CITY COUNCIL GOAL: Beautify and Enhance the Quality of Place
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ELEMENT(s): Parks, Public Spaces and Facilities: Goal 1 - “Well-maintained public facilities that meet the need of our community.”
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is approximately 22 acres located on Uhland Road between IH-35 and the Blanco River. This site is zoned Public (P) and is the location of the Hays County Jail, which the County of Hays recently passed a bond election to expand and improve. The first phase of the proposed improvements includes two new metal buildings.
These buildings, identified as buildings F and G, are a fleet vehicle maintenance building and a future training center respectively. As proposed, the Primary Material is insulated metal panel, while the Secondary Material is glazing/glass.
If the Council chooses to approve the request, Staff recommends that they consider adding the following conditions:
1. Vertical landscaping requirements that exceed base code.
a. 1 shade tree for every 30 liner feet along Uhland Road, instead of every 50 feet as required by the base code.
b. 1 understory tree for every 30 liner feet to be located within 50 feet of the privacy fence where adjacent to any commercial or residential zoning district.
2. Privacy fence shall be constructed of decorative metal or masonry.
