CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: January 12, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Jordan, AICP
SUBJECT: Rezone approximately 7.3 acres of land from R-1 Single Family Residential to C-2
Commercial and R-3 Multi-Family Residential. (Z-1415).
Summary:
The applicant is proposing to rezone approximately 7.3 acres of land from R-1 Single Family
Residential to C-2 Commercial fronting N. Llano Street and R-3 Multi-Family Residential fronting on N.
Adams Street. The property is currently undeveloped and is bordered by a bank and church to the
east, the elementary school to the north, a cemetery to the south and undeveloped land to the west.
The owners intend to develop apartments on the property in the future.
Recommendation :
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning.
Staff concurs with the Commission's recommendation of approval. Since the owners will not be
available to attend the Council Meeting on January 191h , they have requested that action on this item
be considered at the February 2 meeting.

ZONING CHANGE BRIEF
Rezoning Request # Z-1415
OWNER/APPLICANT:
MacDonald and Associates, Inc.
LOCATION:
N. Llano Street, west of American Bank of Texas (See
attached map).
SIZE:
Approximately 7.3 acres.
EXISTING ZONING:
R-1, Single Family Residential
PROPOSED ZONING:
C-2 Commercial on portion fronting on N. Llano Street and
R-3 Multi-Family Residential on portion fronting on N.
Adams Street
FINDINGS:
•
•
•
•
•
The property is made up of two tracts extending from N. Llano Street to N.
Adams Street, and are currently undeveloped.
The properties were rezoned in the same manner being requested at this time in
2003, and subsequently rezoned back at the request of the property owners. The
accompanying map shows these properties.
Utilities are currently available to serve the properties.
The property adjoining the subject property to the north and south is zoned C-2
along N. Llano Street and R-2 Multi-family Residential on N. Adams Street. The
zoning on the adjoining property is identical to what is being requested.
The Land Use Plan identifies the property fronting on N. Llano Street as Mixed
Use Corridor and the area fronting N. Adams Street as Medium Density
Residential.
LAND USE PLAN: The Mixed Use designation represents an effort to change the
typical pattern of strips of underperforming commercial development that often line
highways and arterials. Rather than limiting the properties along major entry corridors to
commercial uses, this category offers a variety of higher density residential and mixed
use opportunities. The policy of allowing a mix of uses along major roadways supports a
change in development from a pattern of older commercial structures to new projects
with a variety of uses, including mixed use within an individual project or building. In
the process, it reduces the excess commercial capacity along these corridors and creates
locations for more affordable housing.
The Medium Density Residential category includes single family detached dwellings on
smaller lots and attached dwelling units, such as duplex and townhomes. Medium
density land uses often provide housing for "empty Nesters" who may not want the
maintenance of a large-lot single-family home, and for young families who may find a
townhome or duplex more affordable than a single-family home. They play an important
role in providing workforce housing as well. These residential uses can provide a buffer
between lower density residential areas and more intensive residential, non-residential or
mixed use areas.
ZONING: The proposed zoning will roughly split these tracts in half, with the half
fronting on N. Llano Street being C-2 Commercial and the half fronting on N. Adams
being R-3, Multi-family residential. This proposed zoning configuration would be
consistent and essentially identical to the existing zoning to the north and south (see the
attached zoning map).
OPPOSITION/SUPPORT OF REQUEST:
regarding this request.
We have not received any comments
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The proposed
zoning is consistent with the land use and zoning pattern on the adjoining properties. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request.

