Project Description The City of Round Rock plans to use Economic Development Administration Funds (EDA) Section 304 grant funds to construct approximately 7000L.F. of a 12" water transmission line to connect the northwest of the City to two new water wells.(Map The variance in ground elevation in the City of Round Rock's water service area necessitates different service levels to permit consumer service within desired maximum and minimum pressure limits. Ground elevation rises steadily from east to west with highest elevation lying in the northwest section (Old Town). Generally elevation varies within the Round Rock area from approximately 620 feet in the east to 990 feet in the northwest. Water to the northwest (Old Town Area) is currently provided from the east, a lower pressure plane. This causes water pressure during peak water use condi- tions to be extremely low (12 -20 P.S.I.) The inadequate water distribution System to the northwest hampers the area's economic development. Recently the City contracted for and located around water in the northwest. Water wells pumping from the Edwards Aqiufer provide the only source of water for the City of Round Rock at the present time. The only treatment that is required is gas chlorination prior to entering ground storage tanks. EDA grant funds will be used tie the new wellsinto the City's water distribution system. Lines will be laid in existing road right - of - way. 2. Beneficiaries The beneficiaries of the proposed project are the persons employed to construct the water lines and those that are employed in existing and future business and industrial complex in the northwest area along with current and future residents of the area. With the construction of "7000 L.F. of 12" water line to connect two new water wells into the water distrubtion system of the north- west area. Water presure during peak water use will be increased to 45 -65 P.S.I. in the northwest area. The area would then be in compliance with the Texas State Board of Insurance requirements for equalization and emergency service. There are presently 415 residential units and 28 business and industrial facilities in the northwest area. There are platted plans for the construction of a re- - gional shoping center, commerical development, completion of two industrial parks and 150 residential units. Air emissions, solid wastes and waste -water effluent associated with the operation of each of the existing and /or future beneficiaries of the water line are anticipated to be normal to that type which is associated to urban development.

It is felt that the overall impact of the project will be a beneficial one, both from an economic development standpoint and environmental. 3. Description ofthe Project Area The project will be located in the northwest area of the City. The area approximately 800 acres is,commonly know as Old Town. It is bordered on the east by I -35 on the south by Brushy Creek, North Chandler Road and west the City limits line. Old Town was the original 1900 settlement area of the City. With the building of the railroad,business and other econimic activities in the Old Town Area were moved to the Central Area of the Cityadjunctthe railroad. The present land use in the Old Town Area is mixed. (Map II- A -8 -1) 9 percent business use 11 percent industrial 25 percent residential 55 percent vacant The vestiges of the original Round Rock remains in the Old Town Area. The historic Round Rock is located in the area along with several 19th century structures in varying stages of soundness. A major cemetery which contains a slave cemetery and the grave of Texas outlaw Sam Bass is within the area. The population the area is forty one percent minority (Black and Mexican American). The occupation characteristic of the population is Professional 13% Managers & Administrators 5% Sales Workers 8% Service Workers 21% Craftsmen 23% Other occupations 12% Unemployed or retired 18% The class of worker in the Old Town Area is Salary wage 95% Self- employed 4% Unpaid family worker 1% If implemented as proposed, the project will provide temporary employment for residents of the area and community during project construction and permanent employment to area and community residents following construction. Disturbance to the environment of the area would include minor construction noise and dust as well as the environmental clearing of unierbrush and vegetation and exca- vation necessary to prepare the right -of -way for placing of the water lines. 17 MAP II -A -8 -1 EXISTING LAND USE / ZONING ROUND ROCK, TEXAS INTENSIVE STUDY AREA MAP PLANNING AREA BOUNDARY - -�� APPROXIMATE SCALE 600 0 600 1200 - - 1900 FEET 0 -SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES SINGLE AND TWO FAMILY 'RESIDENCES FROM= City of Round Rock Zoning Map, 1980. -MULTI- FAMILY RESIDENCE 9Yl• - GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT . 18 I ✓' - LOCAL BUSINESS DISTRICT -LIGHT INDUSTRY - HEAVY INDUSTRY 4. Environmental Impact a. Air Quality The Round Rock Planning Area lies in Region 3 as designated by the Texas Air Control Board. There are no ambient air quality monitoring stations (continuous or non - continuous) in the planning area or immediate vicinity. The nearest continuous air monitoring station (CAMS) to the planning area is located in north Austin (Travis County) on Shoal Creek Drive. This CAMS lies approximately 18 miles to the southwest of the planning area. While the data collected at the north Austin CAMS are not totally applicable to Round Rock it is, nevertheless, instructive in analyzing regional air quality. Population density and size is much higher in Austin than in Round Rock. The industrial mix is somewhat similar in that both cities have light high technology type industries that create