The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission approved the first reading of the
ordinances for these cases at the December 19, 2000 joint public hearing. The Board of
Zoning Adjustment found special conditions for and approved the following variances at
the January 8, 2001 meeting.
Lot 1R, Block 1, First United Methodist Church Grapevine Addition
This is the main campus of the First United Methodist Church. The applicant requested
variances for two existing conditions on this site. The first variance requested will allow the
developed drive and parking to exist as developed along the northern property line
between the church and the Grapevine Housing Authority property. The second variance
for this property will allow the existing thrift shop to remain within the required front yard
along College Street. The applicable sections of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance, the action of the Board of Zoning Adjustment, and the result of that
action are listed below.
Section 20.M.7 Design Requirements require that no off-street parking be located
closer than 10 feet of any adjacent property line. Whenever an off-street parking
vehicular use or storage area is within sixty feet of any adjacent residentially zoned
district, the parking area shall be physically screened by a fence, wall, or berm at
least 6 feet in height.
The Board approved a variance of 10 feet to the buffer requirement and a variance to the
screening requirement. This variance allows the existing parking and drive isle
immediately adjacent to the northern property line to remain as developed.
