Re: Presentation and Update Regarding the Senior and Community Center
Background:
A Council goal for 2012 is to review the possibility of expanding the operating hours at the
Coppell Senior and Community Center. Staff would like to fulfill this goal while updating the
Council on the operations at the new center, review what other communities offer and how we
compare, and look at some usage figures at the new facility. Several local Senior Centers were
contacted to get an idea of the level of service at the Coppell Senior Center. Also, the seniors
who regularly attend the Coppell Senior Center were surveyed to determine the likelihood of
attending in the evenings and on Saturday mornings if the facility were open for senior activities.
They were also asked how they felt about reducing the qualifying age of an attendee to 50 from
55, as all of the other surveyed communities have already done.
The Coppell Senior and Community Center has become a vibrant and active place where it is not
uncommon to find a number of activities occurring at the same time. Crafts, card games,
reading, accessing one of the center’s computers, pool playing and exercising may be happening
all at once. The variety and number of activities that regularly take place at the new center was
impossible at the previous location. This popularity has led to the idea of expanding the hours of
operation for the Senior Center, which are currently 9:00am-6:00pm, Monday through Thursday,
and 9:00am-5:00pm, Fridays. Expanding the hours later into the evening will allow for the
participants to return to socialize after leaving for dinner. Saturday morning hours will offer
extended time for those who ordinarily would not be able to attend during the week days. It
would also offer the targeted “younger senior” population the opportunity to enjoy the center
after work. A survey of the current participants reflects that there is little interest in arriving
before 9:00am, but 88% indicate they would attend activities after 6:00pm, and 87% would come
on Saturday mornings. Based on these facts, it is proposed that the hours be extended to 8pm on
Monday and Wednesday, and open from 9:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday. However, the
additional hours will require added staff time along with planning and coordination of the
expanded activities. Staff will carefully consider the budget before increasing the hours of
operation.
Usage of the building, between senior activities and rentals, really keeps the staff busy. There are
two full time and two part time staff dedicated to the center, and others fill in depending upon the
daily activities scheduled. Community rentals have become a large aspect of what the staff
spends their time on. The number of rentals supported at the facility has remained fairly constant
since the facility opened in April of 2010. That first partial year, there were 47 rentals, in 2011
staff supported 80 rentals, and thus far in 2012 there are 49 rentals scheduled. Supporting these
rentals, from the initial informational discussions and site tours, to scheduling, booking,
coordinating staff and then attending the rental to ensure a successful event, takes precious staff
time away from coordinating opportunities for seniors. However, they have adjusted over time
to managing both of these different realms very well. With some time and experience shared by
a staff member from a different division, they have managed to successfully meet the demands of
the seniors and the various renters. Although there were certainly some missteps early on with
the support of the rentals at the center, they seem to have transitioned into a smooth running
operation with some assistance from the city cleaning crew and a rededicated and trained staff.
While vital to the community and a large part of the daily emphasis of the staff, rentals of the
facility are not their most important focus. The senior programs, events and activities are the life
of the center and the passion that drives the staff every day. And what a difference moving to the
new facility has had on the numbers of activities that can now be scheduled. In fact, between
2008 and 2011, the numbers of active seniors that attend the center on a monthly basis has
increased by 50%, to 526; the number of independent visits has increased by 37%, to over 1,000;
while the number of programs and events offered has increased by 47%, to over 1,600 annually.
There is certainly much to choose from at the Coppell Senior and Community Center at
Grapevine Springs. These increased choices and a more broad-based focus has led to the
discussion about opening the senior programs to younger seniors in the community. With a
current qualifying age of 55 to participate, Coppell is the most restrictive of the communities
surveyed. All others allow those age 50 and above to participate in senior activities at their
Senior Centers. This has become the expected norm among seniors who regularly visit centers in
other local communities. The Coppell seniors are in favor of lowering the qualifying age to 50
and the Senior Advisory Committee has asked that this policy be implemented immediately.
Council Action Requested
Staff would like to come away from the discussion with a general endorsement from the Council
regarding an increase to the established hours of operation of the Senior Center.
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas designated the month of
March each year Women Veterans Month in tribute to the immeasurable contributions that
women in the military have made to this nation; and