Narrative Information
Primary Mission and Purpose
The purpose of the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Formula Grant (JAG) Program is to prevent and control crime
and make improvements to the criminal justice system.
Funding Levels
The anticipated fund ing levels for the JAG program are as follows:
• Minimum Award - $10,000
• Maximum Award - None
• Match Required - None
For more information regarding grantee match, please click on the Budget tab, and then click on the Source of
Match tab in eGrants.
Note: If you voluntarily include matching funds that exceed the minimum match requirement, you will be held to
that amount throughout the grant period.
Program Requirements
Purpose Areas
Applicant assures that its proposed project meets at least one of the following Purpose Areas to be eligible for
funding:
Law Enforcement - Supports state and local law enforcement agencies that address violent crime or statistically
supported major crime initiatives at the local level.
Prosecution and Court - Programs that improve the prosecution of serious and violent crimes, including those that
reduce the time from arrest to disposition.
Technology - Programs that implement or expand a law enforcement agency's ability to report and analyze cr ime.
Applicant assures that any criminal intelligence databases developed under this program will comply with 28 CFR
Part 23.
Corrections and Community Corrections - Programs that reintegrate adults and juveniles into the community.
Drug Treatment - Programs that target substance abuse treatment for juveniles or adults who have been court
ordered to participate, including drug courts and projects that serve as alternat ives to incarceration.
Priorities
@
Crime Data - Enhancements to records management systems to allow law enforcement agencies to report crime
data to the Texas Department of Public Safety in the National Incident Based Numbering System (NIBRS) format or
to the Texas Data Exchange System (TDEx).
Mental Health - Specialized training to increase the number of mental health officers and the ability of law
enforcement to work with individuals diagnosed with mental illness.
Trafficking - Projects that disrupt drug and human trafficking including areas along and near major state corridors.
System Improvements - Projects that promote efficiency, accuracy and credibility of law enforcement agencies and
prosecutors.
Innovative or Evidence Based Programs - Projects that reduce crime and violence in areas with high crime rates or
organized criminal activity.
Select the one priority that represents the primary focu s of your project:
Crime Data
Mental Health
_ Trafficking
X. System Improvements
_ I nnovative or Evidence Based Programs
_ N/A
Describe how the project supports the selected priority( ies):
Note: Purchasing equipment does not meet a priority unless you can clearly state how the purchase has a direct
link to the priority. For example, purchasing laptops for patrol cars does not relate to updating records
management systems to generate NIBRS data to DPS since the changes involve software not hardware.
Portable Variable Traffic Message Sign Boards will assist law enforcement in managing traffic by providing motorists
with timely, accurate information relating to re-routing, closures, and/or hazards in emergency and non-emergency
situations, both within Gillespie County and contiguous counties. It is efficient because motorists can read pertinent
information, which will save time and man-power since motorists will receive necessary information from a created
message rather than directly from an officer. It will be used during major long term accident investigations, special
events, at crime scenes requiring detouring of traffic, severe weather, and for the reduction of speed in high traffic
areas.
Program Income
Applicant agrees to comply with all federal and state rules and regulations for program income and agrees to report
all program income that is generated as a result of the project's activities. Applicant agrees to report program
income to CJD through a formal grant adjustment and to secure CJD approval prior to use of the program income.
Applicant agrees to use program income for allowable costs and agrees to expend program income immediately
after CJD's approval of a grant adjustment and prior to requesting reimbursement of CJD funds.
Deduction Method - Program income shall be deducted from total allowable costs to determine the net allowable
costs. Program income shall be used for current costs unless CJD authorizes otherwise. Program income which the
grantee did not anticipate at the time of the award shall be used to reduce the CJD award and grantee match
rather than to increase the funds committed to the project.
Note: Program income must be spent on project expenses before expending OOG grant funds. Program income is
subject to the same statutes, rules, regulations, and guidelines applicable to the use of the DOG-funded portion of
the grant.
Asset Seizures and Forfeitures - Program income from asset seizures and forfeitures is considered earned when the
property has been adjudicated to the benefit of the plaintiff (e.g., law enforcement entity).
Uniform Cri me Reporting
Applicant assures that if it operates a law enforcement agency, the agency is current and has been current in
reporting required Part I violent crime data for the three previous years to the Texas Department of Public Safety,
and will continue timely reporting of required crime data throughout the grant period.
Criminal History Reporting
Entities receiving funds from CJD must be located in a county that has an average of 90% or above on both adult
and juvenile dispositions entered into the computerized criminal history database maintained by the Texas
Department of Public Safety (DPS) as directed in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 60. The
disposition completeness percentage is defined as the percentage of arrest charges a county reports to DPS for
which a disposition has been subsequently reported and entered into the computerized criminal history system.
Constitutional Compliance
Applicant assures that it will not engage in any activity that violates Constitutional Jaw including profiling based
upon race.
Information Systems
Applicant assures that any new criminal justice information systems will comply with data sharing standards for the
Global Justice XML Data Model and the National Information Exchange Model.
Bulletproof Vests
Applicant assures that if it plans to purchase body armor with grant funds, that it has adopted a mandatory wear
policy.

