Mr. Stone has revised his previous request and is asking specifically for an amendment to Section 56, Parking Regulations as they apply to apartment complexes. Mr. Stone has withdrawn his request for an amendment to Section 53, Landscaping relative to landscaping islands in the parking areas. Conditional Use Permit request CU98-15 (Ord. 98-55) for a 392-unit apartment complex located generally north and east of the intersection of Grapevine Mills Circle and Grapevine Mills Boulevard North (Cross Creek at Grapevine Ranch) was approved May 5, 1998. A subsequent revision to place canopies in the parking area was considered and approved on December 7, 1999 (CU99-58; Ord. 99-173). During the building inspection process it was discovered that a number of landscape islands which were part of the approved landscape plan, were not provided on site. In addition, it was determined that not all of the required 030700 5 parking was provided for on site. The project superintendent believed that there was some "leeway" in these areas particularly when an effort was being made to save existing trees. Section 56, Parking Regulations requires that 2.5 parking spaces be provided for every apartment unit. With a unit count of 392-units, this complex requires 980-parking spaces. Parking provided on site at this time is 936-parking spaces--44 spaces below the minimum required by ordinance. Mr. Stone provided a graphic showing the extent of the changes made to the parking area/landscaping islands and a parking study conducted by Kimley-Horn as it relates to parking for existing apartment complexes in Grapevine. He is requesting that the Planning and Zoning Commission authorize staff to draft changes to Section 56 such that a mechanism can be provided for the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to consider reduction in the minimum parking requirements associated with this apartment project.
