HISTORY: There has been considerable development history on the property
surrounding this request including site plan approvals as well as
platting activity. A site plan for a 11,570 retail building and final
plat for this property was denied by the City Council on December
14, 1999. Lack of adherence to the city's landscaping requirements,
size of the building as well as need for additional information on
proposed signage were the major areas of concern.
On March 2, 2000 the Board of Adjustment considered requests for
variances and special exceptions for this as well as Lot 5 of this
Item # 18
development (see attached letter from Greg Jones, Coppell's Chief
Building Official). The only favorable ruling relating to this lot was
a special exception to reduce the number of parking spaces required
for Lot 4. This special exception was granted subject to the size of a
restaurant being limited to a maximum 4,000 square feet.
TRANSPORTATION: MacArthur Blvd. is a P6D, shown as a six-lane divided thoroughfare
on our Thoroughfare Plan. It is currently an improved four-lane
divided roadway contained within a 110-foot r.o.w.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- mini-warehousing; PI)-151C
South - retail; "C", Commercial
Fan - franchise restaurant; 'C~, Commercial
West -TU electric transmission line; "A", Agricultural
COMPREI-IENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
retail uses.
DISCUSSION: The current request is for site plan approval 8,498 square foot retail
building. This represents a reduction of over 3,000 square feet from the
previous request. Per the Board of Adjustment action in March, a
maximum of 4,000 square feet of this building may be occupied for a
restaurant. However, prior to the occupancy of this building for this
use, a Special Use Permit is required. The SUP application will specify
type of restaurant, floor plan, hours of operation, etc.
The current plan meets the landscape requirements, whereas over 32%
of the lot is devoted to landscaping. Non-vehicular landscaping is
provided along MacArthur Blvd. as well as along the north and east
property lines in addition to the required perimeter landscaping.
Additional non-vehicular landscaping is also being provided adjacent to
the east and west ends of the buildings. Landscaped islands and trees are
also being provided in accordance with the Landscape Ordinance.
The exterior elevations, site lighting and signage will match the existing
buildings in this shopping center.
The final plat of this property indicates drainage easements near the
south and west property lines, and existing sanitary sewer and Lone Star
Gas easements along the southern property lines. No additional
easements are needed.
