HISTORY: This property was platted in 1987 and replatted in 1992. The
Coppell City Council granted three Special Use Permits on portions
of the property in 1987 - one for a service station, one for a car
wash, and one for a convenience store. In mid-1994, Council
granted Special Use Permits for a Schlotzsky's on the most
northwesterly portion of the site and for an Arby's on the most
southerly portion. In late 1994, Council granted a Special Use
Permit for a SpeeDee Oil Change facing Beltline Road adjoining the
east side of the proposed Schlotzsky's. None of these proposals
were built.
Item # 14
In August 1996, Council approved a commercial planned
development that permitted construction of a 3,278 s.f. drive-through
restaurant and a separate 19,200 s.f. retail/restaurant building on
3.676 acres. On February 18, 1999 the Planning and Zoning
Commission approved an 8,000 s.f. retail building. When Council
heard the case on March 9, 1999, the applicant had submitted a site
plan showing a 10,000 s.f. structure. Based on the fact that the plan
did not meet the city's parking regulations and that the Planning and
Zoning Commission had not reviewed that particular plan, Council
denied the zoning request.
The applicant resubmitted the following month a 10,000 s.f. retail
building site plan for both Planning and Zoning Commission and
Council review. On May 11, 1999, Council approved the site plan
amendment for a new 10,000 s.f. retail building at this site.
TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Boulevard is a P6D divided major thoroughfare built to
standard in a 11 O'-wide right-of-way. Beltline Road is shown on the
thoroughfare plan as a P6D and is scheduled for construction by
Dallas County, but currently is a 2-lane asphalt roadway contained
within a 120'-wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; "C" Commercial
South - restaurant; "LI-S.U.P. Light Industrial, Special Use Permit
East - shopping center; "LI" Light Industrial
West - vacant; "C" Commercial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The applicant is requesting a site plan amendment to reduce the size of the
Phase II retail building from 10,000 s.f. to 8,000 s.f., as well as enclose
1,360 s.f. of outdoor patio space of the McDonald's restaurant. The
proposed changes affect both the required parking and landscaping
requirements on site. With this submittal the applicant has demonstrated
that they have furnished adequate parking, as well as retained the 22%
overall site landscape percentage as previously approved.
The new building expansion at McDonald's will entail a loss of 96 s.f. of
existing landscaping. However, approximately 483 s.f. of additional
landscaping is being added, therefore, the net change is positive. Staff
adds that any plant material that dies during construction will have to be
replaced with plant material of similar variety and size. Also, shown on
Item # 14
the site plan are 9 new parking spaces along the western elevation of the
new building. Staff would like to point out when the original planned
development was approved, the 9 parking spaces closest to the eastern
elevation of the McDonalds structure were approved without a planting
island at the northern end of the row of parking. As the zoning case is
being reopened, staff is requesting direction from the Planning and Zoning
Commission with regards to requiring the applicant to provide a planting
island. The area in question is currently paved, and it may be cost
prohibitive for the applicant to provide a landscaped island at this location.
If the Commission does not feel it is appropriate to require one, staff
requests that the Commission waive the requirement and stipulate it as a
condition of the new planned development.
The submitted building elevations show an 18.76 s.f. ivory channel letter
"Playplace" sign, as well as an alternate sign proposal for the yellow
"Golden Arch M" McDonald's sign. Staff notified the Valley Ranch
Association of the proposed changes at the McDonald's site and learned
that the Valley Ranch Master Association Architectural Review
Committee denied both sign requests (see letter from Bruce Crawford).
Planning staff would concur with the Architectural Review Board's
recommendation.
With regards to the new 8,000 s.f. retail building, staff would recommend
enforcement of the restaurant usage limitation on the entire 4.6 acres of
property to a total of 17,300 square feet of both interior/exterior space.
The applicant is providing 48 new parking spaces and a loading space for
this new facility. Staff does appreciate the applicant's efforts to provide
additional landscaping and plant material against the eastern and western
elevations, which softens the solid brick facades. Also, the three planter
pots (4 square feet large) at the entrance of this retail center enhances the
aesthetics of the overall project (although generally we do not support
plastic boxes). The exterior building materials submitted show the new
retail building will match the color and type of materials of the exiting
retail center.
Regarding the proposed signage, staff recommends a 40 square foot
monument sign identifying the building (not the establishments) be
allowed on this site. The Planning and Zoning Commission in April of
this year approved a sign with tenant names. Since this is a new submittal,
the Commission is asked to make the determination again.
