JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS 071602 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 16, 2002 0`��{ HISTORIC LANDMARK REQUEST HL02-01 — MARVIN LANGLEY HOUSE First for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Historical Landmark Request HL02-01 submitted by Grapevine Township Revitalization Project, Inc. for property located at 621 North Main Street and described as Tract 20, AF Leonard Survey, Abstract 946. The applicant was requesting a Historical Landmark Sub- district designation for the Marvin Langley House. The property is zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District and is owned by Kris Fagala. The Marvin Langley House is an example of the modest folk vernacular residences constructed in Grapevine during the 1920s -30s. The property is significant for its association with Marvin Langley, who was Grapevine's last known "night watchman." His service as a night watchman was an important function to the town before the establishment of a modern police force. Mr. Hugo Gardea, representing Grapevine Township Revitalization Project, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Gardea noted the house was recommended for approval by the Historic Preservation Committee. Mr. Brent Neff, representing the owner, spoke in opposition to the request. Mr. Neff outlined the timeframe in which purchase of the property had occurred and the Historical Landmark request had occurred. He noted the difficult circumstances and requested the application be denied. Ms Melva Stanfield, a citizen and business owner of Grapevine, spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Don Bigbee, a citizen and business owner of Grapevine, spoke in favor 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 the significance of the actual structure on this property and it was suggested the land alone could justify approval of the request. Mr. Oliver noted that without the requested guidelines in place for this property, historical value could be jeopardized. Mr. Coy questioned why the property had not been on the State's Historical properties list and Mr. Gardea then explained it had been on the list under a different address. Herb Fry moved, with a second by Rob Undersander, to approve Historic Landmark Sub -district HL02-01, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: Coy and Busbee 071602 2 P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 16, 2002 CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU02-27 — EDOHANA HIBACHI AND SUSHI Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Conditional Use Request CU02-27 submitted by Chong M. Park for property located at 1501 West State Highway 114, Suite 100, and platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Regency Center. The applicant was requesting to amend the previously approved site plan of CU01-56 (Ord. 01- 82) for a planned commercial center allowing the possession, storage, retail sale and on - premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and mixed drinks) in conjunction with a restaurant, specifically to expand the restaurant. Based on the success of the existing Edohana Hibachi and Sushi restaurant, the applicant was proposing to expand the restaurant to include the entire 7,500 square foot building located on Lot 2, Block 1, Regency Center. Because of the increased size, the restaurant will now be required to install an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with City codes. Ms. Chong Park, the owner, 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, Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to approve Conditional Use Request CU02-27, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None ZONE CHANGE REQUEST Z02-05 — MCPHERSON TOWNHOMES Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Zone Change Request Z02-05 submitted by Philip Salyer for property located at 2172 McPherson Drive and platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Clairmont Place. The applicant was requesting to rezone approximately 1.3 acres from "R -MF -2" Multifamily District to "R -MF -1" Multifamily District for a proposed ten unit condominium development. The applicant's proposal provided a density of 7.69 units per acre, which was well within the requirements of both the existing and proposed multifamily districts. The primary reason for the zone change request was to allow for a smaller front yard setback. The existing "R -MF - 2" Multifamily District required a minimum forty -foot front yard, and if approved, the "R -MF -1" Multifamily District would allow for a minimum thirty-foot front yard setback. A variance application associated with this request would be considered by the Board of Zoning Adjustment for a variance to the minimum lot size requirement of two acres within the "R -MF -1" Multifamily District. 071602 3 P & Z JOINT PUBLICHEARING JULY • 2002 Terry Cunningham, the architect, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no further guests to speak, two letters of protest, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, there was consideration regarding the ambiguity of the wording of the landscape setback. B. J. Nicholson moved, with a second by Michael Crapp, to approve the first reading of Zone Change Request Z02-05, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Nicholson, and Crapp Nays: Undersander AMENDMENTS TO APPENDIX D COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE NO 82-73, AS AMENDED SECTION 23, LIMITED BUSINESS DISTRICT SECTION 24 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SECTION 25 COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SECTION 26 HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT SECTION 27, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT SECTION 31, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AND SECTION 32, BUSINESS PARK DISTRICT, RELATIVE TO ONE FLOOR LEVEL HEIGHT LIMITATIONS WHEN ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS Next for the Commission to consider were Amendments to Appendix D, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended, Section 23, Limited Business District, Section 24, Neighborhood Commercial District, Section 25, Community Commercial District, Section 26, Highway Commercial District, Section 27, Professional Office District, Section 31, Light Industrial District and Section 32, Business Park District, relative to one floor level height limitations when adjacent to residential districts. The zoning ordinance limited development within the above referenced districts to one floor level and a specified height when such development is proposed adjacent to a residential zoning district. The intention for this requirement has always been to limit these developments to one floor level; however, as written, the ordinance has proven to be misleading. For instance, the "CC" Community Commercial District specifies that structures adjacent to single-family residential districts "...shall not exceed one (1) floor level or twenty- five (25) feet in height." The use of the word 'or' has led some to believe that a second floor or loft can be incorporated into the structure as long as the structure is twenty-five feet in height or less. Replacing the word 'or' with the word `and' should clarify that the floor level and height limitations are applied cumulatively. Staff has drafted an amendment to Neighborhood Commercial District, 26.1, Highway Commercial District, 071602 Section 23.1, Limited Business District, Section 24.1, Section 25.1, Community Commercial District, Section Section 27.1, Professional Office District, Section 31.1, Ell P & Z JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 16, 2002 Light Industrial District and Section 32.1, Business Park District to clarify that development adjacent to residential districts shall not exceed one floor level and a specified height. 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 Kevin Busbee, to approve the proposed Amendments AM02-04. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Nicholson, Undersander, and Crapp Nays: None FINAL PLAT APPLICATION OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1, GARZA ADDITION Next for the Commission to consider was the Statement of Findings and Final Plat Application of Lot 1, Block 1, Garza Addition submitted by Ruben Garza for property located north of Redbud Lane. The applicant was final platting 0.79 acres for renovations and additions on an existing building. The property is zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District and is owned by Mr. Ruben Garza.
