3 things you may have missed from the Jan. 20 Grapevine City Council meeting

According to city documents, the plan for 730 E. Worth St. was to feature a two-story, 260,000-square-foot facility that would include locker rooms, concessions, restrooms, a weight room, training rooms, offices, meeting rooms and a press box.

Penny Guice, director of operations for Grapevine Faith Christian School, wrote in a letter to the council that the plans have changed and the school would like to move forward with the construction of the home and visitor bleachers in 2026, but no exact date was listed.

Phase 1 construction will include seating for 550 people to 600 people, storage underneath bleachers and a new press box. Utilities will be added for future connections to a new fieldhouse and indoor practice facility for the home bleachers. For the visitor bleachers, a sidewalk will be added from the restroom facility.

Guice wrote that demolition of the existing fieldhouse, parking improvements, a new fieldhouse and an indoor practice facility will happen in the future, but no date has been determined.

A closer look

The planning and zoning commission and council voted to deny a conditional use permit for luxury garages at 1208 Texan Trail and 1030 Texan Trail.

The plan presented would have allowed 30 private condominium luxury garages with office/flex space on a 5.86-acre tract near Grapevine Station. The garages would have been sold in a condominium form of ownership, according to city documents.

In a letter to both bodies, developer J.B. Buffalo LLC stated the garages would be designed to meet growing regional demand for secure, high-quality storage and small office/hobby workspace. The primary use of storage is intended for luxury autos, off-road vehicles, recreational vehicles, boats, recreational equipment, personal collections and light office operations.

"I need a lot more information than what's given today because it looks like storage to me, just with the fancy door in the front," council member Leon Leal said.

One more thing

Council approved a renewal of Flock camera access from Flock Safety.

The city has 13 cameras throughout town that read license plates and help produce actionable evidence needed to deter, solve and reduce crime, according to city documents.

The cost for the renewal is $33,500 and is funded in the city’s Crime Control and Prevention Fund budget.