few emmissions. Based on population and industrial mix, one would expect ambient air quality to be much better in Round Rock than in Austin. Table II -A -8 -1 presents CAMS data from north Austin and national ambient air quality standards for various parameters. No special efforts to mitigate particularly adverse effects are believed necessary for this project. It is felt that every effort will be made by the city in the planning and construction of new development as a result of this project to see that the air quality standards are met.. b, Water Quality The planning area is drained by Brushy Creek which lies in the San Gabriel River watershed. The San Gabriel River is a tributary to the Brazos River. There are no major surface water impoundments in the planning area. The watershed's area is 505 square miles (1,308 KM). The headwaters of Brushy Creek begin in south central Williamson County. Brushy Creek flows in a generally eastern direction to its confluence with the San Gabriel River. The San Gabriel River flows into the Little River which then flows to the Brazos River in Milam County. Brushy Creek's confluence with the San Gabriel River is near Rockdale in Milani County. Flow data for the San Gabriel River watershed is somewhat limited. The U.S. Geological Survey maintains a gauging station on Brushy Creek near Farm Road 908 in Milam County. This gauging station is approximately 5.3 miles northwest of Rockdale. The period of record is from July 1967 to the current year. The • Maximum recorded discharge during this period was 11,000 cubic feet per second (CFS), with a daily minimum discharge of 7.3 CFS. The average discharge of the creek was 210 CFS during the period of record giving an annual discharge of 152,100 acre feet. Maximum flood stage on Brushy Creek was reported at 54.5 feet in September 1921 which was probably the flood of record. There are no major surface water impoundments in the planning area although north of Round Rock, the North Fork Reservoir on the North Fork of the San Gabriel River is under construction with impoundment of waters expected to occur in early 1980. This reservoir, located near Georgetown, is a federally funded project constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -Fort Worth District. Round Rock will purchase water from this reservoir from the Brazos River Authority. 19 1 1 1 1111 1 1- 1 1 1 1- 1 M 1 ' rt„ �,; y:, F' l�r: r, t� %'•��rt /•�'3'a'�%avz.'y:s:i +��y f{ r';" i, ti�? io- :,5�'3+�t�.rr'r;?s?a•:�5:�.���a ,iea:i ^..;n,.. r , �,.,.... ,. .r :• Ambient Air Quality CAMS 3 - Austin, Texas Maximum Allowable (NAAQS) High One Hour Average 0.11 6.9 . 7.2 8.5 . 2.7 0.03 0.01 0.01 0.09 0.93 117 (24 hr Max) • Second High One Hour Average 0.11 6.0 7.1 8.5 2.7 0.03 0.01 0.01 0.08 0.92 116 (2nd Highest) Arithmetic Mean of One Hour Averages 0.03 0.2 0.4 1.7 1.4 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.01 0.03 65 Arith Mean Arithmetic Standard Deviation of One Hour Averages 0.02 0.4 0.4 0.5 0.2 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.01 0.05 24 Std.

Agriculture, urban land uses and treated wastewater effluents are the major factors that determine water quality in Brushy Creek. Upstream of Round Rock, water quality in Brushy Creek is believed to be very good but deteriorates as the creek receives runoff from urban lands and discharges of treated wastewater effluents. Geologic structures in the upper watershed, primarily limestones, create an alkaline condition in the creek with high dissolved solids. More water quality investigations are warranted which would assist in identifying water quality problems. What water quality analysis has been done indicated high fecal coliform counts indicative of inadequately treated wastewater or agricultural pollution. Major groundwater aquifers in the planning area and vicinity are the Hensel and the Edwards. All of these aquifers are freshwater bearing. Outcrops of aquifers in Williamson County are presented on mapll- A- 8 -2.The most important aquifier in Williamson County is the Edwards with a yield of 0 - 750 gallons per minute.

Water levels indicate that artesian con- ditions occur on the downthrown side of faults near Georgetown and Round Rock. Recharge to the Edwards occurs principally by infiltraiton of water from streams crossing the outcrop. Direction of groundwater movement is believed to be controlled by the regional dip of the Edwards and secondarily by joints and fractures associated with the Balcones Fault zone. Generally, groundwater movement is northeastward. A municipal well near Round Rock had a reported yield of 310 gpm while a well near Georgetown had a yield of 759 gpm. The Hensel Sand Aquifer recharges primarily in Burnet County where the forma- tion outcrops and from the overlying Glen Rose formation and the underlying Cow Creek limestone. Pumping tests of a well at Florence with a screened intreval of 28 feet indicated a transmissibility of 1,780 gallons per day per foot for the Hensel Sand. Texas Water Development Board records report sus- tained yields from this aquifer in Williamson County at 90 - 100 gpm. Minor aquifers and water bearing formations in Williamson County include the Austin Chalk, the Taylor- Navarro Group, the Midway Group, the Wilcox Group, quaternary terrace and alluvium. Water quality analysis by the Texas Health Department of water distributed in the Round Rock water system revealed magnesium was the dominant cation and calcium the dominant anion. Table E A -8 -2 presents water quality analysis of drinking water in the planning area. Currently, water supply is from groundwater but the City will be partially converting to surface water sources. Except for total dissolved solids, ground water quality in Round Rock is well within established standards.

