COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, shows this property being
developed as Freeway Special District which suggests commercial/retail
development.
DISCUSSION:
This is a rehash of a zoning request unanimously denied by Planning Commission
in February. The applicant appealed the case and the City Council unanimously
denied the case in June.This request is the same song, second verse. Same
developer, same owner, different name, same residential request, although with
less density. As recommended in the earlier case, we cannot support this case for
exactly the same reasons we expressed before. First, it ignores
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan which states Freeway Special District as the
appropriate use and has with every comprehensive land use plan we have ever
developed. Second, it proposes single-family residences that face a very busy
freewaynot conducive to a pleasing life style. Third, all are two-story
structures facing S.H. 121, exacerbating the negative livability of residences
facing a major freeway. As a side bar, all existing housing adjacent to S.H. 121
were limited to one-story in height, behind a screening wall wit
cover and required to side to the highway. Fourth, getting to this property from
the east necessitates travel through the existing Magnolia Park subdivision, a
concern expressed with the first case. Fifth, as stated in our first denial
recommendation, the presence of the S. H. 121 service road does not lend itself to
residential development. Sixth, as a reminder, when the property to the east of
this parcel was developed, an access drive was stubbed into this property to
accommodate anticipated compatible uses which were envisioned to
retail, commercial, as outlined in the Master Plan. The possibility of travelling
through a commercial area to get to a residential subdivision is just poor land use
planning, and we cannot recommend that access.
It is interesting to note that this developer has gone from a 28-lot subdivision to a
13-lot proposal on the same land area. Although this plan is more in keeping with
the adjacent subdivision, it still lacks a 75-foot wide average lot width as called
out in the residential portion of the original PDthis plan is all 70-foot wide lots;
this plan calls a 15-foot rear yard vs. 20 feet in the PD; the original PD required
eight-foot side yards, this proposal states six-foot side yards; a 35% coverage was
called out in the PD whereas this proposal calls for 60% coverage. Finally, the
presence of a one-way service road has not discouraged retail/commercial
development of the same roadway on the north side of S. H. 121, nor to the east of
this property. This is just the wrong use at the wrong location. Staff strongly
recommends denial of this request.
ITEM # 4
Page 2 of 3
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is again recommending DENIAL of this case for the numerous reasons stated above. It is the
wrong land use, it does not create a compatible use with the adjacent highway, ignores several
development guidelines of the original PD. In short, it ignores the Comprehensive Master Plana plan
that was adopted just over two years ago.

HISTORY
: There has been no recent subdivision activity on this parcel although a
preliminary plat was submitted in March and unanimously denied by Planning
Commission. There has been recent zoning/platting activity on the subject tract.
A Planned Development (PD-133) was approved for residential and retail
development in 1994. The residential portion (Magnolia Park) has been
completed, and the first phase of the retail including the strip center that faces
Denton Tap and the bank at the corner of Denton Tap and S.H. 121 were

DISCUSSION:
As stated in March when this applicant first applied for preliminary plat approval,
the proposal reflected by this plat runs counter to the Comprehensive Master Plan
and cannot be supported by staff as it violates several sound planning principles.
First and most important, it ignores the land use outlined in the Comprehensive
Plan which states Freeway Special District as the appropriate land use. Second, it
places homes facing a very busy freeway, ignoring the nuisance of freeway noise
and congestion. Third, the adjacency of the 121 service road does not lend itself
to residential development. Several other reasons to deny this request were
outlined in the zoning case which accompanies this plat approval request. In
short, this plat reflects a land use staff cannot support.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending DENIAL of this preliminary plat for the reasons stated above.

HISTORY
: In October of 2008, Council approved a change in zoning from SF-12 to PD-235-
O to allow construction of a two-story, 11,632-square-foot office building on
eight acres of property. This office parcel was a part of a larger 2.29-acre lot
which was zoned SF-12. The PD required a tree survey, construction of a left-
turn lane and a masonry screening wall to separate the office bu
proposed single-family home to be built west of the office on th
property. At that time the applicant planned to build the house, construct the
office building, provide a common driveway between the two and occupy each
structure with an opportunity to lease out part of the office building. Those plans
changed and in 2012 the same owner elected to rezone back to SF-12 and

removed the PD zoning. Currently there is a large single family
plus acres of property.
HISTORIC COMMENT
: We have no record of any historic significance attached to this property.
TRANSPORTATION
: Sandy Lake Road is a C4D, four-lane, concrete, divided improved roadway with a
median contained within an approximate 90-foot right-of-way.

