COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
office, showroom, light industrial and warehousing uses.
DISCUSSION: Conceptual PD's are difficult to evaluate because detailed plana are not
included in their submittal. This applicant has provided staff with
additional information that prompts us to generally support this proposal.
This is a request to master plan over 140 acres with potential office,
showroom and warehouse uses. As such, it warrants a close review of the
overall development plan. For the most part, staff is supportive of this
proposal--it includes greater that normal setbacks along Coppell Road next
to residential development; it proposes a minimum six foot high solid
masonry fence adjacent to the Loch Lane subdivision and additional green
space setbacks along that area; detention ponds are proposed to address the
drainage issue; and dedicated right of way is provided to extend the
circulation system and improve access to Wagon Wheel Park. All in all,
this is a good plan for the eventual development of over 2 million square
feet of industrial-type space.
As a concept plan, it is recognized that changes can occur as the detail plan
is developed. Where one building footprint is shown, perhaps two
buildings will eventually be built; detention ponds may become retention
ponds (which from an aesthetic view are more desirable); detailed
landscaping may change minimally, but overall, the plan being submitted
here is what the applicant envisions for this area at build out.
The plan is commendable in that circulation to the area does not impact
our residential neighborhoods, we get the extension of Freeport Parkway,
Wagon Wheel Park is made more accessible, and the landscaped islands
makes an attractive statement. That coupled with the fact that land which
has had no significant taxable value in the past will now become
productive land for this community adds to the attractiveness of this
proposal.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
As a concept, this proposal meets the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. As a plan of what this area can become, it is an exciting
concept. However, there are several conditions of approval which warrant
staff comment. Among them:
-show brick paver bands at Freeport/Bethel Road
-required landscape setbacks on west property line are 10 feet, not
5 feet
-justify interior landscape calculations for buildings 5/6
Item # 10

-verify permanent landscaping requirement (shown on one plan as
1,120,129 square feet)
-insure Landscape Tabulations and Sheet A.1 calculations track
with one another (no building #1 data on Sheet A.1 for example)
-no building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued for
any portion of the property until a Detail Site Plan is approved after
a public hearing by the Planning Commission and City Council
-among other requirements, a color board will be required before a
Detail PD will be reviewed
-a tree survey and tree preservation reparation will be required
before development is allowed to occur on the property
-Fire Department regulations will be addressed during plan review
process
-address Departmental comments
