TO: PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSIONERS
FROM: H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AW
MARCY RATCLIFF, PLANNER
SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF THE WORKSHOP AGENDA
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 1993
DRAFT PROPOSAL OF THE GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT
Marcy and I have been developing a new zoning district to specifically accommodate wineries,
vineyards, wine tasting facilities, and low intensity retail/commercial uses which promote,
enhance and compliment the Texas Wine Industry. The design of the district is to primarily
serve as a low intensity commercial transitional district, which buffers low density residential
land uses from high intensity commercial land uses.
With this purpose in mind, please review the attached Draft Copy #7 of the Grapevine Vintage
District Regulations. As you review the district uses, density requirements, area regulations,
buffer area regulations and design requirements; remember, this is a district that would be
suitable adjacent to neighborhoods like Western Oaks Estates, Section II. With this in mind, it
will help to keep in focus the types of uses and how they are to be designed and arranged to
serve as a transition from single family residential to low intensity retail/commercial uses.
SECTION 56 OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
Attached is a draft proposal of parking requirements for a winery and a wine tasting facility.
The draft amendments are not based on what other cities require, because most wineries and
wine tasting facilities are not located within any city limits. The draft amendments are similar
to Grapevine's existing parking requirements.
The parking requirements for a winery are similar to those of a manufacturing use and of the
recreational uses such as a golf course. This proposed amendment allows Staff to require more
parking if there is a mixture of uses, which is very likely.
The parking requirements for a wine tasting facility are similar to Fort Worth's, who does have
a wine tasting facility. Fort Worth treats a wine tasting facility like a restaurant. The draft
amendment requires a wine tasting facility to have the same number of parking spaces as
required for a restaurant.

E. FUTURE LAND USE
Map 2 is the Land Use Plan for the City of Grapevine, and is the
graphic representation of the goals, objectives and policies of the
City of Grapevine, as adopted by the City Council. The land use
policies establish the reasoning and set the design standards for the
type, amount and density of development shown on the map. the
land use patterns of the map cannot be achieved without adopted
policies directed toward that end, and when the map is in conflict
with the policies, the map should be revised to meet those policies.
Likewise, when a development proposal is in conformance with the
policies but in conflict with the map, it is in accordance with the
Comprehensive Plan as the map is nothing more than a graphic
representation of those policies.
Map 2 as a graphic representation denotes the land uses with
colors. The land use designations are divided by density and use.
The color yellow represents residential low density (O through 4
units per acre) land use. Tan represents residential medium density
(over 4 units through 12 units per acre) land use. Brown represents
residential high density (over 12 units through 20 units per acre)
land use. Green represents governmental use land use. Fuchsia
represents the central business district land use. Light pink
represents low intensity commercial land use Red represents
commercial land use. Blue represents industrial land use. Blue with
black slash marks represents industrial/commercial land use Below

MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY

FROM: TRENT PETTY, CITY MANAGER s
DAVID TESMER, ASSISTANT TO TY MANAGER
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION AND AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE
COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE 82-73 RELATIVE
TO THE GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT AND OTHER
DISTRICTS RELATING TO WINERIES
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1993
Staff recommends the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission consider
the proposed amendments and take any action deemed necessary.
BACKGROUND
The Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff began developing a new zoning district
to specifically accommodate wineries, vineyards, wine tasting facilities, and low intensity
retail/commercial uses which promote, enhance and compliment the Texas Wine Industry.
The design of the district is to primarily serve as a low intensity commercial transitional
district, which buffers low density residential land uses from high intensity commercial
land uses.
As you consider the district uses, density requirements, area regulations, buffer area
regulations and design requirements; note, this is a district that would be suitable adjacent
to neighborhoods like Western Oaks Estates, Section II. With this in mind, it will help
to keep in focus the types of uses and how they are to be designed and arranged to serve
as a transition from single family residential to low intensity retail/commercial uses.
OAORMAWIN10.19 1
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the draft Section 23A, Grapevine
Vintage District at the workshop on September 14 and again at the regular meeting
September 21, 1993. The Planning and Zoning Commission, after reviewing the draft
Grapevine Vintage District, also proposed amendments to the existing Zoning Ordinance
to provide regulations in the following sections: Section 12, Definitions, Section 45,
Concept Plan, Section 56, Off-street Parking, and Section 60, Sign Regulations. The
Planning and Zoning Commission have also proposed deleting wineries as a conditional
use in the following sections: Section 25, Community Commercial, Section 29, Hotel
Corporate Office, Section 31, Light Industrial. See the attachments.
