BACKGROUND: According to existing ordinance, wineries are allowed a conditional use in only two districts, the "CBD" Central Business District and the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District. Staff has received a request from Mr. Curt Carter, the owner of a 20 -acre tract of land just north of the Austin Ranch, west of Anderson -Gibson Road, to amend the zoning ordinance to allow wineries as a conditional use in the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District. Mr. Carter intends to develop his property as a multi -phased planned commercial center consisting of a winery, restaurant, 300 to 400 -room luxury, full-service hotel, and a multi -story office building. Other amenities planned include a 400 -space parking garage, and approximately 70 condominium villas. The first phase of this proposed development is an approximate 120,000 square foot, multi -use facility that will house a winery, restaurant, and additional meeting space. To this end, Mr. Carter is requesting that the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District be amended to include wineries in the list of "Conditional Uses." See the attached letter. It is important to note that Staff has received inquires relative to wineries in other districts, particularly the "CC" Community Commercial District. Given the current economic climate and the increasing popularity of wine and wine production, Staff feels that amending the "CC" Community Commercial District to include wineries in the list of conditional uses is also appropriate. See the attached ordinance drafts.