If the project is not implemented the northwest area will continue to have low water preasure and city will not be able to attract new development to the area. I_t is felt that the overall impact of the poject will be a beneficial one. C. Solid Wast Management The only solid waste anticipated or even considered a possibility are rocks and frieght packing. Rocks less than six (6) inches in size will be placed back into the trench and packed. Large rocks over six inches will be cleared from the construction sight along with unrecycleable friegh't packing and hauled to a land -fill. The City of Round Rock has a contract with the City of Georgetown for the dis- posal of solid waste. d. Land Use /Description The City of Round Rock has a zoning ordinance and a general plan which governs land use in the city. The General Plan, for planning purposes, has divided the City and the Extra - territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) into 15 planning dist. The most salient spatial characteristics of the planning districts are discussed in the Gerenal Plan. . The proposed project is in district 14. Generally, Round Rock and its ETJ is an area in transition from a largely agricultural economy -- to an - urban area with a diversified industrial mix. Map II -A -8 -1 presents existing land uses in the planning area and vicinity Map II - - - present the future land use. The future anticipated land use for the project area (Planning District 14) is new light industrial and commercial development. In order to translate land - use expectation to a quantitative representation, absorption ratios have been developed for each of the land -use categories discussed in 3. These absorption ratios express the number of acres committed to a given type of land use per 100 persons. Table II -8 -A -3 depicts the absorption rations and projected 24 1 1 1 '. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ILLUSTRATION L' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 FUTURE LAND USE ROUND ROCK, TEXAS INTENSIVE STUDY AREA MAP EH INTENSITY AREA!

With the present water system unable to meet current water useage demands it is very unlikely the projected commerical and industrial development will be realized without this project. e. Transportation In 1979, almost all personal trips made in the planning area were made by auto- mobile. The planning area currently is not served by public mass transportation with the exception of bus service provided to students by the Round Rock Independent School District. Map II -8 -A -4 shows the major highways in the Round Rock area. The primary north -south highway in the planning area is Interstate Highway 35 which goes south to Austin and north to Waco and Dallas. The major east -west routes include U.S. Highway 79 and Farm to Market Road 620. The highway system ser- vicing Round Rock is excellent and will meet area needs beyond the 20 year planning period. The nearest airport to the planning area that provides regularly scheduled com- mercial air service is the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport in Austin. The Georgetown Municipal Airport, north of Round Rock and the Tims Airport are the nearest private aviation facilities. 27 ,ASE MAP `• -• -_� ? Vki f -- The Missouri- Pacific Railroad provides rail service south and east. The Georgetown Railroad provides a spur to the Missouri - Kansas -Texas Railroad which has a service area north of Round Rock. Intercity bus service is provided by Arrow Coach Lines, Greyhound lines and Continental Trailways. The existing transportation system in Round Rock can safely accommodate the in -. creased traffic as result of the proposed poject. The City of Round Rock has adopted a thoroughfare plan which addresses anticipated traffic needs. f. National Environment If the proposed action is not implemented, the following conditions could impact the planning area. 1. Beneficial Impacts There would be no commitment of capital, material, labor or energy. Construction disturbance including erosion, siltation,scarred topography and construction - related noise would not occur. Any potential threat to heretofore unidentified historic or archaeological sites might be eliminated. Potential disruption of wildlife habitats would be prevented. Elements of the City of Round Rock's infrastructure including traffic circulation, police, fire and other municipal services would not be over- taxed. Secondary growth into undeveloped area could be delayed until the City funded the project. Obviously, the availability of water, sewer and other utilities influences where growth takes place and to some extent the amount of growth. The City of Round Rock, in anticipation of rapid population growth, has developed a general.plan which manages growth, preserves his- toric areas and open space. 2. Adverse Impacts If the project is notrealized the project area will continue to have low water pressure. This alternative is unacceptable given the real possibility that a substantial area of Round Rock could experience a water shortage. g. Human Population The project will not result in the relocation of any person, or business. The project area and planning area are in a transition from a rural agricultural based community to an urban mixed industries based community. It is expected that the Round Rock area will continue this transition due to the developmental pressures from Austin. Future land use and transportation change and population growth will probably not pose a significant impact on the area air quality. 