This property has had no recent platting history although a street
was delineated on the north side of this parcel and a Conceptual
Planned Development was approved in May of 1999. Because of
a request to continue until January 20 the two development
proposals which are reflected by this plat, the Planning
Commission denied this request on December 16,1999.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare
contained within 110-120 feet of right of way. Proposed Town
Center Blvd. West will be a 27-foot wide local street allowing
access to the Coppell High School property.
Item #6
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- existing single-family development; PD-129, SF-9
South - vacant; "C', Commercial
East- Comerica Bank; "TC" Town Center
West - single family housing; SF- 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
retail, commercial uses.
DISCUSSION:
The Detailed PD which accompanies this application needs a great deal of
work before it is acceptable for review (see staff comments re: PD-178 R
and 178 PR). Landscaping requirements have not been followed,
stacking/fire lane issues are troublesome, and overall development
concepts need further refinement. That being the case, we can not
accurately evaluate this request as utility easemems, fire lanes, building
lines, etc. can not be accurately located on the plat documem umil the use,
building size, parking requirements, landscape easemems, etc. are known.
As stated in Case No. PD-178R, a redesign of that request is currently
underway. Depending upon that redesign, the submitted plat may or
may not be acceptable. Once staff has had an opportunity to review
that case, (supposedly before the public meeting of January 20, 2000)
we will be in a position to better recommend the appropriateness of
this plat.
This plat was resubmitted with Case No. PD-178R and R2. If staff
recommendation for zoning/site plan denial is followed, then this plat
wouM not reflect development possibilities. If, on the other hand,
approval was granted, this plat could be also.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends DENIAL of this application until the above listed issues
have been addressed, and we have had an opportunity to review a plat that
contains adequate and acceptable information meeting the City's minimum
development standards. Depending upon the outcome of PD-178 R and
R2, staff will either recommend approval or denial of thl.q plat.
We recommend denial of the plat in its present configuration. Based upon
the outcome of the zoning/site plan hearings, if approval was
recommended, then this plat could be approved provided volume and page
numbers are shown on the plat, PD approved setbacks are shown,
appropriate conditions placed upon the zoning/site plan are reflected on
