MEMO TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: H. T. HARDY, DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES riO)4)
RON STOMBAUGH, PLANNER II
MEETING DATE: MAY 18, 2004
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 32, "BP" BUSINESS PARK
DISTRICT RELATIVE TO INDOOR COMMERCIAL
AMUSEMENT AS A CONDITIONAL USE
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the request by Mr.
Rick Stacy to amend Section 32, "BP" Business Park District to allow indoor commercial
amusement as a conditional use, and take any necessary action.
0 NIMZU-IiiTal INC
'•
Staff has received a letter from Mr. Rick Stacy to amend Section 32, "BP" Business Park
District to allow a use that most closely fits into the category of "indoor commercial
amusement." The subject property owned by Mr. Stacy is currently zoned "BP"
Business Park District which was previously zoned "CC" Community Commercial District
prior to a rezoning which occurred in June, 2001 to accommodate a retail/warehouse
project currently under construction.
Section 12, Definitions, defines a commercial amusement as "an amusement enterprise
offering entertainment or games of skill to the general public for a fee or charge." A
proposed tenant in a building under construction on the subject site called "Pump It Up"
closely fits into the category of indoor commercial amusement. See the attached
business summary and description for Pump It Up.
Given that the properties immediately adjacent to the north, east, and west of the
subject site are zoned "CC" Community Commercial District, which allows indoor
commercial amusements as a permitted use, allowing this use in the "BP Business Park
District as a conditional use permit will allow the Commission and the Council the control
necessary to determine whether any future requests of this type are appropriate given
the particular location of such request. Staff recommends the Commission authorize
Staff to set this item to a public hearing or take any other action deemed necessary.

RE: Mustang Business Paris — Zoning Amendment Request
Dear Ron:
Please accept this letter as a request for the city of Grapevine to consider amending the zonint9 for Mustang Business
Park. Due to an exciting tenant that I am considering for the building, I understand the tenant will need to submit a
Conditional Use Permit in order to lease space in my building. This request would be for this tenant only.
While unconventional and not allowed in the BWinoas Park Zoning for which my property was approved, Pump It
Ug fits in nicely with the other entertainment retail in the immediate area of my building. Further, the use will not
interfere with future tenants in the remaining space in the building nor will it interfere with the uses planned for the
rest of the property.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. It is n y understanding we are working towards a May 1$ Agenda Item
before the Planning & Zoning/City Council and therefore time is of the essence. Feel free to call me at 817.424-
8800 with any questions, comments or to discuss further. Otberwise, I look forward to working with you in assisting
Pump It Up with securing the Conditional Use Permit.

