The applicant was requesting to rezone the "R-TH" Townhouse District, "R-3.75" Three and Four Family District and "CBD" Central Business District property to "R-7.5" Single Family Residential and "GU" Governmental Use District and amend the City's Future Land Use Plan for the area to low density residential. At its April 3, 2007 workshop, City Council requested that a public hearing be set for consideration of rezoning the area west of downtown described above. The Development Services department recently conducted a land use study of the "R- TH" Townhouse zoning district west of downtown. As a result of this study, staff has concluded that, other than the large areas owned by the City of Grapevine Housing 051507 7 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING MAY 15, 2007 Authority and First United Methodist Church the vast majority of the property is currently utilized as single family residential. The subject zoning was placed on the property during the citywide rezoning in 1984. Prior to this, the property was zoned "R-2" Two Family District. While "R-TH" Townhouse District might have been deemed appropriate in 1984, it may not be realistic or desirable to perpetuate this zoning. The City's Master Plan shows the subject area as medium density residential land use, and the current "R-TH" Townhouse District zoning is compatible with this land use. Therefore, it is recommended that if the rezoning is desirable, the Master Plan be amended to low density residential land use. Staff was available for questions and requested favorable consideration of the application. Mr. Russell Towery, property owner of 330 South Church Street, spoke against the rezoning stating concerns that it would lower property values. With no further questions, guests to speak, seven letter of support and two letter of protest, the public hearing was closed.

As the ordinance is currently written, "depth of lot" is defined as the mean horizontal distance between the front and rear lot lines.
