Title
Consider public testimony regarding, and an ordinance rezoning 2.73 acres out of the Asa Thomas Survey, Abstract No. 609 from the SF-2 (Single Family Standard Lot) zoning district to the PUD (Planned Unit Development) No. 158 zoning district, generally located on the east side of Windy Park Drive and South of Gattis School Road. (First Reading)*
Body
History: The property is a 2.73-acre single family residential lot. Land to the north and south has developed into traditional single family subdivisions. The shape and size of this parcel limit the development of multiple residential lots in compliance with the SF-2 zoning district; therefore, a PUD is proposed.
Round Rock 2030 Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designates the property for residential development. The PUD proposes detached single family condominiums on a common lot which is in keeping with the land use designation. The Round Rock 2030 Comprehensive Plan recommends the City consider rezoning proposals that provide for a variety of housing forms and price points to meet the needs of our growing population. The intent is to enable a mixture of housing types within the city to meet all residents’ needs and preferences through all stages of life.
Traffic, Access, and Roads: The PUD proposes site access via one proposed private drive aisle from Windy Park Drive. The location of driveways and potential transportation improvements will be finalized during site plan review in accordance with city standards. This project will be subject to the typical roadway impact fees.
Proposed PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning: The proposed PUD allows for single family residential on a common lot and will utilize the TH (Townhouse) zoning district as the base district. The PUD development standards specify that residential units shall be established as condo units with a required homeowners association to be established for maintenance of private drives, common open spaces, community signage, walls and fencing, and areas that require irrigation and landscaping.
The development does not have a unit cap; however, the land area is such that setbacks and other requirements of the development standards will limit the number of residential structures that can fit on the parcel. The maximum building height shall be 2.5 stories in keeping with the neighborhood surrounding it, and each residential structure will provide a total of four parking spaces (two in a garage two in the driveway).
One amenity is proposed for the development, consisting of a private park area with a minimum size of 3,500 square feet to include picnic tables and grills, playground equipment, or other features.
On the east side of the property, there is an existing fencecrete compatibility fence separating the shopping center from the subject property. The PUD proposes a 6 foot tall wood fence along the north and south property lines adjacent to the abutting residential subdivisions. Along the Windy Park Drive frontage, fencing will vary depending on the proposed layout of the residential structures. Where the front facades of residential structures face Windy Park Drive, ornamental picket view fencing is permitted. Where residential structures are oriented so that side and rear yards face Windy Park Drive, street yard fencing shall be comprised of brick, stone, or precast concrete panel (commonly referred to as fencecrete).
Landscaping is proposed in the PUD development standards to include foundation treatment, an average of two 3 inch caliper large species trees per residential structure to be planted throughout the development, and streetscape plantings which include both tree and shrub/ornamental grass plantings.
Planning and Zoning Commission: On October 15, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the PUD with a vote of 6-0. Three commissioners were absent and there were no public speakers.