From: Brad Reid, Director of Parks and Recreation
Re: Consider Approval of Standards of Care for Youth Camp Programs
This item is submitted annually to the City Council so guidelines for state exemption of day care
licensing can be applied for all youth camp programs offered by the Parks & Recreation
Department. These camps include Camp Do-It-All, KidzConnect, Missoula, Teen Camp, Kamp
Movie Makers, and all those offered at the Recreation Center in the summer and any individual
days and holidays that are scheduled throughout the school year.
The youth camps offered by the City of Coppell are exempt from licensure as observed in the
Health and Safety code §141.0021 of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). It
is applicable because our programs are operated by a municipality, are recreation programs for
children ages 5 through 13 and because they meet the following criteria:
The Standards of Care for the program are annually adopted by ordinance.
The standards of care include staffing ratios and qualifications, facility health and safety
standards, and monitoring and enforcement provisions.
The standards of care are provided to the parents of each program participant.
The parents of each program participant are informed the program is not licensed by the
state.
The program is not advertised as child care.
As parents register their children for Coppell camps they are provided a copy of the standards, as
listed in the requirements. Along with the standards they are also provided information on camp
hours of operation, attire, and all other information parents need for camp to be successful for
their child. These standards of care are closely monitored by Recreation Coordinators and
Supervisors as well as by the Assistant Director of Recreation.
Staff recommends approval of the Standards of Care as written and submitted and will be present
at the meeting to answer any questions.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 27, 2012
To: Mayor and Council
From: Jennifer Miller, Director of Finance
Via: Clay Phillips, City Manager
Subject: Budget Amendment - Fiscal Year 2011-12
This budget amendment is being brought forward to reflect encumbrance carryovers, items that have been
brought before Council during the first part of the fiscal year and to cor rect an omission from the original
budget submittal.
General Fund
At this time the General Fund revenues are being amended $308,625. The main sources of the revenue
increase are from those revenue streams that are not traditionally budgeted such as freeport and rendition
taxes ($25,752), prior year ($20,764), sale of city property ($18,228), damage/claims reimbursement
($20,241), salary reimbursements ($47,049), and ambulance services, which is a result of the fee increase
passed last year ($175,000). We continue to monitor Sales Tax revenue, but are not amending it at this
time.
General Fund expenditures are being increased $778,111. $628,116 is associated with encumbrance
carryovers. Encumbrance carryovers are those items that were budgeted in the previous fiscal year,
purchased in the previous fiscal year, but were not received by year end. The amounts are then carried
forward into the next fiscal year. In addition to the encumbrance carryover, Combined Services is being
increased $81,120 for the transfer to the CEDF for the remaining costs of the Heritage Park Project
(November 2011). The Police Department is being increased $43,687 for the Inter-local agreement with
Carrollton, Farmers Branch and Addison regarding the viability study of a combined dispatch center. Parks
and Recreation is being amended $25,188 for items that were previously approved but inadvertently left out
of the current budget: service center workstations ($5,000), a Kubota mower ($17,000) and a Buffalo
blower ($6,500).
Water and Sewer Fund
Revenues are not being amended for the Water and Sewer Fund at this time. Expenses are being amended
in Utility Operations and Utility Billing for encumbrance carryovers.
Police Special Revenue Fund
Revenues are being amended to reflect forfeitures that have been received. The expenditures are being
amended for encumbrance carryovers.
Park Special Revenue Fund
Revenues are being amended for the actual park fees received.
Tree Preservation Fund
The revenues are being amended for the actual tree preservation fees received.
Self Insurance Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers.
Infrastructure Maintenance Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers ($474,862) and for the raised pavement
markings project approved on February 28, 2012.
Municipal Drainage District Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers.
Historic Preservation Fund
The expenditures are being increased for the transfer to the CEDF for the Heritage Park project.
Donations – Special Revenue
Revenues are being amended to reflect the receipt of recycling proceeds and donations to the Fire
Department. Expenditures are being amended for the Arts Center replacement of all stage curtains per the
Fire Code.
Recreational Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers.
CEDC
The revenues are being amended to $0 since the fund was closed out in fiscal year 2010-11.
C.R.D.C. Special Revenue
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers ($3,575,352), the preliminary route study for
the Hike/Bike Trail along the TXU/Oncor ROW and the planning and design of erosion irrigation at Andy
Brown East.
Municipal Court Tech Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers.
Coppell Economic Development Foundation
The revenues and expenditures are associated with the Heritage Park project.
Rolling Oaks Fund
Expenditures are being amended for encumbrance carryovers.