West:

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, shows this property as suitable for
urban residential neighborhood uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a rather straight forward case in that a privacy decorat
constructed at the normal 30-foot front yard setback line when this house was first
constructed. That 30-foot setback is typically the maximum setback required in
an SF-12 zoning district. However, there is a provision within Zoning
Ordinance that states a building line, if greater than that specified in the zoning
district is established (in this case the established building
house is sited), then any structure must observe that setback. Although the
contractor abided by the minimum 30-foot front yard setback when he constructed
the decorative metal fence, he was in violation of the setback requirements
because the established building line of the house was considerably greater than
the normal 30-foot minimum. Therefore, the reason for this PD amendment is to
accommodate the owner of this property who would like to keep the technically
illegal front yard fence. Single Family-12 front yard setbacks are a minimum 30
feet behind the property line as stated above. This fence meets that requirement.
We support the owners position on this case.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, designates this area for Residential
Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION:
This property is one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels along Deforest
Road. This four-acre tract is 142 feet wide and almost 700 feet deep. When the
subdivisions were planned abutting to the east and west, it was anticipated that
this property would be developed for several single family lots.
multi-lot development, Stonewick Lane was required to be stubbed out from both
abutting subdivisions. However, given that only one home is being constructed,
and the extension of the road through this property is not required to serve this
parcel or the abutting subdivisions (stub outs can be used as turn-arounds if
necessary), there is no need to construct this street.
This home is proposed to be setback over 360 feet from Deforest Road; therefore
additional fire safety conditions are being included as part of the issuance of a
building permit. First, the home shall be equipped with a fully
sprinkler system. Second, they will be installing a four-foot personnel gate on
Stonewick Lane adjacent to the Inglenook Subdivision, and a 12-foot vehicle gate
on Stonewick Lane abutting the Prestwick development. The 12-foot drive will
connect to the main driveway and all driveways will be built to fire lane standards
(other than width).
Sec. 12-39-1. Creation of building
This Minor Plat fulfills the requirements of
site
of the Zoning Ordinance which states that No permit for the construction or
expansion of any building shall be issued until a building site is established by a
lot which is a part of an approved plat filed in the plat records of the appropriate
county. This plat also includes a waiver to the alley requirement and establishes
utility easements required to accommodate the extension of the water and sewer
lines.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, designates this area for Industrial
Special District.
DISCUSSION:
This requested site plan approval is for an 85,109 square foot office warehouse
building to be the future home of Titan Services. This company
from another facility in Coppell as well as a facility in the City of Grapevine.
They will occupy the 7,255 square foot office and the balance (77,854 sq. ft.) for
warehouse. They will initially employ 29, with a future employee count
anticipated to be a maximum of 40. There will be 70 parking spaces provided
with the initial development, with a potential for 41 additional parking spaces if
needed by future tenants. The loading area is along the southern end of the
building, and will be screened from Crestside Drive by the portion of the building
designated as Future Office B. In the event that the eight parking spaces within
this loading area are provided to serve the future office, it will reduce the number
of overhead doors available.
The building is proposed to be setback 30 feet from Crestside Drive with a
landscape buffer with 13 - 3 caliper Burr Oaks and Shumard Red
frontage. Ten-foot buffers with overstory trees are being provided along the north
and southern property lines. The rear of the building faces wes
setback 75 feet from the mutual property line with Middle School West. There
will be a 40-foot wide landscaped drainage area with several mature trees between
this development and the school facilities. It is the intent to preserve all eleven
trees within this area. This buffer area will be further enhanc
caliper Chinese Pistache trees planted approximately 50 feet on-
recommending that these trees be planted alternately with the existing trees on the
eastern edge of the school property to provide a visual screen.
Along the northern property line there is 15-foot drainage easement which was
established with the original development. Within this easement there is a 10 x
10 box culvert approximately two feet underground. It is recommended that the
parking spaces along this property line be reduced from 20 feet in depth to 17 feet
in depth and the landscape buffer area be increased from 10 feet to 13 feet to
accommodate this drainage structure. The trees also need to be revised from
overstory to ornamental which have less evasive roots.
The building elevations consist of off-white tilt-up panels, accented with amber
panels and a band of medium brown horizontal formliners (panels) accenting the
windows. The rear facade, adjacent to Coppell Middle School West will be the
tilt-up panels with several doors. No loading, outside storage or mechanical
equipment is anticipated along this elevation.
ITEM # 8

