HISTORY: The City of Coppell annexed portions of the Vista Ridge Business
Park in 1986 and 1990, including the property currently requested
for rezoning. In connection with the annexation proceedings, the
City held public hearings to establish the existing zoning and
reinforced those decisions by adopting a new Official Zoning Map
in 1991 as part of Ordinance 91500, the current Zoning Ordinance.
On January 18, 1996, and on February 15, 1996, the Planning
and Zoning Commission denied this preliminary plat pending its
decision on the companion zoning case. On March 21, 1996
the Planning & Zoning Commi.~sion approved the zoning and
the preliminary plats. However, City Council on April 9, 1996
kept the zoning case opened till May 14, 1996 and denied the
preliminary plats because the zoning was not in place.
