PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR, PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JUNE 16, 2026
SUBJECT: PLANNING SERVICES TECHNICAL REPORT OF CONDITIONAL
USE APPLICATION CU26-12; HIGH COUNTRY COMMERCIAL
APPLICANT: Chance LeBlanc – Dunaway
Associates
PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE:
The subject property is located at 1039 East Dallas
Road and platted as Block 1, Lot 1, Esther Moore
Addition. The addition contains 0.838 acre and has
approximately 216 feet of frontage on East Dallas
Road.
REQUESTED CONDITIONAL USE AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a construction trade office with
outside storage.
The applicant is requesting to redevelop the subject site and operate as a construction
trade office and construct a new 5,460 square-foot office building on the same property. As
part of this request, the applicant proposes to leave and improve the appearance of an
existing 5,057 square foot metal building located at the northwest corner of the property.
Historically, the subject site has not had improved parking spaces, vehicle maneuvering
areas, and designated and screened solid waste collection or outside storage. Access will
be provided by an existing concrete driveway on the no rth side of East Dallas Road; 27
parking spaces are required, and 27 parking spaces are provided. The site plan indicates
1,300 square feet of outside storage onsite consisting of a company box truck, fully
screened from adjacent properties and the public right-of-way.
CU26-12.4 2
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is zoned “LI”, Light Industrial District and is developed with existing metal
storage building at the northwest corner of the site. A single-family residence previously
existed on the site but has since been demolished.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property was rezoned in the 1984 City-wide Rezoning, from “C-2”, Community
Business District to “LI”, Light Industrial District. The subject property was also part of a
Map 2: Land Use Plan amendment in 2005 with MP05 -01 (Ord. 2005-57) where the
property’s future land use designation was changed from Industrial (IN) to
Industrial/Commercial (I/C).
Map 2: Land Use Plan amendment in 2026 with MP24-01 where the property’s future land
use designation was changed from Industrial/Commercial (I/C) to Commercial (CO).
• On July 19, 2022, City Council approved on the first reading of an ordinance, CU22-
30 (Ord. 2022-047), to allow for a construction trade office with storage yard.
• On August 1, 2022, Board of Zoning Adjustment approved BZA22-10, a special
exception for an existing 5,057 square foot metal building located at the northwest
corner of the property to allow a side and rear yard encroachment into required
setbacks, a decrease in distances between buildings, a decrease in buffer area
regulations and exterior improvements. The special exception runs with the land and
remains applicable to the property.
• On August 16, 2022, City Council approved on the second reading of an ordinance,
CU22-30 (Ord. 2022-047) to allow for a construction trade office with storage yard.
The conditional use permit expired one year after approval because a building
permit was not obtained.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: “LI”, Light Industrial District – Office Warehouse, Norman Roofing
and Construction
SOUTH: “LI”, Light Industrial District – Multi-tenant office/warehouse and
distribution center developments
EAST: “LI”, Light Industrial District – Mac’s Corner Convenience Store with
Fuel Pumps
WEST: “R-7.5”, Single-Family District – Single-family residences
CU26-12.4 3
AIRPORT IMPACT:
The subject tract is located within “Zone B” Middle Zone of Effect as defined on the "Aircraft
Sound Exposure: Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport Environs" map. In “Zone B”, the
following uses may be considered only if sound treatment is included in the building design:
multifamily apartments, motels, office buildings, movie theaters, restaurant, personal and
business services. Single-family residential and sound sensitive uses such as schools and
churches should avoid this one. 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
as Commercial (CO) land use. The request is compliant with the Master Plan.
THOROUGHFARE PLAN APPLICATION:
The City of Grapevine’s Thoroughfare Plan designates East Dallas Road as a Type C
Minor Arterial, which requires a minimum right-of-way width of 80 feet to be developed with
four lanes and a turn lane.

parking spaces are required, and 27 parking spaces are provided. The site plan indicates

The property is zoned “LI”, Light Industrial District and is developed with existing metal
storage building at the northwest corner of the site. A single-family residence previously
existed on the site but has since been demolished.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property was rezoned in the 1984 City-wide Rezoning, from “C-2”, Community
Business District to “LI”, Light Industrial District. The subject property was also part of a
Map 2: Land Use Plan amendment in 2005 with MP05 -01 (Ord. 2005-57) where the
property’s future land use designation was changed from Industrial (IN) to
Industrial/Commercial (I/C).
Map 2: Land Use Plan amendment in 2026 with MP24-01 where the property’s future land
use designation was changed from Industrial/Commercial (I/C) to Commercial (CO).
• On July 19, 2022, City Council approved on the first reading of an ordinance, CU22-
30 (Ord. 2022-047), to allow for a construction trade office with storage yard.
• On August 1, 2022, Board of Zoning Adjustment approved BZA22-10, a special
exception for an existing 5,057 square foot metal building located at the northwest
corner of the property to allow a side and rear yard encroachment into required
setbacks, a decrease in distances between buildings, a decrease in buffer area
regulations and exterior improvements. The special exception runs with the land and
remains applicable to the property.

CU22-30 (Ord. 2022-047) to allow for a construction trade office with storage yard.
