MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kevin Richardson, Fire Department
Date: December 11, 2018
Re: City Council Work Session: Review FEMA SAFER Grant Award to the
CFD
2030: Sustainable City Government
Introduction:
Extensive growth and development experienced within the City of Coppell has led to a
Fire/Rescue/EMS model that no longer meets safe and effective emergency response
levels. The Coppell Fire Department is unable to meet the National Fire Protection
Association’s NFPA 1710, Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire
Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations.
For the past twenty-two (22) months, actions have been taken to address
Fire/Rescue/EMS service needs culminating in a formal Standards of Cover Study
conducted by Emergency Services Consultants International. On August 29, 2017, City
Council selected to move forward with implementing the addition of Fire Station #4,
relocation of Fire Station #1, and relocation of the Resource Storage Facility. A multi-
year plan was developed with specific milestones including the hiring of 8 FTE
Firefighters FY 2018-19 and additional 8 FTE Firefighters FY 2019-20 (16 total).
Analysis:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recently awarded the Coppell Fire
Department approximately $2.9 million as part of its Staffing for Adequate Fire &
Emergency Response (SAFER Grant program. This grant will allow the Fire Department
to expand its team as well as proceed with its four-year improvement plan — which
includes the development of a new fire station that will improve emergency services to
Coppell’s west side and help the City maintain its ISO Class 1 rating that reduces
insurance premiums for Coppell residents.
The SAFER Grant allows fire departments to increase the number of firefighters
available to service a city and improves upon their capabilities, response times, and
operational standards to better defend against fire-related hazards and other emergencies.
The grant award authorizes the CFD to hire 16 Firefighters beginning March 15, 2019 for
a 3-year salary supplement; Year 1=75%, Year 2=75%, Year 3=35%. The Grant period
does not coincide with the City of Coppell Fiscal Year and may result in loss of Grant
Funding.
Legal Review:
No legal review required.
Fiscal Impact:
Year 1 - $1,173.096.00 Federal Share
Year 2 - $1,173.096.00 Federal Share
Year 3 - $547,445.00 Federal Share
Total Federal Share $2,893,637
Recommendation:
The Coppell Fire Department recommends accepting the implementation schedule
associated with the Grant and move forward with a budget amendment to authorize the
hiring of 16 firefighters FY2018-19. The adopted budget along with the authorized Grant
Award will be sufficient and not require additional funding.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Through: Mike Land, City Manager
From: Traci E. Leach, Deputy City Manager
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Software Conversion for Court Case Management
2030: Sense of Community, Special Place to Live, Business Prosperity, Sustainable City
Government
Introduction:
The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss moving forward with the software conversion of the
court’s case management software. The conversion would be beneficial for a number of reasons:
• Allow the court to reach its goal of using automation to streamline processes and improve
efficiencies, which will help the department save time and money; and
• Improve the customer experience and save defendants money when utilizing the online
payment module; and
• Meet CJIS compliance standards; and
• Creates a unified Incode experience with the four cities currently utilizing NTECC
The conversion project will require the purchase of a new case management software. The staff
recommends purchasing Tyler Technologies’ Incode 10, along with all of the necessary interfaces
and applications needed. The total cost of the conversion ($217,727.29) will be split between two
fiscal years, as there are some maintenance and final interface costs that are paid once the software is
live, which will be next year.
Legal: None.
Fiscal Impact: A budget amendment of $161,198.29 must be approved by City Council to fund this
project for the current fiscal year. There is available money in the Court Technology Fund and the
Court’s Judicial Efficiency Fund to pay for this project.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the budget amendment for the software
conversion.

Reference: Volunteer Update
2030: Sense of Community: Goal #2, residents volunteer, contribute, and support
community events and organizations
Introduction:
In accordance with the 2030 sense of community plan objective, Staff has been
revamping the volunteer program city wide. This has been done to help ensure that the
City of Coppell’s volunteer program is as easy and accessible to the community as
possible, in addition to supporting and integrating with Allies in Community.
Actions:
To this end staff has carried out numerous steps to break down silos, make the application
process more customer friendly, and create more volunteer opportunities . Staff has made
great progress towards this goal by completing the following actions :
• Met with the City of Plano volunteer department to research best practices
• Met with all the departments that use volunteers for one-on-one meetings to find areas for
improvement in the volunteer process
• Formed a Volunteer Committee with members from every department that uses
volunteers
• Created the first city wide volunteer policy and handbook (currently being reviewed)
• Streamlined the application process so it is all online, with one standardized volunteer
application form for all departments (being tested internally before going live)
• Started a new volunteer program at the Animal Shelter in accordance with citizen
requests
• Made a master list of all current volunteers that can be viewed by every department
• Scheduled a volunteer software training in January
Next Steps:
The remaining items are projects that have been identified as a part of this process for
continued improvement.
• Be able to give background checks via driver’s license numbers to allow community
members who may not have Social Security numbers the ability to volunteer
• Create a quarterly new volunteer orientation
• Finalize the policy and handbook
• Go live with the new Laserfiche application form
• Complete integration with Allies in Community
• Launch the volunteer program at the animal shelter
Conclusion:
Staff has made a lot of progress on this project and continues to identify ways to improve
the volunteer process to make it easier, more rewarding, and more inclusive to the
community. Staff does this w hile also enhancing and streamlining operations on the cities
side to make volunteers as effective as possible.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of an Ordinance for PD-273R2-C to establish a Detail Site Plan for a
convenience store and gas pumps on 0.97 acres located at 890 S. Denton Tap Road and
authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
This request is to redevelop the site for a 2,991 square foot convenience store with a 3,096 square foot
canopy over 6 gas pump islands. A deceleration lane is being provided along northbound Denton Tap
and one driveway is being eliminated which will provide safer movements into this site.
Introduction:
The redevelopment of this corner property for a convenience store with gas pumps faces several
challenges to adhere to the Commercial District and Landscaping requirements, however the
redevelopment of this site will positively impact the aesthetics of this intersection and therefore is
supported.
To address the shortage in landscaped areas, the applicant is entering into a License Agreement with the
city to allow landscaping (ground cover and seasonal color) and maintenance of the 1,237 square foot of
city owned land at the corner of E. Belt Line and S. Denton Tap. Part of that approval would allow the
monument sign to be placed at the property line, instead of 10 feet behind the property line which would
be approximately 50 feet from the intersection. If this property is enhanced with ground cover and
seasonal color, it could be used to fulfill the landscaping requirement which would achieve the 30%
landscaping threshold.
Rather than window signage, the applicant is requesting signage on the gas canopy. Specifically, three -
9 square foot, 7-ELEVEN full color logo medallions are proposed on the canopy. Notes have been added
to the Site Plan to assure that the canopy lighting will be fully recessed, and compliance with the with
the regulations on Outside Storage and Display in the Zoning Ordinance.
Analysis:
On November 13, 2018 the City Council unanimously approved PD-273RC-C, 7-Eleven, the Planning
and Zoning’s outstanding conditions have been incorporated into the Ordinance, as appropriate.
2
On October 12, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL
of PD-273R2-C, 7-Eleven, the following conditions remain outstanding:
1. Additional engineering comments will be generated upon detail engineering plan review.
2. A tree removal permit is required prior to construction.
3. This property shall be replatted prior to the issuance of any engineering or building permits.
4. Entering into a license agreement with the City of Coppell to allow for the landscaping and
maintenance of the 1,237 square feet of land to achieve the 30% landscape requirement.
Legal Review:
The City Attorney reviewed this Ordinance
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:
The Planning Department recommended APPROVAL.

