AM17-03 — AMENDMENT TO THE GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 22, MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT AND THE ADOPTION OF MULITFAMILY DESIGN STANDARDS Next for the Commission to consider and make recommendation to the City Council was amendments to Section 22, "R-MF" Multifamily District including the adoption of the 112117 2 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 21 , 2017 attached Design Standards Manual for Multifamily and Vertical Mixed-Use Development. Beginning in 2015, the City of Grapevine City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission conducted extensive studies of vacant tracts within the City for the purpose of identifying locations that could be appropriate for multifamily/mixed use development. The Future Land Use Map was amended, designating these areas as C/MU, Commercial/Mixed Use, which would recognize the possibility of multifamily development. The City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission felt that any future multifamily projects within the City must be designed, developed and constructed under updated zoning regulations and construction standards. Design standards were developed by Craig Melde of ArchiTexas along with Robin McCaffery of Mesa Planning Important highlights of the Standards: - Districts have different design criteria based on their surrounding natural environment, and nearby existing development - Emphasis is placed on pedestrian features - Importance is placed on streetscapes and buildings' relationship to the streets - Working the architecture into the landscape, rather than severe grading and tree removal is emphasized - Mixed-Use is encouraged where appropriate, and specific design considerations are included for any mixed use - Applicants are required to present to the City an articulated design philosophy that incorporates sound and thoughtful aesthetic principals (while this sounds abstract, the consultants included some very specific language regarding design and compositional integrity) - Equal treatment of all elevations in terms of design and materials is required (the architect can't just embellish the "street side") - Stucco is only allowed as a secondary material (maximum 30%) - Stucco is not allowed at all in the Central Transit District - Synthetic stucco is prohibited - Emphasis is placed on relief and articulation of exterior features In the Commission's regular session Monica Hotelling moved to approve AM17-03.
