PRESENTATIONS:
.6 +6
APRIL 12, 2007
8.A.1. Consider a presentation of the Semi-Annual Reoort from the Capital
Improvements Advisory Committee with respect to the progress of the Capital
Improvements Plan. Michael D. Thane, Water/Wastewater Utility Director made the staff
presentation. This presentation advised the Council of the need to update the land use
assumptions, capital improvements plan, and the impact fees. He noted that the growth,
along with the progress of the Regional Water System, has;progressed to the point that City •
staff is recommending the City's Capital Improvement Plan,and Impact Fees be updated at
this time. In addition, the staff recommended that the impact fees be reviewed every two
years so that the fees are set according to the growth patterns and needs of the Water and
Wastewater Utility System improvements. On March 14, 2807, the Capital Improvement
Committee found no perceived inequities in implementing the plan or imposing the impact
fee and the report was approved as submitted to Council.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the proposed ordinance amending
Chapter 11 Section 11.424(2) of the City of Round Rock Code of Ordinance (1995 Edition),
Home Occupation provisions. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff
presentation. The key changes to the Home Occupation provisions are as follows.
• Bona Fide Residence is now defined as "The principal address and primary
residence of an occupant conducting a Home! Occupation, as determined by •
one (1) of the following criteria: The registered homestead of the occupant,
voter registration (precinct), address displayed on driver's license, or other
state or federal registration documents identifying the principal address."
This was added because it was determined that the existing language could
allow for a person to purchase a residence for the sole purpose of operating a
business out of it.
• Two (2) customers are permitted to conduct business at a home occupation at
one time. Allowing customers to visit a home will generate limited traffic for
uses that have historically been home occupations, such as music lessons and
tutoring.
• The number of people conducting business at a home occupation in a day
matches the existing allowance for daycare (16 children = 24 vehicle trips), so
that there is a limit to the number of total vdhicle trips that a home
occupation will allow. Since daycare is allowed in a residential zoning district,
matching the number of vehicle trips generated by daycare seemed to be a
logical limit.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There! being no, testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
9.A.2. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by R. Mark and •
Melissa G. Dietz to rezone 1.21 acres described as Lots 1-4 of Block 12 and a portion of Lot

Planning Director made the staff presentation. This property contains an existing law office
in a converted residential structure (106 Fannin) and one additional residence which is
proposed to be converted as an expansion of the existing office (110 Fannin). This property
67

Program.
Tim Ryle, Assistant Police Chief made the staff presentation. This grant application
originally was filed through the Texas Engineering Extension, Service (TEEX) and was
approved in 2004. The State transferred all grants from the TEEX to the Governor's Division

and the City had to re-apply through the Governor's Division. In 2006, City Council
approved the acceptance of $28,146 through the Governor's Emergency Management
Division. When the planned purchases were made, it was discovered that fewer web-
accessible cameras were needed. In addition, the expansion of the key card access to City
Hall only cost three-quarters of the plan. The remaining funds were not allowed to be used
for other means. Staff recommended approval for the return of $9,018.05 of unspent grant
money received from the 2004 State Homeland Grant Program.

outlined the status of sixteen (16) of the recommendations. He added that some
recommendations have been implemented and others will require ordinance changes or
other ongoing action.
9B1. Consider a presentation regarding the proposed Noise Ordinance.
Steve Sheets, City Attorney made the staff presentation. The City's current noise
regulations were adopted almost 30 years ago when the City had less than 10,000 citizens.
When adopted, the regulations were adequate for a small town, but as Round Rock
approaches a population of 100,000, it is prudent to consider updating the regulations
concerning noise. The provisions of the proposed ordinance were taken from several
"model" city ordinances from across the nation, as well as some state regulations. It takes
• advantage of new technology for measuring the intensity of noise. The ordinance deals with
a number of issues that have come up in recent months, including barking dogs, loud music
from boom boxes and cars, construction noise in residential areas and trucks using "fake
brakes". Mr. Sheets outlined the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Maxwell pointed out that this is the first.draft of the ordinance and asked
Council to review it further for discussion at a future work session.

