TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Planning
RE: Proposed revisions to Sec. 6-15-6. Provisions for temporary
(on-premise) signs.
History
Given the proliferation of unsightly leasing signs, City staff in consultation
with the City Council, has determined that it is in the best interest of the
community at large to reevaluate the City’s present sign ordinance with
regard to leasing multifamily, retail, commercial, office, and industrial
space.
In July of this year, 38 notices were sent to property owners regarding non-
conforming lease signs that were in technical violation of the City’s
existing Code of Ordinances. This notice stated that any sign presently in
place that meets the City’s size requirements would be allowed to remain
until such time as new regulations were developed and implemented by
the city of Coppell. February 1, 2008 was stated as the target date by
which time all leasing signs must be brought into code compliance by the
property owner.
Research and Analysis
Staff surveyed eight surrounding communities regarding their temporary
sign regulations. As detailed on Attachment “B”, Coppell’s regulations are
somewhat consistent with the comparison communities in terms of
quantity, size and locations of signs. However, our current requirement
that leasing signs must be removed when the property is 75% leased or
sold appeared overly restrictive. Finally, the city of Southlake recently
approved an amendment to their sign regulations including various
design standards for temporary signs. These proposed revisions are in part,
modeled after those provisions.
Page 2 of 2
Summary of Proposed Revisions:
¾ Reduce the size of signs along S.H. 121 and I.H. 635, on properties
greater than two acres in size from 200 square feet to 64 square feet,
and on properties less than two acres from 36 square feet to 32 square
feet.
¾ Allow 64 square foot signs in Light Industrial zoned areas on properties
greater than two acres and 32 square foot signs on properties less than
two acres (currently maximum size permitted is 36 square feet).
¾ On all other business properties (MF, HC, C, R, O and PD’s for those
uses) the following revisions are proposed:
o Maximum size reduced from 36 square foot to 32 square feet;
o Reduce the number of signs from four to one per lot, per street
frontage;
o Incorporate design standards to include types of materials,
colors, size, height, etc.
o Allow for a Permanent Leasing Sign in lieu of a Temporary
Leasing sign if incorporated within multi-tenant sign.
¾ Revise the existing provision that this type of sign would only be
permitted until the property was 75% leased….to being allowed when
any vacancy exists, however, signs shall be removed within seven days
after a C.O. is issued for the vacancy.

HB Dear Jim The
th Session of
the Texas
Legislature adjourned onMay Among the bills that were passed by the Legislature was House Bill Enrolled copy attached
The bill was captioned as follows relating to the exemption from ad valorem taxation of
tangible personal property held temporarily at alocation in this state for assembling
storing manufacturing processing or fabricating purposes This bill allows for a
new type of Freeport
exemption and is the enacting legislation for SJR that was passed by the th Legislature and placed on the ballot
and approved by the voters in The existing Freeport legislation that has been authorized by the Texas Constitution and
Section of the Property Tax Code allows Freeport goods that leave the state within days to be
exempt from taxation This law has been in effect since HB adds a new exemption that allows goods to
be exempt if they are shipped to another location either inside oroutside the State of Texas within days The goods
eligible for the exemption must be held in a location in this state that was not owned by
or under the control of the owner of the goods An ownership interest indoes not include alease but rather was intended
to include partnerships joint ventures oraffiliate ownership of afacility With that in mind the meaning of direct
or indirect ownership interest in the location where the goods in transit are detained isunclear as to
whether alocation that is leased or subject to a lease purchase option would qualify Itis quite possible
that many large retailers who maintain inventory in a warehouse that they currently own could opt to sell the
facility lease it from the new owner and apply for the new exemption The bill requires that a
taxing unit can opt outof the exemption by taking positive action
to tax the goods before January of the first tax year that the governing body proposes to tax goods in transit
This must be done by official action of the governing body of the taxing unit Before that can happen the governing
