HomeMy WebLinkAboutCU2024-40TO: SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS
FROM: ALBERT L. TRIPLETT, JR. PLANNER II
DATE: JANUARY 8, 2025
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU24-40; GRAPEVINE TWENTYFOUR
99 APARTMENT GARAGES, 3701 GRAPEVINE MILLS PARKWAY
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) consider the proposed
changes to the previously approved site plan CU01-60 (Ord. 2001-97) to allow the
construction of nine detached garages, or 60 stand-alone parking garage units to the
existing apartment complex. The property is zoned “R-MF-2”, Multifamily District.
REQUEST
The applicant is seeking a revision to the previously approved site plan for the
construction of nine detached garages, totaling 60 parking spaces. The garages will
replace 71 existing surface parking spaces.
In 2001 the parking ratio for the apartment complex was 2.5 parking spaces per unit,
resulting in a requirement for 870 parking spaces for the site. The applicant proposes
reducing the required parking by 71 parking spaces, from 870 to 799 parking spaces. On
March 20, 2012, the City Council approved AM12-01 (Ord. 2012-11), which allowed off-
street parking for apartments to be reduced to two parking spaces per dwelling unit,
totaling 696 parking spaces for the subject site. With this request, the applicant proposes
to provide 799 parking spaces. The applicant has provided supplemental information to
support a reduction in required parking. This variation in required parking is being
requested through a conditional use permit.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The subject property and surrounding areas were rezoned in the 1984 City-wide rezoning,
from “L-1”, Limited Industrial District to “PID”, Planned Industrial Development District.
•On September 24, 1985, City Council approved zone change request Z85-23 (Ord.
1985-60) to rezone 19.759 acres from “PID”, Planned Industrial Development District to
“R-MF-2” Multifamily District.
•On December 18, 2001, City Council approved CU01-60 (Ord. 2001-97) to allow reduced
building separation and increased building height for a 348-unit multifamily project.

Case Name: Garages for Grapevine TwentyFour 99 Apartment Complex
Case Number: CU24-40
Location: 3601 Grapevine Mills Parkway
RE: Parking Letter for conditional use.
The purpose of this letter is to address how the parking calculations have been established on
the proposed parking count for this project.
The original parking count was calculated based on 2.5 parking spaces per unit, this was the city
requirement at the time. (348 units x 2.5 spaces/unit = 871 required parking spaces)
The proposed parking count is 823 spaces. This is less than the original requirement and the
justification for this reduction is based on the current city requirement for 2.0 parking spaces per unit.
This is the current city standard for these types of developments. (348 units x 2.0 spaces/unit = 696
required parking spaces)
This would mean that if this facility was developed today, it would only be required to have 696
parking spaces, but the project as proposed is showing 823 total spaces.
To confirm that this would not create a conflict on site, and that the use of this site does not
exceed the current city requirements; The Owner verified that there are 552 registered resident vehicles
on site. All residents are required to register their vehicles with the property. Out of the 348 units on
site, only 8 units are vacant. This shows that the registered vehicle count is not artificially low due to
vacant units.
With 552 registered vehicles at nearly full capacity, and 823 proposed spaces at completion of
this project, that provides 271 available spaces which more than covers the 8 vacant units and property
guests that may come visit a resident.
Thank you for your consideration,
