“It’s very much an undeveloped section of Georgetown,” Ryan Clark, long range and neighborhood planning manager for the city, said at the meeting.
The details
The project is designed as a walkable community, with retail along the highway frontage and residential behind it, according to city documents. The development plan includes:
- Up to 425 residential units with a minimum of three housing types
- At least 10 acres of commercial space
- A 10-foot concrete regional trail that connects with Dry Berry Creek
- Open space on one-third of the site
- Amenities, such as playgrounds and dog parks
Digging deeper
Proposed housing types for this development include a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and several multifamily options, including “cottage courts,” which are centered around a courtyard area, according to city documents.
At least 40% of the residential units on the site must be single-family homes or individual townhome lots, according to city documents.
The development will also utilize alleys rather than driveways, have trees along the streets at 40-foot intervals, and some homes will have frontage onto open space rather than public streets.
“[This is] different from a lot of what we’ve seen in Georgetown before,” Clark said.
What’s next
City Council will consider final approval of the development at its Jan. 27 meeting.