29 h. Construction Disturbance to the environment would include minor construction noise and dust as well as the clearing of vegetation and excavation necessary to prepare for the laying of water lines. In general, the comments noted in item C Solid Waste Management respond to these temporary disturbance5of the environment. i. Historical Permanent settlement in Round Rock as it is known today;.began in the early 1800's, with imigrants coming from a variety of nations. These settlers were farmers and ranchers with their heritage carrying over to today. The Chisholm cattle drive crosses Round Rock on the way to Waco and Texas. There are numerous historical sites, building, cemeteries and related resources throughout the planning area. Many sites are located in the project area as it was the orginal town site. The Inn at Brushy Creek in the Project area is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeologically and historically, the Round Rock planning area has a heritage with human occupation of the area represented by four cultural stages: Paleo- Indian, Archaic, Neo- American, and historic. This broad chronological framework within which the area of Texas is ordered was presented in 1954 in the "Handbook for Texas Archaeology" (Sukon, Kreiger and Felks, 1954). These periods, their time and way of life are briefly described as follows 1) Paleo- Indian, 9500 -5500 B.C. mammoth, bison hunting, seasonal moving, small bands composed of several families. 2) Archaic, 5500 B.C. to A.D. 800, hunting of small game, gathering wild plants, seasonal movement, small bands composed of several families. 3) Neo- American, A.D. 800 -1600, hunting, and gathering, marginal agricul- ture in some areas, tribal and confederacy groups. 4) Historic, A.D. 1600 - 1800, introduction of the horse and eventual ex- termination or removal of the Indian. In late 1963, the Texas Archaeological Salvage Project (TASP) conducted a preliminary archaeological survey of the San Gabriel River watershed in and around three proposed federally authorized reservoirs (Laneport, North Fork and South Fork) which lie north and northeast of the Round Rock planning area. This survey dealt primarily with the Poleo- Indian, Archaic, and Neo - American periods. The survey was conducted under a memorandum of agreement between the National Park Service and the University of Texas at Austin as part of the Inter - Agency Archeological salvage program. The survey was extremely limited with all work directed toward locating, recording and surface - collecting archaeological material. Nevertheless, 109 archaeological sites were recorded. While this survey was for the purpose of locating archaeological resources in response to proposed reservoir projects north of the planning area, it never- theless reveals the rich archaeological history of the region. An archaeologi- cal survey or review of previous investigations may be warranted. The State Historic Preservation Officer and archaeologists at the Texas Department of Water Resources will be consulted to insure that proposed project elements do not impact potential archaeological resources that may exist in the planning area. 30 5. Outside Reaction To Project The City of Round Rock has not received any negative comments about• the project. The project hasreceived' the indorsement of the: Williamson County Commissioner Court Round Rock Chamber of Commerce Governor of Texas Round Rock Planning and Zoning Commission Round Rock City Council Capital Area Planning Council State Rep. Dan Kubiak Texas Department of Community Affairs Copie_ of letters of support are on the following pages. 6. Cumulative Impact This project does not relate to any other federal project completed in the Very recent past. 7. Adverse Impact a) Alternatives The alternatives available consist primarily of the schedule under which the water line is initiated and means by which such improvements are financed. The City must improve the water distribution system in the project area to serve the existing development in the area. b) Action To Limit Adverse Impact In general, the comments noted in Items IV -3 and 4 respond to the question. c) Local Controls: The following regulatory agencies exist to limit the adverse impact. Texas Department Health Texas Air Control Board State Board of Insurance 8. Certification on Clean Air and Water Act The attached certification states the city is not listed on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list of Violating Facilities. It further certifies that the applicant will not use any contractors on the project who are listed as violating facilities. 31 The Honorable Larry L.

TDCA funds will be provided through a contract to reimburse the city for certain costs incurred in connection with the project and approved by EDA. TDCA will proceed immediately to draft a contract for your considera- tion. Mr. John Clary of our staff will be in touch with the city staff concerning the contract terminology. We must caution you that there are specific deadlines that must be met. TDCA portion of the funds for this project must, and we emphasize must be expended prior to August 31, 1980; and these expenditures are contingent upon approval of the Economic Development Administration. Any TDCA appropriations not expended by that date will lapse and are not recover- able. For this reason you must meet the deadline placed by the Governor which requires your application to be submitted to EDA prior to May 1, 1980. You will need to check your anticipated costs very closely. You may be able to use much of the $18,750 of TDCA funds for engineering costs in preparing plans and specifications and construction documents. Should there be remaining funds, these can be used to reimburse the city for construction costs, but should you need to incur any construction costs, the city will need to secure EDA approval in time to award a construction contract by August 1, 1980.

