HISTORY: This property was developed with a one-story, 125,000-square-foot
tilt-wall building in 1998. It is currently occupied by CitiFinancial, a
mortgage services center.
Item # 6
Page 2 of 4
TRANSPORTATION: Royal Lane is a C4D/6, four-lane divided thoroughfare in a right-of-
way containing 110 feet of dedication (adequate for a six-lane
divided thoroughfare). Northpoint Drive is a C4D four-lane divided
roadway contained within 80-feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North –warehouse/distribution facility; LI (Light Industrial) zoning
South – office/warehouse building; LI (Light Industrial) zoning
East – office/warehouse; LI (Light Industrial) zoning
West – small, vacant parcel; LI (Light Industrial) zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as
suitable for light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: This request was originally submitted as a Site Plan Amendment to allow
for the addition of 35-parking spaces along the western property line to
serve the existing tenant of the building, CitiFinancial. However, upon
review of the as-built conditions in relation to the Site Plan approved in
1999, major discrepancies became apparent. Also, during this review
process, a Building Permit was applied for to allow a relocation of an
existing generator and the addition of a patio on the east side of the
building, adjacent to Royal Lane. Therefore, it was determined that
rezoning was necessary.
Existing Conditions
As mentioned in the HISTORY section of this report, this building was
constructed in 1998. The approved Site and Landscape Plans indicated
that 30% of the building was to be used for office and the remaining 70%
for warehousing uses. Based on this ratio, 213 parking spaces were
required, and 596 parking spaces were originally provided. As indicated
on the attached letter dated January 10, 2006, from Jeffrey Neal of Duke
Construction, The Associates were the first occupants of this building,
employing 600 employees (with 596 parking spaces). However, since that
time, additional portions of the building were finished-out for a call center
use (from warehousing), increasing the employee count by 185 in 2000
and 300 employees in 2003, for a total of 1,085 employees. There are
currently 160 vacant positions in this company.
At some point in time, the loading dock area, which was originally
designed to serve the warehouse function, was re-striped to accommodate
employee parking. Approximately 180 spaces were added; however, the
required landscaped areas and trees were not installed. There are currently
780 parking spaces for the existing 925 employees.
Item # 6
Page 3 of 4
The purpose of this PD is to allow:
• deficits in total number of parking spaces provided;
• deficits in landscaping areas and number of trees;
• a revision to the Site Plan to add 35 parking spaces, and
• the relocation of a generator with screening wall and the addition of a
patio area.
Deficit in number of parking spaces
The Zoning Ordinance requires parking to be provided at a ratio of “one
parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift, plus
space to accommodate all trucks and other vehicles.” Per information
provided by the applicant, the maximum number of employees at this
facility is projected to be 1,085, thus requiring 1,085 parking spaces. Only
821 spaces are being provided, resulting in a deficit of 264 parking spaces.
Staff cannot support this 24% deficit. It is reasonable to assume that the
overflow parking will end up on the street, which could potentially cause
unsafe conditions.
Deficit in landscaping
All parking areas are required to have 10% of the area devoted to
landscaping, including planting islands with trees, one tree per 400-square
feet, etc. The former loading area, which was striped for additional 180
parking spaces, does not meet any landscape requirements. The applicant
is requesting a PD condition, which waives all of these requirements.
Staff would prefer, as provided for in the Landscape Ordinance, that this
parking be legally exempted from the Ordinance as permitted in Section
12-34-8. This provision allows parking lot areas not to be landscaped if
they are visually screened with masonry walls at least six-feet high, have
limited access, etc.
Additional parking along the western property line
As mentioned, the original request was simply to add 35 parking spaces
along the western property line. This would require the relocation of 12
existing 6- to 8-caliper inch Cedar Elm trees into an existing 10-foot-wide
TU Electric easement. Assurances need to be provided from TU that they
will permit the planting of trees in their easement. Historically, there has
been an issue with over-story trees in this type of easement, and it is
assumed that is why they were originally planted 10 feet off of the
property line.
Replacement of a generator with screening and addition of a patio area
The applicant is also requesting additional Site Plan modifications that
include the replacement of an existing generator on the south side of the
building. It appears from the documents submitted with the Building
Item # 6
Page 4 of 4
Permit, that the new generator will be screened with an approximate 12’-
tall screening wall. Elevations of this wall, with materials and colors, etc.,
need to be included in this PD Site Plan, with assurances that the new wall
will match the existing structure.
