Valley R Plaza-CS 920521 CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE #: S-1059 - (WENDY'S] P & Z HEARING DATE: May 21, 1992 C. C. HEARING DATE: June 9, 1992 LOCATION: Near the southwest corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Beltline Road. SIZE OF AREA: 40,390 square feet. REQUEST: Approval of a zoning change from (LI) Light Industrial to (LI-SUP) Light Industrial Special Use Permit, for the operation of a Wendy's Restaurant. APPLICANT: Prizm Architects Winkleman & Assoc., Inc. (Architect} (Engineer) 1333 Corporate Drive 12800 Hillcrest Road Suite #103 Suite #200 Irving, TX 75038 Dallas, TX 75230 (214) 714-0420 (214) 490-7090 HISTORY: There has been no recent zoning history on this parcel. TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is an improved P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare in 110' of right-of-way: Beltline Road, to the north, is designated as a P6D, but currently is only an asphalt, two-lane road contained within a 120' right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Vacant: C zoning South - Goodyear facility: C zoning East - Shopping Center: LI zoning West - Vacant: C zoning COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows mixed use with no multi-family. ITEM 5 ANALYSIS: This proposal tracks with the base zoning as well as the Comprehensive Plan. The landscaping shown needs to be more responsive to our Streetscape Plan - that is, Cedar Elms are proposed to be the dominant street tree - this plan shows a Live Oak along the street. Staff would recommend two Cedar Elms (one at each end of the property) to replace the one Live Oak proposed. The rest of the landscape plan appears adequate although the Streetscape Plan does suggest groupings of Crepe Myrtles in addition to the Cedar Elms. Also, each parking space must contain a minimum of 180 square feet of area. It is important to set the right tone for development on this parcel as what is proposed here will set a precedence for the three additional pad sites to the north. Staff does, therefore, recommend approval of the zoning request with minor modifications to the landscape plan, bringing that plan more in line with the streetscape guidelines.
