Beltline Road, approximately 2,300 feet east of MacArthur Boulevard. SUM OF AREA: Approximately 2.29 acres of property. CURRENT ZONING: LI (Light Industrial). REQUEST: Site Plan approval. APPLICANT: Owner: Ken and Waverly Egbert 2081 Hutton Drive Carrollton, Texas 75006 972- 241 -5300 FAX 972- 241 -5348 Architect: Cornerstone Architectural Services, Inc 10719 Plano Road, Suite 100 Dallas, Texas, 75238 972- 669-1900 FAX 972- 669 -2565 HISTORY: There is no recent zoning history on this tract. TRANSPORTATION: East Beltlme Road is a PD6 6 lane divided major arterial thoroughfare built within a 120' wide right -of - -way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Railroad; Apartments, NF-2, Multifamily South - Archon Apartments; PD- 162 - MF -2, Multifamily East - Archon Apartments; PD- 162 - MF -2, Multifamily West - Blooming Colors Nursery: LI, Light Industrial COMPREHENSWE PLAN. The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for light industrial/showroom uses Item X 13 DISCUSSION: The owners of the property desire to construct a 16,980 square foot officetwarehouse on this site. The property is currently zoned LI, which permits this use. This property is parked at a ratio of one space per 300 square feet of floor area. This would allow this entire building to be leased as office. If any portion of the building is leased for warehousing, there will be surplus parking spaces. The LI district regulations require 60 front yard setbacks and 10 foot setbacks side and rear. The parking is required to be setback 30 feet from the property line. The site plan indicates one direct access point to Belt Line Road. To utilize the existing median break for westbound traffic, vehicles will need to circulate in front of the Veterinary Clinic and undeveloped Lot 2. While this is technically feasible, another access point through Lot 2 would be preferable. Approximately 35% of the land is devoted to landscaping. This is an interior lot, except for a 50 foot "flag" (fire lane) to Beltline Road. The 10 foot wide perimeter landscaping is appropriate along the boundary of the site as well as along the edges of this fire lane. Interior landscaping is being provided through a combination of tree islands and buffer areas. The non - vehicular landscaping is being provided along the eastside of the building, adjacent to the 15 foot wide hike and bike trail. While this provides for an amenity for the users of the hike and bike trail, it must be noted that if additional parking or access points are desired in the future, then additional landscaped areas will be required to be provided within the site. The elevations indicate that this building have a facade of face brick, with stone face masonry units as accent materials. While this meets the masonry requirement of the zoning ordinance, it is recommended that there be architectural compatibly among aU buildings on this site. The Veterinary Clinic proposes limestone veneer with white accent materials. It is suggested that this limestone veneer, as a minimum, to be an accent material to be compatible with the Veterinary Clinic. Finally, there are two minor corrections needed to the site plan data. First, in the Land/Building Data Table, Lot "4 ", in the parking calculations, needs to be revised to Lot "3 ". Second, staff is unclear as to the intent of the General Note "Signs shall conform to Chapter 29, Paragraph 2 and 3 of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance." Staff is recommending that Signs shall be in accordance with all applicable provisions of Chapter 29. RECOhOdENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending approval of this site plan subject to: Item # 13 1. A second access point being provided from the western portion of this tract to Belt Line Road via a mutual access easement through Lot 2. 2. Correction of "4" to Lot "3" in the Data Table 3. Revision to # 9 of the General Notes to read as follows: "Signs shall be in accordance with all applicable provisions of Chapter 29 of the Coppell Zoning Ordinance." 4.
