In the Commission's deliberation session Darlene Freed moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to approve the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lots 1 R thru 3R, High Oaks Estates, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Freed, Coy, Martinez, Newby, Fry and Dunn Nays: None AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE CODE OF ORDINANCES APPENDIX D SECTION 28A "HGT" HISTORIC GRAPEVINE TOWNSHIP DISRICT SECTION 47 SITE PLAN REVIEW AND SECTION 60 SIGN REGULATIONS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the amendments to Appendix D, City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82 -73, specifically to establish Section 28A, "HGT" Historic Grapevine Township District and by amending Section 47 Site Plan Review and Section 60 Sign Regulations relative to appropriate revisions reflective of the development criteria of the new district. 032398 5 MARCH 23,1998 During the past year, several worksessions with Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission have been conducted to discuss and evaluate the various development parameters associated with the creation of this new district. The last worksession, a joint session with Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission which occurred on February 3, 1998, recommended the addition of a side yard requirement and the elimination of all conditional uses except for bed and breakfast facilities to the district. Section 47, Site Plan Review and Section 60, Sign Regulations was also submitted for consideration with the appropriate revisions reflective of the development criteria of this new district. The proposed new Historic Grapevine Township District was drafted to provide extra land use control for historic Grapevine in an area where boundaries are approximately Northwest Highway, Ball Street, Cotton Belt Railroad, Austin and Woods Street. The proposed district would add additional control in uses that would require a conditional use to insure the preservation of a historic building in the Historic Grapevine Township District. It also takes into account an area which is unusual and somewhat difficult to develop in that it gives the Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to vary from the design criteria such as parking lot development, yard requirements, and screening and buffering of the development. With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session Chris Coy moved, with a second by Stephen Newby, to approve the Amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Appendix D, Section 28A "HG7 Historic Grapevine Township District, Section 47, Site Plan Review and Section 60 Sign Regulations with the addition of a Wine Tasting Facility permited as a Conditional Use, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Freed, Coy, Martinez, Newby, Fry and Dunn Nays: None 0 • 0 1 0.10 Lei 0 1 W-11 1604 10 PRELIMINARY PLAT — LOT 1, BLOCK 1.

SECTION 26 "HC" HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL, SECTION 28 "CBD" CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND SECTION 60 SIGN REGULATIONS Next for the Commission was to consider was setting a public hearing for amendments to Appendix D, City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, specifically changes to Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District, Section 28, "CBD" Central Business District, and Section 60, Sign Standards. Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District has two distinct sets of permitted and conditional use categories based on whether or not the property in question 032398 8 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 23, 1998 has driveway access and frontage along a State Highway /Central Avenue. If property has frontage along a State Highway /Central Avenue, the permitted use category cumulatively includes the permitted uses allowed in the "CC" Community Commercial District, "PO" Professional Office District, "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District, and "LB" Limited Business District. This cumulative inclusion of less intensive uses does not currently apply to those areas zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District that do not have driveway access and frontage along a State Highway /Central Avenue. It is Staff's opinion that the less intensive uses that are a part of the "PO" Professional Office District would be applicable to those areas zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District that do not have driveway access or frontage along a State Highway /Central Avenue. Staff recommends a change to the "HC" Highway Commercial District that will allow any permitted use in the "PO" Professional Office District for property zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District that does not have drive access or frontage along a State Highway /Central Avenue. At the February 17, 1998 joint public hearing, a zone change request and conditional use request rezoning a small lot from "CBD" Central Business District to "GV" Grapevine Vintage District for a wine tasting facility with on- and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (wine only) was approved by Council. Due to the evolving nature of businesses located within the "CBD" Central Business District and the future possibility of more requests for wineries /wine tasting facilities in the area, it is Staff's opinion that an amendment to the "CBD" Central Business District regulations allowing wineries and wine tasting facilities as a conditional use is a more equitable solution than to encourage a zone change to "GV" Grapevine Vintage District and seek multiple variances to the lot in question. Staff recommends a change to the "CBD" Central Business District regulations to allow wineries and wine tasting facilities as a conditional use. Section 60, Sign Standards currently . allows on- premise ground signs in residentially zoned districts in conjunction with churches, parks, playgrounds, multifamily dwellings and neighborhood day care centers. It does not however, allow on- premise signs for bed and breakfast facilities that are located in residentially zoned districts. An application has been received to establish a bed and breakfast at 205 East College Street and an on- premise ground sign is part of the request. Staff recommends a change to Section 60, Sign Regulations that will allow the inclusion of an on- premise ground sign as part of the Special Use Permit/site plan review process for bed and breakfast facilities in residentially zoned districts. In the Commission's deliberation session Darlene Freed moved, with a second by Kathy Martinez, to set a public hearing to the Amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Appendix D, Section 26 "HC" Highway Commercial, Section 28 "CBD" Central Business District and Section 60 Sign Regulations, which prevailed by the following vote: 032398 9 Ayes: Oliver, Freed, Coy, Martinez, Newby, Fry and Dunn Nays: None MINUTES — FEBRUARY 5. 1 Next for the Commission to consider were the minutes of the February 5, 1998 Planning and Zoning workshop minutes.
