(214) 632-6684 Coppell, TX 75019
FAX: (972) 735-9976
HISTORY: This property has been zoned Historic Overlay for quite some time.
There has been no recent development history on the subject
property, although the Old Coppell Master Plan, which was
discussed and accepted by City Council in April of 2002, included
this parcel. In August, Council questioned the residential component
of the Plan, particularly as it related to the D/FW Airport flight
patterns. In December Council and the Planning Commission held a
Item #4
Page 2 of 7
joint workshop to discuss the noise issue, among others. On May 13,
2003, Council amended the land use component of the 1996
Comprehensive Plan and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as
proposed in the Old Coppell Master Plan and as recommended in
April by the Planning Commission.
TRANSPORTATION:Coppell Road is an unimproved, two-lane asphalt road contained within a 50-
to 60-foot right-of-way. It is projected to be improved to a concrete
two-lane undivided road with a 60-foot right-of-way beginning in
mid-2005.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residential; PD-SF7
South – commercial; HO-C
East - single-family; PD-SF-7
West – light industrial; PD-LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Historic District classification to include
small-scale residential/retail/office/commercial uses. In
April of 2002, the Old Coppell Master Plan recommended
comparable uses with more detailed residential application
on the subject property.
DISCUSSION: Because of the complexity of this request, we will address
this application from the following issue areas:
1996 Comprehensive Plan
In May of 1996, City Council approved an update to the
Comprehensive Master Plan showing the subject property
as suitable for Historic District uses. Although not specific
in detail, that Plan recommended uses which would
preserve the character of the area. Because of a limited
budget (approximately $50,000), our consultant did not
address specific uses in the Historic District. He did,
however, include an example of his firm’s work on a
Historic District done in another Texas community
(Appendix B of the Plan), and recommended a similar
concept for our historic area. His example was quite
comprehensive and included Street Design, Land Use,
Building Height, Setbacks, Building Materials, Signs, and a
number of other important elements. Under Land Use he
listed retail/commercial, residential, mixed use, and
Item #4
Page 3 of 7
churches as desirable uses. More specifically related to the
residential component, he recommended a variety of types,
heights, setbacks, typical screening, and building materials
as appropriate for the district. The application submitted
here has incorporated many of those guidelines in this
request.
Old Coppell Master Plan
A continuing and growing interest in the area resulted from
the Comprehensive Plan, and to further elaborate and
clarify it, Council authorized a consultant study in
November of 2001 to refine the Plan and be more specific
with uses to be included in the area. The Old Coppell
Master Plan (an approximate 100-acre land area) addressed
that issue and was accepted by City Council in April of
2002. This plan presented a much more detailed analysis
of the area than the earlier Comprehensive Plan and
included the additional topics of urban design, streetscapes,
landscaping features, access and parking, among others. In
addition, detailed study was done on the appropriateness of
a residential component, where it should be located, its
density, building type, construction materials, and so on.
The Old Coppell Plan proposed additional single-family
and townhouse use for the area included in this request and
the application being considered here reflects that
recommendation.
Noise Impact
One topic not addressed by the Old Coppell Master Plan
was the issue of noise and its impact on proposed
residential development vis-à-vis aircraft noise generated
by the D/FW International Airport. To gain additional
information on this subject, City Council held a joint
session with the Planning Commission on December 10,
2002, to review potential noise impacts on residential
development. Representatives of the airport were in
attendance and stated they could take official action on
only those residential projects which were within the 65
Ldn flight noise contour, although they might be opposed
to any residential construction beyond that contour. In
looking at the possibility of noise irritation specified by
D/FW Airport noise guidelines, this proposal lies more than
1100 feet outside the 65 Ldn contour. It is, therefore, not a
major factor in staff analysis of determining whether this
use is appropriate based upon its location and by D/FW
staff testimony on December 10 (please see attached noise
contour exhibit). Therefore, although the Old Coppell
Item #4
Page 4 of 7
Master Plan did not specifically address the noise issue,
information provided by D/FW Airport staff at the
December 10 joint meeting, and the zoning request location
suggests no compelling legal reason to discourage
residential development on the subject parcel.
