743 Kings Lane 16250 Dallas Parkway

(214) 223-4261 931-0694
HISTORY: There has been no recent zoning history on the parcel

(P6D), contained within a 110 foot r.o.w. Bethel School Road is
an improved, two-lane street, and is not on the Thoroughfare Plan
Item 9
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - residential and vacant; SF-9 and C
South - vacant; C
Fast - vacant; C
West - developing single-family; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows low-density residential as most appropriate here.
ANALYSIS: Because the plan shows this as low density residential, and the fact that the
adjacent tract is a developing SF-12 parcel, staff feels the proposal is appropriate
for the area. Of minor concern is the lack of alleys on lots that are not adjacent
to open space (5 lots), but that is a platting concern which will be addressod
during our platting discussion.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning request
2) Deny the zoning request
3) Modify the zoning request

Staff recommended denial of this request tbr the following reasons: 1) the site is much too small
for the building being proposed; 2) the site plan originally showed two curb cuts and the
Applicant has agreed to only one curb cut; 3) possibly an inappropriate use of this location; 4)
the second lot which is located behind the site; 5) applicant would be asking for a sign variance;
6) MUD problem; and 7) design of the facility itself. Notwithstanding the concerns of Staff,
