Trey Braswell, EIT 5750 Genesis Court, Suite 200 Frisco, Texas 75034 Phone: 972.335.3580 Fax: 972.335.3779 HISTORY: The subject site was originally platted as part of the Coppell Commerce Center Phase I, containing a total of 32.34 acres. On November 14, 2000, City Council approved a replat and site plan for the subject site, allowing the applicant to subdivide the property into two north/south blocks (Blocks 1 & 2) and to develop two office/warehouse buildings, each containing, 76,797 square- feet, on the southern portion of the site. On January 9, 2001, City ITEM #8 PAGE 1 of 2 Council approved a Replat and Site Plan amendment, consolidating the property into one lot and allowing the development of one additional office/warehouse building containing 76,797 square-feet. TRANSPORT ATlON: Freeport Parkway is a four-lane divided road in an 80 foot-wide right-of-way. Freeport Parkway is proposed to be expanded north of Sandy Lake Road to a six-lane roadway in a 110 foot-wide right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - Hard Eight Barbeque Restaurant; "PD-211-H" (Planned Development-211-Historic) South - Warehouse Distribution; "L1" (Light Industrial) East - Vacant Carter Crowley Site; "H" (Historic) West - Office/Warehouse; "L1" (Light Industrial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows this property as suitable for industrial/showroom uses. DISCUSSION: This is a straightforward Replat request. When this property was last replatted the northeast portion was planned for use as an alternate parking area and a fire lane was not shown to support an office/warehouse use. This Replat includes the required fire lanes, as well as dedicates a pedestrian access easement along the northern boundary. There is only one minor technical item outstanding with this request; therefore, staff is recommending approval. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions: 1) Revise northern boundary of pedestrian access easement to extend to the northern property line and replace "20'" with "variable width". ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3 Recommend modification of the request ATTACHMENTS: 1) Replat ITEM #8 PAGE2of2
