ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z01-14 — CITY OF GRAPEVINE
Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was
Zone Change Request Z01-14 submitted by The City of Grapevine for property located in
the area served by Jones, Starnes, Brewer, and Washington Streets and Turner Road. The
entire area is comprised of approximately 13.06 acres. The applicant was requesting to
rezone 1.24 acres from "R -MF -1" Multifamily District to "GU" Government Use District to
bring the site into compliance with the current use as housing for the Grapevine Housing
Authority and 11.82 acres from "R -MF -1" Multifamily District to "R-5.0" Zero -Lot -Line District
for single family home development.
The "Hill" area is a patchwork of mostly small, non -platted lots used for single family
purposes. Currently zoned "R -MF -1" Multifamily District, no parcel within this area is capable
of meeting the development guidelines established for the district. At the April 17, 2001
meeting, Council approved the rezoning of a 0,81 acre tract at the southwest corner of
Dooley Street and Turner Road to "R-5.0" Zero Lot Line District. Since that time, Staff has
received a rezoning request for four more parcels in this area and has discussed the
rezoning of eight additional tracts.
Mr. Tommy Hardy, representing the City Of Grapevine, was present to answer questions
and request favorable consideration of the request.
Mr. Richard Pemberton, a citizen, spoke in favor of the request stating this was a positive
step towards rehabilatation of the neighborhood.
Mr. Nathan Hight, a business owner within the designated property, spoke in protest of the
request stating when he believed the requested zoning would decrease the property value.
Ms Lisa McCollum, a citizen, spoke in favor of the request stating the changes would be a
positive influence on the neighborhood.
With no further guests to speak, seven letters of protest, and no petitions, the public hearing
was closed.
In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the difficulty for
improvements on property at this time. B. J. Nicholson moved, with a second by Rob
Undersander, to approve the Zone Change Request Z01-14. The motion prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp
Nays: None

A. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 60, SIGN STANDARDS RELATIVE TO
ADDING CORPORATE FLAGS TO THE LIST OF FLAGS THAT ARE
EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE
First for the Commission to consider were amendments to Section 60, Sign
Standards relative to adding corporate flags to the list of flags that are exempt
from the requirements of the sign ordinance.
Currently, Section 60.E.1.a of the Sign Standards Ordinance specifies that
"[fllags, or emblems of a government or of a political, civic, philanthropic,
educational or religious organization" are exempt from the provisions of
Wk092501 1
P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 25, 2001
Section 60 provided they are displayed on private property. Corporate flags
are excluded from the types of flags that can be displayed within the City. As
Grapevine's industrial and corporate base has developed and grown, it has
become apparent that this omission is problematic to corporations wishing to
locate within Grapevine. The use of corporate flags on the grounds of large
industrial and corporate facilities have become an inherent and important part
of the corporate identity. As such, staff is recommending that Section 60 of
the sign ordinance be amended to include corporate flags in the list of exempt
flags with the added provision that when a corporate flag is displayed on
private property it must be accompanied by both the national flag and the
state flag.
There was a suggestion that the size limitations be analyzed further such that
no corporate flag be allowed to exceed that of the American flag. it was also
agreed that one flag with the accompanying American flag and State flag
would be allowed per lot. Standard flag etiquette verbage should also be
included. Finally, it was suggested the term "corporate" may need to be
qualified with "business corporate."
The Commission tabled the item for revisions until the following workshop.
B. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 24, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT SECTION 25 COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT,
SECTION 26 HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, SECTION27,
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT, SECTION 29 HOTEL/CORPORATE
OFFICE DISTRICT AND SECTION 32, BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT,
RELATIVE TO REQUIRING THAT ALL BANKS WITH DRIVE-THROUGH
WINDOWS ARE ALLOWED ONLY UPON APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT
Next for the Commission to consider were the amendments to Section 24,
Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25, Community Commercial
District, Section 26, Highway Commercial District, Section 27, Professional
Office District, Section 29, Hotel/Corporate Office District and Section 32,
Business Park District, relative to requiring that all banks with drive-through
windows are allowed only upon approval of a conditional use permit.
On August 21, 2001, the final plat application and concept plan for Lot 1,
Block 1, First American Bank was approved by the Commission and Council.
At that time concerns were raised regarding the appropriateness of allowing a
bank with drive-through service to be located adjacent to a residentially zoned
district. It was felt that a drive-through, when located adjacent to a residential
neighborhood, might be too intrusive and as such, should undergo the same
scrutiny as other businesses wanting to provide drive-through service. In
Wk092501 2
P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 25, 2001
(19 response to these concerns, staff has drafted an amendment to Section 24.C,
Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25.C, Community Commercial
District, Section 26.C, Highway Commercial District, Section 27.C,
Professional Office District, Section 29.C, Hotel/Corporate Office District and
Section 32.C, Business Park District requiring all financial institutions that
provide drive-through service to obtain a conditional use permit.
There was discussion regarding drive-through cases considered with this
change to be limited to include only financial institutions. It was determined
that any use related to a drive-through service would be included in the
amendment wording. Also discussed were issues regarding districts not
affected by the proposed change. After consideration, the Commission
decided to only include "LB" Limited Business District, "CN" Neighborhood
Commercial District, and "PO" Professional Office Districts.
With these changes, Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to
enact a public hearing regarding the amendments to Section 24,
Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 23, Limited Business District, and
Section 27, Professional Office District. The motion prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander,
Nays: None
C. OUTSIDE DISPLAY OF MERCHANDISE ALONG SOUTH MAIN STREET
Next for the Commission to consider was outside display of merchandise
along South Main Street. Throughout the year Staff receives requests from
merchants in the downtown area asking to display merchandise outside their
storefronts. The area encompassing Main Street is zoned "CBD" Central
Business District; outside display and sales of merchandise in the "CBD"
Central Business District is not permitted therefore said requests have been
denied. It has been suggested by several merchants in the downtown area,
that a tasteful outside display of merchandise could improve sidewalk appeal
and encourage walk-in traffic along Main Street thus allowing businesses in
the area to thrive.
Staff has identified the following points as areas for specific consideration in
generating a policy governing outside display along Main Street:
• Permitted display merchandise/prohibited merchandise
Established display areas
Wk092501 3
Ea a • a
Rq WA UWT SM.
• Display requirements
• Enforcement
Permitted display merchandise/prohibited merchandise
Although it would be impractical to develop a complete list of permitted items
allowed for display, a short list of items permitted would provide guidance to
those considering displaying merchandise outside their storefronts.
Suggested permitted items could include:
• Flowers and plants
• Produce, baked goods, and foods in containers i.e. cans or glass
• Handcrafted products and goods
• Art related items including pottery
• Books
• Clothing on a mannequin or prop
• Other merchandise deemed acceptable by the Main Street Outside
Display Committee
Examples of items prohibited from outside display:
• All mattress, bedding, and furniture related merchandise
• Shoes
• Clothing not on a mannequin/prop i.e. folded clothes
• Any type of vending machine
• Pornography
• Tires and automotive related items
• Live animals
• Any item that may pose a public health hazard i.e. those items that can
possible explode, be excessively flammable etc.
Established display areas
Chapter 20, Streets, Sidewalks and other Public Ways, of the Grapevine
Code of Ordinances provides for a maximum two -foot space for the length of
the property line for merchants to occupy with signs, samples or other
articles. It would seem appropriate not to allow blockage of any
entrances/exits from which the building display is associated nor to allow said
displays to encroach upon other business storefronts. Businesses should not
be allowed to "transfer" their display area to other merchants.
Display requirements
Wk092501 4
P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 25, 2001
19 It is recommended that all items for display should be in good condition with
no visible signs of needed repair and should not be wrapped in plastic or
other wrapping materials. The display of items should not be placed in such a
manner as to obscure or substantially block the view of the store or any
existing window displays. Display devices such as cardboard boxes or fold -
up tables should not be allowed. Items should be displayed on appropriate
racks/tables that coordinate with the storefront's fagade. Display of items
should be allowed only during business hours. The securing of racks/displays
outside the business after working hours should not be allowed.
Enforcement
Staff recommends the establishment of a committee tasked with reviewing
applications for outside display that if approved will require annual renewal.
This committee, the Main Street Outside Display Committee or something
more appropriately named, could be comprised of the following members:
• Director of Development Services
• Planning and Zoning Commissioner
• Council representative to the Planning and Zoning Commission
• Member of the Historic Preservation Commission
• Member of the Historic Grapevine Downtown Association
An application fully describing the applicant's intent as well as an exhibit
showing the location of the storefront and the layout of the displayed
merchandise should be required. Staff also recommends that an
"Indemnification, Release, and Hold Harmless Agreement" be required
releasing the City from any liability for personal injury or property damage that
results from the display of merchandise outside of the applicant's storefront.
There was discussion regarding the enforcement of such changes and the
difficulties, which could arise from the review process and procedures. It was
determined that the Commission would not consider such changes at this
time.
No action was taken.
D. AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 67 AMENDMENTS RELATIVE TO FEES
FOR CONDITIONAL/SPECIAL USE APPLICATIONS FOR PREVIOUSLY
ESTABLISHED PLANNED COMMERCIAL CENTERS
Wk092501 5
P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES
SEPTEMBER 25, 2001
Next for the Commission to consider were amendments to Section 67,
amendments relative to fees for conditional/special use applications for
previously established planned commercial centers.
Currently Staff requires the full fee ($500.00 for the first acre and $25.00 per
acre for each additional acre or part thereof) for all conditional/special uses
and zone changes and for any amendments to previously approved
conditional/special uses. To establish a planned commercial center a
minimum five acres is required thus establishing a minimum fee of $600.00.
Any subsequent revision to the approved site plan requires a submittal fee of
a minimum of $600.00. For planned commercial centers in excess of five
acres the submittal fee can become quite substantial. Our largest established
planned commercial center—the Grapevine Mills Mall—is comprised of 171
acres which translates into a fee of $4750.00 each time the Mills modifies
their previously approved plan. Whether it is a simple floor plan modification
or a new out -parcel development, the full $4750.00 fee has been required.
Staff has received a number of complaints from applicants that this fee
structure is excessive. In an attempt to address applicants' concerns
associated with the current established fee structure while ensuring that fees
are adequate to cover the expenses incurred by the City when processing
these requests (e.g. advertising, property owner notices, etc.), Staff
recommends the following amendment to Section 67, Amendments:
For established planned commercial centers in excess of five (5) acres,
the application fee for conditional/special uses shall be determined as
follows:
• For interior modifications relative to established structures
regardless of the size of said structure, the fee shall be $500.00.
• For new construction with an established legally described
property boundary the fee shall be based solely on the size of
said legally described property which shall be calculated as
follows: $500.00 for the first acres and an additional $25.00 per
acre or part thereof.
• For any modifications to the approved plan for an established
planned commercial center that effects or is relative to the entire
planned commercial center, the fee shall be based upon the size,
in acres, of the entire center.
Commissioner's stated in summary, that this issue was a city concern and the
would ultimately be the City's decision. Therefore since there were no
Wk092501 6

SEPTEMBER 25, 2001
objections, Chris Coy moved, with a second by Herb Fry, to bring forward to
public hearing the Amendments to Section 67 relative to fees for
conditional/special use applications for previously established planned
commercial centers. The motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander
Nays: None

With no further business to discuss, Danette Murray moved, with a second by Herb
