COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN
noted that there are still potential problems with the Highway
Commercial District and the Central Business District which are
special districts created to accommodate existing developed areas.
Rezoning to "HC" or "CBD" could result in further "strip" or "ribbon"
commercial development.
those commercial land uses that are incompatible with surrounding
or adjacent residential or other land uses, visual and sound buffers,
shall be used. Multifamily housing in itself is not a suitable buffer
between low density residential and more intense land uses, and
actually needs the same buffering that single family neighborhoods
do. Buffering was added to the various zoning districts of the
Appendix D Zoning Ordinance to accomplish this need.
7. The need to protect the character of existing neighborhoods and
encourage rehabilitation while preserving its' integrity and history.
As older, established single family residential neighborhoods begin to
deteriorate, valuable housing stock, much of which is available at a
low cost, is subject to transition to more intensive residential,
commercial, or even industrial uses. Such is the case in residential
areas around the CBD in Grapevine. These neighborhoods do have
opportunities for compatible mixed uses that can provide a range of
housing types and prices, but the mix must be stable, the character
of the neighborhood reaffirmed, and land value protected. This
situation can be achieved through proper buffering, increased code

enforcement, and incentives, such as a public or private loan
program or assistance, for rehabilitating homes. In addition, the
creation of designated revitalization areas with specific objectives for
preserving, rehabilitating and encouraging growth within these
transitional neighborhood areas. Also, thoroughfares should be
established to handle through traffic from apartments and
commercial uses without impacting low density residential areas.
8. The need to segreaate light commercial activities from
heavy commercial and industrial land uses. Retail and some
wholesale establishments have very different needs than and often
incompatible with warehousing and industrial land uses. Yet, in
Grapevine, there are several instances in which these land uses
come into contact with each other.

instances, industrial and commercial land uses generate truck traffic
that must use residential streets. There is a need to provide
designated truck routes within the City.
