Absent: Oliver & Dyer WORKSHOP The City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission were then to conduct a work- shop and revic�a session relative to the proposed amenc�nts to the Comprehen- sive Zoning Ordinance and the zoning map and the proposed schedule of events for the city instigated zoning. (2) O1/24/84 It was noted that one major area of concern to be discussed should be the pro- posed planned residential districts, "PRD-6" and "PRD-12", whether they are workable in the City of Grapevine, and what other alternatives might be. Mr. Tony Wiles, consulting planner, then cited his reasons for including the "PRD-6" and "PRD-12" zoning districts in the proposal, adding that, in his opinion, density is the primazy control of a development. He noted these pro- posed districts would be limited to those tracts of land for which the Master Plan rec�nded a reduction to a more restrictive zoning in order to comply �� with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Wiles advised that it was his opinion the City's alternative to adapting the "PRD-6" and "PRD-12" districts would be to rezone those tracts a straight "R-7.5" Single-Family �� District or let thesn remain at their current high density zoning. NOTE: Council Nlember Larry Oliver arrived during this discussion. Mr. Wiles then answered questions frcan the City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission relative to his presentation. Mr. Marlin Shlith, consulting legal counsel, addressed the Council and Comnis- sion. He noted that, from a legal standpoint, the planned residential dis- tricts gave some fle,xibility to a developer by giving him an alternative to a straight "R-7.5" Single-Family District zoning, and they preserve the defensibility of the City's position. Follawing a period of questions and comnents from the Planning & Zoning Ccxmlission, a brief recess was called by the Ma.yor. Upon reconvening in the Council Chambers m�mentarily, all me.mbers of the City Council and the Planning & Zoning Canmission were present, with the exception of Council Member Dyer. Detailed questions fran the Planning & Zoning Cananission continued, with Mr. Wiles and Mr. S7ni.th responding. Some of the areas of concern included land- � ' scaping and parking requirements. The proposed "LB" Limited Business and "HC" Highway C�rcial districts were also addressed briefly. � $ A lengthy discussion follawed, during which Mr. Wiles and Mr. Smith responded to questions and co�m�ents frcgn the City Council. One issue considered was the possibility of taking those tracts designated for "PRD-6" and "PRD-12" under the proposal and rezoning them "R-7.5" Single-Family District in order to e�edite the rezoning process within the moratoritnn period. Those tracts could then be dealt with in detail follawing the lifting of the moratoritun. No fornial action was taken by the City Council or the Planning & Zoning Ca�ussion. It was noted that an additional workshop would be held on Wednesday, January 25, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council ChamUers to further consider the pro- posed amendm�nts to the Com�rehensive Zoning Ordinance.
