STAFF REPORT
CASE: COPPELL CENTER FOR THE ARTS
AMENDED SITE PLAN
P & Z HEARING DATE: June 15, 2000
C.C. HEARING DATE: July 11, 2000
LOCATION: West side of Moore Road; south of Sandy Lake Road.
SIZE OF AREA: Approximately one acre of property.
CURRENT ZONING: SF-12 (Single Family-12)
REQUEST: Site Plan amendment to modify the number of handicap parking
spaces from 4 to 2.
APPLICANT: Applicant:
City of Coppell
255 Parkway Boulevard
Coppell, TX 75019
972-462-0022
HISTORY: This property was adapted from a fire station to the City's Cultural
Arts facility in 1998.
TRANSPORTATION: Moore Road is a C2U undivided street contained within a 60-foot
right of way and is built to standard.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Single-family residemial; SF-12
South - Austin Elementary School; SF-12
East - Single-family residences; PD SF-7
West - Austin Elementary School; SF-12
Item # 13
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
public/institutional uses.
DISCUSSION: This request is an effort to rectify a difference between an approved plan
for the redevelopment of the Fire station into an Arts Facility, and what is
on the ground today. Basically, the approved plan showed four
handicapped parking places being placed south of the building. Upon
actual construction, however, two handicapped spaces were provided.
This discrepancy was created when we received comments from the Texas
Dept. of Licensing and Regulations relative to our compliance with the
American Disability Act requirements. During the State review it was
noted that based upon the size/activity of the building, two ADA parking
spaces would meet federal guidelines (see attached letter, bottom of pg. 3).
In an attempt to be fiscally responsible, the t~vo State required parking
spaces were constructed, the two additional spaces were omitted. It has
recently been brought to the City's attention that the approved site plan is
not what is on the ground today, hence, this request to amend the original
proposal.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is comfortable with the revisions as proposed. We have had no
complaints regarding the number of provided handicap spaces, the State
has approved a plan with two spaces, the two spaces currently provided
meet ADA guidelines, and the addition of two additional spaces would be
costly to the City and reduce the overall number of parking spaces being
provided at the Arts Center.
Staff recommends approval of the site plan amendment
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.

1) Approved Site Plan
2) Revised Site Plan for Handicapped Parking