Also being requested is a new patio area at the southeast corner of the
building. There are no structures being proposed; however, this will
necessitate the relocation of an existing tree. Where this tree will be
relocated needs to be specified.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending:
1) APPROVAL of the parking spaces in the former loading area, subject
to the area being brought into compliance with either Section 12-34-
8(A) (areas exempt from landscaping) or provision of the required
landscaping.
2) APPROVAL of the provision of the 35 parking spaces along the
western property line, subject to confirmation from TU Electric
Delivery Company, allowing for the relocation of the 12 Cedar Elm
trees into their easement.
3) APPROVAL of the relocation of the generator, subject to the
submission of elevations of the screening wall and assurance that the
wall will match the existing building.
4) APPROVAL of the patio area, subject to specification of the location
of the relocated tree.
5) DENIAL of the variance to the parking requirements, to allow a 264-
parking space deficit.
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.

HISTORY: S-1125R for the House of Style beauty shop was established in 1997.
This Special Use Permit was required to permit a business within a
residential structure on commercial property and to allow on-site
asphalt paving of the parking lot. This SUP was approved subject to
Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Plant List and Sign Design. Subsequently,
a Minor Plat, another Special Use Permit and a Planned Development
were approved on November 14, 2000. The new SUP allowed for a
restaurant use with a private club, which has since expired. The
Item # 4

HISTORY: The Site Plan and Final Plat for this property was approved on
January 13, 2004.
TRANSPORTATION:Denton Tap Road is a P6D divided major arterial built to standard in a 150’
right-of-way. State Highway 121 is designated as a freeway within
the Thoroughfare Plan. It is currently being completed as a 140’ six-
lane divided freeway facility within a 450’ right-of-way.

East - vacant; HC (Highway Commercial)
West - vacant; HC (Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Site plan amendment is to include additional parking
for a medical/office user. The parking ratio of one space per 300-square
feet of building area was originally approved for a professional type office
user. The applicant provided 35 spaces, exceeding the minimum parking
requirement of 28. Subsequent to Site Plan approval, one of two lease
spaces was occupied by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), a medical office use,
and an additional medical office user is now interested in leasing the
remaining lease space. The building is 8,288 square feet; therefore, at one
parking space to every 175-square feet of medical use area, 47 spaces are
required. The applicant is seeking approval to increase the lot size to allow
15 additional parking spaces (11 on-site, 4 off-site) to serve the building.
This desire would be accomplished by adding a 23-foot strip to the
western property line, increasing the lot size from 50,491 to 56,236 square
feet. The applicant has agreed to provide a shared parking agreement for
the off-site spaces to be included in these parking calculations.
There are five perimeter trees shown shifting to the east of the proposed
drive on the west and a new tree depicted at the north end of the proposed
parking row. An additional tree on the south end of the parking row is
needed to fulfill the additional interior (parking lot) landscaping
requirements. One tree is shown along the south perimeter between the
existing and proposed property lines, meeting the additional perimeter
landscaping requirements.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the Coppell/121 Office Park Site Plan
Amendment, subject to the following conditions:
1) Include an additional tree in the south island of the proposed parking row.
2) Provide a shared parking agreement for the proposed off-site parking.

Site Plan
P & Z HEARING DATE: April 20, 2006
C.C. HEARING DATE: May 9, 2006
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Asst. Director of Planning
LOCATION: At the northwest corner of Freeport Parkway and Gateway Blvd.
SIZE OF AREA: 11.62 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: LI (Light Industrial)
REQUEST: To allow the construction of an approximate 142,120-square-foot
office/warehouse building.

HISTORY: The City Council approved the final plat of Gateway Business
Park on June 12, 1990. On October 12, 1993, City Council
approved a replat of Block 2. On April 9, 1996, City Council
approved a replat with site plan for Haverty’s, allowing the
development of a 220,675-square foot regional distribution facility
and a 50,000-square foot-retail furniture center. On December 12,
2000, City Council approved a site plan amendment to allow a
170,590 square foot expansion of the Haverty’s facility. This addition
Item # 7
Page 2 of 5
was never built. In March 2003, an alternative expansion plan for
Haverty’s to allow a 245,277 square-foot building addition and
parking was approved. This proposed expansion never occurred and
site plan expired approximately one year ago.
In March 2001 a Site Plan for a 144,544 square-foot office warehouse
building on 11.62 acres of property, as well as a replat for Block 2,
Lot 3 into 3 separate lots was approved by City Council. The site
plan for Lot 3B has since expired, however the plat is still valid. The
current request is for a new site plan for Lot 3B.
