FOR OPEN SPACE AND RECREATIONAL AREAS AND
SECTION 20, "R-TH" TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO
REQUIRING DEDICATED OPEN SPACE IN THE "R-TH"
TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT; SECTION 60, SIGN REGULATIONS
RELATIVE TO ROOF SIGNS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the
amendments to Section 51, Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Areas,
Section 20, "R-TH" Townhouse District, and Section 60, Sign Standards and take any other
action necessary.
Section 51, Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Areas:
Currently, Section 51 mandates that as new residential developments occurwithin the City,
sufficient land is dedicated or set aside for usable open space and recreational space for
parks, playgrounds, picnic areas etc. All properties that fall within any of the single family
detached zoning districts (R-20, R-12.5, R-7.5 and R-5.0) are required to dedicate 300
square feet per dwelling unit to this open space requirement. In certain cases a fee may
be paid in lieu of the dedication. Based upon a request from the Director of the Parks and
Recreation, it is recommended that the "R-TH" Townhouse District be added to the list of
those zoning districts that require the separate dedication of usable open space. Staff
recommends utilizing the same open space fee as the "R-5.0" zoning district, which is
$1,416 per lot/unit. The "R-5.0" zoning district is the most dense development district and is
the closest to the "R-TH" Townhouse District. For whatever reason yet undetermined, the
"R-TH" Townhouse District was never included in the list of districts requiring dedication of
open space. It is the only remaining individually platted residential zoning district not
included in the list of districts requiring open space dedication. Given the amount of
interest the residential development community is generating in proposing townhouse
projects within the City, the Planning and Zoning Commission at their February 16, 2006
0:\ZCU1AM06-02.4
03/16/06 8:30 AM
worksession authorized Staff to set a public hearing for consideration of the proposed
amendments to Section 51 and Section 20. See the attached draft amendments.
Section 60, Sign Standards:
Section 60, Sign Standards makes no special provision for a "roof sign," i.e. those signs
that are painted on the roof of a building which are primarily viewed from the air.
Specifically they have been prohibited since they were not allowed by ordinance. Staff has
increasingly been receiving requests to allow this type of sign and it has been allowed in
some special circumstances, e.g. Grapevine Mills Mall, Fellowship Church, and some
GCISD school buildings. Given that these types of signs are totally unobtrusive except
when viewed from above, Staff recommends they be exempt from the standards set forth
in Section 60 with the provision that the painted roof sign cannot be viewed from the
property line, right-of-way or public access easement and that a permit be required for this
type of signage. At the Planning and Zoning Commission's February 16, 2006 work
session Staff was authorized to set a public hearing for consideration of the proposed
amendment to Section 60. See the attached draft ordinance.

Section 51. Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Areas
A. PURPOSE: The requirements for open space, park and recreational areas
contained in this Section 51 are intended to ensure that in new residential
developments in the City of Grapevine there will be sufficient land dedicated or
otherwise set aside to meet the demand and need of the future residents of the
development for open space, and neighborhood parks, containing passive or active
recreational areas that are reasonably attributable to such development. In
determining the size of the parcel, or parcels, that should be set aside and reserved
in the manner set out in this Section 51 the City Council has taken as a benchmark
the standards of the National Recreation and Park Association. It is the policy of
the City that when land is dedicated or otherwise set aside and reserved for open
space and park and recreational areas, such land should be in close proximity to the
residential development it is designed to serve and shall be of such size, character,
and dimensions as is necessary to provide usable open space and park and
recreational areas.
B. APPLICATION: A certificate of zoning compliance shall not be issued for any
residential subdivision or development unless open space and park and recreational
areas shall have been dedicated or set aside on the subdivision plat or in the plan
for such development in accordance with the standards and criteria in this Section
51.
C. CHARACTER AND MINIMUM AREA:
Land dedicated or otherwise set aside for open space and park and
recreational areas shall be of such size, dimensions, topography, and
general character as is reasonably required for the type of use proposed,
e.g., open space buffer, active recreation for team or individual sports,
playground, tot lot, picnic area, etc.
2. Unique natural areas or flood plains which provide an opportunity for linkage
parks may be included in areas dedicated or otherwise set aside or reserved
for open space.
3. The minimum amount of open space and park recreational area that shall be
dedicated or otherwise reserved pursuant to this Section 51 shall be:
a) In the R-20, R-12.5, R-7.5, and R-5.0 Distr-ists, and R-TH Districts,
three hundred (300) square feet per dwelling unit.
b) In all other residential districts, including the PRD -6 and PRD -12
Districts, the open space and recreational area requirements shall be
021006 1 Section 51
observed.