Problem Summary The variance in ground elevation in the City of Round Rock's water service area necessitated different service levels to permit consumer service within desired maximum and minimum pressure limits. Ground Elevation raises steadily from east to west with highest elevation lying in the northwest section (Old Town). Generally elevation varies within the Round Rock area from approximately 620 feet in the east to 990 feet in the north.. Water to the northwest (Old Town Area) is currently provided from the east, a lower pressure plane. This causes water pressure during peak water use con- ditions to be extremely low (12 -20 P.S.I.) The inadequate water distribution system to the Old Town Area hampers the area's economic development. As re- commended by the H & K report, the City of Round Rock contracted for and located ground water in the northwest. Water wells pumping from the Edwards Aquifer provide the only source of water for the City of Round Rock at the present time. The only treatment that is required is gas chlorination prior to entering ground storage tanks. b. Local Initated and Activites Summary Community Development Strategy The Community Development Strategy for the City of Round Rock consist es- sentially of three levels of planning and management. The levels are (1) general plan that considers all aspects of municipal development, including residential and industrial development, transportation, housing, health, and other major aspects of community life (2) planning which focuses sharply on revitilization, conservation, and protection rather than large scale demoli- tion and redevelopment and (3) planning concerned with the development of a particular facility or the needs of a single service area. The General Plan contains policy statementsandcommunity development strategies to improve the community and promote its economic growth. Summarized below are the general goal, community development strategies to improve the community and promote economic growth and major strategy accomplishments in the last five years. POPULATION General Goal To encourage population growth through residential development, that is con- tinuous and compact, to avoid large vacant land tracts and partially developed subdivisions; yet densities should be low enough to permit sufficient light, air, and space for landscaping, recreation, service yards, and off - street parking. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goal The means by which the desired population densities will be obtained are through zoning regulations and the City's influence upon the direction of future growth as exercised through subdivision control and policies concerning utility and street extensions. 40 Major Strategy Accomplishments 1975 - 80 The City of Round Rock has revised its Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. These ordinances are administrated by the Planning and Community Development De- partment of the City. A Planning and Zoning Commission appointed by the City Council of Round Rock to serve as a legislative body to study and make recommen- dations to the council on all zoning and subdivision requests has been main- tained by the City. A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for street, parks, utilities and public facilities improvements has been developed by the City Staff and approved by the City Council. The voters of the City have approved the bonds for the CIP program. FUTURE GROWTH General Goals To direct future growth in a manner to take advantage of areas that are desirable for residential, commercial, and /or industrial development due to their location, topography, and beauty. To encourage a balancedgrowth pattern around a common cente, preferably the Central Business District. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goals Encouragement of residential development to the south as Lake Creek provides a natural screen from the railroad, the topography affords good drainage and trees supply natural beauty. Since the greater part of future population growth in Round Rock is expected work in Austin, expansion southwest, in Planning District f should be encouraged. Industrial development should be encouraged to the North as Interstate 35 has limited vehicular crossing to grade separ re- stricted the number of east -west crossing,thereby inhibiting_residential,develop- ment of the western side of highway (Planning District14). The Interstate serves as a buffer separating the industrial development from residential and commercial development on the east. Major Strategy Accomplishments 1975 - Sixty six percent of all new residential development has been located in the south. Twenty five percent of all new residential and ninety percent of all commercial development has been located in the north east. Ninty seven percent of all industrial development has been in the north . LAND USE Goals To encourage the most effective use of land to meet the present and future needs of the community. To alleviate and eliminate deficiencies and problems inherent in the City's existing land use pattern. 41 Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goals The means by which the desired land use will be obtained are through subdivision regulations and the City's influence upon the direction of future land use as exercised through zoning control and policies concerning utility and street ex- tensions. Encourage two - family and multi family dwelling uses near major thoroughfares and principal collector streets. - Commercial centers should be established to serve specific service areas. Scenic areas within the community particularly along Brushy Creek should be pre- served and enhanced as a part of a city wide parks system to insure accessibility to the residents of Round Rock. In the northern and western portions of the city, industrial uses should be en- couraged. In the south and eastern portions of the city residential and community develop- ment should be encouraged. Improve vehicular circulation system to meet the demands of future development. Preservation of Old Town. Major Strategy Accomplishments 1975 -80 The City of Round Rock has revised its zoning map and subdivision ordinance. These ordinances are administrated by the Planning and Community Development Department of the City. The City of Round Rock has developed a Park System. The Park System is admini- strated by the Parks Department of the City. All developers of new residential subdivisions are encouraged to set aside an area for a park. Five new industries have located in the north. HOUSING Goal Take steps to prevent development of additional blighted areas and to eliminate those now- existing to insure that all citizens of Round Rock have adequate housing. