MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM:
ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE:
'SEPTEMBER 16, 2003
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP - AMENDMENT TO SECTION 25, "CC"
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION 26, "HC"
HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION 27, "PO"
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT AND SECTION 32, "BP"
BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT RELATIVE TO YARD
REQUIREMENTS IN PLANNED COMMERCIAL
/PROFESSIONAL OFFICE / BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council consider the attached amendments, and take any
action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Gary Hazlewood has submitted a letter requesting the City Council consider
amending Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District; Section 26, "HC" Highway
Commercial District; Section 27, "PO", Professional Office District; and Section 32, "BP"
Business Park District regulations of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance.
Mr. Hazlewood is proposing to develop the property located at the southwest corner of
the intersection of Northwest Highway and Business 114, north of the railroad tracks,
with a Planned Commercial and Business Park. Currently the Zoning Ordinance
requires that each platted lot have a minimum of twenty feet of frontage along a
dedicated public right-of-way. The size and configuration of the subject site is such that
it is not possible for each lot to have frontage on a dedicated public right-of-way. The
requested amendment would change the frontage requirements for lots located within
any Planned Commercial, Professional Office and Business Park District such that all
perimeter lots within a Planned Development would be required to have a minimum of
20 feet of frontage along a dedicated public right-of-way and all interior lots would be
required to have a minimum of 25 feet of frontage on a dedicated public access
easement.
Previously approved Planned Developments have been platted with flag lots in order to
meet the frontage requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

Tommy,
Thank you for your time yesterday. I think the meeting went well, and was
productive time for all.
Per our conversation yesterday, there is an issue that I need your help on.
In order to do the type of exclusive business park that we have planned, we
will need an amendment to the city of Grapevine ordinance. The ordinance in
place calls for EACH lot to have a "front yard", on a public street. The
site is not condusive for this site. Therefore, can you assist me in
achieving our goal in this endeavor
Gary Hazlewood