body of the taxing unit must conduct a public hearing If the governing body of a taxing unit provides
for the taxation of the goods in transit as provided by this bill the exemption prescribed does not apply to
that unit The goods in transit remain subject to taxation by the taxing unit until the governing body of the
taxing unit in the manner required for official action rescinds or repeals its previous action to tax goods in transit
or otherwise determines that the exemption will apply to that taxing unit Office of Executive Director Chief Appraiser N
Stem mons Freeway Dallas Texas Web Site www dallascad ora
Based on the aforementioned if your taxing unit does not act to tax these goods they will become eligible
for this exemption on January In order to assist you in making this decision our office has prepared an estimate
of the amount of value lost in your jurisdiction ifyou allow the goods to receive the exemption This estimate
is based on values and a liberal interpretation of the question of whether or not a lease constitutes control of
the real estate in which the goods are stored Ihave also included a summary ofhow much value was
lost in your jurisdiction to the existing Freeport law in Remember if you choose
totax these goods you must act before January This includes allotting enough time to conduct the required
public hearing Iam providing this letter to help your agency make an informed decision on this exemption The
Dallas Central Appraisal District has no position onthis issue and will administer the exemption according to
your wishes Please review the information we have provided Ifyou have any questions feel free

HISTORY: Overall, this property has had a long history of development
proposals. Prior to 1973 the majority of land between Denton Tap
and Coppell Roads, north of the Cotton belt Railroad (now DART
right-of-way) and south of Bethel Road, was zoned SF-7 and SF-10. In
March of 1973 approximately 100 acres was zoned for Commercial
and Planned Development for a Family Entertainment Center, similar
ITEM #5
PAGE 2 of 7
to Sandy Lake Park, at the request of the owner shown to be
Coppell Historical Corporation. That proposal was never
constructed. In January of 1991 115 acres including the 100 acres
just mentioned was reclassified to Planned Development-Light
Industrial at the request of Centre Development Co., representing
the Baptist Foundation of Texas, as owner. That plan showed
commercial, office and light industrial uses surrounding park land
and an extension branch of Texas A&M University. That plan never
materialized, and in January of 1997, the Baptist Foundation sold 21
acres of this property for residential development—Summit at the
Springs—a 55 lot single family subdivision. In August of 1998, Council
approved a 10-acre, 23-lot residential subdivision on part of the
remaining Baptist Foundation property known as The Reserve. In
June of 1999, City Council denied a zoning request for 102 single-
family residential lots on 37 acres on the western portion of the
remaining Foundation property adjacent to Coppell Road. Some
time later, the city purchased the land for future city uses, including
park, open space and public facility possibilities. At about that same
time, First Baptist Church of Coppell purchased 20 acres of Baptist
Foundation property at the corner of Denton Tap and Bethel Roads.
That property has since been sold to Toll Brothers for a 53-lot
residential subdivision. In December of 2000, Council approved a
plan for the Coppell Service Center on 7.5 acres, which has
subsequently been constructed, and in June of 2005, approved a
two-phase medical complex on 3.2 acres of property along Bethel
Road. Phase one of the medical complex has been constructed
and occupied. The city is currently in process of selling
approximately 11 acres for mixed use along Coppell Road, including
a conference center, retail/office/boutique hotel use and a pet
care facility. The most recent proposal, the one being considered
tonight, is for a 13,500-square-foot facility to be known as the
Grapevine Springs Community Center.
TRANSPORTATION: Bethel Road is a two-lane unimproved asphalt street contained
within a variable width right-of-way. Construction of a concrete
road is scheduled to begin late third quarter, 2008.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan, as amended, and the Old
Coppell Master Plan show this property as suitable for a Community
Center use.
DISCUSSION: The proposed zoning change will allow development of Grapevine
Springs Community Center, a public use structure sorely needed. It
will replace the outmoded Coppell Senior Center, and is envisioned
to contain a variety of activities. To properly evaluate this requested
use, a number of variables were considered by staff. They are
elaborated on below.