Business
Pump It Up Inflatable Party Zone is a safe and fun indoor children's activity center for private parties and special occasions
(primarily children' birthday parties). The activity center will house interactive inflatable attractions, i.e. bounce house, obstacle
course to be used by a private party of up to 25 children.
Key points to consider for zoning clarification:
■ We do not produce any food on the premises.
■ The pizza and soda are an optional added convenience, and our customers do not need to purchase it in order to have a party at
Pump It Up.
■ About 50% of our customers request soda and pizza for our functions.
■ If ordered, the pizza is delivered to our site by a local pizza vendor that we have on contract.
■ When classifying Pump It Up, we are normally compared to a gymnastics studio, ballet studio or karate facility, because we are
never open to the public and are only open by appointment.
Business Description - ra
Definition of terms:
Interactive Inflatable - industrial -grade vinyl and rubber structure inflated with forced air (not compressed air) provided
by a squirrel cage blower unit. The inflatables are similar to hot-air balloons, in that their construction prevents them
from "popping" or becoming excessively inflated. Passive, one-way exit air flaps open when a set inflation is reached
thereby maintaining the optimum level of inflation. Once the blower is turned off, the inflatables self -deflate completely
in less than 3 minutes. Fire resistance information is provided.
Blower Unit - A 2'x2'x2' metal box housing a 15 amp electric motor and a squirrel cage fan that forces air into the
Interactive Inflatable through a 10" diameter flexible duct.
Activity Area - the largest section of the facility that will house the inflatables and blowers.
Party Room - an area adjoining the Activity Area to be used by the party guests for refreshments and gifts.
Arena Supervisor - a staff member who remains on the floor of the Activity Area during a party to maintain safety and
assist guests.
Hours of Operation:
Each party will be required to secure advanced date reservations. At no time will the facility be open to the general
public on a drop-in basis. Reservations for parties will be accepted for dates Sunday thru Saturday, with the earliest party
beginning at 9:30 A.M. and the last party ending not later than 10:00 P.M. Each party will be limited to 2 hours total time
(up to 90 minutes in the Activity Centers and the balance in the Party Room). Please note that 90% of our parties are
held when the business park is closed.
Physical Set -Up:
Party guests will enter the facility at the front entrance of the building into the Lobby Area. From the Lobby Area, the
group will move to the Activity Areas. From the Activity Areas the group will move to the Party Room, then back to the
Lobby to exit the building.
Parking and Traffic:
At no time will Pump It Up be open to the public for drop-in visitors. There are currently parking spaces for
the building, , as well as handicapped parking. Including employees, there should not be more than cars at any
given time, as it has been our personal experience that a majority of parents drop off their invited children at parties, then
pick-up at the end.
Food and Drinks:
Pump It Up will not produce or prepare any food or meals whatsoever. Depending on city, county and state codes, we
will explore the possibility of having restaurant -prepared pizza delivered with canned or bottled sodas. Birthday
cakes and desserts, if any, must be provided by the party host. We will provide a refrigerator for the customer's use
during the party.
Environmental Concerns:
Hazardous Materials: There are no hazardous materials, emissions, runoff or waste associated with the use of inflatables.
Small quantities of janitorial supplies will be stored on site.
Noise: The 15 amp electric blowers, the high volume of moving air and excited children will combine to create noise levels.
With the huge Activity Area having tall ceilings, we do not anticipate these noise levels exceeding any health or zoning code. We
have experienced no complaints in the existing facilities.
Garbage: We estimate each party will generate not more than two 33 -gallon trash bags filled mostly with paper plates, cups and
food waste. We plan on leasing a dumpster from the local Garbage company, which will be placed in the area designated by the
business park.
Electrical/Water Consumption: No industrial -level equipment will be used in this business. Five 15 amp blowers will be in use
for the inflatables in addition to the listed office equipment, appliances and lighting. Water consumption will be limited to lavatory
and water fountain use only.
ModelThe Par-Ity
As guests arrive, they will be allowed to sit in the reception lobby until the balance of their group arrives. When the group has
assembled, they will be escorted by the Arena Supervisor into the Activity Area where they will see the interactive inflatables. The
Arena Supervisor will direct the group to a seating area where they can remove and store their shoes while listening to instructions,
general behavior and safety rules on DVD. At the completion of the talk, the group will be allowed to enter the Activity Areas and
enjoy the inflatables. The Arena Supervisor will remain on the floor to monitor the Activity Areas and render assistance where
needed. At no time will this area be unsupervised during a party.
After not more than 90 minutes, the Arena Supervisor will indicate time is up and to get shoes on to go to the Party Room for the
balance of the party. The Supervisor will escort the group to the Party Room and provide any assistance the party host requires, but
will then leave the room to ready for the next group, if any. Another staff member will then assist the party with further needs. After
a total of 2 hours, the host will be advised time is up and direct the group back to the lobby to wait for rides and parents.
At no time, may the party host leave before all party members have been picked up
Interactive Inflatables: are made of industrial -grade vinyl and rubber and are inflated with blown air (not compressed air) provided
by a squirrel cage blower unit. The blower unit must remain on as long as the inflatable is in use to provide a constant flow of air.
The inflatables are similar to hot-air balloons, in that their construction prevents them from "popping" or becoming excessively
inflated. Passive, one-way exit air flaps open when a set inflation is reached thereby maintaining the optimum level of inflation. Once
the blower is turned off, the inflatables self -deflate completely in less than 3 minutes.
Surfacing: any part of the Activity Area floor used for foot traffic will be covered with a padded, indoor/outdoor grade carpet
approved for this facility.
Electronic: a standard suite of office equipment such as PC's and peripheral equipment.
Appliances: a refrigerator for sodas and customer -supplied cakes brought in during the party.
Furniture: standard office furniture, lobby seating, conference tables and chairs in the Party Room.
Special/Unique Equipment: each inflatable requires a squirrel cage blower unit that is rated at 15 amps/110V-AC with a start-up
draw of 20 amps. These units are self-contained and UL -approved devices for both indoor and outdoor use.

H. T. HARDY, DIRECTOR DEVEL MENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JUNE 15, 2004
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS AM04-02—
AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 32, "BP" BUSINESS PARK
DISTRICT; SECTION 40, "MXU" MIXED USE DISTRICT; AND
SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council consider
the following amendments to Section 32, "BP" Business Park District; Section 40, "MXU"
Mixed Use District; and Section 60, Sign Standards, and take any other action
necessary.

