IN AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 60 SIGN STANDARDS: SECTION 28 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND: SECTION 49 SPECIAL USE PERMITS Staff recommended the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council consider the following amendments to the City of Grapevine's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82 -73 and take any action necessary. Proposed Amendment to Section 60, Sign Standards — Under the current sign ordinance, signage is not regulated in the "GU" Governmental Use District. The proposed amendment to the sign ordinance would require any signs within a "GU" Governmental Use District, to meet the sign requirements of the most restrictive adjacent or contiguous district, except wall, ground, or monument signs are permitted for public schools adjacent to any district. Signs of a duly constituted governmental body, for traffic or similar regulatory devices, legal notices, warnings at railroad crossings, recreational scoreboards for football, baseball fields or other sports attractions, and city park signage; and other instructional or regulatory signs having to do with health, hazards, parking, dumping, etc., would be exempt from the requirements of Section 60, Sign Standards. Proposed Amendment to Section 28. "CBD" Central Business District -- Under the current "CBD" Central Business District, a conditional use permit is required for studios for the creations of crafts, furniture, and heritage arts, which are homemade or handcrafted. Such use is limited to 20 percent of the total floor area of the permitted use. The proposed amendment would not limit the percent of floor area utilized by artisan studios, for the creation of crafts, furniture, and handmade or handcrafted arts. Proposed Amendment to Section 49, Special Use Permits — Section 49, Special Use Permits, provides a mechanism for gas and oil well drilling and production in any nonresidential district with a site plan approved by Council. A special use request and zone change application was submitted on June 2, 1998 for a gas well drilling and production operation on property owned by H/A Grapevine Joint Venture, to be located approximately 100 feet south of the Denton Creek lift station. Due to the zone change request to rezone the property from "R -MF -1" Multifamily District to "BP" Business Park, deed restrictions that existed on the site and another site to the west needed to be modified. Mr. Jerry Stone of Duke, Inc., the developer of the Mills Run apartment project refused to sign the modified deed restrictions due to the possible negative impact the gas well operation would have on the apartment development. Due to the inability of Mr. Ron Glover the agent for the H/A Grapevine Joint Venture and Mr. Jerry Stone to reach an agreement on the deed restrictions, H/A Grapevine Joint Venture's zone change request and special use request were withdrawn. 102098 7 I I • �11 Iii:1 A new special use request has been submitted by H/A Grapevine Joint Venture for a gas well drilling and production operation at a different location adjacent to F.M. 2499 near the service entrance to the Denton Creek Lift Station, to the north and east of the Grapevine Mills Mall, tentatively scheduled for the November 17, 1998 joint public hearing. Mr. Jerry Stone, of Duke, Inc. is adamantly opposed to the development of the gas well facility. The proposed amendment to Section 49, Special Use Permits will eliminate as a special use, gas and oil well drilling and production. Discussion was held regarding the proposed amendment to Section 49 would not allow oil and gas exploration with the City. City Attorney, John Boyle stated that elimination could be considered constitutional taking.
