JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS •MEARING JUNE • , 2002 1 r ) HISTORIC LANDMARK REQUEST HL01-06 — JOHN A. BERRY HOUSE First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Historical Landmark Request HL01-06 submitted by Grapevine Township Revitalization Project, Inc. for property located at 306 Austin Street and platted as Lots 7 and 8, Block 106, College Heights Addition. The applicant was requesting a Historical Landmark Subdistrict designation for the John A. Berry House. The property is zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District and is owned by Joann L. Pearson. Mr. Hugo Gardea, representing Grapevine Township Revitalization Project, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Gardea noted the house was recommended for approval by the Historic Preservation Committee. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to approve Historic Landmark Subdistrict HL01-06, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-12 — GLADE CORNERS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-12 submitted by Lew Anderton for property located at 400 Glade Road, and platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Glade Corners Addition. The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan of C000-25 (Ord. 00-60) for a combination living/personal care facility, specifically to phase the installation of the landscaping and fencing such that some of the Phase one landscaping as well as the perimeter fencing would be installed with the development of Phase two. The Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC), at their meeting on April 24, 2002, originally heard this request. At that time the applicant was requesting the following revisions to the previously approved site plan for this site: • Removal of the perimeter fence to improve emergency fire access; • Removal of the perimeter landscape berm to improve emergency fire access; • Relocate some interior sidewalks from directly adjacent to the parking lot to a location two feet away. In moving the sidewalks away from the edge of the parking lot, the amount of usable sidewalk will be increased due to the absence of parked cars overhanging the sidewalk. The sidewalks will be reduced from a width of five -feet wide to a width of four -feet as the applicant feels that the additional foot will not be necessary once the possibility of car overhang is reduced; and 061802 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 18, 2002 • A reduction the amount of landscaping around buildings 2, 3 and 5 and buildings 7-13, removing the shrubbery around the air conditioning units at the sides of the buildings while leaving the landscaping around the building entrances. The Committee approved the request to move the sidewalks and tabled the case to the May 29, 2002 meeting, directing the applicant to revise the site plan such that the fence, landscape berms and site landscaping were restored to the site plan as originally approved. The applicant revised his request and asked to reduce the amount of landscaping initially planted during Phase one construction to those plantings around the entrances to the buildings and plant the remainder of the landscaping within six weeks of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the Phase one buildings, as a part of Phase two development. Phase two development will also include the installation of the perimeter fence. The landscape berms would remain as previously approved. At the May 29, 2002 SPRC meeting the Committee denied the request to phase the landscape installation and install the perimeter fencing with Phase two, citing that they have no assurances that Phase two would be developed. The Committee directed the applicant to install the perimeter fencing starting at the north side of the southernmost drive along Grapevine Euless Road, along the west and north property lines ending at a point along the eastern property line, a point located between buildings 16 and 17. The applicant decided to appeal the decision of the Site Plan Review Committee to the City Council. The applicant stated in a letter to the City Council, that much of the infrastructure for Phase two was installed as part of the Phase one development, per City requirements. Because of this additional expenditure the funds for the complete landscaping were not immediately available. Lew Anderton, owner and applicant, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. At this time Mr. Anderton also noted that the original approved plans did not include perimeter fencing. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding landscaping issues. Mr. Coy noted that the proposed plans did meet minimum requirements. At Mr. Oliver's request, Mr. Anderton agreed to the addition of a fence along the northern boundary and the western portion of Phase One. When asked at what timeframe the work for Phase Two would begin, Mr. Anderton stated that he hoped the contractors would remain for continuous work from Phase One to Phase Two. Chris Coy moved, with a second by Rob Undersander, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-12 with the stipulations that the remainder of the landscaping and agreed fencing be completed within six weeks of the application for building permit for Phase Two. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander 061802 3 HEARING 2002JUNE 18, 01"S Nays: None CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-21 — SEGA GAMEWORKS/MILLS CORPORATION Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-21 submitted by Robert Levine for property located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway #525 and platted as Lot 1R1, Block 1, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase I. The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan of CU98-79 (Ord. 99-17) for a planned commercial center in excess of 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable space specifically, to expand the consumption area for alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and mixed drinks) to include the entire premise for Sega Gameworks. Since its opening in 1997, alcohol beverage sales and consumption had been limited to the second floor only for Sega Gameworks. With this request, the applicant proposed to expand the alcohol beverage consumption area to the entire premise. Mr. Robert Levine, representing Sega Gameworks, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Levine addresses such issues as; hours of alcoholic service, on premise supervision, and controlled consumption of alcohol. Mr. Levine also noted Grapevine approved the Main Event facility with alcohol service to the entire premise. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Mr. Fry expressed concern over difficulty of controlling the consumption of alcohol with approval of this request. Mr. Undersander noted there had not yet been significant problems at the Main Event. Also discussed was the initial request of Gameworks to contain the sale of alcohol. Mr. Undersander stated that the economy has changed considerably since the opening of Gameworks and those changes have affected business in Grapevine. Chris Coy moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-21, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: Fry CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-23 - CORTE ENTERPRISES Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-23 submitted by Joe Way for property located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Suite 117 and platted as Lot 1R1, Block 1, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase I.