SetBacks:
1. Electromagnetic technology involves changing a magnetic
field so as to induce an electric current.
2. An electromagnetic field converts the mechanical energy
into electrical energy.
3. PWM uses this technology for their segment signs.
4. Power is only required to change the data displayed.
5. Inherent magnetic memory in each segment retains the
display indefinitely without power being applied.
6. The data on multiple displays can be quickly changed.
7. The light-reflecting segments provide excellent visibility for
a wide range of ambient light conditions.
8. Visibility increases with an increase in the ambient light level.
9. Characters are visible from very wide angles.
10. Each segment rotates on a stainless steel pivot for maximum
reliability.
1. Heat is a non-issue for electromagnetic signs.
2. In areas where segment signs are exposed to extreme
cold, additional heating is required.
Principles of Operation
1. The drawings LEFT show a rounded panel segment from
the top view.
2. To set a price, meaning to adjust the segments to reflect
the desired number, an electronic impulse to the coil
creates a magnetic field.
3. This magnetic field turns the segment in or out.
4. Each segment moves between the background and
display surface plate.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Suzanne Arnold, Chief Building Official
Date: December 4, 2018
Reference: Consider an Amendment to Ordinance Section 6-15-7 (Temporary Signs)
2030: Special Place to Live
Executive Summary:
The City is seeking to amend Chapter 6, Article 6-15, Section 6-15-7 (B) to repeal this subsection in
its entirety to eliminate reference to real estate signs and repeal City Sign Zones, and authorize the
Mayor to sign.
Introduction:
The proposed amendment is to remove misplaced and outdated content that is in conflict with other
Ordinances and current practice.
Analysis:
Section 6-15-7 covers Political Signs and Polling Places. Subsection (B), which the City is seeking
to repeal, covers Real Estate Signs, and is ill-suited for this section. Furthermore, the information
regarding real estate signs is outdated and has been replaced by content in Section 6 -15-6. The
references in Subsection (B) contradict content elsewhere in the Code of Ordinances, thus creating
obstacles to fair enforcement of the Ordinance as intended.
Legal Review:
The documents were reviewed by Bob Hager at NJDHS.

Fiscal Impact:

Recommendation:
Building Inspections recommends approval this Ordinance amending Chapter 6, Article 6-15, Section
6-15-7 (B).

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Reid, Director of Parks and Recreation
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of a purchase from Deere & Company, through Buyboard Contract
No. 529-17, for four (4) utility vehicles: two (2) John Deere 2030 Diesel ProGators
and two (2) John Deere HPX815E Diesel Gators , in the amount of $84,852.12, as
budgeted, and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.
2030: Sustainable City Government: Excellent and Well-Maintained City Infrastructure and
Facilities
General Information:
• 4 units to be replaced have reached the end of their service life.
• Funding is included in the FY 2018-19 budget.
• Contract pricing obtained through Buyboard cooperative purchasing program. Contract No.
529-17.
Introduction:
In an effort to operate a clean, efficient and reliable fleet, Fleet Services sets an initial life expectancy
on all vehicles and equipment introduced into the fleet. During its service life, each vehicle and piece
of equipment is subject to close monitoring of unit availability, operating cost, accumulated
miles/hours, condition, obsolescence and the ability to perform required tasks. Replacements are
based on the results of those observations.
Analysis:
The units being replaced have reached the point in their service life where it has been determined that
replacement is prudent. To reduce downtime, maximize efficiency and productivity and prov ide a
solid platform from which to operate, the units have been carefully selected with the Parks and
Recreation department and Fleet Services working closely together. Consequences of not replacing
these units include decreased vehicle and equipment availability, increased operating costs and
reduced service levels to our internal customers and to the community.