Obligation Bonds and 2001 General Obligation Bonds. Cindy Demers, Finance Director gave

Construction, Inc. to rezone 8.0 acres of land from the SF-R zoning district to the PUD No.
73 zoning district. (Bluff's Landing) Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community
Development Director made the staff presentation. The primary purpose of this Planned Unit
Development is to provide for a senior apartment complex with a three-story height limit for
buildings. The SR (Senior) district limits building height to two-stories, which does not
accommodate the proposed project. The SR district also has age restrictions for residents,
which will be met by the proposed project. This project will provide affordable housing for
those aged 55 and over, with amenities.

9A2. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by NEC 1460/79, Ltdo
to rezone 37.975 acres of land from C-1 zoning district to PUD No. 74 zoning district.
(Crossing at Palm Valley) Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development
Director made the staff presentation. The primary purpose,of this Planned Unit
Development is to provide for a multifamily component to the development, while insuring
an attractive landscaped buffer and pedestrian connectivity;between the multifamily and
commercial uses.
Mayor opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public hearing was
closed.
9A3. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by Designated Tree
Partners, L.P. to rezone 12.98 acres of land from the LI zoning district to the PUD No. 75
zoning district. (Green Square) Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development
Director made the staff presentation. The primary purpose ,of this PUD is to provide for an
office park utilizing the standards of the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy
& Environmental Design (LEED) program. The LEED Green!Building Rating System is the
nationally accepted benchmark for design, 'construction, and operation of high performance
green buildings. This PUD will be used as a pilot program as staff considers new zoning
regulations to accommodate LEED building standards. The PUD also provides for the •
development to have eating establishments, which will serve employees and those
conducting business in the office park. The eating establishments are restricted to ensure
that they remain secondary to the office park use. In addition, the PUD requires the owner
to submit documentation showing that the ;project has been certified by the U.S. Green
Building Council.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
9A4. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by Ali Bahrami to
rezone the 0.276 acre Bahrami Estates, Lot 1, Block A from the SF-2 zoning district to the
C-1a zoning district. Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director made
the staff presentation. This tract and the adjacent lot to the south are the only remaining
residentially zoned tracts on N. Mays north of US 79. The adjacent businesses and the
traffic volume on N. Mays make these tracts unsuitable for residential development. The C- •
1a district is appropriate for this location, since it provides for a range of commercial
options, while precluding uses with outdoor storage.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
9A5. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by Leo A. and
Elizabeth Duarte to rezone 2.0 acres from the SF-1 zoning district to the OF zoning district.
JUNE 28, 2007

staff presentation. The OF district provides for day care facilities with limitations on the size
of the facility. The applicant is proposing a 2,300 square foot facility to serve 40 - 55
children, which is within the district limitation. The residential land use is no longer
appropriate for this tract since it abuts non-residential uses on three sides and large lot
• single family on the rear.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
Elizabeth Duarte, the applicant, requested approval of the rezoning request.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
9A6. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Oakmont Joint
Venture to rezone 12.97 acres, Oakmont Centre Section Three, Lot 2 Block B, from the LI
zoning district to the C-1a zoning district. Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community
Development Director made the staff presentation. The location of this site, south of the
Scott & White University Medical Campus, makes it well suited to provide for offices and
retail businesses related to the hospital. With the development of the hospital facility on the
north side of University Boulevard, commercial uses will be necessary as support. This tract
is adjoining a commercial tract along University Boulevard, making it appropriate for
• commercial uses. While light industrial land is also necessary in the vicinity of the hospital,
sufficient land zoned for that purpose is located south and west of this tract.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
9A7. Consider public testimony concerning a partial exemption from ad valorem
taxes for certain qualified historically significant properties located in the city limits of Round
Rock. Councilmember Rhode disclosed that he has a potential conflict of interest regarding
this item and will refrain from discussion. He submitted the appropriate conflict of interest
affidavit.
Joelle Jordan , Planner made the staff presentation. The Historic Tax Exemption
Program encourages owners of historic properties to use money,saved on taxes to provide
regular maintenance and/or repair to their historic structures. With this program, property
owners receive a 75% exemption`of municipal property taxes: On May 15, 2007, the
• Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval of 54 applications for the historic
tax exemption program. Recommended applications met the criteria for preservation and
maintenance according to the City's Zoning Ordinance. The City will forego $53,033 in
municipal property tax revenue as a result of the partial tax exemption program. The
program does not exempt county or school district taxes.

