P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
JULY 20, 2004
ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z03-07 — LAMB'S WAREHOUSE
First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Zone Change Request Z03-07 submitted by Mark Lamb and located at 2345 Grayson Drive,
Abstract 1490, Tract 1. The applicant was requesting to rezone 2.00 acres from "CC"
Community Commercial District to "Ll" Light Industrial District for a proposed warehouse
facility.
Ron Hamm, representing Speed Fab Crete, and Mark Lamb, the owner, were available to
answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request.
With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Paul
Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z03-07, and the motion prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings
Nays: None
ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-04 — JAMES GREEN FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Zone Change Request Z04-04 submitted by the Michael Coker Company for property
located at 107 West Dallas Road, Abstract 422, Tracts 21 and 21 B. The applicant was
requesting to rezone 0.57 acres from "PO" Professional Office District to "CBD" Central
Business District for a proposed office/retail development.
Andrew Seal, representing the applicant, was present to answer questions and request
favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Seal stated it was the applicant's intent to build a
two story building with retail on the first floor and office space on the second floor. He noted
the owners and developers believed the zoning to be a good transitional usage with "CBD"
Central Business District to the north and "PO" Professional Office District to the south.
Questions and discussion followed regarding the difficulty to approve the project with only
the required concept plan. Council members stated the necessity to see further
development details to approve such plans.
Mr. Hardy noted it would be possible to request voluntary deed restrictions from the owners
and developers of the property associated with the zone change request.
With no further guests to speak, one letter of approval, and no petitions, the public hearing
was closed.

P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
JULY 20, 2004
In the Commission's deliberation session, Larry Oliver stated that this was an unusual case
and previously the "CBD" zoning had been confined to the properties north of Dallas Road.
Mr. Oliver added that while the proposal could be a desirable usage, the concept plan
presented was too speculative in nature. Mr. Fry stated concern with the right-of-way issues
associated with Texas Department of Transportation in regards to maintenance of such
property. It was noted that abandoning easements can be a costly and lengthy procedure
and during the process property owners adjoining similar right-of-ways have historically
maintained those areas.
Chris Coy moved, with a second by Paul Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z04-
04 with the conditional that voluntary deed restrictions be in place to require any future
development to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation
Committee and be brought before City Council for final approval, with all reviews to meet
double frontage requirements.
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings
Nays: None
ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-05 — RICKEY MCPHERSON
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to City Council was Z04-
05 submitted by Rickey McPherson for property located at 3132 West Dove Road and
proposed to be platted as Lots 1-8, Block 1, Castle Court. The applicant was requesting to
rezone 1.47 acres from "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District to "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line
District for a proposed eight lot single family development.
Rickey McPherson, the applicant and owner, was present to answer questions and request
favorable consideration of the request.
With no further guests to speak, one letter of protest, and no petitions, the public hearing
was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the proposed
zone change. Mr. Fry discussed the differences in setbacks comparing "R-7.5" Single
Family District and the proposed "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District. Mr. Stombaugh noted that in
this case there was only one area regulation difference, that being 65 feet width of lot as
opposed to 50 feet width of lot in the Zero Lot Line District. Mr. Undersander discussed the
possibility of fewer homes and Mr. Stombaugh stated that with the "R-7.5" Single Family
District, it would possible to fit only five homes onto the proposed Court.
Paul Jennings moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve Zone Change Request
Z04-05, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Murray, St. John and Jennings

ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z04-07 — MADISON COURT
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Zone Change Request Z04-07 submitted by the City of Grapevine for property located at
Midway Drive and Laguna Vista Court, platted as Lots 1 -11, Block 1, Madison Court. The
applicant was requesting to rezone 2.92 acres from "R-2.0" Single Family District to "R-7.5"
Single Family District for a proposed eleven lot single family development.
This was a City initiated rezoning. A discrepancy between the Official Zoning Map and the
currently developing GIS -based zoning map reveals an error was made when the final plat
was approved July 15, 2003. The final plat was approved with lots developed under the "R-
7.5" Single Family District guidelines when in fact the property was zoned "R-20" Single
Family District. This rezoning would be consistent with the zoning/development that has
taken place in the general vicinity, most recently to the immediate south.
With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Paul
Jennings, to approve Zone Change Request Z04-07, and the motion prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Murray, Undersander, St. John and Jennings
Nays: None

Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Conditional Use Request CU04-20 submitted by Dave Davenport for property located near
the southeast corner of Ponderosa Drive and Ira E. Woods Avenue and proposed to be
platted as Lot 2R2, W. R. Lawler Addition No. 1. The applicant was requesting a conditional
use permit to allow for automotive repair. The applicant was also requesting the Statement
of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lots 2R1 and 2R2, W. R. Lawler Addition No. 1.
The property is zoned "CC" Community Commercial District and is owned by Heritage
Grapevine Partners, Inc.
It was announced that the applicant requested withdrawal of both applications.
Herb Fry moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to approve withdrawal of Conditional Use
Request CU04-20 and withdrawal of the Statement of Findings and Final Plat

Council was Conditional Use Request CU04-22 submitted by Ken Schnitzer and located at

was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU99-33 (Ord. 99-98) for an
automotive dealership with the sales and service of new and used vehicles, specifically to
expand the sales and service areas.
The applicant proposed a two-phase expansion to the sales and service area of the existing
dealership. The first phase would be a 2,567 square foot expansion of the sales area and a
12,296 square foot expansion to the service area. The second phase would be a 12,147
