Iro c APPLICANT: City of Grapevine PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE: The subject property is located at 1109 Airline Drive and is proposed to be replatted as Block 4, Lot 2R, JJ Daniel Addition. The site contains 0.1990 acre and has approximately 73 feet of frontage along Airline Drive. REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE AND COMMENTS: The city is requesting to rezone 0.1990 acre from "PO". Professional Office District to "R- 7.5". Single-Familv Residential District. The City Council initiated a request to rezone the subject site on September 16, 2025, from "PO", Professional Office District to "R-7.5", Single -Family Residential District. At the October 21, 2025, joint City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended that the request be tabled until December 16, 2025, to allow time for city staff and the property owners to discuss options to make the subject property and the adjoining property at 1100 South Main Street compliant with current zoning ordinances after public testimony. At the December 16, 2025 meeting, staff requested and Council approved to table the zone change request to the March 17, 2026 meeting as staff engaged in discussions both internally and externally to identify parking solutions with the property owners. The property owner's design professional required additional time to conduct a new survey for both 1109 Airline Drive and 1100 South Main Street, to include creating a replat for the two lots with an amended property line between them, as well as seeking special exceptions from the Board of Zoning Adjustment (Board) for various issues that exist for 1100 South Main Street. The subject property is the westernmost 118 feet of Lot 2, Block 4, of the J.J. Daniel Addition, plat filed in 1947 and is in the center of a residential subdivision, surrounded by single-family homes to the south and west, and single-family zoning to the north, south and west. However, the property is presently zoned "PO," Professional Office District, and is developed as a private parking lot. It is presently fenced, gated and used for personal storage and parking. The ownership of this lot, by Rebel Properties II, LTD, is the same as that of the adjacent lot to the east, located at 1100 South Main Street, which houses a multi -tenant professional office building that utilizes the parking on the subject site. This rezone request was part of a larger city-wide initiative (MP24-01) to amend Map 2. Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Master Plan, future land use map. The proposed rezone would bring the property into compliance with the adopted future land use designation ("RL", Low Intensity Residential), which is consistent with the surrounding properties. The future land use map amendments (MP24-01) were approved by the City Council at their meeting on November 18, 2025. Board of Zoning Adjustment Action On March 2, 2026, the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) approved a special exception (BZA26-03) to the Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Subsection 15.G.1, Depth of Front Yard and Subsection 15.G.2. Depth of Rear Yard of Section 15, "R-7.5", Single -Family District, to allow the reduction of the required front yard setback of a residential lot from 30 feet to 25 feet and the reduction of the required rear yard setback of a residential lot from 25 feet to 20 feet, subject to the condition that a final plat is filed with Tarrant County. Lot 2 is presently 137 feet deep. With a proposed replat including the property to the east at 1100 South Main Street, approximately 20 lineal feet or 1,387 sq. ft. of Lot 2 is proposed to be transferred from Lot 2 to the proposed lot to the east for the purpose of constructing additional off-street parking at a later date. The remainder of Lot 2 will be 118 feet deep, 18 feet more than the minimum required in the "R-7.5", Single -Family District. The applicant sought relief to reduce the required front and rear yard setbacks of a residential lot to allow a larger buildable area after the property is rezoned and redevelopment occurs. PRESENT ZONING AND USE: The subject property is currently zoned as "PO," Professional Office District, and is developed as a private parking lot. It is presently fenced, gated and used for storing a boat, trailer and parking vehicles. The ownership of this lot, by Rebel Properties II, LTD, is the same as that of the adjacent lot to the east, located at 1100 South Main Street, which houses a multi -tenant professional office building. Z25-06.4a 2 HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA: The subject property was zoned "C-W', Commercial Warehouse District prior to the 1984 City-wide Rezoning at which time the subject site was rezoned to "PO", Professional Office District. On March 18, 1980, City Council approved zone change request Z80-12 (Ord. 1980-20) to rezone 0.23 acre from "R-1", Single Family Dwelling District to "SP", Specific Use Permit Zoning for parking purposes only, incidental to uses authorized in "C-1 ", Neighborhood Business District, for the purpose of developing a parking lot. • In the 1984 City-wide Rezoning, the property was rezoned to "C-W', Commercial Warehouse after adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, No. 82-73. On May 3, 1984 the subject property was rezoned to "PO", Professional Office District with Ord. No. 84-22 which is intended for low intensity office and professional uses. On January 15, 1996, the Building Board of Appeals approved a variance to allow a 6-foot fence with less than 50% through vision with a 0-foot setback from the front property line along Airline Drive. On April 8, 1996, the Building Board of Appeals approved a variance to allow the placement of barbed wire along the top on a 6-foot, chain link fence along Airline Drive. SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE: NORTH: "R-7.5", Single -Family Residential District — Multifamily building SOUTH: "R-7.5", Single -Family Residential District — Single-family dwelling EAST: "PO", Professional Office District — Multi -tenant office building WEST: "R-7.5", Single -Family Residential District — Single-family dwelling AIRPORT IMPACT: The subject tract is located partially within "Zone A" Zone of Minimal Effect as defined on the "Aircraft Sound Exposure: Dallas/ Fort Worth Regional Airport Environs" Map. Few activities will be affected by aircraft sounds in "Zone A" except for sound sensitive activities such as auditoriums, churches, schools, hospitals, and theaters. The applicant's proposal is an appropriate use in this noise zone. MASTER PLAN APPLICATION: Map 2: Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Master Plan designates the subject property Z25-06.4a 3 as RL - Low Intensity Residential land use. The city's proposal is compliant with the Master Plan. THOROUGHFARE PLAN APPLICATION: The City of Grapevine's Thoroughfare Plan does not designate this portion of Airline Drive. /e m Z25-06.4a 4 ORDINANCE NO. 2025-077 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS GRANTING ZONING CHANGE Z25- 06 ON A TRACT OF LAND OUT OF BLOCK 4, LOT 2A, JJ DANIEL ADDITION, DESCRIBED AS BEING A TRACT OF LAND LYING AND BEING SITUATED IN THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS (A PORTION OF 1109 AIRLINE DRIVE) MORE FULLY AND COMPLETELY DESCRIBED IN THE BODY OF THIS ORDINANCE; ORDERING A CHANGE IN THE USE OF SAID PROPERTY FROM "PO", PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT TO "R- 7.5", SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT; CORRECTING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP.
