HISTORY: According to a letter issued by TNRCC (now TCEQ) in 2001, soil contamination
from a leaking subsurface hydrocarbon storage tank was found at this site,
corrective action was taken and the case was closed. In November 2006, Council
approved a Site Plan and Replat to allow construction of two retail buildings
totaling 17,000 square feet on Lot 9C. The buildings were constructed and have
remained unoccupied since. In 2014, an interior finish out permit was issued for
the building which fronts on South Belt Line. On February 11, 2015, a new permit
was issued for minor renovations of this space by a new owner. This is anticipated
to be completed in the near future and a C.O. will be issued for the new owner. The
building to the northeast remains vacant and no tenant finish -out permits have been
issued.
HISTORIC COMMENT: We have found nothing of historic significance attached to this property.
TRANSPORTATION: East Beltline & South Beltline Roads are both P6Ds, six -lane, divided
thoroughfares built to standard within 120 -foot rights-of-way.

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:

South — office and vacant; C (Commercial)
East - vacant; City of Dallas
West - vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, lists this property as suitable for
mixed use neighborhood center.
DISCUSSION: Site Plan:
This is a fairly simple request. The existing property was developed under straight
retail zoning. It contained two buildings totaling approximately 17,000 square feet
on one lot. The purpose of this PD is to divide the property in two, allowing for
separate ownership. The applicant is proposing two additional parking spaces to
be constructed in the future if needed to fulfill the requirements at build -out. With
these two spaces included, the parking requirements would be met for a full medical
office use in each building (one parking space per 175 square feet building area).
The parking is shared between the buildings and a cross parking agreement has
been provided.
With this separation and through the property analysis, certain requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance need exceptions. The side yard setbacks are listed as conditions
of the PD. Required side setbacks are 30 feet and the property that will be addressed
from on E. Belt Line Road will require a side yard setback from the mutual lot line
created, as this dimension will only be 22.5 feet. The height of the allowable
monument signs are technically measured to the peak of the sign; four feet being
the maximum. The existing signs measure five feet in height and this is listed as
another PD Condition.
Landscaping:
An exception to the perimeter requirements is needed due to the division of the
property at the mutual lot line and existing conditions (7.8 feet perimeter on west
side of Lot 9C2 between property line and parking lot). Currently, the total
landscape area provided is 30% of the total combined area of the site. When the
properties are divided, the landscaping is unequally distributed. The northern lot
Lot 9C2) has 19,690 square feet (35% landscape area) and the southern lot (Lot
9C1) has 11,746 square feet (21% landscape area). This shall be included as a PD
Condition, as 30% is the minimum allowed under the Landscaping Section of the
Zoning Ordinance. There are a total of 33 additional trees proposed to be planted
to accommodate those that are dead or missing from the site. According to the
Streetscape Plan of the Subdivision Ordinance, Cedar Elms should be the dominant
street tree along both South and East Belt Line Roads and this is listed as a condition
of approval. All and all, this is an existing site that needs some attention. Staff
believes that the upgrade in landscaping and the potential occupancy of each facility
as a medical office is a benefit to this major intersection. Staff is recommending
approval of this request subject to the conditions listed below.
