BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SECTION 13, R-20 AND SECTION 14, R-12.5 SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICTS Attached are proposed amendments to the R-12.5 and R-20 Single Family Districts creating a new Section D.4. Prior to the rezoning in 1984 all single family development in Grapevine was zoned R-1 Single Family District with the design criteria being consistent with the R-7.5 Single Family District adopted in the Appendix D Zoning Ordinance. In the 1984 rezoning, several existing developments were zoned R-20 and R-12.5 Single Family Districts assuming that they met the requirements of those districts. In a recent review of a building permit in an R-12.5 Single Family District, Staff noted many inconsistencies in the way the property was actually developed as compared to the current zoning of R-12.5 and R-20 Single Family Districts. Most of these developments do not meet the front or side yard setback requirements, and many lots do not meet the minimum square footage requirement of the R-12.5 and R-20 Single Family Districts. The proposed new section D.4. would allow subdivisions approved prior to December 4, 1984 to continue as they were originally developed and it would allow Staff to issue permits on properties with yard requirements consistent to when the subdivisions were approved. The amendment would not allow subdivision of lots smaller than presently required in the R-12.5 and R-20 Single Family Districts. SECTION 26, HC HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT Also, attached are proposed amendments to Section 26, Highway Commercial District. On October 14, 1997 11:24am July 15, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council held a public hearing to consider amendments to Section 26, Highway Commercial District. The amendments were requested by Marvin Balvin concerning uses on his property located on Central Avenue. The amendments to Section 26, HC Highway Commercial District were not approved by Council on that public hearing date. The amendments considered on July 15, 1997 would have greatly changed the Highway Commercial District allowing many intensive commercial uses that could have ultimately had access on Wall Street and other streets having Highway Commercial zoning. Since that time, Staff was asked to draft amendments to the Highway Commercial District which would not impact the entire Northwest Highway area as dramatically as the previously proposed amendment. The attached amendment would allow only Central Avenue to have uses allowed along Northwest Highway. Staff feels that if this amendment is adopted, it would be helpful in resolving all the nonconforming uses along Central Avenue which was platted on December 18, 1984 as Central Business Park having nine lots. All nine lots, except for Whataburger, now have nonconforming uses due to changes that have been made to the Highway Commercial District after the property was developed. The nonconforming uses were legal permitted uses at the time they were developed, after the city wide rezoning in 1984. Seven of the lots have automotive related uses, and one is developed as Dennis Electric Co., electrical contracting business. Under the present zoning regulations of the Highway Commercial District, none of the nonconforming uses along Central Avenue can become conforming. With the proposed amendment to the Highway Commercial District, the same uses allowed along Northwest Highway would be permitted along Central Avenue. The existing nonconforming uses could then be permitted with a conditional use permit if granted by Council. HTH/tw oAth\Sec13,14,26 October 15, 1997 10:43am DRAFT COPY 10/1/97 R-20 SINGLE FAMILY 2.
