HARDY, DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES k1TN CINDY JACKSON, AICP, PLANNER II t MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 23, 2002 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 27 "PO" PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT REGULATIONS RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the attached amendment to Section 27, "PO", Professional Office District, and take any necessary action. BACKGROUND: Mr. Steve Isbell has submitted a letter requesting the Planning and Zoning Commission consider amending Section 27, "PO", Professional Office District regulations of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The requested amendment would allow Planned Commercial Centers as a conditional use in the Professional Office District. Given that current "PO" districts range in size from 2,507 square feet to 7,210,638 square feet, staff is recommending that the minimum district size for a planned commercial center located within the "PO" district be two (2) acres. /cj wk.section27 October 17, 2002 (9:39AM) MM Realty Capital Corporation August 27, 2002 Mr. Tommy Hardy Director of Development Services City of Grapevine 200 South Main Street Grapevine, Texas 76051 Re: Platting issues at South Main Vineyard, South Main Street, Grapevine, Texas Dear Mr. Hardy, I am writing to you in the hopes that you could provide me some direction on a platting issue I am having with South Main Vineyard. Originally, the site plan was approved with three buildings on the same lot. Realty Capital's plan was to build all three buildings and sell the entire development to a single investor. However, the recent changes in the economy, increasingly more strict lender's requirements and investor preferences have made it impossible for us to complete the development without replatting the property. In essence, we need to sell the first building before we can build the second. It is difficult for us to sell the first building without replatting the development. We do not want to change the site plan at all. We just basically need to divide up the site into three pieces. We are able to still satisfy most of the ordinance requirements for subdivision of a lot. But the issue of landscape setbacks and buffer yards is causing us difficulty. The site plan was approved with three buildings as shown on the enclosed site plan. All we want to do is divide the lot into three pieces so each piece can be bought and/or sold separately (see the enclosed proposed replat). The new owners will still be forced to comply with the previously approved site plan. Aesthetically, the project will look the same. Without replatting, we can't sell the buildings. If we can't sell the buildings, we can't build future phases. We truly enjoy developing property in Grapevine and we greatly appreciate all of the help we receive from the City of Grapevine. In particular, Ron Stombaugh is always willing to talk to me and explain the intricacies of the ordinances and development procedures here in Grapevine. Please call me at (817) 488-4200, extension 127 if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration! 1111 South Main Street, Suite 200, Grapevine, Texas 76051 • (817) 488-4200 *Fax (8 17) 424-2448 DRAFT 10/23/02 Section 27.

HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 20 "R-TH" TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT REGULATIONS RELATIVE TO BUFFER AREA REGULATIONS AND AMENDMENT TO SECTION 27 "PO" PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT REGULATIONS Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the attached amendment to Section 20 and Section 27, and take any necessary action. :' '•1 0 Section 20 "R-TH" Townhouse District Section 20.H of the zoning ordinance refers to buffer area standards for sites zoned "R- TH" Townhouse District that are located next to a developed residential property. The ordinance specifically calls out all residential districts in the City with the exception of "R- 5.0" Zero Lot -Line District. This district should have been included in the list of residential districts, but was excluded through clerical error. Staff is proposing to amend Section 20.H to include the "R-5.0" Zero Lot -Line District in the list of residential districts as was originally intended. Section 27 "PO" Professional Office District Mr. Steve Isbell has submitted a letter requesting the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council consider amending Section 27, "PO", Professional Office District regulations of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The requested amendment would allow Planned Office Centers as a conditional use in the Professional Office District. Mr. Isbell's request is the result of platting issues at the South Main Vineyard office complex. In order to plat the site into separate lots, each lot must stand on it's own with regard to parking, landscaping and buffering. Since the complex was designed as one site, the proposed individual lots don't meet the requirements necessary for subdivision, however as a Planned Office Center, each lot could stand on its own. R:\AGENDA\12-17-02\AM02-07.4.doc and AM02-08.4 December 11, 2002 (2:56PM) The proposed Planned Office Center designation would be similar to the Planned Commercial Center designation currently allowed by conditional use permit in commercial districts with the exception of the minimum district size. Given that current "PO" districts range in size from 2,507 square feet to 7,210,638 square feet, staff is recommending that the minimum district size for a planned office center located within the "PO" district be two acres. Icj R:\AGENDA\12-17-02\AM02-07.4.doc and AM02-08.,2 December 11, 2002 (2:56PM) 10/24/02 Section 20. R-TH Townhouse District Regulations H. BUFFER AREA REGULATIONS: Whenever an R-TH Townhouse development is located adjacent to a developed residential district (R-20, R- 12.5, R-7.5, R-5.0, R-3.75, R -MF -1, R -MF -2) or a non-residential district, without any division such as a dedicated public street, park or permanent open space, all principal buildings or structures shall be set -back a minimum of forty (40) feet from the adjoining property line. The setback area shall contain appropriate landscape improvements, fencing, berms, or trees in accordance with Alternate A, B, or E, in Section 50, to adequately buffer adjoining uses. HEIGHT REGULATIONS: The following maximum height regulations shall be observed: The maximum height of the principal structures shall be two (2) stories not to exceed thirty-five (35) feet. Whenever a townhouse structure is erected contiguous to an existing single family dwelling, the number of stories and height of the townhouse structure shall not exceed the number of stories and height of the contiguous single family dwelling. In no instance shall the height of a townhouse structure exceed two (2) stories or thirty-five (35) feet. 2. The maximum height of an accessory structure shall be one (1) story not to exceed fifteen (15) feet. 3. The maximum height of a storage building used for maintenance or mechanical equipment shall be one story not to exceed ten (10) feet. J OFF-STREET PARKING: Provisions for the parking of automobiles shall be allowed as an accessory use to any principal permitted use provided that such shall not be located on a required front yard or side yard. Off-street parking areas shall be landscaped in accordance with Section 53. Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Sections 56 and 58 of this Ordinance and other applicable ordinances of the City.

Re PO District � "" �"' ` � '�� Page 1 From: Teri Landrum To: Jackson, Cindy Date: 9/5/02 3:16PM Subject: Re: PO District Cindy, There are 33 PO Districts. The total of all 33 is 7,210,638 sf. The average is 218,504 sf. The maximum is 2,004,274 sf and the minimum is 2,507 sf. So there is quite a big difference btwn the smallest and the largest. Keep in mind that these calculations are based on the area of the district and not the individual parcels within each district. Hope this helps, Teri >>> Cindy Jackson 09/05/02 02:58PM >>> Hi, Would you be able to do a query on the GIS system to find out what the average size of a PO district is? If not, could you query for the sizes of all PO districts in the city and then I will average them? Thanks!
