SERVICES
MEETING DATE: MAY 20, 2014
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP— AMENDMENTS TO ALL APPROPRIATE ZONING
DISTRICTS RELATIVE TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND
BUFFER YARDS; AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 23A, "GV"
GRAPEVINE VINTAGE DISTRICT
Staff recommends the Commission consider the proposed amendments to all appropriate
zoning districts relative to accessory structures and buffer yards and the proposed
amendments to Section 23A, "GV" Grapevine Vintage District, and take any necessary
action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the April 8, 2014 Planning and Zoning Commission workshop, discussion was held
relative to accessory structures and buffer yards in residential and non - residential zoning
districts; in addition, possible amendments to the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District were
also discussed. The proposed amendments are as follows:
Accessory structures and buffer yards in residential districts:
As previously discussed, a number of slight inconsistencies exist within the ordinance
relative to the height of accessory structures and their appropriate setback. The R -20 and
R -12.5 Districts allow for slightly taller accessory structures and accompanying additional
setback however this language was inadvertently carried over into the other residential
districts creating the impression that additional height was allowed. This discrepancy has
been corrected. There is also a distinction made between accessory structures and storage
buildings whereby storage buildings are limited in size and height relative to accessory
structures. Since a storage building is in essence an accessory structure, the reference to
storage buildings has been removed from the ordinance to avoid confusion and possible
conflict.
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,
0:\ZCU \wk052014.doc 5/14/2014 4:06:24 PM
light, sound, odors or other unwanted intrusions. Staff has occasionally been approached
by property owners who wish to reduce or eliminate this buffer requirement which can
greatly reduce the buildable area of a residential lot. During the April 8 workshop the
Commission recommended elimination of the 40 foot buffer requirement within the
residential zoning districts given the reduced height, increased building separation, and
landscaped buffer area requirement within the non - residential zoning districts when located
immediately adjacent to residential districts. Direction was given to increase the
landscaped buffer areas in non - residentially zoned districts to 20 feet if not already
established at that distance. Attached are the appropriate changes to those specific
zoning districts.
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. During the
April 8 workshop the following recommendations were made relative to specific
amendments to the "GV" Grapevine Vintage District:
Revision of the "Purpose" statement to eliminate reference to the district being used
as a buffer between residentially zoned property and properties of higher intensity
zoning.
• Transfer of those uses listed in the "Permitted Uses" section of the ordinance to the
"Accessory Uses" category.
• Removal of restaurant uses from the Conditional Use section of the ordinance and
allowed only as an accessory use. Some additional wording was also written stating
that food sales cannot exceed fifty (50) percent of gross sales.
Staff recommends the Commission review the attached amended ordinances and be
prepared to discuss any additions /changes if necessary.