Problem Statement:
Please provide a detailed account in the Problem Statement section of the existing issues your project will target.
Enter your problem statement:
Fredericksburg has two U.S. Highways and one State Highway that converge in the downtown Fredericksburg area.
Fredericksburg is also a tourist destination that frequently sees over a million visitors annually. The City of
Fredericksburg is in need of portable variable traffic message sign boards to alert traffic and give motorists
information regarding road closures due to special events, severe weather, or other situations where motorists
must be notified of pertinent information to improve roadway safety. Currently, there is no viable means of
notification for motorists and visitors.
Supporting Data:
Provide as much supporting data, to include baseline statistics and the sources of your data, which are pertinent to
where the grant project is located and/or targeted. Do not use statewide data for a local problem or national data
for a statewide problem.
Enter your supporting data:
Portable Variable Traffic Message Signs are electronic signs that can be programmed with custom or preprogrammed messages. The sign boards are affixed to a trailer with a solar panel for use that require a longer
periods of time. The sign boards can also be removed from the trailer and affixed to a pole with a battery back
included with the sign board for quick portability for short term use. Fredericksburg is located in the Hill Country of
Texas with a population of 10,530 (according to the 2010 US Census) and encompasses 6.64 square miles. It is the
county seat of Gillespie County with a population of 24,837 in 1,058 square miles. A major part of Fredericksburg's
economy is tourism to the downtown area for the various antique shops and other business, museums, and wine
tours. According to the Fredericksburg Visitor's Bureau, they estimate that Fredericksburg receives approximately
1.5 million visitors a year. Fredericksburg also has several major highways running through it to include, US Hwy
290, US Hwy 87, and State Hwy 16, and all three converge in the downtown area of Fredericksburg. Due to the
terrain in the Hill Country, areas in the City and County are subject to flooding, which require barricades to prevent
motorists from entering flooded areas. During freezing weather, some roads become impassable due to ice and
must be closed. During severe weather, portable sign boards will be used to make motorists aware of hazards they
may encounter as well as road closures wit h alterna te routes. A 2012 Traffic count from the Texas Department of
Transportation resulted in 13,700 vehicles counted in Downtown Fredericksburg (US Hwy 290) in a 24 hour period
( weekday). As mentioned above, Fredericksburg is a tourist destination that sees an unusually high amount of
traffic particularly on weekends. The City hosts a number of events to support this trade. Fredericksburg has three
parades a year that take place in the downtown area, which requires traffic to be routed off of US Hwy 290 for 7 to
8 blocks. Variable message sign boards will be used to direct traffic to Alternate routes. Fredericksburg also has
special events, such as Oktoberfest, which is a three day event that requires road closures as well for the weekend.
According to the event planner, Deborah Lynn Farquhar Inc, Oktoberfest alone had approximately 21,000 visitors
excluding vendors and staff (based on sales at the gate). Additionally, the police department assists with traffic for
a number of 5k/10k races and a 100 mile Gran Fondo bicycle race that takes place in Fredericksburg and Gillespie
County annually. Variable message sign boards will alert motorists of runners and bicyclists to help prevent
pedestrian/cyclist collisions. Also, tourist extend their visit to areas throughout the City and County to include:
State Parks, Luckenbach, Wineries, Trade Shows, and Nat ure Acitivities. The requested sign boards will greatly
increase our ability to communicate with visitors as they move about the County. Further more, sign boards will be
used for crime scenes, fire scenes, and major accidents where traffic will be detoured for longer periods of time to
facilitate the movement of traffic around the affected area. Lastly, each sign board is equipped with radar, which
will be used to notify motorists of their speed, which can further reduce accidents.
Community Plan:
For projects that have a local or regional impact target area, provide information regarding the community plan
need(s) that your project will/ address.
Enter your community planning needs:
The 2014 Gillespie County Criminal Justice Plan identifies three areas for Law Enforcement. The number one
priority was interoperability communications systems, which was funded by the City. The third priority identified
lack of portable signage to direct/manage traffic in emergency or non-routine situations. The response is to
purchase programmable mobile sign trailers that can be positioned in different areas when needed to notify drivers
of severe road conditions and or information as to alternate routes of travel. The Portable Variable Message Traffic
Sign requested will resolve this problem.
Goal Statement:
Provide a brief description of the overall goals and objectives for this project.
Enter a description for the overall goals and objectives:
The goal of the Portable Variable Traffic Message Sign Boards is to reduce traffic collisions and improve safety by
providing motorists with timely information about road conditions and closures during emergency and nonemergency situations.
Cooperative Working Agreement (CWA):
When a grantee intends to carry out a grant project through cooperating or participating with one or more outside
organizations, the grantee must obtain authorized approval signatures on the cooperative working agreement
(CWA) from each participating organization. Grantees must maintain on file a signed copy of all cooperative
working agreements, and they must submit to CJD a list of each participating organization and a description of the
purpose of each CWA . Cooperative working agreements do not involve an exchange of funds.
For this project, provide the name of the participating organization(s) and a brief description of the purpose(s) for
the CWA(s) . You should only provide information here that this project's successful operation is contingent on for
the named service or participation from the outside organization.
Note: A Sample CWA is available here for your convenience.
Enter your cooperating working agreement(s):
Continuation Projects:
For continuation projects only, if your current or previous year's project is NOT on schedule in accomplishing the
stated objectives, briefly describe the major obstacles preventing your organization from successfully reaching the
project objectives as stated within your previous grant application. (Data may be calculated on a pro-rated basis
depending on how Jong the current or previous year's project has been operating.)