TRANSPORTATION:Gateway Boulevard is a C4U four-lane undivided collector street within a
70’-wide right-of-way. Freeport Parkway is a 4-lane divided road in
a 95’-wide right-of-way, which is indicated on the Thoroughfare Plan
as a C4D/6 (110’ R.O.W.)
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Minyards Corporate headquarters; “LI” Light Industrial
South –Office/Warehouse; “LI” Light Industrial
East - vacant; “LI” Light Industrial
West - vacant; “LI” Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant is proposing to develop a 142,120 square foot
office/warehouse building with parking and truck service areas on
approximately 8.87 acres of property, leaving the northern 2.75 acres of
the site undeveloped. The vacant area is labeled as future development.
The applicant proposes to construct a 10%/90% mix of office and
warehouse uses, providing a total of 182 parking spaces, slightly over the
176 spaces required. The entire rear of the building is occupied by dock
doors accessed via a large truck court/service area. The layout of the site
provides two access points along Freeport Parkway, and two along
Gateway Boulevard. The second point of access along Gateway
Boulevard has been designed primarily as a truck entrance/exit to and
from the facility via a mutual access easement with the property abutting.
Originally, the applicant proposed a 150'-wide accessway that has now
been revised to 40’-wide, with a grasscrete island along the north side of
the driveway. Grasscrete is essentially a concrete paving system, which
allows grass to grow over the portions of the concrete base. This area will
Item # 7
Page 3 of 5
appear to be a landscaped/grassed area, however, it will also support the
occasional 18-wheeler truck which can not maneuver the turning radius
from the access easement onto the property. A detail of this is attached to
this report
Landscaping
All perimeter, interior, and non-vehicular landscape requirements have
been met with regards to the portion of the site proposed to be developed
at this time. Because the northern portion of the site is not proposed to be
developed now, the applicant has not included this area within the
landscape calculations. However, there are several minor drafting and
labeling errors, which are specified in the conditions of approval.
The truck service area is proposed to be screened from Freeport Parkway
by an 9’-high solid screen wall, measuring 40’ in length. The screen wall
will be constructed of the same material as the main structure and painted
to match. Seven Leyland Cypress trees being planted between the wall
and the street will soften the appearance of the screening wall. The north
side of the truck service area will continue to be screened with
landscaping.
A 40’ wide TXU Electric easement is located along Freeport Parkway.
Because of existing poles and overhead wires, the applicant is limited in
the type of trees that may be planted within that area. Typically, large
overstory trees would be planted along the front of the property; however,
due to the height limitation, the applicant has instead proposed to plant a
significant number of crape myrtles in this area. The entire length of the
property along Freeport Parkway will be landscaped in conjunction with
this application. Also within this 40’ wide TXU easement is a twenty-foot
Hike and Bike Trail easement, which also requires that trees be limited to
ornamental. However, a condition of approval is the acknowledgement
that these trees are subject to being removed in the event that the 8-12 foot
wide trail is constructed in the future.
The design of the parking lot places 18’ deep parking spaces throughout
the site. The reduced length of 18’ in lieu of 19’ is permitted with the
provision of at least 2’ minimum clearance beyond where the curb or
wheel stop restricts forward movement. As proposed, two feet of
clearance exists, however, this area can not be counted as landscaped area.
The applicant has revised the landscape calculations to reflect this change
and has adjusted the calculations accordingly.
Item # 7
Page 4 of 5
Elevations
The architecture of the proposed warehouse/office facility will be two-
toned gray painted tilt wall construction with green accents and tinted
glass windows and silver mullions. Enhanced entrances are being
provided at the corners of the building with two additional entry features
along the Freeport Parkway frontage. These features extend three (3) feet
from the face of the building. In addition, vertical architectural features,
with green accent color are spaced every 50 feet along the façade. These
undulations protrude 8 inches from the building. Staff is concerned that
these features will not provide the needed relief to break up the expanse of
the over 700-foot long building running parallel and within 100 feet from
Freeport Parkway. At least 1-2 foot offsets should be required of the 8-
inch features and a minimum 5-foot offset should be required for the
building entrances.
A 54-square foot, externally lit, monument sign is proposed adjacent to the
main driveway along Freeport Parkway. It will be constructed of the same
materials and painted the same colors as the main structure on this site.
The building elevations indicate the proposed areas for possible future
attached signage. The signage is illustrated in such a way that up to six
tenants may have attached signage. The outlined areas are in compliance
with the sign regulations and will allow for individual tenants to obtain
signage as they occupy the buildings.
