HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 07 - Grace Housing TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, PLANNING SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2024
SUBJECT: PLANNING SERVICES TECHNICAL REPORT OF CONDITIONAL
USE APPLICATION CU24-36; GRACE HOUSING
APPLICANT: Jason Kilpatrick – Ridinger Associates,
Inc.
PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE:
The subject property is located at 421 East Worth
Street platted as Lot 2, John Trigg Subdivision. The
site contains approximately 1.187 acres and has
approximately 229 feet of frontage along East Worth
Street and 234 feet of frontage along Dooley Street.
REQUESTED CONDITIONAL USE AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a non-profit organization for
supportive housing and an outdoor playground as part of a mentorship program with
GRACE.
The subject site was developed in 1972 as a 32-unit multifamily development. The
applicant is requesting to allow a non-profit (GRACE) to utilize the existing property as
living accommodations for a two-year mentorship program for participants. Each vetted
occupant will participate in stringent and monitored mentorship while working and/ or
attending educational opportunities as well as have access to other GRACE programs that
support self-sufficiency. The site consists of:
• Three buildings adjacent to the west property line that share a roof and are
connected by two breezeway stairwells; and
• Four buildings adjacent to the east property line, two of which share a roof and are
connected by a breezeway stairwell.
CU24-36.4 2
With this request, the applicant is also proposing a 400 square foot playground in the
northwest corner of the property. The site has existing access along East Worth Street and
features 48 parking spaces for residents. No exterior changes are being proposed as part
of this request.
If approved, this will be the first reading of an ordinance given the subject site requires
approval for special exceptions to allow the existing residential dwellings to remain as
developed along with encroachments into the front and rear yard setbacks, to exceed
maximum impervious area, a reduction in required parking, and to allow vehicle parking
within the required front yard adjacent to the south property line. This item will be heard
before the Board of Zoning Adjustment at their October 7, 2024, meeting. If approved by
the Board, the second reading will take place at the joint City Council and Planning and
Zoning October 15, 2024, meeting.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned “R-7.5”, Single-Family District and is developed as a 32-unit
apartment complex.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject site was zoned “R-3”, Multiple-Family Dwelling District prior to the 1984 City-
wide Rezoning at which time the subject site was rezoned to “R-7.5”, Single-Family District.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: “R-7.5”, Single Family District – Rawls & Dalton Subdivision
SOUTH: “R-7.5”, Single Family District – Yates & Jenkins Addition and Original
Town of Grapevine
EAST: “R-7.5”, Single Family District – College Heights Addition
WEST: “R-7.5”, Single Family District – Original Town of Grapevine
AIRPORT IMPACT:
The subject tract is located within “Zone A” zone of minimal effect as defined on the
“Aircraft Sound Exposure: Dallas Fort Worth Regional Airport Environs” map. Few activities
will be affected by aircraft sounds in Zone A except for sound sensitive activities such as
auditoriums, churches, schools, hospitals, and theaters. The applicant’s proposal is an
appropriate use in this noise zone.
MASTER PLAN APPLICATION:
Map 2: Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Master Plan designates the subject property
CU24-36.4 3
as a Residential Low Intensity (RL) land use. The applicant’s proposal is not compliant with
the Master Plan.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN APPLICATION:
The City of Grapevine’s Thoroughfare Plan designates East Dooley Street as a Type E,
Collector with a minimum 75-foot right-of-way developed as 4 lanes. The City of
Grapevine’s Thoroughfare Plan does not designate East Worth Street.
