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

Grapevine Faith Christian School was granted a one-year extension for its planned development overlay and conditional use permit.

The Grapevine City Council approved that, denied a permit for a luxury garage and renewed a contract with Flock during the Jan. 20 joint meeting with planning and zoning.

Zooming in: Grapevine Faith Christian had plans for a new multipurpose facility and football seating, as well as an overlay plan approved to deviate from maximum height restrictions approved at a Sept. 17, 2024, 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.

One more thing: Council approved a renewal of Flock camera access from Flock Safety.

The cost for the renewal is $33,500 and is funded in the city’s Crime Control and Prevention Fund budget. The city has 13 cameras throughout town, according to city documents.