Conformance to the Plan
In reviewing the applicant’s requested land use and the use
proposed by the Old Coppell Master Plan, we find
compliance with the Plan. The elevations of the proposed
residential units fit well with the period architecture
suggested by our consultant. The street pattern is almost
identical to the one laid out in the study. The commercial
uses shown at the entry to the subdivision with the 15-foot
front yard setback and parking proposed to be located behind
the building were ideas endorsed and emphasized by the Old
Coppell Plan. The use proposed would eliminate a materials
storage yard, which currently backs-up to a very solid single-
family development, and initial response from that
neighborhood welcomes the proposed change.
Workshop Direction
On August 13, 2002, there was an item on the City Council
workshop agenda related to the Old Coppell Master Plan.
Specifically, the City Manager asked for direction regarding
the Plan. This request was based upon information the
Manager’s office had received indicating Council might not
be comfortable with the direction the study suggested,
particularly with regard to the residential recommendations.
During that workshop, Council discussed the 1996
Comprehensive Plan, the 2002 Old Coppell Master Plan, the
uses proposed in each document, the issue of airport noise
and its potential affect on the Old Coppell area. The ensuing
discussion revolved around the fact that the zoning of the
property contemplated for future residential development was
currently zoned HO-C, and that zoning classification does
not allow residential construction. After considerable
deliberation, the City Council instructed the City Manager
that Council’s position was to back the zoning, even though
the consultant felt residential uses were needed. In addition,
although the concept plan recommended residential uses, the
Council would not support it and instructed staff to
discourage any residential zoning applications within the
area.
Staff Concerns
Item #4
Page 5 of 7
Although we advised the applicant of the above-stated
comments, a request for rezoning was submitted for public
hearing. On the one hand, the applicant feels the Old Coppell
Master Plan clearly encourages residential development on
the subject property. The applicant further believes he has
addressed the suggestions made in that Plan relative to land
use, building type, construction materials, and the overall plan
of development. On the other hand, members of City Council
stated they did not recommend rezoning this property to
accommodate residential development.
From a planning perspective and reviewing this request
strictly from the Council’s Old Coppell Master Plan, this
application generally complies with that Plan. We do have
some concerns with this request. Although the use proposed
fits the general land use plan—residential development--the
density is greater than the plan suggests. The Plan calls out
approximately 29 single-family units, 13 townhouses, and a
total of 81 living units (roughly one-half would be living units
above retail below). This proposal calls for 19 townhouses
and 2 freestanding single-family structures. Although this
proposal reverses the number of freestanding structures and
the townhouse units, the concept is in line with the Old
Coppell Master Plan. With a slightly reduced density count,
this request complies.
An early concern related to a need for more specificity
regarding design details to show that this project is unique, as
it will set the pattern for future developments coming into the
area. Elements such as street furniture, the use of materials
other than concrete for sidewalks, curb design, street lighting
fixtures, custom street blades and address numbers are all
items that need to be carefully thought out to ensure unique
development results. The applicant has provided a listing of
“Old Coppell Master Plan Design Elements” (attached)
which addresses this concern. Because this is a conceptual
PD, (by ordinance, a detailed plan will be submitted within 6
months), staff is comfortable with this listing, provided
specific exhibits are provided when the Detailed PD is
submitted.
Finally, it must be restated that although this application
meets the recommendations of the Old Coppell Master Plan,
members of Council have stated they will not support
residential development on this tract. From a planning
perspective, the request addresses the recommendations of the
Plan.
Item #4
Page 6 of 7
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Although this is a conceptual PD plan, the applicant has
done a thorough job in reflecting the type of residential use
our consultant envisioned for Old Coppell. His conceptual
site plan is almost identical to the one outlined in the Plan,
and the uses proposed track with the consultants’
recommendations. The density is, however, somewhat
greater than that stated in the Plan and a reduction of two
to three units would be more in line with the Plan.
Additionally, the applicant needs to be a bit more creative
in establishing a unique housing environment in Coppell.
