HISTORY:
Block 6 is part of a replat approved in late 1994. The applicant
currently is building an office-warehouse structure on Lot 1 of
Block 7.
TRANSPORTATION:
Wrangler Drive is a 2-lane road shown on the thoroughfare plan
as a C4U, 4-lane undivided collector street within a 70' r.o.w..
Airline Drive is a C4U, 4-lane undivided collector street within a

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The 1987 Comprehensive Plan shows industrial uses as best
suited for this area.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant proposes to build a mirror image of the development on Lot
1, Block 7, on this site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting City
Council waiver of loading dock screening requirements, as was granted
on Lot 1, Block 7. The screening requirements are detailed in paragraph
4 of Section 33-1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Paragraph 8 of that same
section provides that City Council may waive or modify, in exceptional
cases, the requirements of the section.
Screening of loading areas facing a street is required to be parallel to all
streets and located 30 feet from the street r.o.w line. However, that
distance may be reduced to 15 feet provided that a landscape plan has
been submitted and approved by the Planning Commission. The purpose
of submitting the landscape plan for Commission review and approval at
this time is to authorize the location of the loading area pavement within
15 feet of the street rights-of-way.
The landscape plan submitted is for Lot 1, Block 7, across the street. The
request is for a mirror image of this same plan to be approved for Block
6. If a 13.8935 acre site is to be subdivided out of Block 6, Prentice
Properties will have to file a replat for your review.
RECOMMENDATION:
While staff is of the opinion that screening parking and loading
areas, concealing electric service, and placing commercial loading
docks and residential garages to the rear of properties fosters the
kind of visual image the City of Coppell seeks to achieve; it would
be inconsistent to prohibit on the opposite side of the same street
a mirror image of a development recently approved and under
construction. Therefore, staff recommends approval for Block 6
of a mirror image of the landscape plan for Lot 1, Block 7.
ATrACHMENTS:
1) Approve the Landscape Plan
2) Disapprove the Landscape Plan
3) Modify the Landscape Plan
