BACKGROUND INFORMATION This item is for a public hearing and consideration of an amendment to the Roper Ranch Planned Development District (Ordinance 2021-O-10A). The subject area is approximately 361 acres and is located to the northeast and predominantly to the southeast of the US 281 and East RM 2147 intersection. This Planned Development District was initially established in 2018 via Ordinance 2018-O-07D. This PDD application is able to be reviewed as a Conceptual Planned Development District due to the acreage size exceeding fifty (50) acres. All Planned Development Districts require identification of a base zoning district(s) that best fit the development. The Marble Falls Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map identifies multiple future land uses for the project area based on the previous land plan for the Roper Ranch development project. For the project area, the Future Land Use Map calls for predominantly Neighborhood Residential uses with Corridor Commercial uses along US 281 and at its intersection with RM 2147 East. The proposed base zoning districts as well as the development standards of the PDD support the City’s vision for this area. The PDD proposes approximately 137 acres of the Neighborhood Residential (NR) base district, 34 acres of the Multifamily Residential (MR) base district, 138 acres of the General Commercial (GC) base district, 39 acres of open space, drainage, and parkland, and 10 acres of roadway and easements. The proposed project will be a nonresidential, residential, and multifamily development designed and constructed as a master planned development. The Master Plan for the Roper (a) - Page 1 of 16 Ranch development is divided into twenty (20) parcels to be built in five (5) phases. The project proposes approximately 541 single-family residential lots, 2 multifamily sites, 138 acres for commercial use development which includes a hotel site, a 12.73-acre sports complex site, and 39 acres of open space and amenities including a 3.46-acre open space / amenity center site and a 1.06-acre open space / park site. The applicant had requested amendments to be applicable to the nonresidential standards for Parcel D. City Staff has made recommendations to keep the nonresidential standards as they have been previously approved and add language that allows Parcel D to submit alternate plans for certain standards. The following amendments have been made to the development standards, in addition see page 15 for the redlined version of Exhibit “C Development Standards, pages updated Exhibits B1-B3, and Exhibit D. • Allowance for alternative plans to be approved by City Staff for walkways due to topography and alignment obstacles • Outdoor Display criteria- limit area to be utilized for outdoor display of merchandise and wider walkways/sidewalks in those areas. • Final Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions, shall not be required at platting for Parcel D; a draft copy shall be submitted. • Parcel D shall be exempt from screening for water quality and detention ponds located adjacent to the floodplain. • Allow Parcel D to submit alternate plans to be approved by staff for parking and landscaping. • Parcel D shall be allowed to have parking light poles not to exceed 40.5 feet in heigh; they shall be dark sky compliant and facing downward • A signage section has been added to address signage for non-residential development including Exhibit “F” that is a rendering of the detached sign for Flatrock Creek Crossing. In addition to the non-residential standards outlined for Parcel D, the amendments include the following: • Reduction of parking standards for multifamily development A total of 16 adjacent property owners within two hundred feet (200’) of the Subject Area were mailed notification letters, including the public hearing dates and a pre-paid comment card for response supporting/opposing the proposed rezoning. At the time of this report, 1 comment card was received in favor of the development.
