li. A new Section 34 to read as follows:
Section 34 PRD-6 PLANNED RESIDENTZAL DISTRICT
A. PREAMHLE. Th� PRD-6 District is desiqned to accom-
modate loM d�asity residential development in
tccosdance vith the Comprehensive Master Plan. The
Distsict provides tor two methods ot developenent:
l. Standard �Developtaent permita single family
detached residential use at deasities not
exceeding four (4) dwelliag units per gross
scre subject to the same restrictions as apply
in the R-7.5 District.
2. Plaaned Development is an optional form of
development which may be permitted provided an
applicant submits and the City Council
.
appzoves a !laster Development Plan !or the
p=operty. In a planned development mixed
, resideatial uses are permitted provided tht
predominant portion of the land is developed
with single family detached residences and the
over-all density does not exceed six (6)
dwelliAq units per acre.
H. PORPOSE.
The purpose of the staadard form of development in
the PRD-6 District is to pesmit aa owner, as a
matter of riqht, to develop detached sinqle tamily
on lots not less than 7,500 square feet in area.
The purpose ot the optioatl Planned Developmeat
method is to promote tlexibility in design aad
planned diversification in the type and location of
stsuctuses; to promote the etticient use of land by
aore economic arrsaqement ot buildings, circulation
systems, land use and utilities; to preserve to the
qreatest exteat possible usable open space recrea-
tion tacilities aad community facility areas,
existing landscape teatures and natural site condi-
tiona; to combine aad coordinate architectural
atylea, building forms aad buildinq relationship
and to assure a quality ot construction commen-
surate with surroundinq residential development.
C. 'lNTENT.
• The PRD-6 District is designed to provide for
developmeat as a matter of right in conformity with
,
the regulations and restrictions in the A-7.5
Singit Family Residentisl Distzict, or, alterna-
tively, to provide for development with a variety
of housiag types at s density not exceedinq six (6)
dwellinq units per acre in conformity Mith a Master
Development Plan, approved by the City Council
pursuant to Section �6 of this Ordiaaace aAd the
standarda and restrictioaa in this Sectioa 34. For
this reason, the proposed inclusioa of s misture of
typea o! dwelliag uaits in a PRD-6 Planaed Develop-
a�at shall aot be a ground �or disapproval of a
proposed Master Development Plan. The PRD-6 Dis-
trict is not intended to provide an aiternative set
o! development� requlatioas that may, throuqh tbe
rezoning process, be used interchangeably with the
R-7.5, R-12.5 aor R-20 District requlations. The
PRD-6 District is specifically desiqaed and
intended to provide a more tlexible classification,
with a broader range of development options, for
those properties on vhich greater residential
densities were permitted under the 19�0 and 1982
Zoning Ordinances of the City, as amended from time
to time, but on which the pezmitted resideatial
denaities must be reduced so the zoaing sestric-
� tions will be in contormity with the tecommendation
in the Comprehensive Master P�an. The PRD-6
segulations are desiqned to espand the uses to
Which property that would otherwise have been
reatzictively reclassitied in the R-7.5 zone may be
devoted aad thus enhance the range of economically
viable uses �or such parcels of land. The PRD-6
regulationa are not iateaded to be used to supplant
the regulations !or the A-20, A-12.5, and it-75
Districts, and the PRD-6 regulations shall not be
used ss a substitute foz such classilicatfoas oa
property that hsa previously beea so classitied.
Nor ase the PRD-6 r�gulatioas iateaded to be
employed as a means for eseating standard, qsid
subdivisions of lots that are smaller than 7,500
square teet. The PRD-6 requlations are inteaded to
� encouraqe imaginative and aesthetically pleasing
developanant deaiqaa utilizing smaller lots. To
that ead, the PRD-6 requlations•are designed to
encouraqe the clustering ot sinqle lamily lots that
are smallez than 7,500 square feet and the incor-
pozation of laad that vould othervise be devoted to
private yards in passive sad active commoa open
sense.
D. STANDARD OEVELOP1rlENT OPTION. Any use permftted in

