Section 42, Supplementary District regulations: During the last Texas legislative session (83rd Legislature) amendments were made to several chapters of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission Code, including amendments relative to the Brewer's Permit (B Permit). Specifically the Code was 061714 5 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 17, 2014 amended to allow on -premise consumption of the brewer's products on the brewer's premises. Mr. Gary Humble of Grapevine Craft Brewery asked the Council to consider making the appropriate ordinance amendments to accommodate the new changes in the Code and a workshop was held with the Council on May 6, 2014 to discuss the matter. Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations of the zoning ordinance has been amended to authorize use of this permit since the on -premise consumption of beer on the brewer's premise will not be accompanied by any food sales. Similar to wineries and wine tasting rooms, the Brewer's Permit (B Permit) does not require beer sales to be part of a restaurant operation. Accessory structures and buffer yards in residential districts: During several work sessions with the Planning and Zoning Commission, a number of slight inconsistencies have been discussed that exist within the ordinance relative to the height of accessory structures and their appropriate setback. The R-20 and R-12.5 Districts allow for slightly taller accessory structures and accompanying additional setback however this language was inadvertently carried over into the other residential districts creating the impression that additional height was allowed. There is also a distinction made between accessory structures and storage buildings whereby storage buildings are limited in size and height relative to accessory structures. Since a storage building is in essence an accessory structure, the reference to storage buildings has been removed from the ordinance. Currently all residential districts require a 40 foot buffer be established when developed adjacent to an existing multifamily district or non-residential district. This buffer is required to adequately provide separation between dissimilar uses and help mitigate any unwanted, light, sound, odors or other unwanted intrusions. Staff has occasionally been approached by residential property owners who wish to reduce or eliminate this buffer requirement which can greatly reduce the buildable area of a residential lot. During an April 8 workshop the Commission recommended elimination of the 40 foot buffer requirement within the residential zoning districts given the reduced height, increased building separation, and landscaped buffer area requirement within the non- residential zoning districts when located immediately adjacent to residential districts. Direction was given to increase the landscaped buffer areas in non -residentially zoned districts to 20 feet if not already established at that distance. In the Commission's regular session Monica Hotelling moved to approve the AM14-04. B J Wilson seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Wilson, Hotelling, Martin, Luers and Mason Nays: None 061714 6 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 17, 2014 Next for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to the City Council was the Statement of Findings and Preliminary Plat Application of Lot 1, Block 1, Ryder Addition on property located at 1150 Texan Trail.
