MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER 4
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDIANANCE AMEMDMENT TO
SECTION 26, "HC" HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
RELATIVE TO GOLF AND UTILITY CART SALES AS A
CONDITIONAL USE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council, consider the proposed amendment to Section 26, "HC"
Highway Commercial District relative to golf and utility cart sales as a conditional use
and authorize Staff to set a public hearing or take any other action necessary.
Staff has received a request from Mr. Jason Richardson, owner of Grapevine Golf Carts
to allow outside display and outside storage of golf carts on property located at 1380 W.
Northwest Highway which he has under contract—this is the former Grapevine Battery
location just west of Fox Rental. It is Mr. Richardson's intent to display three or four new
golf carts near the front of the lot for advertising purposes and utilize the rear of the lot
for outside storage of golf carts. Mr. Richardson's business is currently located at 515 E.
Northwest Highway, the former Longhorn Sprinkler Supply, where he has no outside
display or storage.
As the ordinance is currently written, outside display and/or outside storage is permitted
for retail sales associated with building materials, new and used automotive sales,
camper and camper trailer sales, , and boat and marine sales. Allowing golf and utility
carts with outside display and storage as a conditional use would give the City Council
and the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to consider the merits of such
requests on a case-by-case basis. See the attached letter and ordinance revision.

Dear Tommy,
I am writing this letter in response to our conversation last week. Thank you for your expertise and
assistance. As advised, I am including in this letter, my plans and requests for the property located at
1380 W. NW Hwy, in Grapevine.
Currently, I am in negotiations to purchase the above-mentioned property. This property will be the new
location for my business, Grapevine Golf Cars, Inc. For the past year this property has served as an
overflow location, for the golf cars, that would not fit inside my current rental location. My plan is to
operate all aspects of Grapevine Golf Cars, Inc., from 1380 W. NW Hwy, effective January 1, 2005.
The thought of being a property owner along NW Hwy has caused me to take a closer look at the
appearances of the commercial properties. The appearance of the location that I am purchasing
desperately needs some improvements. My plans for improvement are for both the building and the
landscape. Building improvements include the reconstruction of the front of the building to include more
glass, and masonry exterior. I also have plans for ceramic tile, updating offices and installing central heat
and air systems. Exterior improvements include removing the security fence from the front of the property
and relocating it behind the building. One of my requests is the need to use the back of the property for
outside storage of my rental fleet. I plan to shield the traffic, from view of these outside stored units, with
fencing. I plan to clean up the overgrown foliage that has become an eye soar on this property. In
addition to cleaning up the existing foliage, I would like to add tasteful landscape that would mask and
create a natural setting for displaying 3-4 new units out front on a daily basis, for advertisement. Thus, my
second request for this commercial property. I am requesting permission to display new golf car units, in a
tasteful manner, outside for drive by advertising purposes.
I look forward to worming with you and the city to improve this commercial property and continue to
grow my business. I am attaching a rough sketch of the property, to better illustrate the changes and
requests mentioned in this letter. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Respectfully,
Jason T. Richardson

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER

H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 19, 2004
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDIANANCE AMEMDMENT AM04-03—SECTION 26,
"HC" HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT RELATIVE TO GOLF
AND UTILITY CART SALES AS A CONDITIONAL USE
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council consider
the proposed amendment to Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial District relative to
golf and utility cart sales as a conditional use and take any action necessary.
Staff has received a request from Mr. Jason Richardson, owner of Grapevine Golf Carts
to allow outside display and outside storage of golf carts on property located at 1380 W.
Northwest Highway which he has under contract—this is the former Grapevine Battery
location just west of Fox Rental. It is Mr. Richardson's intent to display three or four new
golf carts near the front of the lot for advertising purposes and utilize the rear of the lot
for outside storage of golf carts. Mr. Richardson's business is currently located at 515 E.
Northwest Highway, the former Longhorn Sprinkler Supply, where he has no outside
display or storage.
As the ordinance is currently written, outside display and/or outside storage is permitted
for retail sales associated with building materials, new and used automotive sales,
camper and camper trailer sales, and boat and marine sales. Allowing golf and utility
carts with outside display and storage as a conditional use would give the City Council
and the Planning and Zoning Commission the ability to consider the merits of such
requests on a case-by-case basis. See the attached letter and ordinance revision.

Dear Tommy,
AUG 3 1 2004
Per ............ .�
1 am writing this letter in response to our conversation last week. Thank you for your expertise and
assistance. As advised, I am including in this letter, my plans and requests for the property located at
1380 W. NW Hwy, in Grapevine.
Currently, I am in negotiations to purchase the above-mentioned property. This property will be the new
location for my business, Grapevine Golf Cars, Inc. For the past year this property has served as an
overflow location, for the golf cars, that would not fit inside my current rental location. My plan is to
operate all aspects of Grapevine Golf Cars, Inc., from 1380 W. NW Hwy, effective January 1, 2005.
The thought of being a property owner along NW Hwy has caused me to take a closer look at the
appearances of the commercial properties. The appearance of the location that I am purchasing
desperately needs some improvements. My plans for improvement are for both the building and the
landscape. Building improvements include the reconstruction of the front of the building to include more
glass, and masonry exterior. I also have plans for ceramic tile, updating offices and installing central heat
and air systems. Exterior improvements include removing the security fence from the front of the property
and relocating it behind the building. One of my requests is the need to use the back of the property for
outside storage of my rental fleet. I plan to shield the traffic, from view of these outside stored units, with
fencing. I plan to clean up the overgrown foliage that has become an eye soar on this property. In
addition to cleaning up the existing foliage, I would like to add tasteful landscape that would mask and
create a natural setting for displaying 3-4 new units out front on a daily basis, for advertisement. Thus, my
second request for this commercial property. I am requesting permission to display new golf car units, in a
tasteful manner, outside for drive by advertising purposes.
I look forward to worming with you and the city to improve this commercial property and continue to
grow my business. 1 am attaching a rough sketch of the property, to better illustrate the changes and
requests mentioned in this letter. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Respectfully, p
Jason T. Richardson
