Erin Carr, BDS Director Page 2 of 2 Page 5 of 56 Page 1 of 25 Page 6 of 56 Ashby Grundman, AICP Assistant City Manager __________________________________________________________________________ Staff Report MEETING DATE: March 6, 2024 AGENDA ITEM: Consider a request from the Drenner Group, PC, representative of the owner of approximately 5.36 acres of land located at 300 Birrell St., for approval of a FLUM update from Commercial to Residential and a zoning change from C-1 (Office/Retail) to PUD (Planned Unit Development). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: These requests run concurrently. The requested zoning change requires that the FLUM also be changed for consistency. The FLUM update would change from Commercial to Residential. The project as proposed is a residential development with 30 single-family and 18 townhouse residences. The requestor has met several times with city staff and the PUD Development Committee and has modified their proposal in response to comments. STAFF ANALYSIS: The layout was developed with entrances on Birrell St and on Medical Dr, and backs onto the parking lot of the Baylor Scott & White Clinic. The siting accommodates the 500-year floodplain and drainage. City staff has calculated the anticipated traffic from the 48 new dwellings as 413 daily trips using the ITE Trip Generation Manual. Actual vehicle trips are likely to be less because of the proximity to commercial sites at the Lakeway Town Center, The Oaks, and The Square may encourage a shift of some household trips to walking or bicycling. The requested variances are shown in an attached table. The significant variances are to waive the 8-acre minimum size for a PUD, allow residential use, reduce the setbacks, allow front-facing garages on the internal streets, and cap the total amount of parking. Building exteriors are to be up to 50% Hardi products and the rest will be masonry (rock, brick or stucco), and impervious cover is 2.93 acres or 54.7% of the gross site area. The site plan and requested variances are compatible with the existing Comprehensive Plan and other city policies. Page 2 of 25 Page 7 of 56 PUBLIC NOTICE: A sign was placed on the property, advertisement in the paper and notification letters were mailed out to all property owners within 200 feet of this property. No comments were received at the time of writing this report. ACTION REQUESTED: ZAPCO recommendations to City Council regarding a FLUM update from Commercial to Residential and the rezoning of the approximately 5.36 acres of land addressed as 300 Birrell St from C-1 (Office/Retail) to (PUD) Planned Unit Development.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the business license inspection process by the Building and Development Services team, a couple of game rooms operating without proper permits were visited by the Chief Building Official. Without clear definitions in the code, the closest definition for game rooms falls under “arcades”, which require a special use permit (SUP). STAFF ANALYSIS: The draft code amendments include definitions regarding the machines present in a game room, regulating the number of game rooms allowed, and providing distance regulations for new game rooms. Staff received direction from City Council to present the proposed ordinance amendment to ZAPCO for review and recommendation to City Council for action. The process outlined for game rooms requires acquisition of a special use permit to operate, and they must meet the criteria outlined in the draft amendment, which includes a maximum number permissible. As written, the criteria state: • The number of game rooms shall not exceed three • No new permit if they are within 1,500 feet of another permitted game room • No new permit if they are within 1,500 feet of a school, place of worship or residential neighborhood. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notice for a proposed general amendment to Chapter 30 shall be published in an official newspaper or in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Lakeway at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for such hearing. ACTION REQUESTED: ZAPCO recommendation to City Council regarding amending the City of Lakeway Municipal Code Article 22.02.001 Definitions., Article 30.05 (Special Use Permits) to include Section 30.05.004.6 (Criteria applicable to Gaming/Software Sweepstake Device special use permits.).