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goals The means by which the condition and quality of housing will be safe guarded by the City are through maintenance of minimum housing standards. All Living units houses within the urbanized area of the community should meet the following re- quirements: 1. Structurally safe and in good repair, providing the occupants with full and complete protection from the elements. 2. Provided with running water, bath, hot and cold, a private inside toilet, 42 or kitchen sink, bath or showers, electicity, and connections to a sanitary sewer or a properly operating septic tank. 3. Provided with adequate natural light and ventilation in all rooms, screens for all windows and doors as protection against insects, outside windows or other adequate ventilation, adequate and safe heating facilities, and protection against rodents or other vermin. 4. Of sufficient size relative to the number of persons in the family based on a maximum of one and one -half persons per room; 5. Situated on properly graded lots so that no water stands beneath the building or upon the premises with each lot large enough to provide yard space for play areas for children, and for other normal outdoor family activities. Every residential area in the city should have certain essential characteristics, as follows: 1. Essential utilities and neighborhood facilities; 2. Adequate park and recreational area; 3. Access to major arterial highways and thoroughfares; 4. Heavy traffic route around or outside defined neighborhoods; 5. Safe and convenient access to schools, parks, and shopping facilities; 6. Freedom from blighted or obsolete housing, unpaved, rough or dusty streets, obnoxious odors, noises and traffic and unsanitary conditions. Every citizen in the City should be provided an maintain a house that meets the minimum housing Major Strategy Accomplishment 1975 -80 The City of Round Rock has adopted the Southern national Inc. These codes are administrated by ment. equal opportunity to aquire and standards of the city. Building Code Congress Inter - the Building Inspection Depart- A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for street, parks, utilities and public facilities improvement has been developed by the City Staff and approved by the City Council. The voters of the City have approved the bonds for the CIP program. The City of Round Rock through the Round Rock Housing Authority, and private developers strive to provide housing in the economic reach of all citizens. These agenciesparticipates in HUD, and FHA housing assistance programs. The City of Round Rock has received a HUD Community Development Block Grant to carry out community development programs in two target areas. Goal TRANSPORTATION To provide an adequate transportation system to meet the present and projected need for mobile people and supply the requirements of the industrial and com- mercial concerns in the Urban areas. To arrange all avenues for circulation to assure public safety and still allow people, goods and public safety vehicles to circulate freely throughout the area. 43 Community Developemnt Strategies to Achieve Goals Transportation routes, facilities and terminals be integrated with other parts of the comprehensive.plan, thus providing a basis for efficient and effective operations. When the economy"" and population warrant, public transit should be initiated, parti- cularly since a great number of the residents of the city commute to Austin. Truck traffic should be confined to those routes which offer the least inter- ference with automobile traffic and which, at the same time, serve the commercial and industrial areas both conveniently and safely. Truck terminals should be located on or near the interregional highway and in industrial areas to reduce truck travel on City streets. Truck routes should be restricted to major streets that are adequately constructed to carry heavy truck traffic. In new residential areas, rail crossing at grade should be limited to major or collector streets. Rail crossings at grade by collector streets should be spaced no closer than one - half mile in new areas. All grade crossing should be protected by modern warning signals. Major Strategy Accomplishments 1970 -78 Preparation of a detailed transportation circulation study. Awarded and implemented two traffic sign replacement grant from the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation. Provided encouragement in the development of a mass transit system to Austin. THOROUGHFARES Goals To develop a street system that ties the city together and provides for the rapid, safe, and efficient movement of people and goods. To provide an efficient traffic circulation system in accord with economic and physical conditions of the community. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goals Design thoroughfare plan as a coordinated part of the general plan - - Not as an isolated entity. Develop street design standards work cooperatively with the Texas Department of Highway and Public Transportation and Williamson County officials in the development of street systems. Establish annual appropriations and Capital Improvements programs for redevelopment of all types of existing streets to acceptable standards. Major Strategy Accomplishments 1975 -80 A opted street design standards for continued enforcement of adopted subdivision ordin- 44 Annual appropriations and Capital Improvement program. CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT General Goals To develop the existing downtown as a well developed neighborhood shopping center in a high density, compact area. To develop a twenty -four hour population, rather than an eight hour population in the downtown. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goal Emphasis on convenience goods and services. Organize a downtown revitalization group. Major Strategy Accomplishments 1975 -80 Downtown revitilization group has been organized. New public library, an expanded city hall, street improvement. COMMUNITY BUILDING AND FACILITIES General Goal To be cognizant of those facilities needs for a well planned and attractive community that will adequately fulfill the needs and desires of the citizen. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goal A new City Hall should be constructed. A new fire station facility should be constructed outside the CBD. Construct a new library. Improvement to water system. Improvement to sanitary system. Improvement in solid waste disposal system. - Major Strategy Accomplishment 1975 -80 A modern City Hall has been constructed along with the purchase of a modern former bank building in the CBD to meet the office space needs of the City. The 1980 CIP includes funds to construct a modern fire facility in north Round Rock. The 1979 CIP includes funds to construct a new library in the CDB. The 1979 -83 CIP includes funds for improvements in the water system. The 1979 -83 CIP includes funds for improvement in the sanitary system. PARKS General Goal To provide adequate'land area and sufficient equipment with regard for the lo- cation of the population which they are to serve for the recreational activities of the present and future population of the City. Community Development Strategies to Achieve Goal 45 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Land Acquisition: 1. Preserve all existing recreational sites and public open space from encroachment by other uses. 2. Encourage and accept appropriate gifts of land. 3. Acquire land within convenient access of most users. 4. Utilize the most expedient methods available to.acquire needed land. Facility Development: 1. Provide an optimum range of recreation facilities to reflect the expressed leisure preferences of residents which are consistent with their social values, problems and aspirations. 2. Develop all facilities to the highest standards consistent with safety, good design, user convenience and cost effective- ness. 3. Utilize the most imaginative, creative and economical methods of developing recreation facilities. 4. Develop all facilities to achieve a maximum degree of flexibility and multiple use. Recreation Program: 1. Encourage the optimum use of all existing and proposed recreation land and facilities. 2. Provide the widest possible range of programs which appeal to the needs, values, and interests of all residents. 3. Encourage and solicit voluntary leadership. 4. Sponsor programs, consistent with seasonalized and daily use patterns which offer the maximum range of choice and meaning to residents. Major Strategy Accomplishment 1975 -80 A CIP program which includes funds for land acquisition, and facility development. Developed six new parks. Improved three parks. Received two grants from the Texas Parks and Wildlife for park development. Acquired one new park by donation. The second level of planning and management for community development, revitali- zation, conservation, and protection to address the community development needs of Round Rock can be summarized as the protection and conservation, and revitalization strategy. 46 PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION STRATEGY, AND MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT 1975 -80 Residents of marginal areas, for the most part are able to maintain property with little or no financial assistance, however there is a great need to insure that the impact of degenerative forces beyond their immediate personal control does,notaffect residents of neighborhoods: Policies and policy interpretations which control and limit thn degenerative impact of forces incidental to change and development are in effect and are being continuously monitored and evaluated to insure their effectiveness. Some examples include: *zoning - land use decisions which give priority to the maintenance and improvement of neighborhood quality *traffic characteristice - neighborhood protection is paramount when traffic and circulation patterns are revised according to city -wide needs *neighborhood organizations - active solicitation of input from neighborhood organizations on city -wide as well as neighborhood issues As a result of such policies and maintenance activities, and where appropriate, the improvement of normal municipal facilities and services, it is hoped that marginally deteriorated areas and areas threatened by decline will respond to a political climate which engenders leverage in the private sector to effect neighborhood protection and conservation. Revitalization Strategy, and Major Accomplishment 1975 -80 Residents of deteriorated areas are often unable and always hard pressed to meet basic personal needs. The problems in such areas are generally beyond the capabilities of residents to address. Fiscal resources for rehabilitation are required to fund programs and projects where policies alone are inadequate to correct existing deficiencies in the social and physical fabric of these neighborhoods. To remedy these deficiencies, Round Rock has, in recent years, increasingly committed locally generated tax resources to augment funds and in some cases totally supported both physical and social programs. Some examples of both physical and social programs which are totally or significantly locally funded are summarized below. Social Programs - Family Services- homemaker services and assistance and counseling programs primarily for the elderly. - Child Services - includes day care program and health and nutrition services for preschool children. - Housing Rehabilitition Loan Program - low interest loans and grants to low- income households. Physical Programs Area development - the Urban services and capital improvement programs provide for street.paving, drainage improvements, sidewalks, lighting and utility improvements in the four urban service areas. The third community development planning level, planning concerned with the development of a particular facility, with respect to the needs of a single geo- graphic area can be summarized as 47 - specific projects - as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process, projects such as park acquisition and improvements, isolated drainage im- provements, and street improvements are part of a commitment to this effort. Round Rock's increasing fiscal commitment to such rehabilitation and supportive programs indicates a recognition by the general population and public officials of the importance of older neighborhoods and a responsibility to correct existing deficiencies. The Planning and Community Development Department actively seeks federal and private financial assistance to augment the three level approach of the City. Within each level a specific federal program will be used to achieve the following "Goals" To stimulate new, or increased private investment. To augment other funds to provide the necessary public facilities at the time of development, To complement the Capital Improvement Program of the City of Round Rock which is the major source of funds for public facilities improvements, - To provide jobs, especially for low and moderate income persons, To address problems adversely affecting the development of the City, To stimulate revitalization of the older areas of the City, To carry out the Community Development strategy of the City. Major Accomplishment (1975 -80) The