COMPREttENSIVE PI.AN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for light industrial uses.
DISCUSSION:
As outlined in the ttlSTORY section of this report, there was a proposed
recreational usc activity platmed for this property roughly four and one-
half years ago. For a variety of reasons, those plans failed to materialize,
and the property is still vacant. It retains a Light Industrial zoning
classification and the current applicant is proposing a use recommended by
the Com?rehensive Phm. One 375~000-square-foot warehouse building is
requested by Industrial Development Iuternational (IDI), a company which
has constructed a number nf similar buildings in Coppelh Their biggest
project in the City is the DFW Trade Center located northwest of S.H. 121
and shared with the City of Grapevine.
This particular building is typical of our current inventory of warehouse
buildings and appears to meet most provisions of our ordinances. Where
discrepancies have been found, appropriate corrective comments have been
made, as reflected in the conditions for approval section of this report.
Tile proposal retains a number of n-ecs on thc northern portion of the site,
provides a detention pond to control water runoff and is providing parking
at code. The design of the building is typical of our large warehouse
structures, and the elevations approach the requirements of the Zollitlg
Ordinance. The Landscape Plan meets our standards.
Item # 11
Page 2 of 3
Plan discrepancies include a need to show and label fire hydrant locations
on the Site Plan, as well as fire department co~mcctiuns. Also, thc
applicant needs to dimension the width of parking spaces. Beltline Road
median alterations must be approved by the City of Dallas. The Site Plan
and Landscape Plan need to ret]¢ct a building fuotprint identical to the
building's design, including the articulated portions of the structure. With
regard to articulation, it appears that the architect has added articulation
elements along Bcltline Road, but there is some question whether the 100-
foot maximmn spacing has been met. Further discussion at the public
bearing will clarify staff concern regarding this point. The Engineering
Department has some concerns with this proposal but feels additional
conversations will resolve those concerns, A condition of approval is
compliance with Engineering comments.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the
conditions:
following
1. Show and label all fire hydrants on Site Plan and reconfigure Fire
Department connection locations to the satisfaction of the Fire
Department.
Dimension width of parking spaces on Site Plan.
3. Beltline Road median alterations must be approved by tbe City of
Dallas.
4. Site Plan and Landscape Plan need to reflect a building footprint in
compliance with thc building design.
5. Clarify building articulatinn design dimensions.
6. Cmnpiiance with Engineering corrunents (attached).