The applicant proposed to utilize a 22,821 square foot space previously occupied by Iguana Ameramex, to provide an all-inclusive dining and dancing experience. Live music would focus on "ballroom dancing" and instruction would be available for Salsa, Swing, and Tango dancing. Joe Way, the applicant, was present 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.

Mr. Mike Davis, representing the applicant, was present 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, B J Nicholson moved, with a second by Kevin Busbee, to approve the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lot 1, Block 1, Mustang Apartments Addition, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None END OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-14 — PAVESTONE INTERNATIONAL Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-14 submitted by Tom Davis for property located at 3215 State Highway 360 and platted as Lot 1R1, Block 1R, Pavestone Industrial Addition. The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved site plan of CU99-01(Ord. 99-53) for outside storage in conjunction with a manufacturing establishment, specifically to incorporate more property into the site to be utilized as outside storage. The applicant proposed to incorporate into the existing production facility two separate pieces of property totaling 5.63 acres which would be utilized for outside storage of manufactured product. Outside storage would occur on an improved surface (Pavestone). This request was tabled on May 21, 2002 by the Planning and Zoning Commission due to concerns relative to screening and landscaping along the State Highway 360 frontage, as well as along the southern, northern and eastern property lines. Concern was also expressed relative to truck staging and storage. The applicant addressed these concerns by providing an eight foot wood screening fence along the eastern property line, adding a three 061802 6 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 18, 2002 foot berm to the proposed landscaping along the southern property line with added trees spaced closer together, and providing eight red cedars to the landscaping along State Highway 360. An additional lane for truck staging was provided to eliminate the truck staging along Stone -Meyers Parkway. Of the three drive entrances shown along State Highway 360, only the northernmost drive is being utilized. The southernmost drive is gated, and the middle drive is fenced and blocked by landscaping. In the Commission's deliberation session, Mr. Oliver questioned Mr. Tom Davis regarding the situation with trucks parking and loading along a public roadway. Mr. Davis explained this request would allow new designated space for 12-13 trucks and stated the problem would then be resolved. Mr. Oliver requested the designated truck lanes be clearly marked on the plans. Mr. Shea Kirkman, of Goodwin and Marshall, Inc., clarified the width of the designated drive lanes. Also discussed were the curb cuts and landscaping along these curb cuts. Herb Fry moved, with a second by Rob Undersander, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-14 with the stipulation that the applicant submit to Staff revised plans showing the 20 foot drive lanes with the designated truck loading area not to be used for material storage, and that the center of the three curb cuts along State Highway 360 service road be removed and replaced with landscaping.

