BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During an April 8, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission workshop, discussion was held relative to possible amendments to the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District and a number of suggested changes were made to the district, including: Revision of the "Purpose" statement to eliminate reference to the district being used as a buffer between residentially zoned property and properties of higher intensity zoning. Transfer of those uses listed in the "Permitted Uses" section of the ordinance to the "Accessory Uses" category. • Removal of restaurant uses from the Conditional Use section of the ordinance and allowed only as an accessory use. Some additional wording was also written stating that food sales cannot exceed fifty (50) percent of gross sales. A subsequent Commission workshop was held on May 20, 2014 with discussion focusing primarily on the placement of "vineyards" within an appropriate category of uses (Conditional Uses) and whether a limit of 50 percent of gross sales for food was a necessary and acceptable limit to insure that wineries were not primarily restaurants masquerading as wineries. Discussion was held on June 17, 2014 focusing primarily on restaurant uses within the district. Direction was given to staff to eliminate the limit on food sales and instead allow restaurants as a conditional use but when proposed adjacent to existing residential uses, be allowed only as an accessory use. Staff recommends the Commission review the attached amended ordinance and be prepared to discuss any additions/changes if necessary. 0:\ZCU1wk061714.doc 7/10/2014 9:46:00 AM w.111 MIM AJOLAALEA the Texas Wine industry.