Section 32, `BP" Business Park District
Staff has received a letter from Mr. Rick Stacy to amend Section 32, "BP" Business Park
District to allow a use that most closely fits into the category of "indoor commercial
amusement." The subject property owned by Mr. Stacy is currently zoned "BP"
Business Park District which was previously zoned "CC" Community Commercial District
prior to a rezoning which occurred in June, 2001 to accommodate a retail/warehouse
project currently under construction.
Section 12, Definitions, defines a commercial amusement as "an amusement enterprise
offering entertainment or games of skill to the general public for a fee or charge." A
proposed tenant in a building under construction on the subject site called "Pump It Up"
closely fits into the category of indoor commercial amusement. See the attached
business summary and description for Pump It Up.
Given that the properties immediately adjacent to the north, east, and west of the
subject site are zoned "CC" Community Commercial District, which allows indoor
commercial amusements as a permitted use, allowing this use in the "BP Business Park
District as a conditional use permit will allow the Commission and the Council the control
necessary to determine whether any future requests of this type are appropriate given
the particular location of such request.

Section 40 "MXU" Mixed Use District
The Mixed Use District guidelines were developed over a period of months with several
workshops with both the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission. When
approved in July, 2003 it was generally recognized that this was still a working document
that on occasion may need to be revised. Inadvertently a mistake was made relative to
establishing a density or Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for projects seeking this zoning
category. What was originally written in the ordinance was a maximum floor area ratio of
1.5. Given the minimum heights established for various uses within the district and
minimum lot sizes, this should have been expressed as a minimum floor area ratio rather
than a maximum.
Section 60, Sign Standards
Currently, any request for a pole sign requires a conditional use permit that must be
approved by the City Council. Any amendment or change to a previously approved
conditional use permit can only be considered and approved by the City Council or in
minor instances, the Site Plan Review Committee. In situations in which a business
owner desires to replace a pole sign approved though the conditional use process with a
monument sign or ground sign, a revision is required that can only be approved by the
City Council or the Site Plan Review Committee. In most circumstances, elimination of
existing pole signs should be encouraged however; the fee associated with a conditional
use permit may provide a disincentive to replace the sign. In addition the time delay from
application to approval can take up to seven weeks for conditional use requests that go
to the City Council. Staff recommends that in situations where a business owner wants
to replace an existing pole sign approved as part of a conditional use permit with a
monument sign, the Director of Development Services may administratively approve the
request. Naturally, the proposed monument sign will meet all requirements of the
ordinance.

RE: Mustang Busiam Park — Zoning Amendment Request
Dear Iron.:
Please accept this letter as a request for the city of Grapevine to consider amending the zoning for Mustang Bnsiness
Paris Due to an exciting tenant that I am considering for the building, I understand the tenant will need to submit a
Conditional Uso Permit in order to lease space in my building. This request would be for this tenant only.
While unconventional and not allowed in the Business Park Zonin$ for which my praperty was approved., Pump It
Up fits ia nicely with the other entertainment retail in the immediate area of my building. rurther, the use will not
interfere with future tenants in the remaining space in the building nor will it interfere with the uses planned for the
rest of the property.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. It is my understanding we arc working tawards a May 18 Agetxia Item
before the Planning & ZoninWCity Council and themfeae time is of the essence. Feel free to call me at 817.424-
8804 with any questions, comments or to discuss further.
Pump It Up with socuring the Conditional Use Permit.