As noted in the History section, this property was part of the original Northlake
635 Business Park which was established in 1985. The original Final Plat only
dedicated rights-of-way and various easements which were filed via the plat and
private CC&Rs which were also filed for record. Therefore, a Minor Plat is
required for this property. However, pursuant to Section 212.0065 of the Local
Government Code, a Minor Plat may be administratively approved by the Director
of Planning if it involves four or fewer lots; fronts on a dedicated street; does not
require the creation of any new street and does not require the extension of
municipal facilities. This Minor Plat meets all of these criteria and therefore does
not need to be brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City
Council and qualifies for Planning Director approval after the Planning and
Zoning Commission approval of the site plan.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending Approval of Northlake 635 Business Park, Lot 4, Block D, Site Plan, subject to the
following conditions:
1.There may be additional comments upon detail engineering review.
2.Correct Site Data Table to indicate number of parking spaces in Required in Phase 1 to be 103
spaces and Total Parking Required to be 110 spaces.
3.Note that additional parking for Phase 2 will reduce the number of overhead doors.
4.Trees along the western property line shall be planted alternately with the existing trees on the
eastern edge of the school property to provide a visual screen.
5.The parking spaces along the northern property line be reduced from 20-foot depth to 17-foot
depth, the landscape buffer area be increased from 10 feet to 13 feet and the trees be revised
from overstory to ornamental.
6.Tree removal permit shall be required in the event any trees need to be removed.
7.Minor Plat approval by the Director of Planning.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, shows this property as residential
neighborhood which allows for semi-public uses such as schools. The Montessori
school/daycare and small-scale future retail building would be appropriate within
this land use designation.
DISCUSSION:
This proposed zoning change is to allow the construction of a 14,060-square-foot
daycare/Montessori school and a 2,400-square-foot future retail building on two
acres of property. The property is located on the south side of East Sandy Lake
Road east of the Barnes at Riverview retail/office buildings. Located at the
eastern gateway into Coppell on a primary image zone, it is surrounded by
residential to the south and east, assisted living to the north and retail/office to the
west. The Future Land Use Plan designates residential
neighborhood which allows for appropriately scaled public and semipublic uses
that are compatible to and complement the established proportions and building
height, mass, and form of nearby structures. The daycare/Montessori school was
reviewed under this premise and is supported by staff. Prior to construction of the
fed through the
Detail Planned Development process requiring both Planning & Zoning
Commission and City Council public hearings. Typically, a Special Use Permit
(SUP) is required for a variance to the stacking requirements sp
daycare facility, but because the previously approved plan was in the form of a
Planned Development, and a few PD Conditions are needed to accommodate the
proposal, the Planned Development zoning is most appropriate for this case.
According to the Zoning Ordinance, drives shall be designed to accommodate the
stacking of one motor vehicle for each ten students or children cared for by
establishment. The total maximum enrollment proposed is 200 students (includes
20-30 after school students); therefore, 20 stacking spaces would be required.
This request is to allow only four pick-up/drop-off stacking spaces in front of the
building and the remainder of stacking will be accounted for with 17 excess
parking spaces. One to two aare proposed to be
receiving the children at time of drop-off and bringing them out to the vehicle
upon pick-up to help expedite the traffic flow. Staff is comfortable with having a
greater number of parking and fewer stacking spaces and recommends granting
this exception. The
school which tend to create additional stacking needs.
One parking space per ten children is required per the onsite parking requirements
of the ordinance and this requirement is in addition to the 20 spaces already
required for stacking. Proposed are 37 parking spaces which exceed the 20
required for the daycare use. A 2,400 square foot retail building is
proposed to be constructed on the west and 12 parking spaces are proposed to
fulfill the one parking space per 200 square feet requirement. All and all, 49
parking spaces are proposed, 32 parking spaces are required and
will be used to offset the stacking space deficiency.
In order to make the proposal function as depicted, two PD Conditions are
requested as they relate to setbacks. The west side yard setback
is requested to be reduced from 30 feet to 20 feet. This is adjacent

to the Barnes at Riverview, a retail/office center which was granted a side yard
setback reduction with their development (from 30 feet to 12.5 feet). The two
developments are required to have mutual access and a shared dumpster via the
previous Planned Development zoning action. This agreement will carry forward
with this Planned Development request. Because the two developm
by side and linked via a drive and shared dumpster, staff is supportive of the side
yard setback reduction bringing the proposed retail closer to the existing retail.
The front yard setback of the Montessori school is requested to be reduced from
60 feet to 30 feet to allow the construction of a porte-cochere. Because the main
portion of the structure is setback the required 60 feet and the porte-cochere is the
only encroachment, staff can support the requested front yard se
The proposed landscape plan meets the requirements of the ordinance in both
landscape area (27,363 square feet required, 34,210 square feet provided) and
trees (52 required, 49 overstory & 12 accent trees provided). Two conditions
structure elevations shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of
Planning prior to permitting and construction. This is to ensure that it is
constructed of neutral colors and materials that complement the
visible from the right-of-way. The second condition relates to the proposed
fencing of the play areas. These shall be constructed of a black wrought iron or
decorative metal (no chain link).
The materials proposed to be used on the school are a buff color lueders stone on
the bottom and burgundy acme brick on the upper area separated by a lighter
brick soldier course. On the rear elevation and towards the rear of the building on
the side elevations, a desert tan brick is proposed to be used in place of the lueders
stone. The proposed canopy at the entry will have a stucco fascia (painted to
match the burgundy brick) with stone columns. There is a six-foot brick wall on
the south and east property lines that is depicted on the second
is proposed to be constructed of the burgundy acme brick with ca on
the columns.
The proposed building signage is depicted on the front of the canopy on the
elevation sheet. This requires a PD condition to be added to the proposal, becaus
per the sign section of the ordinance, signage is prohibited on canopies. Staff
recommends that the signage for the business be allowed on the c
limited to this area shown. There is a 40-square-foot monument sign proposed at
the entry to the site designed to match the building utilizing the same lueders
stone and stucco sign face with black pin mounted letters. It will be externally
illuminated and complies with the provisions of the ordinance fotwo acres
in size.
