MEMO TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONERS
FROM: H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES'
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 1998
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AM98-08; SECTION 25, "CC
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider setting to public
hearing the proposed changes to Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District and
take any other action necessary.
Under the current ordinance, public storage garages, including mini -storage warehouses
for storage purposes only, are allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the
"CC" Community Commercial District. The current ordinance does not allow on -premise
resident quarters. Mr. Trent Petty, President of CMPA, Inc., has requested that staff bring
this amendment forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendation
to allow the caretaker/security person of the public storage facility to live on -premise. No
other districts, except "LI" Light Industrial District allows as an accessory use, the on -
premise residence for watchmen or caretakers whose employment requires residence on
the premise. If this amendment were approved, it would allow the on -premise residence
for watchmen and caretakers, with approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

fie: Proposed Self -Storage Facility on Northwest Highway
Dear Jo Ann:
Thank you for taking the time to walk me through the issues associated with the
Storage USA case on Northwest Highway. As you know, I have been retained by
Mr. Andrew Sandford of Storage USA to assist him in structuring his case and his
project in such a way as to be favorably received by P&Z and Council. You asked
that I send you a letter requesting that P&Z and Council consider an amendment to
the Community Commercial Zoning ordinance to allow a caretaker/security person
to live in the second story of the proposed office building. As you are probably
aware, Mr. Sandford owns the existing storage facility on Highway 114 in
Grapevine located on the south service road near the railroad tracks and Highway
114. The caretaker/security residence already exists on this site because that
property is Zoned Light Industrial and therefore has an allowance for the residence
use. However, The current Zoning for the proposed Storage USA tract on
Northwest Highway is Community Commercial and even though the requested use
is identical, does not have a provision for the residence.
Mr. Sandford would like to request an amendment to "CC", which would allow a
caretakerisecurity person to live on the second floor. This provision has become
necessary for these type facilities in many cases in order to get financing and is
deemed desirable by the facility's customers.
As you are aware, a storage facility (Aardvark Boat Storagel was approved on the
property almost three (3) years ago. The plans were resubmitted with amendments
earlier this year and resubmitted with changes to the site plan in February of 1998.
The applicant that I represent, Mr. Andrew Sandford of Sandford Properties, is
prepared to build the structure that was approved in the February, 1998 case,
exactly as it was approved if the P&Z and Council are disinclined to accept the
revisions he has proposed for his new project. The new project does represent a
more desirable project than the Aardvark facility from many respects.

1 • The project is more in line with the architecture and aesthetics that the P&Z
and Council have promoted in the downtown area.
2. The project has a higher quality finish and masonry. Split face as opposed to
CMU on the walls, for example.
3. The project will offer less boat and RV storage, and will therefore not have
to have the amount of high roofs visible from Northwest Highway or through
the security gate.
4. The project is smaller and therefore will be less visible and have less of a
traffic impact.
5. Mr. Sandford is proposing to subdivide his property thus dramatically
reducing the frontage exposure of the storage facility and allowing a future
new business use on Northwest Highway. His plan is to sell the newly
created parcel, hopefully for a restaurant development.
We will illustrate these and other advantages at the public hearing and through the
process to staff.
We are informed by staff that the only way to allow the upstairs caretakertsecurity
residence on the second floor is to amend the "CC" zoning ordinance to include
this allowance as it currently exists in "LI". While we have no problem asking for
such an amendment, Mr. Sandford does not want to "open a can of worms" by
requesting a new allowance within "CC' that would affect all future "CC" cases or
grant this provision as a right of "CC' coning. Bather, he would prefer to have the
"CC" zoning amended to allow for a request for the caretaker/security residence.
This permit would have to be requested by the applicant and approved on a case
by case basis by the P&Z and Council at the same time the case was being
reviewed.
Mr. Sandford's project is in somewhat of a difficult position with respect to time.
We need to have our submittals in for the November 2nd deadline in order to make
the December meeting to make the closing schedule set out in the contract by the
property owner.
Mr. Sandford's property would be an improvement over what is currently allowed
and what currently may be built on this property simply by requesting a building
permit. He sincerely wants to make the property better for the corridor and better
for the City or he would simply build what is already approved. We appreciate your
consideration of this request and look forward to presenting our case.