(1995 Edition), adding Section 9.2400, authorizing the City to implement an automated red
light camera program. (First Reading) (Requires Two Readings) Tim Ryle, Assistant Chief
• of Police made the staff presentation. At Council's direction last year, staff began to study
the need for photographic traffic signal enforcement. After reviewing available data, staff
determined that the City has a problem with motorists running red lights within the city
limits. This ordinance establishes red-light running as an ordinance violation and outlines
the parameters regarding how red-light enforcement as a civil matter - including provisions
for fines - will operate within the City. Studies earlier this year revealed a number of
intersections where red-light running in the City is frequent.

rate would increase by 4.2%. Individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or

required to balance the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget. This rate is $0.01500 above the
2007 effective tax rate. The proposed increase is due to the new debt service associated •
with the recently issued General Obligation Bonds and Certificates of Obligation. In
addition, the proposed utility budget is balanced with a planned 5.8% average rate
increase. This increase is necessary due to increasing operating costs as well as continued
investment in the utility's long-term reserve water and infrastructure needs.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
9B2. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed 2007 property tax rate for
the City of Round Rock. (Second Public Hearing) Cheryl Delaney, Assistant Finance Director
made the staff presentation. The proposed FY 2007-2008 Operating Budget is balanced at
the property tax rate of 36.522 cents per $100 of appraised taxable value. This rate is
below the tax rate adopted in 2006 (FY 2006-2007) by $0.00583, and is $0.01500 above
the 2007 (FY 2007-2008) effective tax rate. This tax rate provides adequate funding for the
proposed operating budget. It remains a competitive rate when compared to other
municipalities. Comparing the proposed tax rate to the effective rate, the tax rate would
increase by 4.2%.
2007 (FY 2007-2008) Proposed Tax,Rate - $0.36522
2007 (FY 2007-2008) Effective Tax Rate - $0.35022
2006 (FY 2006-2007) Tax Rate - $0.37105

9B3. Consider public testimony concerning proposed amendments to the Water and
Wastewater rates. Cheryl Delaney, Assistant Finance Director made the staff
presentation. Last year the City updated its comprehensive water and wastewater utility
rate model with the consulting firm of Black &Veatch. The results of the updated study
indicated that the scheduled rate increases should continue to fund operations and
anticipated debt issuances associated with the $134 million utility capital improvement
program: The proposed rate increases will go into effect January 2008 and will affect both
the water and wastewater components of the utility bill and is estimated to increase the
average residential bill by approximately 6.2%. Historically, the City has taken a utility
rate management approach that avoids substantial rate increases in any given year. Staff
will continue to make rate recommendations in consideration of this philosophy in addition
to keeping our rates competitive within the area.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.

response to the input from citizens during the City's 10-year Operational Plan that indicated
a preference for the City to charge appropriate user fees, staff evaluated current fees
charged by the City, for building permits and feel that adjustments are necessary to recover
the cost of processing a building permit from initial application through the completion of
the work authorized by the permit. Fees associated with the issuance and processing of a
building permit have not changed since the early to mid 1980's. Because the number of
permits issued by the City can fluctuate from year to year, staff recommended that periodic
review of the permit fees collected and the permit fee schedule be made every year or two
to ensure that the costs of providing these services are being funded by the users of these
services.

required to balance the FY 2007-08 Operating Budget. This rate is $0.01500 above the
2007 effective tax rate. The proposed increase is due to the new debt service associated
with the recently issued general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation. The
proposed utility budget is balanced with a planned 5.8% average rate increase. This
increase is necessary due to increasing operating costs as well as continued investment in
the utility's long-term reserve water and infrastructure needs. The first public hearing
regarding the proposed FY 2007-2008 Operating Budget was held September 13, 2007.