The Plan mentioned street furniture, unique street blades,
custom addressing plaques, brick sidewalks and a variety of
other unique design elements that this applicant needs to
consider. We understand these design concerns will be
addressed—as outlined in the “Old Coppell Master Plan
Design Elements”—with submission of a Detailed PD.
An additional tree is needed on the south end of the parking
bay; it appears that lot #4 on the southern parcel is
infringing upon the 15-foot rear yard setback; the concept
plan and landscape plan do not match with regard to the
subdivision entrance; the colored elevations exhibit does
not track with the site plan footprints for Block A, Lots 2-6;
how does one enter the bedroom on Plan TH-1?
If these concerns are addressed, this application complies
with the Old Coppell Master Plan. What it does not
comply with is the existing zoning on the property and the
position of some City Council members.
That said, staff recommends approval of this request
provided:
1. Density is reduced 3 units to comply with the
Old Coppell Master Plan.
2. Detailed plans will be submitted for approval
before any building permit is issued, including
the commercial parcels (which will require site
plan approval).
3. More detailed information regarding street
furniture, signage, building addresses, sidewalk
material, etc., is submitted for staff review prior
to Detailed PD approval.
Item #4
Page 7 of 7
4. A detailed plan for Phase I must be submitted
within 6 months of concept PD approval.
5. Developer needs to acknowledge that Phase I
development will require dedicated street access
and City approval of all street plans.
6. The above listed concerns in the staff report—
additional tree, lot #4, Block B rear yard
setback, floor plan issues, etc.-- are addressed to
staff’s satisfaction.
7. Front and side yard setbacks need to specify
minimum dimensions being proposed, as well as
average setbacks.
8. State minimum rear yard and garage setbacks on
site plan.
ALTERNATIVES
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

on the property, one of which is the subject of this application.
Item #5
Page 2 of 3
TRANSPORTATION:Bethel Road is an unimproved two-lane asphalt road contained within a
variable width r.o.w. The Thoroughfare Plan calls for it to be
developed with a minimum 27-foot pavement within 50 feet of right
of way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North-single-family residential: PD-SF9
South – single-family residential; PD-SF-9
East - single-family residence; SF-12
West –single-family residence; C-Commercial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for a use allowed in the Historic District
(residential uses are allowed).
DISCUSSION: A single-family house will be built on this lot just as
presented in the original zoning change request of 2000.
What has changed is the fact that the owner of this lot has a
client who proposes to build a stucco residence. As
outlined in the zoning ordinance, any material other than
defined masonry that exceeds 20% of the structure must
procure approval from the Planning Commission and City
Council before proceeding with construction. Because this
lot is in a PD, a condition specifying a stucco building
material would allow the development to proceed. The
residence proposed will have a tile roof, possesses a
number of architectural details that complement the stucco
building material, and warrants staff approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff supports this request provided the following conditions are followed:
-one curb cut will serve this and the adjacent lot to the east.
-a circulation plan that allows all vehicular maneuvering on the lots
and not on Bethel Road (read: no backing into Bethel Road).
-provision of a landscape plan for this lot which locates 21 caliper
inches (DBH) of trees as required in the original PD.(See Parks
Department comments, attached).
-compliance with all other conditions of the original PD.

HISTORY: In 1998 Council approved the Hager Containers Addition, which
contained 4.673 acres of property. This plat provided utility
easements and fire lanes. In 1992, S-1053 was approved for a 64’-
tall SWBT telecommunications tower to be established. This SUP
was amended in 1995 to increase the height of the tower to 100 feet.
Item # 6
Page 2 of 3
In August 1993, Council adopted an ordinance abandoning the fire
lane in the Hager Containers Addition to allow for the construction of
the telecommunications tower. This tower exists today.
The Freeport North plat was established in 1984. This tract is one of
the few remaining parcels that have not been replatted since the
original plat was approved.
