SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS,
RELATIVE TO POLE SIGN CONDITIONAL USES
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council consider
amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, relative to Section 60, Sign
Standards, relative to pole sign conditional uses, and take any action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Section 60
Currently, Section 60.B.2.d.(12).c of the comprehensive zoning ordinance has no
provisions for pole signs exceeding twenty feet in height on property located adjacent to
State Highway 26. Properties along this thoroughfare are limited to a twenty foot pole
sign with a conditional use permit.
At the request of the developers of Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, who are proposing a
thirty foot pole sign (Wal-Mart) and a twenty four foot pole sign (Sam's Club) along State
Highway 26, in addition to a proposed forty foot pole sign along State Highway 114 and
a twenty foot pole sign (Wal-Mart Lube Center) in the parking lot, Staff has considered
an amendment to include the Wal-Mart site with those properties that are allowed pole
signs exceeding twenty feet in height in Section 60.13.2.d.(12).c. The 100-foot D.A.R.T.
railroad right-of-way runs parallel to State Highway 26, and more importantly across the
entire frontage of the Wal-Mart and Sam's Club site. An increase in the maximum
height of the pole sign could help offset the diminished signage visibility created by the
extra setback from State Highway 26.
Staff has drafted an amendment to Section 60.B.2.d.(12).c to allow for pole signs not to
exceed thirty feet in height for Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Wal-Mart Addition, with a
conditional use permit.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVEL PMENT SERVICES
DATE: JANUARY 15, 2002
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 58, PARKING, LOADING
AND OUTSIDE STORAGE AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS,
RELATIVE TO DRIVING LANE WIDTHS IN PRIVATE PARKING LOTS
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council consider
amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, relative to Section 58, Parking,
Loading and Outside Storage Area Development Standards, relative to driving lane
widths for private parking lots, and take any action necessary.
IM4Well 10_01U 0 teri 'We]' LI
Section 58
Currently, Section 58 of the comprehensive zoning ordinance provides that all private
parking lots with 0 to 34 degree parking stalls have minimum 18-foot wide driving lanes,
and that parking lots with 35 to 90 degree parking stalls have minimum 25-foot driving
lanes. These requirements do not distinguish between one-way and two-way driving
lanes.
At the request of developers for Walmart and Sam's Club, who are proposing 60-degree
parking with 20 foot one-way driving lanes and 25 foot two-way driving lanes, City Staff
has reviewed the current ordinance and how it compares with the requirements of other
nearby cities as well as the recommendations of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE). The general finding is that with a smaller parking angle, less driving
lane width is required. The narrower driving lane width is justified because of increased
visibility and a diminished need for maneuverability with the angular parking and one-
way drives.
Two-way drives are not typically used for angular parking; however, if necessary, they
should maintain the minimum 25 foot driving lane width. In a similar manner, 90
degree (or "head -in") parking is not used for one-way parking and also should maintain
the minimum 25 foot driving lane width.
Staff has drafted an amendment to Section 58 to allow for reduced minimum width
driving lanes (20 feet) for one-way parking aisles with angled parking. Please see the
attached memo from Public Works outlining their recommendation for the change as
well as a brief summary of nine other cities' requirements and ITE's recommendations
for driving lane widths.

FROM: Jerry Hodge, Director of Public Works
DATE: December 28, 2001
SUBJECT: Parking Lot Aisle Widths -Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Public Works recommends that the current parking lot aisle width requirements outlined

Background
The developer for the Wal-Mart and Sam's Club development requested that the City
review the current City ordinances regarding 'allowable parking aisle widths. The
developer is proposing 60-degree angle parking with 20 foot one-way aisles on a major
portion of the parking layout. This proposal does not meet the current City parking
requirements outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. Traffic Staff reviewed the current City
ordinance and compared it with national guidelines and requirements of other cities in the
Dallas -Fort Worth area. Findings are presented below.
Current City of Grapevine Requirements
Parking aisles perform three important functions: they provide access to the parking
spaces, facilitate circulation in the parking lot and serve as fire lanes (when designated as
such). The current City requirement for parking aisles is outlined in the table below.
Parking aisles designated as fire lanes are required to be a minimum of 25 feet. The
current City requirements do not make a distinction between one-way and two-way aisles.

