Director Planner II Planning Technician Vice -Chairman Fry called the meeting to order at 6:09 p.m. First for the Commission to consider was possible amendments to Section 39, Historic Landmark relative to city initiated historic landmark designation. Several months ago during a public hearing to establish a historic landmark designation on the Wells Fargo bank, the legal counsel representing the bank pointed out an inconsistency in the wording within paragraph D, of Section 39, Historic Landmark, relative to the procedure to follow to establish a historic landmark—the procedure to follow is the same process as that required for establishing a conditional use (Section 48) on a tract or parcel of land. However, within Section 48, Conditional Uses, paragraph D.3 requires the owner's consent to the filing of the application. At that initial public hearing for the Wells Fargo historic landmark designation the bank was not in favor of the overlay and had not signed the application indicating their consent; their PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 21, 2014 legal counsel questioned how it could be considered given the language as written. Given that the city has initiated historic overlays without the consent of the property owner and may do so in the future if necessary, staff is recommending that Section 39, Historic Landmark be amended to eliminate this inconsistency in wording. Discussion was held as to whether a change needed to be made at all. Staff reminded the Commission that we have had previous staff initiated historic landmark application in the past and that there may be others in the future. Monica Hotelling moved to set a public hearing regarding amendment changes to Section 39, Historic Landmark as written. Beth Tiggelaar seconded the motion which prevailed by the follow vote: Ayes: Fry, Wilson, Hotelling, Tiggelaar and Luers Nays: Fechter and Mason Next for the Commission to consider was possible amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations. Earlier this year the Commission and Council approved amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District regulations resulting from changes the Texas State Legislature made during their last legislative session to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Code. Specifically, wording was added to allow restaurant operators to pursue the Beer and Wine Retailer's Permit; the Brewer's Permit was added to Section 42, paragraph 8.3, to exempt brewers from the restaurant/food sales requirement. During that same legislative session, the Legislature added wording to the Alcohol Beverage Code relative to distilleries allowing direct sales of distilled spirits to consumers if located within a "wet area," i.e. an area that has already held a local option election to allow some form of alcohol beverage sales. Specifically the amendments to the Code allows for on -premise consumption of the distiller's product(s) and the off -premise (package) sales of not more than two, 750 milliliter bottles of the distiller's products within a 30 day period. Staff has had several meetings within the past year from potential distillers considering operations within the city however the ordinance does not currently allow for the on- and off -premise consumption of this type of alcoholic beverage. Establishment of a distillery would require a conditional use. Discussion was held regarding the definition of a distillery. Staff stated that TABC has a definition which would be used. Monica Hotelling moved to set a public hearing regarding amendment changes to Section 42. Supplementary District to include distilleries.

B J Wilson moved to set a public hearing regarding amendment changes to Section 23A, Grapevine Vintage to include breweries and distilleries as a conditional use.
