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 Commission approved the zoning and
preliminary plat. However, City Council on April 9, 1996 kept
the zoning case open until May 14, 1996 and denied the
preliminary plat because the zoning was not in place.
