codes. Mr. Hodge explained the City has employed a new Traffic Engineer, Ramana
Chinnakotla, who deals specifically with Traffic issues. Once the established codes
are met, the Engineering Department checks the following criteria:
a. Traffic impacts
b. Access
C. On site circulation (including visibility triangles)
It was explained that before a case is presented at a public hearing, all traffic issues
must be studied with any problems resolved. Mr. Hodge further explained that
drainage issues are examined by the drainage inspector to ensure any problems are
resolved prior to a public hearing of the case.
Finally, Mr. Hodge updated the Commissioners and City Councilman on the status of
development projects with which the Public Works Department is currently involved.
No action was taken.
ITEM B: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS
AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 20, "R-TH", TOWNHOUSE DISTRICT AND TAKE
ANY NECESSARY ACTION
Next for the Commission to consider were the proposed changes to Section 20, "R-
TH", Townhouse District. Section 20.H of the zoning ordinance refers to buffer area
standards for sites zoned "R-TH" Townhouse District that are located adjacent to a
developed residential property. The ordinance specifically calls out all residential
districts in the City with the exception of "R-5.0" Zero Lot -Line District. This district
should have been included in the list of residential districts, but was excluded
through clerical error. Staff is proposing to amend Section 20.H to include the "R-
5.0" Zero Lot -Line District in the list of residential districts as was originally intended.
The following is the proposed change to Section 20:
H. BUFFER AREA REGULATIONS: Whenever an R-TH Townhouse
development is located adjacent to a developed residential district (R-20,
R-12.5, R-7.5, R-5.0, R-3.75, R -MF -1, R -MF -2) or a non-residential
district, without any division such as a dedicated public street, park or
permanent open space, all principal buildings or structures shall be set-
back a minimum of forty (40) feet from the adjoining property line. The
setback area shall contain appropriate landscape improvements, fencing,
berms, or trees in accordance with Alternate A, B, or E, in Section 50, to
adequately buffer adjoining uses.
Kevin Busbee moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to bring forth to public
hearing the Amendment to Section 20, "R-TH" Townhouse District, and the motion
prevailed by the following vote:

ITEM C: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS
AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 27 "PO", PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT AND
TAKE ANY NECESSARY ACTION
Next for the Commission to consider was the proposed amendments to Section 27,
"PO" Professional Office District.
Mr. Steve Isbell had submitted a letter requesting the Planning and Zoning
Commission consider amending Section 27, "PO", Professional Office District
regulations of the City of Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The
requested amendment would allow Planned Office Centers as a conditional use in
the Professional Office District. Given that current "PO" districts range in size from
2,507 square feet to 7,210,638 square feet, Staff is recommending that the minimum
district size for a planned commercial center located within the "PO" district be two
(2) acres.
Following are the proposed changes:
> CONDITIONAL USES:
1. Restaurants, including alcoholic beverage sales provided a special
permit is issued in accordance with Section 42.B. of the Ordinance.
Drive-in and drive-through restaurants shall not be allowed.
2. Funeral homes and mortuaries.
3. Personal Care Facilities.

service.

Each lot or parcel of land created within a Planned Commercial Center

Nays: None
ITEM D: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS
AMENDMENTS TO FUTURE LAND USE MAP II AND TAKE ANY NECESSARY
ACTION
Next for the Commission to consider were the proposed changes to the Future Land
Use Map II to bring land use designations into compliance with recent zoning
changes.
Since the Comprehensive Master Plan was last updated, development trends within
the City have diverged from those envisioned. This proposed update will correct
those discrepancies noted between the current zoning/development of these sites
and their land use designations as shown on the Future Land Use map.
Many of the sites on which the zoning designation does not correspond with the
t Master Plan are sites that have rezoned to the "GU", Government Use District for the
development of parks and schools. Likewise, development along the Dallas Road
p g
corridor has deviated from the commercial development anticipated for this area and
has been developed with warehouse uses. Much of the new development has
required a change in zoning from "CC" Community Commercial District to "U" Light
Industrial District. Conversely, the proposed planned industrial development along
William D. Tate Avenue has not materialized. Instead, the development in this area
has been commercial development.
Additionally, future development south of Northwest Highway and north of the
railroad is expected to be of a commercial nature due to the proximity of Opryland
(Exhibit D). Currently these sites are designated as Industrial uses on the Future
Land Use Map. Staff recommends that the Commercial designation be applied to
this area in order to accommodate the anticipated future commercial development of
these sites. Due to the large number of zoning cases affected by the change, this
amendment will be broken up into three separate public hearings when it goes
before the City Council.
Danette Murray moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to bring forth to Public
Hearing the proposed changes to the Future Land Use Map, II. The motion prevailed
by the following vote:

