Analysis

 

SUMMARY:

Zoning Change and Concept Plan for a horizontal mixed use development on 55.5 acres, including Commercial, Retail, Multi-Family, and Single Family Townhouse uses, and allowing for one restaurant with a drive-through, two hotels, and a bank with a drive-through by right.  Tract 7, William Reed Survey, Abstract No. 1193, and Tract 1.1, Frederick Dohme Survey, Abstract No. 395, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, zoned PD-331, within the SH-161 Overlay District, and generally located on the northwest corner of S Forum Dr. and SH-161.

 

PURPOSE OF REQUEST:

The purpose of the request is to create a planned development for single family townhouse, multi-family, and commercial uses in the SH-161 Corridor Overlay District.

 

ADJACENT LAND USES:

The following table summarizes the zoning designation and existing use for the surrounding properties.

HISTORY:

                     October 7, 2003: City Council approved PD-294, creating a planned development district for multi-family and general retail uses.

                     October 18, 2011: City Council approved PD-331, creating a planned development district for commercial uses.

 

PROJECT UPDATE:

                     At its May 6, 2019 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 8-0 to deny Case Number Z190302/CP190302.

                     The applicant appealed the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision to deny, requesting that the case be forwarded to City Council.

                     The applicant made the following changes to the concept plan: shifted the location of uses in Zone B so that multi-family uses framed the ceremonial drive, eliminated an alternative that would allow a portion of Zone C to be developed for commercial use, and reduced the number of fast food restaurants allowed by right from two to one.

                     At its May 21, 2019 meeting, City Council remanded the case back to the Planning and Zoning Commission due to the scope of changes made by the applicant.

                     On July 22, 2019, the applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) to the Transportation Department for review.  In response to Transportation Department’s comments, the applicant eliminated two of the drives off of SH-161 and added decel lanes for the remaining three drives.

                     At its September 9, 2019 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend denial by a vote of 5-2.

                     The applicant requested to table to the October 15 City Council meeting in order to address the number of variances requested.

 

PROPOSED USE CHARACTERISTICS AND FUNCTION:

The Concept Plan depicts a horizontal mixed use development that includes the following elements:

                     102 single family townhouse units with a gated entry, private road, and amenity center;

                     325 multi-family units in four buildings;

                     Commercial uses along the SH-161 frontage road, including retail, restaurants, offices, a bank, and two hotels;

                     A child day care facility north of Forum Drive and adjacent to the west property boundary;

                     A ceremonial drive off of SH-161 with a tree-planted median that terminates at the gated entry for the townhomes with a view of the amenity center;

                     Designated open spaces for three of the retail/restaurant/office buildings;

                     Enhanced paving at intersections and major walkways; and

                     A linear open space amenity and trail that stretches most of the length of the development.

 

CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:

Mixed Use development should include a mixture of retail, high density residential, personal service and some limited office uses in a pedestrian oriented development.  The proposal is consistent with the FLUM and following goals, policies, and objectives in the 2010 Comprehensive Plans:

                     Goal 8: Provide recreational options and protect open space;

                     Objective 2: Encourage development that will reduce urban sprawl;

                     Objective 2, Policy 4: Encourage land use patterns that reflect a mix of integrated community uses; and

                     Objective 3, Policy 13: Locate higher density residential uses along roadways designated as minor arterials, principle arterials or limited access thoroughfares.

 

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:

The PD ordinance would establish "Use Zones" dividing the property roughly into three zones running parallel to 161. The following proposed Planned Development regulations correspond to each zone.

Zone A - Commercial Freeway Frontage

The applicant is proposing a base zoning district of General Retail-One (GR-1).  Allowable uses will be those provided for in the Unified Development Code (UDC) for General Retail-One Districts with the changes listed below. 

                     The applicant is proposing to prohibit Convenience Stores with Gasoline Sales in this zone.  The UDC allows Convenience Stores with Gasoline Sales with City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit. 

                     The applicant is also proposing to allow Restaurant with a Drive-Through by Specific Use Permit.

