LOPMENT SERVICES -f4 MEETING DATE: MARCH 21, 1995 SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE - SECTION 26, HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL AND SECTION 28, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION: Development Services recommends consideration of amendments to Section 26, Highway Commercial District, relative to used car lots. The Heritage Foundation recommends consideration of amendments to Section 28, Central Business District relative to temporary outside festival uses. Staff requests authorization to set a public hearing April 18, 1995 to amend Section 26 allowing used car lots as a conditional use only and Section 28 regulating permitted temporary outside festival uses. Staff has noticed the increased number of used car lots along Northwest Highway. Automotive sales, and service, for new or used cars and trucks is a permitted use in the Highway Commercial District. Requiring a conditional use permit for used automotive sales and service will help to reduce the increasing numbers and will allow the opportunity to review each request on an individual basis. Festival Coordinators in the past have incurred problems during the festivals with Main Street merchants having outside sales within the festival area. The proposed amendment will limit all outside sales in the festival area to only festival sanctioned activities. HTH/mr 0:2MAMSEC26.28 DATE: March 14, 1995 TO: Tommy Hardy, Development Services FROM: Paul W. McCallum, Convention & Visitors Bureau SUBJECT: Zoning Code Amendment On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Grapevine Heritage Foundation I am requesting an amendment to Section 28 CBD Central Business District, A. Permitted Uses to include new item 12. to be in place prior to Main Street Days, May 19, 20, 21, 1995 which will read: "Outdoor sales are prohibited at all times, except by the holder of a special permit issued by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation authorizing outdoor sales of merchandise only, during sanctioned festivals, upon execution of a release and hold harmless agreement." Following GrapeFest 1994 a Festival Policy Review Committee, Chaired by Gary Blagg, was established to look at festival operations and policies. After months of study the committee recommendations were presented to the Grapevine Heritage Foundation Board of Directors. One of the policy issues recommended for change is the above zoning code section as it relates to outdoor merchandizing within the Historic District during festival periods and special events. Attached are the minutes from the March 8, 1995 meeting of the Grapevine Heritage Foundation at which this recommendation was unanimously approved. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEV OPMENT SERVICE MEETING DATE: APRIL 18, 1995 SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE 82-73 - SECTION 26, HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL AND SECTION 28, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION: Development Services recommends consideration of amendments to Section 26, Highway Commercial District, relative to automotive sales and building trades contractors and take any action deemed necessary. The Heritage Foundation and Development Services recommends consideration of amendments to Section 28, Central Business District relative to temporary outside festival uses and take any action deemed necessary. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff requested permission to set public hearings at the March 21, 1995 meeting after noticing the increased number of used car lots along Northwest Highway. Automotive sales, and service, for new or used cars and trucks is a permitted use in the Highway Commercial District. Requiring a conditional use permit for automotive sales and service will help to reduce the increasing numbers of small lots with numerous cars and will allow the opportunity to review each request on an individual basis. Additionally, Staff would like to clarify existing language for building trades contractors relative to outside storage as a conditional use. Currently there are existing uses that have outside storage yards for materials and equipment. Festival Coordinators in the past have incurred problems during the festivals with Main Street merchants having outside sales within the festival area. The proposed amendment will limit all outside sales in the festival area to only festival sanctioned activities. Please review the attached language in Section 26, Highway Commercial and Section 28, Central Business District. HTHImr O 1ZMAMSEC26.281 DRAFT COPY 04/03/95 HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL Section 26.
