TRANSPORTATION: Fritz Road is a C2U two lane undivided roadway built to standazd in a
65 foot right of way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -Industrial warehousing: LI, Light Industrial
South -vacant and office; HC, Highway Commercial
East -vacant ; HC Highway Commercial
West -Interstate 635; "A", Agricultural
COMPREHENSNE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
office, showroom and wazehouse uses.
DISCUSSION: This is a request to add a total of 68 covered pazking spaces to an
existing office development known as the International
Association of Assembly Managers (IAAM) building. The
existing lot contains 163 pazking spaces. Phase one development
would involve 6 existing pazking spaces, with future covered
parking being constructed as demand warrants it. The reason for
the request is to provide protective parking for some of the
building tenants, and also act as a marketing tool for future
leases. Because the parking shelters will be composed of the same
building materials as the main building, and retain the current
trim colors, staff can support this request. We would add a
comment addressing needed assurance from the applicant that all
existing landscaping in the affected parking lots be maintained in
a healthy and growing condition during and after construction of
the parking shelters. With that assurance, staff can support this
request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of this request with the understanding
that the applicant is aware of Section 12-34-6 (Maintenance) of the
Coppell Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which addresses the
question of maintaining all landscape materials.
ALTERNATNES:
1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
Item # 11

archiOaeWn Attached you will find the requested drawing copies and digital information for this re-
'vKerion
planning submittal. As you requested, I have talked to Greg Jones and discussed the architectural
ynphics design issues on the Carports.
Our design changes (shown in elevations and perspective) meet the 80% masonry
requirement you stipulated but more importantly work well with the existing simple modern
lines of the office building.
The carports selected will be a high quality prefabricated cantilevered structure suitable for a
Commercial Class A office buildings and durable life. Because of the marketplace demand
for covered parking in recent years we are seeing much better quality pre-engineered carport
structures. The steel structures and concrete columns will be painted to match the existing
concrete building panels. The flat roof cantilevered column design was selected because it is
very similar to the existing entry canopy of the office building.
We also intend to construct the carport structures using the standard metal roof panels (not a
built up roof systems). We feel that a modification to the roof of these structures will, one
only add unnecessazy weight to a cantilevered design. Two, the carports aze not needed over
unenclosed/unoccupied space. Three, they will create maintenance concerns (trapped
moisture will cause premature deck rusting). '
The carports will be installed in phases and will not interfere with existing light poles or
exisiitrtf!!troes which will continue to be prune up as growth extents above canopy roofs.
Please call me
have any questions.