RE: Barcel USA, LLC Enterprise Zone – Revised Ordinance
City Council approved Ordinance No. 2011-1295 on November 8, 2011. The Ordinance
declared certain property within the City as an Enterprise Zone pursuant to the Texas
Enterprise Zone Act, Chapter 2303, nominated Barcel USA, LLC as the nominee for
qualification, established terms and conditions of qualification for the Enterprise Zone
designation, provided for a liaison, provided for an annual report, provided for
identification and summary of local incentives that may be available for the business
enterprise and provided for an effective date. The application for Enterprise Zone status
was submitted to the State on March 1, 2012. Applicants receive points based on the
possible local incentives available for the business enterprise. Since the time the original
ordinance was passed in November, the State has started awarding points for possible
incentives that were not included in the original ordinance. Adding these possible
incentives does not mean that the City is providing them. It is just stating that they are
incentives that are possible if the City were to ever decide to offer them. Most
importantly, it allows Barcel USA, LLC the ability to receive the maximum number of
points for local incentives from the State. Therefore, this ordinance amends Ordinance
No. 2011-1295 to include the additional possible incentives.
This ordinance also modifies the termination date for the enterprise project. The
termination date is 5 years from the application date. Barcel’s consultant had planned to
submit the application on December 1, 2011, which made the termination date 2016. For
various reasons, Barcel chose to wait until March 1, 2012 to submit their application.
Therefore, the termination date needs to be modified to 2017 rather than 2016.
This ordinance needs to be approved as a follow-up to the application for Barcel USA,
LLC to be nominated for qualification. Barcel USA, LLC is seeking participation in the
Texas Enterprise Zone program by receiving an enterprise project designation. The
Enterprise Zone program is a State program and has no impact on the City of Coppell’s
revenues. The program was created at the State level to foster the growth of new jobs,
but it can also be used as a retention tool. Companies designated as an Enterprise Zone
receive rebates of the State’s portion of sales and use tax equal to $2,500 per employee
for a period of five years.
For a company to qualify for the program, it must meet certain requirements and be
nominated for the program by the local government in which the business resides.
Requirements to be approved as an Enterprise Zone:
-The company must be designated by the local government in which the
business resides as a qualified Enterprise Zone.
-A public hearing must be held.
-The company must have a minimum of $5M in capital investment over the
five-year period.
-The company must maintain existing employment levels for the 5-year period.
The company, working with the local government, must complete the State application
process and file the application with the Office of the Governor. The State only accepts
applications quarterly. The original application was filed on March 1, 2012, and the steps
being taken now are only corrections to the original application requested by the State.

