Qt%l) this the O day READ, APPROVED and ADOPTED on second reading this the day of , 2006. 15 NYLE MAXWELL, Mayor City of Round Rock, Texas CHRISTINE R. MARTINEZ, City Secretar 16 DATE: June 1, 2006 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - June 8, 2006 ITEM: 9.B.5. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 11, Zoning, to add an Agricultural (AG) zoning district and to address the treatment of properties within the City limits without a zoning classification. (First Reading) Department: Planning and Community Development Department Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Director Justification: As the city continues to initiate annexations in the ETJ, land owners of newly annexed tracts have expressed an interest in continuing existing agricultural uses until a land use proposal for their tract is determined. Staff proposes a new Agricultural (AG) zoning district to accommodate this request. The Agricultural district provides landowners with the flexibility they need to continue agricultural operations while providing the city with the assurance that Round Rock development standards are met. In addition, staff proposes provisions to address the treatment of properties within the city limits without a zoning classification also to ensure Round Rock development standards are met. Funding: Cost: N/A Source of funds: N/A Outside Resources: N/A Background Information: The intent of the Agricultural district is to establish and preserve areas of low intensity land use primarily devoted to agricultural activities, which have the potential of becoming urban areas in the future. The proposed Agricultural district provides for traditional agricultural operations such as farming to include field crops, orchards and horticulture. The district also provides for livestock and fowl raising, but excludes feed lots, livestock processing, hog raising operations, poultry farms and poultry processing operations. In addition, several compatibility standards have been included in the district to protect adjacent residential properties and neighborhoods. These are summarized below: • For new development, barns, stables, corrals, sheds, pens or other similar structures where livestock may be housed, fed, or confined, or where food for livestock is stored shall not be located within 150 feet of the property line of any residence, business or commercial establishment or office (other than the livestock owner's residence, business or commercial establishment or office), grocery store, school building, church, hospital, nursing home, or restaurant or other food service establishment. 4— Continued —* ITEM: 9.B.5. - CONTINUED • Livestock shall be enclosed with adequate fences or barriers that will prevent such livestock from damaging shrubbery or other property situated on adjacent property. Such fences or barriers shall be sufficient to prevent the livestock from escaping the enclosure These are the same requirements found in sections 2.701 (4-5) of the Animal Control Ordinance. In addition to the provisions regulating the proposed Agricultural (AG) district, please note that procedural language was added to Section 11.317 of the Zoning Ordinance to address the treatment of properties within the city limits without a zoning classification. Property that was annexed without a zoning classification or property existing within the City limits without a zoning classification is proposed to be treated as follows: • A parcel of land that is Tess than ten (10) acres shall be treated as if it were zoned SF -R (Single Family - Rural) • A parcel of land that is ten (10) acres or more shall be treated as if it were zoned AG (Agricultural) Public Comment: Public notice was posted and a public hearing was held in accordance with the City of Round Rock's Zoning Ordinance at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on May 3, 2006.
