The first order of business to come before the Planning and Zoning Coramission was the consideration of zoning application Z81-5 requesting "C-2" Community Business District, submitted by Great Texas Companies, Inc., represented by Blaine East. Member Harlen Joyce pointed out the property in question was presently zoned "R-3" Multi• Family. He would also like to see a medical and dental building ng erected rather than more apartments. Member Harold Anderson agreed with Member Joyce, however he suggested a Specific Use Permit in that area but questioned if such action was taken would the area be opened up to commercial zoning. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer was concerned if a Specific Use Permit was granted when the owner would be back trying to change the zoning to "C-2". Member Harold Anderson said he was not opposed to a Specific Use Permit. Chairman Duane Rogers summarized by saying the majority of the citizens were opposed to "C-2" zoning but not a professional building. Specific Use Permit would enhance the area by restricting the construction of more apartments. Member Harlen Joyce made a motion for a Specific Use Permit be approved for the use of Professional, medical, and dental offices with "C-2" setbacks. Member Ron Cook seconded the motion. No action was taken relative to the previous motion. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer questioned the parking facilities that would be provided and whether customers would have to back out onto TiMberline. Member Robert Sands questioned what would happen in the future if all the doctors moved. The City would end up with an empty building or a requested zoning change. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer pointed out that the homeowners knew the apartments would be built there when they invested their money in a home. However, they did not know an office building would be located there. Member Harold Anderson made a motion to deny the application requesting a zoning change. iieinber Robert Sands seconded the motion. Denial was based on traffic problems that would be created and the zoning change was not in accordance with the master -plan map. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Rogers, Spencer, Anderson, Norman, and Sands Nays: Cook and Joyce ZONING APPLICATION Z81-6, C.D.E. Investments, Inc. The next order of business to come before the Planninc, and Zoning Commission was the consideration of zoning application Z81-6 requesting "SP" Specific Use Permit for the storage, retail sale, and off - premise consumption of alcoholic beveraqes, represented by Scott A,, Keeshin. Member Robert Sands pointed out that the Commission must be consistent with their 1 of 4 decisions in the past concerning this same request and deny the application. Member Harlen Joyce said the citizens voted to have beer in Grapevine and the Commission has granted requests in the past and must be fair. Member Robert Sands said that Mr. M and the Red Ball convenience stores were located on major thoroughfares or highways. Member Ron Cook stated the previous arguements do not warrant a zoning change and he would not support one. Vice Chairman Sharron Spencer said the Commission has denied the request in the past and they could not support it now. vice Chairman Sharron Spencer then made a motion to deny the application on the basis of denial in the past with no change in the property or application and the requested commercial operation should not be located in a residential neighborhood but rather on a major highway or lake corridor.

Wilemon. A public hearing on this matter was held on November 18, 1980. Because a service station application had not been submitted, consideration of the zoning application was tabled until December 16, 1980. Upon the request of the applicant, the case was tabled again until January 20, 1981. Despite phone calls and letters on behalf of the City Staff, a service station applica- tion has not yet been received.

A motion was made by the Council to return the case to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a clear recommendation. Member Robert Sands explained that he was absent at the December 16 meeting, however he had gone to the area and saw no reason to deny the application. Member Harold Anderson was concerned about spot zoning and suggested looking at the master plan map. He did think that a day care center for that area would be good but if the Commission varied from the master plan the City could end up F.1 0im'd with a vacant building. vice Chairman Sharron Spencer stated that Dublin and Tipperary Streets were dirt and the homeowners had lived there for quite some time and were opposed to the zoning change. Member Harlen Joyce made a motion to grant a specific use permit for a day care center only, with screening on the north and east sides. Member Gerald Norman seconded the motion.
