POPULATION PROJECTION BY RAY COLLINS
Next, the Board of Zoning Adjustment heard a presentation from Ray
Collins, City Planner, concerning population projection for
Grapevine and the surrounding area.
Ms. Collins showed a graph on how cities in the metroplex have
grown; Bedford doubled in the last 10 years; Keller has doubled;
Flowermound tripled in the last 10 years. Grapevine's population
shows the following increase: 1960 - 2,821; 1970 - 7,049; 1980 -
11,800; 1991 - 29,200. By the year 2000, the population could
reach 45,800.
Ms. Collins then talked about single family property being
substantially developed in the next 10 years. In 1990, Grapevine
issued more single family permits then any of the other cites in
the area. She noted that apartments may come back in the next 7 to
10 years.
Also Ms. Collins went over future growth areas of Grapevine, which
would be in south Grapevine; 35 acres on 121 for multi - family; a
large multi-- family area of 150 acres in northeast Grapevine; and
single - family areas in west Grapevine and in the north central
area.
