Section 51 mandated that as new residential developments occurred within the City, sufficient land was dedicated or set aside for usable open space and recreational space for parks, playgrounds, picnic areas etc. All properties that fell within any of the single family detached zoning districts (R-20, R-12.5, R-7.5 and R-5.0) were required to dedicate 300 square feet per dwelling unit to this open space requirement. In certain cases a fee was paid in lieu of the dedication. Based upon a request from the Director of the Parks and Recreation, it was recommended that the "R-TH" Townhouse District be added to the list of those zoning districts that require the separate dedication of usable open space. Staff recommended utilizing the same open space fee as the "R- 5.0" zoning district, which is $1,416 per lot/unit. The "R-5.0" zoning district is the most dense development district and is the closest to the "R-TH" Townhouse District. For whatever reason yet undetermined, the "R-TH" Townhouse District was never included in the list of districts requiring dedication of open space. It was the only remaining individually platted residential zoning district not included in the list of districts requiring 032106 n JOINT HEARING MARCH11• open space dedication. Given the amount of interest the residential development community is generating in proposing townhouse projects within the City. Section 60, Sign Standards: Section 60, Sign Standards made no special provision for a "roof sign," i.e. those signs that are painted on the roof of a building which are primarily viewed from the air. Specifically they have been prohibited since they were not allowed by ordinance. Staff has increasingly been receiving requests to allow this type of sign and it has been allowed in some special circumstances, e.g. Grapevine Mills Mall, Fellowship Church, and some GCISD school buildings. Given that these types of signs are totally unobtrusive except when viewed from above, Staff recommends they be exempt from the standards set forth in Section 60 with the provision that the painted roof sign cannot be viewed from the property line, right-of-way or public access easement and that a permit be required for this type of signage. With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commissioner's deliberation session. Chris Coy moved to approve zoning ordinance amendment AM06-02.
