The applicant was requesting to amend deed restrictions associated with Lots 1 thru 10, Block 1, Birdsong Addition established by Zone Change Request Z95 -06 (Ordinance 95 -64). 081898 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING SEPTEMBER 15, 1998 Mr. Tommy Hardy, Director of Development Services, informed the City Council and Planning and Zoning commission that this property was rezoned at the July 18, 1995 joint public hearing from "R-20" Single Family District to "R- 12.5" Single Family District. Deed restrictions were approved along with the zone change request the most significant of which was a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet for all lots within the subdivision. The deed restrictions were modified at the August 15, 1995 joint public hearing because of the expansion of Hall-Johnson Road and the need to align Harvestwood Court with Harvestwood Drive. Lot sizes were reduced somewhat however the minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet was maintained for all lots within the subdivision. The deed restrictions associated with this case maintain the minimum 15,000 square foot lot size and include additional development criteria. The City Attorney has reviewed the deed restrictions as to form and content. Mr. Bruce Birdsong, representing the applicant, requested favorable consideration of the application. Resident, Mr. Terry Walker, was concerned that the deed restriction might be too restrictive. With no further questions, guests to speak, letters or petitions, the public hearing was closed.

Proposed amendments to Section 47, Site Plan Review —This request was generated by staff to recommend the elimination of the environmental assessment requirement for conditional and special uses as stated in Section 47.E.2 Site Plan Review, and the elimination of the waiver of this requirement as stated in Section 47.F. The environmental assessment requirement was instituted specifically for 081898 5 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING SEPTEMBER 15, 1998 development that occurs on DFW International Airport property. With the passage of Senate Bill 348 that eliminates City planning authority over development that occurs on airport property, it seems appropriate to eliminate this requirement. Council will still have the ability through the conditional use or special use request process to require an environmental assessment when it is deemed necessary. Proposed amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations —This request was generated by staff to recommend consideration of eliminating building side yard and/or rear yard setback requirements for all zoning districts with property lines adjacent to DFW International Airport. This amendment would eliminate only the side yard and/or rear yard that is contiguous with airport property. With the passage of Senate Bill 348 eliminating City zoning authority on airport property, maintenance of building setbacks from the property line adjacent to DFW International Airport is unnecessary given the development potential of the property on the airport side of the property line. Proposed amendments to Section 36, "PCD" Planned Commerce Development District—This request was generated by staff to recommend changes to Section 36, "PCD" Planned Commerce Development District to improve the development potential of those parcels within the City that are zoned "PCD." The proposed amendment would permit hotel development in excess of 500 guest rooms in the Standard Development option as a conditional use. Proposed amendments to Section 56, Off-Street Parking Regulations—This request was generated by Polar Ice Entertainment, Incorporated who are seeking an amendment to Section 56, Off-Street Parking Regulations, specifically to reduce the number of required parking spaces necessary to be in compliance with the ordinance. Currently the ordinance does not make any distinction between skating facilities and any other type of indoor commercial amusement— all of which are parked at a ratio of one space per 100 square feet of enclosed floor area. With a proposed floor area of approximately 78,000 square feet, Polar Ice Entertainment feels the required 780 parking spaces is too great a number, which would effectively prohibit them from developing on the site they have chosen in Grapevine. Polar Ice Entertainment commissioned Kimley-Horn and Associates, Incorporated to conduct a traffic generation and parking study based on their indoor ice skating concept. The data for this study was collected from observations of three indoor ice skating facilities one of which is located in Addison and another in Plano. The results of the study concluded that a parking ratio of 3.42 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building area is appropriate to park this type of use including peak weekend (Friday and Saturday) hours. Based on the results of their study, the proposed 78,000 square foot facility would require 267 parking spaces. 081898 6 Staff commissioned Mr. Dan Boutwell of Municipal Planning Resources Group, Incorporated to conduct a parking study on the indoor ice skating facility concept. A review of ordinances in the Metroplex area as well as selected sites throughout the country revealed that no city has a separate parking ratio for an indoor ice skating facility. Most cities relegated this use to a commercial recreational category. MPRG recommended two possible parking ratios: one parking space per 2.5 persons based on the design capacity (occupancy load) of the entire structure or, one parking space for each three seats of spectator seating plus one space for each 200 square feet of floor area not used for spectator seating. With an approximate occupancy load of 2300 persons, the first recommended ratio would require approximately 920 parking spaces; the second recommended ratio would require approximately 464 parking spaces. Current City Requirements: 1 space /100 sq. ft. enclosed floor area = 780 parking spaces Polar Ice Recommendation: 3.42 spaces /1000 sq. ft. floor area = 267 parking spaces MPRG Recommendations: 1 space /2.5 persons = 920 parking spaces 1 space /3 seats plus 1 space /200 sq. ft. of floor area = 464 parking spaces At the August 18, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission deliberation session, representatives of Polar Ice Entertainment and Kimley -Horn and Associates made a brief presentation stating their position on the need to revise the parking standards for indoor skating facilities. Although it was generally agreed by the Commission that the current ratio of one space per 100 square feet of enclosed floor area was excessive, they were not convinced that Polar Ice Entertainment's recommendation was appropriate either. The Commission tasked Staff with determining an appropriate ratio that could be applied befitting any type of indoor skating facility within the City. Staff recommends a ratio of one parking space per 2.5 persons based on the occupant load of all skating surfaces plus one parking space per 3 persons based on spectator seating. Staff Recommendation: 1 space /2.5 persons (based on occupant load of ice surface) plus 1 space /3 persons (based on spectator seating) = 364 parking spaces This ratio establishes a parking requirement that is significantly less than our current standard but is more appropriate for this type of use; it also creates a parking requirement greater than that determined by Polar Ice Entertainment. 081898 7 Representatives of Polar Ice Entertainment support Staffs recommendation. If Staff's recommended parking ratio were to be applied to the only indoor skating facility currently in operation (Skatetown) within the City, 181 off-street parking spaces would be required rather than the 157 spaces that are currently approved for the site. In the Commission's deliberation session Chris Coy moved, with a second by Kathy Martinez, to approve the amendments to Section 47, Site Plan Review; amendments to Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations; amendments to Section 36, "PCD" Planned Commerce Development District; amendments to Section 56, Off—Street Parking Regulations, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Coy, Martinez, Newby, Fry, Martin, and Busbee Nays: None Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU98-47 submitted by Wendy Hunter for property located at 2655 Grapevine Mills Circle East and platted as Lot 3, Block 2, Grapevine Mills Addition Phase 1.

In the Commission's deliberation session Herb Fry moved, with a second by Kevin Busbee, to approve Conditional Use Request CU98-47 and a waiver to Section 47.E.2 in accordance with Section 47.F., which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Coy, Martinez, Newby, Fry, Martin, and Busbee Nays: None CU98-48 — MASON JAR DEVELOPMENT 081898 8 Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU98 -48 submitted by Carl W Reed for property located at 2605 Grapevine Mills Circle East and platted as Lot 4, Block 2, Grapevine Mills Addition Phase 1.

The applicant proposes to establish two separate restaurant concepts within the same structure; a 4,495 square foot concept to be called "MJ's Chop House" and, a 5,850 square foot concept to be called "The Mason Jar." Both concepts are fully functional with separate entrances and separate kitchens devoted to food preparation for patrons of each restaurant.
