WORKSHOP
ITEM 1 – POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE
ZONING ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS
At the September 20 and October 18 meetings, the Commission and Council
considered multiple applications on a 52 acre tract of land with discussion centering on
a multi-faceted development consisting of an expansion to an existing hotel, the
construction of a new hotel, and the development of a 359 unit multi-family complex.
These three development proposals required seven different applications (one zoning
change application, three conditional use applications, and three planned development
overlay applications) for property that was intended to be developed as one project.
Although the property owner/developer intended to construct this project as one
“development,” each portion of the project required individual advertising, property

owner notification, and discussion during the public hearing which may have inhibited
the developer’s ability to present the case as one large, multifaceted development.
In the future, for development requests of a similar nature whereby a sizeable tract of
land is proposed to be developed with multiple components that would require several
or more applications, the Commission and Council may want to consider several
options such as:
Amending sections of the zoning ordinance that allow the planned commercial
center concept to include specific “uses” along with language that gives clear
direction on submittal requirements relative to the multiple components of a
request. For example, amending the planned commercial center language in the
“CC” Community Commercial District to include multi-family uses would have
allowed consideration of the project previously mentioned under one application
which would allow both specific discussion where necessary but also allow
consideration of the entire project/property as a whole. This could add clarity to
future proposals of similar size and complexity and allow an applicant/developer
the ability to present a project with multiple aspects as a “whole” project rather
than a compilation of individual parts.
Creating an entirely new zoning district within the ordinance that would allow
consideration of multiple uses within a given tract of land with its own separate
guidelines relative to density, height, bulk, open space, setbacks, etc., as
required for any other zoning district established within the zoning ordinance.
The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed not allowing already developed
properties to be included with the minimum acreage of the development and encourage
connectivity to create intent. The Commission also choose to include R-5.0 Zero-Lot-
Line, R-3.5 Two Family and R-3.75 Three and Four Family districts to be listed in the
Additional Uses Allowed category.
If the project is to be in phases, a site plan for the initial phase would be required, with a
concept plan showing future phases. The approval of the site/concept plan would
establish approval for the entire project, however, the portion of the project that was
shown as a Concept Plan could not start until a full Site Plan is brought back for public
hearing.
These amendments will be discussed in workshop again.
ITEM 2 – DISCUSS POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER
PLAN/FUTURE LAND USE MAP
Next discussion was held regarding amendments to the Future Land Use Map category
designations, to accommodate mixed use projects. Therefore, City Council and the
Planning and Zoning Commission may wish to add a "C/MU" (Commercial/Mixed Use)

category to the Future Land Use Map, along with a brief description of the types of uses
that would be appropriate.
The Future Land Use Map itself contains draft amendments of areas that might be
considered for the "C/MU" designation, as suggested in Scott Polikov's study. The
proposed boundaries of the Commuter Rail District are tentatively shown as "C/MU".
Nine maps were presented to the Commission with possible areas to be changed to the
“C/MU’ designation. The Commission choose to move forward with Study Areas 1, 2, 3,
4, 5 and 7.
These changes will be brought to public hearing on January 17, 2017.
ITEM 3 - POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 22. R-MF MULTIFAMILY
DISTRICT
Craig Melde of Architexas discussed possible ordinance amendments to address multi-
family architectural design. The Commission will work with Mr. Melde to develop
standards that address sustainability, contextual design, height, density, parking, etc.
