This 14,000-square-foot retail center was completed in early 2005.
The SUP for Carvel, a 1,500-square-foot ice cream parlor (Carvel),
was approved in September 2004. Taco Del Mar received
approval for their SUP for a 1,650-square-foot restaurant with

outside seating in October of 2004. These two lease spaces have
since been vacated, and Tangerine Salon proposes to move from
a few lease spaces away into the two combined spaces. Little
Caesar's Pizza was approved in May of 2006. Healthy-Me
Marketplace received SUP approval for a 3,OOO-square-foot lease
space in this center on September 12, 2006. The other retail
tenants within the center did not require an SUP. Most recently,
Tangerine Salon has been issued a demolition permit for their
existing lease space.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane, divided thoroughfare built to
standard. Town Center Boulevard, on the opposite side of the
building, is built to standard.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - bank building; TC (Town Center)
South - retail strip center; TC (Town Center)
East - Coppell Justice Center; TC (Town Center)

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell Comprehensive Plan, as amended, recommends
neighborhood retail use on this parcel.
DISCUSSION:
According to the applicant, DeVine Cellars would like to
introduce a new concept to the City of Coppell - a full service
wine shop, tasting room, and tapas bar offering both on and off-
premise consumption of red, white, sparkling, and dessert wines,
as well as domestic and imported beers. The retail side of the
shop will offer almost 600 different varieties of wine, as well as
over 150 premium beers. They will also offer premium cigars and
accessories; glassware, packaged cheese and chocolate; off-
the-shelf and custom wine and cheese baskets; stemware, and
wine-related services, such as custom cellars and cellar stocking
and management.

This plan has gone through several iterations. Initially, the plan
included a retail area, two tasting rooms and a WIFI Lounge. Then,
as presented to staff at the Development Review Committee
(DRC) Meeting, the request was modified to exclude the WIFI
Lounge area and only have tastings on special occasions. Finally,
as submitted for Planning and Zoning Commission consideration,
the applicant reconfigured the proposal to include two parts - a
1, 148-square-foot retail wine/beer shop with its only entrance from
Denton Tap Road and a 1,095-square-foot restaurant/bar (tasting
room/tapas bar) with its own entrance from Denton Tap Road and
a secondary entrance on the Town Center Boulevard side. The
restaurant component and separate entrances were included due
to the TABC permitting requirements for the two uses (on-premise
and off-premise consumption).
Parking required for the retail use is one parking space per 200
square feet of floor area (six spaces required) and for the
restaurant use, one parking space per 100 square feet (11 spaces
required). The attached parking analysis demonstrates that there
will be sufficient parking to provide for the proposed uses, and
actually shows an excess in parking provided. The parking
analysis will need to be revised to indicate that only six spaces
are required for the retail portion of this business.
DeVine Cellars will also apply for and obtain all of the necessary
permits and licenses required by the T ABC and City of Coppell for
the legal sale of both on and off premise consumption of beer
and wine. The hours of operation will be as follows: Monday thru
Thursday - lOam to 10 pm, Friday and Saturday - lOam to 12 am,
Sunday - 12 noon to 6 pm. The two signs will be designed to be in
accordance with the sign regulations and will adhere to the
standards of the shopping center. They will consist of white
channel letters to match the same shade as those in the center
and will be no more than 30 square feet on each fa<;:ade, as the
lease width is 30 linear feet and signage is allowed at a ratio of
one square foot per lineal foot frontage.
