MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 1995
SUBJECT: SUMMARY OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1995 PLANNING & ZONING
COMMISSION WORKSHOP
A. Tree Removal Permit TR95-06 - Gary Cooper submitted a tree removal permit
applicant for the property located at 3115 Ira E. Woods Avenue, platted as Lot
1, Block 1, Mustang Square (adjacent to the GCISD Administration Building).
The applicant is requesting to allow the removal of trees prior to the issuance
of a building permit. The site plan is in the approval process. Public Works has
reviewed and approved the civil construction plans as proposed. The applicant
will be submitting a building permit in the next few weeks. See the attached
memo from Public Works. Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning
Commission to take any action deemed necessary.
B. Amendments to allow Antennas on Existing Transmission Towers and
Permitted Structures - Masterplan submitted a request for PCS PrimeCo, L.P.
to the Planning and Zoning Commission to review their proposal and consider
amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow antennas on existing transmission
towers and on permitted structures. Currently, Section 49, Special Use
Permits requires a special use permit for radio, television, or microwave towers
in any business, commercial or industrial district and any microwave antennas
and receivers in any district. See the attached letter and pictures of the
proposal. Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission take any
action deemed necessary.
C. Review the Future Land Use Map II of the Comprehensive Master Plan - Staff,
as a result of the City Zoning Case in August and the Town Revitalization
project, would like the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the Original
Town area and the Northside Addition. The majority of these areas are land
use planned for either medium density or high density. Development indicators
show these areas would have a better chance of redeveloping if land use plan
designations and zoning districts were for less dense development. See the
circled areas on the attached Draft Future Land Use Map II. This map reflects
all the land use updates that have occurred in the last two years with the
corridor and quadrant studies. Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning
Commission take any action deemed necessary.
0:\ZCU\PZW928.95
D. Section 31, Liaht Industrial Relative to Freight Movers and Truck Terminals -
Staff would like to bring to your attention concerns about allowing, as a
permitted use, freight movers and truck terminals in Light Industrial Districts.
Staff will provide a map at the meeting indicating the proximity of Light
Industrial Areas to Single Family Residential areas. Staff recommends the
Planning and Zoning Commission authorize Staff to set a public hearing on
October 17, 1995.
E. Section 25, Community Commercial Relative to Planned Commercial Centers -
Staff has proposed specific language for Planned Commercial Centers in excess
of 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area in the Community Commercial
District only. The proposed language would give the Council and the
Commission the ability to waive any of the requirements in the Community
Commercial District except for alcoholic beverage sale requirements. Staff
recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission authorize Staff to set a
public hearing on October 17, 1995.
F. Consider Design Criteria Specifically for Hotels and Motels - Staff has been
researching design criteria for exterior grills on through the wall HVAC units for
hotels and motels. As a result of this research, Staff has come across several
other design criteria items you may want to review. Please see the attached
ordinances. Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission take any
action deemed necessary.
G. Consider the 1996 Tri -Annual Workshop Dates - Staff reviewed the calendar
for 1996 in accordance with the Commission Bylaws and has proposed the
dates for next year's workshops. Please see the attachment: Proposed Tri -
Annual Workshop Dates and review your personal calendars for conflicts.
H. - Procedures During Planning and Zoning Commission Deliberation Sessions -The
Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission requested Staff to include
this item to discuss procedures and policies that pertain to the Commission.

Re: Mustang Square Addition
Dear Marcy,
As you know we are in the process of beginning construction on Phase 1 of the above referenced
project. Due to the existing topography of the site it has become necessary for us to also extend
utilities and do the required grading on the Phase 2 portion of the project at this time. The main
reason necessitating this work at this time is for proper drainage of the site and to balance the cuts
and fills so no more land than is necessary is disturbed. The underground utility lines to serve Phase
1 will also impact a part of Phase 2. Based on initial conversations with prospective tenants the
developer of the project has also indicated he hopes the construction of Phase 2 would begin in the
near future and doing this work at this time would facilitate the completion of that phase.
Should you have questions concerning this project please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
f

MEMORANDUM CITY OF GRAPEVINE TEXAS
Department of Public Works -�s-
TO: Marcy Ratcliff, Planner GRAPEVINE
FROM: Ed Kellie
SUBJECT: Tree removal and site grading at Mustang Square S
DATE: September 18, 1995
P Ep 1 � 1995
Public Works has reviewed the Construction Plans for the proposed Mustang Square retail
development.
The developer has proposed constructing this site in two phases, Phase I and Phase II, and
intends to grade the entire site and complete all public improvements with Phase I construction.
The site grading plan encompasses the entire site. The grading plan intends to level the site
using surpluses from some areas to fill other areas (balancing cut and fill operations). Most of
the area reserved for Phase II is scheduled to receive fill from cuts in the Phase I area. Very
little of the area reserved for Phase H will remain at natural grade, so it is unlikely any trees can
remain on this area. The fill on Phase H also allows the site to drain as designed.
The denial of a tree removal permit at this time would mean that cut dirt would have to be
removed from this site to be replaced with imported fill dirt at the time of Phase II construction.
It is the developer's intention to develop Phase II as soon as Phase I is leased.
Public Works recommends that the tree removal permit be issued in the interests of site drainage
and economy.

September 14, 1995
Mr. Larry Oliver, Chairman
Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Grapevine
PO Box 95104
Grapevine, Texas 76099
Dear Mr. Oliver and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission:
This letter is to request the opportunity to address the Planning and Zoning Commission
during your September 26, 1995 work session. We would like to discuss an amendment to
the zoning ordinance to allow the placement of mounted antennas on existing transmission
towers and other permitted structures by right. Currently, the Grapevine Zoning Ordinance
requires a Special Use Permit for all antennas, including those mounted on existing
structures.
Masterplan is representing PCS PrimeCo, L.P., a newly licensed Personal
Communications Services (PCS) company. PrimeCo's goals are to provide innovative,
easy-to-use, affordable wireless communications services. The new PCS technology is a
digital generation of wireless communications services, including voice, data and video.
PrimeCo's intent is to minimize the impact on community aesthetics by mounting antennas
on existing structures and to avoid building new monopoles when possible. PrimeCo has a
partnership with TU Electric, which, along with the development of new technology,
makes it feasible for the antennas to be placed on existing transmission towers. This
provides an opportunity to utilize these existing structures as an alternative to building new
towers.
Most of the transmission towers in the Grapevine area are around 100 feet tall. Placing
antennas on these existing towers has no additional impact on adjacent uses and the
surrounding area. In addition, allowing the placement of these antennas on other existing
structures, such as on the top of buildings or within church steeples, provides an incentive
to WirelPcc nrPrHTorc to find alternat;f'�I t'J qui ing w I`ii7;cOp�le f- We v�v'c iiavC
slides of antennas that have been mounted on buildings around the metroplex which we
would like to show you.
Masterplan is in the process of reviewing zoning ordinances in metroplex cities to
determine whether existing ordinances allow the placement of antennas on transmission
towers and other permitted structures, and if not, to facilitate amendments to these
ordinances. So far, we have 100% support for the concept. Three metroplex cities allow
mounted antennas by right, and we are in the process of working with other communities
to amend their ordinances.
We would appreciate the Commission authorizing a public hearing on October 17, 1995 to
amend the zoning ordinance regarding mounted antennas. We are prepared to work with
city staff to provide draft language which would allow mounted antennas of 12 feet or less
on non residential structures in all zoning districts, with the exception of the Historic
Landmark Subdistrict.
