APPENDIX D AM98 -02— SECTION 52 TREE PRESERVATION AND SECTION 53 LANDSCAPING REGULATIONS ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - -- AM98- 03— SECTION 26 "HC" HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT: SECTION 28 "CBD" CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: SECTION 60 SIGN STANDARDS Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council were the proposed changes to Section 52, Tree Preservation, Section 53, Landscaping Regulations, Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District, 042198 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING APRIL 21, 1998 Section 28, "CBD" Central Business District, and Section 60, Sign Standards, and take any other action necessary. Section 52, Tree Preservation and Section 53, Landscaping Regulations: At the February 5, 1998, Tri-Annual Planning and Zoning Commission Workshop, the Planning and Zoning Commission expressed concerns regarding the validity of a "recommended tree list". The Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to bring the tree list forward as a "required tree list". The proposed amendments would allow the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to approve and revise the approved tree list, without an ordinance amendment. The tree list would be maintained by the Department of Development Services and revised according to the direction of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Any replacement tree or required landscaping tree, as per Section 52, Tree Preservation and Section 53, Landscaping Requirements, would need to be selected from the approved tree list. At the April 10, 1997 Commission workshop, Mr. Curtis Taber of Southwest Landscape Nursery advised the Commission about minimum tree sizes, how and where they should measured and, their appropriateness in commercial and industrial landscaped areas. Section 53, Landscaping Regulations was amended at the June 3, 1997 joint public hearing to incorporate Mr. Taber's recommendations on minimum tree size. The City, however, had not used a tree list comprised of species most suitable for use in various required landscaping areas. Mr. Taber had provided a list of recommended trees appropriate for the City's varied soil types and growth conditions. Staff developed, from the list of trees supplied by Mr. Taber, two recommended tree lists: one list to be utilized specifically for required front yards and perimeter landscaping, and another tree list specifically for use in the required landscaped islands within parking areas. Staff presented the recommended tree lists to the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 1, 1997. Council Member Pittman expressed some concerns regarding the types of trees being recommended. Mr. Pittman directed staff to contact Mr. Neil Sperry regarding the recommended tree lists. Staff contacted Mr. Sperry by phone to discuss a recommended tree list suitable for this geographic location and revised the recommended tree lists in accordance with his recommendations. Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District: 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 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" 042198 6 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING APRIL 21, 1998 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 Staffs 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. Section 28 "CBD" Central Business District: 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, the Planning and Zoning Commission felt an amendment to the "CBD" Central Business District regulations allowing wineries and wine tasting facilities as a conditional use would be a more equitable solution than to encourage a zone change to "GV" Grapevine Vintage District and seek multiple variances to the lot in question. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends a change to the "CBD" Central Business District regulations to allow wineries and wine tasting facilities as a conditional use. At the March 23, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission deliberation session, it was suggested that drive - through restaurants be eliminated from the Conditional Use section since there are none currently located in the "CBD" Central Business District and the infrastructure development within the district is not capable of adequately servicing a drive - through restaurant. Section 60, Sign Standards: 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. 042198 7 & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING APRIL 21, 1991 With no further questions, guests to speak, nor letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed.