CASE NO.: PD-259R-SF-7/9, Blackberry Farm
P&Z HEARING DATE: July 19, 2018
C.C. HEARING DATE: August 14, 2018
STAFF REP.: Marcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Community Development/Planning
LOCATION: North side of Sandy Lake Road, 750 feet northeast of Starleaf Road
SIZE OF AREA: 54.8 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: PD-259-SF-7/9 (Planned Development-259-Single Family-7 & 9)
REQUEST: A zoning change to PD-259R-SF-7/9 (Planned Development-259 Revised -Single
Family-7 & 9), to permit the development of 74 single-family lots and nine (9)
common area lots.
APPLICANT: Blackberry Farms, LLC
David Hayes
Holmes Builders
225 State Highway 121, Suite 120
Coppell, Texas 75019
(214) 488-5200
Email: dhayes@theholmesbuilders.com
HISTORY: In early 1999, this applicant applied for rezoning from SF-12 to PD–SF-9 on 28.21
acres of this request area to develop 55 residential lots. At that time substantial
neighborhood opposition surfaced, staff had a number of concerns, and the
Planning Commission unanimously denied the request. The case was appealed to
Council and was denied by that body in March. The same applicant has acquired
additional land from Carrollton in 2012 (Carrollton has dis-annexed and Coppell
annexed the property), an adjacent property owner, and enlarged the request area
by 26.6 acres for a total of 54.8 acres.
In 2013 City Council approved PD-259-SF-7/9 for 82 single-family lots and 6
common areas subject to various conditions, including Flood Plain Study and a tree
mitigation fee of $125,000 being paid prior to construction. A detailed comparison
of the revised request and the current request is included in the staff analysis.
Preliminary Plats and Final Plats for this property were approved in 2014 and again
in 2016, all of which have expired.
ITEM # 4
Page 2 of 4
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is an improved, C4D/6, four-lane divided thoroughfare in a six-lane
right-of-way (110 feet).
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: vacant flood plain, City of Carrollton
South: St. Joseph’s Village; PD-114 (SF-7)
East: Single-family home; SF-12
West: landscape nursery; “R” Retail and Single Family; “SF-7”
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, shows this property as Residential
Neighborhood and Floodplain
DISCUSSION: As stated in the HISTORY section of this report, a PD for 55 lot single-family
development was denied 1999 a portion of this land area. There was substantial
neighborhood opposition as well as concerns from staff regarding emergency
access to the property. During 2012-13 this applicant enlarged the area of request
through the annexation from the City of Carrollton and acquiring additional land
from an adjacent property owner. The existing PD was approved for 82 lots, six
common area lots, and a significant list of PD Conditions.
This current request is similar to the existing PD, except that:
Number of lots has been reduced from 82 to74;
the common areas have increased from approximately 24 acres to 30 acres
to accommodate the drainage issues (6 to 9 common areas); and
this is proposed to be a two-phase request, Phase 1 including 54 lots and 8
common areas, Phase 2, 20 lots with one common area.
Most of the conditions relating to the requirement for flood and drainage
studies have been deleted, as the CLOMR has been approved by FEMA
and detail site and engineering plans have been revised to reflect the
recommendations, such as single-family lots not extending into the
floodplain areas, increased drainage areas which shall be maintained by the
HOA (not being part of the platted residential lots), the provision of a 10’
wide private drainage easement along a portion of the west property line,
etc. However, prior to the filing of the Final Plat for this property,
additional determination may be required in relation to the location of the
retaining walls and the overall maintenance of the drainage area.
The applicant is requesting an additional condition which allows for a
variance to the Erosion Hazard Setback Ordinance, which was adopted in
2015 after the original PD was established on this property. The
application’s rationale for a variance to this ordinance is as follows:
“The erosion hazard setback was implemented after this subdivision
was originally designed. With the original design of this subdivision,
there was a slope stability analysis conducted that was taken into
consideration with the design for the flood plain, retaining walls and
lot filling so that no homes would be located in slope failure zone.
That is one of the reasons the retaining walls are set back from the
top of creek banks by at least 30 feet. The exhibit shows the erosion
hazard setback to fall in the rear yards of some of the lots, but
ITEM # 4
Page 3 of 4
nothing greater than the rear yard setback of twenty feet. There is
no impact on the proposed homes.
Additional staff review of the Erosion Control Setback Exhibit prior to
filing the Final Plat of Phase One is included as PD Condition. Stream
bank erosion protection will require approval by the US Army Corps of
Engineers. No Final Plats may be filed or work shall commence prior to
that approval.
The following conditions will also be part of this amended PD:
o Homeowners Association shall be responsible to maintain the
stabilization along the creek bank of Denton Creek from erosion.
Each lot owner shall be notified and provide a hold harmless
agreement by separate instrument that the City and Developer are
not liable for future erosion of the creek bank, and
o The Homeowners Association shall be responsible to maintain the
storage basins/ponds being constructed with the development.
Other requested revisions to the PD Conditions, as established in the existing
ordinance, include the following:
o Deletion of the requirement for a 3-home separation between stucco homes
o Allowance for detached buildings in front yard – see discussion below
o Deletion of the option for rolled curbs
o Deletion of the Hike and Bike Trail (internal to the site)
o Revision of the bridge over the creek from dual to a single arch
o Elimination of the option for pedestrian easement connecting Blackberry
Farms to the residential subdivision to the west, as it appears that there
was not an agreement of the respective landowners.
Tree Mitigation
The original request included a detailed tree survey and mitigation plan, which
based on the ordinance at that time, and fees were determined to be in the range of
$600,000. In response to the applicant’s requested reduction in mitigation fees to
$600.00, City Council granted a mitigation fee of $125,000. This PD condition
shall be carried forward to this PD request.
Outstanding Issues
Entry Feature/Common Area Lot 2X
The current PD includes Detail Plans for the construction of entry features (stone
wall with signage and entry arches) and a 1.125-acre tract common area (Lot 2X),
which was envisioned to be a teaching laboratory—a mini-farm. Specifically, the
Detail Plan indicated a Farm House, Blackberry Patch, landscaping, circular drive
and limited parking, which was attached to the Ordinance as Exhibits “C-3 and C-
4”. Additionally, the existing PD contains the following condition:
The farm house at the subdivision entrance will not be used or occupied as
a residence or retail business, except occasional sales of seasonal botanical
gardening materials.
Staff is recommending that for clarity, these exhibits and conditions are made part
of this revised PD Ordinance and an additional condition be added that requires:
ITEM # 4
Page 4 of 4
The development of Lot 2X and the entry features be constructed prior to
the issuance of a building permit for the first home, other than a model
home.
Finally, along the north and east side of Lot 2X is the a 15’ wide paved private drive
which provides for emergency access to this subdivision. This additional private
drive was required given this development will only have one access point onto
Sandy Lake Road.
Structures in the Front Yard
There is an existing PD Condition which reads as follows:
“Detached buildings and hardscapes shall be permitted in front yard, but
must be behind the twenty-five (25) foot front building setback”.
Staff expressed concern about the implications of the implementation of this
condition, and upon re-submission the applicant provided the following wording.
“Hardscapes consisting of masonry, wood, stucco where home is stucco
and/or metal courtyard wingwalls and screening to a maximum height of
eight (8) feet shall be permitted in front yard, but must be behind the 25-
foot front yard setback”.
While conceptually staff could support some sort of PD condition allowing for
appropriately designed front yard fencing, additional clarification is needed as to
the purpose and intent of this condition, and (as previously requested) more details
of this concept. Staff requested pictures of some examples where this has been
built.
Overall, the proposal meets the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in that the
development is residential in nature, and reflects the land use contemplated by the
Plan, conditions of approval .
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the PD conditions, as revised as attached Exhibit
“A”, and the attachment of the Entry Feature/Common Area Lot 2X Exhibits.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of PD-296-LI, to approve a Detail Site Plan to allow an approximate
85,220 square foot office warehouse building.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
This property was originally part of two larger tracts that is located on the city limit line between Coppell
and Grapevine. The Fellowship Church retained the western portion of the tracts which are contiguous
with the church’s other properties and is also floodway. Samaritan’s Purse recently purchased the
property and plan to construct an 85,220 square foot office/warehouse building.
Introduction:
This proposal is to construct an 85,220-square foot office/warehouse building, which will be used as a
staging location for Operation Christmas Child, which sends shoe boxes filled with Christmas gifts to
children in less fortunate areas of the globe. This portion of the operation will see an influx of volunteers
come to this location in late November to assist in the packing and shipping of these boxes. This facility
will also be the headquarters and staging ground for North American Ministries, a domestic disaster relief
group that deploys to areas impacted by natural disasters. Approximately 77,000 sf will be used for
warehousing goods and the remaining 8,300 sf will be used for offices. Parking based on use requires a
total of 106 parking spaces, which this plan exceeds by providing 288 parking spaces, due to the
anticipated number of persons that will be occupying this facility, during peak times.
They are requesting several modifications to the landscape ordinances and there is a requested varianc e
to waive all of the tree mitigation fees, approximately $70,060. This number does not include trees
located in the building footprint ($42,000) which are exempted in Light Industrial district zoning. While
the organization listed is a 501(c)(3) entity per the engineer’s letter, this property is being used as an
office warehouse, and is not subject to the exception listed in Section 12 -34-2-6A of the zoning ordinance
per staff’s discussion with the City Attorney. The Planning and Zoning Commission were not in favor
of waiving the tree mitigation fees and staff cannot support the variance to this provision of the
Ordinance. If deemed appropriate, the granting of this variance would ultimately be the purview of the
City Council.
2
Analysis:
On November 15, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL
of PD-296-LI, Samaritan’s Purse, subject to the following conditions:
1. Additional comments may be generated upon detail engineering review and building permit.
2. All landscape areas shall be irrigated.
3. Tree mitigations fees shall be paid, and a tree removal permit shall be required prior to the
removal of any trees.
4. All signage must meet ordinance requirements.
5. Approve the following variances to the landscape ordinance:
a. To allow trees planted outside of the 15-ft landscape setback along Creekview Drive as
shown.
b. No screening shrubs along the west property line adjacent to the parking area.
c. To allow the existing 27 trees within and additional 9 trees just outside of the western
setback to account for the 36 required trees.
Legal Review:
This did not require city attorney review
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:
The Planning Department recommended Approval of PD-296-LI, Samaritan’s Purse, subject to the
conditions listed.