MASTER PLAN
When the Coppell Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1996, this
property was envisioned to become a portion of a Historic District
described in the Plan to include areas on both sides of Bethel Road
and extending north and south along Coppell Road. When the Old
Coppell Master Plan was completed in May of 2002, a much more
detailed concept evolved from the initial Plan. This Old Coppell Plan
was arrived at after careful study of the original Comprehensive
Plan, field observation of possible sites, brain storming, charrette
workshops, and extensive conversations and public input regarding
the Center. The Old Coppell Master Plan which evolved from these
activities resulted in a number of uses proposed for the area
including residential, commercial, retail, and public use including a
community and senior center. As mentioned above, the Old
Coppell Plan was completed in May of 2002 and subsequent to that
time, the plan has changed somewhat—Concept Plans are just
that—concepts. However, the basic objective of the Plan to
propose a community center located next to Grapevine Springs
Park and south of Bethel Road is retained by this application. We
are looking at a community center that has moved to the east, but
still retains the spirit of the original Plan. We support its location.
SITE PLAN
The Site Plan proposed for the Center is excellent. Access is from
Bethel Road immediately south and aligned with the existing
Hearthstone Lane. A meandering drive takes one to the Center and
its alignment has been carefully located to save as many trees as
possible. In addition, attention has been devoted to placing the
parking lots in small increments avoiding the “sea of parking” which
sometimes results with public buildings. The structure itself has been
placed at one of the most desirable locations on the site overlooking
Grapevine Springs Park with spectacular views.
The plan calls for reconstructing many of the retaining walls, flumes,
and fire pits in the Park, and several walls are extended onto the site
of the Center, incorporating what’s existing into the development
ITEM #5
PAGE 4 of 7
plan. Finally, the existing trail system is proposed to link up with the
pedestrian circulation system at the Center, further enhancing the
connection between the two. The only issue staff has with the Site
Plan relates to site lighting. The Old Coppell Design Guidelines states
that lighting fixtures should be uniform throughout the district. It is
difficult to determine whether the light standards show conform, but
the fixtures shown on the Site Plan and conversations with the
architect suggest they do not. All other developments in the Historic
District conform, and this proposal should also. Overall, a better
location for this facility would be hard to find, and with minor
changes, we support the Site Plan proposed.
LANDSCAPING
Several plant materials have been introduced into the plan in an
attempt to compliment the existing site landscaping. Many trees are
being saved and the added plant material compliment and
duplicate on-site species. Pedestrian trails being proposed are
composed of crushed granite, complimenting the existing trail
system. In reviewing the landscape plan, the applicant has stated
that 91% of the site is being devoted to landscaping. There were
three proposed plant materials not on the Plant Palette, but the
applicant has justified their use as groundcover, grass, and accent
plants. Overall, the landscape plan complies with our guidelines,
and we support it.
SIGNAGE
The Old Coppell Master Plan discourages any type of monument
signage, opting instead for attached signs on buildings. This
provision was proposed in anticipation of buildings being placed
close to the road where attached signs would identify the users and
room for monument signage was non–existent. Two somewhat
oversized monument signs are proposed for this site. The main entry
sign is shown to be roughly 10 feet long and 3.5 feet high, adjacent
to Bethel Road and size-wise, complies. However, there are two
columns on each side of the monument approximately three feet by
four feet, so as a practical matter; the entry sign appears to be
roughly 20 feet long and four feet high. The secondary monument
sign is located at the entry to the parking lot (approximately 600 feet
from the main entry sign), and is slightly smaller at 3.5 feet tall and 15
feet wide when looking at the overall sign appearance. Both signs
are constructed of native stone with cast stone caps. No indication
was found on the plans whether these signs are to be lighted or not,
but if lighted, exterior lighting would be required. As a general rule,
we would be opposed to two monument signs for this type project.
However, since the overall land area is composed of over 22 acres,
the observation that attached signage does not lend itself well to
this building, the fact that these signs are separated by considerable
ITEM #5
PAGE 5 of 7
distance, and the feeling that two signs will not be intrusive on a
parcel of this size, we support their inclusion on the site.
