Item # 4
Page 2 of 4
HISTORY: There is no site plan or platting history on the subject site.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided roadway, within an
approximate 130’ of right-of-way in front of the subject property,
with a varied width along the length of the roadway.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; HC (Highway Commercial)
South -vacant; C (Commercial) future site of Champions School of Real Estate
East - Coppell Middle School North & Denton Creek Elementary; SF-7 (Single
Family)
West - Magnolia Park Subdivision; PD-133-SF (Planned Development 133, Single
Family)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail, which includes banking facilities.
DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting site plan approval for the development of a one-story,
4,200 square-foot Bank One facility on approximately 1.2 acres of property,
served by 33 parking spaces. The site is situated at the northeast corner of
Denton Tap Road and Natches Trace Drive, immediately in front of Coppell
Middle School North.
Site Plan
The site has been designed to place the main entry along Denton Tap Road with
four drive-through lanes and an ATM lane at the rear of the property. Because
the property is located along Denton Tap Road, which is identified as a Primary
Image Zone, the applicant has provided increased setbacks along Denton Tap
Road, allowing for a significant landscaped area along both Denton Tap and
Natches Trace.
The applicant will appropriately screen this commercial use from the adjacent
residential district as required by Article 33 Screening Standards of the Zoning
Ordinance. The existing wall along the rear of the subject property will be
modified with the wrought iron portions being removed and replaced with solid
brick screening. Staff supports the proposed alterations to the existing wall.
A fire lane/mutual access drive will be constructed along the north property line,
which will assist in providing access to future developments to the north of the
subject site. The fire lane complies with all required curve radii with the
exception of the connection to Natches Trace, which staff has recommended that
the applicant revise accordingly.
Item # 4
Page 3 of 4
Architecture
The proposed building will be one-story, measuring approximately 26’ in height
to the peak. The primary building material will be a reddish/brown brick (acme
150 “red sunset”), with a buff colored limestone veneer (“blanco w/color”) and
matching stucco accents. The roof will be gray/silver standing seam metal. A 36
square-foot monument sign will be located near the Denton Tap/Natches Trace
intersection. The proposed sign will be constructed of limestone veneer to match
the building with blue pin mounted lettering.
Additionally, staff would like to commend the applicant’s efforts on the facility’s
architecture, signage and landscaping, which have been modified to conform to
the standards of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance. While staff is aware that the
proposed architecture and signage is not the standard design utilized by Bank
One, the modified result compliments the architecture of surrounding buildings
and enhances the Denton Tap corridor.
Landscape Plan
The proposed landscape plan fully provides the required perimeter, interior and
non-vehicular landscaping. In order to address perimeter landscaping along the
northern property line, which falls within the proposed mutual access drive, the
applicant has provided the full 10’ landscape buffer between the drive and the
north building wall, as well as adjacent to the north end of all parking rows.
While the perimeter landscaping is not shown in the traditional manner, this
design is typical and acceptable when a shared drive is being constructed for
mutual access purposes. It is staff’s interpretation that the design meets the spirit
and intent of the Zoning Ordinance in providing a buffer and relief between
properties.
Furthermore, the applicant has shown the proposed location of the electric
transformer and has fully screened it with shrubs. All other mechanical
equipment shall be located within a mechanical yard that is fully screened by a
solid wall extending from the main building.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Bank One Site Plan, subject to the following
conditions being met:
1) Ensure that all fire lane curve radii meet minimum requirements, specifically the
connection to Natches Trace, which does not appear to meet the turning radius
requirements.
2) The paver bands should be constructed one foot behind the property line. (Engineering)
3) The sidewalk ADA ramps need to align with the paver bands. Therefore, additional
sidewalk easements may be necessary. (Engineering)

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for regional

DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting Minor Plat approval for the development of a
4,200 square-foot banking facility with a 1,500 square-foot drive-through on
1.2 acres of property. Bank One will occupy the proposed facility.
The proposed plat establishes all necessary fire lane, mutual access, and
utility easements. Because the north property line runs through the middle
of a shared drive, the off-site portion of the fire lane/access easement will be
recorded via separate instrument. Staff has only minor drafting comments
that need to be addressed.

Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Minor Plat for Bank One,
subject to the following conditions:

North-Undeveloped; C (Commercial)
South -Gas Station/convenience store and Day Care; C (Commercial)
East - Braewood West subdivision; SF-7 (Single Family-7)
West - Undeveloped; O (Office)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
mixed use development.
DISCUSSION: TexasBank desires to construct a 8,900 square-foot facility at this location,
6,700-square feet will be devoted to banking and the remaining 2,200-square
feet will be office space for lease. There will be seven drive-through lanes at
the rear of the building, which will not be visible from Denton Tap Road.
Access will be provided to this site by a driveway on Denton Tap and one on
Vanbebber. The driveway on Denton Tap has been designed to be a mutual
access driveway connecting this property with the property to the north. The
northern portion of this mutual driveway will ultimately be provided during
the platting process as an easement. However, until that time staff requests a
letter from the property owner granting permission to construct the mutual
access/fire lane. Provisions have also been made to allow for the future
extension of a mutual driveway parallel to Denton Tap, when deemed
necessary in the future. This proposed bank will abut a single- family
subdivision to the east; therefore, the plans include a 6-foot masonry
screening wall in the same materials as the main building along the east
property line. The same wall will be utilized to screen the dumpster on the
property. Staff is recommending that the instead of utilizing the off-white
stone for the screening wall, that a standard redbrick wall, similar to that used
for the to buffer the retail uses from the residential to the north of this
property be used. As the remaining properties develop within this retail area
this will result in a consistent wall adjacent to the residential.
The site plan is generally in compliance with all regulations of the Zoning
Ordinance, except for two. First, the parking row adjacent to the building,
parallel to Denton Tap Road, has 17 parking spaces without a landscaped
island and a required tree. There is a break in the parking row to provide a
walkway into the main doorway; however, per Section 12-34-8(B)3 of the
Zoning Ordinance, a landscaped island is required. The parking exceeds the
parking required for office (30 spaces) by 22 parking spaces; therefore,
compliance can be achieved without violating the code.
The second issue relates to the use of metal canopies over the windows. The
façade of the building will have an off-white stone veneer, with cast stone
accents and a dark brown, standing seam metal roof. The applicant desires to
Item # 6
Page 3 of 4
include metal canopies over the windows along Denton Tap with the same
color metal. However, Sec. 12-23-5 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the
following: “Awnings are limited to canvas, or a lusterless, non-metal
material that closely resembles canvas, at least 98 percent of which is a
single deep or neutral solid color”. Staff recommends adherence to this
provision of the ordinance. Canvas or a similar material will give the
building a softer appearance in contrast to the stone veneer. If the applicant
desires to retain the metal awnings, an appeal will have to be made to the
Board of Adjustment. However, a hardship will have to be demonstrated.
The landscaping is generally in compliance with the Ordinance, whereas
31% of the site is devoted to landscaping. The only exception is an
additional tree/island in the parking row adjacent to the Denton Tap, as
discussed above. The corner of Denton Tap and Vanbebber will be
enhanced with ground cover, shrubs and ornamental trees, and Cedar Elms
will be the predominate perimeter tree. Oaks and Chinese Pistache trees will
fulfill the requirements for overstory trees internal to the site.
The applicant has made substantial modifications to their prototypical sign
package to be compliant with the City of Coppell sign standards. TexasBank
will be in black channel letters and their red and blue logo will not exceed
20% of the area of the sign. Even their directional signage required
modifications to be in compliance with our Ordinances. The monument sign
which was originally a brightly colored can sign has been modified to be a 24
square-foot stone sign with the words “TexasBank” and their logo, which is
in compliance with the sign regulation. However, the word “pulse” is
included under TexasBank, which is in conflict with Section 12-29-4.2.(A) of
the Zoning Ordinance which in part states:
….. A monument sign shall contain only the name, logo, address, product
or service of the establishment……
This regulation has been consistently been interpreted so as not to not allow
for additional verbiage on monument signs, and therefore the word “pulse”
needs to be removed from the monument sign.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the TexasBank Site Plan, subject to
the following conditions:
1) The addition of a landscaped island with an overstory tree in the
parking row adjacent to the building, parallel to Denton Tap Road.
2) Revision to the materials of the proposed screening wall along the
east property line from off-white stone to red brick, similar to the
existing wall north of this property.
3) Revision of the canopies over the windows to be compliant with
Sec. 12-23-5 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Item # 6

alignment of the two roads is identical the name change is confusing to
citizens and needs to be addressed. State Road is planned to be an extension
of Freeport, and since Freeport now directly connects to State Road changing
the name at this time is prudent. It appears a maximum of four existing
structures (out of 12 adjacent property owners) will be affected by the
proposed street name change.

