6. Minimum parcel size (25 acres PRD -6 and 15 acres PRD -12) means
contiguous property -no roadway through it (this affects the
Lightner property in south Grapevine.)
7. Minimum lot size for conventional single - family homes shall be
7500 square feet.
Highlights of proposed changes to the zoning map:
1. Pickering Park shall be reflected as a Governmental Use.
2. Southwest corner of Dove Road and Dove Loop Road- provide for
single- family buffer next to existing single - family homes and
provide for townhouse buffer next to existing condo /apartment
project.
3. West side of Park Boulevard just south of the existing Woodlake
Apartments (same propety for which moratorium waiver was denied
to Keith Cecil and Associates on November 1, 1983,) - Sharron
noted that this is in discussion between Mr. Boyle, Mr. Wiles
and Mr. Smith to see if there is some designation whereby they
can develop up to 16 units per acre as presently zoned.
4. Along Northwest Highway changed to C-C.
5. Central Business District was reduced in size -now includes some
C-C.
6. Current mobile home parks are designated for mobile home zoning;
however, mobile home parks currently operating as non - conforming
uses were left as such.

R -20.
OLD BUSINESS
The Planning and Zoning Commission was next to conduct a workshop and
review session relative to the proposed amendments to Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance No. 82 -73 and the zoning map and take any necessary
action relative thereto.
City Attorney, John Boyle, advised that he was present to inform him-
self on what has been and yet is to be accomplished by the Commission
relative to completion of the City rezoning process. He emphasized the
importance of making the detailed textual changes and before the actual
recommendation is made by the Commission, the text should be as is going
to be recommended.
In answer to questions relative to legalities involved in reducing the
maximum units per acre, Mr. Boyle advised that a change from 20 to 16 in
the high density areas would not constitute a change in the zoning as
would changing 20 to 5, for instance which would be actually changing
the zoning category. Further, Mr. Boyle advised that a good time to
change the density requirments would be when the new zoning map is
adopted and until that time, individual judgement calls of a maximum of
16, rather than 20 units per acre is acceptable since the requirements
for high density areas are 12 -20.
HC- Highway Commercial District: The following changes, additions, & /or
revisions were recommended for this zoning designation:
Note -It was noted that this district combines the old C -W Commercial
Warehouse and the C -OU Commercial- Outdoor districts; however, some of
the uses would be more appropriate to "Heavy Commercial" rather than
Highway Commercial.