ITEM # 3
Page 2 of 4
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, indicates this property as Industrial
Special District.
DISCUSSION: A Plat for this property is a companion item on this agenda. The site is heavily treed, and
a 24-inch high-pressure gas line is located along the front of the property. Samaritan’s
Purse recently purchased the property and plan to construct an 85,220 square foot
office/warehouse building.
Site Plan
This proposal is to construct an 85,220-square foot office/warehouse building, which will
be used as a staging location for Operation Christmas Child, which sends shoe boxes filled
with Christmas gifts to children in less fortunate areas of the globe. This portion of the
operation will see an influx of volunteers come to this location in late November to assist
in the packing and shipping of these boxes. This facility will also be the headquarters and
staging ground for North American Ministries, a domestic disaster relief group that deploys
to areas impacted by natural disasters. Approximately 77,000 sf will be used for
warehousing goods and the remaining 8,300 sf will be used for offices. Parking based on
use requires a total of 106 parking spaces, which this plan exceeds by providing 288
parking spaces, due to the anticipated number of persons that will be occupying this
facility, during peak times. In addition to the car parking, a truck court area will be
provided at both ends of the building, with additional truck staging and parking area
interior to the building. Access to this site will be provided from three proposed driveways
on Creekview Drive. These ten acres is somewhat rectangular in nature, while Creekview
Drive curves before it reaches the northern portion of the site. The building fronts
Creekview Drive, while the majority of the car parking is located on the northern portion
of the site, mainly out of view from the street. The western portion of the site bounds the
floodplain and floodway area of the Cottonwood Branch Creek. This area of the site is to
remain mostly undisturbed and will require a 20-ft Erosion Hazard Setback.
Landscaping & Screening
Due to some of the existing physical limitations on and abutting the site, several
landscaping modification exceptions are being requested and a variance to waive to the
tree mitigation fees is also being requested.
Modifications Requested:
a) Trees planted outside of the 15-ft landscape setback along Creekview Drive.
Due to the existing 30-ft wide gas line easement, no trees are allowed to be planted
within the easement. There will be grass planted in this area. The trees in this
instance are proposed to be planted at the edge of the easement, making the area a
35-ft grassy area with a five-foot area for the trees and shrubs outside of the gas
line. Staff has no objection to this request.
b) No screening shrubs along the west property line adjacent to the parking area.
ITEM # 3
Page 3 of 4
Typically, shrubs are planted to screen headlights from the adjacent property. In
this instance there is a floodplain area approximately 500-ft in width that sits
between the next portion of developable area. In addition, there is a grade drop also
along this area of approximately 8-ft into the floodway which is also heavily treed
and vegetative. Staff has no objection to this request.
c) Perimeter screening along the west property line.
As mentioned previously, the western property line of this site abuts a floodway
and floodplain area. They are proposing to save 27 existing trees within the ten feet
and an additional nine trees exist nine trees just outside of the setback. Staff has no
objection to this request.
Variance Requested:
a) To waive the all of the tree mitigation fees, approximately $70,060 required for
the removal of trees.
The tree survey and mitigation calculations determined that approximately $70,060
in fees would be required for the removal of approximately 400 caliper inches. This
number does not include trees located in the building footprint ($42,000) which are
exempted in Light Industrial district zoning. While the organization listed is a
501(c)(3) entity per the engineer’s letter, this property is being used as an office
warehouse, and is not subject to the exception listed in Section 12-34-2-6A of the
zoning ordinance. Only City Council can waive the tree mitigation fees.
Elevations & Signage
The architectural character of this building is similar to other office warehouse buildings
constructed of tilt-wall concrete buildings throughout the LI areas. The main color is an
earthtone with darker accent columns that provide architectural relief along the long wall.
Windows and a glass storefront area also provide light and architectural relief. There is a
wall sign proposed above the main public entrance and a monument sign proposed on-site.
Neither sign appears to be illuminated. Staff will require that all signage meet city
ordinance requirements.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending approval PD-296-LI, subject to the following PD conditions:
1. Additional comments may be generated upon detail engineering review and building permit.

