HISTORY:
A request for 122 townhouses on approximately 24 acres and
commercial/retail uses on approximately 5 acres was submitted
for property adjacent to this request in 2006. After several
postponements, the request was denied by Planning Commission
and not appealed to City Council. In April of 2007, a revised plan
was submitted on the same parcel which included 73 single family
lots on 24 acres and commercial/retail uses on 5 acres. That

request was approved by both the Planning Commission and City
Council in mid 2007. During those hearings, the applicant
expressed a desire to add two more residential lots to the PD if an
agreement could be worked out between the applicant and an
adjacent land owner. An agreement has been reached, hence
this request to amend the PD.
TRANSPORT A nON:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, improved, concrete, six-lane divided
thoroughfare contained within a 110 foot right-of-way. Sandy Lake
Road is an existing asphalt two-lane road to eventually be
improved to a C4D, four-lane, divided thoroughfare contained
within a 110 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- GTE warehouse; R (Retail)
South -single-family residences; SF-12 (Single Family 12)
East- vacant; PD-SF-9/C, (PD for Residential/Commercial)
West- single-family residences; SF-7 (Single-Family 7)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan, as amended, shows the
property as suitable for single-family uses.
DISCUSSION:
As outlined in the HISTORY section, property adjacent to this
request has been involved in recent zoning activity, resulting in
the approval of a 73 lot single-family and a 5 acre
commercial/retail development. That approval was granted in
mid 2007. What is applied for here is an additional two residential
lots somewhat larger than those already approved in the
proposed subdivision. Also, the extension of a street to serve
these lots and additional common space is included in the
application. When initially submitted, the applicant indicated a
desire to enlarge his development by two lots if an agreement
with GTE to sell adjacent property could be accomplished. That
has occurred and this proposal would be a logical extension of
the approved project. Since this proposed revision is compatible
with the Detail Planned Development to be constructed
adjacent, staff can support this request provided the conditions
listed below are complied with.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions:
1) Change Condition 5.0 in write up from "Maximum" to
"Minimum" Lot Area.
