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 #BZA26-04
1100 SOUTH MAIN STREET
MEETING DATE: MONDAY, MARCH 2, 2026
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is currently zoned as "PO," Professional Office District and houses
a 7,500 sq. ft. multi-tenant professional office building on approximately 0.5609-acre and
is not platted.
In the 1984 City-wide Rezoning, the property was rezoned from “C-1”, Neighborhood
Business District to “PO”, Professional Office District after adoption of the Zoning
Ordinance, No. 82-73 which is intended for low intensity office and professional uses. The
existing one-story office building was developed in 1981 and was originally a one tenant
building for Texas Power and Light (TP&L). Previously, TP&L occupied the office building
at 1100 South Main Street as one tenant and the parking lot to the west (1109 Airline
Drive) was used under a lease agreement between the previous property owner s, Roy
Stewart and Mike Davis, and TP&L, allowing TP&L to park their large trucks and other
equipment. Once TP&L vacated the building the interior of the building has been
subdivided into three suites and utilized for general office purposes for multiple tenants.
Due to a city-initiated rezone (Z25-06), the owner/applicants are proposing to replat the
easternmost 19 feet of Lot 2, Block 4, of the J.J. Daniel Addition, into a new lot created
for 1100 South Main Street to add parking in the future on its own lot. Currently 1100
South Main Street utilizes the developed and gated parking lot to its immediate west at
1109 Airline Drive.
City Initiated Rezone Request
The City Council initiated a request to rezone the property at 1109 Airline Drive (parking
lot) 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 18, 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 ordinance requirements after hearing public testimony. At
the December 18 meeting, staff requested and Council approve a postponement of the
zone change as, staff engaged in discussions to identify parking solutions with the
property owners. The property owner’s design professional required additional time to

BZA26-04.4 2
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 rezone request was tabled to the March 17, 2026, joint public hearing to allow for
submittal, review, public notifications and consideration by the Board of the property
owner/applicant’s requested special exceptions for both properties.
Plot Plan Notes
The plot plan features three additional notes added at the request of the
applicant/property owners, in addition to the city’s two standard plot plan notes. These
notes speak to the timing of redevelopment at the discretion of the applicant/property
owners.
These statements are not applicable to the special exception requests before the Board
and hold no legal significance regarding the Board’s decision regarding the requests.
REQUEST:
1100 South Main Street is currently fully developed and underprovided with required
parking for a 7,500 sq. ft. office building, having 12 striped spaces adjacent to South Main
Street frontage. Twenty-five (25) parking spaces are required and 22 will be provided with
the proposed replat and land swap of approximately 1,387 sq. ft. (and 19 lineal feet) of
land from the property to the west, Lot 2, Block 4, J.J. Daniel Addition. However, to make
this property whole with current requirements within the “PO”, Professional Office District,
several special exceptions are needed including a reduction to the minimum open space
requirement, increase the maximum impervious coverage, reduce the required
landscaping in the front yard setback, reduce the minimum 25-foot buffer along the
western property line to 4 feet (adjacent to the future residentially zoned lot), and to
reduce minimum interior landscaping, perimeter landscaping, and non -vehicular open
space requirements.
The applicant is therefore requesting a special exception from the Grapevine
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82 -73, Section 43.E.3, which allows the Board of
Zoning Adjustment to approve the remodeling or enlargement of a nonconforming
structure or use.
Subsection 27.F.4. Minimum open space, of Section 27, “PO”, Professional Office
District requires a minimum open space on developed lot to be 20% of the total lot area.
The existing and proposed open space is 3% or 680 sq. ft. of a 25,905 sq. ft. lot.
Subsection 27.F.6. Maximum impervious coverage, of Section 27, “PO”, Professional
Office District requires a maximum impervious coverage on developed lot to be 80% of
the total lot area. The existing and proposed impervious coverage is 97% or 25,225 sq.
ft. of a 25,905 sq. ft. lot.
UPDATED
Agenda Item # 10
BZA26-04.4 3
Subsection 27.G.3. Minimum front yard, of Section 27, “PO”, Professional Office
District requires the minimum 25-foot front yard to be 50% landscaped. The 25-foot front
yard is completely paved.
Subsection 27.H. Buffer area regulations, of Section 27, “PO”, Professional Office
District requires a minimum of 25-foot buffer area between a non-residential use and a
residential district or use. The applicant is proposing to reduce the buffer from 25 feet to
4 feet and to construct a 6 foot tall screening fence at the time the property at 1109 Airline
Drive redevelops as a residential use.
Section 53. Landscaping Requirements, reduced interior landscaping, perimeter
landscaping, and non-vehicular open space requirements requires minimum landscaping
requirements for vehicle use and maneuvering areas. The existing and proposed parking
areas are proposed to remain completely paved.
Subsection 56.C. Number of parking spaces required, of Section 56, Off-Street
Parking Requirements requires five spaces plus one parking space per 300 sq. ft. of gross
floor area (5+1 per 300 sq. ft.) for general office uses. The subject building has a total
size of 7,500 square feet. After accounting for areas such as hallways, closets, and
restrooms, the net area available for parking is 5,898 square feet. This totals to 19.66
required parking spaces. Adding the initial five spaces, the overall requirement amounts
to 24.66 spaces, which we round up to 25 spaces. The applicant intends to acquire
property from 1109 Airline Drive and plans to restripe the existing 12 spaces to create up
to 22 spaces.
CONDITION:
A condition exists for the existing multi-tenant office development on the unplatted
remainder within the “PO”, Professional Office District, requiring it to stand alone from the
adjacent lot to the west, currently used for off-site parking, to facilitate the future
redevelopment of that lot for its intended residential purpose without creating additional
nonconformities.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Zoning Adjustment approve a special exception to the
Grapevine Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 82-73, Subsection 43.E.3, Nonconforming
Uses and Structures to allow the subject site to remain as developed with an expansion
of the parking area to the west, as shown on the plot plan, subject to the following
condition:
1. A final plat is filed with Tarrant County.