RE: Samaritan's Purse I 1300 Creekview Drive
Dear Mayor and Council,
I am delighted to represent Samaritan's Purse in their zoning case before you next week, a
ministry my family began supporting over twenty years ago. If you are not already familiar with
this group and their relief work around the world, I hope you will be more excited about their
prospective facilities in Coppell after looking at the enclosed materials. Because they do not have
a real estate department, I was hired to shepherd them through the development process and you
are probably not surprised I recommended Coppell as the best location.
A friend of mine works for Franklin Graham who heads this ministry, by coincidence Franklin
was eating dinner last April at Hard Eight and contacted my friend to see if he knew a real estate
broker in the Dallas market who could find a property in a nice city like Coppell. Soon I was
working to identify prospective warehouse properties for sale but there were none available in
areas that offered DFW Airport access; hotels and restaurants nearby and safety for volunteers.
The search then became a development project where we considered several sites in other cities.
Despite the difficulties and added expense of developing the Creekview Drive property, it was by
far the best fit for the use. The seller of the property was Fellowship Church and they were very
excited to have this project adjacent to their campus.
Samaritan's Purse is engaged in disaster relief globally year-round, but it is most recognized for
Operation Christmas Child shoebox distribution in over 100 countries since it began in 1993.
OCC underwent tremendous growth in 1995 when Franklin Graham distributed shoeboxes filled
with Christmas gifts to children in Bosnia. OCC has since distributed 157 million shoebox gifts to
refugee and impoverished children.
Anyone can fill a shoebox with items like dolls; toothbrushes; a bar of soap; stuffed animals;
crayons; toys and the like. These boxes are first collected at churches, then sent to a Samaritan's
Purse warehouse for processing and shipment to a needy child. Some 12 million shoeboxes will
be distributed before this Christmas, approximately 1 million of those will be processed at the
rented temporary warehouse collection center in Dallas this year.
Should Council approve the zoning case, the proposed use of the Coppell warehouse is primarily
to house Operation Christmas Child. Beginning the third week of November through the week of
Christmas, volunteers from around the country will be at the site from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
inspecting, sorting, supplementing and packaging shoeboxes for shipment by truck or sea
container. Because volunteers are leaving during the evening, the safety of Coppell was an
important factor in the site selection process.
OCC volunteers must be at least thirteen years old, many of the shoebox packers are local church
youth groups. Some volunteers travel by air and spend an entire week donating their time, so the
close proximity to the airport and growing number of hotels and restaurants in Coppell made this
site especially desirable. With your consent of the zoning case, they expect a number of Coppell
churches to participate next year.
The Coppell site would also house North American Ministries Disaster Relief supplies and
vehicles to serve the central United States. Samaritan's Purse responds to natural disasters
throughout the United States and coordinates relief efforts abroad. They are still rebuilding homes
damaged by Hurricane Harvey in the Houston area. This ministry is rebuilding homes in Puerto
Rico, South Carolina and Florida as well.
You may recall the physician from Fort Worth who was serving in a Liberian hospital when he
himself contracted Ebola in 2014. That was Dr. Kent Brantly, volunteering in a Samaritan's Purse
hospital. There are at least forty medical mission hospitals operated by Samaritan's Purse in
Africa, Asia and South America. Samaritan's Purse volunteers are constructing churches, schools
and hospitals throughout the Middle East and Africa, including rebuilding churches in Iraq.
All of this work is performed by paid ministry staff or volunteers. Funding for Samaritan's Purse
comes from private donors like me. Enclosed is a 2018 Christmas Catalog with suggested gifts, it
is remarkable what this ministry can accomplish with even small donations. In my own family,
we sometimes substitute giving each other a gift for one of these items instead.
Among the variances requested in the zoning case is the estimated tree mitigation fee of $70,060.
I asked Mindi Hurley to confer with the City Attorney and it was determined that this ministry is
not a church by definition and is subject to the tree preservation ordinance. I'm requesting that
Council consider waiving the fee for a number of reasons.
This ministry is funded entirely by donations, typically from church members. Local churches are
the backbone of Operation Christmas Child, it could not grow as it has without the church. All of
the literature produced by Samaritan's Purse clearly promotes the message of Christ. This
ministry is doing nothing but the work of the church, there is no commercial activity taking place.
The workers involved in disaster relief are typically church volunteers. The voice of Christ may
be heard from a church platform: the work of Christ would take place at this proposed Coppell
facility.
This site was analyzed by two previous industrial developers who declined to purchase it because
the site coverage ratio was so low. The site also falls over sixteen feet from the existing curb
elevation on Creekview Drive to the west property line, so a retaining wall and fill are necessary
for any development of the site. I did my best to save the trees on the site where possible,
including a specimen cedar elm tree in the north parking area where we designed the perimeter
parking with an enlarged tree well to preserve it. Given the existing slope of the lot, it is not
developable without significant tree losses.
While the costs of development in this market are very high presently, Samaritan's Purse has
never sold a real estate asset since its inception in 1970 and did not want to postpone starting
operations here. It is not likely that waiving the mitigation fee would ever be a benefit to a
subsequent (commercial) user/purchaser.
On behalf of Samaritan's Purse, I'm requesting the fee waiver because of what this ministry can
do with those dollars. A commercial interest would simply absorb those saved funds, but this
group will use those dollars to aid the helpless.
The property will only house a permanent staff of twenty-five, so it is not a big job-creator for the
City. The economic impact would mostly be sales tax and hotel tax revenues driven by the
thousands of volunteers using those services during Operation Christmas Child. The City can
expect favorable press annually and at times when major disasters occur and relief efforts are
organized here. Hopefully Coppell would never require any disaster services.
I truly appreciate your time considering this request and hope you are pleased to see an
organization like this in Coppell. Please know that I would never intend to assign my own beliefs
upon others, so no matter what Council decides on this matter it has no bearing on my respect for
you or my appreciation for the opportunities I've had in this City. You can obviously tell I'm
passionate about what they do at Samaritan's Purse and am honored to be a part of their
development team.
Rather than take up time presenting this in the Council meeting, I wanted to provide this
information now to give you time to know the reasoning behind the request; look at the
Samaritan's Purse website or consider questions you have about this ministry coming to Coppell.
Sincerely yours,

