COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION This is a request to develop a vacant parcel of retail /commercial land at
the northeast corner of Sandy Lake and Moore Roads. The proposal
reflects a one -story 13,000- square -foot building that could accommodate a
variety of office and retail uses These uses would require 66 parking
spaces and that number is shown on the site plan. The property shares a
mutual access /fire lane easement to the east that was partially provided by
the dental office building on the adjacent lot. When the proposed project
is completed, a looped easement will extend from the current one on the
dental lot over to Moore Road on the north side of the proposed building.
This easement is necessary and has been endorsed by the Fire Department.
The landscaping plan complies with our Plant Palette listing and the
interior, perimeter, and non - vehicular landscaping calculations exceed our
minimum requirements Although we had some initial concerns regarding
the size of tenant signs, that concern has been rectified with the applicant
stating on the face of the elevations maximum signage in accordance with
our sign standards The monument sign meets code and overall this
project can be a positive addition to the area.
The elevations initially submitted had flat roofs, and the profile coupled
with the light colored brick accents gave the project a Santa Fe look. A
darker brick for the tenant entrances would reduce that perception of the
building. In addition, both office buildings to the east have significant
gabled roofs, and are of similar scale to this proposal We asked the
applicant (who is also an architect) to re -think his elevations and he has
resubmitted drawings that give the building more interest with the raised
parapet on the west side The applicant needs to verify that each elevation
of this building contains no more than 20% non - masonry materials (absent
windows and doors), being reminded that CMU is not considered a true
masonry material in Coppell
There are additional requirements of other city departments including tree
survey information and easement information These requirements are
reflected in the attached departmental comments' report.
ITEM # 12 Page 2 of 3
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions
1 Show 80% masonry calculations for each elevation
2 Remove "canvas awning" note from west elevation parapet.
3 Consider a darker brick for the "B -1" specified on the color board
4 Contact Larry Redick at (972) 323 -8917 to discuss electric easement
requirements
5 Departmental comments (Engineering, Parks)
ALTERNATIVES
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date
