021500 5
P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
February 15, 2000
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council were
the following proposed amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Appendix D,
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73:
Section 47, Site Plan Review—The Planning Division of the Department of Development
Services currently assesses a fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00) plus twenty-five dollars
($25.00) per acre for every additional acre or part thereof, for all zone change, conditional
use, and special use requests. 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.

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

TREE REMOVAL TR99-02 — GENESIS REAL ESTATE GROUP
Next for the Commission to consider was Tree Removal application TR99-02 submitted by
the Genesis Real Estate Group for property located at 2000 Enchanted Way. The applicant
has submitted a new Tree Replacement Plan that provides for the planting of trees in the
rights -of way along Bass Pro Drive, Enchanted Way, and Genesis Way. This accounts for

The trees and drip irrigation along the northern right-of-way of Bass Pro Drive and the
Enchanted Way right -of way will be planted in March of 2000. The remainder of the trees
along Genesis Way and the Enchanted Way extension will be planted when all
improvements are completed. The funds required for the completion of this project will be
placed in an escrow account to ensure the money will be available for the completion of the
project.
The applicant also proposes to dedicate the right-of-way for Genesis Way and to require the
remaining 1624 inches to be planted on the subject property through deed restrictions and
covenants. The trees to be replaced will be proportionally distributed across the remaining

AMENDMENTS - AM00-03— SECTION 53 LANDSCAPING AND SECTION 56 PARKING
Next for the Commission to consider were the proposed changes to the Amendments —
Seciton 53 - Landscaping and Section 56 — Parking Regulations.
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. Mr. Stone has
withdrawn his request for an amendment to Section 53, Landscaping relative to landscaping
islands in the parking areas.
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

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. He is requesting that the Planning
and Zoning Commission authorize staff to draft changes to Section 56 such that a
mechanism can be provided for the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
to consider reduction in the minimum parking requirements associated with this apartment
project.
In the Commissioner's deliberation session, Chris Coy, with a second by Stephen Newby,