SECTION 69. -- DETERMINATZON OF VESTED RIGHTS
A. Upon application the Boud of Adjustment may authorize,
as a special exception to the otherwise applicable pzo-
visions of this ordinance, the issuance of buildinq per-
mits for a specific pzoposed development that is not
permitted by the tezms of the zoninq ordinance whenever
the Board finds that the applicant has demonatrated that
he had a pre-existing, investment-backed, qood faith
expectation that he would be permitted to commence and
complete a apecific propoaed development that has vested
under the standards set out in Paragraphs C, D, and E of
this Section 69.
B. 1) For the purpcse of this Section G9, an "investment-
backed expectation" is defined as the expenditure of
subatantial sums of moncy which cannot be recovered
oz an irreversible change of position that imposes
on the applicant an obligation to expend substantial
sums of money in the future.
C �-
2) For the purpose of this Section 69, the "date of
notice that rezoninq is in progress" shall be Auqust 2,
1983, foz a property included in the "moratorium area"
by Resolution No. 83-34, passed and approved on
September 6, 1983, as amended. In the case
of all othez properties hezeafter zezoned, the "date
of a notice of rezoninq in proqresa" shall be the
date that a notice of a public hearing on the pzo-
posed rezoniaq ia first published in the official
newspaper of the City of Grapevine.
C. In considering whether a development expectation has vested,
the Board shall consider:
1) Whether there has been an act of the City of Gzapevine
or an officer or agency of the City upon which the
applicant in qood faith has relied to his detziment
in a manner that makes it inequitnble to enforce the
terms of the currently effective zoning regulations
with respect to the applicant's property.
2) The extent to which Lhe applicant has, prior to the
� . date of notice that rezoning is in proqress, made a
substantial commitment of money or resouzces directly
associated with physical improvements on the land
such as qradinq, land balancing, installation of
utility infrastzucture or other public improvements,
or for the desiqn of specific buildinqs and improve-
menta to be constzucted on the site.
3) The �xtent to which the applicant has secuzed permits
for, and commenced oz completed, the constzuction of
subdivisicn impzovea�ents and building• in pazt but not
all of a developtaent that was conte:aplated to extend
over a period of mcnths or years.
4) Whether Lhe applicant prior �to the date of notice
that rezoninq is in proqreas haa made contractual
commitments to complete buildinqs and deliver title
thereto or occupancy thezeof.
5) Whether prior to the date of notice that rezoning
is in proqress the applicant has incurred financial
obliqations to a lending institution which, despite
a thorough review of alternative solutions, the
applicant will be unable to meet unless he is per-
mitted to proceed with the proposed development.
6) Whether enfozcement of the terms of the currently
effective zoainq requlations will expose the appli-
cant to substantial monetary liability to third
per,sons; or will leave the applicant completely
unable, after a thorouqh review of alternative
� solutions, to earn a reasonable return on the
property.
7) i�Thether the riqht of the applicant to oom�aence and
complete the pzoposed development may have veeted
only with respect to an identifiable and discrete
portion of the proposed development.
D. The riqht of the applicant to commence and complete
construction of a �pecific proposed development, oz a
portion thereof, ia vested if the applicant can demon-
atrate that:
1) He owned the parcel proposed to be developed on
the date of notice that rezoninq waa in progress
with respect to such parcel and the specific develop-
ment proposed for the parcel was then lawful and per-
mitted.
2) Applying the considerations aet out in Paraqzaph C
of this Section 69� the development expectations
of the applicant were reasonable and final when
� formulated and were investment-backed.
3) Requirinq that the applicant'� property be developed
in accordance with the currently effective zoning
reatrictions will, considering the inves tinent of
� applicant prior to the date of notice that rezoning
is in pzogzesa, deprive the applicant of a zeason-
able rate of retuzn on his investsnent. In determin-
inq the reasonableness of the projected rate of return,
the followinq categories of expenditures shall not be
iacluded in the calculation of the applicant'� invest-
ment: -
a) Expeaditures for professional services that
are unrelated to the desiqn or constzuction
of the improvements pzoposed for the projected
development.
' b) Expenditures for taxes except for any increases
in tax expenditures which reault from qovern-
mental appzovals or the construction of improve-
ments on the property of the applicant.
c) Expenditures which the applicant has allocated
to the particular proposed development but which
the applicant would have been obliqe8 to incur
as an ordinary and necessary businesa expense
(for example, employee salazies, equipment
rental, chattel mortqaqe psyments) had the plan
for the particular development not been formulate
E. The fact that property has been or is in a particular zonin
classification under this ordinance, or any prior zoning
ordinance of the City, shall not, in it�elf, establish
that aa applicant's riqht to develop has vested.
g, p,ny petson, firm, or corpozation havinq an ownership intere
in property may file an application foz a determination tha
the ziqht to com�nence and cono�lete a specific development
on that property has vested. Such spplication shall be

of the facts which are claimed to support the vested riqhts
claim, and shall contain such other information as the City
Manaqer may specify.
' G. A public hearinq shall be held by the Board of Adjustment
on an application foz a vested riqhts aetermination. At

application the Soard of Adjustment shall file its written
findings of fact and conclu�ions and serve the �ame by
certified mail on the applicant and each person who filed
an appearance in the public heariaq.
J. 1�r�y determination made by the Board with respect to the
vestinq of development riqhts shall be the minimuta neces-
sary to provide the applicant with a rsasoaable rate of
return on 2►is investment made b�fore a notice of rezoning
in proqres: with respect to bis property.
K. A determination of the Board with respect to vested riqhts
under this Section 69 shall expire and be of no further
