FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION CU25-27; FORTIFIED FILM
SOULUTIONS (SECOND READING)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve Conditional Use Application CU25-27 on the
second reading of an ordinance, and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND:
Conditional Use Request CU25-27 was submitted by Skylar Lyle, Baird Hampton and
Brown, and approved on the first reading of an ordinance by City Council at the August
19, 2025 meeting. The request was to allow for the application and installation of paint
protection film and window film (window tinting) in conjunction with a proposed business.
The subject property is developed with two single story, 80,054 square foot warehouse -
office buildings on a 279,220 square foot (6.41 acres) lot. The applicant intends to use an
existing, 8,422 sq. ft. lease space for window tinting and paint protection film installation.
All installations will take place indoors and all vehicles will be in working condition. Total
required parking is 46 spaces. Ninety-five (95) spaces are provided.
The applicant sought approval of a special exception from the Board of Zoning Adjustment
relative to allowing the building and site to remain as developed, as the site is not compliant
with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the existing minimum open space, maximum
impervious area, uninterrupted 25-foot landscaped front yard, and landscape
requirements. The Board approved the special exception requests at their September 8,
2025 meeting.

Re: CUP Narrative — Vehicle Paint Protection Services shop at 1240 Texan Trail
To Whom It May Concern,
3801 William D. Tate Ave., Suite 500
Grapevine, Texas 76051
817.251.8550
This narrative supports our request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the operation of a "vehicle paint
protection service shop" at the existing warehouse located at 1240 Texan Trail, currently zoned Light Industrial (LI).
The proposed business will offer protective film services for automotive, residential, marine, ATV, and aviation
applications, including paint protection film, window tint, and ceramic coatings.
Key Benefits of the Proposed Use:
1. The vehicle paint protection services are a low -impact, service -oriented use that aligns with the objectives
of Light Industrial Zoning.
2. Operations will not include bodywork or mechanical repairs. Primary activities involve the hand -application
of protective coatings, detailing, and curing. Processes that generate minimal noise, odors, or emissions.
3. Business hours will be Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Customer visits will be by appointment
only, with an average of 3-5 vehicles serviced daily. Existing parking exceeds the expected demand.
4. This shop will provide a specialized automotive service currently lacking in the Grapevine area.
The existing site was approved in 1983, prior to the adoption of the current zoning ordinance, and does not meet
all present-day development criteria. As such, we are also requesting a Special Exception for the facility in addition
to the requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The attached site plan(s) identifies specific areas where the site does
not conform to current zoning standards. While bringing the entire property into full compliance is impractical, the
proposed use remains functionally compatible with the surrounding area. The Special Exception would allow
continued operation under existing conditions.
I am available to provide an further information please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns
at 682-348-3267 o
Sincerely,
Baird, Hampton & Brown Baird, Hampton & Brown :a*5 Ivi
