HISTORY:
TRANSPORTATION:
The property has been zoned SF-12 for over 25 years. The
Shadydale Acres subdivision has been recorded for 50 years
or more. On September 17, 1998, the Planning Commission
denied a PD for 14 single-family lots on 4.15 acres out of this
subdivision. On December 8, 1998, City Council granted a
PD to allow the development of 13 residential lots on 4.16
acres of property located along the south side of Willow
Lane, between Oak Trail and Shadydale Lane.
Sandy Lake Road is a two-lane asphalt road within a variable-width
fight-of-way, shown on the thoroughfare plan as a C4D four-lane
divided collector street to be built within a 110'- wide right-of-way.
Item # 5
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- residential; "SF-12" Single Family-12
South - GTE switching center and vacant; "R" Retail
East - retail; "C" Commercial
West - residential; "SF-12" Single Family-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
DISCUSSION:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
low density residential.
Without proper commercial zoning in place staff can not
recommend approval of a non-residential, office facility in
a residential district. However, if the Commission does
approve the zoning change request from Single Family-12
to Commercial staff recommends following the site plan
review discussion and staffs conditions of approval listed
below.
The applicant is proposing a single-story office structure
measuring 4,342 square feet. As a non-residential use
abutting to single-family residences, the applicant is
proposing to screen the commercial use with a 6'-high brick
masonry wall along the western and northern property lines.
There will be no screening wall treatment along the eastern
property since the adjacent property is zoned Commercial.
The applicant will be screening the 4 parking spaces along
the eastern property line with 30"-high dwarf burford holly
hedge. The site plan shows a total of 17 parking spaces, 2
parking spaces over the city minimum requirements.
The building elevations show a brick masonry structure in
earthtone colors. The property does not have enough street
frontage on Sandy Lake Road to merit a monument sign.
However, the submitted documents indicate that the
attached signs will consist of individually mounted channel
letter signs in white or beige. Due to this proximity to
single-family residences, the applicant is limiting the height
of the parking lot light fixtures to 20', and the parking lights
will be mined off at 11:00 p.m. daily. The building
elevations also indicate a hip roof with composition
shingles. The dumpster will be located at the southeast
comer of the building and it will be screened with a 6'-high
brick masonry screening wall. Staff requests that the
elevations specify the color and building material of the
dumpster gates. Also, furnished on the plans are notations
that no outside storage will be permitted on premise and
that all utility meters will not be visible except from areas
Item # 5
clearly intended as service areas where the public is
generally excluded.
The submitted site plan does indicate that the applicant is
exceeding the minimum landscaping requirements.
However, the required non-vehicular landscaping is
incorrectly shown on the landscape data. The required
amount is 2,615.7 sf instead of the 1,765 sf reported. The
total required landscaping is correctly shown. The
proposed plant material conforms to the city plant palette.
The Leisure Services Department has reviewed the
proposed tree survey and has indicated that the applicant
owes $9,200 to the Coppell Reforestation Fund. Also, a
tree removal permit must be executed prior to the removal
of any protected trees on site.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Without proper commercial zoning in place staff can not
recommend approval of a non-residential, office facility in
a residential district. However, if the Commission does
approve the zoning change request from Single Family-12
to Commercial staff recommends the following conditions
being met:
1) Specify the color and building material of the dumpster
gates on the building elevations.
2) Revise landscape data to reflect 2,615.7 sf of required
non-vehicular open space.
3) The applicant owes $9,200 to the Coppell Reforestation
Fund. (See Leisure Services Department comments)
4) A tree removal permit must be executed prior to the
removal of any protected trees on site. (See Leisure
Services Department comments.)
5) A licensed irrigator must sign the irrigation plan.
6) A replat submission will be required prior to securing a
building permit.
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.
