HISTORY:
The property has been zoned industrial for more than 25 years. The property
was originally platted in 1984. More recently, the Coppell City Council
approved a replat on this tract of land on December 8, 1998. A special
exemption to allow a reduction in the number of parking spaces from 290 to
80 was granted by the Board of Adjustment on January 7, 1999.
TRANSPORTATION:
Royal Lane is a C4D/6 four-lane divided collector built to standard
in a 10ft-wide right-of-way capable of accommodation a 6-lane
divided thoroughfare.

COMPREHENSWE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial and showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this replat is to allow the recordation of
additional utility easements, correction of the inside radii of
a number of fire lanes shown on the plat from 20.50' to
30.50' and modification of the width of the southern fire
lane from 30.25' to 24'. The original site plan had a number
of planting islands encroaching on the fire lane, however by
decreasing the width of the fire lane the easement is clear of
any infringement.
With this submittal, the applicant included a site plan
reflecting the parking reduction granted by the Board of
Adjustment last January. All parking and the track court is
located along the southern side of the facility. The
previously approved site plan showed 23 track parking
spaces, while this plan shows 19. The elimination of 4
track stalls allows for the creation of a landscape area
between the facility and the track court. Also, 8 additional
parking spaces are being proposed east of the 4 handicap
parking spaces. Another 5 parking spaces are being
proposed at the southeast comer of the parking lot. One of
staff concerns pertains to the 5 additional parking spaces
and the western planting island. The island does not
measure 150 square feet in area and is not 9' wide nor does
it contain a tree.
The other concern relates to the proposed 42,800 sf
building expansion and future parking spaces shown on the
landscape plan that are not reflected on the Site Plan. A
clarification is requested with regards to any future on-site
expansion.
Item# 6
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the replat subject to the following conditions being met:

fire lane on the Replat.

150 square feet of landscaped area and a minimum width of 9'. Also, the island must
contain at least 1 tree.
3)
Revise the landscape plan to reflect the proposed changes and submit a copy of the
new plan for staff approval prior to the recordation of the replat.
4) Any furore expansion should be shown on both the Site Plan and Landscape Plan.
5)
