ROUND ROCK, TEXAS City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
PURPOSE PASSION. PROSPERITY.
Agenda Item No. G3.
Consider public testimony regarding and an ordinance zoning 4.839 acres of land to BP
(Business Park) district, said tract generally located northeast of the intersection of E. Old
Agenda Caption: Settlers Blvd and Rockin J Road. (First Reading)
Meeting Date: January 10. 2013
rtment: Planning and Development Services
Staff Person making presentation: Brad Wiseman, AICP
Interim Planning and Development Services Director
Item Summary:
This item seeks to zone 4.839 acres of land to BP (Business Park). It was annexed and left unzoned in 2009, thus
taking on a default zoning of SF -R (Single Family - Rural) per Sec 46-109 of the Code. The applicant is seeking the BP
(Business Park) zoning designation in order to allow them to expand their business, which produces cabinets and
other kitchen furnishings. This is a follow-up action to the previous item, which changed the future land use
designation from R (Residential) to BP (Business Park) to more accurately reflect the existing uses on this and
neighboring tracts.
Surrounding land uses are as follows:
North: Unzoned - light industrial services use (Morris Glass Company)
East: Unzoned - commercial/light industrial use (Snooper's Garden Center)
South: Old Settlers Blvd right-of-way with vacant ETJ across (Meier -Champion tract)
West: Rockin J Rd. right-of-way with commercial across (1257 Customs - auto service/repair/trucking).
This site is located at the northeast corner of Old Settlers Blvd. and Rockin J Rd. The customer entrance is located on
Rockin J Rd., with a driveway for trucks on Old Settlers Blvd. The site is fully served by all utilities.
The BP (Business Park) zoning district allows manufacturing and assembly, light industrial services, office, day care,
wholesale trade, retail sales and service, and research and development, among other uses. The present use falls
under the category of light industrial services according to the Code. The BP (Business Park) district requires all
activities to be carried out in a fully -enclosed building, a condition with which the company already complies.
All proposed development must meet the building standards outlined in the Code, including building articulation;
wall materials such as stone, simulated stone, stucco, and other approved masonry materials; exterior color
compatibility; screening of equipment; and prohibited outdoor storage and display unless temporary. These
standards will apply to any construction of new structures and also to renovation/expansion of the existing
structure.

i PROSPERITY.
Pursuant to Section 46-105, zoning map amendments must meet the following findings:
1. Consistency (or lack thereof) with the General Plan: the proposed and existing land use is not consistent with the
General Plan, but will be upon adoption of the related amendment to the Future Land Use Map.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the
neighborhood: enabling business park uses will be compatible with nearby existing land uses and with the character
of the area.
3. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district that would be made
applicable by the proposed amendment: the property is suitable for uses permitted by the BP (Business Park) zoning
district. The existing properties and businesses are a mixture of commercial and business park uses.
4. Suitability of the property affected by the amendment for uses permitted by the district applicable to the property
at the time of the proposed amendment: the property is currently unzoned, but has existing business park uses
(light industrial services, limited retail) in operation. Zoning the property BP (Business Park) will make the zoning
consistent with the existing use.
5. Availability of water, wastewater and stormwater facilities suitable and adequate for the proposed use: water and
wastewater facilities are present and adequate for the proposed BP (Business Park) zoning.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this zone change at its December 19,
