Architects and reviewed with Council.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this document is to provide direction and guidance regarding the City of
Grapevine's interest in promoting a high quality multi -use development, enhancing quality
of life values, protecting and improving investments, and encouraging economic
opportunities. It is intended to promote an integrated, coordinated, high quality approach
to site access, building placement and massing, materials, architectural theming, signage,
pedestrian amenities and more.
These guidelines indicate some of the possible ways in which certain portions of this

particular subject is not addressed by these standards and guidelines, the policies and
regulations of the City of Grapevine shall apply. In particular, the City of Grapevine may
choose to apply the standards written for the "Entertainment and Attractions Overlay" in
the Destination Entertainment Retail Multi -Family District.
These standards may be modified on an as -needed basis by the City Council