In November 2001, Council approved PD-194 to allow the
development of six buildings, totaling approximately 1,775,600-
square feet, on 110 acres of property, which would be served by an
8.6-acre detention pond in the southeast corner of the site (adjacent
to Wagon Wheel Park and State Road). The following variations to
the Zoning Ordinance were approved as part of the Planned
Development: multiple monument signs, variances to the tree
mitigation requirements, the perimeter landscape requirements and
the provision of a living screen in lieu of a solid masonry screening
wall. A detail site plan and final plat for 308,000-square feet of
speculative office/warehouse on Tract 1A were also approved at
that time. The building has since been constructed and has been
occupied by Somera Communications.
In October 2002, Council approved PD-194R, to allow a detail site
plan and replat for the Staples 228,250-sq.ft. office/warehouse facility
with future expansion of 161,750-sq. ft.
In February 2003, Council approved PD-194R2, which amended the
Amberpoint PD to modify the industrial park identification sign
location and design and to incorporate an additional 9.102 acres into
this PD. This additional acreage, as well as a portion of the original
PD, is the subject of this replat.
TRANSPORTATION:Royal Lane is a C4D/6 four-lane divided thoroughfare in a right-of-way
containing 110’ of dedication (adequate for a six-lane divided
thoroughfare) to a point approx. 600’ north of the Northpoint Drive
intersection, where the road narrows to a two-lane undivided
roadway. The additional two lanes of pavement of Royal Lane are
scheduled to be complete in June of 2004. Northpoint Drive is a
C4D four-lane divided thoroughfare within 80’ of right-of-way
adjacent to this tract.

North: Office/warehouse, LI (Light Industrial)
South: Office/warehouse, LI (Light Industrial)
East: Office/warehouse, LI (Light Industrial)
West: Office/warehouse, LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: As discussed in the History section of this report, there is extensive zoning
and platting history of this area. To summarize, the subject property is
currently within three different subdivisions (Hager Containers, Freeport
North and AmberPoint Business Park), and a portion of this area has recently
been incorporated into the AmberPoint PD zoning district. Therefore, the
purpose of this request is to establish a lot for future development (Lot 1C)
and to reduce the size of the existing Lot 1B to be reflective of the existing
zoning and development of these lots.
Specifically, this replat reduces the size Lot 1B, which is developed with a
308,000 square-foot office warehouse (Somera), from 18.21 acres to 14.62
acres. The development on this tract remains in compliance with the zoning
and landscaping regulations of PD-194.
Lot 1C, containing 12.69 acres, incorporates the remaining 3.59 acres of Lot
1B, adds 4.428 acres of the Freeport North Addition and includes 4.673 acres
of the Hager Containers Addition. Lot 1C currently reflects the easements
established on the previous plats; however, prior to any development on this
tract this lot will need to be replatted to establish fire lanes and additional
easements to serve the proposed development. Notes to this effect have been
included on the replat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Replat for the AmberPoint Business
Park Addition, Lots 1B and Lot 1C, with no conditions.

of a mini-storage facility with accessory uses on 3.751 acres of property.
The site is situated at the northeast corner of Northpoint Drive and S.H.
121. As acknowledged by the project’s engineer, the preliminary utilities
have not been finalized; therefore, additional City easements may be
required. Oncor is also requesting an opportunity to review this
development plan to determine if additional easements will be necessary.
Finally, given that this property fronts onto S.H. 121, driveways and any
additional easements will need to be reviewed and approved by TxDot.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Lot 1, Block A, Securlock Small Business Park and
Storage Center Addition, subject to the following conditions:
• Additional City easements may be required when final engineering is
completed.
• Oncor easements may need to be provided.

SUMMARY OF REVISIONS FOR JUNE 19, 2003
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
On April 17, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the establishment of Single
Family-12 zoning on 16.5 acres of property located on the north side of Bethel Road, west of Denton
Tap. This City-initiated rezoning involved two tracts of land, a 14.6-acre tract owned by the
Alexander Trust and a 1.9-acre tract owned by Ruby McDowell. Per a request of representatives of
the Alexander Trust, property owner of the 14.6-acre tract, the Planning and Zoning Commission
held this portion of the request under advisement until June 19, 2003. The ----property owner to the
west, the McDowell property, requested that the Commission proceed with its recommendation for
SF-12 zoning on his 1.9-acre tract. On May 13, 2003, Council approved the rezoning from
Commercial to Single Family-12 on this 1.9-acre tract.
