SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2008
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP ITEM: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ALL
RELEVANT SECTIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
RELATIVE TO SECONDHAND GOODS AND TO PUBLIC,
PRIVATE, AND NONPROFIT INSTITUTIONS AS PERMITTED
USES
Staff recommends the City Council consider possible amendments to all relevant
sections of the zoning ordinance relative to secondhand goods and to public, private,
and nonprofit institutions as permitted uses and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Staff has received a request from Council Member Spencer to discuss in a Council
workshop several possible amendments to the zoning ordinance. As the ordinance is
currently written, "secondhand goods in an enclosed building" is a permitted use in the
"CC" Community Commercial District and is therefore also a permitted use in the "HC"
Highway Commercial District. Councilmember Spencer is recommending that it be
moved to the conditional use section of the "CC" Community Commercial District so that
the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council can consider the appropriateness
of this type of use on a case-by-case basis. An alternate proposal by Council Member
Freed would be to establish a minimum square footage threshold whereby a request for
secondhand goods in an enclosed building would still be allowed as a permitted use but
any request for such a use in a structure over the threshold would require a conditional
use permit.
Council Member Spencer has also expressed concern about the proliferation of private
schools in commercial buildings which have historically produced sales tax revenues
rather than being used for another purpose, and is recommending that we consider
amending Section 27, "PO" Professional Office District be amended by removing from
the permitted use section item number 8, "public institutions and nonprofit institutions of
any educational, religious or cultural type, but excluding corrective institutions and
hospitals" and placing it in the conditional use section of the ordinance. This use is a
conditional use in all other sections of the ordinance where it is specifically listed. The
"PO" Professional Office District, and through the cumulative nature of the "CC"
Community Commercial District and the "HC" Highway Commercial District, are the only
districts where this use is allowed as a permitted use.

HAND GOODS AND PRIVATE, PUBLIC AND NON-

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
consider amendments to Section 24, "CN" Neighborhood Commercial, Section
25, "CC" Community Commercial, Section 26, "HC" Highway Commercial,
Section 27, "PO" Professional Office, Section 28, "CBD" Central Business
District, Section 31, "LI" Light Industrial and Section 40 "MXU" Mixed Use District
relative to second hand goods and private, public and non-profit institutions, and
take any necessary action.
At the City Council workshop on October 21, 2008, the Development Services
Director was instructed to advertise for a public hearing on two Zoning Ordinance
amendments. The first proposed amendment is regarding secondhand goods
within an enclosed building in the Neighborhood Commercial, Community
Commercial, Highway Commercial, Central Business District and Mixed Use
zoning districts. As currently written, and interpreted by staff, the Zoning
Ordinance allows retail resale shops of any size in these districts. Council has
expressed concern that very large resale operations might not necessarily be
desirable in these districts in all cases, and expressed desire to have oversight of
requests for large resale establishments through the Conditional Use process.
0AZCU\AM08-04.4.doc 11/11/2008 4:55:19 PM
Council discussed the possibility of establishing a threshold for building
size/tenant space before a conditional use would be required. To that end staff
was directed to research the size of secondhand goods establishments in the
area, as well as the size of tenant spaces in Downtown Grapevine on Main
Street. Investigation showed that there are resale establishments in the area
ranging from 1,700 square feet to over 100,000 square feet. Recent Certificate of
Occupancies on Main Street range from 500 square feet to 3,379 square feet.
Planning and Zoning and Council may wish to consider these ranges in
discussion relative to a threshold for requiring a conditional use.
The second item staff was directed to advertise, was an ordinance amendment
requiring private and charter schools to obtain a conditional use in all districts.
Staff has therefore prepared a Zoning Ordinance amending Section 27
Professional Office District Regulations. This proposed amendment removes
27.A.8. 'Public institutions and nonprofit institutions of any educational, religious,
or cultural type, but excluding corrective institutions or hospitals" from a permitted
use, and places it in Section 27.C. Conditional Uses. Furthermore the
amendment modifies the language by adding: "including private and charter
schools". Similar proposed amendments were made in the Neighborhood
Commercial, Community Commercial and Highway Commercial districts.