Project Summary:
Briefly summarize the entire application, including the project's problem statement, supporting data, goal, target
group, activities, and objectives. Be sure that the summary is easy to understand by a person not familiar with
your project and that you are confident and comfortable with the information if it were to be released under a
public information request.
Enter your summary statement for this project:
The City of Fredericksburg is in need of Portable Variable Traffic Message Sign boards to alert motorists of road
closures, special events, and other emergency situations occurring in the City of Fredericksburg and County of
Gillespie as noted as one of the priorities of the 2014 Gillespie County Cr iminal Justice Community Plan. Due to
Fredericksburg's tourist industry and the fact that three major highways converge in downtown Fredericksburg, the
City often receives an unusually high amount of traffic, which requires a means for the City to be able to deploy
signage quickly to respond to unusual circumstances. Special events that occur annually in Fredericksburg also
require prompt notification of drivers of alternate routes and/or hazards that may be in the roadway. The goal of
purchasing sign boards is to promote safety by providing timely information in an effort to prevent traffic collisions
by deploying the signs at various locations that require notification.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
TO:
FROM: Clinton Bailey, Director of Public Works and Utilities
SUBJECT: Frantzen Park Revitalization
Summary:
One of the major requirements of the Leadership Gillespie County program is for the group to complete
a class project. During their class meeting on October 8, 2014, the 2015 Leadership Gillespie County
class voted unanimously for the " Revitalization of Frantzen Park" to be its class project. Members of the
Leadership Gillespie County Class of 2015 will make a short presentation to the City Council in order to
provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed project.
Recommendation:
N/A
Frantzen Park is located at 400 South Orange Street in Fredericksburg. The area that the park occupies
was donated to the City by Alex and Laura Frantzen in 1956. The park, which is roughly 2 acres in size,
includes basic park amenities such as a swing set and park benches but has much potential with over

800 linear feet of Barones Creek frontage and a pedestrian bridge crossing the creek which provides a
critical connection to neighborhood areas north of the creek.
The 2015 Leadership Gillespie County class has been working diligently on the development of a
proposal for a phased approach to making improvements to the park. The Leadership Class will be
responsible for the initial phase of the project which may include items such as a fa irly intensive cleanup
of the park and creek area, construction of a new stone park entrance, new picnic benches, installation
of basic playground equipment, planting of trees and the construction of a granite gravel trail around
the perimeter of the park. Additional phases of the project which the City may consider for future
funding may include more major park amenities such as a small parking area, half basketball court and
additional playground equipment.

This letter responds to your request for our recommendation concerning East
Austin and North Lee Streets that border the Ruff Haus and the Pacific Combat Zone.
As you know, the Admiral Nimitz Foundation owns the Ruff Haus property at the
comer of North Elk and East Austin Streets. The Foundation also owns the
unimproved property bound by North Lee Street on the West, the old City Cemetery
on the North.
The Foundation's Board of Directors plans to retain both Foundation
properties in support of The National Museum of the Pacific War. The State of Texas
owns the Pacific Combat Zone property bordered by East Austin and North Lee
Streets. The Texas Historical Commission is the State's Executive Agent for the State
owned National Museum of the Pacific War and all associated properties.
After discussions with the staff at the Texas Historical Commission, we
recommend that the City transfer ownership of East Austin Street between North Elk
Street and North Lee Street, and North Lee Street from East Austin Street to alleyaccess road that borders the North side of the Pacific Combat Zone to the State of
Texas (See Enclosure I .)

- There are no residences on the sections of streets identified. Either Schubert
or Travis Streets provide easy access to the cemetery and to residents on Schubert
Street.
- On Living History weekends, we would turn those sections of East Austin
and North Lee Streets bordering the Pacific Combat Zone into one-way traffic and
restrict access to event visitors (See Enclosure 2.) We have perfected this procedure
during 2014 without complaints or inconvenience.
®
We inspire our youth by honoring our heroes
- The Foundation and the State strongly support the proposed "trail" on the
North side of Town Creek. The proposed change in responsibility would have no
impact on any "trail" decision.
- Appropriate access would be maintained for emergency and utility
personnel/vehicles by the Foundation.
- The Foundation and State would support any necessary easements in order to
ensure access to utilities under the two streets.
- The Foundation would continue to coordinate with the City on any issues
involving the subject street sections.