taxes assessed and due for the Tangible Personal Property (or portion thereof) after any Annual
BPP Grant has been paid for such Tax Year, the Annual BPP Grant for such Tax Year shall be
adjusted (increased or decreased as the case may be) accordingly on the date of payment of the
next Annual BPP Grant, or within thirty (30) business days after such determination in the event
no further Annual BPP Grant is due under the Agreement.

that the amount of any Annual BPP Grant paid by City to Lessee was incorrect, Lessee shall, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notification thereof from City specifying the amount by
which such Annual BPP Grant exceeded the correct amount to which Lessee was entitled (together
with such records, reports and other information necessary to support such determination), pay

Grant was less than the correct amount to which Lessee was entitled (together with such records,

From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of a Resolution approving a Tax Abatement Agreement between
the City of Coppell and Norwex USA, Inc., and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
Norwex USA, Inc. opened a second facility in Coppell in 2018. This Tax Abatement Agreement is
for that facility. The 5-year agreement is for a 90% abatement on the business personal property
located at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.
Introduction:
In 1994, Norwex began in Norway. The company produced personal care and cleaning products with
a radically reduced amount of chemicals. In 1995, Norwex entered the home party market in Norway
and grew dramatically. In 1999, Norwex expanded to Canada and the United Sta tes, and by 2010,
they were selling products worldwide.
The company grew rapidly and outgrew their former space in Addison. After a long search, Norwex
decided to move their U.S. Headquarters and distribution center to 800 W. Bethel. They are
occupying 143,000 square feet of space at this building. In 2018, Norwex’s sister company, EMP
Manufacturing, leased approximately 212,980 square feet of space at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.
Norwex subleases approximately 150,000 square feet of that space.
Analysis:
Reinvestment Zone 91 was created in 2014. This 5-year, 90% abatement will be applied to the
business personal property for Norwex USA, Inc. at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.

shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and payable not later than
thirty (30) days after a notice of termination is provided. The City shall have all remedies for the
collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of delinquent property
tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule. The computation of
the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full Taxable Value of the
Tangible Personal Property without tax abatement for the years in which tax abatement hereunder was
received by Lessee, as determined by the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax rate of the years in
question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated damages shall incur penalties
as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence to accrue after expiration of the thirty (30) day
payment period.

