In 1989, 115 acres were rezoned from PD-Recreation Center to PD-l 08
for institutional, office, retail, commercial and light industrial uses. This
property was owned by the Baptist Foundation, and their Concept
Plan indicated a proposed university site east of Grapevine Creek. To
the west of Grapevine Creek was a proposed park. The balance of
the PD was envisioned for light industrial/tech uses, with commercial
and office buildings proposed along Denton Tap Road. In 1995, this
PD was amended to allow for the development of The Summit at the

Springs, a 46-lot SF-9 residential subdivision on approximately 30 acres
located roughly 500 feet west of Denton Tap Road, south of Bethel
Road. In 1998, this PD was amended to allow for The Reserve, a 23-lot
residential subdivision on 9.7 acres of land located to the west of The
Summit at the Springs. In 1998 a request to rezone a 37-acre tract
(which now includes the Service Center site) from PD-L1 and R to PD-
SF-9 for 102 single-family lots (to be known as Westchase) was denied
by City Council. This 37-acre tract was subsequently sold to the City of
Coppell for future use. In July of 2005, PD-108R6-H was approved to
allow the development of two medical and office buildings totaling
33, 1 08-sq u are-feet on the south side of Bethel Road. The first building
has been constructed and is currently partially occupied.
On July 10, 2007 Council approved a Concept Plan for 56 residential
lots on this 20 acre tract of land. Given the conceptual nature of the
plan and the landscape plan, and the outstanding conditions, a
Detail Plan approval is required, in addition to the Preliminary Plat.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel Road is a two-lane asphalt road contained within a
variable width right-of-way. Construction to a concrete roadway
is scheduled to begin late third quarter, 2008.

East - retail nursery (vacant), offices; R (Retail)
West - Summit at the Springs; PD-208R-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for Residential Medium Density.
DISCUSSION:
This is a companion case to the PD request to attach a Detail Plan
for the development of 56 single family lots and 6 common area
lots. A final plat will be required prior to the actual development
of this property; however, several revisions as discussed in the PD
will need to be reflected on this preliminary as well as the Final
Plat.