ARCHITECTURE
The most troubling aspect of this project is the design of the building
itself. Landscaping is fine, the site plan is outstanding and the
monument signs warrant approval. The building takes considerable
license with the Old Coppell Design Guidelines, however. For
example, gabled buildings are encouraged in Old Coppell—this
building has a shed roof. The Guidelines recommend small, multi-
pained windows with exposed mullions. This building possesses vast
areas of sheet glass extending from grade to ceiling line. There is a
variety of building materials proposed here including stucco,
laminated beams, stone, glass, aluminum, metal tube columns, and
copper cladding. It’s almost as if the building was searching for an
identity and can not decide what it wants to be. Entry doors are
encouraged to be traditional in design within the district, but these
show to be large glass panels. The building does not seem to
identify with any of the newly constructed buildings in Old Coppell
that were constructed under the guidelines. Some of the building
materials are appropriate—stone and wood—but several are not.
The steel tube columns, the stucco, the design of the wood
supporting beams, and the copper cladding all raise questions
regarding the design of this structure. It is somewhat reminiscent of a
‘50’s rest stop along the then new interstate system.
Not to be totally negative regarding this building, it does have some
redeeming value. The large glass areas are justified along the back
of the building overlooking Grapevine Springs Park. The stone and
wood building material makes sense--there is just not enough of it
here. By adding gabled roof forms the building elevations would
change and the overall appearance of the building would be more
in conformance with the Guidelines. Removing the stucco and
replacing it with stone would be another good move. Although the
architect has offered arguments defending the flat lock seam
copper panels, it still seems to be a very expensive material that is
difficult to justify in the Historic District. Granted, the building is set
back from the street in a grove of trees minimizing the effect it will
have on adjacent development. However, we can not disregard
the fact that several design guidelines have been ignored.
Short of redesigning the building, it is difficult for planning staff to
accept this structure as reflective of the Old Coppell Design
Guidelines. In the past we have had several initial submittals
redesigned including the Kohlberg project, the Old Town Medical
Center, the Hard Eight restaurant, and Old Coppell Townhouses, to
name a few. Redesign should be warranted in this case.

At the September 20th Planning Commission meeting, members
voted to hold this case under advisement until the October hearing
so the applicant could address concerns regarding various issues.
Those issues revolved around building design, lighting, construction
materials, window treatments, and degree of compatibility with the
Old Coppell Plan, among others.
The architect has met with Planning staff, corresponded through
telephone conversations and e-mails, and has attempted to address
the concerns of the Planning Commission. In summary, here’s what
he proposes to gain approval of this project:
1) Light fixtures have been changed to conform to Old
Coppell Design Guidelines.
2) Stucco exterior has been replaced with masonry.
3) Metal columns have been replaced with stone and wood
on front of building.
4) Metal columns on rear of building have been replaced
with all wood columns.
5) Window design on front of building now meets Design
Guidelines.
6) Entry automatic doors have a bronze finish, more in line
with wood framing.
7) Wood beams are now consistent throughout the building.
8) Thirteen additional parking spaces have been provided.
One design change suggested by Commission that has not been
addressed is provision of a gabled roof. The architect prepared
some rough sketches of a gabled roof over the entry, and
concluded it looked out of place and did not compliment the rest of
the building. It became a very awkward looking structure. In
addition, the roof pitches did not match the rest of the building and
staff feels that the original entry area design (sloped roof) is more
compatible with the rest of the building. That said, we feel the
original roof design works better on this particular building.
With regard to building materials, the architect has eliminated the
stucco and added stone masonry in its place. He has also modified
the design of the vertical support structures, and they are now either
all stone or clad in wood. He feels strongly that the copper cladding
needs to remain on the building. The windows on the front of the
building are now in conformance with the Design Guidelines and
overall the building is much more closely aligned with the Old
Coppell Design Guidelines.
With these changes, staff feels this project is much more reflective of
building design envisioned for Old Coppell and we are now
supportive of this proposal.
