PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 19, 2014
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS AM14-05—AMENDMENTS
TO SECTION 23A, "GV" GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the
proposed amendments to Section 23A, "GV" Grapevine Vintage District, and take any
necessary action.
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 50% 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% 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. See the attached ordinance.
Staff recommends approval.
