MEMO TO: MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: RON STOMBAUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES
MEETING DATE: MARCH 25, 2014
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP— AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 23A, "GV"
GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT RELATIVE TO RESTAURANT
USES AND A GENERAL DISCUSSION ON RESTAURANTS
WITHIN WINERIES; AMENDMENTS TO ALL APPROPRIATE
DISTRICTS RELATIVE TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND
BUFFER YARDS; DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO PHASING
RELATIVE TO MULTI - PHASED PROJECTS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Commission consider possible amendments to Section 23A, "GV
Grapevine Vintage District relative to restaurant uses; amendments to all appropriate
districts relative to accessory structures and buffer yards; and be prepared to discuss the
phasing of multi - phased projects, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Section 23A, "GV" Grapevine Vintage District and a general discussion on
restaurants within wineries:
As the ordinance is currently written, restaurants and restaurants with outside dining are
allowed as a permitted use within the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District. A recent conditional
use request within the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District in which a restaurant with outside
dining, on- and off - premise beer and wine sales, and outside amplified musical
entertainment was proposed brought attention to the possibility that these types of uses
might be incompatible within an area comprised of single family residences. Although this
district was designed to act as a buffer between uses of higher intensity and residential
uses, staff recommends the Commission consider possible amendments to the "GV"
Grapevine Vintage District that minimize the impact of uses that could be considered
intrusive to existing single family residents. Possibilities include requiring a conditional use
permit for any restaurant uses adjacent/contiguous to existing single family residentially
zoned property or within a defined proximity, as well as requiring a conditional use permit
for outside dining and any outside or amplified entertainment. See the attached ordinance.
Additionally, at the March 18 public hearing, some Council members expressed concern
0:\ZCU \1 workshop items 2014 \032514 \wk032514.doc
3/20/2014 11:23:56 AM
with the possibility of a restaurant use in conjunction with a winery in the "CBD" Central
Business District. The zoning ordinance currently allows restaurants as an accessory use
in conjunction with a winery. The Commission may want to discuss additional regulation of
restaurants in conjunction with wineries in all districts.
Accessory structures and buffer yards in residential districts:
All of our residential zoning districts (R -20, R -12.5, R -7.5, R -5.0, R -TH, R -3.75, R -3.5) have
guidelines which establish the height of accessory structures and provide for additional
setback relative to height (R -20 and R -12.5 only). A number of slight inconsistencies exist
relative to both of these areas throughout the district regulations and staff is recommending
some minor changes to correct them. The R -20 and R -12.5 Single Family Districts provide
for accessory structures up to 1.5 stories or 20 feet in height, however for accessory
structures greater than 16 feet in height, additional setback is required. This language is
carried over into several other districts (R -7.5 and R -5.0) but is unnecessary since
accessory structure height in these districts is capped at 16 feet. A distinction is also made
between accessory structures and storage buildings with the height of a storage building
limited to ten feet in height. Staff recommends elimination of the reference to storage
buildings completely given that conflicts can arise relative to the use of an accessory
structure — whether the structure is used for storage or some other activity, it is still
considered an accessory structure.
Currently all residential districts require a 40 foot buffer be established when developed
adjacent to an existing multifamily district or non - residential district. This buffer is required
to adequately provide separation between dissimilar uses and help mitigate any unwanted,
light, sound, odors or other unwanted intrusions. Staff has occasionally been approached
by property owners who wish to reduce or eliminate the buffer requirement which can
greatly reduce the buildable area of a residential lot. In order to provide some mechanism
to allow property owners the ability to waive all or a part of the buffer requirement staff is
recommending the addition of the following language to the Buffer Area Regulations of
each residential zoning district:
• For individual single family lots that are developed and occupied or that are
under construction, located adjacent to an existing multifamily district or non-
residential district, the property owner may request to waive all or part of the
forty (40) foot buffer requirement. The rear yard and side yard setback
requirements shall still apply.
This will allow single family residents that occupy their homes and who are fully aware of
the non - residential development they are located adjacent to, the ability to waive all or part
of the buffer requirement.
The Commission and staff discussed the accessory structures and buffer yard
amendments during a work shop held on July 16, 2013 but the portion relative to the buffer
0:\ZCU \1 workshop items 2014 \032514 \wk032514.doc

iq
yard requirement was left unresolved.
Phasing of multi phased projects:
Occasionally during the development process the Commission and Council will consider
projects that have an undermined timeline relative to completion. In general, an applicant
will discuss the basic parameters of the first phase of a multi -phase project with an
estimated timeline of the completion of the rest of the phases. Recently staff became
involved in a dilemma relative to a multi -phase project in which the applicant was initially
unwilling to construct the necessary components (drive lanes, parking) to fully serve the
needs of the site. This situation was eventually resolved. Staff is not recommending any
particular ordinance amendment to address this issue; however, it may become necessary
in the future for the Commission to consider making specific recommendations on what
expectations /components of a multi -phase project will be required as part of an initial
phase of construction.
