MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 18, 2022

PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE:
The subject property is addressed at 3509 North
Grapevine Mills Boulevard and is platted as Block 1,
Lot 1, Standrock Addition. This property contains
33.4 acres and has approximately 1,820 feet of

limited to a hotel and water park with on-premise alcohol beverage sales (beer, wine, and
mixed beverages), skill and coin operated machines in excess of eight machines, building
height in excess of 50 feet, and three pylon-type signs.
On December 18, 2018, the City Council approved an entertainment and attractions
overlay (EA18-01, Ord. 2018-089) for Stand Rock Resort and Water Park at 3509 North
Grapevine Mills Boulevard. Since its approval, no progress was made towards completion
of the required development applications and permits and the approval expired on
December 18, 2019. This new entertainment and attractions overlay request includes the
same site plan, landscape plan, floorplans, building elevations, signage, and outdoor
illumination exhibits as was approved with EA18-01, Ord. 2018-089.
City Council approved an ordinance creating the entertainment and attractions overlay,
EA22-01.4 2
Section 41A of the Zoning Ordinance, in April, 2013 that defined the concept of an
“attraction” (generally defined as a place of interest where individuals or groups of
persons visit for its entertainment, inherent or exhibited cultural value, historical
significance, natural or build beauty or amusement opportunity) along with the ability to
grant special consideration relative to:
Building setbacks, building area, open space, density, buffer area and landscaping
requirements;
Reduction in or elimination of minimum district size requirements;
Increased building/structure height;
Signage—particularly increased height, area, changeable sign copy and
identification highway signage;
Parking;
Uses, in particular consideration given to “boutique hotels with a room count below
300 rooms”; and
Masonry requirements.
With this request the applicant intends to utilize the entertainment and attractions overlay
to develop a hotel and water park on a 33-acre tract of land at the northeast corner of
Kubota Drive and Grapevine Mills Boulevard North. The hotel portion of the project will
consist of 495 rooms and the timeshare portion will consist 166 units. Maximum height
for this multi-level structure will be twelve stories (approximately 156 feet). Relative to the
hotel rooms, sizes vary from a minimum of 420 square feet to a maximum of 1,550 square
feet Timeshare units’ range in size from 416 square feet for a studio unit to 2,143 square
feet for a four-bedroom unit.
Along with 24,350 square feet of meeting space, the hotel and water park will devote
nearly 66,000 square feet to family entertainment including over 100 skill/coin-operated
games. The indoor portion of the water park comprises approximately 95,000 square feet
along with 104,000 square feet outdoors. A buffet, restaurant, kitchen and other
food/beverage service operations throughout the property total 27,660 square feet
Required parking for the hotel and water park and conference center space with the
original request in 2018 was 1,090 spaces; the applicant has provided 1,152 spaces. With
a recent amendment to Section 56, Off-Street Parking Requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance on September 20, 2022, the parking requirements for hotels and motels were
amended and currently 827 spaces are required and 1,152 parking spaces are provided,
the same number provided with EA18-01.
The subject site has frontage on Kubota Drive, Grapevine Mills Boulevard North and the
State Highway 121 southbound service road. Primary access is proposed to the site from
Kubota Drive; a secondary access point is provided from an existing drive along
Grapevine Mills Boulevard.
On-premise signage will consist of a 75-foot pylon sign along the State Highway 121
North frontage with approximately 240 square feet of fixed copy along with a 578 square
foot digital message board. At the Kubota Drive/Grapevine Mills Boulevard North
EA22-01.4 3
intersection a hybrid sign 30 feet at its tallest point will contain fixed copy along with an
approximate 112 square foot digital message board on the lower portion of the sign. A
third sign, 14 feet in height with approximately 80 square feet of fixed copy is proposed
at the main entrance to the site at Kubota Drive.
