I[ISTORY: This property was originally zoned PD for a Recreation Center. In
1989. 115 acres was rezoned to PD 108 for Light industrial Uses.
known as the Springs of Coppell. This property ,.,,'as owned by the
Baptist Foundation at that time and their Concept Plan indicated a
proposed universip,.' site east of Grapevine Creek. To the west of
Grapevine Creek '.'.-as a proposed park. The balance of the PD was
envisioned for light industrial/tech uses, with commercial and
offices proposed along Denton Tap Road. In 1995. this PD was
amended to allow for 46 single family lots (SF-9) on approximately
30 acres located 500___ feet west of Denton Tap Road, south of
Bethel Road, and known as the Summit at the Springs. In 1998.
this PD was amended to allow for the Reserve, a twenty'-three lot
subdivision on 9.7 acres of land located m the west of the Springs.
Finally. in 1998 a request to rezone a 37 acre tract (which includes
Item # 7
the proposed Service Center site) from PD-LI and R to PD SF-9
for 102 single family lots was denied by the City Council. This 37
acre tract was subsequently sold to the City for future use.
TRANSPOR'I'ATION: Coppell Road is shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C2U
Collector Street ~38 feet of paving, within a 60' right-of-way.}, but
currently exists as two lane asphalt road. within 60' of right-of-
way. The proposed driveway to this site will align x~ith existing
Burns Street (60' R.O.W.) on the ~est side of Coppell Road.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- undeveloped land: PD 108-LI
South - DART R.O.W. and commercial uses; C and LI
East - undeveloped land: PD 108-LI
West - City Animal Shelter and undeveloped land: PD 108-LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
Public/Institutional uses. based upon the Land Use Plan
amendments adopted by the Ci~' Council on June 13, 2000.
DISCUSSION: This request is to amend the PD to attach a detail plan for a
municipal service center under the existing Light Industrial
zoning. This service center is proposed to be located 300
feet east of Coppell Road, allowing for retail and related
uses to be developed along this street frontage. The 25 tbot
driveway from Coppell Road will be located within a 100
foot wide "leg", which will be landscaped with Pecan Trees
and grass.
On November 14. 2000 the City Council will be briefed on
the possible of the existing Historic Overlay District as
recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
These expanded boundaries will encompass the frontage
along both sides of Coppell Road, and be extended to the
east, to include the subject property and Grapevine Springs
Park. Therefore, this service center and the property
fi-onting on Coppell Road could potentially be regulated
under the Historic Overlay District Regulations.
The development of the property along the frontage of
Coppell Road will obscure the view of the service center
from the remainder of the Historic District. The smaller
scale, retail related uses and a possible train depot along the
Coppell Road frontage will lend themselves to the Historic
District architecture.
Item # 7
SITE PLAN
]'his main structure is proposed to be a 15.626 square foot
building xxhich will contain offices for the Leisure Services
and Public Works Departments. The eastern portion ~rear~
of the building will contain service bays and parts storage
areas. One hundred and fourteen parking spaces are being
provided, all but 16 are in front of the building. Other
structures on this site will house the signal and meter shops
and associated storage, vehicle and chemical storage
buildings and less than 10 percent of the site will be
devoted to outside storage of equipment and vehicles.
A concrete fire lane will encircle the site, however, the
remaining paved surface is proposed to be asphalt.
Perimeter screening on the north, east and south sides are
proposed to be an 8-foot high, chain link fence, with
landscaping. The screening parallel to Coppell Road will
be an extension of the two-tone tilt wall panels to match
the main building. A 60 square foot sign is proposed to
be located at the entry to the service center area. again
utilizing the same color and materials as the main
structure.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
The required perimeter landscaping is provided along all
property lines. The requirement for one tree per 50 linear
feet is being exceeded in most areas. Per Section 33-1.5 of
the Zoning Ordinance. solid screening walls are required
adjacent to the areas proposed for outside storage. In lieu
of a solid masonry screening a living screen is proposed
and can be approxed through the public hearing process.
The Landscape Plan indicates Austrian Pines planted 10
feet on center. These pine trees will provide an adequate
visual screen in that they grow to a height of 25 to 40 feet,
and 15 to 20 feet wide. However. planting them 20 feet
on center (versus 10 feet on center) would be more
desirable. This will reduce the tree count along the east
property line from 50 to 25 trees. 3l to 15 trees along the
north property line. and 10 to 5 along the south property
line. Reducing the total number of Austrian pines from
91 to 45 trees will still provide an adequate visual
screening devise as they' reach maturity.
Approximately one acre of non-vehicular landscaping is
required. This requirement is being fulfilled in front of thc
Item # 7
main building adjacent to the driveway as well as north
and south of the parking areas. The parking lot
landscaping is also being achieved though a combination
of parking lot islands and landscaped areas adjacent to the
pedestrian walkways. Purple Fountain Grass is being
proposed north and south of the main structure to screen
the parking areas.
ELEVATIONS
The exterior of the main building will be tilt wall with
two-toned "dryvit' as an over coating. The lower
portions will be a light brown color, and the upper
portions will be a cream color. The roof will be asphalt
shingles, with a blue-green fiberglass wall panel system as
an architectural accent as well as to provide natural
lighting in the shop,bay area. An alternative roofing
material is a gray? standing seam metal roof. The north
and south elevations will also contain the overhead doors
to access the service bay area. The overhead door material
is specified as galvanized mill finished coiling door.
The Chemical Storage Building and Parts Storage
Buildings will use the same building and roof materials as
the main structure? with chain link security fencing and
gates. The Vehicle/Equipmem Storage Building is
generally an open air building with walls primarily of
chain link, with chain link gates. The roof is proposed as
asphalt shingle.
