OATH OF OFFICE 072004 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 20, 2004 ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z03-07 — LAMB'S WAREHOUSE First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z03-07 submitted by Mark Lamb and located at 2345 Grayson Drive, Abstract 1490, Tract 1. The applicant was requesting to rezone 2.00 acres from "CC" Community Commercial District to "Ll" Light Industrial District for a proposed warehouse facility. Ron Hamm, representing Speed Fab Crete, and Mark Lamb, the owner, were available to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Paul Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z03-07, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings Nays: None ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-04 — JAMES GREEN FAMILY PARTNERSHIP Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z04-04 submitted by the Michael Coker Company for property located at 107 West Dallas Road, Abstract 422, Tracts 21 and 21 B. The applicant was requesting to rezone 0.57 acres from "PO" Professional Office District to "CBD" Central Business District for a proposed office/retail development. Andrew Seal, representing the applicant, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Seal stated it was the applicant's intent to build a two story building with retail on the first floor and office space on the second floor. He noted the owners and developers believed the zoning to be a good transitional usage with "CBD" Central Business District to the north and "PO" Professional Office District to the south. Questions and discussion followed regarding the difficulty to approve the project with only the required concept plan. Council members stated the necessity to see further development details to approve such plans. Mr. Hardy noted it would be possible to request voluntary deed restrictions from the owners and developers of the property associated with the zone change request. With no further guests to speak, one letter of approval, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. 072004 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 20, 2004 In the Commission's deliberation session, Larry Oliver stated that this was an unusual case and previously the "CBD" zoning had been confined to the properties north of Dallas Road. Mr. Oliver added that while the proposal could be a desirable usage, the concept plan presented was too speculative in nature. Mr. Fry stated concern with the right-of-way issues associated with Texas Department of Transportation in regards to maintenance of such property. It was noted that abandoning easements can be a costly and lengthy procedure and during the process property owners adjoining similar right-of-ways have historically maintained those areas. Chris Coy moved, with a second by Paul Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z04- 04 with the conditional that voluntary deed restrictions be in place to require any future development to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Committee and be brought before City Council for final approval, with all reviews to meet double frontage requirements. Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings Nays: None ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-05 — RICKEY MCPHERSON Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to City Council was Z04- 05 submitted by Rickey McPherson for property located at 3132 West Dove Road and proposed to be platted as Lots 1-8, Block 1, Castle Court. The applicant was requesting to rezone 1.47 acres from "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District to "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District for a proposed eight lot single family development. Rickey McPherson, the applicant and owner, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no further guests to speak, one letter of protest, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the proposed zone change. Mr. Fry discussed the differences in setbacks comparing "R-7.5" Single Family District and the proposed "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District. Mr. Stombaugh noted that in this case there was only one area regulation difference, that being 65 feet width of lot as opposed to 50 feet width of lot in the Zero Lot Line District. Mr. Undersander discussed the possibility of fewer homes and Mr. Stombaugh stated that with the "R-7.5" Single Family District, it would possible to fit only five homes onto the proposed Court. Paul Jennings moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve Zone Change Request Z04-05, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Murray, St. John and Jennings 072004 3 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 20, 200,�- Nays: Coy and Undersander ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-07 — MADISON COURT Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z04-07 submitted by the City of Grapevine for property located at Midway Drive and Laguna Vista Court, platted as Lots 1 -11, Block 1, Madison Court. The applicant was requesting to rezone 2.92 acres from "R-2.0" Single Family District to "R-7.5" Single Family District for a proposed eleven lot single family development. This was a City initiated rezoning. A discrepancy between the Official Zoning Map and the currently developing GIS -based zoning map reveals an error was made when the final plat was approved July 15, 2003. The final plat was approved with lots developed under the "R- 7.5" Single Family District guidelines when in fact the property was zoned "R-20" Single Family District. This rezoning would be consistent with the zoning/development that has taken place in the general vicinity, most recently to the immediate south. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Paul Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z04-07, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings Nays: None 111111F�� q Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU04-20 submitted by Dave Davenport for property located near the southeast corner of Ponderosa Drive and Ira E.

The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU99-33 (Ord. 99-98) for an automotive dealership with the sales and service of new and used vehicles, specifically to expand the sales and service areas. The applicant proposed a two-phase expansion to the sales and service area of the existing dealership. The first phase would be a 2,567 square foot expansion of the sales area and a 12,296 square foot expansion to the service area. The second phase would be a 12,147 square foot expansion in the service area only.