0 degrees — 34 degrees 18 feet
35 degrees — 90 degrees 25 feet
Parking Lot Aisle Widths -Zoning Ordinance Requirements
12/28/01
Page 3
Analysis and Recommendations
These are some of the general findings that Staff can summarize from a study of the
parking requirements of other cities and the ITE guidelines.
The steeper (smaller) the parking angle, the easier it is to get in and out of the space
and the less aisle width required. The current City minimum required aisle width of 25
feet for parking angles of 35 to 90 degrees, although appropriate for two-way aisles,
is very conservative for one-way aisles. The aisle width for two-way aisles can be much
smaller for angles less than 90 degrees.
One-way aisles are typically used and work well with parking angles that are less than
90 degrees (30-degree, 45-degree, 60-degree and 75-degree) while two-way aisles are
normally used with 90-degree parking. Two-way aisles are not generally convenient
to use with parking angles less than 90 degrees, as it is difficult to make left turns into
the parking spaces. The smaller the angle, the greater the degree of difficulty.
However, two-way aisles are commonly used with 60-degree parking in many shopping
centers, especially when the aisles are used as fire lanes. It is recommended that
when two-way aisles are used with angle parking, the aisle width be a minimum of 25
feet.
One-way aisles are not recommended with 90-degree parking, as it is difficult for
motorists to figure out the correct aisle direction, especially when exiting parking
spaces. Therefore the current City Ordinance should be modified so that for 90-degree
parking, only two-way aisles should be used.
The current City standard of 25-foot minimum width for two-way aisles with 90-degree
is appropriate and conforms to ITE recommended guidelines. For one-way aisles with
parking angles less than 90 degrees, a minimum width between 18 feet to 22 feet
(depending on the parking angle) should be used. This width allows large vehicles to
easily enter and exit the parking spaces. Large vehicles require a larger turning radius,
especially when making a right -turn into a parking space. A width less than 25 feet for
parking angles less than 90 degrees also serves as a visual reminder- that a narrow
aisle is a one-way aisle and discourages motorists from traveling the wrong way.

Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Guidelines
The ITE sets the national standard for traffic and transportation engineering practice.
Many local agencies develop their own standards using the ITE guidelines as a basis. The
ITE guidelines classify parking lots into low, medium and high turnover depending on the
use they serve. For example, a shopping center parking lot would be classified as high
turn over. The following table shows the recommended aisle widths for large size vehicles
on high turnover lots. The guidelines allow for a one -foot decrease in aisle widths if
needed.

Parking Requirements for Other Cities in DFW Area
The cities that were surveyed include Allen, Bedford, Carrollton, Fort Worth, Haltom City,
Keller, Lewisville, Mesquite and Plano. The survey indicates a wide variation of aisle
widths that range from 10' 2" to 24'. Typically, the minimum aisle width was found to be
a function of the parking angle the smaller the angle, the smaller the aisle width. The aisle
width was also a function of the circulation -it was general ly'smaller for one-way aisles and
wider for two-way aisles. For angles less than 90 degrees, the minimum aisle width
requirement in all the cities that were surveyed (except the City of Carrollton) was 20 feet
or less, regardless of whether the aisle was one-way or two-way. The City of Carrollton
requires minimum aisle widths of 22'-23' for 75-degree angle parking. A representative
sample of minimum aisle widths is presented in the table below.

same as required for a use of similar nature.
D. Whenever a building or use constructed or established after the effective date of this
Ordinance is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of dwelling
units, seating capacity or otherwise, to create a need for an increase of ten percent (10%) or
more in the number of existing parking spaces, such spaces shall be provided on the basis of
the enlargement or change. Whenever a building or use existing prior to the effective date
of this Ordinance is enlarged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more in floor area or in

building or use served, or where such spaces are collectively or jointly provided and used, a
written agreement thereby assuring their retention for such purposes, shall be properly
drawn and executed by the parties concerned, approved as to form by the City Attorney and