HISTORY: The Old Coppell Master Plan was accepted by City Council in April of 2002. On
May 13, 2003, Council amended the Land Use component of the 1996
Comprehensive Plan and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as proposed in the
Old Coppell Master Plan and as recommended in April, 2003 by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. On January 11, 2005, the HO (Historic Overlay) district,
containing various base zonings, was changed to a straight H (Historic) district,
which includes standards for construction, design guidelines and use regulations
for Old Coppell.
ITEM # 6
Page 2 of 3
The subject property contains two buildings and a historic water tank previously
used to serve the area. The larger of the two buildings (3,800 square foot) was
built in 1959 by J.P. Maynard, R. Story and volunteers. Originally constructed as
a two-bay Fire Station housing a 1941 Ford Fire Truck, it was later enlarged to
contain four bays. The smaller 1,300 square-foot “annex” building was
subsequently constructed and served as a city administrative facility. Portable
buildings were placed directly behind the fire station and served as the temporary
home to a variety of city offices. The buildings eventually became the Coppell
Senior Center for several years until the completion of the Grapevine Springs
Community and Senior Center facility in 2008.
The site was included in the Old Coppell Master Plan as an example of a
potential adaptive reuse. A very conceptual sketch was included in the plan
(attached). This depicted a restaurant/café with the exterior of the building having
a raised parapet with decorative cap to screen the mechanical equipment on the
roof, a brick veneer on the cinder-block, awnings over each window and an
outdoor eating area in the front.
TRANSPORTATION: Coppell Road is a two-lane, asphalt road contained within a variable width right-
of-way. The plans for the improvements currently underway show a variable
width right-of-way and approximately 34 feet of pavement with an eight-foot
sidewalk on the west and a six-foot sidewalk on the east. On-street angled parking
directly abuts this proposal and will provide this property and other adjacent
properties public parking.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Flood plain; Planned Development–213 Revision 2-Historic (PD-213R2-H)
South – Retail; Historic
East - Vacant; Historic
West – Music school; Historic
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011 shows the property as suitable
for development in accordance with the Old Coppell Historic District as
outlined in the Old Coppell Master Plan.
DISCUSSION: As stated in the Coppell Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, the adopted Old
Coppell Master Plan provides recommendations for future revitalization and
redevelopment in the district. Some of the recommendations (in bold) and how
they have been taken into account relative to this site are listed below.
1. Adaptive reuse and infill development - Specifically planned as an adaptive
reuse site, the conversion to an office use is appropriate.
2. Streetscapes and gateways – The “Bethel Road Project” currently under
construction contains a small segment of South Coppell Road directly in front
of this request which features on-street angled parking, a sidewalk and street
trees planted at the end of each parking row. The Streetscaping is further
enhanced with the landscaping proposed for this development. Three Live
Oaks, four Burr Oaks and one Shumard Red Oak are proposed to be integrated
throughout the existing development.
3. Urban design and architecture - The existing cinder block building is
proposed to be enhanced with a brick veneer and a raised parapet, screening
ITEM # 6
Page 3 of 3
the mechanical equipment on the roof, wooden canopies over the proposed
windows and doors.
4. Access and parking - In addition to the on-street parking of the Coppell Road
improvements, there is an existing parking area to the rear with 18 parking
spaces (17 required). This is proposed to be resurfaced and restriped. This
area is screened by the buildings, which is ideal for any development in Old
Town.
5. Business Development - Amcat is the proposed tenant who will provide more
office space in the district and will generate additional daytime population for
the area.
6. Marketing and promotion - The property was heavily marketed through the
Request for proposal (RFP) process which began in 2011.
7. Funding and incentives and fiscal implementations - The applicant is
planning to apply for a façade grant specific to the Old Town area.
8. Implementation strategies – Until completed, staff will continue to work
closely with the applicant in the implementation of this adaptive reuse of the
former Fire Station and Senior Center buildings.
The water tank component to this development is being platted as a separate lot
with Bethel Road access and the City of Coppell will retain ownership. Through
various discussions with the Historic Society, it has been determined that it will
eventually be painted and featured with a historic plaque similar to the one on the
Kirkland House summarizing the significance of the structure.
Staff is comfortable recommending approval of the Planned Development subject
to a minor drafting correction and an addition of a PD condition note relating to
the landscape deficiencies.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of PD-253-H, Old Town Water Tank/Office subject to the following
conditions:
1. Add a Planned Development Condition note to the Site/Landscape Plan stating the deficiencies to the
perimeter, interior and nonvehicular landscaping area and tree requirements.
2. The wood door is proposed to have glass in the center. Revise the elevations and rendering accordingly.
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: The Old Coppell Master Plan was accepted by City Council in April of 2002. On
May 13, 2003, Council amended the Land Use component of the 1996
ITEM # 7
Page 2 of 3
Comprehensive Plan and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as proposed in the
Old Coppell Master Plan and as recommended in April, 2003 by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. On January 11, 2005, the HO (Historic Overlay) district,
containing various base zonings, was changed to a straight H (Historic) district,
which includes standards for construction, design guidelines and use regulations
for Old Coppell.
The subject property contains two buildings and a historic water tank previously
used to serve the area. The larger of the two buildings (3,800 sq. ft.) was built in
1959 by J.P. Maynard, R. Story and volunteers. Originally constructed as a two
bay Fire Station housing a 1941 Ford Fire Truck, it was later enlarged to contain 4
bays. The smaller 1,300 sq. ft. “annex” building was subsequently constructed
and served as a city administrative facility. Portable buildings were placed
directly behind the fire station and served as the temporary home to a variety of
city offices. The buildings eventually became the Coppell Senior Center for
several years until the completion of the Grapevine Springs Community and
Senior Center facility in 2008.
The site was included in the Old Coppell Master Plan as an example of a
potential adaptive reuse. A very conceptual sketch was included in the plan. This
depicted a restaurant/café with the exterior of the building having a raised parapet
with decorative cap to screen the mechanical equipment on the roof, a brick
veneer on the cinder-block, awnings over each window and an outdoor eating area
in the front.
TRANSPORTATION: Coppell Road is a two-lane, asphalt road contained within a variable width right-
of-way. The plans for the improvements currently underway show a variable
width right-of-way and approximately 34' of pavement with an 8' sidewalk on the
west and a 6' sidewalk on the east. On-street angled parking directly abuts this
proposal and will provide this property and other adjacent properties public
parking.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – Flood plain; Planned Development–213 Revision 2-Historic (PD-213R2-H)
South – Retail; Historic
East - Vacant; Historic
West – Music school; Historic
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011 shows the property as suitable
for development in accordance with the Old Coppell Historic District as
outlined in the Old Coppell Master Plan.
DISCUSSION: This is a Minor Plat to be considered concurrently with the Planned Development
proposal to allow the sale of this property not previously platted. The applicant is
proposing to renovate the two buildings on Lot 1, Block A for Amcat Offices.
The City of Coppell plans to retain ownership of Lot 2, Block A to preserve the
ITEM # 7
Page 3 of 3
Historic Water Tank on site. A 12-foot wide maintenance and access easement is
proposed on Lot 1, Block A, for the purpose of maintaining the water tank. Staff
recommends approval with no outstanding conditions.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending approval of Lot 1 & 2, Block A, Old Town Water Tank/Office Addition with no
outstanding conditions.
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

