In the Commission "s deliberation session, Cathy Martin moved, with a second by Steve Stamos, to approve the conditional use request with a waiver to Section 47.E.2. in accordance with ;section 47.F. which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Cook, Oliver, Martin, Young, Balvin, Stamos and Martinez Nays: None 3 P & Z Minutes 2/21/95 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE GRAPEVINE COMPREHENSIVE ZONINO ORDINANCE NO 82 -73 Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation were the proposed amendments to Section 12, Definitions; Section 25, Community Commercial District; Section 31, Light Industrial District; Section 58, Parking and Loading Area Standards; Section 60, Sign Standards; and the creation of Section 30, Recreation /Amusement District and Section 32, Business Park District. Tommy Hardy, Director of Development Services, explained that the City Council had authorized Staff to set a public hearing in February to consider eliminating the floor area ratio (0.40 - total building area divided by total lot area) requirement of Section 25, Community Commercial District. Through the site plan review process of the Radisson Hotel development, Staff found that although the proposed development met the maximum height limitation, exceeded the minimum 30 percent landscaping /open space requirement, and was below the maximum impervious area of 70 percent, the applicant still exceeded the maximum floor area ratio. In reviewing the matter, Staff found that cities typically do not regulate the floor area ratio when there is a building height limitation. The maximum building height in conjunction with the minimum landscaping /open space and maximum impervious area requirements are what really determines the maximum floor area allowable. Currently the ordinance regulates the floor area ratio with both height limitation and a fixed floor area ratio, which conflict. The proposed amendment will eliminate the conflict by allowing the maximum height, the minimum landscaping /open space area and the maximum impervious area to regulate the floor area ratio. Over the last year the Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff have been working on two main projects, the Northwest Quadrant Land use Study and review of Section 31, Light Industrial District. The Commission, after the initial review of the existing land uses and zoning, and after a public hearing and several workshops, asked Staff to create a new district that would incorporate a variety of commercial recreation and amusement uses that would be amenable to the residential areas. The Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the proposed Section 30, Recreation /Amusement District twice recommending a public hearing be set to consider the public input and adoption of the proposed district. There has been concern expressed in the past of the uses allowed in the Light Industrial District with outside storage. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Staff have been working diligently since the summer to make the necessary amendments that would alleviate the expressed concerns. The proposed amendments 4 P& Z Minutes 2/21/05 as a conditional use, most outside uses and all outside storage uses. The redesignate, a me ndments also clarif y i for Staff's purposes what s actually an accessory use and principal what a is rinci al use. The proposed amendments do not eliminate any use nor do they create any nonconformity. The Planning and Zoning Commission, in reviewing the Light Industrial District,, felt in view of the development trends that are occurring n other cities, there was a need - to � r • create a new district that would allow a combination of commercial and industrial to c uses into one district, while providing quality architectural and landscape design development standards. Currently the Light Industrial District does not allow any commercial or office uses unless they are accessory to the permitted use. The proposed Section 32, Business Park District allows a mixture of compatible commercial and industrial land uses with a limitation of associated outside uses. The ra osed amendments to Section 58, Parking and Loading Area Standards are a p p result of the amendments made in Section 31, Light Industrial. The proposed now clearly states all outside storage areas must be paved. The paving amendment y standards proposed are the recommendation of the Public works Director. The amendments to Section 80, Sign Standards are the results of the proposed T e Recreation /Amusement District and Business Park District. Proposed sign standards have been created for both districts. The sign standards for the Recreation/Amusement District are the same as the /Neighborhood Commercial, ea tion l Community Commercial and the Planned Commerce Development Districts. The sign standards for the Business Park District are similar to the Light Industrial and Planned Industrial Development Districts, except that pole signs are not allowed as an on- premise , i e si n• only wall awnin , canopy, marquee and ground signs are allowed. The preens g y g ground signs allowed in the Business Parr District have a maximum gross surface area of 200 square feet unlike ground sign allowed in other districts. Pittman expressed concerns regarding the minimum lot size of the Councilman p proposed Section 32, Business Park District. Members of the Council discussed the 30,000 minimum lot size and found it to be adequate for the proposed district. With no other questions, guests to speak, letters or petitions the public hearing was t q g closed . he Commission's deliberation session Marvin Balvin moved with a second by Kathy Int Dart pp . Inez to approve the amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The motion prevailed by the following vote: 5 P &.

Recreation/Amusement District to the 70% masonry requirement, creating separate ReC � requirements for the Business Park District because it requires 'loo l� masonry and creating a sep arate paragraph for masonry requirements in the Governmental use District.
