Hello Lindsay.
I wanted to write in support of an upcoming project going before the City Council this month: The
Nash & Berr Townhomes Project.
As one of the first retail oriented business on Jean St, we’ve seen the are grow and change for the
better. A business such as ours relies on having a customer base that is close in proximity. It is what
has allowed us to build our business as a part of the community. We think that having more
residents within walking distance of our business and the rest of Main Street is crucial to the success
of our community. It is crucial to the development of the Transit Overlay District as well.
We are directly across the street from 3 public parking areas and probably 3 of the largest in the city
(you would know better than me!). I don’t see parking being an issue outside of the festival
weekends and Christmas event days, however that already is an issue and I don’t foresee these
residences adding to that issue.
Thank you for your time.

Good morning, Lindsay,
As a fellow resident of Grapevine, I wanted to advocate for the proposed project at Nash & Berry. In
short, the older homes look out of place with all the beauty of the Rec Center, Hotel Vin & the
buildings that have a Yoga studio, restaurants & brewery. This beautiful townhome project would be
a great addition to add to the city for older couples moving to the area to be closer to their
grandchildren.
My personal story:
My mother just moved to the area a few years back – she rented at the Resort 925 for many years
until she decided to invest – she bought a house near Vineyard campground with a yard which is a
lot of maintenance for single grandmother. A nice, new townhome would have been the perfect fit
for her.
My hope is that this build is approved so the City can continue to flourish with quality, aesthetically
pleasing homes as proposed.
If I can answer any questions/opinions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: APRIL 16, 2024
SUBJECT: PLANNING SERVICES TECHNICAL REPORT OF TRANSIT
DISTRICT OVERLAY APPLICATION TDO24-01, NASH AND
BERRY TOWNHOMES
APPLICANT: Richard Giberson, Berry, Jean, &
Nash, LLC
PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE:
The subject property is primarily located at 931, 937,
and 943 Jean Street and 930 and 936 Berry Street
and proposed to be platted as Block 2-R, Lots 1-17
and 18X, Nash & Berry Addition. The property
contains 1.015 acres and has approximately 215
feet of frontage along Berry Street, 207 feet of
frontage along East Nash Street, and 210 feet of
frontage along Jean Street.
REQUESTED TRANSIT DISTRICT OVERLAY AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is seeking permission to develop 17 single-family attached townhomes and
one open space lot on a 1.015-acre area by requesting a Transit District Overlay. A
previous request for 19 single-family attached townhomes was denied by the City Council
on November 21, 2023. However, the applicant has modified the proposal by removing
two units and adding open space and off-street parking.
The Transit District Overlay is a hybrid form-based code, which differs from the base
zoning ordinance requirements in form and function as it focuses on regulating the
physical form and design of buildings and public spaces rather than residential density or
land uses. It governs features such as building height, setbacks, façade design, and street
widths to establish a cohesive urban environment.
A Euclidean zoning ordinance primarily regulates land use by separating different types
of land uses into distinct zones such as residential, commercial, and industrial. It controls
TDO24-01.4 2
elements like lot size, density, and allowable uses within each zone, but it doesn't provide
comprehensive guidelines for specific design elements like form-based codes.
A zoning overlay is a tool used to impose specific requirements or regulations on a
geographic area. It adds additional zoning regulations on top of the existing base zoning
regulations for that area or replaces them entirely without changing base zoning
regulations. Overlays are often used to address specific concerns or objectives such as
preserving historic districts, promoting sustainable development, enhancing design
standards, or protecting environmentally sensitive areas.
In February 2019, the City Council approved and adopted an amendment to the zoning
ordinance relative to the Dallas Road transit corridor, specifically, Section 41B, Transit
District Overlay. The goal was to define an area in which the newly developed ordinance
would most appropriately be focused and develop guidelines to capture the unique
opportunities presented by the rail station such as creating a walkable environment,
encouraging a mixture of uses befitting the transit corridor, allowing for higher density
owner-occupied residential products, and establishing architectural guidelines suitable for
transit-oriented development.
With this request, the applicant intends to demolish four existing residential structures
located along Jean Street, East Nash Street, and Berry Street. The intent is to develop
17 single-family attached townhomes on 1.015 acres, with 16.7 dwelling units per acre.
Townhomes are identified as an appropriate use within the High-Intensity Sub-District per
Section 41B, Figure 3: Preferred Use Matrix of the Zoning Ordinance where the subject
site is located.
The 17 units will be in four structures including four units fronting East Nash Street, four
fronting Berry Street, five fronting Jean Street, and four fronting the adjacent multifamily
development to the north. All units will be on fee simple lots except for the open space
lot, which will be managed by the Homeowners Association. Each unit will be four stories
in height and will range from 3,181 square feet to 5,145 square feet of living space,
including the garage on the ground floor and a fourth-floor attic. The townhomes will
feature up to five bedrooms and four and a half baths, and each unit will have its private
two-car garage. Tandem parking spaces are configured for some units. The development
of 17 townhomes will include a total of 61 parking spaces located within garages, in
designated driveways, and off-street within the site. An internal courtyard accessible from
Jean Street is proposed to accommodate pedestrian activity throughout the development.
The internal shared access easement allows for vehicular circulation, including individual
solid waste and recycling pick-up.
The following conditions are unique features to achieve the intent of the ordinance to
create a more expansive public domain that can accommodate, nurture, and enhance
pedestrian activity:
1. An end of block condition at Nash Street,
2. The existing multi-family development to the North that enhances the streetscape
TDO24-01.4 3
design for one block of Jean Street and Berry Street, and
3. The Rec/ Park to the south.
The result of these unique conditions includes:
1. An invitation to the public space as the sidewalk gradually narrows on Nash Street
towards Jean Street,
2. Berry Street maintains the dimensions of the sidewalk that begins on the property
to the north and the outward facing garages to reduce the pressure from interior
spaces which is now intended for pedestrian circulation, and
3. The sidewalk and street planting space on Jean Street that matches the block to
the north allowing the creation of a more generous internal space for pedestrians
to gather.
An affidavit of compliance signed by the project architect has been attached to this
agenda memorandum. It confirms that the project adheres to the Transit District Overlay
design standards. Furthermore, the architect has provided documentation that
demonstrates compliance with the Transit District Overlay design standards. The
applicant has also submitted graphic exhibits that illustrate compliance with specific
elements of the required overlay design standards.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The site is presently zoned “LI”, Light Industrial District and is located within the Transit
District Overlay. There are five non-conforming separate residential lots, four of which
have residential structures on them, and one lot remains vacant.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property was zoned “B”, Dwelling District prior to the adoption of the city’s
