MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: APRIL 16, 2013
SUBJECT. AM13-03—ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RELATIVE TO
REQUIRING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR NEW PARKING
LOTS AND PARKING LOT EXPANSIONS WITHIN THE
GRAPEVINE HISTORIC TOWNSHIP DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council considerthe
proposed amendment to Section 49, Special Uses relative to requiring a special use permit
for new parking lots and parking lot expansions within the Grapevine Historic Township
District and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the February 19, 2013 public hearing, one of the requests involved a parking plan that
could have allowed the construction of a parking lot within the College Street Historic
District. This would have been a more intensive use that would reach into a portion of the
district that is somewhat residential in nature. Furthermore, the large parking lot would have
consumed a great deal of green space on the historic property, significantly altering the
aesthetics of the neighborhood.
At a March 5, Council workshop to discuss the matter and a subsequent discussion at a
March 1 workshop, it was generally agreed that Council oversight should be
required for new parking lots and the expansion of existing parking lots in the downtown
area of the city. With that goal in mind, Section 49, Special Uses has been amended to
require a special use permit for stand alone new parking lots or the expansion of existing
parking lots in excess of fours ces within the Grapevine Historic Township District. See
the attached ordinance.
