For permitted uses in each zoning district, an administrative site plan is required, which is reviewed and approved by the Planning staff; no fee is assessed at this time for an administrative site plan review. While property owner notification and newspaper advertising is not required for development requests associated with permitted uses, Staff provides the same level of service and detailed level of scrutiny to these types of administrative requests as is given to zone change, conditional use, and special use requests. A small survey of area Metroplex cities reveals that the City of Grapevine is the only city that does not assess a fee for this type of development review. Staff recommends the establishment of a fee for administrative site plan review that is one- half that which is established for zone change, conditional use, and special use requests. Section 48, Conditional Uses—Currently, any modification to a site plan associated with a previously approved conditional use permit, no matter how minor, must return to the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council for consideration. In an effort to reduce the size of the public hearing agenda, staff recommends the creation of a Site Plan Review Committee that will review and approve minor modifications to previously approved conditional use permits. Conditional Use Permit applications will be submitted in their usual manner, with the Director of Development Services determining which requests should be considered by the review committee. For those Conditional Use Permit applications the Site Plan Review Committee approves administratively, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended at their January 6, 2000 workshop, the retention of the full application fee by the City. Section 49, Special Uses—Councilmember Darlene Freed, at a September 9, 1999 worksession recommended the creation of a method for considering certain communication uses as permitted uses, eliminating the need to conduct a public hearing on the communication request if the applicant could meet a certain set of criteria established for such situations. Staff recommends that if the communication use is located on an existing - structure with all associated cabinetry/equipment located underground or within an existing structure, the use will be considered a permitted use to be reviewed and approved by the Planning staff under the authority of the Director of Development Services. The Planning and Zoning Commission at their January 6, 2000 worksession recommended that a provision be added to also allow reconstruction of a tower or monopole, with no increase in height, in situations where the addition of an antenna array would require strengthening or a complete rebuild to support the additional equipment. 021500 6 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING February 15, 2000 As is the case with conditional use permit requests, any modification to a site plan associated with a previously approved special use permit, no matter how minor, must also return to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council for consideration. Staff is recommending the same type of administrative oversight by the Site Plan Review Committee for minor changes to site plans associated with previously approved special use permits. Section 50, Screening—At the Planning and Zoning Commission's First Tri -Annual Workshop which occurred January 6, 2000 the Commission discussed the lack of viability for screening alternatives B, C. and F. Alternative B is a 6 -foot landscape screening alternative that is rarely used but when applied usually fails to attain the thickness and height necessary to provide adequate screening. Alternative C provides for a 6 -foot masonry screening wall with evergreen trees. The Commission felt Alternative C was redundant since the only difference between screening Alternatives A and C is evergreen trees—both require 6 -foot masonry screening walls. Alternative F consists of a 6 -foot chain link fence with redwood screening slats. It is generally recognized that this alternative does not provide total screening since it is easily possible to see between the screening slats. Staff has eliminated these three options leaving three remaining screening alternatives; a 6 - foot masonry or concrete wall, a 6 -foot landscaped earthen berm, and a 6 -foot solid wood fence. Section 52, Tree Preservation—Recently, the Development Services staff was involved in a situation where a protected tree, which was diseased and in danger of falling, was removed without notification to the Building Department. Section 52, as written, is somewhat vague on the area of notification to city staff if a building permit is not required, therefore staff recommends amending paragraph 52.H Protected Tree Removal to require any tree removal related to diseased, or injured trees to have the approval of the Director of Development Services as well as an inspection by the Building Department prior to the removal of any tree(s). Section 58, Parking, Loading, and Outside Storage Area Development Standards— The Pool Road/State Highway 26 Albertson's Grocery store project that was denied by Council on August 3, 1999 raised a number of issues not addressed in the zoning ordinance as it is currently written. One issue was related to the placement of off-street parking on platted lots comprised of multiple zoning districts. The applicant for the Pool Road/State Highway 26 project proposed the placement of off-street parking for the grocery store on a portion of the lot that had a less restrictive zoning designation. This was met with a great deal of resistance. In an effort to eliminate this situation from occurring again, staff recommends the modification of Section 58, such that no off-street parking for a principal use can be located upon property that is of a less restrictive zoning than that of the principal use. In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Kathy Martinez, to approve AM00-01 – Section 47 Site Plan Review; Section 48 Conditional Uses; 021500 7 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING February 15, 2000 Section 49 Special Uses; Section 50 Screening; Section 52 Tree Preservation; and Section 58 Parking; which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Fry, Coy, Martinez, and Newby Nays: Busbee, Murray, and Nicholson, FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1 BLOCK 1 SHIRLEY ADDITION Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the Statement of Findings and Final Plat of Lot 1, Block 1, Shirley Addition.

Mr. Stone has revised his previous request and is asking specifically for an amendment to Section 56, Parking Regulations as they apply to apartment complexes.

Conditional Use Permit request CU98-15 (Ord. 98-55) for a 392 -unit apartment complex located generally north and east of the intersection of Grapevine Mills Circle and Grapevine Mills Boulevard North (Cross Creek at Grapevine Ranch) was approved May 5, 1998. A subsequent revision to place canopies in the parking area was considered and approved on December 7, 1999 (CU99-58; Ord. 99-173). During the building inspection process it was discovered that a number of landscape islands which were part of the approved landscape plan, were not provided on site. In addition, it was determined that not all of the required 030700 5 MARCH 7, 111 parking was provided for on site. The project superintendent believed that there was some "leeway" in these areas particularly when an effort was being made to save existing trees. Section 56, Parking Regulations requires that 2.5 parking spaces be provided for every apartment unit. With a unit count of 392 -units, this complex requires 980 -parking spaces. Parking provided on site at this time is 936 -parking spaces -44 spaces below the minimum required by ordinance. Mr. Stone provided a graphic showing the extent of the changes made to the parking area/landscaping islands and a parking study conducted by Kimley-Horn as it relates to parking for existing apartment complexes in Grapevine.