cure such violation or breach within two (2) thirty (30) day notice periods after receipt of written
notice thereof, [by proceeding at law or in equity, against any person or persons violating or
attempting to violate any covenants or restrictions, to restrain violation, and failure to enforce

Agreement. The rights of City under this Restriction Agreement may not be waived or released
except pursuant to an amendment or termination approved in accordance with the provisions

conditions or restrictions as set forth herein, AMCAT, or subsequent owner, as the case may be,
shall file a written application for such change or amendment with City, which shall approve or
deny such application in whole or in part within thirty (30) days after receipt of such application.

executed by the Mayor is recorded in the Official Public Records in the office of the Dallas
County Clerk in accordance with this Section.

HISTORY: This property was developed with a two-story office building approximately three
years ago, and has been vacant since completion. Although several attempts to
occupy the building were undertaken, no contract for occupancy was ever
accomplished, hence, the request for this rezoning application.
ITEM # 5
Page 2 of 3
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is an improved, concrete, four-lane divided thoroughfare built to
standard, within a 90-foot right of way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: Commercial and Single-Family; Town Center (TC) and Planned Dev. 116-

South: Single family residential; (SF-7)
East: Single family residential; (SF-7)
West: Commercial; (PD-209-R4)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as suitable for urban
residential neighborhood and residential neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: As pointed out in the HISTORY section of our staff report, this building was
constructed some time ago, and has remained vacant since completion. Although
several attempts were made to occupy it, those efforts failed and the structure
remains with no tenants. We have been approached by the property owner who
has a potential tenant wishing to occupy the entire building with a day care
facility. As staff understands, this is a national company that looks for these types
of buildings and transforms them to day cares. We have been advised that this
company has over 160 facilities spread throughout the country. Although the
exterior of the building will remain intact, changes to the site plan include the
addition of a new, six-foot high TREX fence at the rear of the building enclosing
the play area, removal of eight parking spaces to be replaced with a poured-in-
place rubberized material within the requested fenced area for play space, new
curbing, a sign package, and construction of a trash bin. Generally we require a
circular drive for day care users, but that recommendation is handled on a case-
by-case basis. Therefore, we are very much interested in how this facility will
address that issue. Parking requirements are one parking space for each ten
students. In addition, the application indicates 20 staff positions (which generally
means 20 parking spaces), and with 183 student positions, that totals 38 parking
spaces. The plan shows 39 total spaces, and we have some concern that enough
parking is being provided. To quell that concern, the applicant has indicated that
the facility is used on a sliding arrival schedule. That schedule could modify our
concerns, but the applicant needs to explain how that arrival schedule actually
works—what determines number of children per time schedule, is the schedule
based upon age specific data, how and where children enter the building, what
happens if all parking spaces are taken, etc.
In that this use is generally compatible with the neighborhood, it would occupy an
existing building that has been vacant for years, does not conflict with the
Comprehensive Master Plan, and complies with our regulations relative to Site
Plan, parking requirements, and signage; staff can support this use with
conditions.
On January 19, 2012 the Planning Commission closed the public hearing and
continued this case to February 16 in order to give the applicant an
ITEM # 5
Page 3 of 3
opportunity to have a representative of The Learning Experience appear
before the Commission and explain how the parking, maneuvering and drop
off of children will work on this site.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions:
1. Agreement regarding how the traffic drop-off system works to insure no parking/circulation
problems.
2. A colored example of the logo
3. Show location of existing trash enclosure (dashed line will suffice)
4. Insure brick used on proposed trash enclosure matches brick on main building (state on Sheet A-2)
5. Dimension overall size of monument sign on Sheet A-2
6. Need as-builts from engineer prior to CO
7. Note: Planning Commission meeting is 1-19, not 1-9 on Sheet A-1
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

