JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-47 — AUTUMN LEAVES First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-47 submitted by Melvin Warren, Jr. for property located at 121702 M11 the southwest corner of Heritage Avenue and Mustang Drive. The applicant was requesting a Conditional Use permit to allow the development of a personal care facility. This proposal is the first phase of a multi -phase project. If approved, this phase would contain 42 -beds for a personal care facility. This request was tabled during the public hearing at the November 19, 2002 meeting in order for the applicant to address the Councils' concerns relative to sound attenuation. The applicant is currently in the process of preparing a presentation detailing the steps that will be taken to reduce noise levels at the subject site. The applicant is also working out an agreement with the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Board to garner their support for the project. Because of the ongoing negotiations, the applicant is again requesting to table consideration of the proposal until the January 21, 2002 public hearing. In the Commission's deliberation session, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to table Conditional Use Request CU02-47 until January 21, 2003, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None FINAL PLAT APPLICATION LOTS 1R1, 1R2, AND 1R3, BLOCK 1 SOUTHWEST GRAPEVINE COMMERCIAL PARK Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lots 1 R1, 1 R2, and 1 R3, Block 1, Southwest Grapevine Commercial Park submitted by Melvin Warren, Jr. for property located at the southwest corner of Heritage Avenue and Mustang Drive. The applicant was requesting to final plat 7.773 acres for the proposed development of an assisted living facility. The property is zoned "CC" Community Commercial District and is owned by Two Grapevine Parkway, Ltd. In the Commission's deliberation session, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to table the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lots 1 R1, 1 R2, and 1R3, Block 1, Southwest Grapevine Commercial Park, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None 121702 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING DECEMBER 17, 2002 SPECIAL USE REQUEST SU02-05 - FELLOWSHIP CHURCH Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Special Use Request SU02-05 submitted by Mike Cluff and located at 2450 State Highway 121 North and platted as Lot I R, Block 1, Fellowship of Las Colinas Addition. The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of SU02-02 (Ord. 02-39) for a church that exceeds the 50 -foot height requirement, specifically to extend the four year time limit on the existing modular preschool building for another six years per letter and agreements dated December 11, 2002 between Fellowship Church and the City of Grapevine. Special Use Request SU98-01 (Ord. 98-28) was considered and approved by Council at their February 17, 1998 meeting which modified a previously approved site plan for the Fellowship Church to allow the addition of a 26,500 square foot temporary structure to be utilized as the church's preschool building. This request was approved at that time with the stipulation that the temporary structure would be removed within four years of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the structure. January 2003 will be the end of the four year time limit for the temporary structure. It is the applicant's intent to meet all the requirements of the building code necessary to reclassify the structure as a permanent structure. The applicant is also requesting to add a similar 11,000 square foot structure to meet the church's expanding preschool needs. Matt Anthony, an attorney representing Fellowship Church, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Anthony explained that since the original request for temporary buildings, the church had expanded approximately 300%, increasing their attendance from approximately 5,000 persons per weekend to almost 15,000 persons per weekend. He further explained that because of the unusual increase in size, the Church believes theirs is a unique request. Since the previous Council Meeting, Fellowship Church and City Staff have worked jointly to reach a compromise. With no further guests to speak, 4,100 letters of protest, no letters from adjoining property owners, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Herb Fry expressed concerns regarding the intention of the letter included from Craig Stovall. It was noted that Fellowship Church would still need to submit applications for a Special Use permit for any and all changes to their site plan. Danette Murray moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to approve Special Use Request SU02-05 inclusive of the attached letter, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None 121702 3 ,b ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z02-07 —STATE HIGHWAY 26 AND POOL ROAD Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z02-07 submitted by Laney Newman for property located at 2300 Pool Road and proposed to be platted as Lot 1R1, SH26/Pool Road Addition. The applicant was requesting to rezone 0.72 acres from "HC" Highway Commercial District and 5.10 acres from "PO" Professional Office District to "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District for future development. Several rezoning and conditional use requests have been attempted on this property in recent years, all of which have failed. This request was tabled during the public hearing at the November 19, 2002 meeting at the applicant's request in order to give the applicant time to address the concerns of nearby property owners relative to future development on the subject site. Charles Hodges, the architect, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Citizens Larry Watkins and William Armenderez each spoke in protest of the request. Mr. Watkins stated the proposal would create additional traffic problems and, depending upon which retail might enter, cause a potential safety threat to the neighboring school population. With no further guests to speak, one letter of approval, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, it was clarified that should there be any substantial changes to the submitted concept plan; the applicant would be required to submit an application. Mr. Fry stated concerns that this plan could in some way be linked to the Tree Removal on the Tiller property and that it could be an undesirable development plan. Mr. Oliver noted that the major issue to be voted upon was the actual Zone Change from "HC" Highway Commercial District and "PO" Professional Office District to "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District. Chris Coy moved, with a second by B. J. Nicholson, to approve Zone Change Request Z02-07, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: Fry CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-52 — SEWELL CADILLAC/SAAB Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-52 submitted by William Cothrum and located at 1001 East State Highway 114 and proposed to be platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Wallcon Addition. The applicant was requesting a Conditional Use permit to allow for an automotive dealership 121702 4 with sales and service of new and used vehicles and a 20 foot and a 26 foot pole sign with a maximum cabinet surface area of 198 square feet. The applicant was proposing to develop a Cadillac/Saab dealership on the western half of the subject site. The dealership would be built in two phases with Phase One including the sales office and repair facility and Phase Two being utilized for inventory storage. The concept plan for the eastern half of the site indicates that an additional car dealership is planned for the future. Willie Cothrum, representing Sewell Cadillac, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no further guests to speak, two letters of approval, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-52, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-55 — CITY OF GRAPEVINE SENIOR CENTER Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-55 submitted by Doug Evans and located at 421 Church Street and platted as Lot 6R, Block 3, City of Grapevine. The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit for a six foot ground sign with changeable copy in excess of 30 percent and a reduced setback. Doug Evans, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, was 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, Herb Fry moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-55, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None 121702 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING DECEMBER 17, 2002 AMENDMENTS OF THE GRAPEVINE CODE OF ORDINANCES APPENDIX D — SECTION 20, "R-TH" RELATIVE TO BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS AND SECTION 27, "PO" PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO ESTABLISH PLANNED OFFICE CENTERS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was an amendment to Section 20 "R-TH" Townhouse District Regulations relative to buffer area regulations and an amendment to Section 27 "PO" Professional Office District Regulations to establish Planned Office Centers. Section 20.H of the zoning ordinance refers to buffer area standards for sites zoned "R-TH" Townhouse District that are located next to a developed residential property. The ordinance specifically calls out all residential districts in the City with the exception of "R-5.0" Zero Lot - Line District. This district should have been included in the list of residential districts, but was excluded through clerical error. Staff is proposing to amend Section 20.H to include the "R-5.0" Zero Lot -Line District in the list of residential districts as was originally intended. The proposed Planned Office Center designation would be similar to the Planned Commercial Center designation currently allowed by conditional use permit in commercial districts with the exception of the minimum district size. Given that current "PO" districts range in size from 2,507 square feet to 7,210,638 square feet, Staff is recommending that the minimum district size for a planned office center located within the "PO" district be two acres. 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 B J Nicholson, to approve the Amendments of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances Appendix D — Section 20, "R-TH" relative to buffering requirements and Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District Regulations to establish Planned Office Centers with the corrected verbage.
