Conditional Use Request CU02-47 submitted by Melvin Warren Jr. for property located at
2501 Heritage Avenue and proposed to be platted as Lots 1 R1, 1 R2, and 1 R3, Block 1,
Southwest Grapevine Commercial Park. The applicant was requesting a conditional use
permit to allow the development of a personal care facility.
This request was tabled during the public hearing at the November 19, 2002 meeting in
order for the applicant to address the City Council's concerns relative to sound attenuation.
As a part of the ordinance associated with this request, the conditions are:
A. The property owner must dedicate to the City of Grapevine, the Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport Board, the City of Dallas, and the City of Fort
Worth, on the plat and by separate instrument, an avigation easement in a
form acceptable to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, the City
of Dallas, and the City of Fort Worth.
B. No building permit shall be issued for any building on the subject property
unless the plans have been stamped and sealed by a professional or
acoustical engineer, qualified and licensed in the State of Texas, certifying that
the building to be constructed shall include sound treatment to achieve at least
25 dB Noise Level Reduction as recommended by the FAA.
C. No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued for any building on the subject
property unless a professional or acoustical engineer, qualified and licensed in
the State of Texas certifies that the building has been constructed in
accordance with the standard provided hereinabove in Section 2.13.
This is the first phase of a multi -phase project. This first phase will contain 42 -beds for the
proposed personal care facility.
Melvin Warren, the applicant, was present to answer questions and request favorable
consideration of the request. Sandra Lancaster, representing the Dallas -Fort Worth Airport,
was also present to answer questions.
With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by Danette Murray, to approve Conditional Use
Request CU02-47 with the noted conditions, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:

CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-56 — RIVERWALK APARTMENTS
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Conditional Use Request CU02-56 submitted by Duke Residential Development Partners,
L.P. for property located at 3900 Grapevine Mills Parkway and proposed to be platted as Lot
1, Block 1, Riverwalk Addition. The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to
establish a 600 -unit apartment complex with reduced building separation and three-story
building height.
The applicant proposed to develop a 600 -unit apartment complex at the southeast corner of
F.M. 2499 and the Grapevine/Flower Mound city limit line. This will be a two-phase project
with the first phase consisting of 310 units and the second phase the remaining 290 units.
Council approved in April 2002 a rezoning of the subject property from "PID" Planned
Industrial Development District to "R -MF -1" Multifamily District. As a part of the rezoning the
applicant submitted voluntary deed restrictions to demonstrate to Council his intent to
develop a project that meets or exceeds the standards he has set for this type of project in
the immediate vicinity. In the deed restrictions, Mr. Stone agreed to develop the property as
follows:
012103 3
Present an architectural style similar to that of the existing multi -family projects in the
area.
• Total number of units will not exceed 600.
• At least sixty (60) percent of the units will have garages with direct access.
• The average unit size will be at least 950 square feet.
• The property will contain a park and lake areas similar to the concept plan that was a
part of the rezoning approved in April 2002.
With this conditional use request, the applicant met all the conditions set forth in the deed
restrictions approved at the April 2002 meeting. The total number of units proposed is 600;
360 units of the total (60 percent) will be direct access garage units. Average unit size for
the entire complex is 1,029 square feet.
The site plan associated with this conditional use request would also serve as a Tree
Preservation Permit. Due to the extreme topography of the site approximately 32 acres
would be reclaimed from the floodplain. One hundred and three trees comprising 670 total
caliper inches are proposed to be removed during the reclamation process which would be
replaced by 140 trees of four inch caliper size and 37 trees of three inch caliper size totaling
671 total caliper inches.
Mr. Jerry Stone, representing Duke Residential Development Partners, L.P., was present to
answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request.
With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding open space area
on the southern portion of the property. Mr. Oliver noted it would be preferable to require
any changes to the concept plan to be approved by staff prior to the reclamation process.
Rob Undersander moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to approve Conditional Use
Request CU02-56 with the stipulation that staff review plans for open space area before
reclamation starts, including engineering plans, and to make certain these changes still
comply with the basic concept plan presented with zone change request. The motion
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander
Nays: None

AM03-01 - AMENDMENTS TO CODE OF ORDINANCES APPENDIX D
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 82-73 AS AMENDED SECTION 25 "CC"
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND SECTION 29 "HCO" HOTEL/CORPORATE
OFFICE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO WINERIES AS A CONDITIONAL USE
Next for the Committee to consider were amendments to the Grapevine Code of
Ordinances, Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Section 25, "CC" Community
Commercial District and Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District relative to
wineries as a conditional use.
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.
012103 6
P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
JANUARY 21, 2003
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. Mr. Carter was requesting that the "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office
District be amended to include wineries in the list of "Conditional Uses."
Staff also received inquires over past few years 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
In
appropriate.
With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to
approve amendments to the Code Of Ordinances, Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District, and
Section 29, "HCO" Hotel/Corporate Office District relative to wineries as a conditional use,
and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander
Nays: None
AMENDMENTS TO THE MASTER LAND USE PLAN
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
amending the Official City of Grapevine Future Land Use Map 11 to bring land use
designations into compliance with recent zoning changes. Since the Comprehensive Master
Plan was last updated, development trends within the City have diverged from those
envisioned. This proposed update would correct those discrepancies noted between the
current zoning/development of these sites and their land use designations as shown on the
Future Land Use map.
Many of the sites on which the zoning designation does not correspond with the Master
Plan are sites that have rezoned to the "GU", Government Use District for the development
of parks and schools. Likewise, development along the Dallas Road corridor has deviated
from the commercial development anticipated for this area and has been developed with
warehouse uses. Much of the new development has required a change in zoning from "CC"
Community Commercial District to "Ll" Light Industrial District. Conversely, the industrial
development planned for along Highway 26 has not materialized. Instead, the development
in this area has been commercial development.
