NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COPPELL, TEXAS
SECTION1.
That the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Coppell, Texas,
duly passed by the governing body of the City of Coppell, Texas, as heretofore amended, be, and
the same is hereby amended by amending the Code of Ordinances, by adding new zoning
districts and development regulations to Chapter 12, Article 26. “Mixed Use Districts”,which
shall read as follows:
“ARTICLE 26 – MXD - MIXED USE DISTRICT REGULATIONS
Sec. 12-26-0. - General purpose and description.
The City of Coppell recognizes that land is a precious, non-renewable resource, and
that conventional zoning tends to foster a pattern of development that excessively
separates land uses and results in the requirement of extensive vehicular travel. The
Coppell 2030 – A
purpose of the Mixed Use Districts as envisioned in the
1
TM 65921
Comprehensive Master Plan, ,
codified as Chapter 12A of the Code of Ordinances
is to provide a development that:
1.Provides areas of mixed-use development consisting of both neighborhood
serving and community serving commercial, retail and office uses and
medium to high density urban residential dwellings and includes
appropriate synergies among uses, such that many users are afforded
multiple use opportunities in order to promote the desired environmental
benefits; and
2.Provides for the physical and social integration of citizens diverse in age
and lifestyle; and
3.Encourages the development of mixed-use projects that are safe,
comfortable and pedestrian friendly, while promoting the protection of
environmentally sensitive areas; and
4.Encourages vertical mixed-use integration, particularly involving
residential uses.
5.Provides flexibility in the siting and design of new developments and
redevelopment to anticipate changes in the marketplace while establishing
human-scaled residential and nonresidential buildings.
Two Mixed Use Districts are hereby being established (MXD-1 and MXD-2). The
applicability is dependent upon the location and land use adjacency issues.
Specifically, MXD-1 is intended for areas which have low density residential
adjacency (SF-Single Family, 2F-2-Two Family and TH-Townhouse) and include
substantial height and setback restrictions, while MXD-2 is intended along the
transit, freeway and boulevard corridors with no low density residential adjacency.
Illustration 12-26-1
2
TM 65921
These development standards are intended to provide a specific framework to fulfill
the vision of the Comprehensive Plan, yet broad enough to allow adjustments to be
appropriate for the parcel being developed, given the existing infrastructure and
surrounding development patterns.
In applying the regulations set forth in this article all figures are enforceable
provisions of the code and all illustrations are for illustrative purposes. They should
not be considered for any other purposes and shall serve only as a guideline.
Sec. 12-26-1. - Use Regulations.
Two Mixed Use Districts (MXD-1 and 2) are hereby established. Uses in the Mixed
Use Districts generally include retail, office, commercial, restaurant and higher
density residential uses. The non-residential uses in the MXD-1 district shall
generally be compact and are intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods,
while MXD-2 shall encourage a broader range of uses to take advantage of the high
intensity corridors.
The MXD-1 district is intended to accommodate residential uses on upper floors
providing a work/live environment. Residential density is typically greater than 8
dwelling units per acre; however, the overall density of the project will be
compatible with the adjacent development and zoning patterns.
The MXD-2 district is more intensive development in terms of permitted uses,
height and overall density than MXD-1, and generally can be found along major
thoroughfares and where there is no residential adjacency or where a substantial
buffer exists between this district and lower intensity developments (i.e. single
family and low-density town homes) .
A building or premise in the Mixed Use Districts shall be used only for the
following purposes:
1.Any use permitted in the "MF-1" and “MF-2” Districts, in addition:
3
TM 65921
(A)Residential density in the MXD-1 District shall be generally 8 to 16
dwelling units per acre.
(B)Residential Density in the MXD-2 district shall generally be greater
than 16 dwelling units per acre.
(C)Minimum dwelling unit size:
1)One Bedroom, minimum 700 square feet
2)Two Bedrooms, minimum 900 square feet
3)Three Bedrooms, minimum 1,100 square feet.
(D)Density Bonus – Open Space/Gathering Areas – The size of the units
may be reduced below the minimum as prescribed above if the
reduction in unit size is compensated on a square foot per square foot
basis in open space/gathering areas. These open space/gathering areas
are in addition to the 20% of the gross land area as required inSec. 12-
26-4.5 Open space/civic/gathering areasof this Ordinance.
