DATE: August 2, 2007
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - August 9, 2007
ITEM: 7C1. Consider an ordinance regarding a General Plan Amendment which
amends the Industrial Designation at the northeast side of A.W.
Grimes south of SH 45 to a Commercial Designation. (First Reading)
Department: Planning and Community Development
Staff Person: Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director
Justification:
The purpose of the General Plan amendment is to ensure that appropriate land uses are
designated on the City of Round Rock's Future Land Use Map. The subject tract is currently
designated as an industrial land use and lies just south of the intersection of Highway 45
and A.W. Grimes Boulevard. The tract is adjacent to several commercial uses.
The rationale behind amending the subject tract from an industrial designation to
commercial is the preponderance of commercial uses in the area. Due to the existing
number of commercial uses in close proximity to the subject tract, an industrial designation
is no longer considered appropriate for the two small lots fronting onto A.W. Grimes. The
location also makes the tract a logical expansion of the existing commercial designation and
will allow the applicant to pursue annexation and an original zoning to C-1a (General
Commercial- Limited).
