Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance approving Amendment No. 1 to Planned Unit Development (PUD) No. 32 (Volger/Prewitt Tract) to incorporate approximately 0.99 acres of land into the PUD, generally located south of Round Rock Ave and west of Chisholm Trail Rd. (First Reading)*
Body
Comprehensive Plan: The Round Rock 2030 Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the property as Residential. Given the age of the PUD, it does not address any FLUM land use designation. The PUD simply refers to the permitted uses and standards being in compliance with the provisions of the PUD agreement and development plan.
In the Round Rock 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Public Facilities land use designation includes government facilities and offices, hospitals, nursing homes, medical centers, schools, universities, and places of worship. With PUD 32 encompassing the assisted living facility to the north of the subject tract and a K-12 private school to the west of the subject tract, the Public Facilities land use designation is appropriate for this site and approval of the PUD amendment will revise the FLUM accordingly.
Proposed PUD Amendment: The proposed PUD amendment incorporates the subject tract, to be known as Tract Four, into the existing PUD, thereby expanding the acreage from 14.08 acres to 15.07 acres. Tract Four permits a performing arts theater, offices, art studios and galleries, broadcasting studios, places of worship, and private school uses.
A maximum building height of 40 ft is permitted for a performing arts theater. All other uses shall be limited to one story in height. The exterior finish of all buildings shall be masonry, which is defined as stone, brick, stucco, or fiber cement siding. Landscaping shall be in accordance with the Zoning & Development Code, including provisions for water-wise landscaping.
The permitted uses and design standards for Tract Four are complementary to existing uses in the PUD and adjacent properties. Surrounding uses along Chisholm Trail Road include a specialty veterinary clinic, a church, and an athletic field recently acquired by Round Rock Christian Academy. Nearby development is generally one to one-and-a-half stories in height, with masonry used as a primary or accent material, with the exception of the assisted living facility.
At its July 15, 2026 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed PUD amendment by a vote of 7-0. There were no speakers at the public hearing. Staff recommends approval.
