DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY APPLICATION PD1 6-07 RENAISSANCE HOTEL
First for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to City Council was
conditional use permit application CU16-22 and planned development overlay
application PD16-07 submitted by Mehul Patel for property located at 2225 Bass Pro
Court and proposed to be platted as Lot 2, Block 1 , Silver Lake Crossings. The
applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to establish a 300 room hotel with the
possession, storage, retail sales, and on-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages
(beer, wine and mixed beverages) in conjunction with a restaurant, coutdoor patio
seating, outdoor speakers, and an increase in height. The applicant was also
092016

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 20, 2016
requesting a planned development overlay to deviate from but not be limited to
reduction in the amount of parking provided below what is required by ordinance.
With this request the applicant intended to develop a nine story, 300 room Renaissance
Hotel on the subject tract that is part of the planned commercial center established with
the TownePlace Suites/Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn hotel complex located
immediately adjacent to the south. All guestrooms meet or exceed the minimum 380
s.f. room size requirement. The applicant is also providing 19,687 s.f. of conference
space and a restaurant in excess of 4,000 s.f. with seating for 150 patrons. A 2,934 s.f.
swimming pool was also proposed therefore meeting all ordinance requirements for new
hotel development within the city.
As part of the conditional use process the applicant proposed to establish an outdoor
patio area with outdoor speakers that will be on a lower level from the main lobby
looking towards the lake to the northeast. Also though the conditional use process the
applicant is seeking to exceed the height maximum of 50 feet for the district to allow for
the nine story (114 feet) to be developed on the site.
Relative to the planned development overlay request, the applicant proposed a
reduction in the amount of parking provided from a required 500 spaces to 280 spaces.
A parking study recommended a reduction in the parking provided given the high
number of guests that will arrive at the hotel through shuttle service from the D/FW
Airport or in situations where demand exceeds the available spaces, guests would be
shuttled from other auxiliary parking areas.
After further consideration of the overall parking scenario relative to both hotels, the
applicant proposed increasing the number of spaces provided from 0.8 spaces per room
to 1 .0 spaces per room or 450 spaces relative to the conjoined TownePlace
Suites/Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The additional spaces as well as
those associated with the adjacent hotel will be contained within a parking structure that
will be constructed within the basic confines of the main parking area for the
Renaissance Hotel.
In the Commission's regular session Dennis Luers moved to approve conditional use
application CU16-22. Discussion was held regarding the addition of a parking garage.
Dennis Luers amended his motion to approve conditional use application CU16-22 with
the condition of approval of the site plan for the parking garage. Monica Hotelling
seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote:

ITEM 15 & 16. CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION CU16-23, PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY APPLICATION PD1 6-08 HILTON GARDEN INN
Next for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to City Council was
conditional use permit application CU16-23 and planned development overlay
application PD16-08 submitted by Mehul Patel for property located at 2200 Bass Pro
Court and proposed to be platted as Lot 1A, Block 1 , Silver Lake Crossings. The
applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to amend the previously approved
site plan of CU 13-33 (Ord.13-60) for a planned commercial center in conjunction with a
300 room co-branded hotel with on-premise alcohol beverage sales, building height in
excess of 50 feet and a 20 foot pylon sign, specifically to allow for a 150 room
expansion (Hilton-Garden Inn) and increase in height for the expansion, and to increase
the size of the planned commercial center. The applicant was also seeking a planned
development overlay to deviate from but not be limited to reduction in the amount of
parking provided below that required by ordinance.
With this request the applicant intended to add a third brand, the Hilton Garden Inn, to
the two existing conjoined hotels on the site. This 150 room expansion will bring the
total room count on this property to 450 rooms along with 5,000 s.f. of additional
meeting space bringing that total to 15,000 s.f. of meeting space on site. A small
lounge/restaurant space area comprised of 25 seats was also proposed. All rooms in
the proposed expansion exceed the minimum 380 s.f. minimum room size requirement.
This expansion will be of similar height to the existing hotel, six stories (69 feet), and
can exceed the 50 foot height limitation for the district through the conditional use
process. The applicant was also proposing to expand the size of the planned
commercial center to include the property to the immediate north (the proposed
Renaissance Hotel site) and undeveloped property to the northeast at the northeast
corner of Bass Pro Court and State Highway 26.
The applicant was also requesting a planned development overlay to allow a reduction
in the amount of parking provided from a required 717 spaces to 394 spaces. A parking
study recommended a reduction in the parking provided given the high number of
guests that will arrive at the hotel through shuttle service from the D/FW Airport or in
situations where demand exceeds the available spaces, guests will be shuttled from
other auxiliary parking areas.
After further consideration of the overall parking scenario relative to both hotels, the
applicant proposed increasing the number of spaces provided from 0.8 spaces per room
to 1 .0 spaces per room or 450 spaces relative to the conjoined TownPlace
Suites/Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The additional spaces as well as
those associated with the adjacent hotel will be contained within a parking structure that
will be constructed within the basic confines of the main parking area for the
Renaissance Hotel.

planned development overlay application PD16-09 submitted by Miller Sylvan for
property located at 1775 State Highway 26 and proposed to be platted as Lot 1A1 ,
Block 1 , The Bluffs of Grapevine. The applicant was requesting to rezone 13.58 acres
from CC Community Commercial District to R-MF Multi-Family District for the
development of 359 multi-family units. The applicant is also requesting a conditional

setback and parking. A planned development overlay request is also proposed to
deviate from but not be limited to standards relative to building length, building setback

The applicant also intended to utilize the planned development overlay to deviate from
the following requirements within the ordinance:
• Building length: The ordinance establishes a maximum building length of 200
feet. This also applies to any cluster of attached buildings unless there is a
deflection angle of at least 20 degrees and under no circumstances shall a
cluster of buildings exceed 250 feet in length. The applicant proposes a

40 degrees, with a maximum building length of 800 feet in length.
• Building setback and off-street parking: The ordinance establishes a
minimum 15 feet of building separation between structures and off-street

requirement.
• Building separation: The ordinance establishes a minimum distance between
two buildings at 20 feet or the height of the structure whichever is greater.
Whenever two structures are arranged face-to-face or back-to-back the
minimum distance shall be 50 feet. The applicant is proposing a minimum 20
feet of separation and 40 feet of separation when structures are arranged face-
to-face or back-to-back.

setback be established between parking/vehicle uses and adjoining properties.
