PROPOSED ZONING: TC-S-1195B (Town Center-Special Use Permit-1195B) to
allow the replacement of an existing 70-foot high light
fixture with an 80-foot one, the placement of 3 flush-
mounted telecommunication antennae on the new pole, and
an equipment building adjacent to the concession stand.
HISTORY: There has been considerable history--particularly as it
relates to cell towers--on this portion of Andrew Brown Park
Central. On December 14, 1999, City Council approved a
lease agreement with AT&T Wireless Services for the
Item # 4
Pane 1 of 3
placement of an 80 foot high telecommunications tower and
the construction of a concession stand/restroom facility
within this park area. The concession stand/restroom was
completed in August 2000. In January of 2002, Sprint went
through the Special Use Permit process for a similar cell
tower located north of the AT&T site.
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING:
North -Andrew Brown Park Central; TC, Town Center
South -Andrew Brown Park Central; TC, Town Center
East - Andrew Brown Park Central; TC, Town Center
West - Andrew Brown Park West; TC, Town Center
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows this property as suitable
for park and open space uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a straightforward case following in the footsteps of
several other telecommunication requests submitted in the
same general location. Basically, our Zoning Ordinance
requires cell phone facilities to co-locate on existing
power/light poles in the community whenever possible. T-
Mobile needed an additional cell facility in Coppell and the
most appropriate place for it was somewhere in Andrew
Brown Park. During T-Mobile's investigation it was
determined that an existing light pole in Andrew Brown
Central was most desirable as a suitable site. The City was
approached with the proposition that, if allowed, T-Mobil
would replace the existing 70 foot light tower with a more
substantial 80 foot tall one, would screen its
mechanical/electrical equipment with a structure similar to
the one at the north end of the existing concession stand,
and would lease the area from the City. We are currently
finalizing the lease agreement between the city and the
applicant. Since T-Mobile would need a Special Use
Permit triggering public review by the Planning
Commission and City Council, staff encouraged submittal
of the application being considered by you tonight.