C. Beck, Ltd., for property located at 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Suite 519 and platted as Lot 1 R1, Block 1, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase I. The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU01-38 (Ord. 01-56) for a planned commercial center in excess of 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable space specifically, to allow for outdoor commercial amusement, to expand the building footprint and to modify the building elevations relative to a skating facility. The applicant proposes to develop an "ESPN X -Games" Skatepark in the areas previously occupied by both Eerie World Entertainment i.e. Jekyll and Hyde and The American Wilderness Experience. There will also be a slight expansion outward to the west of approximately 33 -feet creating 8,000 square feet of additional space. An outside skating area immediately adjacent to the west will also be a part of this concept. No food or beverage service is proposed other than what can be provided through vending machines. The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled this request on May 21, 2002 during their deliberation session over concerns of security and screening relative to the concrete outdoor skating area. The applicant provided a wrought -iron fence, nine feet, four inches in height around the outdoor skating area to address the previous concern. A ten foot wide landscaping buffer would also be provided inside the screening fence creating separation between the skaters and outside observers. In the Commission's deliberation session, Mr. Oliver asked Mr. Hoyt Hammer, representing the applicant, questions regarding the outdoor gates shown on the site plan. Mr. Hammer noted these gates would be for egress purposes only with a controlled entrance. Rob Undersander moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-16, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander 061802 8 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 18, 2002 Nays: None AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX D COMPREHENSIVE ZONINGORDINANCE NO. 82-73, AS AMENDED SECTION 23 LIMITED BUSINESS DISTRICT, SECTION 24, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SECTION 25 COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SECTION 26 HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION 27, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT SECTION 31 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND SECTION 32 BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT RELATIVE TO ONE FLOOR LEVEL HEIGHT LIMITATIONS WHEN ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS Next for the Commission to consider were Amendments to Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended, Section 23, Limited Business District, Section 24, Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25, Community Commercial District, Section 26, Highway Commercial District, Section 27, Professional Office District, Section 31, Light Industrial District and Section 32, Business Park District, relative to one floor level height limitations when adjacent to residential districts. The zoning ordinance limited development within the above referenced districts to one floor level and a specified height when such development is proposed adjacent to a residential zoning district. The intention for this requirement has always been to limit these developments to one floor level; however, as written, the ordinance has proven to be misleading. For instance, the "CC" Community Commercial District specifies that structures adjacent to single-family residential districts "...shall not exceed one (1) floor level or twenty- five (25) feet in height." The use of the word 'or' has led some to believe that a second floor or loft can be incorporated into the structure as long as the structure is twenty-five feet in height or less. Replacing the word `or' with the word `and' should clarify that the floor level and height limitations are applied cumulatively. Staff has drafted an amendment to Section 23.1, Limited Business District, Section 24.1, Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25.1, Community Commercial District, Section 26.1, Highway Commercial District, Section 27.1, Professional Office District, Section 31.1, Light Industrial District and Section 32.1, Business Park District to clarify that development adjacent to residential districts shall not exceed one floor level and a specified height. In the Commission's deliberation session, Herb Fry moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to set a public hearing for the proposed Amendments AM02-04 and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None 061802 9 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 18, 2002 AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE CODE OF ORDINANCES, APPENDIX D, COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 82-73, AS AMENDED, SECTION 31, "Ll" LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT RELATIVE TO PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USES AS A PERMITTED USE Next for the Commission to consider were the Amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Appendix D, of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended, Section 31, "Ll" Light Industrial District relative to Professional Office uses as a permitted use. As the ordinance is currently written, stand-alone professional office uses are not permitted within the "Ll" Light Industrial District. Professional office uses are allowed if they are clearly incidental and accessory to a permitted or conditional use allowed within the district. As a policy, Staff has not allowed office uses to exceed fifty percent of any building space within the "Ll" Light Industrial District as an accessory use. Ms. Tonya Brookmole, Leasing Manager for property addressed as 1702 through 1712 Minters; Chapel Road has requested that we amend Section 31 to allow professional offices uses as permitted uses within the "Ll" Light Industrial District. Ms. Brookmole has had several prospective tenants for property that she manages along Minters Chapel Road that Staff has determined were professional office uses—Certificates of Occupancy were not issued for these prospective tenants. In the Commission's deliberation session, Mr. Oliver noted that the Professional Office uses are not intended for industrial purposes and these two uses are not compatible. Mr. Oliver stated that the Ordinance is appropriate in this matter. Danette Murray moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to deny for public hearing the proposed Amendments AM02-05. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander Nays: None 10161'k IN 64 1 Next for the Commission to consider were the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes of May 21, 2002 regular meeting. Danette Murray moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to approve the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes of May 21, 2002.
