The Planning and Zoning Commission has refined a request to amend the City of Grapevine’s

subcommittee meetings held in August, September, and October of this year. A summary of
proposed amendments is provided below while the existing language and proposed draft
revisions to Subsection E., Future Land Use, of Section IV., Land Use of the Comprehensive

Residential Suburban Density (RS) and Residential Medium Density (RM) within the future
land use (FLU) classification table (Subsection E., Future Land Use, of Section IV., Land
Use of the Comprehensive Master Plan) and reallocate residential zoning districts based
on density.
• Residential Suburban Density (RS) would include the following zoning districts:
o “R-5.0”, Zero Lot Line District,
o “R-3.5”, Two-Family District,

2. Divide the Commercial (CO) designation into two designations, Medium Intensity
Commercial (MC) and High-Intensity Commercial (HC) within the FLU classification table.
This division intends to create a buffer zone between residential and higher-intensity
commercial uses and to reallocate commercial districts based on lot size.
• Low-Intensity Commercial (LC) would continue to include the following zoning districts:
o “LB”, Limited Business District,
o “CN”, Neighborhood Commercial District, and
o “PO”, Professional Office District.
• Medium Intensity Commercial (MC) would include the following zoning districts:
o “CC”, Community Commercial District,
o “GV”, Grapevine Vintage District, and
o “BP”, Business Park District.
• High-Intensity Commercial (HC) would include the following zoning district:
o “HC”, Highway Commercial District,
o “PCD”, Planned Commerce Development District,
o “HCO”, Hotel Corporate Office District, and
o “RA”, Recreation/Amusement District.
3. Eliminate the Industrial/ Commercial (IC) FLU designation as various zoning districts with
various intensities are grouped within this designation.
4. Eliminate the Flood Plain designation.
5. Eliminate the Recreational/Amusements (RA) FLU designation. Relocate the
Recreational/Amusement zoning district from the Recreational/Amusements (RA)
designation and Governmental Use (GU) FLU designations to the newly created High-
Density Commercial (HC) FLU designation.
The Commission’s direction to staff is to proceed with a request to call a public hearing to amend
the City of Grapevine’s Comprehensive Master Plan, Subsection E., Future Land Use, of Section
IV., Land Use, as follows:
• Evaluation and creation of new residential and commercial categories, their
descriptions, and locational criteria;
• Creation of criteria for approval for Map 2: Land Use Plan amendments; and
• Evaluate the appropriateness of and relocate multiple zoning districts, commercial
and residential, to existing or newly created future land use designations.
Additionally, the Commission would like to address the re-designation of parts of East Wall Street
and South Church Street to the Residential Low Density (RL) designation.