1)The maximum overall reduction the overall in size of units
is 10%, however, no unit shall be less than:
a.One Bedroom, minimum 650 square feet
b.Two Bedrooms, minimum 800 square feet
c.Three Bedrooms, minimum 1,000 square feet.
2. Non-residential uses shall be permitted based on the uses permitted in the
“O”, “R”, “C” and” HC” Districts as specified in Chapter 12, Zoning,
Articles 20, 21, 22 and 23 of the Code of Ordinances
(A)Prohibited uses shall be those as listed in Sec. 12-22-2. Non-permitted
uses in the “HC” District.
(B)Uses permitted by special use permit, Article 12-30 shall require an
SUP in the MXD-1 and MXD-2 Districts.
3. A portion of the ground floor of residential structures is encouraged to be
devoted to non-residential uses. Non-residential uses should typically be
provided at a ratio at least 50% in the MXD-1 District and at least 40% in the
MXD-2 District.
4
TM 65921
(A)This ratio is based on the linear ground floor frontage of structures
facing and adjacent to a “Boulevard”, a “Freeway” or at the corner of
two “Avenues” as defined in the “Coppell 2030 Transportation Plan”
of Chapter 12A, Coppell 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan.,
(B)Structured parking shall not count towards the ratio of non-residential
uses.
(C)Additional non-residential uses may be provided on any floor, as
appropriate.
(D)Where non-residential uses are included on the first floor, there shall be
a minimum depth of at least 30 feet; have clear glass windows
comprising no less than 60% of the ground floor façade and interior
ceiling “clear” heights no less than 12 feet.
Illustration 12-26-2
Sec. 12-26-2. - Height Regulations.
The height of the structures shall be:
1.MXD-1 - The maximum heights of buildings shall be as defined in Section
12-42-1, and shall be as follows:
(A)All MXD-1 developments within 200 feet of existing Single
Family (SF), Two Family-9 (2F-9) or Townhouse (TH) uses shall be
the same as the height as allowed in the Single Family (SF), Two
Family-9 (2F-9) or Townhouse (TH) zoning districts.
5
TM 65921
(B)This setback shall be measured from the existing structure to the
proposed structure irrespective of the location of the zoning district
boundary line.
(C)Additional height may be permitted for buildings which are
beyond the 200 foot zone in accordance with a 1:3 residential
proximity slope. The height can be increased one foot for every three
linear feet over the height permitted in the adjacent zoning district, for
a maximum of 45 feet, but in no event shall any development in MXD-
1 be more than three levels above ground.
Figure 12-26-1
2.MXD-2 - The maximum height of buildings shall be as defined in Section
12-42-1, and shall generally be 55 feet.
(A)Additional height may be appropriate in this district depending on
the adjacent land uses, airport overlay and traffic analysis. The
maximum height shall be 75 feet.
(B)Portions of the structure which exceed 55 feet in height shall be
subject to additional step-back requirements. Building step-back is the
setting back of the front building facade away from the street at a
specific floor or height in order to maintain an interesting streetscape.
6
TM 65921
(C)Additional building code and/or requirements are applicable when
buildings exceed 55 feet in height.
3.Levels- As used in this Article, level shall mean:
That portion of a building included between the upper surface of a
floor and the upper surface of the floor or roof next above. It is
measured as the verticle distance from top to top of two successive
tiers of beams or finished floor surfaces and, for the topmost story,
from the top of the floor finish to the top of the ceiling joists from
where there is not a ceiling, to the top of the roof rafters.

To address the purpose and intent of the objectives of the Coppell 2030 Comprehensive
Master Plan, as codified in Chapter 12A, Comprehensive Land Use Plan, of the Code of
Ordinances, developments in Mixed Use Districts should be of an “Architectural
character (which) is compatible with the style, proportions, period, materials and colors
of adjacent single family neighborhoods, but may vary to a greater degree in proximity to
higher intensity development areas”. The architectural standards are intended to provide
detailed, human-scale design, while affording flexibility to use a variety of building
styles.. The graphics provided with each standard are intended to show examples of how
to comply. Other building styles and designs may be used to comply, so long as they are
consistent with the text of this section. All buildings that are subject to this section shall
comply with the following standards