Nays: None
ITEM E: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS
AMENDMENTS TO ALL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS RELATIVE TO BUFFER AREA
REGULATIONS AND TAKE ANY NECESSARY ACTION
Next for the Commission to consider was the proposed amendments to all
residential districts relative to buffer area regulations.
During the Planning and Zoning Commission's deliberation session for Zone Change
Request Z02-05, McPherson Townhomes, a question arose as to whether or not
parking, drives and other vehicular uses were appropriate in the required buffer
area. The ordinance, as it is currently written, is vague on this topic. A sentence was
added to the paragraph specifically eliminating parking and/or driving lanes from
being located in the buffer area.
The following changes were proposed:
H. BUFFER AREA REGULATIONS: Whenever an R -MF -1 District
is located adiacent to an existing or zoned residential district or lower
density development without any division such as a dedicated public
street park or permanent open space all principal buildings or
structures shall be set back a minimum of forty (40) feet from the
adioininq property line The setback area shall contain appropriate
landscape improvements,_fencing, berms or trees to adequately buffer
adioininq uses Off-street parking and/or driving lanes shall not be
located in this buffer area.
Mr. Fry noted that with such changes there might arise new problems, especially
inhibiting new development. Mr. Coy stated the purpose of the proposed change
was to clarify the term "buffer" and therefore lessen the chance of misunderstanding.
Chris Coy made a motion, with a second by Rob Undersander, to bring forward to
public hearing the proposed Amendments to all Residential Disticts relative to buffer
areas, and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Murray, Nicholson, and Undersander
Nays: None
ITEM F: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DISCUSS
AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMISSION BYLAWS RELATIVE TO CONFLICT OF
INTEREST AND ALTERNATE MEMBER PARTICIPATION AND TAKE ANY
NECESSARY ACTION
Wk102302 6
P & Z WORKSHOP MINUTES
OCTOBER 23, 2002
49 Currently, the Planning and Zoning Commission Bylaws make no reference to
actions that need to be taken by a Commission member when a conflict of interest
arises. Based on the City Attorney's recommendation, a paragraph has been added
to the Bylaws to give specific details on how a conflict of interest scenario should be
handled.
A paragraph has also been added to the Commission Bylaws based on the City
Attorney's recommendation relative to Alternate member participation. The basic
premise is that alternate members should refrain from discussing any issues relative
to a case unless the alternate member will be a voting member sitting in place of a
regular member.
The proposed changes were as follows:
(Part 1)
Section 19-35
(g) Conflict of interest. Any member of the Commission having a conflict
of interest as provided for in the Texas Local Government code shall not
be eligible to vote. Any member of the Commission, regular or alternate,
who has a conflict of interest in a matter before the Commission as that
term is defined under State law, City Ordinance, or anv other applicable
law, shall not vote thereon at any meeting or hearing at which said
matter is under consideration and shall recuse him or herself from
participation in such matter. Members who have such a conflict of
interest may represent their interests before the Commission only upon
recusal from all participation a member of the Commission during such
meeting where that item is considered.
If any regular or alternate member of the Commission shall recuse him
or herself from voting on anv item(s), such member should remove
themselves from the dais and should be seated with the audience or
leave the room. An alternate member or members shall than take the
place of the recused member(s) for consideration of the items for which
the member recused him or herself. The designation of such alternate
member shall be noted in the record.
And Section 19-36.
(fl Alternate member participation. Alternate members should refrain
from discussing issues involved with cases, unless such alternate
member is sitting in place of a reqular member who is absent or who
has recused him or herself from participation
Mr. Matthew Boyle briefed the Commissioners on the Rules and Regulations as they
relate to Alternate participation and conflicts of interest. Mr. Boyle discussed several

issues including:
a. When there is a non participating member, a replacement may be made at
the Chairman's discretion.
b. Alternates may not influence the Commission when they are not
participating inclusive of the Briefing Sessions.
Additional proposed changes included several clerical errors to be corrected within
the Bylaws
Chris Coy moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, to bring forward to a public
hearing the proposed Bylaw Amendments, Part I first paragraph only and Part 11, as
well as correction of the clerical errors, and the motion prevailed by the following
