ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a zoning change from (LI) Light
Industrial to (HC) Highway Commercial due to the massive
amount of (LI) zoning currently in place (over 36% of
Coppell's total zoning area). Also, the fact that
Comprehensive Plan shows the (HC) designation as the
ultimate use of this property, encouraged this request.
The (HC) zoning district was designed to permit high
intensity areas allowing a mixed-use for office,
commercial-retail and highway-oriented uses, to be located
along high-volume thoroughfares. This 59 acre parcel is
suitable for (HC) development. This parcel is certainly
better suited for uses such as hotels, restaurants and low
to mid-rise office, given the fact that S.H. 121 will be
expanded in the future and the proximity of this parcel to
the DFW Airport. Along with these suggested uses, the (HC)
zoning district also allows manufacturing and industrial
use, which allows flexibility in future development. Staff
recommends approval of the zoning request.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning request
2) Deny the zoning request
3) Modify the zoning request