ITEM 8
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1998
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AM98-08; SECTION 25, "CC"
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that that the City Council consider the proposed changes to Section 25,
"CC" Community Commercial District and take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Section 27. C.16
Under the current ordinance, public storage garages, including mini -storage warehouses
for storage purposes only, are allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the
"CC" Community Commercial District. The current ordinance does not allow on -premise
resident quarters. Mr. Trent Petty, President of CMPA, Inc., submitted the request and the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended setting a public hearing to consider the
amendment at their November 17, 1998 meeting. No other districts, except "LI" Light
Industrial District allows as an accessory use, the on -premise residence for watchmen or
caretakers whose employment requires residence on the premise. If this amendment were
approved, it would allow the on -premise residence for watchmen and caretakers, with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
Section 27.N.4
The ordinance currently sets the minimum distance between detached principal or
accessory buildings, on the same lot, at not less than forty (40) feet. Mr. Mike Brown,
General manager of Classic Chevrolet, has requested that City Council and the Planning
and Zoning Commission consider an amendment that would allow a reduction of this
required forty (40) foot separation. The amendment would give City Council the authority
to modify the required distance between principal or accessory buildings on the same lot
through a Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with Planned Commercial Centers.
Classic Chevrolet currently has a conditional use request that, if approved, would allow the
addition of approximately 196,640 square feet of shade structures. These structures would
serve primarily to protect new and used vehicles from hail damage. This conditional use
request necessitated Mr. Brown's request for an amendment to the zoning ordinance.

H.T. HARDY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 5, 1999
SUBJECT: ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AM98-08; SECTION 25, "CC
COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
consider the proposed changes to Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District and
take any other action necessary.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Under the current ordinance, public storage garages, including mini -storage warehouses
for storage purposes only, are allowed with approval of a Conditional Use Permit within the
"CC" Community Commercial District. As Section 25, "CC" Community Commercial District
is currently written, it does not allow on -premise resident quarters. At the December 15,
1998 joint public hearing the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council
considered a request to revise Section 25 to allow as a conditional use, residence quarters
for caretakers of public storage facilities and mini -storage warehouses. This request was
tabled to the January 5, 1999 meeting because of concerns associated with the number
of families and family members that could possibly reside in the residence quarters. No
other districts, except "LI" Light Industrial District allows as an accessory use, the on -
premise residence for watchmen or caretakers whose employment requires residence on
the premise. If this amendment were approved, it would allow the on -premise residence
for watchmen and caretakers, with approval of a conditional use permit.

SUBJECT: COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT REGULATION AMENDMENTS
Staff is preparing to present two amendments to the Zoning Ordinance before City Council
and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The amendments specifically address issues
concerning Section 25 "CC" Community Commercial District Regulations. The first
amendment, Section 25.C.16, would allow residential facilities for watchmen or caretakers,
which requires residence on a premise, to be approved as a conditional use. The second
amendment, Section 25.N.4, would allow the minimum distance between principal or
accessory buildings on the same lot to be waived, if deemed necessary by City Council to
accommodate for accessory structures.
Enclosed is a draft copy of Section 25 "CC" Community Commercial District Regulations
for your review. Please return comments to staff regarding the two proposed amendments
by Tuesday, 24 November 1998. This date is facilitated by the need to advertise the
proposed amendments on Wednesday, 25 November 1998.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Staff can be reached at (817)
410-3155.

RE: Proposed Zoning Amendment C - C
Pursuant to your request dated November 21, 1998, 1 have reviewed the
proposed amendments to the C -C District Zoning •
The amendment to conditional use to include facilities for watchmon or
earetakers is fine. Would the term "caretakers' include domestics, cooks, nurses,
rs-wtny's etc?
The building separation "waiver" in N. I suggest we use the term "modified"
instead of "waived".
