comment: A public hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Commission on 11 -2 -05.
