HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 07 - Nolen and Industrial TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND
THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR, PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: MAY 19, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCE NO. 87-11
BEING MAP 2: LAND USE PLAN OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN (FUTURE LAND USE
MAP) FOR APPROXIMATELY 73.3 ACRES LOCATED
ALONG PORTIONS OF INDUSTRIAL BOULEVARD AND
NOLEN DRIVE, CHANGING THE FUTURE LAND USE
DESIGNATION FROM COMMERCIAL (CO) TO
INDUSTRIAL (IN). (MP26-01)
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grapevine's Planning and Zoning Commission, during its meeting on March
17, 2026, reviewed a conditional use request (CU25-51) for a construction trade office
with outside storage of two box trucks and two vans. The Commission requested that staff
bring back a proposed amendment to the City's future land use map for further
consideration. This amendment is to reconcile the existing land use designations for
properties along portions of Nolen Drive and Industrial Boulevard, which are zoned "LI",
Light Industrial District and located immediately west of the existing Wal-Mart Super
Center. The amendment specifically targets approximately 73.3 acres along Industrial
Boulevard and Nolen Drive, changing the future land use designation from Commercial
(CO) to Industrial (IN).
These properties are currently zoned for light industrial use and are already developed
for industrial activities. However, the Map 2: Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Master
Plan designates them as Commercial (CO), which does not match the current zoning or
the area's development character.
This amendment's purpose is to align the Comprehensive Master Plan with the existing
zoning and the established industrial nature of the area, by ensuring consistency between
the Comprehensive Master Plan and existing zoning, reflects the industrial character of
the area, provides clarity for future development and redevelopment, and minimizes
potential conflicts during zoning reviews.
Overall, MP26-01 serves as a policy guideline for future land use decisions, rather than
authorizing specific developments.
