The "By -Laws of the Planning and Zoning Commission
require five (5) members present to constitute a quorum;
therefore no action was taken on any items, with only
four (4) members present.
There being no quorum of the Planning and Zoning Commission present,
the meeting was not called to order; however, City Manager Mark Watson
briefed those present on the purpose of the pending public hearing,
November 21, 1989, for the purpose of rezoning the Dallas -Fort Worth
International Airport from the present "DFW", Dallas -Fort Worth
International Airport District Regulations to "GU", Governmental Use
District Regulations. The discussion outlined the proposed amendment
to Section 38, "GU", Governmental Use Zoning District Regulations.
Mr. Watson advised that the Environmental Impact Statement was
scheduled to be issued between Christmas and January 1, 1989.
Grapevine's response to the statement would be required within thirty
(30) days of its release; therefore, due to the time constraints
involved, the City Council had designated Cutler and Stanfield,
specializing in Environmental Law, to advise the City relative to
options for opposing the Airports plans for runway expansion.
Following the release of the initial EIS, a public hearing will gather
further information before a final Environmental Impact Statement is
released.
City Manager Watson noted that the role of the Planning and Zoning
Commission would be as in other planning matters, to recommend to the
City Council, after considering proposed amendments to the
comprehensive zoning ordinance.
A copy of the "Draft Amendments to Section 38, "GU", Governmental Use
Zoning Regulations" was submitted to the Cumuissioners present. Staff
noted that the document was not close to final form. The City
Attorneys, Adrienne Leonard, Assistant City Attorney, advised, were in
the process of working through the document to submit another "draft"
copy prior to the November 21, 1989, public hearing date.
In summary, the proposed airport rezoning and ordinance amendments
would give the Grapevine City Council the ability to require submittal
of development plans for drainage, platting, building, including
runways, etc. The Council would have the ability to waive any
requirements of the airport or other uses in the "GU" zoning district
and would not supersede requirements of any environmental or aviation
agencies already regulating airport development or operations.