City of Round Rock has received over one million dollars in federal assistance. Item 2. Project Description, Need and Program Exhibit IV- A -2a(1) la The City of Round Rock proposes to undertake with Economic Development Administration (EDA) Section 304 grant funds a project to improve the water distribution system in the northwest section of the City. The project will provide temporary jobs and stimulate the revitalization and economic develop- ment of the northwest area. The project consists of the construction of a new 7000 L.F. 12" water main. Asmentioned in Item 1 water to the northwest is currently provided from the east, a lower pressure plane. This causes waterpressure during peak water use conditions to be extremely low (12 -20 P.S.I.) The inadequate water distribution system hampers the area's development. The proposed improvements will increase the water pressure during peak water use to 45 -65 P.S.I. New development in the area will be assured of adequate water pressure. The proposedimprovement would satisfy Texas State Board of Insurance requirements for equalization and emergency storage. Exhibit IV- A -2a(2) The project will provide essential water and fire protection to low income groups. Twenty four percent of the families in the planning area were listed as having income less than the proverty level in 1970. The project is located in ED 24. If one was to assume there is a high correlation between housing conditions, social characterics and the percent of families living under the proverty level 75% of the families in ED 24 were living under the poverty. level in 1970. The cdnditions in the area have changed'slightly since 1970 as a result of new residential, commercial and industrial development. 48 APPLICANT'S ESTIMATE OF PERMANENT PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS' EXPECTED IN THE PROJECT AREA AND AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT DEGREE OF CERTAINTY TIMF Immediate (1) Within one year after project approval - (2) After one year and less than two years after project approval (3) After two years but less than five years after project approval (4) Five of more years after project approval (s) Jabs saved or retained (No.) Private investments to be (Dollars) ( ) Jbbs to be created (No.) Private investments to be made (Dollars) Jobs to created (No,) Private investments to be made) (Dollars Jobs to be created (No.) ( ) Private investments to be (Dollars) s s) Jobs to be created (No.) Private investments to be (Dot made l.a, and n r o o p -'remains r In place 260 1 ,500,000 60 450,000 75 fi0n.nnn 75 Rnn,pnn 190 1 ,150,000 b, Industry plans are firm and the industry is unequi- vocally committed to location and operation in the project area and as a result of the project. .. c.

FORM 00.101A (REV. 10.701 UOCOMM -OC 52574 -P70 Item 3 Exhibit IV -A -3b The result of this project will enable the full development of a regional shopping center and two industrial parks. The City of Round Rock recently approved rezoning and subdivision of several tracts in the Old Town Area for business and industrial use. Two light industrial, subdivisions have been established within the area, and plans for the construction of a regional shopping center are being formulated. These three major developments supported by the proposed projects will create an estimated 400 positions in the following categories: Professional 10 Managers and Administrators 30 Sales Workers 210 Clerical 50 Service Workers 100 The amount of private investment in the planning area in the oast five years is over one hundred million dollars. The dollar value of industrial construction permits over the past five years in the project area is 1.5 million. EXHIBIT IV -A -3c The City of Round Rock .estimates 14 construction jobs will be created by the project. The jobs will be in the following categories: Craftsmen & Foremen 4 Equipment operators 2 Laborers 8 Item 4 Exhibit IV -A -4 Impact The proposed project will improve the area's potential for economic growth and improve the area's opportunities for sucessful establishment of expansion of industrial or commercial enterprises. It will result in the creation of long -term employment opportunities for the area. Improvements to the water distribution system as proposed by this project would assure adequate water at an optimum pressure. The results would enable the deve- lopment of approximately 450 continuous acres of undeveloped land for industrial and commercial establishmentsas proposed in the General Plan for the City of Round Rock. The long -term employment opportunities for the area would be over 1,000 jobs. 52 ■ Section C Exhibit IV -C -1 Exhibit IV -C -2 Exhibit IV -C -3 Section C Approach Exhibit IV -C -1 The City of Round Rock chosen this approach at the recommendation of the City Consulting Engineer, Haynie & Kaltman, Inc. (H &K) Since an adequate and dependable water supply is essential to the economic development of Round Rock, H & K in their report, Water and Wastewater Improvement, prepared for the City of Round Rock, recommended locating a new ground water source to serve the north- west. The City contracted the services of Rollin Harden & Associates of Austin, Texas to locate ground water in the northwest area of the City. Ground water is the only source of water for the City of Round Rock. Two wells were discovered. These wells are being developed with local bond funds. The wells are located near Chisholm Trail Road. As a result of the location of the wells Williamson County Commissioner Court is in agreement to petition for voluntary annexation of the Chisholm Trail Road right -of -way to the City of Round Rock. As expressly stated in the City of Round Rock General Plan, connection to City water service by tracts of land outside the corporate limits may be authorized only in conjunction with the annexation of those tracts. In such . instances the property owner petitions the City Council for annexation of the subject tract of land. Concurrently with successful annexation by ordinance, the subject tract is authorized to connect to City Services. Also as a matter of policy, contemplated annexations are studied for zoning purposes according to a timetable which is co- ordinated with the annexation process so that, typically, newly annexed territory is granted original zoning by ordinance on the same date it is annexed. These planning policices which mandate the coordination of services extension, annexa- tion and zoning processes have produced a considerable benefit with respect to the economic development of the Round Rock Community. The following are the actions,dates and key factors which could accerlerate or decelerate the work.