REVIEW OF OLD COPPELL MASTER PLAN, ZONING MAP, AND
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
At its February 11, 2003 public meeting, City Council: “…directed staff to submit the
Old Coppell Master Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission for revisions to ensure
consistency with the Zoning Ordinance and the adopted Comprehensive Plan, and
recommend appropriate action.” On February 25, Council further clarified their request
and asked the Planning Commission to “review inconsistencies between the
Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and bring forward any recommended
zoning changes to Council.” Council also requested historic information regarding
comments Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport personnel may have offered on past
residential zoning cases in the general area of the historic district.
HISTORY
The consulting firm of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) authored our most
recent Comprehensive Plan. HOK is a nationally recognized planning, architecture and
engineering firm selected from a field of several agencies that responded to our request
for proposal. The company was charged with updating the 1987 Plan and reviewed a
long line of community comprehensive plans dating back to at least l972. In addition to
updating the 1987 Master Plan, an important responsibility of the consultant was to
outline an area in Coppell that might be considered for historic designation. We also
asked HOK to provide redevelopment guidelines which recommended street design,
landscape materials, building scale, setback dimensions, land uses, etc., within the
district. These guidelines, covering approximately 60 acres, were included in an
appendix to the Comprehensive Plan and were adopted along with the contents of the
Plan document in May of 1996.
Fundamental to the 1996 document were several illustrations outlining future
development patterns for the City. Map #1 depicted Scenario 1—maximum growth
potential. Map #2, Scenario 2 showed a conservative growth model. Map #3 and the
plan adopted by Council showed ultimate future land use that was a blend of Scenarios 1
and 2. More importantly, all three of these illustrations recommended residential
development for the Old Coppell area.
In the spring of 2000 staff performed an extensive review of the Plan and suggested
several areas where the plan and zoning were in conflict. When the Commission made its
recommendations to the Council, Council generally followed the recommendations of the
Planning Commission, changing zoning on several land parcels resulting in more

compatibility with the Plan. There were no changes proposed nor made to the Historic
District.
Subsequent to the Council’s action, and because of increasing interest in the proposed
Historic District, in September of 2001 Council authorized an independent study of the
historic area designated by HOK. The consulting firm of Looney, Ricks, Kiss (LRK)
performed that study and redefined and enlarged the boundaries of the historic area to
total approximately 100 acres. See Map #4. In addition to evaluating the area
designated by HOK in the earlier Plan, LRK reviewed land uses, analyzed circulation
plans, conducted a survey of citizen aspirations for Old Coppell and supervised a
charrette to assist them in formulating a detailed plan for the Historic District. They also
conducted a Vision Survey to gain additional knowledge from citizens regarding desires
for the physical appearance of the District. The resultant Plan placed importance on a
residential component that will be explained in the Old Coppell Master Plan section of
this report. The consultant presented his findings to Council in April of 2002, and
Council unanimously accepted the Plan on April 9. The Concept plan is shown on Map
#5.
In late 2002, the Planning Department received an application to rezone 3.8 acres of land
in Old Coppell. The request was to change the zoning from HO-C to PD to allow
residential development as reflected by the Old Coppell Master Plan. When the Council
was advised of this pending zoning case, there was some concern expressed about the
residential component of the Old Coppell Plan and a joint meeting was called on
December 10 between the City Council and Planning Commission to discuss this issue.
At that meeting some Council members again expressed concerns with the recommended
residential land use component of the Plan. Although not unanimously supportive, the
majority of Commission members accepted the conclusion of the consultant and felt
residential use was supported by the LRK study. When the zoning applicant heard of the
potential conflict between the Plan and our political bodies, he asked to continue the case
until this issue was resolved.
As mentioned in the Introduction, in February of this year Council directed staff to revisit
both our 1996 Comprehensive Plan and the 2002 Old Coppell Master Plan and review
compatibility between both documents. That brings us to our re-analysis of the Old
Coppell Master Plan and its relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. What follows is a
narrative outlining the pertinent sections of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan applicable to
Old Coppell. That discussion is followed with a review of the Old Coppell Master Plan
and how it “fits” with the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, staff will analyze both plans,
review the zoning map, recommend alterations to either the plans or the zoning map to
resolve any outstanding conflicts, and present our findings to the Planning Commission.
Once the Commission has acted, a recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for
its deliberations. Because of Council’s concern with consistency between the Plans and
zoning, specifically as this concern relates to residential development and airport noise
concerns, the remainder of this paper will address those specific issues.