2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
Norwex USA, Inc. opened a second facility in Coppell in 2018. This Tax Abatement Agreement is
for that facility. The 5-year agreement is for a 90% abatement on the business personal property
located at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.
Introduction:
In 1994, Norwex began in Norway. The company produced personal care and cleaning products with
a radically reduced amount of chemicals. In 1995, Norwex entered the home party market in Norway
and grew dramatically. In 1999, Norwex expanded to Canada and the United Sta tes, and by 2010,
they were selling products worldwide.
The company grew rapidly and outgrew their former space in Addison. After a long search, Norwex
decided to move their U.S. Headquarters and distribution center to 800 W. Bethel. They are
occupying 143,000 square feet of space at this building. In 2018, Norwex’s sister company, EMP
Manufacturing, leased approximately 212,980 square feet of space at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.
Norwex subleases approximately 150,000 square feet of that space.
EMP Manufacturing houses the research and manufacturing institute for the parent company,
Norwex. Norwex is able to control the product development process in-house from start to finish.
This allows more freedom for the company to create and be assured that quality and ingredients are
all to Norwex’s standard. The space is green-certified and houses manufacturing, raw materials,
product storage and the Research Institute.

Analysis:
Reinvestment Zone 91 was created in 2014. This 5-year, 90% abatement will be applied to the
business personal property for EMP Manufacturing Inc. located at 220 N. Freeport Parkway.

time period may be extended, the City, at its sole option, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement

collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of delinquent property
tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule. The computation of
the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full Taxable Value of the
Tangible Personal Property without tax abatement for the years in which tax abatement hereunder was
received by Lessee, as determined by the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax rate of the years in
question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated damages shall incur penalties
as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence to accrue after expiration of the thirty (30) day
payment period.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of two (2) Resolutions approving an Amended and Restated Tax
Abatement Agreements between the City of Coppell and Prologis LP, and
authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Introduction:
City Council held a Public Hearing and created Reinvestment Zone No. 91 on May 27, 2014. This
reinvestment zone was created for Prologis Park 121, which was proposed to consist of five shell
industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet. Prologis created a masterplan
for the park in 2014 that has since changed. Prologis has changed the size and capital investment of
some of the original buildings, and they have added two additional buildings. The timeline for
development of the buildings were also pushed back. These amended and restated tax abatement
agreements address Buildings 1 and 2. These building have decreased slightly in size, and the dates
for Commencement and Completion of Construction have been extended. Building 1 was reduced
in size from 107,640 square feet to 98,381 square feet. Building 2 was reduced in size from
148,800 square feet to 142,080 square feet. Both buildings are scheduled to begin construction in
2019.
Analysis:
The amended and restated abatement agreements reduce the size requirements listed in the original
tax abatement agreements. The previous terms, both of which were a 5-year, 75% abatement on real
property, were unchanged. These agreements replace the original agreements that were approved
in 2014.
Legal Review:
The documents were drafted and reviewed by Pete Smith.

as such time period may be extended, the City, at its sole option, shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice to the Owner.
5.4 Upon termination of this Agreement by City, all tax abated as a result of this
Agreement, shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and payable

remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of
delinquent property tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule.
The computation of the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full
Taxable Value of the Improvements without tax abatement for the years in which tax abatement
hereunder was received by the Owner, as determined by the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax
rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated

Article V
Default: Recapture of Tax Revenue
5.1 In the event: (i) Owner fails to cause Commencement and/or Completion of
Construction of the Improvements in accordance with this Agreement or in accordance with
applicable State or local laws, codes or regulations; (ii) has delinquent ad valorem or sales taxes owed
to the City (provided Owner retains its right to timely and properly protest such taxes or assessment);
(iii) has an event of Bankruptcy or Insolvency; or (iv) breaches any of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, or a Related Agreement, then Owner, after the expiration of the notice and cure
periods described below, shall be in default of this Agreement. As liquidated damages in the event
of such default, the Owner shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay to the City all taxes which
otherwise would have been paid by the Owner to the City without benefit of a tax abatement, for the
property the subject of this Agreement at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as determined by
Section 33.01 of the Tax Code, as amended, but without penalty. The Parties acknowledge that actual
damages in the event of default termination would be speculative and difficult to determine. The
Parties further agree that any abated tax, including interest, as a result of this Agreement, shall be
recoverable against the Owner, its successors and assigns and shall constitute a tax lien against the
Premises, and shall become due, owing and shall be paid to the City within thirty (30) days after

5.2 Upon breach by Owner of any of the obligations under this Agreement, the City shall
notify Owner in writing, which shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice in which to cure
any such default. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and the Owner
has diligently pursued such remedies as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default, then the
City may extend the period in which the default must be cured.
5.3 If the Owner fails to cure the default within the time provided as specified above or,
as such time period may be extended, the City, at its sole option, shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice to the Owner.
5.4 Upon termination of this Agreement by City, all tax abated as a result of this
Agreement, shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and payable
not later than thirty (30) days after a notice of termination is provided. The City shall have all
remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of
delinquent property tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule.
The computation of the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full
Taxable Value of the Improvements without tax abatement for the years in which tax abatement
hereunder was received by the Owner, as determined by the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax
rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated
damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence to accrue after
expiration of the thirty (30) day payment period.
Article VI

