Planning and development director David Harrow told the council the replacement consolidates and clarifies site development processes, application requirements, pre‑development meeting rules and the materials applicants must submit. The amendment applies to nonresidential site development — commercial, industrial, multi‑family and similar projects — and excludes single‑family lots, duplexes on a lot, and agricultural uses.

Harrow said Chapter 22 also formalizes the use of Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) for qualifying developments and establishes scope and review procedures. “We’re also adding traffic impact analysis requirements in as well … just as you looked at tonight as part of this PDD modification process for these items as well,” Harrow said.

The city staff report noted the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the change unanimously (5–0) in July 2024 and that the draft ordinance spells out the specific submittal materials and review steps staff needs to review and permit nonresidential developments.

Council moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-007 as presented; the motion was seconded and the ordinance passed with recorded “Aye” votes and no oppositions listed in the minutes.

The ordinance replaces the prior site‑plan provisions and is intended to create clearer expectations for applicants and to ensure staff and outside reviewers have consistent scoping and submittal requirements — including when a traffic impact study is required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 18, 2025 - City Council Workshop & Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Robinson replaced the site‑plan provisions of Chapter 11 with a new Chapter 22 site development code, formalizing processes and adding traffic‑impact analysis requirements for non‑single‑family projects.","taxTitle","Robinson, McLennan County, Texas","taxId",69563,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6120477,"Council adopts revised master fee schedule; staff corrects water deposit and formalizes fees",2419,663000,3082000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2707475-294172db9515f91ee3f6d0659faba3f5&start=663&end=3082","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2707475-294172db9515f91ee3f6d0659faba3f5/thumbnail_663000.jpg","/articles/6120477/Robinson/McLennan-County/Texas/Council-adopts-revised-master-fee-schedule-staff-corrects-water-deposit-and-formalizes-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120477-c178848b2019297888bd53f6ed71850f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773584269&Signature=VUuhbafTIAUYASUhQK4bykZWSa7gExlmp6-p-NzjkoCiK-8AcryS-UvetXmOydacXQnAV~CMCLpvlpJ9uqQ-J7SzKohlicFwEQpnyNYbK5-BLB8sd8Xe41AV~iWCYl4CAuvbM6yv6upkBBsJStK8i1~rKQIsIxhhLD5KSKe-q8d3~2U5~WMKkA6MU~P9ck7KfeqQITng0Gd743qwzrqLPdbWAZHpXBZugfZrTocL-e8qTSBWzFiTzdFrWFwbyZcuT6JgN099dhdcj8qRtf0~pP-aqCSlSSeEZWA6VzQThtLhlhzqkd1FhmUgdh4MP1stlqgmP9soVsmnHeqo9M7Kng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robinson City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025-005, which amends and replaces Appendix C (master fee schedule) of the city’s Code of Ordinances. The ordinance was approved on the consent agenda.

City staff explained the update was prompted by a discovered error in the water deposit listed on the fee schedule. “The water deposit fee was incorrect … It was on the fee schedule. It’s a hundred and $33. It’s actually only $75,” a staff member told the council. That correction led staff to review other charges and list fees to reflect the actual cost to the city.

Staff told the council the revision does not increase fees generally; where amounts changed they were set at actual city cost. The staff presentation noted several specific items: the amphitheater rental is set at $50 per hour, the gazebo at $25 per hour and the pavilion at $30 per hour with a two‑hour minimum. Staff also stated fees listed under municipal court were updated to reflect state‑set amounts where the city does not set those fees.

Council approved the consent agenda item by motion and second; the minutes record a unanimous vote with no individual vote breakdown included in the public minutes.

The ordinance repeals conflicting provisions, contains a severability clause and provides an effective date and open‑meetings statement as required. City staff said the fee schedule will be reviewed regularly; planning and development fees had been monitored more frequently and staff said moving several fees to an “actual cost to the city” basis should reduce the need for frequent adjustments.

The ordinance modifies Planned Development District (PDD) ordinance 2019-002 for about 48.67 acres at 710 E. Stegall Drive (McLennan County Appraisal District Property ID 158319). The change creates 92 additional lots in the modified area, bringing the PDD to 168 proposed lots for the modified portion and to 212 total lots in the entire PDD after the amendment.

City planning and development director David Harrow told the council the proposal would change the development’s standards so that most of the modified area would be built to an SF‑3 standard of about 6,000 square feet per lot, configured as 50 feet by 120 feet rather than the 60 by 100 typical for SF‑3.

Harrow said staff’s primary technical concern was traffic on Stegall Drive: “With the new development, you will generate a total of 168 lots … You’ll generate 292 trips at 1.74 and PM peak hour trips,” and staff recommended requiring a TIA and any recommended mitigation be implemented during the plat and construction process. Harrow also noted the proposal preserves floodplain and open‑space areas and that staff viewed the other zoning changes as “minor in nature.”

Adrienne Donasucci, land development manager for WBW Development, said the applicant will keep lots out of the floodplain and maintain roughly 12 acres of FEMA‑mapped floodplain as open space, plus about 4 additional acres of open space throughout the site for a total she described as about 16 acres of open space. “We tend not to do that and pull all of our lots outside of the flood plain,” Donasucci said, adding that the open space would be maintained by a homeowners association and that the applicant has already engaged a traffic engineer and is prepared to scope and fund the TIA if the council requires it.

Council members discussed lot configuration, setbacks and the distance between homes; several members said the proposed product mix could help meet local demand for smaller, more affordable single‑family homes. One council member noted the city’s recent resident survey showing concerns about affordable housing availability and said the project “fits that niche.”

The planning and zoning commission had recommended denial on a 3–1 vote; because PDD modifications are treated like rezonings, council approval required a supermajority (six of seven members). Council moved to approve the ordinance with the TIA condition written into Exhibit B of the proposed ordinance text. The motion was seconded and passed; the vote was recorded as in favor and opposed without individual tallies recorded in the minutes.

The council’s action adds a condition that a traffic impact analysis addressing the 168 proposed lots be submitted with the preliminary plat. The ordinance directs that recommendations from the TIA — whether fees, construction, or a combination — be carried out by the developer as part of the preliminary plat, final plat and subdivision construction processes.

Next steps described by city staff and the applicant: the developer will submit the preliminary plat and the TIA, staff and the city’s third‑party traffic engineer will review the study, and recommended mitigations will be resolved as part of the platting and permitting process before construction begins.

Votes at a glance: the council approved the PDD modification with the TIA condition; the planning commission had recommended denial 3–1. The council’s minutes do not list individual yes/no vote names for the final council vote.","The Robinson City Council approved changes to the Windmill Preserve planned development district to allow smaller lots and add open space, subject to a traffic impact analysis to mitigate effects on Stegall Drive.","actionData","errors"]
