HISTORY:
Currently there is one 22.5-acre platted lot at the subject location. A
portion of this property (14.8 acres) was proposed to be developed
with a health-care facility and a site plan was approved by Council in
1998. That site plan has not yet materialized, but 7.7 acres to the east
and outside the development proposal is now being considered for
purchase; hence the replat request.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare (120 feet
of right-of-way). State Highway 121 is under construction and being
built to freeway standards. It currently contains one-way access
roads, each 33 feet in width, within 450 feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residences, City of Lewisville
South -State Highway 121; City of Lewisville
East - vacant land; City of Lewisville
West-vacant land (Presbyterian Medical Center); HC, Highway
Commercial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as
suitable for regional retail use.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
This property is currently platted as one 22.5- acre lot. In February
of 1998, Presbyterian Hospital proposed, and had granted, a site
plan for a portion of the lot. Roughly 15 acres was proposed for
two buildings--a 75,000 square-foot ambulatory-care facility and a
45,000 square-foot medical office. As a sidebar, in discussions
subsequent to the site plan approval, staff was advised that
Presbyterian still had plans to eventually develop this center.
When that will occur has not been determined. At any rate, the
vacant 7.7 acres to the east of the Presbyterian buildings is the
subject of this application and needs to be replatted to establish
the exact area of purchase.
When property is replatted in the City of Coppell, staff requires
additional information to justify the request. Generally, a site
plan is sufficient to explain why and how the property might be
developed. Although this applicant provides us with an
illustration showing a possible layout for the vacant 7.7 acres, be
cautioned that this is a conceptual drawing only. The exhibit also
Item #7
illustrates a general idea of how the property in Lewisville
(where townhouses are shown east of the proposed replat area)
relates to the land in Coppell. We have been advised by
Lewisville that the townhouse concept was approved showing
101, one-story units being allowed on the property, with
office/retail/commercial development (to a depth of 300 feet or
so) being proposed along the 121 frontage. Based upon the
concept plan submitted with this replat application, the
conceptual uses proposed in Coppell consisting of
commercial/office/retail would complement the Lewisville plan
and be in conformance with our Master Plan.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this replat subject to the
following condition:
1. Before this replat can be developed, further platting will
be required to show fire lanes, r.o.w.'s, etc.
2. Change note on face of plat (assuming Lot lA will be
developed as currently approved) to state additional
platting will be required prior to development of Lot 1 B,
Block D.
3. Discuss and determine utility service with our
Engineering Department.
