SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Vacant; (MF-2) zoning
South - Vacant; Grapevine Creek Channel
East - Vacant; Proposed Self-storage facility
West - Vacant; (LI) zoning
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The area of MacArthur Blvd. and Beltline Road has been
designated as a special land use category for mixed uses since it is
considered as a gateway into the City.
ANALYSIS:
This particular use, is a use which is suitable for this mixed-use
area, as described in the Comprehensive Plan, as an entry into the
City.
The Coppoll Park Board has suggested that the applicant provide
a 30' easement for the citizens' use as a Hike and Bike trail, along
the rear (south) portion of the Blooming Colors Nursery, as well
as along the rear of the mini-storage facility and the church.
Each applicant has indicated that it would be impossible to provide
such an easement based on the plans already submitted for review.
A 20' maintenance and access easement presently exists between
the rear of these properties and the Grapevine creek channel.
Negotiations for a commitment to share this easement have not
worked out as staff had hoped. During our development review
process, we asked the representative for each of the properties, to
request permission to share the easement. An attempt was made
by the applicant's representative, but the response from Paul Phy,
representative of Irving Flood Control district, was that the flood
control district could not be responsible for liabilities as a result of
the use of the easement as a Hike and Bike trail.
Since this is a suggestion made by the Park Board, and has not yet
been adopted by ordinance nor accepted by the City, staff hesitates
to require the easement as a condition of approval, otherwise, we
have no objection to the approval of the zoning change request.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the Special Use Permit
