JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z02-01 — MARTIN OFFICE PARK First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z02-01 submitted by G. Philip Morley for property located at the 031902 1 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 19, 2002 northeast and northwest corner of Mustang Drive and Heritage Avenue. The applicant was requesting to rezone approximately 13.54 acres from "LI" Light Industrial District to "CC" Community Commercial District for a proposed medical office/professional office and retail development. The applicant, Mr. G. Phillip Morley of Morley Architects requested this case be tabled to the May 21, 2002 meeting to resolve issues relative to the dedication of right-of-way and the extension of Heritage Avenue through the subject site. In the Commission's deliberation session, Rob Undersander moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to table Zone Change Request Z02-01 to the May 21, 2002 meeting, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z02-02 — RIVERWALK APARTMENTS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z02-02 submitted by R. Jerry Stone for property located at the southwest corner FM 2499 and the Grapevine/Flower Mound city limit line. The applicant was requesting to rezone 61 acres from "PID" Planned Industrial District to "R -MF -1" Multifamily District for the proposed development of a 600 -unit apartment complex. Mr. Stone proposed to develop an apartment complex similar in style to the three-phase complex he has developed just south and west of the subject site. The layout and building design will follow the same general scope as his other projects such as three story buildings with garages along the first floor, and reduced building setbacks. At the City Council's March 5, 2002 worksession, Council authorized Staff to proceed with a zoning text amendment to Section 21, "R -MF -1" Multifamily District Regulations extending the 3/4 mile distance reference from the Grapevine Mills Mall for apartment projects with three story building height and reduced building setbacks as a conditional use. This text amendment will be placed on the April 16, 2002 Council agenda. With this request, Mr. Stone submitted deed restrictions to demonstrate to Council his intention to develop a project that meets or exceeds the standards he has set for this type of project in the immediate vicinity. Within the deed restrictions, Mr. Stone agreed to develop the property as follows: • Present an architectural style similar to that of the existing multifamily projects in the area. • Total number of units will not exceed 600. • At least sixty (60) percent of the units will have garages with direct access. 031902 2 ?t & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 19 ,2002 • The average unit size will be at least 950 square feet. • The property will contain a park and lake areas similar to the attached concept plan. With approval from Council on this requested zone change and approval of the zoning text amendment at the April 16, 2002 meeting, Mr. Stone will subsequently present to Council a conditional use request for the 600 -unit apartment complex with a complete site plan for the project. This was the first reading of an ordinance. Mr. Gordon Meier, the applicant, and Mr. Jerry Stone, the owner, were present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no further guests to speak, four letters of approval, 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 first reading of Zone Change Request Z02-02, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — AM02-01- 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; SECTION 16 "R-5.0" ZERO -LOT -LINE DISTRICT; SECTION 17 "R-3.5" TWO-FAMILY DISTRICT: SECTION 18 "R-3.75" THREE AND FOUR -FAMILY DISTRICT; SECTION 19 "R -MH" MANUFACTURED HOME DISTRICT; SECTION 20 "R-TH" TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT' SECTION 21 "R -MF -1" MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT; SECTION 22 "R -MF -2" MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT; SECTION 22A "R-MODH" MODULAR HOME DISTRICT; SECTION 26 "HC" HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT; AND SECTION 55 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council were the 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, Section 16, "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District, Section 17, "R-3.5" Two -Family District, Section 18, "R-3.75" Three and Four -Family District, Section 19, "R -MH" Manufactured Home District, Section 20, "R-TH" Townhouse District, Section 21, "R -MF -1" Multifamily District, Section 22, "R -MF -2" Multifamily District, and Section 22A, "R-MODH" Modular Home District, relative to establishing limits on the frequency, time and location of storage containers used in relation to curbside storage services, moving services and other such services. Staff also recommended the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission consider an amendment to Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District, relative to allowing for 031902 3 0 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 19, 2002 automotive state safety and environmental inspection facilities with a conditional use permit, and take any action necessary. Lastly, Staff recommended the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission consider an amendment to Section 55, Performance Standards, relative to lighting standards, and take any action necessary. The following changes were under consideration: Sections 13 through 22 and 22A A relatively new trend in self -storage facilities and moving services involves curbside pickup and/or drop-off of various sized storage boxes and containers at a customer's residence. While a convenient and useful service, some regulation may be warranted to prevent