Department Notes:
PLANNING SERVICES
Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) application will be required for various deviations such as lot size
and lot width.
This site is currently non-conforming. If any changes are proposed, they would need to be addressed
through BZA. Staff would not recommend approval to divide the lot, as it does not meet the
requirements of the zoning ordinance.
The property is designated IN – Industrial on Map 2: Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive
Master Plan.
Follow "LI", Light Industrial District for bulk, dimensional and setback requirements in Section 25 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
• No principal structure shall be erected or altered to a height exceeding fifty (50) feet,
however an increase up to five (5) feet to this requirement may be granted upon approval of
a conditional use request by the City Council.
• 30’ front yard setback shall be utilized as a landscaped setback area.
• 15% of the lot minimum open space.
• 80% maximum impervious surface area (building footprint and paving).
• 70% masonry requirement for all exterior building finishes.
• 15’ side yard setback
Additional Performance Standards
Mechanical
Equipment
Needs to be screened from view. Parapet wall should be used atop buildings rather
than a device. Needs to be located at least 120 feet away from the adjacent
residential.
Electric
Vehicle
Charging
Stations
Any proposed EV charging stations should be included in a conditional use request.
Refer to Section 42 for standards. EV charging stations must be in addition to
required parking spaces and must be depicted on the dimensional control site plan
and landscape plan.
Parking Refer to Sections 56 parking ratios and loading requirements.
Outdoor
Illumination
(photometric)
Cannot exceed 3.0 foot-candles at the property lines adjacent to rights-of-way or
nonresidential uses. Must be less than 0.2 foot-candles adjacent to residential. Look
at Performance Standards in Section 55 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Refer to Section 55. Performance Standards
Reduce light levels at ground level of all property lines of the subject property to the
following levels based on the zoning of the adjacent properties:
• Single-family – 0.2 footcandles
• Multi-family – 0.5 footcandles
• Non-residential districts, streets – 3.0 footcandles
• Industrial districts – 5.0 footcandles
Tree
Preservation
Refer to Section 52, Tree Preservation and Section 53, Landscaping Regulations –
Minimum size of new tree plantings is 3” caliper trees; list of permissible trees (two
lists) found in our Zoning Ordinance. The two tree lists are separated by parking area
planter island trees and perimeter tree requirements. Can remove trees in any utility
easement, proposed building footprint and parking area. Protected trees, minimum
3” caliper in size. If “trash trees” are over 10” in size, they are considered protected.
No tree removal is allowed prior to obtaining a building permit and receiving written
approval from a Building Services inspector or a Public Works/Engineering inspector.
Clearing the lot of trees prior to receiving written approval will result in a fine of
$320/in.
Department Notes:

The Building Permit Application can be
submitted concurrently with the conditional
use application, however, building permit will
be on hold pending City Council and Planning
and zoning approval.
Three sets of construction documents are required
for building permit plan submittal. Plans must be a
minimum of 11” X 17” and printed to scale. Only
final construction documents are accepted for
review.

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 #BZA25-14A & BZA25-14B
611 AND 621 INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2026
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is developed with two existing office/warehouse buildings,
associated parking and vehicle maneuvering area. The property is approximately 31,851
square foot (0.73 acre) in size, and is a portion of the platted Lot 6, Grapevine Industrial
Park. All platted, Lot 6 is 1.45 acres. The two buildings onsite were constructed in or
around 1980 while Lot 6 was platted in February 1981. The subject property was zoned
“I-2”, Heavy Industrial District prior to the 1984 City-wide rezoning at which time it was
rezoned to “LI”, Light Industrial District Regulations.
The subject site appears to be the northern half of Lot 6, which was split by deed in a
1988 conveyance between previous property owners. The subject site has approximately
130 feet of frontage on Industrial Boulevard, a 60-foot-wide public right-of-way as
depicted on the plot plan. The two existing buildings, 611 and 621, are both approximately
5,046 and 5,053 square feet in size.
The application was submitted by Timothy Mankin, the property owner’s surveyor of
record.
REQUEST:
The applicant proposes to further subdivide the northern half of Lot 6 into two 15,795
square foot lots for the purposes of selling each new lot separately, and is requesting the
following variance (BZA25-14A) from the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance
No. 82-73, for the subject site:
Subsection 31.F.1., Minimum lot size of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial District, which
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The applicant is requesting a variance
to allow a minimum lot size of 15,795 square feet; and
Subsection 31.G.1., Minimum lot width of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial District,
which requires a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to
allow a minimum lot width of 60.75 feet.
The following special exceptions (BZA25-14B) are requested:
Agenda Item #7
BZA25-14A & B.4 2
· Subsection 31.F.2, Minimum open space, of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial
District, requires a minimum open space of 15 percent of the total lot area. With
the proposed subdivision of the portion of the lot into two separate lots, 611
Industrial is proposed to have 1,505 square feet or 10% of the total lot area as
open space and 621 Industrial is proposed to have 1,149 square feet or 7% of the
total lot area as open space.
· Subsection 31.F.4, Maximum impervious area, of Section 31, “LI”, Light
Industrial District to exceed maximum impervious surface area for each lot. The
maximum impervious surface area permitted is 85% of the total lot area. 611
Industrial is proposed to have 14,290 square feet or 90% of the total lot area as
impervious surface area and 621 Industrial is proposed to have 14,646 square feet
or 93% of the total lot area as impervious surface area.
