HEARING DATE: LOCATION: SIZE OF AREA: August 19, 1999 September 14, 1999 140 Heartz Road. 4.936 acres; shade structure 1,200 sf CURRENT ZONING: REQUEST: SF-12 (Single Family-12) Amend the Site Plan APPLICANT: Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church 140 Heartz Road Coppell, TX 75019 (972) 393-7074 FAX: (972) 406-8792 HISTORY: The property was platted in June of 1988. In November of 1989, the property was rezoned from SF-12 to SF-12, Special Use Permit, to allow the operation of a church, day nursery and school. In July of 1998, the Church received a temporary variance from the Board of Adjustment to allow a temporary 1,200 sf shade structure for a period not to exceed 24 months. In the beginning of this year, City Council approved a 15,265 sf addition consisting of a sanctuary, fellowship hall, and additional classrooms on this property. TRANSPORTATION: Heartz Road is a C2U, 2-lane undivided collector street contained with 50' of right-of-way. Item # 15 SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- South - East- West - Texas District Lutheran Church; "0" Office Single-family residences under construction; Planned Development, Single-family-7 Single-family residences under construction; Planned Development, Single-family -7 Braewood West residential subdivision; SF-7 "PD-SF-7" "PD-SF-7" COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for public and institutional uses. DISCUSSION: When the applicant came forward with the Site Plan review for the new sanctuary, fellowship hall and classrooms, he mentioned during the public deliberations that once the church additions were complete the shade structure would be moved to an inner courtyard area. Due to minor structural changes to the building under construction, the shade structure will no longer fit in the inner courtyard area. Thence, the applicant is requesting to bring the shade structure up to code. City code requires all accessory buildings greater than 150 sf to be an 80% masonry construction. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to brick the existing metal posts. The brick to be used on the posts will match the building (#132 Houston Gray). Staff had some concern with regards to the durability and maintenance of the existing canvas. Applicant has furnished staff a write up on the composition of the canvas and its resilience. A note has been provided on the face of the Site Plan/Landscape Plan that states "the canvas cover will be maintained in a top quality/first-class condition, free from fraying, rips or fading". RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends approval of the site plan amendment. ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request. 2) Recommend disapproval of the request 3) Recommend modification of the request 4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