HOW TO READ THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF 1996
One must read several sections of the Comprehensive Plan of 1996 to gain a thorough
understanding of how the proposed Historic District relates to the Old Coppell Master
Plan. We will start with the noise issue.
Noise
In developing the Plan, HOK recognized the importance of D/FW International Airport,
and provided a number of goals and objectives directed to that facility. Under the general
heading of Quality of Life, Goal #13 (page 11), stated that the city needed to work with
the airport to maximize development opportunities. In addition, Objective 13.2 (page
11), mentioned reducing noise impacts associated with any development. In the section
labeled Economic Development, Goal #3 (page 12), the consultants stated the need to
work with D/FW regarding proposed future plans. In Section 3.07-Aviation Activity
(page 34), the Plan discussed minimizing adverse noise impacts within the noise contours
established for the airport. It further expanded upon the noise issue and pointed out the
difference between single event noise (SEL) and the Ldn average based upon a 24 hour
time frame (Note: today “Ldn” is referred to as “DNL”). In developing the
recommended Land Use Plan, Section 3.11 (page 47), HOK recognized that any plan
needed to be “…cognizant of and sensitive to aircraft activity from Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport.” In reviewing past history of zoning and residential development
in the vicinity of Old Coppell, and the Airport’s response to these developments, Table 1
is attached for your review. Finally, although there has been (and continues to be)
considerable discussion regarding residential development comparing SEL and DNL
noise values, we are legally bound by U. S. Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 150,
which states that noise sensitive uses below DNL 65 dB are considered to be compatible
without restrictions. Map #6 traces the boundary of the DNL 65 dB noise contour in
Coppell. As listed in Table 1, all residential subdivisions shown are outside the 65 DNL
line.
Land Use
The second point in understanding the Comprehensive Plan relates to land use. The 1996
Plan recommends an additional 1,182 acres of residential land use (page 50) and displays
general locations in Figure #12 on page 49 (Map #3 of this report), along with an area
designated for Historic District. Section 5.02 (page 75) specifically proposes a Historic
District, and, among other uses, recommends a small scale village retail center at Coppell
and Bethel Roads designed to encourage pedestrian access and to “…serve nearby
residential areas.” This section goes on to describe what a Historic Area should contain,
and refers to Appendix B for detailed uses. It is very important to understand that the
District outlined in Section 5 of the Plan and Appendix B must be used together to grasp
the consultants recommendations for a Historic District. When one refers to quotes in the
Plan and Appendix B, it is clear that residential development was meant to be an
important part of the District as residential and mixed use development (which includes