· Subsection 31.G.3, Minimum front yard, of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial
District to reduce minimum landscaping in the 30-foot front yard should be utilized
as a landscaped setback area. Front yards shall not be used for any building,
structure, fence, wall, parking or storage area, except that signs shall be permitted
in this area. Front yards shall be landscaped with grass, shrubbery and trees; and
no part shall be paved or surfaced except for minimum access, driveways and
sidewalks in accordance with Section 53 of this ordinance. The entire front yard
of both 611 and 621 are completely paved, with no landscaping.
· Subsection 31.G.4, Depth of side yard, of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial District
to reduce the minimum depth of a side yard from 15 feet to 3.9 feet for 611
Industrial Boulevard to the northern property line and 4.4 feet for 621 Industrial
Boulevard from the southern property line.
· Subsection 31.G.6, Minimum distance between buildings, of Section 31, “LI”,
Light Industrial District to reduce the minimum distance of 30 feet between
buildings on adjacent lots adjacent to the north property line for 611 Industrial
Boulevard and south property line for 621 Industrial Boulevard;
· Subsections 53.H, Minimum requirements for off-street parking and
vehicular use areas, and 53.I, Landscaping for nonvehicular open space, of
Section 53, Landscaping Regulations, to reduce minimum interior landscaping,
reduce minimum perimeter landscaping, and reduce landscaping requirements for
nonvehicular open spaces. As proposed, total landscaped area for 611 Industrial
Boulevard is approximately 10% and 7% for 621 Industrial Boulevard. There are
no proposed 10-foot landscape strip provided between lot lines and vehicle use
areas.
· Section 54, Masonry requirements, to reduce the use of exterior wall materials
to less than 70% masonry products. The front facade of each building, which faces
Industrial Boulevard, features 30% brick cladding around the primary entrances
and the remainder is 70% metal. All other elevations of the buildings are entirely
100% metal.; and
· Subsection 31.K, Off-street parking requirements, of Section 31, “LI”, Light
Industrial District and Subsection 56.C, Number of parking spaces required, of
Section 56, Off-Street Parking Requirements to reduce required parking from ten
(10) spaces to five (5) for each of the proposed lots.
Agenda Item #7
BZA25-14A & B.4 3
ATYPICAL CONDITIONS FOR VARIANCE:
Staff has determined that there are no atypical conditions that warrant the requested
variance (BZA25-14A) for this property. The subject property was replatted in 1980, prior
to the city-wide rezoning that occurred in 1984, at which time it was designated as “LI,”
Light Industrial District. The property, which is part of Lot 6 in the Grapevine Industrial
Park, was split by deed (rather than through a legal replat), resulting in the existing non-
conformities. As a result, the property does not meet several requirements outlined in
Section 31 of the “LI, Light Industrial District regulations. Currently, the site is non-
compliant with the Zoning Ordinance (82-73) concerning the following areas:
Subsection 31.F.1., Minimum lot size of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial District, which
requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The lot exists today with the lot
size of 31,851 square foot (0.73 acre); and
Subsection 31.G.1., Minimum lot width of Section 31, “LI”, Light Industrial District, which
requires a minimum lot width of 100 feet. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow
a minimum lot width of 60.75 feet for both proposed lots.
CONDITIONS FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION:
The current standards for the "LI", Light Industrial District, landscaping regulations and
building material standards do not meet the minimum requirements or exceed the
maximum limits for several criteria, including minimum open space, maximum impervious
area, minimum front yard, depth of side yard, minimum distance between buildings,
minimum requirements for off-street parking, and vehicular use areas, as well as
landscaping for non-vehicular open spaces. Continuing to subdivide the property will lead
to further non-compliance with these existing standards.
Staff recommends denial of the requested special exceptions, as approving them would
undermine zoning standards and perpetuate similar noncompliant properties. The
exceptions for minimum landscape requirements, open space, maximum impervious
surface area, minimum front yard landscaping depth, reduced side yard setbacks,
distance between buildings on adjacent lots, and reducing off-street parking are not
supported for these reasons.
Agenda Item #7
BZA25-14A & B.4 4
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment:
Deny (BZA25-14A) variance to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73,
Subsection 31.F.1., Minimum lot size, which requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square
feet. The applicant is requesting to reduce the minimum lot size to 15,795 square feet for
two proposed lots; and Subsection 31.G.1., Minimum lot width, which requires a minimum
lot width of 100 feet. The applicant is requesting reduce the minimum lot width to 60.75
feet for two proposed lots.
Deny (BZA25-14B) special exceptions to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance 82-73, to reduce the minimum open space from 15% to 10% for 611 Industrial
and 7% for 621 Industrial; increasing the maximum impervious surface area from 85% to
90% for 621 Industrial and 93% for 611 Industrial; reduce the required front yard
landscaping to 0%, allowing for complete pavement; reducing the minimum side yard
depth to 3.9 feet for 611 Industrial and 4.4 feet for 621 Industrial; reducing the distance
between buildings from 30 feet to those side yard setbacks shown on the plot plan for
each proposed lot; reduce minimum landscaping requirements resulting in approximately
10% landscaping for 611 Industrial and 7% for 621 Industrial without any 10-foot
landscape buffers adjacent to property lines; reducing the masonry requirements of
exterior wall materials, and reducing the parking requirement from ten spaces to five for
each lot.
