C. HEARING DATE: July 11, 1995 LOCATION: On State Highway 121 North SIZE OF AREA: 63.141 acres CURRENT A (Agriculture) ZONING: REQUEST: PD (Planned Development) APPLICANT: Industrial Developments International Matt Goodwin (Applicant) (Engineer) 5430 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1600 Goodwin & Marshall, Inc. Dallas, TX 75240 6001 Bridge St., Ste. 100 (214) 663-9399 Fort Worth, TX 76112 (817) 429-4373 HISTORY: The City of Coppell annexed this tract of land in the late 1980's. A resulting overlap of jurisdictions with the City of Grapevine was resolved in February of 1994. There has been no previous zoning or platting history. TRANSPORTATION: State Highway 121 is a AA, four-lane divided freeway to be built in a 450' foot right-of-way. Item 5 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - City park; City of Grapevine South - Business Park District 'BP"; City of Grapevine East - vacant; Agriculture West - Single family residential "R-20"; City of Grapevine COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Plan did not show this particular tract of land in Coppell's city limits. DISCUSSION: An interlocal agreement between Grapevine and Coppell divides governmental responsibilities for the entire proposed development between the two jurisdictions (see attached summary). The developer requested and received Business Park zoning from the City of Grapevine several weeks ago. The purpose of the proposed Planned Development district is to establish zoning in Coppell which, insofar as possible, closely approximates the zoning in Grapevine. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Planned Development district as drafted and approval of the site plan and landscape plans, submitted with the Preliminary Plat (Agenda Item 6) as constituting an approved Detail Site Plan in accordance with Section 28 of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Zoning Change 2) Deny the Zoning Change 3) Modify the Zoning Change ATTACHMENTS: 1) Draft zoning district regulations 2) Interlocal agreement summary 3) Concept Plan Item 5 SUMlVlARY GRAPEVINE/COPPELL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT (Hunt Property/IDl Development) The agreement provides division of responsibility. Each city will provide certain services within the corporate limits of the other city and will not provide certain services within its own corporate limits. Coppell intends to provide first response for police and fire emergencies both in Grapevine and in Coppell. Grapevine will provide back-up. Grapevine will accept responsibility for all other services within both cities. It will provide and collect rates for water and sewer services; will issue all building permits, perform all inspections and collect those fees; and will inspect street construction to its standards and maintain all the streets. CoppeR, however, will review in advance any cost estimates it receives from Grapevine and, if it approves them, will reimburse Grapevine for street maintenance costs. The two cities will endeavor to zone the property within their respective jurisdictions in a manner that is compatible. Any incompatibility will be resolved by applying the more stringent standard of the two. Grapevine fiood plain requirements will apply in both cities, and a single subdivision plat will be filed for review and approval by both cities.
