Quik Trip Near LBJ
By Jean Murph
A zoning change for a pro-
posed Quik Trip service station
near the intersection of S. Belt
Line and I -635 (LBJ) will be con-
sidered by the Coppell Planning
& Zoning Commission this week.
For the second time, City staff
is recommending denial of a re-
quest for rezoning for a service
station in that area, based on
concern about land use at the
entrance to the city.
"We don't not want this to set
the tone" for other development
as you enter the city," said City
Planner Marcie Diamond
Wednesday.
A RaceTrac service station,
proposed for the west side of S.
Belt Line in the same area, was
denied in 2008, based on land use
concerns.
Proposed is an eight - island,
16 -pump service station with a
7,100- square -foot canopy and a
4,900- square -foot convenience
store on 2.03 acres at the north-
east corner of S. Belt Line Road
and the extension of Dividend
Drive. The extension of Divi-
dend Drive, north of Hackberry
Road and south of the proposed
Cypress Waters development, is
still to be built.
The station would operate 24
hours a day, seven days a week,
according to staff information.
The zoning change request is
from Agriculture to Planned
Development- -Revi sed -High-
way Commercial. The devel-
oper, represented by J.D.
Dudley, also requested approval
of a detailed site plan.