Over the past 60 days, staff has had conversations with the representatives of the Alexander Trust;
however, as of June 13, 2003, we have not received written confirmation of their support or
opposition to the proposed rezoning. It is staff’s understanding that a representative of the
Alexander Trust will provide testimony at the June 19, 2003, public hearing.

LOCATION: North of Bethel; west of Denton Tap Roads.
SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 14.6 acres of property.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 1996 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN:

APPLICANT: Owners:

% Ruth Alexander
4820 E. Lee Street
Tucson, Arizona 85712-4023
HISTORY: This property has been zoned for commercial uses for at least 20
years. Since 1983, properties to the north and south have been
rezoned for residential uses and have been platted and developed for
single-family homes. There has been no zoning or platting requests
approved on the subject property.
Item # 8
Page 3 of 4
On May 13, 2003 Council approved the rezoning from Commercial
to Single Family-12 on an 1.9 acre tract which abuts the current
request area to the west. This 1.9 acre tract was a part of the original
rezoning area.
TRANSPORTATION:Bethel Road is currently a two-lane asphalt road within 50 of right-of-way.
Improvement of this road to concrete is scheduled for completion by
the end of 2006.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Country Estates, Grand Cove Estates, Big Cedar Addition; SF-12 and
PD-119-SF-9
South - Vacant, Summit at the Springs and The Reserve; PD-108-LI, PD-
108R-SF-9, PD-108R2
East - vacant; C (Commercial)
West - vacant; SF-12 (McDowell property)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan originally showed the property as
suitable for Neighborhood Retail uses; however, currently
consideration is being given to a Land Use Amendment to
Low Density Residential.
DISCUSSION: This property has been zoned and planned for commercial uses since the
1970’s. The 1972 Comprehensive Plan envisioned this area as the future
Central Business District of Coppell, given that a majority of the
development was existing in this general area. In 1989, the area to the south
was rezoned as a Planned Development for office/retail/university and
industrial area (PD-108). The uses envisioned in this master plan never
became reality and since that time, the areas abutting a portion of Grapevine
Springs Park to the east and west have been rezoned, platted and developed
for single-family construction (The Reserve and Summit at the Springs). The
tract which retains this PD-108-LI zoning, south of Bethel Road, abutting
Denton Tap Road is owned by the Baptist Foundation and contains a sign
which states that it is the future home of a church. The property to the north
of the subject tract has also been developed with single family subdivisions,
including Country Estates and Grand Cove Estates. The property to the west
has been recently rezoned for residential, but has yet to be developed.
Therefore, establishing low-density residential on this tract is consistent with
the development patterns to the north, south and west. This property also
contains flood plain and is heavily wooded. The development of this
property for residential instead of commercial uses should result in more
trees being preserved.
Item # 8
Page 4 of 4
The frontage along Denton Tap Road, with a depth of approximately 300
feet, will retain its existing commercial zoning.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to the Land Use Plan
from Neighborhood Retail to Low Density Residential; and further, staff
recommends approval of a change in zoning from C (Commercial) to SF-
12 (Single Family-12).
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

SUMMARY OF REVISIONS FOR JUNE 19, 2003
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
Since the May 15, 2003, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff has continued
discussions with one of the property owners, Robert B. Payne, who represents the ownership
group of the 53.7-acre tract located along S.H. 121 and Business S.H. 121, which is the western-
most tract of this proposed rezoning area. As evidenced in the attached correspondence from
Mr. Payne, he no longer appears to be opposed to this rezoning and supports the City’s efforts to
“enhance values in this area”. This support included a caveat that in the future, once a
development proposal is brought forward, consideration will be given to plans, as presented. As
I clarified for Mr. Payne, development proposals would have to conform with the established
zoning, unless a change is requested.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to the Land Use Plan
from Light Industrial/Showroom and Public/Institutional to Freeway
Commercial on approximately 91.5 acres, and further recommends
approval of a change in zoning from Light Industrial to Highway
Commercial on this acreage and retaining retail zoning on the eastern 23.2
acres.

