The applicant was requesting a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Planned Commercial Center for a 24-hour grocery store with display, service and sales area in excess of 9,500 square feet and the possession, storage, retail sale, and off-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only) in conjunction with the grocery store and a gasoline sales/convenience store. This case was most recently considered during Council's regular session at the July 20, 1999 meeting. Council elected to reopen the public hearing for this request. The applicant reduced the size of the original planned commercial center by removing the proposed City park from the original boundary area. The applicant also included the floor plan for the gasoline sales/convenience store at the southwest corner of State Highway 26/Pool Road with the request. This request was also tabled during Council's regular session at the June 15, 1999 hearing in order for the applicant to address traffic issues along Old Mill Run. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial. The applicant proposed to establish a Planned Commercial Center on Lot 1, a portion of Lot 2, and Lot 3, of the SH 26 /Pool Road Addition. Lot 1 in its entirety, is zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District. Lot 2 falls within two zoning districts: "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District and "PO" Professional Office District. On Lot 2, the portion that will contain the grocery store is zoned "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District and the portion that contains the parking area for the grocery store is zoned "PO" Professional Office District. Lot 3 is also subdivided by two different zoning districts. The majority of Lot 3 is zoned "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District however, a small portion of Lot 3 is also zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District. The applicant proposes to establish the Planned Commercial Center only in those areas that are zoned "HC" Highway Commercial District and "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District. A 5,000 square foot restaurant/retail pad site is shown on Lot 3 that spans both the "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District and the "HC" Highway Commercial District. Although this is highly unusual, the site is in compliance since it meets all development criteria of both districts. All uses proposed on this site must be uses allowed in both districts. The proposed layout for Lot 2 is also highly unusual since it falls within two zoning categories, "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District and "PO" Professional Office District. Planned Commercial Centers are not allowed within the "PO" Professional Office District, 081799 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING AUGUST 17, 1999 therefore the parking area for the grocery store on Lot 2, which is zoned "PO" Professional Office District is not included in the Planned Commercial Center boundary. Mr. Jay Grogan, representing the developer, informed the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission that he intends to develop a quality shopping center, will donate land for a park, together with $65,000 to apply toward hike & bike trails within the park, donate Innovative Transportation System's time to help resolve cut - through traffic on Old Mill Run, plant 4 inch caliper trees, upscale exterior elevations, limit truck and tanker truck traffic, reduce late -night lighting levels of the professional office parcel to a level adequate for security only and limit the hours of delivery. Mr. Mike Stryek of Innovative Transportation Systems discussed the proposed solutions to the traffic problems. Mr. Jeff Williams of Graham and Associates discussed the environment impacts of the proposed development. Grapevine citizens Tony McCalla, Barbara Duvall, Sam Solomon, Kathleen Galaise, Dean Mannen, Chris Lowe, Steve Early, Rosa Lee Weiler, Larry Watkins, and Peter Ots spoke in opposition of the proposed development stating problems with traffic, flooding of Bear Creek, and quality of life. Grapevine citizens John Zikos, Tom Salanty, Cheryl Salanty, and Tina Moore spoke in support of the proposed development stating the proposed improvements to the traffic problems and convenience of the proposed shopping center. With no further questions, guests to speak, the public hearing was closed.