residential uses) is specifically listed as two desirable land uses proposed for the area
(page B-8). In Section 6.02 (page 96), while describing the Historic District, the
consultant lists components of the Historic District with the quote: “Residential, retail,
and office…may be built very close to the right-of-way line.”
Summary of Comprehensive Plan
To summarize the above referenced portions of the Comprehensive Master Plan, the
Land Use Plan shown on page 49 (Map #3 of this report) outlines an area designated as
“Historic District”. In reading the Plan, Section 5 is devoted to an Urban Design Plan
(pages 71-88). Included with the Design Plan is a narrative dealing with a Historic
District (pages 75-76), along with a description of what should be included within it. The
description references an Appendix “B” at the back of the Plan included as an example of
the type of guidelines Coppell could consider to preserve and enhance the Coppell
Historic District. When one turns to this appendix (pages B-1 to B-15), the Land Use
section refers to a number of uses appropriate for the District including residential
development. Thus, one would conclude that the Historic District in Coppell should be
composed of many uses, including residential development. It is important to analyze the
Master Plan with this view in mind, as the Appendices are vital to the overall
understanding of the Master Plan and what it proposes. To repeat statements regarding
the noise issue, as spelled out in part 150 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, any
residential building outside the DNL 65-dB boundary does not warrant noise abatement.
Finally, since 1972 and in each comprehensive plan prepared for the City since that time,
every plan has shown residential development as being appropriate for the area we now
call Old Coppell.
In short, the Comprehensive Master Plan was consistent with earlier land use plans by
recommending residential uses in the area now known as the Historic District. Based on
part 150 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, noise is not an issue that would preclude
construction of residential buildings because all proposed structures are outside the 65
DNL.
THE OLD COPPELL MASTER PLAN
As presented by the Old Coppell Plan consultants, the importance of a residential element
in the Plan cannot be over emphasized. Under the Character Defining Buildings portion
of the Plan, the consultant states the preservation of existing residential buildings is
“…strongly encouraged.” (Sheet 4). In the Public Input Results chapter, when citizen
participants were asked what desirable characteristics applied to Old Coppell, they
responded: “townhouses and live/work units”. (Sheet 7). That desire was repeated during
the Charrette Workshop (Sheet 9) with the suggestion of an “eclectic residential area”
and living units above retail being allowed in the District. An outgrowth of the charrette
exercise recommended residential development east of Coppell Road and expanded upon
residential units being allowed above first floor retail/office/commercial use. (Sheet 10).
Page 5 of 8
To further express the importance of residential development in Old Coppell, the
consultant quotes: “…housing is critical…”. (Sheet 11). Recognizing the D/FW Airport
noise issue, this Section of the Plan goes on to state all residential units should be built
east of Coppell Road (also recommended in the charrette, as stated above) and should
include “…both townhouse and single-family homes. Apartments over ground floor
retail and office should also be encouraged throughout the district.” (Sheet 11). Map #7
graphically illustrates this land use principle. LRK’s recommendation is further
expressed in the Design portion of the study which states: “Townhouses should front
directly onto the sidewalk” (Sheet 16). There is also a pictorial example of residential
development with the caption: “…single family homes relate strongly to the street while
allowing for a small front yard and porch.” (Sheet 16).
Public Policy Recommendations (Sheet 19) addresses consistency of the Old Coppell
Plan with the earlier Comprehensive Plan. Again quoting from the Old Coppell Study:
“Most of the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan, as they relate to Old Coppell,
are consistent with this plan.” There were only three inconsistencies pointed out by the
consultant. One, building height—the Comprehensive Plan suggested a one-story
maximum height; the Old Coppell Plan suggests two-and one-half stories. Two, Retail
Center—was more related to scale, placement, design, and parking than proposed use.
Three, land use—Grapevine Springs Park was recommended for medium density
residential use before the City purchased this parcel, the Old Coppell plan recommends
park use.
Further, when addressing mixed use in the Study, it is defined to include “upper floor
residential units”. (Sheet 19). Expanding on residential use, the Old Coppell Plan calls
out single family at 6-7 dwelling units per acre; duplex, triplex, and townhouse uses as
desirable. This section goes on to state: “…apartment buildings are not recommended
within the study area.” (Sheet 19). Map #8 proposes zoning in the District, again,
supporting residential development.
Additionally, a Housing Incentives Program (Sheet 23) that would encourage new
housing in the area mentioned on sheets 10, 11, and 19 supports the need for residential
development in Old Coppell. To quote from this section: “Not only does housing…help
the retail and service sectors…it also reinforces a more live-in atmosphere that
will…attract more residents living outside…Old Coppell…”
Sheet 24 recommends specific residential uses (single-family, townhouse, and upstairs
apartments) with a potential 170 people housed in these units. The study goes on to state
an estimated $14.8 million value would be added to the community if these units were
constructed. Taking an estimated average value of housing being constructed in the area
and applying it to Old Coppell arrived at the monetary figure.
In the Implementation section of the Plan (Sheet 25), the consultant encourages in-fill
residential development occurring in a short-term time frame defined here as a one-year
period.

