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:
