M E M O R A N D UM TO: FROM: Codes and Ordinances Joint Committee (COJC) Lauren Middleton-Pratt, Director, Planning Department DATE: October 15, 2024 SUBJECT: Item #4 – North Burnet/Gateway (NBG) Reg Plan Signage on 10/16/2024 Agenda Staff is requesting to pull Item #4 – NBG Reg Plan Signage from the October 16, 2024 COJC agenda to allow time for staff to receive additional direction from Council to consider the proposed amendments. Prior amendments to signage regulations in the NBG were implemented in 2023, however, the proposed language as written will need additional Council direction. Based on this, staff recommends pulling the item from the agenda and will return with new language after direction is given. If you have any questions, please contact Jorge E.

Austin Sprawl in the Country Carol Pennington Hays Residents for Land and Water Protection Impervious Cover in the Country The Hays ETJ was created in 1979 to avoid the sprawl of Austin Hays County has no impervious cover limits because they have minimum lot size of 3/4 acre over the recharge zone 500 acres currently has 0% impervious cover In my neighborhood, the largest lot is 159 acres with many lots 1 acre or larger All less than 10% impervious cover, many less than 5% All on well water from the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers All on OSSFs with no pollution to the aquifer Future Sprawl After Hays Commons What is to prevent more removal from the ETJ for high density subdivisions The Parkland is Not Developable 1. Wetland 2. Stock pond 3. Stock pond 4. Stock pond 5. Parking lot 6. Total four acres 7. Environmental features 1 2,3 1 2 3 7 4 56 4 5,6 7
There’s no reason to grant Milestone an impervious cover variance from 15% to 25% because their only option is a COA SER/MUD: • No reliable water source to achieve anything close to 467,500 gallons/day (per BSEACD)… 55K gallons/day is current largest groundwater permit • Hays County Commissioners Court already rejected Milestone’s preliminary plat on environmental grounds (plat was based on TLAP for wastewater). TLAP = No Plat Approval • Hays County also requires minimum 3/4 acre lots for any development using groundwater… not the 1/8 to 1/5 acre lots currently proposed to COA Milestone’s argument that “they can’t make money” unless the SOS Variance is granted is FALSE They previously submitted a preliminary plat to Hays County which complied with SOS Ordinance (condo- based plat). Milestone may have gotten at the prospect of a COA SER/MUD based on high density development of single-family homes over the recharge zone Milestone would have trouble finding a decent $$ buyer for the land now because their plat rejection was all over the news: If the SOS Ordinance variance doesn’t make sense for COA, then initiating the process of the SOS Ordinance variance doesn’t make sense either
