Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District was conceived and developed through several workshops with the Commission and Council. It was originally intended for implementation within an existing urban framework and encouraged density by incorporating structures, residences, retail shops and other services close together in a layered format to enable a more efficient use of resources and to promote a more convenient, enjoyable, urban place to both live and work. 101409WK 1 P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2009 Over the last year several rezoning requests to the "MXU" Mixed Use District have presented stand-alone apartment structures as part of their development plan with no ground floor retail or office as part of the proposal. Discussion has centered on whether or not these requests truly meet the spirit and intent of the "MXU" Mixed Use District ordinance. Discussion was held regarding the elimination of first floor office and retail, proposed uses and phasing by the developers. Staff was directed to prepare a draft to amend Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District Regulation with the following changes: Revise the "PURPOSE" of the ordinance. MXU zoning may only be requested within a boundary (to be determined) relative to the Central Business District. Each MXU request must have at least two components of the primary uses allowed in the MXU District Guidelines, and one must be residential. However, if the request contains residential and hotel, a third primary use must be contained within the request. Each building does not necessarily have to house mixed uses, but if a building has only a single use, other buildings with other appropriate uses for the district must be included in the plans, and must be constructed at the same time. A percentage of residential to other uses will be determined. Free standing restaurants, retail, and movie theatres may be considered as a Conditional Use request. Eliminate Section G from Section U.2. Flexible Design Standards. The Commission recognized the need for consideration of special projects such as the recent Silverlake and World Villages requests, but did not feel that mixed use district was the appropriate vehicle. There was general consensus among the members that Planned Development overlays would be the most likely method in which to accommodate these types of special projects in the future. DISCUSSION OF THE REMAINING TRACTS OF UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY Next for the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider was the discussion of the remaining tracts of undeveloped property with the city limits. 101409WK 2 P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2009 Staff presented two maps noting the large undeveloped tracts of land. In the northern portion of the City most of the undeveloped area is centered near/around the Grapevine Mills Mall area and the Gaylord hotel. In the southern portion of the City there are three general areas open for development near Delaney Vineyard, Pavestone, and along State Highway 360. A significant amount of property is available for development along State Highway 360, however this property is compromised by issues relative to access, topography/drainage, and proximity to the D/FW International Airport.
