The Historic Preservation Commission at their December 10, 2004 meeting adopted the preservation criteria for the Henry Hiram Yancy Farmhouse.

With no further guests to speak, one letter of approval, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Becky St. John moved, with a second by B J Wilson, to approve Historic Landmark Subdistrict Application HL04-03.

The applicant proposed a 3,868 square foot expansion to Plant No. 2 that would allow for colorizing of some of the product that Pavestone manufactures. Council approved an amendment to the site plan associated with the Pavestone property at their June 18, 2002 meeting (CU02-14) which included platting into the property an additional 5.63 acres for expansion of the outdoor storage area that would be utilized for storage of more product.

This was written into the ordinance prior to the development of the Grapevine Mills mall given the unique aspects of such a large-scale development. It was generally accepted that such a product would require additional consideration relative to density, height, landscaping and signage. The Embassy Suites Hotel, a Phase II extension of the mall project, exceeds the height requirement under this provision. Staff has fielded several requests from the development community relative to exceeding the maximum 50 - foot height requirement in the general area of the mall but no process exists at this time for 122104 4 12211M0 -9 == � �� 01 _01110i a OVA 1 0.19 MAMN11111 I those projects with the 50 -foot height restriction. In an effort to improve the development potential of property in the general vicinity of the Gaylord Hotel and Grapevine Mills mail Staff recommends amending the "CC" Community Commercial District guidelines to allow as a conditional use, the ability to exceed 50 -feet in height for property east and/or north of Ruth Wall Street and Business 114/East Northwest Highway. See the attached ordinance amendment. Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District relative to owner/caretaker residence: Staff has received a request on behalf of Mr. Atlee Kohl for consideration of an amendment to the "PO" Professional Office District that would allow for the establishment of an owner or caretaker residence within a professional office building. Mr. Kohl currently owns an office building in Las Colinas and is considering the purchase of a 3.5 -acre site near the intersection of State Highway 360 and Grapevine -Euless Road just north of the Southern Baptist Convention office building. It is Mr. Kohl's intention, if this ordinance amendment is approved, to reconsolidate his business office at this location in Grapevine, tentatively planned at 20,000 square feet with an approximate 5,000 square foot private residence contained within the building for his own use. Staff has prepared a draft amendment to the "PO" Professional Office District regulations that would allow as a conditional use, owner or caretaker residential facilities having accommodations for and occupied by only one family within a single professional office building. Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District; Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District; Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District; Section 32, Business Park District; and Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District relative to strengthening the requirements for the establishment of new hotels/motels: Due to the increased need for hotel rooms in the immediate area brought about by the Gaylord Texan hotel and convention center and to ensure quality full service hotel development in the City, Staff is recommending strengthening the hotel/motel development criteria to include requiring a minimum room count of 300 rooms and also requiring a minimum of 10,000 square feet of meeting space. In April 2000 Council approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance that established criteria which curtailed the development of limited -service hotels within the City. These additional criteria will further guarantee any new hotel development within the City will be complementary to the standards established by the Gaylord Texan, Embassy Suites, and Hilton, while providing the additional room space necessary to meet current and future demands. The amendments include establishing a date of January 18, 2005 whereby all new hotel/motel development requests must meet the new criteria. This date was chosen because a request has been submitted for a new hotel (Marriott Residence Inn which will meet the older requirements but not the new proposed amendments) that will be heard at the January 18 public hearing. Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District has several sections relative to hotel development that Staff recommends eliminating since it is outdated and contradictory to the new criteria. Lastly, Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District 122104 5 ' •1 ' S bi affl Q kyj I is being amended to include the hotel design criteria without the minimum 300 room count requirement or the minimum 10,000 square foot meeting space requirement since hotels in a mixed use setting may be of a smaller, "boutique" style operation than one focused on the business traveler or convention attendee. With no letters, no speakers and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by B J Wilson, to approve the amendments to the Code of Ordinances, Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District; Section 26 "HC" Highway Commercial District; Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District; Section 29, "HCO" Hotel And Corporate Office District; Section 32, "BP" Business Park District And Section 40, "MXU" Mixed Use District. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St. John Nays: None END OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Next for the Commission to consider were the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes of the November 16, 2004 regular meeting. Danette Murray moved, with a second by Rob Undersander, to approve the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes of November 16, 2004. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St. John Nays: None With no further business to discuss, Herb Fry moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Wilson, Undersander and St. John Nays: None 122104 6 PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS ON THIS THE 18TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2005.
