(7'.h� OjLt - CHRISTINE R. MARTINEZ, City Secret y I z <I }: \\ \� /� DATE: November 21, 2005 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - December 1, 2005 ITEM: 8.B.4. Consider an ordinance amending the General Plan to modify the Future Land Use Map with regard to the area north of Old Settlers Boulevard, west of FM 1460, south of the City of Round Rock's extraterritorial jurisdiction boundary, and east of IH -35. (First Reading) Department: Planning and Community Development Department Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Director Justification: As discussed at the August 25, 2005, City Council meeting, city staff has begun a four-phase study of northeast Round Rock. The primary focus of this study (called the Northeast Plan) is to examine the Future Land Use Map adopted with the General Plan 2000. The first phase, which was adopted by City Council on August 25th, dealt primarily with property along the IH -35 frontage road. Phase 2, which will be presented to the Council at the December 1St meeting, covers the area east of Phase 1 as far as FM 1460. Staff is recommending some fairly significant changes to the Future Land Use Map in this area. The rationale behind these proposed changes is addressed in depth in a separate agenda item. The actual changes themselves are up for adoption in this agenda item. These changes are shown on a new Future Land Use Map which will become an official part of the General Plan 2000 if adopted by Council. The proposed map is included in your packet as an 11"x17" sheet labeled Map 5.2 Future Land Use Map November 2005. In addition to this map, your packet includes several other maps that "zoom in" on the affected area. One of these maps shows the Future Land Use Map for northeast Round Rock as adopted by Council in August (labeled "Future Land Use CURRENT"), and another one shows the proposed changes for Phase 2 (labeled "Future Land Use Phase 2: PROPOSED"). A map showing the current zoning (as opposed to Future Land Use designation) is also included for your reference. Public input for the changes recommended for Phase 2 was solicited through a mailing to all property owners in Phase 2 except for the single-family residents. The recommendations put forth in the Northeast Plan account for the feedback provided by these property owners. Only in a few instances was there a disagreement between staff's recommendation and the property owner's desires. In all three of these cases, the property owners were seeking a commercial land use designation in locations that were deemed inappropriate for commercial development based on the City's location criteria and preferred development patterns, as specified in the General Plan 2000, and based on the City's current land use needs. The attached map labeled "Property Owner Input" shows those properties where the owners responded to the City's mailing, and it shows where the owners agreed or disagreed with the proposed changes. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: N/A Background Information: On November 2, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously rendered a favorable recommendation to amend the Future Land Use Map of the General Plan as proposed in Phase 2 of the Northeast Plan. Public Comment: A public hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Commission on 11-2-05.
