JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS
ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z05-01 AND CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU05-06 —
WRIGHT DEVELOPMENT
First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Zone Change Request Z05-01 and Conditional Use Request CU05-06 submitted by Joe
Wright for property located at 601 West Wall Street and proposed to be platted as Lot 1,
031505
P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
MARCH 15, 2005
Block 1, Wright Addition. The applicant was requesting to rezone 0.249 acres from "CN"
Neighborhood Commercial District to "LI" Light Industrial District. The applicant was also
requesting a conditional use permit to allow for outside storage.
The subject property is the home of Wright Construction, which has been used for industrial
purposes. Prior to the 1930's, this property was used for a cotton gin and feed mill operation
and later a sawmill was added to the site. In 1963, the current construction operations
began at the site.
Joe Wright, the owner and applicant, was available to answer questions and request
favorable consideration of the request.
With no additional speakers, no letters of protest and no petitions, the public hearing was
closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the rezoning of
the 0.249 -acre site. Commissioner St. John stated concern with outside storage on the
parcel of land to be rezoned. It was also noted the subject property is situated adjacent to a
residence, both of which properties are accessed solely by a private driveway. Mr. Wright
stated the fence would be built such that the driveway would remain useable. Mr. Fry
objected to the use of outside storage on a parcel of land adjacent to housing. Mr. Oliver
questioned if the parcel would be screened and Mr. Wright answered that the request
included a six-foot and eight -foot composite fence.
Herb Fry made a motion, with a second by Chris Coy, to deny Zone Change Request Z05-
01, and the motion failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Fry, Coy and St. John
Nays: Wilson and Lowery
Abstain: Oliver
Discussion continued with Mr. Wright stating that the subject property was zoned "CN" and
useless with that commercial zoning designation. Mr. Coy noted that an alternative to
approving the zone change would be to approve the request with a limitation of storage
height not to exceed 8 -feet. Mr. Wright stated the height limit would be acceptable on the lot
in question only.
Mark Lowery made a motion, with a second by Becky St. John, to approve Zone Change
Z05-01, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery
Nays: Fry
Abstain: Oliver

PUBLIC IiEARInG
MARCH 15,2005
Next, the Commission considered the Conditional Use Request for outside storage.
Discussion followed and Mr. Coy questioned if an easement existed on the property and Mr.
Wright stated that he believed there was an easement of approximately 20 feet. Mr. Oliver
noted that an easement was not an issue of concern in considering the Conditional Use
Request. Chris Coy moved, with a second by Becky St. John, to approve Conditional Use
Request CU05-06 on the first reading, with the stipulation that the zone change property
(described as Tract 13C, Block 13, City of Grapevine), require an 8 -foot fence on the north,
south and east boundaries, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes:
Fry, Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery
Nays:
None
Abstain:
Oliver
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU05-08 — CHUCK -E -CHEESE
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
CU05-08 submitted by Alice Winters for property located at 2755 East Grapevine Mills
Circle and platted as Lot 5, Block 2, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase I. The applicant was
requesting to allow for the possession, storage, retail sale and on -premise consumption of
alcoholic beverages (beer and wine only) in conjunction with an existing restaurant.
The original conditional use permit (CU01-51) was approved by Council for the Chuck -E -
Cheese restaurant at their October 16, 2001 meeting, which allowed for an 11,949 square
foot pizza -oriented restaurant in the out -parcel area of the Grapevine Mills mall. A special
use permit was also approved at that time on the subject property (SU01-07) which allowed
for the use of approximately 65 video/skill games of a non-violent nature geared towards
families and children of all ages. With this request, the applicant intended to provide
alcoholic beverages available for sale for the adult patrons of the restaurant.
Alice Winters, representing CEC Entertainment, was present to answer questions and
request favorable consideration of the request.
With no further questions, no speakers, no letters and no petitions, the public hearing was
closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, B J Wilson moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to
approve Conditional Use Request CU05-08, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery
Nays: None

P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
MARCH 15, 2005
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU05-09 — GRAPEVINE MILLS MALL
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Conditional Use Request CU05-09 submitted by Michael Murray for property located at
3000 Grapevine Mills Mall and platted as Lot 1 R1, Block 1, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase
1. The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU03-43
(Ord. 03-79) for a planned commercial center in excess of 1,000,000 square feet of gross
leasable space, specifically to allow for an approximate 8,000 square foot expansion.
The applicant intended to expand the confines of the mall approximately 8,000 square feet
for additional retail space in an area just to the south and immediately adjacent to the
"Tornado" entrance to the mall. The subject location was previously shown as an expansion
area for a restaurant user when the mall was first developed but that project never moved
beyond the planning stages.
Hoyt Hammer, representing the applicant, was present to answer questions and request
favorable consideration of the request.
With no additional speakers, no letters and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Herb Fry moved, with a second by Becky St.
John, to approve Conditional Use Request CU05-09. The motion prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery
Nays: None
SPECIAL USE REQUEST SU05-02 — VERIZON WIRELESS
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Special Use Request SU05-02 submitted by J. Christopher Fuller for property located at
1502 Thatcher Trail and platted as Lot 9A, Block 1, Thatcher Woods Addition. The applicant
was requesting a special use permit to allow a cellular antenna array to collocate on an
existing TXU tower.
The subject property, zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District, has a 60 -foot utility easement
that runs nearly through the center of the property from east to west. A transmission tower
90 -feet in height is located at the approximate midpoint of the property and it is the
applicant's intent to collocate an antenna array from Verizon Wireless at the 87 -foot point on
the tower. A 15 -foot by 20 -foot equipment/lease area was proposed near the northeast
corner of the lot approximately 15 -feet east of a future garage.
Brock Bailey, representing Bracewell and Patterson, was present to answer questions and
request favorable consideration of the request.

In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the request. Mr.
Lowery, Mr. Oliver and Mr. Coy agreed that although they approved of the rendition of the
proposal there would be no assurances that the "as -built" would be comparable to the
renditions. Mr. Oliver noted that since Mr. Thatcher was not available to answer questions,
the applicant's representative might wish to table the request until the following meeting.
Chris Coy moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to deny Special Use Request SU05-02. The
motion failed by the following vote:
