Hooptown-CS001116 (2) CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO.: PD-189R, HOOPTOWN P & Z HEARING DATE: November 16, 2000 C.C. HEARING DATE: December 12, 2000 LOCATION: Along the north side of Beltline Road, approximately 1,200 feet east of the intersection of Beltline and Denton Tap Roads. SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 17.761 acres of property (Lot 1, Block A Hooptown). CURRENT ZONING: PD-189-LI (Planned Development-189, Light Industrial) REQUEST: Zoning change request to amend PD-189 to allow the enlargement of the lot area for the construction of a 109,000 square foot facility containing 10 basketball court and related activities. APPLICANT: Applicant: Engineer: Hooptown, LLC Stock & Associates 708 S. College St., Ste. 209 425 N. New Ballas, Ste. 165 McKinney, Texas 75069 St. Lois, Missouri 63141 (214) 544-2300 (314) 432-8100 Fax: (214) 544-2302 Fax: (314) 432-8171 HISTORY: On October 10, 2000, City Council approved a Preliminary Plat and zoning change from Light Industrial to PD-189 to allow the development of an indoor basketball/recreation facility on 17.063 acres. As approved by City Council on October 10, 2000, the proposed site plan removed 892' of protected trees. In accordance with the zoning ordinance, only 50% landscape credit could be given due to the removal of 100% of the existing trees. The landscape credit accounted for 446' of removed trees; requiting monetary reparation of $100 per caliper tach for the remaining 446" of removed trees. As indicated by the owner/developer, the tree mitigation dramatically impacted the anticipated cost of the project. Item#4 TRANSPORTATION: East Belt Line Road is proposed to be a P6D, six- lane divided major thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right-of-way. Construction is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter this year. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- Raikoad, CreekviewAddition; "SF-9-PD" South- North Lake, City of Dallas East - TXU Electric & Gas Right-of-Way, vacant; "LI" Light Industrial West - Vacant, Shake & Shingle; "LI" Light Industrial COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses DISCUSSION: The purpose of this request is to revise the property line between Lots 1 & 2 of Block A of the Hooptown Development. The property line between Lots 1 & 2, as shown on the approved plan, is a straight line extending fi.om the fi.ont to the rear property lines (See attached Approved PD Plan). Due to extensive tree mitigation costs associated with the development of Lot 1, the applicant proposes to extend the land area of LOt 1 further west to include additional trees that were previously located off-site. The revision will transfer .70 of an acre fi.om Lot 2 to LOt 1. LOt 1 will be enlarged to 17.761 acres and Lot 2 will be decreased to 9.302 acres. It is staff's intention to maintain a traditionally shaped Lot 2, while providing a natural buffer along the rear of the property. The applicant has worked with staff to create an acceptable solution to the re-design of the shared property line between Lots 1 and 2. While staff does not encourage the intentional design of non-traditional lots to reduce tree mitigation costs, the extension of Lot 1 behind Lot 2 will provide a perpetual natural landscape buffer between the residential properties to the north and any future uses on Lot 2. Therefore, although somewhat unusual in shape, in this particular case, staff can support the request to revise the property areas. On October 14, 2000, a brush fire occurred on the subject property, destroying a significant number of trees; many which were to be preserved. The attached tree survey reflects the damage caused by the fire. The additional land area for Lot 1, coupled with provision of additional trees to be planted around the building, brings the number of preserved trees to an adequate level, equalizing the tree mitigation costs. Item#4 RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed amendment, subject to the following condition: 1) Revise inconsistencies among lot areas shown on plan sheets. 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. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Approved PD Plan (App'd 10-10-2000) 2) Site Plan 3) Existing Tree/Vegetation Plan 4) Existing Tree Plan (Detail) 5) Revised PD Plan Item # 4 Inl.dNT l .,.o...,...--...,...,.,,....