Summary of Old Coppell Master Plan
To review what has been presented above, one is struck by how closely the Old Coppell
Master Plan follows the tenants of the Historic District outlined in the Comprehensive
Plan. One of the first tasks undertaken by the Old Coppell consultant was to review the
Comprehensive Plan of 1996. In examining that document, LRK concluded that the
Master Plan encouraged a historic district, including residential development. The
consultant reached that conclusion by undertaking a review of the Master Plan similar to
the one described above. To expand upon the Comprehensive Plan’s recommendations,
he emphasized the importance of a residential component being included in any plan for
development of the area. In reading the Old Coppell Master Plan not only does the
consultant acknowledge the presence of residences in the area (Sheet 4), but he also
recognizes the importance of a townhouse element (Sheet 7), and the value of introducing
living units above businesses (Sheet 9). In discussing airplane noise, the consultant states
that residential development should be limited in numbers and primarily placed east of
Coppell Road (Sheet 11). He elaborates on that subject by stating a residential presence
is “critical” to the development of Old Coppell and offers the introduction of single-
family and townhouse units as compatible with the overall Plan, but only east of Coppell
Road. He also states that living units above retail should be allowed throughout the
Historic District (Sheet 11). As stated earlier, Map #5 illustrates development for Old
Coppell, and that development has a substantial residential component attached to it.
Subsequent to approval of the Old Coppell Plan, there have been discussions regarding
the southern portion of the Study Area and policy changes have occurred which merit
mention here. First, the land at the southern edge of the area and west of Coppell Road is
under contract to the City for purchase. If that contract closes, we will market that land
for industrial/warehouse development. Consequently, the Old Coppell Master Plan needs
to reflect an industrial use rather than the commercial/mixed use/office proposal as
presented in the Plan document, although the zoning can remain as is (LI). Secondly, and
again if the property purchase closes, the east side of Coppell Road may not be as
desirable for mixed use. Again, since the zoning on that property is PD-LI no zoning
change is necessary. As a side bar, we have recently marketed a 4-acre parcel on the east
side of Coppell Road and have received only minimal interest in its purchase. Those who
did show an interest were primarily proposing residential development which was not
recommended by the Old Coppell Master Plan.
HOW THE PLANS INTERACT
To compare the two plans, one must first look at the 1996 Comprehensive Master Plan.
With an understanding of what that Plan says, particularly with regard to the
recommended Historic District, one can make a judgement regarding the compatibility
between the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and the 2002 Old Coppell Master Plan. As
outlined under “How to Read the 1996 Comprehensive Plan”, the Historic District was
envisioned to have a variety of land uses including office, retail and residential. The
expanded area included in the Old Coppell Plan recommended the same uses and
Page 7 of 8
enlarged the boundaries of the Historic District to include Grapevine Springs Park and
eliminated some existing residential neighborhoods—primarily Old Coppell Estates since
it was relatively new. With the City negotiating to buy the Carter-Crawley parcel, some
modification to the Old Coppell Plan is in order. We would now recommend the Old
Coppell Plan be modified to remove any notation for office/retail on the west side of
Coppell Road, south of Bethel Road. In like fashion, we would also recommend the
office/retail proposal on the east side of Coppell Road be removed from the Old Coppell
Master Plan.
With regard to the residential recommendation in the Old Coppell Plan, staff has
reviewed master plans that go back as far as 1972, and find that residential use has been
shown for the area consistently since that time and on every master plan done subsequent
to that date. The Old Coppell Plan has devoted more detail to this use, suggesting
residential type, number of units, density breakdowns, and dealing with the noise issue,
but reflects the same use as proposed by all earlier master plans including the 1996
Comprehensive Plan. Staff concludes the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and the 2002 Old
Coppell Master Plan are compatible and consistent. Because we have concluded that the
plans are compatible, we would welcome residential rezoning that reflects that use.
