contained within a 110' right-of-way.

ITEM 6
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows a mixed use plan for this area, but
specifically excludes multi-family. The plan indicates a high intensity area
for office and retail. The tract directly to the north is included in the
mixed use area, and is owned by the same property owner, Barbara
Austin. Ms. Austin has submitted a PD plan for single-family
development on her adjoining parcel, which makes the request suitable
according to the plan.
ANALYSIS: Ms. Austin is requesting rezoning of this tract in order to comply with the
Comprehensive Plan which suggests a mixed-use for Austin Place. The
2.84 acre tract is the remaining parcel out of the overall 13.64 acre Austin
tract. The property to the north which is also owned by Austin, is being
presented separately as a zoning request for PD-Single-Family (PD-130).
A detailed site plan has not been submitted since this is a straight zoning
case.
A general overall view of the area, shows that commercial is a more
appropriate use of the property. This land is surrounded by commercial
zoning and commercial uses, consisting of a grocery store, day care
center, and a retail strip center. Another reason for favoring the rezoning
request is that Sandy Lake Road is the major east/west roadway through
Coppell, and a large volume of traffic will be traveling adjacent to this
tract making single-family inappropriate along the intersection of Sandy
Lake Road and Moore Road. Sandy Lake Road will become a four lane
divided thoroughfare in the near future. Dedication of right-of-way from
Sandy Lake and also Moore Road adjacent to the parcel will be required
when the platting of this property occurs.
A 45-foot wide gas line easement presently exists along the portion of the
property parallel to Moore Road. The applicant has been working on an
agreement with Lone Star Gas to ensure that minimal encroachment
occurs on the property.
Lone Star Gas suggests the use of Pavestone on the sidewalks along the
Austin property, however, this is not feasible due to the fact that a
concrete base must be poured for the best possible results of Pavestone.
Lone Star Gas wants the ability to gain access to their pipeline rather
quickly, but their proposed solution (Pavestone) requires the pouring of
concrete just as a sidewalk does. Since Pavestone is an unnecessary
expense to the developer, (which would eventually be passed on to
homeowners) and it is also not required by ordinance, staff is not in favor
of this request by Lone Star Gas.
In summary, staff recommends approval of the request because it complies
with the Master Plan and because of the surrounding uses, a zoning
change is warranted in order to allow suitable development for the area.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the zoning change request
2) Deny the zoning change request
3) Modify the zoning change request
ATYACHMENTS: 1) Zoning Exhibit
2) Letter to Barbara Austin from Lone Star Gas