West: Single family detached residential homes; PD-95-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011 shows the property as suitable
for residential neighborhood uses.
DISCUSSION: This is an application by a home owner requesting a change to his
Planned Development zoning district by adding a 765 square foot garage
addition—roughly 30 feet wide by 25 feet deep--to the rear of his
existing house. A portion of that addition extends into a required yard
setback, hence, the request to amend the PD. The required setback is 20
feet, and this expansion would extend a portion of the garage into the
setback by 10 feet. In discussions with the applicant, we have been
advised the existing garage space will continue to be used for auto
storage, work on homeowner projects, etc. The new addition will be
used for additional storage of the owners’ vehicles, and being 30 feet
wide, could accommodate three cars. The new garage will be
constructed of brick similar, if not identical, to the existing brick used on
the residence. Also, the existing wood gables on the house will be
matched on the garage addition, and height of the addition will be 16.5
feet, same height as the existing house. The corner of the addition
requiring the PD amendment is 10 feet from an eight-foot high wooden
screening fence, the fence is adjacent to an alley to which this home
owner has no access, and the closest house across the property line is 35
feet away.
We have received comments from adjacent homeowners expressing
concern that this addition, if allowed, not turn into a garage offering
repair of vehicles that are not the owners. Such an activity is illegal, of
course, (running a business in a residential neighborhood). There has
also been discussion concerning noise from this property, and again, we
have noise standards that can address this concern. Staff has had
discussion with the applicant who understands the addition is to be used
for his personal use only. Assuming we receive no substantial
neighborhood opposition to this proposal, staff is comfortable
recommending approval of this request. To heighten comfort level in the
neighborhood, we have specifically recommended a condition be
included insuring no business activity occurs on the subject property. A
note or condition to that effect needs to be added to the submitted Site
Plan exhibit.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions:
1. Need a letter from Oncor allowing concrete paving over their easement.
2. A note being added to the SITE PLAN stating this addition is for the sole
purpose of adding a garage structure in a residential neighborhood for
occupant use only.

HISTORY: On November 14, 2006, Council approved a Site Plan on this tract to
allow a 9,300-square-foot retail building replacing a previously approved
gas station/convenience store. A Firestone auto repair garage was
completed in April of 2007 on the adjacent land. The building on the
subject property was completed in July of that year and has been vacant
since then. On October 13, 2009, Council approved a PD Amendment
and a replat which allowed Lot 4, Block A, to be subdivided into two lots
to allow the existing buildings to be on individual lots to permit separate
ownership. Since that time Zimmer has purchased this 9,300-square-foot

building, and is in the process of relocating its headquarters from
Richardson to this property.
TRANSPORTATION: State Highway 121 frontage road, directly to the north of this parcel,
contains three lanes east bound in a variable width right-of-way.
MacArthur Boulevard is a P6D Major thoroughfare built to standard with
a six-lane divided street contained within a 120-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:

Revision 2-Highway Commercial)
East-office development; City of Lewisville
West-Firestone; PD-199R4-HC (Planned Development 199 Revision 4-
Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011, shows the property as
suitable for Freeway Special District uses.
DISCUSSION: As discussed in the History Section, this building has been vacant since
it was constructed almost five years ago. Zimmer, a medical supply
company, has purchased this entire building and is in the process of
relocating its headquarters from the City of Richardson. Zimmer will
occupy 4,584 square feet, approximately one-half of the building, the
remainder of the building will be potential retail lease space.
Zimmer has 62.6 linear feet of frontage, allowing for a 62.6 square foot
sign. Based on the current Sign Ordinance, this would allow 50.1 square
feet of individually mounted letters (black or white) and a 12.5 square
foot blue logo. This request is for a 29.3 square foot sign, with a 20-
square-foot logo, which is 69 percent of the sign. All other occupants in
this retail center (Firestone and Bank of Texas) complied with the sign
ordinance, the signs being either black or white, and their logo does not
exceed the 20%. In the Vista Point office/tech park to the west, which
was a part of the original Planned Development, all the signs are black,
have individually mounted letters, with various logos.
While we welcome Zimmer to this community, there is no justification
to vary the Sign Ordinance, especially considering its visibility, being
located at the intersection of SH 121 and MacArthur Boulevard.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending DENIAL of this request.