RECOMMENDED REZONING TO RESOLVE ZONING INCONSISTENCIES
Zoning is basically a static regulation. It does not change unless an application is
submitted. Planning, on the other hand, is dynamic. It is a continuing process and plans
are updated on a timely basis. Such is the case with the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and
our more recent Old Coppell Master Plan. The Old Coppell Plan refined and presented a
more detailed analysis of a portion of the 1996 Plan—the Old Coppell area of the City.
That being the case and having reached the conclusion that the Comprehensive Plan and
the Old Coppell Plan are not inconsistent regarding residential land use, our task is to
recommend zoning that reflects our most recent planning efforts. The area proposed for
residential development in the Old Coppell Master Plan is currently zoned HO-C. As
mentioned above, over the last thirty years every master plan done for the City of Coppell
has shown a residential land use in that area, and to be consistent with planning, two
areas of Old Coppell warrant rezoning to a residential classification. The first is the area
at the end of Mitchell Street. Currently zoned HO-R, staff could support a rezoning to a
residential classification, perhaps TH-1. The Old Coppell Plan recommends townhouses
in this general area, and the Comprehensive Master Plan outlined a townhouse use as
desirable in the Historic District Appendix included with that Plan.
The second area is east of Coppell Road, south of Cooper, west behind the residences that
front Anderson and north of the tributary running across Coppell Road. It includes
approximately 8 acres and staff could support changing that zoning from HO-C to a
residential classification, perhaps SF-7.
Staff research has concluded that the current HO zoning designation was intended to
allow residential development, especially in light of the explanation offered for each Plan
Page 8 of 8
described above. Technically and legally, however, a zoning change would have to be
initiated to specifically delineate the boundaries of any residential area. Because of
private sector interest in developing some of this land for residential purposes, it would
be staff’s recommendation to leave the current zoning as is; let the private market
determine where appropriate residential zoning might be procured. We would then
review each zoning application as it comes forward—to deny those that don’t fit the Plan,
to endorse those that do. In that manner we would encourage an applicant to request
appropriate zoning when the market dictated.
With regard to alteration of the Old Coppell Master Plan on the south end of Coppell
Road, we would recommend that the zoning remain LI and LI-PD respectively on both
parcels, that the land use component of the Plan be modified to reflect same. Retaining
Light Industrial zoning on the west side of Coppell Road would encourage industrial
development as suggested by Council. Because the east side of Coppell Road is owned
by the City, is currently undeveloped park property and any proposed use recommended
by the Old Coppell Master Plan is allowed with modification to that zoning classification,
we recommend the land use plan be left as is.
OVERALL SUMMARY
In short, staff research has concluded residential development has historically and
consistently been shown in the area we now identify as Old Coppell (Maps #1, 2, and 3).
The DNL 65 dB (Map #6) is at least 1000 feet west of any proposed redevelopment and
should not be a factor in residential development shown on the Old Coppell Master Plan.
Therefore, it would be safe to conclude that residential construction east of Coppell Road
and in the general areas shown on the Old Coppell Master Plan Land Use Map (sheet 10
and Map #5) could be supported by planning staff. We would further recommend that
the development community apply for specific residential and some mixed use zoning as
suggested in the Master Plan (Map #8). We do not recommend Commission call a public
hearing to change the zoning because of the variety of mixed use, housing type and
generalized densities outlined by the consultant’s report which should be specifically
defined by potential developers of the land. Staff would be receptive to any change
reflective of the Plan.
Regarding LRK’s recommended boundary for the Historic District, we would further
recommend that the Planning Commission call a public hearing to consider modifying the
boundaries of the current District to coincide with those shown in the updated Old
Coppell Master Plan. By legally defining these recently defined boundaries of the
Historic District, there would be no question as to what land area is and is not subject to
our historic guidelines.