As previously mentioned, the layout of the site places a large open area at
the northern portion of the site (approximately 2.75 acres). No additional
development can occur on this portion of the site without amending the
current site plan, requiring review by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council. The applicant has clearly delineated the
boundary between the undeveloped area and the site plan area. However,
staff is concerned with the appearance of this area in terms of
maintenance, etc.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Gateway Business Park, Lot 3B, Block 2,
Site Plan subject to the following conditions:
1. Show Fire Department Connection (FDC) location on Site Plan and Water
Plan. FDC must be within 50' of a fire hydrant and on the same side of the
fire lane.
2. Correct the dimension of the northern property line of this property, and add
the dimension of the northern line of the “limits of work” on the Site Plan
and the Landscape Plan.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
CASE: Text Amendment
P & Z HEARING DATE: April 20, 2006
C.C. HEARING DATE: May 9, 2006
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Asst. Planning Director
REQUEST: Consider approval of text amendments to the Coppell Zoning
Ordinance to add definitions and regulations for hotels, motels and
residence hotels.
DISCUSSION: Currently, hotels and motels are permitted in most non-residential zoning
districts (O, R, C and HC) by Special Use Permit. They are permitted by
right in the H district (including bed and breakfast establishments), and
prohibited in the Light Industrial district. As indicated on Attachment
“A”, the Zoning Ordinance currently contains fairly standard definitions
for these uses and requires one parking space per unit and one space per
200-square feet of floor area for commercial uses. The hotel industry has
changed significantly adding new products, including suite hotels and
residence/extended stay facilities. In order to update Coppell’s regulations,
other cities’ hotels, motels and residence hotels regulations were surveyed
and reviewed to develop standards most suitable for Coppell.
The first amendment being proposed is to revise how these uses are
defined and to add a new use, which is a Residence Hotel. As detailed in
Attachment “B” the definition of Hotel is being revised to add the
following wording: “The establishment furnishes customary hotel services
and many contain a restaurant, club, lounge, banquet hall and/or meeting
rooms.” Also, “motor hotel” and “tourist court” is being deleted from the
Motel definition, as well as the allowance for detached guestrooms.
However, the more significant revisions are the inclusion of a definition
for Residence Hotel and the provision of development standards for all
three uses.
Item # 8
Page 2 of 3
Residence hotel is generally defined as “A multi-dwelling, extended-stay
lodging facility consisting of efficiency units or suites with a complete
kitchen, suitable for long-term occupancy…financial consideration being
calculated on a nightly, weekly and/or monthly basis…” This is
differentiated from a hotel or motel by the length of occupancy and the
inclusion of complete kitchen facilities.
The intent of the inclusion of development standards is to require the
provision of at least three amenities, which will enhance the quality of the
project. Amenities such as: Indoor/Outdoor Pool, Spa/Sauna, Weight
Room/Fitness Center, Playground, Sports Court, Plaza/Atrium, Game
Room, Jogging Trail, Conference Room (1,000-square-foot minimum), or
Full Service Restaurant (minimum seating capacity of 35) are included as
options.
Staff also reviewed the zoning districts in which hotel/motel uses are
permitted. Currently, they are permitted by Special Use Permit in the
Office, Retail, Commercial and Highway Commercial districts. In
reviewing the built environment in Coppell and the existing Zoning Map it
became evident that most of the vacant land zoned for Office, Retail and
Commercial is adjacent to low-density single-family or institutional uses
and; therefore, not appropriate for hotel/motel uses. Further, to attract a
quality hotel/motel product into the City of Coppell, it appears appropriate
to target the few remaining parcels with freeway frontage and access. The
City recently initiated a rezoning of remaining freeway frontage to HC
(Highway Commercial) to encourage this type of regional use. Another
prime location for a quality hotel development is at the northwest corner
of I-635 and Belt Line Road. Although it is currently zoned Agriculture,
as a holding zone, the Future Land Use Plan designated this area for
Freeway Commercial and Office, which would be very compatible with a
high quality hotel complex.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the following text amendments:
• Sec. 12-42-1, Special Definitions revising existing definitions of hotel
and motel and to add a definition of residence hotel;
• Sec. 12-30 Special Use Permits to allow a hotel, motel and residence
hotel by Special Use Permit in “HC” and “H” districts; delete these uses
by Special Use Permit from the “O”, “R” and “C” districts;
• Sec. 28A-1 to delete hotel and motel as permitted in the “H” district, and
• Sec. 12-30-18 Hotel, Motel and Residence Hotel to provide
development standards for these uses.
