DIRECTOR OF DEIVEI OPMENT SERVICES 0:\ZCU\AGNWK1026.00 TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS FROM: H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES O _ STEPHEN D. KINDRICK, AICP, PLANNER II MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2000 SUBJECT: THIRD TRI-ANNUAL WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the following items and take any action necessary. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Planning and Zoning Commission By-law Amendments The current Bylaws of the Planning and Zoning Commission state, "Regular meetings shall be held on the third Tuesday of each month in the City Council Chambers of the City Hall, unless otherwise determined by the commission." The current Bylaws also state, "It is the intent of the Commission to consider no more than eight zoning cases per meeting. If an unusually large number of cases should occur, the Commission may schedule an additional meeting with the City Council." Submittals during the past year have exceeded eight cases per meeting and have numbered as high as sixteen cases per meeting. In an effort to expedite the .public hearing process and keep the number of backlogged cases to a minimum, the practice of scheduling two joint public hearings per month has become somewhat regular. This practice, although allowed by the Bylaws as an option, has been questioned and the need to review and/or revise the Bylaws is now apparent. Revisions to the Bylaws could include making a second meeting mandatory when a public hearing will exceed eight. Section 58 Parking Standards The Pool Road/State Highway 26 Albertson's Grocery store project that was denied by Council on August 3, 1999 raised a number of issues not addressed in the zoning ordinance as it is currently written. One issue was related to the placement of off-street parking on platted lots comprised of multiple zoning districts. The applicant for the Pool Road/State Highway 26 project proposed the placement of off-street parking for the grocery store on a portion of the lot that had a less restrictive zoning: designation. Councilperson Spencer has requested the Planning and Zoning Commission consider 0AZWURIANNUALIDOC language that would restrict off-street parking for a principal use being located upon property that is of a less restrictive zoning classification than that of the principal use. Master Land Use Plan Amendments The Grapevine/Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD) staff contacted the City regarding the status of the Land Use Designation for the existing Grapevine Middle School. The current designation of the school property is Governmental Use. GCISD staff requested the Planning and Zoning Commission discuss appropriate alternatives to the current designation. 0:\ZCU\TRIANNUAL3_DOC Sec.19-35. Meetings. (a) Attendance.
