SUBJECT PROPERTY PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE 200 FOOT NOTIFICATION AREA 1 Lindsay Carey From:Aaron Skiles < > Sent:Monday, September 16, 2024 1:27 PM To:Planning Services Subject:Grace Housing - 421 E Worth St. *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** City Council, My name is Glenda Fisher and I am the owner of the duplex at 502 and 504 E. Worth St. in Grapevine. I was recently made aware of the intention of Grace to buy the apartments caddy corner to my property and to turn those apartments into a rehabilitation facility for those with alcohol/drug addiction issues. I am vehemently against this proposal and am shocked that the city of Grapevine would entertain such a request. I cannot comprehend why such a facility would be permitted in Historic Grapevine and I will outline my sound reasons for this opinion below. 1. Grapevine Faith Middle School is two blocks from these apartments. So we want to allow drug addicts and junkies to be within 500-1000 feet of a school. This is insanity on the most basic level. I would hope I don’t have to explain to the City Council why having children next to criminals is a terrible idea. Children walk past these apartments every day on their way to and from school. Would you want your children to encounter the type of person who lives in those apartments? 2. Property values in Historic Grapevine will plummet if this is allowed to happen. It is completely unfair that it takes an act of Congress for us, property owners, to make changes to our homes because of the City’s regulations regarding the historic district, yet the City Council would consider allowing the dregs of society to infiltrate our city and indiscriminately devalue our property. Would you want to live next to this facility? 3. Grapevine, specifically near Main Street, is a walkable city. And it is a walkable city at all times; day, night, whenever. Men, women, children, and their pets feel safe to walk the streets at all hours due to the culture that exists in Grapevine. This will not exist if such a facility is permitted to come to fruition. These types of facilities are not inherently bad; however, they must exist in communities where it culturally makes sense. Grapevine is not one of these communities. These facilities bring the issues that come with addiction; weapons, drugs, violence, and unrest. There is no place for this in our city. 4. Allowing this facility in Grapevine will lead to increased safety issues. Grapevine is composed of citizens who support the right to protect what is theirs. Currently, there is no need for additional measures in order for residents to protect their property and their well being. However, if the City Council welcomes in what is essentially a halfway house, residents will feel their security is threatened. And the means they may use to secure their property and well-being may be unfavorable to the image that Grapevine would like to portray. In closing, it is not even fathomable how such a facility could be allowed in our city. This proposal must be struck down immediately and with prejudice. The very fabric of what makes Grapevine the community 2 it is rests solely with the residents who inhabit it. If you allow the community to be compromised, the social construct, and the accompanying revenue that comes with it, will be decimated. Please feel free to reach out to me regarding any questions and concerns. I trust that the wisdom of the City Council will prevail.

Worth St. My name is Kevin McNamara and I have been a small business owner here in Grapevine for almost 10 years! Grapevine has always impressed me with the way the City partners with its citizens, local agencies and non profits. The mentorship program Grace will be providing at this proposed location is a great opportunity to reach those deserving of growth opportunities. This approval, I might add, changes, out of state ownership of this property to local ownership. This property will be owned by GRACE, who has a long standing relationship in our great city and will continue this relationship by improving this property! I am passionate about GRACE and its mission. This mentorship program is a tough program to get in to. The clients who qualify are truly ready to put in the work, and highly vetted. I am proud to bring to your attention that our current mentorship program has had 2 calls to the PD over the last 6 years for domestic disturbance or domestic violence. In comparison to the property Grace is proposing to purchase there were 50 calls in 6 years. Striking difference. These clients have a 2 year stringent program where they grow their financial literacy. They are safe, supported, and given the tools to succeed and become financially independent. Those that have walked in those shoes before, from graduating the program, come back to encourage and help the next one in line. It is beyond exciting the see the ripple effect of this and the positive impact in our community. Thank you for your support of GRACE in the past, and I ask you continue to support by approving this Conditional Use Permit. Regards, Kevin McNamara Wise Guys Pizzeria 322 S.

Our City has done an amazing job making it a desired area to live and visit with increasing property values and lots of desirable things to do and places to visit.

A non-profit organization for supportive housing is a euphemism for homeless shelter, and this type of housing has no place in a family neighborhood which has also been deemed a historic township. I moved to Grapevine from Los Angeles County in California seven years ago so I have witnessed the degradation of communities when seemingly well meaning non-profit entities partner with local government officials who both stand to gain financially through federal and state grants and subsidies. I would have never believed that our trusted, elected officials in this city would even entertain this idea. I live less than two blocks away from the proposed site. I am concerned for the safety and sanctity of my neighborhood as well as the negative impact such a project will surely have on property values well beyond the neighbors who live less than 200 feet away from 421 East Worth Street. Already, I have seen a huge influx of transient individuals roam the neighborhood on their way from the train station to GRACE. One such individual asked me for money to buy drugs while I was working in my yard. This proposed site, as well as other apartment buildings in the area, are eyesores. City officials have allowed these apartment homes to be neglected by the owners when homeowners are held to the highest of standards in property maintenance, including to adhering to strict historic guidelines. Let me be clear, I place no blame on the tenants, but with the amoral landlords of these properties. This double standard is antithetical. I personally know of two local, well established property developers who proposed plans to re-imagine this site in accordance with community aesthetics, and I am at a loss as to why the city of Grapevine may opt for this regretful decision instead. Perhaps GRACE has the best of intentions, but the long term effects of homeless shelters would be devastating to this quaint neighborhood. 2 Heidi Soto 705 East Texas Street Grapevine, TX 76051 1 Lindsay Carey From:Amy Kirchhoff < > Sent:Monday, September 16, 2024 11:39 AM To:Planning Services Subject:CU24-36: GRACE Housing *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** As a Property Owner in the neighborhood (324 Ruth St) and an interested citizen, I have the following comments: If this is housing for mothers and children (for example: teen moms, substance abuse recovery, or domestic abuse survivors - MOTHERS ONLY), I support the initiative. However, if anyone here has been convicted of any crime above a misdemeanor or if it’s transitional housing for men, I do not support the intiative. Also, I do not support any version of a half-way house. If there is a guanantee that all adults in the building will be screened for this, then okay. There are children walking all over this neighborhood. It is a place for tourists as well as homeowners who moved here for peaceful Main St. American safety. Personally, we did not move from Dallas/Bishop Arts to experience more of the same initiatives here. Police cars. The smell of weed. Too many vehicles for one unit. Litter. Fear of child predators. Anything that hints at this is a hard no for my family. On the other hand, a peaceful, well-managed place for mothers and their YOUNG children to recover from life events is a risk I’m willing to take as there is not enough help in our systems for them. 1 Lindsay Carey From:Debi Meek < > Sent:Monday, September 16, 2024 2:32 PM To:Lindsay Carey Subject:421 E Worth-Opposition to Rezoning Application for Grace *** EXTERNAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION - PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE CLICKING LINKS AND/OR OPENING ATTACHMENTS *** Debi Meek 1025 Brownstone Drive Grapevine, Texas 76051 817-800-0804 9-16-24 City Council Subject: Opposition to Rezoning Application for Grace Supportive Housing in the Grapevine Historic District Dear City Council, As a historic, commercial building owner on Main Street for over 26 years, I strongly believe that the supportive housing should be developed in areas where the infrastructure is better suited for higher-density residential use.

CU24-36 AUGUST 26, 2024 GRACE HOUSING 421 EAST WORTH STREET LOT 2, JOHN TRIGG SUBDIVISION 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: CU24-36.4 3 Map 2: Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Master Plan designates the subject property 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. /ng R i d i n g e r A s s o c i a t e s , I n c .
