ATTEST: SECRETARY 071806 7 WORKSHOP MINUTES 2006 STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF TARRANT CITY OF GRAPEVINE The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas met in Workshop on this the 25th day of July, 2006, in the City Council Conference Room 2 n Floor, 200 South Main Street, Grapevine, Texas with the following members present -to -wit: Larry Oliver Herb Fry Chris Coy Danette Murray B J Wilson Rob Undersander Becky St. John Mark Lowery Andrea Roy constituting a quorum, and also present: Roy Stewart Sharron Spencer and the following City Staff: Scott Williams Ron Stombaugh Albert Triplett, Jr. Susan Batte Chairman Vice -Chairman Member Member Member Member Member Alternate Alternate Council Representative Council Member Acting Development Services Director Development Manager Planner II Administrative Secretary Chairman Larry Oliver called the Workshop to order at 6:20 p.m. DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO FLAG LOTS First for the Commission to discuss was flag lots. The zoning ordinance has been amended twice in the last year relative to flag lots. It was first amended in November, 2005 to require flag lots in residential districts to be considered and approved by Council through the Special Use process. Controversy surrounding a special use request for a residential flag lot on Worthington Drive led to a second amendment to the zoning ordinance in June, 2006 which more closely defined flag lots and prohibited them in all single family residential districts. Council directed the Planning and Zoning Commission to further review and consider the concept of flag 072506wk P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES J U LY 25, 2006 lots and make any recommendations relative to their use and establish new guidelines if necessary. After a brief discussion, Chris Coy made a motion for staff to pursue with the City Attorney to eliminate flag lots except where a special condition exists through the Board of Zoning Adjustment, Danette Murray seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St John Nays: None DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO SECTION 20, "R-TH" TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT REGULATIONS Next for the Commission to discuss was possible changes and amendments to Section 20, "R-TH" Townhouse District Regulations. Staff has had numerous meetings and discussions with residential developers considering development of "townhouses" within the City. These discussions have centered on developers wanting to build a product that does not conform with the City's current guidelines for townhouse development. Specifically, lot width, lot depth, lot area, and setbacks are criteria that seem to be in conflict with the type of product builders say the public demands. Staff has conducted a small survey within the metroplex in an effort to determine what other cities are experiencing relative to townhouse development. We also asked for an estimated percentage of townhouse development that occurs under that City's guidelines as established and an estimated percentage of townhouse development that occurs through the use of a Planned Development or some other type of process that allows changes or variances from established guidelines. After a brief discussion, the Commission decided to take no action and continue to process these requests through the Planned Development Overlay application. DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO SECTION 13 "R-20" SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT; SECTION 14 "R-12.5" SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT; SECTION 15, "R-7.5" SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT: AND SECTION 16, "R-5.0" SINGLE FAMILY_ DISTRICT Next for the Commission to discuss was possible changes and amendments to Section 13, "R-20" Single Family District; Section 14, "R-12.5" Single Family District; Section 15, "R-7.5" Single Family District; And Section 16, "R-5.0" Single Family District relating to accessory building height. Section 13 1.2. and Section 14.1.2 state: Height of accessory structure, one and one- half (1-1/2) stories not to exceed twenty (20) feet, except a storage building one hundred twenty (120) square feet or less shall not exceed ten (10) feet in height. 072506wk 2 P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES JULY 25, 2006 Staff was proposing elimination of the requirement that a one hundred twenty (120) square foot or less storage building be limited to ten feet in height. This provision can be easily circumvented by building a one hundred twenty one (121) square foot structure. Section 15.13. and Section 16.8. state: Accessory buildings more than sixteen (16) feet in height shall be set back from the rear property line six (6) feet plus two (2) additional feet for each additional foot of height over sixteen (16) feet. The height of the structure shall be measured from the top of the slab or from its bottom floor. Section 15.1.2 and 16.1.2 state: Height of accessory structure, one story not to exceed sixteen (16) feet, except a storage building which shall not exceed ten (10) feet in height. Staff was proposing eliminating the additional setback requirements for accessory buildings exceeding sixteen (16) feet in height. As with the "R-20" and "R-12.5" amendments, it is also proposed to eliminate the ten (10) foot height restriction for storage buildings. After a brief discussion regarding noise from workshops, requiring a slab foundation or not and the definition of a storage building and an accessory building, the Commission requested Staff to continue to work on these amendments and bring them back at the next workshop. DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO SECTION 12, DEFINITIONS Next for the Commission to discuss was possible changes and amendments to Section 12, Definitions. The Zoning Ordinance and Building Codes have minor differences in terms of definitions of building height and related terms such as grade and story. Staff was proposing Zoning Ordinance amendments that incorporate Building Code definitions. After a brief discussion, Rob Undersander made a motion to set a public hearing for amendments to Section 12, Definitions. B J Wilson seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St John Nays: None ADJOURNMENT With no further business to discuss, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to adjourn the meeting at 7:34 p.m. and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St. John 072506wk 1 3 P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES JULY 25, 2006 Nays: None PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS ON THIS THE 15TH DAY OF JULY, 2006.
