FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR, PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 20, 2026
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION AND PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY CU24-37/PD24-05 GRAPEVINE
FAITH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL MULTIPURPOSE FACILITY
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council accept the applicant’s request for an extension of
conditional use permit and planned development overlay CU24-37 and PD24-05, and take
any other necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 2024, City Council approved CU24-37 (Ord. 2024-085) and PD24-05
(Ord. 2024-086) to construct football seating and a new multipurpose facility, and with a
planned development overlay to deviate from the height regulations of Section 15, “R-7.5”,
Single-Family District.
This request is for an extension of a previously approved plan. The original proposal
included a multi-purpose facility and seating improvements on the subject site. Visitor
bleachers were proposed on the west side of the existing football field, and the home-side
bleachers were proposed to be rebuilt on the east side and connected to the multi-purpose
facility.
The project includes a 64,157-square-foot indoor practice field and practice gyms (Phase 3)
and a two-story, approximately 26,000-square-foot facility (Phases 1 and 2) containing
locker rooms, concessions, restrooms, a weight room, training rooms, offices, meeting
rooms, and a press box. An existing field house is proposed to be demolished.
The plan also approved a planned development overlay to deviate from Section 15 of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, No. 82-73. The “R-7.5” District limits secondary
structures to one-story and 16 feet in height; the proposed facility includes a two-story field
house/press box and an indoor practice field with a maximum height of 56 feet.
CU24-37.41 & PD24-05.41 2
The first phase of the multi-phase project was originally planned to include the multi-
purpose facility, for which the building permit is currently under review. The property owner
has since elected to modify the project phasing and instead advance construction of the
home bleachers and visitor bleachers. Future phases of the project have not yet been
determined.

RE: Grapevine Faith Indoor Practice Facility and Bleachers; CU 24-37/PD 24-05
Dear Ms. Marohnic,
We are requesting a one-year extension of the Conditional Use Permit and Planned Development Overlay CU24-
37/PD24-05.
The overall vision and master plan remains intact to include new bleachers, field house, indoor practice
facility, terracing north of the field, and parking improvements. However, these improvements will be
phased over time.
Architectural and Engineering plans are being prepared for Phase 1 implementation in 2026. These
improvements will include the following:
●Home Bleachers - No significant changes from the approved CU24-37. Seating 550-600, flatwork to
connect to parking lot, structural system for bleachers with grade beams and piers, storage underneath,
new press box, water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain utilities to run underneath bleachers for future
connections to field house and indoor practice facilities as required.
●Visitor Bleachers – No changes from the approved CU24-37. Added sidewalk from restroom facility to
bleachers.
●North Terrace – No changes from the approved CU24-37.
With your permission we would like to move forward with Phase One. Future phases will include demolition of the
existing fieldhouse, parking improvements, field house, and indoor practice facility. The schedule for these future
improvements is undetermined at this time.
Please free to call me at 817-813-2484 ext 1170 if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your
consideration.
