MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER/
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2002
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMEMDMENTS TO SECTION 25, "CC"
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND SECTION 29,
"HCO" HOTEL/CORPORATE OFFICE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO
WINERIES AS A CONDITIONAL USE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council consider the amendments to Section 25, "CC" Community
Commercial District and Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District relative to
wineries as a conditional use and authorize Staff to set a public hearing for said
amendments at the December 17, 2002 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
According to existing ordinance, wineries are allowed a conditional use in only two
districts, the "CBD" Central Business District and the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District.
Staff has received a request from Mr. Curt Carter, the owner of a 20 -acre tract of land
just north of the Austin Ranch, west of Anderson -Gibson Road, to amend the zoning
ordinance to allow wineries as a conditional use in the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office
District. Mr. Carter intends to develop his property as a multi -phased planned
commercial center consisting of a winery, restaurant, 300 to 400 -room luxury, full-service
hotel, and a multi -story office building. Other amenities planned include a 400 -space
parking garage, and approximately 70 condominium villas. The first phase of this
proposed development is an approximate 120,000 square foot, multi -use facility that will
house a winery, restaurant, and additional meeting space. To this end, Mr. Carter is
requesting that the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District be amended to include
wineries in the list of "Conditional Uses." See the attached letter.
It is important to note that Staff has received inquires relative to wineries in other
districts, particularly the "CC" Community Commercial District. Given the current
economic climate and the increasing popularity of wine and wine production, Staff feels
that amending the "CC" Community Commercial District to include wineries in the list of
conditional uses is also appropriate. See the attached ordinance drafts.

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
P
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 21, 2003
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDIANANCE AMEMDMENT AM03-01;
AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 25, "CC" COMMUNITY
COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND SECTION 29, "HCO"
HOTEL/CORPORATE OFFICE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO
WINERIES AS A CONDITIONAL USE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council consider the amendments to Section 25, "CC" Community
Commercial District and Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District relative to
wineries as,a conditional use and take any action necessary.
As the ordinance is currently written, wineries are allowed as a conditional use in only
two districts: the "CBD" Central Business District and the "GV" Grapevine Vintage
District. Staff has received a request from Mr. Curt Carter, the owner of a 20 -acre tract
of land just north of the Austin Ranch, west of Anderson -Gibson Road, to amend the
zoning ordinance to allow wineries as a conditional use in the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate
Office District. It is Mr. Carter's intent to develop his property as a multi -phased planned
commercial center consisting of a winery, restaurant, 300 to 400 -room luxury, full-service
hotel, and a multi -story office building. Other amenities planned include a 400 -space
parking garage, and approximately 70 condominium villas. The first phase of this
proposed development is an approximate 120,000 square foot, multi -use facility that will
house a winery, restaurant, and additional meeting space. To this end, Mr. Carter is
requesting that the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District be amended to include
wineries in the list of "Conditional Uses." See the attached letter.
Over the past several years Staff has received inquires relative to wineries in other
districts, particularly the "CC" Community Commercial District. Given the current
economic climate and the increasing popularity of wine and wine production, Staff feels
that amending the "CC" Community Commercial District to include wineries in the list of
conditional uses is appropriate. See the attached ordinance drafts.
