MEMORANDUM PLANNING SERVICES
MEMO TO: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT
FROM: ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR, PLANNING SERVICES
ALBERT L. TRIPLETT, JR., PLANNER II
SUBJECT: BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT CASE #BZA25-08A &
BZA25-08B
304 NORTH DOVE ROAD
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2025
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject site is a portion of a platted 28,400 square-foot (0.6512-acre) lot located in the
W.C. Lucas Addition. The lot was originally developed in 1940 and platted in July 1951,
prior to the adoption of the city's first zoning ordinance in 1955. Although the residence was
constructed in 1940, the lot was later split by deed in 2012, resulting in a non-conforming
remainder, described as the south 80.15 feet of Block 7, Lot 7 of the W.C. Lucas Addition.
The site was rezoned from “R-1”, Single-Family Dwelling District to “R-7.5”, Single-Family
District in the 1984 City-wide Rezoning.
The application was submitted by Stephen Moody, the property owner.
REQUEST:
The applicant intends to renovate the interior of the existing 886 square foot residential
dwelling, including the replacement of windows and doors, and is requesting the following
variances (Case No. BZA25-08A) from the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
No. 82-73, for the subject site:
Subsection 15.F.2., Lot Size of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District, which requires a
minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a
minimum lot area of 7,498 square feet.
Subsection 15.G.4., Minimum Lot Width of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a minimum lot width of 95 feet for reverse frontage lots. The applicant is
requesting a variance to allow a minimum lot width of 80 feet.
Subsection 15.G.5., Minimum Lot Depth of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a minimum lot depth of 100 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to
allow a minimum lot depth of 95 feet along the north property line and minimum lot depth of
80 feet along the south property line.
The reverse frontage lot regulations have been in effect since the adoption of the 1970
Zoning Ordinance and were carried forward in the 1982 Zoning Ordinance, both of which
were adopted after the filing of the warranty deed that established the remainder of the
original lot. The subject site is a reverse frontage lot (see diagram below) which requires
Agenda Item #
BZA25-08A & B.4 2
30-foot front and side yard setbacks found in Subsection 42.D., Corner Lots of Section
42, Supplementary District Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. This subsection states
that corner lots, for the side yard on the street side, when the rear yard of a lot backs up to
a front yard of an adjoining lot, both lots shall have the same setback as the required front
yard.
Reverse Frontage Lot Example:
The following special exception is requested:
Subsection 15.F.6., Minimum Floor Area of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a minimum floor area of 1,200 square feet. The existing residential structure
is approximately 886 square feet in area.
Subsection 15.G.1., Depth of Front yard of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a front yard depth of 30 feet. The existing residential structure is
approximately 22 feet from the west property line and encroaches approximately 8-feet into
the required front yard setback.
Subsection 15.J., Off-Street Parking of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District, states
that parking spaces may not be located within a required front yard. The existing two
parking spaces encroach approximately 9-feet into the required side yard setback adjacent
to Worthington Drive.
Subsection 42.D., Corner Lots of Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations.
The subject site is a reverse frontage lot which requires 30-foot front and side yard setback
Agenda Item #
BZA25-08A & B.4 3
adjacent to the street. The existing residential structure and detached and carport are
approximately 21 feet from the south property line and encroach approximately 9-feet into
the required side yard setback adjacent to Worthington Drive.
Subsection 42.C., Secondary Buildings of Section 42, Supplementary District
Regulations, requires a detached secondary building be at least 10 feet from any existing
dwelling. The detached carport is approximately 3-feet from the dwelling and encroaches 7-
feet into the building separation requirement.
ATYPICAL CONDITIONS:
Staff finds that atypical conditions exist for the requested variances (BZA25-08A) on this
property. Specifically, the subject property was developed in 1940 and is a portion of the lot
platted in 1951 prior to the City’s first Zoning Ordinance in 1955 and prior to the rezoning of
the property in the 1984 City-wide Rezoning to “R-7.5”, Single-Family District. In 2012, the
lot was split by deed by a previous owner, resulting in the current configuration. Currently
and as proposed, the site is not compliant with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the
following areas:
· Subsection 15.F.2., Lot Size of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District, which
requires a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet, the lot exists today with a lot area
of 7,498 square feet.
· Subsection 15.G.4., Minimum Lot Width of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a minimum lot width of 95 feet for reverse frontage lots, the lot exists
today with a width of 80 feet.
· Subsection 15.G.5., Minimum Lot Depth of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a minimum lot depth of 100 feet, the lot exists with a lot depth of 95
feet along the north property line and a lot depth of 80 feet along the south property
line.
The requested special exceptions (BZA25-08B) on this property, are a result of the same
circumstances outlined under the variance requests. Currently and as proposed, the site is
not compliant with Zoning Ordinance (82-73) relative to the following areas:
· Subsection 15.F.6., Minimum Floor Area of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family
District, which requires a minimum floor area of 1,200 square feet,
· Subsection 15.G.1., Depth of Front yard of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
which requires a front yard depth of 30 feet,
· Subsection 15.J., Off-Street Parking of Section 15 “R-7.5”, Single Family District,
states that parking spaces may not be located within a required front yard,
· Subsection 42.D., Corner Lots of Section 42, Supplementary District Regulations,
requires reverse frontage lots to have a 30-foot front yard setback and 30-foot side
yard setback, and
Agenda Item #
BZA25-08A & B.4 4
· Subsection 42.C., Secondary Buildings of Section 42, Supplementary District
Regulations, which requires a detached secondary building be at least 10 feet from
any existing dwelling on the site.
