EXHIBIT A
Purpose:
To provide areas for neighborhood serving retail,
restaurant, office and service uses, as well as upper story
residential units above commercial uses and medium
density attached and detached residential uses
(typically 8-10 dwelling units per acre). Such areas are
compatible with and ser,,e the daily shopping, dining
and service needs of nearby lower density residential
neighborhoods.
Uses:
The Old Coppell Master Plan adopted in May
2002 identifies specific physical improvements and
design guidelines that due to the historic nature of
the area may differ somewhat from other mixed use
centers in Coppell. The Old Coppell area may also
integrate small -lot single-family detatched dwellings
and have exterior building materials and
architectural design intended to capture the rural
style representative of North Texas in the first half of
the twentieth century. The Master Plan serves as the
guiding document for the district. Additional detail
is also provided in Chapter 4.
Compatible Zoning Districts:
(H)*, PD
*Modifications to these districts are required to
incorporate appropriate site design standards as
described in the guidelines section.
40 COPPELL 2030 - A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN
REVISED JULY 2016
EXHIBIT A
Old Coppell has a unique character and "sense of place"
with an identifiable center and defined "people places"
for residents, shoppers, workers and visitors to gather and
interact. These areas provide opportunities for medium
density attached housing options.
Connectivity
Such areas have a system of interconnected streets with
pedestrian (sidewalks) and bicycle facilities and
streetscape amenities. Thoroughfares are typically
boulevards, avenues, and residential streets with wide
sidewalks and an urban character.
Civic and Gathering Spaces
Formal and informal areas for outdoor gatherings such as
pocket parks and plazas. The sidewalk width is increased
when adjacent to on -street parking to create a "transition
zone" of pedestrian amenities including street trees,
pedestrian lighting, and outdoor seating.
Setbacks
Continuous, defined street edge is maintained, with
building frontages placed at or in close proximity to the
sidewalk.
Building Form
Most buildings are attached, with their front facades
aligned, and generally 1-3 stories in height. Buildings
may be taller in close proximity to major street
intersections, or when upper floors include a "stepback"
from the ground plane of lower floors. Prominent
intersections serve as focal points with buildings
distinguished from others by enhanced architectural
design features. Building heights, intensity of use and
densities decrease as development moves closer to adjacent
established residential neighborhoods.
Compatibility with Surrounding Development
Architectural character is compatible with the style, scale,
proportions, materials, and colors of surrounding
neighborhoods, but may vary to a greater degree when
in proximity area of a different form or style.
Street Edge Orientation
Building walls and entries are oriented towards the primary
street. The street level has a transparent quality, with
passing pedestrians and vehicles able to see activity within
the building.
Parking
Public parking is provided on -street. Off-street parking is
provided in shared parking facilities to the rear of buildings
in surface lots or in parking structures. Surface parking
is typically enclosed on at least three sides. Residential
garages are accessed from a rear alley.
COPPELL 2030 - A COMPREHENSNE MASTER PLAN
Outdoor gathering places may include a Green, Square,
or Plaut.
_w
The street facade and sidewalks are comfortable for
pedestrians.
Building setbacks define the street edge and allow for wide
sidewalks with pedestrian amenities. Parking is provided
both on street and in shared parking facilities to the rear of
buildings.
Dettached residential dwellings allow residents nearby
access to retail and employment. Buildings are compatible
with surrounding neighborhoods. Garages are accessed
from a rear alley.

EXHIBIT A
Neighborhood Center Retail
(T-5 Urban Center Zone)
Purpose:
To provide opportunities for neighborhood serving
retail, restaurant and service uses. Such areas are
compatible with and serve the daily shopping, dining
and service needs of nearby lower density
residential neighborhoods.
Uses:
Retail, restaurants, office, civic and institutional
primarily intended to serve nearby neighborhoods.
While many of the areas are surrounded by low
density single family residences and currently
developed with conventional strip centers and free
standing office and commercial uses, when these
properties are redeveloped, key elements should
include neighborhood integration in terms of
architectural compatibility and pedestrian
accessibility. The neighborhood center should have a
unique character and "sense of place" with an
identifiable center and defined "people places" for
residents, shoppers, workers and visitors to gather
and interact, such as common open space, street
furniture, public art areas, etc.

are in front of the building, unless appropriate
provisions are incorporated to provide a safe,
landscaped pedestrian pathway from the sidewalk to the
buildings.
Building Form

aligned, and generally 1-3 stories in height. Buildings
may be taller in close proximity to a major street
intersection or when upper floors include a "step back"

Mixed -Use Community Center
Without Residential
(T-6 Urban Core Zone)
Purpose:
To provide areas for mixed-use non-residential
development consisting of both neighborhood and
community serving commercial, retail, and office
uses. Such areas are typically located in close
proximity to major transportation corridors and

regional destinations offering unique retail,
restaurant and culture designation with more urban
lifestyle than available in other areas of the
community.
Uses:
Retail, restaurant, office, entertainment, civic and
institutional uses, non-residential multi -story
buildings may include large office and workplace
components. Due to the nature of development
within this category as a community or regional
destination, high volumes of pedestrians, transit
riders, and vehicles must be accommodated. This
zone is not intended for single -story conventional
commercial strip centers, freestanding pad sites,
and intensive uses requiring outdoor display or

Future Land Use Pian
The Coppell 2030 Future Land Use Plan is based on the
principles of the transect, with each land use category
corresponding with a transect zone.
The Future Land Use Plan serves as the framework for
future development and redevelopment decisions in
Coppell. It is intended to guide appropriate land use,
character, scale and intensity of future development.
Future Land Use
The land use designations are for planning purposes
and do not represent a change to existing zoning
or development regulations. Efforts to implement
the principles of the transect in Coppell must be
accompanied by development code revisions. The
following pages describe each transect zone and the
corresponding land use categories.
