HISTORY: When this parcel of land was annexed, it came into the City with
an Agricultural zoning classification until permanent zoning
comparable to that granted by the disannexing entity was
established, which was commercial zoning. At the March 24,
1994 Planning Commission hearing, Commission denied this plat
until several additional information requests were addressed
including a tree survey, MUD resolution, more detailed drawings
regarding the landscape treatment along MacArthur, etc.
Item 6
TRANSPORTATION: The two parcels are bound by MacArthur Blvd., a primary six-lane
divided (P6D) thoroughfare within a 120' r.o.w, which tapers
down to a 110' r.o.w., and is built to construction standards.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Vacant; (LI) and (HC) zoning
South - Vacant; (A), (SF) and (C) zoning
East Vacant; (A) zoning
West Vacant; (HC) zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The area north of Denton Creek was not incorporated into the
Coppell City limits until 1989, after having been disannexed by the
City of Lewisville, therefore, this area is not included in the
comprehensive plan.
ANALYSIS: This plat has been revised from the original submittal, and now includes
a great deal more detail than the March subdivision. The applicant has
completed a tree survey, has re-arranged his street pattern to more closely
identify with the existing on-site vegetation, is working to determine
proper location for the hike and bike trail, and has changed a street name.
Approval of the plat would be in order provided:
-zoning is changed to reflect a residential use
-sight visibility easements are indicated along MacArthur
-all required easements are shown on the face of the plat
-erosion control protection will be provided where needed
-streetscape requirements are met
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat.
2) Deny the plat
3) Modify the plat
