ROUND ROCK,nX4S City Council Agenda Summary Sheet
PURPOSE PASSION. PROSPERITY.
Agenda Item No. L4.
Consider public testimony regarding and an ordinance zoning 14.78 acres of land to C -1a
(General Commercial — Limited), located near IH -35 and Greenlawn Boulevard. (First
Agenda Caption: Reading)
Meeting Date: January 24, 2013
Department: Planning and Development Services
Staff Person making presentation: Brad Wiseman
Interim Planning and Development Services Director
Item Summary:
This item is an original zoning for a 14.78 -acre property located north of Greenlawn Boulevard and east of IH -35.
This 14.78 -acre property is in the process of being brought into the City's municipal limits through an involuntary
annexation. The larger property contains approximately 26 acres and is owned by Austpro Enterprises. A portion of
the larger property was annexed in 1987 and 1996; therefore, this original zoning only applies to the remaining
14.78 acres. The property contains a landscaping nursery (Whittlesey Landscape Supply) and recently opened retail
store (Planet K).
The General Plan designates this area as Dell Mixed Use, which indicates a mixture of commercial, residential, office
and business park uses in close proximity to each other. At the public hearing on December 19, the Planning and
Zoning Commission unanimously recommended the C -1a (General Commercial -Limited) zoning district be applied to
the property. This zone is recommended because the area is highly visible from IH -35 and serves as a gateway to
the city. The C -1a zone limits land uses to those appropriate to this type of area. While the abutting areas are
zoned C-1 (General Commercial) staff recommends a more limited range of uses for this newly annexed area. A
comparison of the C-1 (General Commercial) and C -1a (General Commercial -Limited) zoning districts is attached.
The site is accessed by Greenlawn Blvd. and the northbound IH -35 frontage road. Currently, there are large regional
wastewater lines (16", 18" & 21") that cross the property, but no service lines. Within 2 1/2 years after annexation,
the property will be served by a fire hydrant with dedicated water line, a manhole, a 1 %2' water line and an 8"
wastewater line. Once annexed and zoned, future development must comply with the C -la (General Commercial -
Limited) zoning district.
ZONING FINDINGS
Pursuant to Section 46-105, zoning map amendments must meet the following findings:
1. Consistency (or lack thereof) with the General Plan. The proposed zone is consistent with the General Plan and
the Future Land Use Map. The General Plan indicates this is a Mixed Use area that will contain commercial,
residential, office and business park uses in close proximity to each other. The Future Land Use Map identifies this
area as Dell Mixed Use. The C -1a zone is compatible with that designation.

t PROSPERrrY.
2. Compatibility with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and with the character of the
neighborhood. The surrounding properties contain a mixture of commercial and business park uses. Enabling C -1a
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 C -1a 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 unzoned and contains two existing businesses: a landscape
nursery (Whittlesey landscape Supply) and a retail business (Planet K). The retail business is an allowed use in the C -
1a zone; however, the landscape nursery is not a permitted use in that zone. The retail use will be permitted to
expand and develop in conformance with the C -1a zone. The landscape nursery will be considered a non-
conforming use and will be allowed to continue, but not expand.
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 C -1a zoning.