It shall be the responsibility of the Owner, pursuant to the Tax Code, to file an annual
exemption application form for the Improvements with the Chief Appraiser for the Appraisal District
(or its successor) in which the eligible taxable property has situs. A copy of the respective exemption
application shall be submitted to the City upon request.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of a Resolution approving the First Amendment to Tax
Abatement Agreement between the City of Coppell and Prologis LP, and authorizing
the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Introduction:
City Council held a Public Hearing and created Reinvestment Zone No. 91 on May 27, 2014. This
reinvestment zone was created for Prologis Park 121, which was proposed to consist of five shell
industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet. Prologis created a masterplan for
the park in 2014 that has since changed. Prologis has changed the size and capital investment of some
of the original buildings, and they have added two additional buildings. The timeline for development
of the buildings were also pushed back. This First Amendment to Tax Abatement Agreement is for
Building 3. This agreement increases the square footage and the capital investment for this building,
and the dates for Commencement and Completion of Construction have been extended. Building 3
was originally planned to be 360,000 square feet. That size has increased to 424,080 square feet. The
construction of this building was completed in 2018, which was later than originally planned.
Analysis:
The first amendment to the original agreement increases the square footage of the building and revised
the construction date to match the actual construction. The previous terms, a 5-year, 75% abatement
on real property, was unchanged. This agreement is an amendment to the existing agreement that
was approved in 2014.
Legal Review:
The documents were drafted and reviewed by Pete Smith.

Construction of the Improvements to occur within on or before December 1, 2018, and subject to

Article V
Default: Recapture of Tax Revenue
5.1 In the event: (i) Owner fails to cause Commencement and/or Completion of

applicable State or local laws, codes or regulations; (ii) has delinquent ad valorem or sales taxes owed
to the City (provided Owner retains its right to timely and properly protest such taxes or assessment);

otherwise would have been paid by the Owner to the City without benefit of a tax abatement, for the
property the subject of this Agreement at the statutory rate for delinquent taxes as determined by

damages in the event of default termination would be speculative and difficult to determine. The
Parties further agree that any abated tax, including interest, as a result of this Agreement, shall be
recoverable against the Owner, its successors and assigns and shall constitute a tax lien against the
Premises, and shall become due, owing and shall be paid to the City within thirty (30) days after

Page 6 Tax Abatement Agreement

has diligently pursued such remedies as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such default, then the
City may extend the period in which the default must be cured.
5.3 If the Owner fails to cure the default within the time provided as specified above or,
as such time period may be extended, the City, at its sole option, shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice to the Owner.
5.4 Upon termination of this Agreement by City, all tax abated as a result of this
Agreement, shall become a debt to the City as liquidated damages, and shall become due and payable
not later than thirty (30) days after a notice of termination is provided. The City shall have all
remedies for the collection of the abated tax provided generally in the Tax Code for the collection of
delinquent property tax. The City at its sole discretion has the option to provide a repayment schedule.
The computation of the abated tax for the purposes of the Agreement shall be based upon the full
Taxable Value of the Improvements without tax abatement for the years in which tax abatement
hereunder was received by the Owner, as determined by the Appraisal District, multiplied by the tax
rate of the years in question, as calculated by the City Tax Assessor-Collector. The liquidated
damages shall incur penalties as provided for delinquent taxes and shall commence to accrue after
expiration of the thirty (30) day payment period.
Article VI

shall survive termination of this Agreement.

or other appropriate agency or court of competent jurisdiction that the Leased
Premises is not a place of business resulting in Sales and Use Taxes being due the

the State of Texas seeks to invalidate the Leased Premises as a place of business
where Sales and Use Tax was properly remitted to the State of Texas (the

contesting the Comptroller Challenge and Lessee promptly informs City in writing
of such Lessee actions and with copies of all documents and information related
thereto. In the event the Comptroller Challenge is not resolved favorably to City

place of business where the Sales and Use Tax was properly remitted to the State
of Texas, and Sales and Use Tax Receipts previously paid or remitted to City
relating to the Leased Premises are reversed and required to be repaid to the State
of Texas, then the obligation to pay the Sales Tax Grants shall terminate and Lessee

Comptroller Challenge, which refund shall be paid to City within sixty (60) days
of the date that the Comptroller Challenge required City to repay Sales and Use Tax

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: December 11, 2018
Reference: Consider approval of a Resolution approving a letter of support for the creation of a
Foreign Trade Zone to be located at 410 N. Freeport Parkway in Coppell, Texas, and
authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
ATP Science is requesting a letter of support from the City of Coppell for the creation of a Foreign
Trade Zone at 410 N. Freeport Parkway. This letter of support is just one step in the process of
application for ATP Science to receive Foreign Trade Zone status.
Introduction:
ATP Science is an Australian company looking to locate a US Headquarters and manufacturing
facility at 410 N. Freeport Parkway in Coppell. The company specializes in the development and
manufacturing of health supplements. ATP Science will be leasing approximately 21,000 square feet
initially with an option to expand up to 42,000 square feet of space. The company will ultimately
have 74 employees, $4,500,000 in capital investment and over $3,000,000 in sales annually.
The company will be shipping in materials from Australia. The creation of a Foreign Trade Zone
would be beneficial to their operations.
Analysis:
A Foreign Trade Zone is a geographical area located in the United States in or near a U.S. Customs
port of entry, where foreign and domestic merchandise are considered a part of international
commerce and not within U.S. Customs territory, merchandise may be brought into a foreign trade
zone without formal U.S. Customs entry, without payment of Custom duties or excised taxes, and
without being subject to import limitations or restrictions. If the final product is exported from the
United States, the U.S. Customs duties are excise taxes are not levied. Materials imported are also
exempt from ad valorem taxes if they are imported from outside the United States, held in a zone and
then exported either in their original form or altered. A foreign trade zone or sub-zone may be
established as an economic development incentive.
2
Foreign Trade Zones are not approved by municipalities; however, requesting property owners must
receive a letter of support from all impacted taxing jurisdictions as part of their application process.
Therefore, this letter of support is just one step in the application process for ATP Science.
Legal Review:
Agenda item did not require legal review.
