HISTORY: The main senior center building originally housed the City's fire
station. In 1995 the fn'e station was constructed on Southwestern
Blvd, and the Senior Center relocated from the Annex Building to
the main building. The annex building was originally the City of
Coppell police station, and later occupied by the Water and Tax
Department. City Hall was once located in a portable building
behind the fire station. The City's original water storage facility
still exists on the property.
On July 6, 2000 the Board of Adjustment granted a variance to
Section 21-5 of the Zoning Ordinance allowing for CMU (concrete
block) to be utilized on the additions to the rear of the existing
buildings to match the existing building materials.

Item # 13 ~-/~"~'~
TRANSPORTATION: South Coppell Road is shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C2U
Collector (concrete street, 38 feet back to back, within a 60 foot
right-of-way), but currently exists as a two lane asphalt road,
within an 60 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- Single Family; commercial zoning
South - Retail; retail zoning
East - Single Family; retail zoning
West - Commercial; commercial zoning
(All surrounding properties are located within the Historic Overlay
District)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
uses permitted in the Historic Area.
DISCUSSION: As discussed above, this property has been used for several municipal
facilities over the years. The current request is to allow for the expansion
of both the Main Building and the Annex Building for Senior Center
facilities. The main building addition will consist of 374 square feet, and
an additional 385 square feet are being added to the annex building. This
expansion represents approximately 15% of the total building area. Per
interpretation from the Building Official, this property has retained it's
non-conforming rights as to the allowance of asphalt verses concrete
pavement, and the allowance for head-in parking on Coppell Road and the
provision landscaping. However, any additions to a non-conforming use
must meet current code requirements.
As indicated on the site plan, there are 26 parking spaces, counting the
stacked parking on Coppell Road as a single row. Per Section 31-6.6 of
the Zoning Ordinance, parking for a Community Center is required as
follows:
"Ten parking spaces plus (1) additional for each 300 square feet of floor
area over 2,000 square feet".
The total square footage of both buildings, after the expansion will be
5,027 square feet, requiring 21 spaces. Therefore, the 26 existing
parking spaces exceeds the minimum required.
The front elevations of the building will remain unchanged, except for the
addition of a green awning on the annex building to match the main
building. As previously noted, the additions to the rear of the building
have received Board of Adjustment approval to allow the use of CMU as a
masonry material. The elevations submitted illustrate the existing facades
and the proposed additions, however, all effected elevations of both
buildings need to be shown, and labeled in terms of direction of the
Item # 13
facade, (i.e. north, south, east, and west). A specification of the color and
materials to be used needs to be added to the elevation drawings and/or
submitted on a color board. The existing and surrounding zoning
designations need to be added to the site plan, as well as a location map.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan subject to:
1. All effected elevations of both buildings need to be shown, and labeled
in terms of direction of the fafade, (i.e. north, south, east, and west).
2. A specification of the color and materials to be used needs to be added
to the elevation drawings and/or submitted on a color board.
3. The existing and surrounding zoning designations need to be added to
the site plan.
4. Inclusion of a location map.
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.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Memo from Greg Jones, dated July 24, 200
2) Site Plan
3) Floor Plan
4) Elevations
ATTACHE TO
Marcie
I read section 40-5.5 of the zoning ordinance to mean that a
conforming building may be enlarged.
The only stipulations are that 1. the building or addition must conform to the current
maximum lot coverage area established and, 2. the new building construction must also
meet the current development standards.
Approval of the variance for masonry satisfies the requirements of number 2.
There is no restriction that I can find that requires an existing legal non-conforming site
to meet the any landscaping standards unless in the case where an addition requires
additional pavement to accommodate parking. In that case that paving would need to
meet the landscape criteria as it applies to that construction.