SUMMARY OF REVISIONS FOR MAY 15, 2003
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
Since the April 17, 2003, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff met with several
residents of the Magnolia Park subdivision to discuss the proposed rezoning from Light
Industrial and Retail to Highway Commercial. It was apparent at that meeting, similar to the
written responses received from eight Copperstone subdivision property owners prior to the first
Public Hearing, the residents were in support of the rezoning to HC from LI; however, they
desire to retain the retail zoning on the eastern tract which abuts single family. On May 7, 2003,
staff received a petition from 41 residents of Magnolia Park reiterating their desire to retain the
retail zoning abutting their homes and further supporting the change in zoning from LI to HC on
the remaining acreage.
Staff feels that the retention of the retail zoning designation on the 23.2-acre tract is reasonable
in that it provides a buffer between the existing homes in Magnolia Park and the non-residential
development envisioned for this tract. The retail zoning also provides for a significant reduction
in building height. Whereas HC permits a height of twenty stories, (limited to 70 feet within 300
feet of a property zoned for residential use), the retail district height is limited to 35 feet. The
development standards, which were also a major concern of staff, are identical in HC and R;
therefore, this request can be supported.
Staff also received opposition from all affected property owners, except FRWM, who stated their
support for a change in zoning from a Retail zoning district to Highway Commercial.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment to the Land Use Plan
from Light Industrial/Showroom and Public/Institutional to Freeway
Commercial on approximately 91.5 acres, and further recommends
approval of a change in zoning from Light Industrial to Highway
Commercial on this acreage and retaining retail zoning on the eastern 23.2
acres.

HISTORY: These properties have been zoned for Light Industrial uses since
1983, which was prior to the establishment of the alignment for S.H.
121 (formally Spur 553 and S.H. 121 Bypass)
TRANSPORTATION:This property fronts S.H. 121. The contract to construct the main lanes of
this freeway from east of MacArthur to Business 121 was let in
February 2003 and is scheduled for completion in March 2007.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Undeveloped; Light Industrial (See Case ZC-614(CH)
South -The Mansions by the Lake, Village at Cottonwood Creek VI and
Copperstone: PD-160-MF-2, SF-7 and SF-9
East - Magnolia Park; PD-133-SF
West - Business S.H. 121
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Public/Institutional and Light Industrial/Showroom Uses,
currently being recommended for a Freeway Commercial
designation.
DISCUSSION: Since the early 1980’s, this area was zoned for industrial and retail
development. It is assumed Light Industrial was deemed appropriate at
that time given its location along the northern edge of the City, separation
from the rest of the City by a flood plain area and finally, its compatibility
with the industrial zoning in Lewisville. However, since then, S.H. 121
has bisected this property, giving the City of Coppell frontage (exposure)
on both sides of this freeway. In the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, the
eastern portion of this area was proposed for a middle school
(Public/Institutional), which has since been built east of Denton Tap Road,
south of S.H. 121, and the remainder of the property was designated for
Industrial/Showroom uses. An amendment to the Land Use Plan is
currently being recommended proposing this entire tract be designated at
Freeway Commercial. The appropriate zoning to implement the land use
category of Freeway Commercial is Highway Commercial zoning.
As mentioned, the southern half of this property is in the flood plain and
heavily wooded. Adjacent to the southern boundary of these tracts are the
Item # 9
Page 5 of 6
open spaces and flood plain areas serving The Mansions by the Lake, the
Village at Cottonwood Creek VI and Copperstone residential developments.
This flood plain/open space area will provide a significant physical and
visual buffer between the subject properties and the existing residential to the
south.
The existing Light Industrial district zoning permits uses such as:
distribution, bulk -warehouse, a variety of manufacturing and industrial
activities similar ones that are not the highest and best use for this highly
visible corridor. Rezoning to Highway Commercial will encourage the
development of more freeway-dependent uses, such as
office/retail/hotel/commercial than would be constructed under
retail/commercial development standards (facades of brick and stone,
controlled signage, etc.) instead of industrial standards (tilt-wall). It must
also be noted that the existing Light Industrial zoning also permits up to 20%
of the lot or tract to contain outside or open storage. Again, this would not be
appropriate along S.H. 121.
