The addition contains approximately 17.02 acres and has 680 feet of frontage along Westport Parkway. t1 i' • . . •T8__0__ The applicant is requesting a planned development overlay to allow parking within the front yard landscape setback. The applicant intends to place 40 off-street parking spaces within the front yard setback along Westport Parkway. A 17 -foot landscaped buffer will be provided along Westport Parkway rather than the 25 foot setback that is required. Landscaping will be provided at the eastern and western ends of the parking area along Westport Parkway to screen the parking from view. With the addition of the parking in the front yard setback area, overall landscaped open space provided will be 12.5% of the total site rather than the 15% required. The additional parking is necessary to accommodate employees of the facility. See the attached letter. OAZCUTD05-05.4 I November 10, 2005 (10:37AM) PRESENT ZONING AND USE: The property is currently zoned "LI" Light Industrial District and is utilized as a warehouse and distribution facility for Gamestop, Inc. The subject and surrounding property was zoned "CC" Community Commercial District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning. Once a portion of the A.C. Stone tract, the property was a part of the City of Grapevine's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). When the propertywas re - annexed in November of 1993, it received the zoning designation "R-20" Single Family District—the standard zoning designation given to all tracts immediately after annexation. At the November 19, 1996 joint public hearing, Council approved Z96-22 (Ord. 96-91) which essentially rezoned the subject and surrounding area from "R-20" Single Family District to "LI" Light Industrial District. CU98-05 was approved at the March 23, 1998 joint public hearing which allowed outside storage for a moving business (Able Machinery Movers). Z98-17 was approved at the July 21, 1998 and allowed for the rezoning of a 2.106 acre tract from "R-20" Single Family District to "LI" Light Industrial District. CU98-05 (Ord. 98-38) was approved by Council March 23, 1998 which allowed outside storage in conjunction with a 58,775 square foot office/warehouse facility. CU98-36 (Ord. 98-102) was approved by Council August 18, 1998 which allowed a 112,300 square foot warehouse that is engaged in freight forwarding uses. Conditional Use Permit CU99-66 (Ord. 99-167) was approved at the November 16, 1999 joint public hearing which allowed for off -premise alcohol beverage sales (beer and wine only) and prepared food delivery in conjunction with and internet-sales only grocery warehouse. C000-06 was approved at the February 15, 2000 meeting and allowed for minor site modifications which included a slight increase in the amount of office space (1,400 square feet) and an increase in the total building square footage (18,555 square feet). The applicant made another set of modifications to the site layout (C000-35) which included the addition of 35 parking spaces, an increase from 7,500 to 9,120 square feet in the mezzanine area and a slight increase in the amount of landscaping provided—these modifications were considered and approved by the Site Plan Review Committee at their June 21, 2000 meeting. At the December 19, 2000 meeting, a request was made to eliminate the screening walls (C000- 48) that were previously approved on the site to screen the truck court from Westport Parkway in conjunction with the internet-based grocery store called Web Van. The applicant had previously appealed to the Site Plan Review Committee to remove the screening walls. The Committee declined to approve the request and it was then forwarded to the Council. The request was denied by the City Council.

In Zone B, the following uses may be considered only if sound treatment is included in building design: multi family apartments, motels, office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, personal and business services. Single family residential and sound sensitive uses such as schools and churches should avoid this zone. The applicant's proposal is an appropriate use in this noise zone. MASTER PLAN APPLICATION: The Master Plan designates the subject property as an Industrial/Commercial land use. This applicant's request is in compliance with the Master Plan. THOROUGHFARE PLAN APPLICATION: The Thoroughfare Plan designates Westport Parkway as a Type E Collector with a minimum 75 -foot right-of-way developed as four lanes.

Main Street Grapevine, TX 76051 Dear Council and Commission Members, ppos-os As you may know, GameStop is a video game retailer which has housed our headquarters and distribution center here in Grapevine for over nine years. During that time we have experienced tremendous growth, as our store count has grown from 480 to over 2,000 and our employee base here in Grapevine has grown from 250 to over 850. We recently relocated our headquarters and distribution from a 250,000 square foot leased facility on William D. Tate Avenue to our new 460,000 square foot facility at 625 Westport Parkway. We purchased our new facility in March 2004 as a shell and worked for over a year adding office space for our headquarters and preparing the distribution center. The purpose of this letter is to request a variance in order to expand the parking area in front of our building on Westport Parkway. We have just completed a merger with Electronics Boutique, a video game retailer based near Philadelphia, PA. With the merger, we now have over 4,300 stores and expect to increase our employee base here in Grapevine to over 1,000. We are requesting this variance in order to add parking to support the jobs we will be adding here in Grapevine as we relocate the Electronics Boutique corporate offices. As part of the parking improvements, we intend to exceed the landscaping standards the city has set forth by adding larger trees, adding hedges designed to create a visual barrier from the street and enhancing the landscaping at the driveway entrances to the facility. Attached are drawings reflecting the requested parking improvements and a landscape plan designed to improve the overall appearance of the landscaping as seen from Westport Parkway. We appreciate the relationship we have had with the City of Grapevine through the years and as we completed our new facility and we look forward to working with the city staff to facilitate the requested improvements. Please let me know if there is any way GameStop or I can assist you with your evaluation process. Sincerely, Chief Executive Officer 625 Westport Parkway ♦ Grapevine, TX 76051 ♦ 817-424-2000 ♦ 817-424 2820