The table below compares the existing GR-1 standards with the proposed standards.

Zone B - Multi-Family and Limited Retail Buffer

The applicant is proposing base zoning districts of Multi-Family Three (MF-3) and General Retail-One (GR-1).  Commercial development will be subject to the proposed General Retail-One Standards shown in Table 2.  Allowable uses will be those provided for in the Unified Development Code (UDC) for General Retail-One Districts with the changes listed below.

                     The applicant is proposing to prohibit Convenience Stores with Gasoline Sales in this zone.  The UDC allows Convenience Stores with Gasoline Sales with City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit.

                     The applicant is proposing to allow two Hotels by Specific Use Permit. The UDC requires a Specific Use Permit for a hotel when located within 300 feet of a residential zoning district, within a designated overlay district, or within 900 feet of a similar use.

Multi-family development will be subject to standards for Multi-Family Three (MF-3) District with some modifications.  The table below compares existing multi-family standards to the proposed standards.

VARIANCES AND EXCEPTIONS (Post-P&Z Amendments in italics):

1.                     Signage - The applicant is requesting a total of five multi-tenant signs.  The concept plan does not show the location or design of the signs.  Theoretically, the applicant could construct five multi-tenant signs in the PD district and still meet sign standards in the UDC. (Developer will submit Unified Signage Plan if zoning is approved.)

2.                     Buffers Between Uses - The applicant is proposing to construct the development without the required landscape buffers and masonry screening wall between commercial and residential uses within the subject property. (No Change)

3.                     Restaurants with a Drive-Through by Right in Zone A - The applicant is proposing to allow one fast food restaurant with a drive-through by right and to limit the total number of restaurants with a drive-through to four.  The proposed PD standards include language that differentiates between a coffee shop with a drive-through, a fast casual restaurant with a drive-through, and a fast food restaurant with a drive-through. (Developer will require SUP for drive-thru restaurants. Staff is still recommending that no drive-thru be constructed south of or adjacent to the promenade.)

4.                     Hotels by Right in Zone B - The applicant is proposing to allow two hotels by right.  A hotel requires City Council approval of a Specific Use Permit when it is located within 300 feet of a residential zoning district, within an overlay district, or within 900 feet of a similar use. (Developer will require SUP for hotels.)

5.                     Child Care Facility by Right in Zone C - The applicant is proposing to allow a Child Care Facility by right.  Child Care Facilities require a Specific Use Permit in all zoning districts. (Developer will require SUP for child care center.)

6.                     General Retail-One (GR-1) Density and Dimensional Standards - The applicant is proposing the following changes to the density and dimensional standards: decrease the required side setback, not require a maximum building height, and increase the floor area ratio (FAR). (Developer will be required to meet GR-1 density and dimensional standards.)

7.                     Multi-Family Three (MF-3) Density and Dimensional Standards - The applicant is proposing the following changes to the density and dimensional standards: increase the allowable dwelling units per acre from 26 to 40, allow one-bedroom units for up to 70% of the total units, decrease the setbacks, and increase the allowable lot coverage to 80% if structured parking is constructed. (No Change)

8.                     Multi-Family Three (MF-3) Parking - The applicant is proposing a parking ratio of 1.3 parking spaces per unit and that 10% of the parking spaces be provided in a garage. (No Change)

9.                     Multi-Family One (MF-1) Density and Dimensional Standards - The applicant is proposing the following changes to the density and dimensional standards: decrease the minimum lot size, decrease the front and rear building setbacks, and decrease the maximum allowable height to 40 feet. (Developer withdraws request for "Hybrid Housing"; no MF-1 base zoning proposed.)

10.                     Multi-Family One (MF-1) Parking - The applicant is proposing that garages account for a minimum of 20% of required parking spaces and that carports account for a minimum of 30% of required parking spaces. (Developer withdraws request for "Hybrid Housing"; no MF-1 base zoning proposed.)

