HEARING DATE: September 12, 1995 LOCATION: Northwest corner of Sandy Lake Road and MacArthur Boulevard SIZE OF AREA: 7.04 acres CURRENT C and C-S.U.P. (Commercial and Commercial, Special Use Permit) ZONING: APPLICANT: Owner: Engineer: Kroger Co. JBM Engineers and Planners, Inc. 100 Kroger Drive 2630 West Freeway, Suite 100 Keller TX 76248 Fort Worth TX 76102 (817) 337-2050 (817) 429-7560 (817) 337-2058 (817) 429-9322 Represented by: Represented by: Jeffrey R. Krueger Barry L. Hudson HISTORY: Triland Investment Group requested the C (Commercial) zoning district for an 11.0355-acre site prior to 1985. In 1985 a Special Use Permit was granted for a 49,074-square-foot Kroger store within a l15,169-square-foot retail center on the 11.0355 acres. Also in 1985 a final plat was approved subdividing the tract into three lots and dedicating 0.5103 acres for street right-of-way. This reduced the site to 10.5252 acres. In October of 1993 the City reclassified 3.575 acres of the western portion of the original 11.0355 acres to SF-7 (Single-Family Residential). In October of 1994 the City approved a replat of the most eastern lot (Lot 3) into two lots (Lots 3A & 3B) and a site plan for Lot 3A showing an 8,000-square-foot day care facility to be call Lakeside Village Academy. In April of 1995 the City approved a replat of Lots 3A and 3B to make Lot 3A larger by reducing the size of Lot 3B. Item 9 TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a 4-lane divided thoroughfare built in a 110-foot r.o.w, shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare; Sandy Lake Road is a 2-lane road shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C4D/6, four-lane divided thoroughfare to be built in a 110-foot r.o.w capable of accommodating a six- lane divided thoroughfare. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - existing single-family homes and vacant lots; PD-125-SF-7 South - existing single-family; TH-1 East - existing commercial uses and vacant land; C West - existing single-family homes; SF-7 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be utilized for commercial uses. DISCUSSION: The replat provides required fire lanes, easements, accommodations for adequate deceleration from major thoroughfares at driveway entrances and adequate visibility for patrons to exit the site and re-enter traffic on the thoroughfares. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the replat, found it to be in compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance and, therefore, recommends approval. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Replat 2) Disapproval the Replat 3) Modify the Replat ATrACHMENTS: 1) Final Plat and Replat 2) Site Plan 3) Landscape Plan Item 9 CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO: S-1098R, LAKESIDE VILLAGE, PHASE II P & Z HEARING DATE: August 17, 1995 C.C.

In 1985 a Special Use Permit was granted for a 49,074-square-foot Kroger store within a l lS,169-square-foot retail center on the 11.0355 acres. Also in 1985 a final plat was approved subdividing the tract into three lots and dedicating 0.5103 acres for street right-of-way. This reduced the site to 10.5252 acres. In October of 1993 the City reclassified 3.575 acres of the western portion of the original 11.0355 acres to SF-7 (Single-Family Residential). Item 8 In October of 1994 the City approved a replat of the most eastern lot (Lot 3) into two lots (Lots 3A & 3B) and a site plan for Lot 3A showing an 8,000-square-foot day care facility to be call Lakeside Village Academy.

TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a 4-lane divided thoroughfare within a 110-foot r.o.w, shown on the thoroughfare plan as a P6D, six- lane divided thoroughfare; Sandy Lake Road is 2-lane road shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C4D/6, four-lane divided thoroughfare to be built in a 110-foot r.o.w. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - existing single-family homes and vacant lots; PD-125-SF-7 South - existing single-family; TH-1 East - existing commercial uses and vacant land; C West - existing single-family homes; SF-7 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows this area to be utilized for commercial uses. DISCUSSION: In the 10 years that have elapsed since the first approval of a Special Use Permit for a Kroger food store on this site, design concepts have changed. Grocery stores are less frequently serving as anchors within strip shopping centers and more frequently appearing as freestanding structures accommodating tenants within, such as banks, restaurants, or camera/film/video sales and services. Kroger's current request for a Special Use Permit illustrates this trend. The store is proposed to accommodate a small area for food service and a bank. The building, therefore, is 10,000 square feet larger than the 49,000-square-foot facility approved in 1985. The 7-acre site, however, will have total retail space of approximatelyl5,000 square feet less than that previously shown on the same 7-acre area. The building is oriented and located similarly to the previous plan, although approximately 25 feet more distant from the north property line. With the conversion of 36% of the original site to residential uses on the western side, the reduction of retail space by almost half (from 115,000 square feet to 59,000 square feet), and the concomitant reduction of car parking by 298 spaces (from 653 spaces or 6 cars per acre to 355 or 5 cars per acre), traffic impact is lessened significantly. Item 8 The proposed plan respects surrounding residential uses by providing screenwalls, landscape buffers and tree planting. Parking areas are adequately landscaped and buffered from adjoining major thoroughfares. Attached signage is restrained and well below sign ordinance standards, but both of the proposed monument sign options appear to exceed those standards and needs to be revised. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit, site plan, landscape plan, building elevations with brick to match that of the screenwall adjoining the site on the west, and fixture plan. However, staff recommends that the monument sign be modified as follows: Reduce the overall monument width so as not to exceed 9 feet and the backlighted sign width so as not to exceed 5 feet. Reduce the overall monument height so as not to exceed 7 feet and the backlighted sign height so as not to exceed 4 feet 6 inches, including the Kroger sign and not more than 2 individual tenants. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the S.U.P. 2) Deny the S.U.P. 3) Modify the S.U.P. ATrACHMENTS: 1) Site Plan 2) Landscape Plan 3) Elevation Study 4) Fixture Plan Item 8
