CASE #: S-1050
P & Z HEARING DATE: November 8, 1990
C. C. HEARING DATE: December 11, 1990
LOCATION: The southeast corner of Corporate Park Drive and S.H. 121.
SIZE OF AREA: 10.0 Acres
REQUEST: Approval of a zoning change from (LI) Light Industrial, to
(LI-SUP) Light Industrial Special Use Permit, for a
temporary batch plant.
APPLICANT: Owner, E-Systems Pool Trust Mr. Art Reilley
James W. Crowley, Trustee The R.E. Hable Company

Dallas, Texas 75266-0248 Corsicana, Texas 75151
(214) 872-8221
HISTORY: There has been no recent zoning history on the subject
parcel.
TRANSPORTATION: State Highway 121 is proposed to be a four-lane divided
thoroughfare with access roads on both sides. Corporate
Park is a local, two lane street contained within a 50 foot
right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
The subject tract is surrounded by vacant (LI) zoning,
although a legal, non-conforming mobile home park is
located north of the tract.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan does not recognize a temporary
batching plant use; the Plan suggests highway oriented
commercial development here.
ANALYSIS: The applicant has stated that this temporary use is needed
for construction of State Highway 121. The applicant has
also indicated that a 30 month time frame should be
sufficient for completing the roadway construction.
ITEM 14
As a general rule, batching plants are not uses communities
desire to locate within their corporate limits.
Historically they have been nuisances to neighborhoods -
they have created air pollution problems, heavier traffic
generation, noise, dust, and a host of other irritating
conditions. In addition, an inordinate amount of wear on
City streets has been attributed to this use due to the
heavy loaded trucks which frequent the plant. Without
sufficient safeguards, this request could be a nuisance -
if not worse - to Coppell.
Staff would recommend approval only for a limited time
period, and with assurances that all the possible problems
mentioned above are addressed. If the applicant can assure
the Commission that this use can exist without creating
problems, i.e. air, noise, dust problems can be resolved,
truck traffic will use only specified routes, all
environmental and governmental restrictions will be
followed to the letter of the law, etc., then staff would
recommend approval for 18 months from Council approval (if
Council is inclined to grant). At the end of 18 months,
and provided the applicant has been a good neighbor,
extension for the remainder of the 30 month approval
requested should be no problem, although a request to
extend the Special Use Permit would require Commission and
Council action. By granting the 18 month initial approval,
Commission and Council are assured that all required
stipulations are met; if they aren't, the extension would
warrant denial.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the Special Use Permit
2) Deny the Special Use Permit