03-21-06
4. No land dedicated or otherwise reserved in compliance with this Section 51
shall have dimensions smaller than one hundred (100) feet in width and one
hundred fifty (150) feet in depth. In any development which includes wooded
areas, flood plains, or other natural amenities which it is desirable to
maintain, the City Council may grant an exception from the strict application
of these minimum dimensions whenever it determines that by doing so the
protection and preservation of such areas will be promoted.
D. PLATTING REQUIREMENTS: The Director of Parks and Recreation, a designated
Parks and Recreation board member, and a member of the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council shall compose an Open Space Committee. The
City Council representative shall be an ex officio, non-voting member of the
committee. The Open Space Committee shall have a plat review meeting regarding
each proposed land donation prior to it being submitted to the City Council. Any
land dedicated or otherwise reserved under this Section 51 for open space park and
recreational area shall be shown on a plat submitted for approval by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and City Council. Upon approval, said plat shall be filed of
record in the county in which the property is located.
The City Council may, upon application by a developer, or other person or firm with
a legal interest in the land to be developed, allow the open space and park and
recreational areas required by this Section 51 to be restricted to the use and
enjoyment of residents of the particular development or subdivision. The City
Council may grant such request whenever it finds: (1) that the public open space
and park and recreational areas required by this Section 51 cannot be effectively
and efficiently integrated into the public park system of the City; (2) that the open
space and park and recreational needs of the residents of the development or
subdivision can be supplied by the reservation of private open space and
recreational areas at least as adequately as by the dedication of public park land;
and, (3) that the developer or subdivider has complied, or will comply, with the
requirements of Section 51.F., below. Such open space and park and recreational
areas shall be clearly noted on the plat or master development plan as "Private
Open Space or Private Recreational Land" at the time of submission to the City for
action by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council.
E. PAYMENT OF CASE IN LIEU OF RESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE OR PARK
AND RECREATIONAL AREAS: In any case in which the land required to be
dedicated or otherwise reserved by this Section 51 would be less than thirty
thousand (30,000) square feet, the developer or subdivider shall, and in all other
instances the City Council may, upon finding that the park and recreational needs of
a proposed development would be better served by the expansion or improvement
of an existing park, require that the developer or subdivider pay the City of
021006 2 Section 51
DRAFT COPY 03-21-06
Grapevine a sum of money that is equal to the fair market value of the land that
would be required to be dedicated or otherwise reserved for open space or park and
recreational areas pursuant to this Section 51 in lieu of such dedication or
reservation. A developer or subdivider may, with the consent of the City Council, as
an alternative to, and in lieu of, dedicating or otherwise reserving land for open
space or park and recreational purposes, pay the aforesaid sum to the City of
Grapevine. Said payment shall be made in the form of a cashier's check or other
cash equivalent including an irrevocable letter of credit on a form approved by the
City Attorney and with a bank or financial institution acceptable to the City and
delivered to the Director of Community Development. Said payment shall be due
before the City approves any construction plans for work authorized by Appendix E.,
or when construction plans are not required by Appendix E., payment shall be due
at the time the plats are accepted for filing. Title to all payments, in whichever
approved form of payment is used, shall vest in the City immediately upon approval
of the final plat by the City Council. All such payments: (1) shall be segregated in a
separate fund and used only for the acquisition and improvements of open space
and park and recreational areas within the City of Grapevine that will meet the
needs of the residents of the development or subdivision in respect of which such
payment was made; (2) shall be expended on the acquisition or improvements of
park land that is not more than one mile from the development or subdivision, or
within two miles from the development or subdivision in the event the City Council
determines and finds that it is not feasible, practical or advantageous to expend the
funds within the one mile distance; (3) if not expended within three years of receipt,
or unconditionally committed to be expended, shall be refunded to the developer or
subdivider.
F. MAINTENANCE: If the open space and recreational areas required by this Section
51 are to remain private, such areas shall be maintained by and deeded to a
homeowners' association, or a trustee. No plat or master development plan
containing a reservation of private open space and recreational areas shall be
approved until the applicant shall have filed with the Zoning Administrator a
declaration of the covenants and restrictions that will govern such association or
trustee, and received approval of the same from the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the City Council. Such instrument shall be approved by the City
Attorney as to legal form and effect, and by the Planning and Zoning Commission
as to the suitability of the proposed use of the proposed open space and
recreational areas.
The covenants and restrictions, when submitted, shall provide for establishment of
the homeowners' association or trust prior to the sale of any property; that open
space restrictions and maintenance shall be permanent; that the homeowners are
liable for the payment of maintenance fees and capital assessments; that unpaid
homeowners' fees and assessments will be a lien on the property of the delinquent
homeowners; that the association or trustee shall be responsible for liability

DRAFT COPY 03-21-06
insurance, taxes and perpetual maintenance; that membership shall be mandatory
for each homeowner and any successive buyer; and, that each homeowner, at the
time of purchase, shall be furnished with a copy of the approved restrictions or
conditions.
