MARTINEZ, City Secreta 2 DATE: November 4, 2005 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - November 10, 2005 ITEM: 13.E.1. Consider a resolution identifying and listing the existing detached single-family residences located within the newly created MU -la (Mixed -Use Southwest Downtown) District. Department: Planning and Community Development Department Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director Justification: The MU -la (Mixed -Use Southwest Downtown) District includes provisions for increased compatibility standards for properties that abut existing detached single-family residences. These standards will provide protection for a property listed in this Resolution as long as the property maintains its single-family use. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: N/A Background Information: One of the goals of the Southwest Downtown Plan (adopted February 2005) was to accommodate existing single-family residences in the area by examining the compatibility of land uses. During public workshops, participants expressed the need for fencing requirements, ways to address odors from nearby restaurants, and issues with single-family yards being shadowed by adjacent larger buildings. The MU -la (Mixed -Use Southwest Downtown) District addresses these issues through additional compatibility standards. This Resolution identifies and lists the addresses of the existing single-family residences. Abutting uses will have to comply with the compatibility standards in the Ordinance. If a single-family residence listed in the Resolution is converted to a non -single family use, the requirements shall not longer apply. Public Comment: Many public workshops were held as part of the planning process for the Southwest Downtown Plan. Public notice and a public hearing were held in accordance with the City of Round Rock's Zoning Ordinance for the recommendation of the MU -la (Mixed -Use Southwest Downtown) District. Through the public notification process for the adoption of the MU -la (Mixed -Use Southwest Downtown) District, the notified property owners received a list of addresses which are included in this Resolution.