*THE INFLATABLE PARTY ZONE
mpft
tsusiness Summar1l
Pump It Up Inflatable Party Zone is a safe and fun indoor children's activity center for private parties and special occasions
(primarily childrens' birthday parties). The activity center will house interactive inflatable attractions, i.e. bounce house, obstacle
course to be used by a private party of up to 25 children.
Key points to consider for zoning clarification:
■ We do not produce any food on the premises.
® The pizza and soda are an optional added convenience, and our customers do not need to purchase it in order to have a party at
Pump It Up.
■ About 50% of our customers request soda and pizza for our functions.
■ If ordered, the pizza is delivered to our site by a local pizza vendor that we have on contract.
■ When classifying Pump It Up, we are normally compared to a gymnastics studio, ballet studio or karate facility, because we are
never open to the public and are only open by appointment.
Definition of terms:
Interactive Inflatable - industrial -grade vinyl and rubber structure inflated with forced air (not compressed air) provided
by a squirrel cage blower unit. The inflatables are similar to hot-air balloons, in that their construction prevents them
from "popping" or becoming excessively inflated. Passive, one-way exit air flaps open when a set inflation is reached
thereby maintaining the optimum level of inflation. Once the blower is turned off, the inflatables self -deflate completely
in less than 3 minutes. Fire resistance information is provided.
Blower Unit - A 2'x2'x2' metal box housing a 15 amp electric motor and a squirrel cage fan that forces air into the
Interactive Inflatable through a 10" diameter flexible duct.
Activity Area - the largest section of the facility that will house the inflatables and blowers.
Party Room - an area adjoining the Activity Area to be used by the party guests for refreshments and gifts.
Arena Supervisor - a staff member who remains on the floor of the Activity Area during a party to maintain safety and
assist guests.
Hours of Operation:
Each party will be required to secure advanced date reservations. At no time will the facility be open to the general
pr,blic on a drop-in basis. Reservations for parties will be accepted for dates Sunday thru Saturday, with the earliest party
.using at 9:30 A.M. and the last party ending not later than 10:00 P.M. Each party will be limited to 2 hours total time
(up to 90 minutes in the Activity Centers and the balance in the Party Room). Please note that 90% of our parties are
held when the business park is closed.
Physical Set -Up:
Party guests will enter the facility at the front entrance of the building into the Lobby Area. From the Lobby Area, the
group will move to the Activity Areas. From the Activity Areas the group will move to the Party Room, then back to the
Lobby to exit the building.
Parking and Traffic:
At no time will Pump It Up be open to the public for drop-in visitors. There are currently parking spaces for
the building, , as well as handicapped parking. Including employees, there should not be more than . cars at any
given time, as it has been our personal experience that a majority of parents drop off their invited children at parties, then
pick-up at the end.
Food and Drinks:
Pump It Up will not produce or prepare any food or meals whatsoever. Depending on city, county and state codes, we
will explore the possibility of having restaurant -prepared pizza delivered with canned or bottled sodas. Birthday
cakes and desserts, if any, must be provided by the party host. We will provide a refrigerator for the customer's use
during the party.
Environmental Concerns:
Hazardous Materials: There are no hazardous materials, emissions, runoff or waste associated with the use of inflatables.
Small quantities of janitorial supplies will be stored on site.
Noise: The 15 amp electric blowers, the high volume of moving air and excited children will combine to create noise levels.
With the huge Activity Area having tall ceilings, we do not anticipate these noise levels exceeding any health or zoning code. We
have experienced no 'complaints in the existing facilities.
Garbage: We estimate each party will generate not more than two 33 -gallon trash bags filled mostly with paper plates, cups and
food waste. We plan on leasing a dumpster from the local Garbage company, which will be placed in the area designated by the
business park.
Electrical/Water Consumption: No industrial -level equipment will be used in this business. Five 15 amp blowers will be in use
for the inflatables in addition to the listed office equipment, appliances and lighting. Water consumption will be limited to lavatory
and water fountain use only.
As guests arrive, they will be allowed to sit in the reception lobby until the balance of their group arrives. When the group has
assembled, they will be escorted by the Arena Supervisor into the Activity Area where they will see the interactive inflatables. The
Arena Supervisor will direct the group to a seating area where they can remove and store their shoes while listening to instructions,
general behavior and safety rules on DVD. At the completion of the talk, the group will be allowed to enter the Activity Areas and
enjoy the inflatables. The Arena Supervisor will remain on the floor to monitor the Activity Areas and render assistance where
needed. At no time will this area be unsupervised during a party.
After not more than 90 minutes, the Arena Supervisor will indicate time is up and to get shoes on to go to the Party Room for the
balance of the party. The Supervisor will escort the group to the Party Room and provide any assistance the party host requires, but
will then leave the room to ready for the next group, if any. Another staff member will then assist the party with further needs. After
a total of 2 hours, the host will be advised time is up and direct the group back to the lobby to wait for rides and parents.
At no time, may the party host leave before all party members have been picked up
Interactive Inflatables: are made of industrial -grade vinyl and rubber and are inflated with blown air (not compressed air) provided
by a squirrel cage blower unit. The blower unit must remain on as long as the inflatable is in use to provide a constant flow of air.
The inflatables are similar to hot-air balloons, in that their construction prevents them from "popping" or becoming excessively
inflated. Passive, one-way exit air flaps open when a set inflation is reached thereby maintaining the optimum level of inflation. Once
the blower is turned off, the inflatables self -deflate completely in less than 3 minutes.
Surfacing: any part of the Activity Area floor used for foot traffic will be covered with a padded, indoor/outdoor grade carpet
approved for this facility.
Electronic: a standard suite of office equipment such as PC's and peripheral equipment.
Appliances: a refrigerator for sodas and customer -supplied cakes brought in during the party.
Furniture: standard office furniture, lobby seating, conference tables and chairs in the Party Room.
Special/Unique Equipment: each inflatable requires a squirrel cage blower unit that is rated at 15 amps/1 l0V-AC with a start-up
draw of 20 amps. These units are self-contained and UL -approved devices for both indoor and outdoor use.