The rationale for the Highway Commercial zoning, versus Light Industrial
along our major, high-visibility corridors is summarized in the purpose
statement of the Highway Commercial district as defined in the Zoning
Ordinance as follows:
“The ‘HC’ highway commercial district is intended primarily as a
high intensity area permitting a mixed-use for office, commercial-
retail, and highway oriented uses, such as hotels, restaurants, and
low and mid-rise offices, and should be located generally along high-
volume thoroughfares. The site characteristics for each area should
be designed in a manner to create an attractive appearance from I.H.
635 and S.H. 121, and an impressive gateway into the community.
Because these areas are designated as major thoroughfare entry
points, emphasis has been placed on building arrangement, setbacks,
parking, and landscape treatment, which are intended to be elements
influencing the character of entrance into the city. It is the intention
of the ‘highway commercial’ zoning district to create an attractive
and unique entrance into the city.”
In sum, the rezoning of these properties from Retail and Light Industrial to
Highway Commercial will allow the land owners significant flexibility in
development options while assuring compliance with the vision for the City’s
most visible corridors.

North-Undeveloped; Light Industrial in the City of Lewisville
South -S.H. 121 and Zoning Case ZC-613(CH)
East - Coppell Greens; PD-134R-SF-7
West - Undeveloped; City of Grapevine
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Light Industrial and Showroom Uses. An amendment to the
Land Use Plan is being recommended for Freeway
Commercial.
DISCUSSION: Since the early 1980’s, this area was zoned for industrial development. It
is assumed Light Industrial was deemed appropriate at that time given it
was located along the northern edge of the city, separated from the
remainder of the City by a flood plain area and finally, to be compatible
with the industrial zoning in Lewisville. However, since that time, S.H.
121 has bisected this property, giving the City of Coppell frontage
(exposure) on both sides of this freeway. In the 1996 Comprehensive
Item # 18
Page 3 of 4
Plan, this land was designated for Industrial/Showroom uses. An
amendment to the Land Use Plan is currently being recommended that this
entire tract be designated Freeway Commercial. The appropriate zoning
to implement the land use category of Freeway Commercial is Highway
Commercial zoning.
The existing Light Industrial district zoning permits uses such as:
distribution, bulk warehouse, a variety of manufacturing and industrial
activities and similar uses that are not the highest and best use for this highly
visible corridor. Rezoning to Highway Commercial will encourage the
development of more freeway dependant uses such as
office/retail/hotel/commercial than would be constructed under
retail/commercial development standards (facades of brick and stone,
controlled signage, etc.), versus industrial standards (tilt-wall). It must also
be noted that the existing Light Industrial zoning also permits up to 20% of
the lot or tract to contain outside or open storage. Again, this would not be
appropriate along S.H. 121.
Also to be considered, this property abuts Coppell Greens, a single-family
development. The elimination of the options for open storage and bulk
warehouse will also make the development of this property more compatible
with the existing residential.
The rationale for the Highway Commercial zoning, versus Light Industrial
along our major, high-visibility corridors is summarized in the purpose
statement of the Highway Commercial district as defined in the Zoning
Ordinance as follows:
“The ‘HC’ highway commercial district is intended primarily as a
high intensity area permitting a mixed-use for office, commercial-
retail, and highway oriented uses, such as hotels, restaurants, and
low and mid-rise offices, and should be located generally along high-
volume thoroughfares. The site characteristics for each area should
be designed in a manner to create an attractive appearance from I.H.
635 and S.H. 121, and an impressive gateway into the community.
Because these areas are designated as major thoroughfare entry
points, emphasis has been placed on building arrangement, setbacks,
parking, and landscape treatment, which are intended to be elements
influencing the character of entrance into the city. It is the intention
of the ‘highway commercial’ zoning district to create an attractive
and unique entrance into the city.”
In sum, the rezoning of these properties from Light Industrial to Highway
Commercial will allow the land owner significant flexibility in development
options while assuring compliance with the vision for the City’s most visible
corridors.
