COMP~IVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Neighborhood Retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
SITE PLAN:
This request is to construct a 15,300 square feet retail center with
neighborhood serving uses such as cleaners, camera store, restaurants, etc.
Normally the restaurant would require a Special Use Permit. However, in
the mid 1990's the City and the Parks of Coppell Trust entered into a
settlement agreement entitling the Parks of Coppell Trust to construct
and operate two (2) restaurants with window service on two specific
locations in Town Center. The Wendy's site was one of the sites, and
the current area of request is the second. One of the terms of the
settlement is that no Special Use Permit shall be required as a condition
to the issuance of a building permit or certificate of occupancy on either
site. The restaurant currently proposed does not have a window service.
Denton Tap Road is a primary image zone, and as such the architectural
character, signage, landscaping, and other physical development forms need
to be carefully designed. The site plan is in compliance with the
Stxeetscape Plan's reco~tions for primary image zones in that it is
providing brick pavers at the driveway, utilizing Cedar Elms, planted 40
foot on center, as the main tree along the street frontage. The
reco~ons of the Com~ve Plan and the CIVIC report are also
being addressed by limiting the rr~t~aln on the exterior elevations.
A monument sign is indicated on the site plan, but elections and detaila of
the size, color and font of the sign were not included in the revised
submiasion for Planning and Zoning Commission consideration. The sign is
site is less than two (2) acres. It is recommend~ that the sign be
constructed with the same brick as the main building and the color and size
of letter should be in conformance with the recommee~_fons of the CIVIC
report. There is a note on the Elevations Sheet stating that the attached signs
will be of channel type mmmamion, however, color and font style was not
spedfied. This note also has several spelling errors which need to be
Item # 17
A major concern with this proposed development is the preservation of
mature trees on the site. Since the initial application, the site plan has
been revised to preserve a 24' caliper Elm tree and two Oak trees (20'
caliper and 25" caliper) along the Denton Tap Road frontage. Three
additional Elm trees (8-12' calipers) are being preserved along the north
property line. However, 235 caliper inches of protected trees will still
be removed for this development. Given the trees to be protected and
the new trees being planted on the site, there will be $4,400 due to the
Coppell Reforestation Fund.
Prior to City Council consideration, additional information is also
needed on the lighting facilities including security lighting, screening and
glare shades for both building and site lighting. Roof top equipment
needs to be screened from adjacent properties.
Given that this project is within Town Center, prior to City Council
consideration of this request, a letter of approval from the Town Center
Architectural Control Committee is required.
