Section 'D Planned Development Overlay
PURPOSE: The "PD" Planned Development Overlay is a planning tool that
should be utilized to improve property with a goal of establishing unique as well
as modern urban development in situations where strict adherence to standard
zoning criteria inhibits the creative process. The objectiveplanned
development v rt is to promote progressive and flexibleland
development on problematic tracts of land wherecertain causative factors
such s extreme topography, irr I r property boundaries, surrounding
uses and zoningter similar aspects renders the land i is It to
develop under established gur elin . It should be utilized to create
compatible land uses within urbanized areas and generate the appropriate
criteria necessary to enable the development of land that is unlikely to occur
given the standards established in other zoning districts. Care should be given to
ensure that development under this section in no way negatively impacts the
health, safety, and welfare of the general public. The discretionary oversight
granted in this section shall allow the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council the ability to establish standards and impose conditions upon such
requests to mitigate or eliminate potentially adverse effects upon the community
or upon properties within the vicinity of the proposed use. Designation under this
section shall not affect the underlying zoning of the property except as provided
in the ordinance establishing the overlay.
GENERAL GUIDELINES: All uses—permitted, accessory, and conditional
relative to a request for the creation of a "PD" Planned Development Overlay
shall be initially established by the underlying zoning district. In situations where
there is a need to deviate from the established guidelines in the underlying
zoning district relative to permitted, accessory or conditional uses and/or general
development criteria i.e. density requirements, area requirements etc., the
applicant shall present to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council the special circumstances that inhibit the development of property strictly
utilizing the standards designated in the underlying zoning district and the criteria
that will differ from that established in the underlying zoning district.
APPLICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A "PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY: An application for a "PD" Planned Development Overlay shall be filed
with the Director of Development Services which shall be forwarded to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The application shall

consistent with the adopted policies in the Comprehensive Master
Plan of the City of Grapevine.
2. That the proposed "PD" Planned Development Overlay will not
have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property,
the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, parking, utility
facilities, and other matters affecting the public health, safety and
general welfare.
3. That the proposed "PD" Planned Development Overlay will be
constructed arranged and operated so as not to dominate the
immediate vicinity or to interfere with the development and use of
neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district

Occupancy Permit is obtained and a use commenced. The City Council may
grant one additional extension not exceeding one year, upon written application,
without notice or hearing. No additional extension shall be granted without
complying with the notice and hearing requirements for an initial application as
required in Section 67, Amendments. It should be recognized that the
establishment of a planneddevelopment v rt is contractual in nature
and upon expiration of a Site Plan approved in conjunction with the

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE

FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
SCOTT WILLIAMS, ACTING DIRECTOR DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AM06-03 - AMENDMENTS
TO SECTION 41 "PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider
the amendments to Section 41, "PD" Planned Development Overlay, and take any
action necessary.
Since it's adoption April 19, 2005 varying degrees of concern have surrounded the
planned development concept relative to its appropriateness, intent, and application.
Given the few remaining unique vacant tracts of land left to develop in the City, the
possibility exists that as this property develops, a planned development overlay will be a
part of the process. The same holds true for existing developed property that evolves
and redevelops.
Based on a worksession held with the Planning and Zoning Commission on
February 28, 2006, staff has incorporated the comments and suggestions from that
meeting into a new document. In particular, a statement has been added to the
"Purpose" section relative to the objective of a planned development overlay and the
"Application" section was amended adding direct and specific information pertaining to
the requirements necessary for filing a planned development overlay. A definition of
"redevelopment" has been provided, an additional statement added to the "Period of
Validity" section, the masonry requirements have been reinstated and lastly a section
has been added requiring compliance with all Subdivision Regulations and Construction
Standards.
The ordinance is atached for your review Staff recommends approval.

Section 41, "PD" Planned Development Overlay
PURPOSE: The "PD" Planned Development Overlay is a planning tool that
should be utilized to improve property with a goal of establishing unique as well
as modern urban development in situations where strict adherence to standard
zoning criteria inhibits the creative process. The objective of a planned
development overlay is to promote progressive and flexible land
development on problematic tracts of land where certain causative factors
such as extreme topography, irregular property boundaries, surrounding
uses and zoning and other similar aspects renders the land difficult to
develop under established guidelines. It should be utilized to create
compatible land uses within urbanized areas and generate the appropriate
criteria necessary to enable the development of land that is unlikely to occur
given the standards established in other zoning districts. Care should be given to
ensure that development under this section in no way negatively impacts the
health, safety, and welfare of the general public. The discretionary oversight
granted in this section shall allow the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
City Council the ability to establish standards and impose conditions upon such
requests to mitigate or eliminate potentially adverse effects upon the community
or upon properties within the vicinity of the proposed use. Designation under this
section shall not affect the underlying zoning of the property except as provided
in the ordinance establishing the overlay.
GENERAL GUIDELINES: All uses—permitted, accessory, and conditional
relative to a request for the creation of a "PD" Planned Development Overlay
shall be initially established by the underlying zoning district. In situations where
there is a need to deviate from the established guidelines in the underlying
zoning district relative to permitted, accessory or conditional uses and/or general
development criteria i.e. density requirements, area requirements etc., the
applicant shall present to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City
Council the special circumstances that inhibit the development of property strictly
utilizing the standards designated in the underlying zoning district and the criteria
that will differ from that established in the underlying zoning district.
APPLICATION FOR ESTABLISHING A "PD" PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY: An application for a "PD" Planned Development Overlay shall be filed
with the Director of Development Services which shall be forwarded to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The application shall
contain a Site Plan as stated in Section 47, Site Plan Review, with the following
information as well as any additional information as may be required by the
Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council, or the Director of Development
Services. Failure to meet the following submittal requirements will result in
the rejection of the applications