REQUEST: Place HO, Historic Overlay designation on the above referenced
zoning districts, resulting in an enlarged Historic District.
APPLICANT: Coppell Planning Commission initiated zoning hearing
HISTORY: The Historic District Overlay (HO) was first established with
approval of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, authored by Hellmuth,
Obata, Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK). Further refinement and enlargement
of the Historic Designation boundary was suggested by the consultant
who created the Old Coppell Master Plan, Looney, Ricks, Kiss
(LRK) in 2002. City Council accepted the recommendation of LRK
in May of 2002.
Page 2 of 3 Item # 12
TRANSPORTATION: The major streets in the area are Coppell Road, a two lane asphalt
roadway which will eventually be an improved two-lane concrete
street within 50 feet of right of way. The other major street is Bethel
Road, also a two lane unimproved asphalt road eventually to be
improved as a two lane roadway with 50 feet of right of way through
the Old Coppell area.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
The area is basically adjacent to single family development on the
north and east, warehousing and distribution on the west (with one
small residential pocket along Loch Lane) and vacant, and non-
conforming residential on the south covered by LI, Light Industrial
and C, Commercial zoning.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows part of the property as
suitable for a historic overlay zoning classification.
DISCUSSION: There are two aspects to this case. One, we need to amend
the 1996 Coppell Comprehensive Plan to reflect the
recommendations of the 2002 Old Coppell Master Plan.
Two, we need to place zoning on the land that reflects the
changes made to the plan.
This is a Planning Commission authorized public hearing
to determine the boundaries of the Historic District in Old
Coppell. In May of 2002 City Council accepted the Old
Coppell Master Plan which was authored by our planning
consultant, Looney, Ricks, Kiss (LRK). The consultant
looked at the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and concluded that
the Historic District needed to be enlarged. To that end,
LRK recommended expanding the district from
approximately 60 to over 100 acres. In a discussion
between staff and the Planning Commission in March
2003, the Commission agreed with the consultant’s
recommendation and further directed staff to add an
additional 3.8 acres of city owned land commonly referred
to as Hunterwood Park. We have done that, and the public
hearing regarding this issue includes all land shown on the
attachment.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends the 1996 Coppell Comprehensive Plan be amended
to enlarge the Historic Overlay district as shown on the attached map.
We further recommend approval of the Historic Overlay District being
enlarged to include all land shown on the attachment. By enlarging the
Page 3 of 3 Item # 12
District, more of a “critical mass” results. In addition, the entire area of
Grapevine Springs Park and the remainder of Hunterwood Park would
be covered by the overlay district, bringing zoning consistency to our
parkland.
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 CALLED PUBLIC HEARINGS
TO AMEND THE LAND USE PLAN OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AND TO DETERMINE PROPER ZONING
P & Z HEARING DATE: April 17, 2003
C.C. HEARING DATE: May 13, 2003
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Planning Director
HISTORY
City Council has requested that staff review the inconsistencies between the Land Use Plan of the
Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1996, the current zoning and development patterns. This study
identified six areas in the City where established zoning and/or future land use is not in accordance
with the adopted Land Use Plan and six tracts of land where existing zoning is not appropriate due to
established developments and/or recommended future land uses. To ensure that the Land Use Plan
and the Zoning Map are reflective of the existing developments and the future envisioned for the
City of Coppell, staff is recommending various amendments to the Land Use Plan, as well as
changes in zoning.
This process is similar to that undertaken in the spring of 2000 where 14 amendments to the Land
Use Plan were approved and five of the seven tracts of property proposed were rezoned. One of the
tracts that was not rezoned, the Ardinger tract, is being brought forward again. The second tract,
which was denied by Council, on the east side of MacArthur Blvd., across from Glen Lakes Drive
(the Hinckley tract), has since received site plan approval for an office/retail project, and, therefore,
the previous recommendation for residential zoning is no longer appropriate.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND USE PLAN:
Land Use Amendments to Reflect Existing Zoning/Land Uses
The two areas being recommended for Land Use Amendments to reflect existing zoning and land
uses are Howell and Bullock Drives and the east side of Denton Tap, north of Belt Line Road. These
areas are summarized on the attached table and illustrated on the attached maps.
The first encompasses Howell and Bullock Drives, which have recently been rezoned to a PD for
residential uses to reflect the existing land uses. While the Comprehensive Plan originally
designated this area as Mixed Use, staff is recommending Residential Medium Density. The second
area is located along the east side of Denton Tap, north of Belt Line Road. Although this area was
Item # 13
Page 2 of 3
designated for Light Industrial/Showroom uses, it is developed for a church, gas station, mini-
warehouses and site plans have recently been approved for three office buildings. Therefore, Mixed
Use designation is being proposed. These Land Use Amendments must be approved at a public
hearing, however, individual notices were not sent to individual property owners. This discussion
will serve as the Staff Report on these two Land Use Amendments.
Land Use Amendments and Recommended Called Public Hearings
The second part of the proposed amendments to the Land Use Plan address areas which are currently
undeveloped, but the land use designations are no longer appropriate. To allow for the
implementation of these land use recommendations, the Planning and Zoning Commission on March
20, 2003, authorized staff to call public hearings to determine proper zoning on these tracts of land.
The following six Staff Reports address both the Land Use Amendments, as well as the Called
Public Hearings, which are Items 14 though 19 of this agenda. Notices to property owners, as well
as property owners within 200 feet, were sent notifying them of the recommended rezonings. These
items will require individual consideration and motions.
To summarize, three of the areas are located along S.H. 121, which was formerly a bypass but has
since been designated as the main route for S.H. 121. These areas were originally envisioned for
Light Industrial/Showroom uses. Given the surrounding development patterns and the City’s desire
to focus the industrial development within our existing industrial areas on the west side of the City,
staff is recommending Freeway Commercial designation on areas west of Denton Tap Road and
Mixed Uses on the area east of MacArthur. All four areas are being recommended for Highway
Commercial zoning.
Also proposed is a revision to the area along the north side of Bethel Road, west of Denton Tap,
which was previously designated for Neighborhood Retail. Again, considering the recent
development patterns in this area and to establish a reasonable depth to accommodate retail
development, staff is recommending Low Density Residential Land Use (SF-12 zoning) from a point
300 feet west of Denton Tap Road to a point where Bethel School Road once met Bethel Road.
Finally, a rezoning is recommended, based on the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, on the 11-acre tract
west of Denton Tap, south of Sandy Lake, owned by H.T. Ardinger, Jr. This area is designated as
Residential Medium Density on the Land Use Plan but is currently zoned Commercial. As
recommended in 2000, staff is again recommending Single Family-9 zoning for this tract of land.
Again, these six Land Use Amendments and Rezonings are discussed in detail
in the following agenda items. Action is only required on the two Land Use
Amendments that do not involve rezoning.

approved on the subject property.
TRANSPORTATION:Bethel Road is currently a two-lane asphalt road within 50 of right-of-way.

the end of 2006.

East - vacant; C (Commercial)
West - vacant; PD-181-SF-12
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 # 16

The frontage along Denton Tap Road, with a depth of approximately 300

HISTORY: This property has been zoned Light Industrial since the 1980’s, prior to the alignment
of S.H. 121.
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 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.