interruption of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and a decrease in neighborhood aesthetics. During the month of December, a complaint was received by the City with regard to the placement of storage containers associated with one of these services. The items were placed in the street for a period of at least two weeks, creating a potential traffic hazard as well as an unappealing sight. The goals of the draft amendment are to prohibit placement of storage containers in public right-of-ways and to establish limits with regard to the length of time that the containers can be placed outside and the number of instances such services can be utilized in a specified period of time. These changes are proposed within all residential zoning districts. Section 26. "HC" Highway Commercial District Staff recently visited with the owners of K&M Inspections, formerly located at 120 East Northwest Highway, about relocating their automotive state inspections business. Their desired site for relocation is the former Southwest Marine Boat Sales and Service located at the northwest corner of Dooley Street and Wall Street. Both sites are zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District; however, Section 26.D.3 of the zoning ordinance limits the permitted and conditional uses when a site has access to and frontage on a street other than a State Highway or Central Avenue. Automotive repair and service uses are not provided for in this section, and thus are not permitted at the Southwest Marine location. The zoning ordinance does not currently distinguish between a state inspections facility and other automotive repair uses. However, an inspections facility could be considered different and less obtrusive in that vehicles are not stored on the premises for long periods of time and business does not involve actual repair. Vehicles are simply tested for safety and environmental compliance, often within a period of 15-20 minutes each. Regulations governing state inspections facilities are evolving as new EPA -required equipment necessitates more space to accommodate the operations, and the resources needed to run a modern inspections operation will continue to lead to more comprehensive 031902 0 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 19, 2002 and diversified automotive uses. However, some businesses will continue to exclusively offer state inspections services, and it may be sensible to provide for automotive state inspections facilities specifically on sites within the "HC" Highway Commercial District, including those with access to and frontage on minor streets, with a conditional use permit. Section 55, Performance Standards On April 17, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council approved provisional lighting standards to be applied to new applications for conditional use permits received between the dates of 04/17/01 and 04/17/02. Since that time, all new conditional use permit applications have had to submit a photometric study of the site illustrating compliance with the new ordinance. Some of the applications that have had to meet the new lighting standards in the past year include CU01-22, Kings Smokehouse; CU01-27, Classic Hummer; CU01-46, CVS Pharmacy; CU01-68, Baylor Professional Office Park and CU01-71, Wal-Mart Supercenter. With the April 17, 2002 deadline approaching, the effectiveness of the provisional lighting standards in achieving the stated purpose of preventing glare on public roadways, protecting the privacy of residents and reducing atmospheric light pollution should be reviewed. At their February 12, 2002 work session, the Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to set a public hearing to consider making the lighting standards a permanent requirement in the Zoning Ordinance. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Mr. Bimmerman stated concerns regarding the placement of the storage units. Chris Coy moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to approve Zoning Ordinance Amendment AM02-01, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None FINAL PLAT APPLICATION LOT 1, BLOCK 1, COOK ADDITION Next for the Commission to consider was the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lot 1, Block 1, Cook Addition submitted by Roger Hart for property located at northwest Grapevine, north of Dove Road and east of Lonesome Dove Road. The applicant was requesting to preliminary plat 14.699 acres for the purposed development of a single- family residence. The property is zoned "R-12.5" Single Family District and "R-2.0" Single Family District and is owned by Roger Hart. 031902 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 19, 2002 In the Commission's deliberation session, B J Nicholson moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lot 1, Block 1, Cook Addition, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX D COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE NO 82-73 AS AMENDED SECTION 27 "PO" PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO PERMANENT COSMETIC APPLICATION Next for the Commission to consider were tt Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, the past year, Staff has received inquiries from that specialize in the application of permanE individuals have requested Staff sign a "Tat Department of Health.

Staff in conjunction with the City Attorney feel that allowing permanent cosmetic application as a permitted use in the "PO" Professional Office District would be appropriate with an approval from the Texas Department of Health and the operator of said business being licensed by Texas Cosmetology Commission. B J Nicholson moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to authorize staff to set a public hearing for an amendment to Section 27, "PO" Professional Office Uses relative to Permanent Cosmetic Application.
