TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER/C
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICE
DATE: JUNE 19, 2001
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU01-20, MILLS CORPORATION AND
FINAL PLAT OF LOTS 1R2, 2, 3, 4, AND 5, BLOCK 1, GRAPEVINE
MILLS ADDITION, PHASE 1
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council accept the applicant's request to withdraw without prejudice,
Conditional Use Request CU01-20 and the final plat of Lots 1 R2, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Block 1,
Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase 1, and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Conditional Use Request CU01-20, submitted by Louise Halprin of Morley Architects on
behalf of the Mills Corporation relates specifically to the subdivision and replatting of
four areas (Polar Ice, Sun & Ski, Sega Gameworks, and a future anchor tenant site)
within the mall proper. Before this could occur, a building code issue relative to the fire -
resistance rating of walls adjacent to property lines needed to be resolved. It has still
not been resolved. This request was tabled at the May 15th meeting pending the
resolution of this building code issue.
Council amended Section 67, Amendments, to require a one year waiting period for
requests (zone change, conditional and special uses) that have been withdrawn by the
applicant prior to and/or after the public hearing. That decision was based on the
concern that applicants were abusing the option to "withdraw" a request as a means of
gauging public sentiment, the Planning and Zoning Commission's and the City Council's
opinions of their request. By withdrawing, the applicant avoided the one-year waiting
period for denied requests. The City Attorney has determined that a "withdrawn without
prejudice" motion would avoid the one year waiting period, and, in this case, would
allow the Mills to appear before Council as soon as the issue is resolved.