11.                     Single Family Townhouse (SF-T) Density and Dimensional Standards - The applicant is proposing the following changes to the density and dimensional standards: decrease the front and side setbacks, increase the maximum allowable height from 35 feet to 40 feet, and increase the maximum allowable lot coverage from 60% to 70%. (Developer withdraws request for 40 foot height minimum.)

12.                     Single Family Townhouse (SF-T) Parking - The applicant is proposing that garages account for 25% of required parking spaces. (Developer will be required to meet SF-T parking standards.)

 

PZ RECOMMENDATION:

At its September 9, 2019 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to deny by a vote of 5-2.

 

DRC RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the mix of uses and with the remaining variances, and also recommends the following conditions be attached to any motion to approve:

1.                     Development must meet the intent and all other requirements of Appendix F and Appendix W;

2.                     No vacant lot should front the promenade once it's constructed. Both sides of the promenade must be built together, or with an amenitized and usable park on the entire opposite side;

3.                     The developer shall establish an HOA for the townhomes and the HOA shall be responsible for maintaining the entire exterior including landscaping and residences;

4.                     One row of parallel parking should be the only parking along the easternmost north-south street and the promenade; and

5.                     Buildings shall maintain a consistent build-to line along the entirety of any internal street.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS:

SECTION 1.                      

THAT Ordinance Number 4779, being the Zoning Ordinance and Map of the City of Grand Prairie, Texas, showing the locations and boundaries of certain districts, and said Zoning Ordinance and Map having been made a part of an Ordinance entitled:

                     “AN ORDINANCE AMENDING IN ITS ENTIRETY CHAPTER 28 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS, AS PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE 20TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1990, TOGETHER WITH ALL AMENDMENTS THERETO AND ENACTING A REVISED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AND PROVIDING FOR ZONING REGULATIONS; CREATING USE DISTRICTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN…”

and passed and approved November 20, 1990, as amended, is hereby further amended so as to rezone from its classification of Planned Development 331 (PD-331) District to a Planned Development for Commercial, Multi-Family Residential, Single Family Townhouse, and Single Family Detached and Attached Uses; as depicted in Exhibit A - Boundary Description.

SECTION 2. Purpose and Intent

THAT the purpose of this planned development is to establish appropriate restrictions and development controls necessary to ensure predictable land development, safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, compatible uses of land and compliance with appropriate design standards. 

SECTION 3. Development Standards

THAT any development on the property described herein shall substantially comply with the following development standards as well as Exhibit D - Supplemental Zoning Standards:

I.                     Applicability

All development on land within the boundaries of this Planned Development District shall adhere to the rules and regulations set forth in this ordinance. The locations of buildings, parking areas, amenity areas, trails, fencing, and other common areas shall substantially conform to the locations shown in Exhibit B - Concept Plan.

II.                     Use Zone Boundaries

                     A. For the purposes of determining the boundaries of Use Zones as the term is used in Section 3.III of this ordinance, the boundaries of Use Zones will run roughly parallel to the State Highway 161 Frontage Road and roughly perpendicular to Forum Drive.

                     B. The use zones will divide the property into approximate thirds north to south, with the northernmost boundary of all zones being the northern boundary of the property and the southernmost boundary of all zones being the Forum Drive right of way line.

                                          1.                     The eastern boundary of Zone A is the westernmost right of way line of the State Highway 161 Frontage Road and the western boundary of Zone A is set at a distance equal to approximately one-third the depth of the property as                                                                measured from the State Highway 161 Frontage Road right of way line.

                                          2.                     The eastern boundary of Zone B is the western boundary of Zone A and the western boundary of Zone B is set at a distance equal to approximately one-third the depth of the property as measured from the State Highway 161 Frontage                                           Road right of way line.

                     C. A zone may be interpreted as extending past the boundary determined by the one-third depth of property measure for the purpose of complying with layout of roads and driveways as depicted on the Concept Plan, but no boundary interpretation shall be made that results in the granting of an adminstrative variance from the density and dimensional requirements contained herein, or that results in fewer than two rows of townhome lots being developed within Zone C as depicted on the Concept Plan.
