retail/medical/restaurant uses, and the we. stem 2.7 acres for a day
care building and a child development facility.

feet of paving in each direction, contained within 110-120 feet of

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single family development; PD-129, SF-9
South- undeveloped; "C" Commercial
East - Comerica Bank; "TC" Town Center
West -single family development; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
retail and commercial uses.
DISCUSSION:
This request would allow a 2,009 square foot coffee house in the
Town Center West Shopping Center (The Market at Town
Center) at the corner of Denton Tap Blvd., and West Town
Center Blvd. This lease will be located at the southern-most lease
space in this building. The approved site plan for this shopping
center indicates 127 parking spaces for this 13,393 square foot
retail building. This 2,005 square foot restaurant will require 21
parking spaces. There appears to be sufficient parking for most
of this retail building to support restaurant uses.
This is the same CC's Coffee House as recently approved in
Coppell Crossing at Beltline and MacArthur. There will be no
cooking on site, the food service being limited to coffee, pasties
and quiches. The preparation will utilize various coffee machines
and a microwave. The seating capacity is 52. The requested hours
of operation are from 5:30 a.m. until midnight, 7 days a week.
Per Section 29-4.3(B)ii of the Zoning Ordinance, attached signs for
buildings and leaseholds with multiple facades, are permitted to
have a maximum aggregate effective area of two square feet for
every linear foot of frontage (on a public right-of-way), with a
maximum of one square foot of sign for every linear foot of facade.
CC's will have 24' 6" of frontage on Denton Tap Road, therefore
the maximum square footage for all attached signage combined is
two times 24' 6" or 49 square footage of signage for this lease
space. In addition, when PD 178R was established the attached
signage criteria was approved, which specifies materials, colors
and fonts of signage. It also states that written approval of the logo
is required.
The colors, materials, and lack of raceway are all in compliance
with the signage regulations as established in the PD. The
requested signage on Denton Tap Road is 28.56 square feet to
include the logo and the words "coffee house". However, only
24'6" of frontage exists, therefore this sign must be reduced to
Item # 6
24'6" of effective area. On the side (southern) elevation, the
signage is proposed to be a 19.5 square foot logo. This sign could
be enlarged to 24'6" and still be in compliance with the sign
regulations. The applicant has also provided the written approval
from the property owner allowing the inclusion of a logo.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:

subject to the following conditions:
