The Grapevine City Council on Tuesday night approved proposals for a commercial bakery on historic Main Street and a theatrical center on Northwest Hwy. But it denied plans for an automotive service business within an existing retail space on William D. Tate Avenue.

Following a 7-0 recommendation from the city's Planning and Zoning Commission, the council approved a permit for the owner of Main Street Bread Baking Company to establish a commercial bakery at 316 Barton St., behind the existing business.

Plans are to transition a portion of the baking operation to the new site, said Jennifer Alford with Cross Timbers Architect representing Main Street Bread Baking Company.

"All public access will remain at the restaurant, while the bakery will accommodate three to five employees depending on the size of the event that they are coordinating," she said.

The council also approved a permit for Ohlook Performing Arts Center to establish a theatrical center and classroom totaling 2,300-square-foot of space at 1631 W. Northwest Hwy. Plans call for combining two existing suites to be used for the venture within Northwest Plaza Shopping Center.

Board president Elizabeth van Amerongen said the new theater and classroom will help to bring new customers to the shopping center.

"Ohlook Performing Arts Center has enjoyed an ongoing relationship with the City of Grapevine and the Grapevine Convention Bureau for nine years and considers Grapevine home," she said. "Ohlook provides a unique and important community benefit and your approval of the conditional use permit will ensure the continuation of this already successful partnership."

Mayor William D. Tate said the business would help to create energy in the shopping center. There are 19 existing businesses in the center and four vacant spaces.

"I think that it is a good match for them and it is a good match for the center," he said.

The council denied a permit for the establishment of the window tinting and automotive styling franchise, Tint World, within a single-story retail building at 1231 William D. Tate Ave. Plans for the business included providing window tinting, audio, outdoor detailing and alarm services for cars.

The commission voted 4-3 to recommend Tint World for a conditional use permit. However, Councilwoman Darlene Freed made a motion to deny the proposal and Councilman Chris Coy followed other council members. Councilmembers' primary concerns were the amount of noise that might be generated by such a business and whether it was a good fit for the site.

"I have a little heartburn with that kind of a facility in that particular location," Coy said.

Councilwoman Sharron Spencer was absent from the meeting.
