time, site plan approval was gran _ ___---- mA" ' '

property. Because the layout of the proposed lots within this
subdivision has been revised since the approval of the preliminary
plat, the subject property will occupy a portion of the original Lot 2,
creating lot 2A.

within a 120' wide right-of-way.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
light industrial/showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 4
The applicant is requesting Site Plan approval for the development of a
medical office building containing 4,477-square feet, served by 26 parking
spaces as required for a medical office use. Coppell Pediatric Associates
will occupy the proposed building. Access to the property wilt be
provided via a shared access easement connecting the properties to the
west and east.
Architecture
The proposed building will be one-story, measuring approximately 25' in
height to the peak. The primary building material will be red brick
(crimson), with buff colored split face concrete accents at the comers and
main entrance to the building. The roof will be constructed of a moss
colored cement shingle, accented with three dormers. The Building
Official has approved this alternative "slate" roofing material for use.
Eaves, gutters, doors and donners will be painted a buffcolor to match the
split face accents. The proposed medical building also contains a unique
architectural feature: a small covered planting area located at the front of
the building, next to the main entrance. This feature provides relief to the
building and allows for a variety of additional plantings.
An approximate 32 square-foot monument sign is proposed to be located
along Belt Line Road. The proposed sign will be constructed of a
combination of the same red brick and split face concrete utilized on the
Item# 13
building. Recessed black lettering carved into a pmcast concrete panel
will provide the business identification. The sign will sit parallel to Belt
Line Road instead of perpendicular, due to limited spacing at the front of
the site. Staff has requested that the applicant indicate the manner in
which the sign will be illuminated, which is not currently shown. The
applicant has indicated that a very small plaque will serve as attached
signage and will likely be placed on a column at the entrance to the
facility.
Landscape Plan
The proposed landscape plan fully provides the required interior, perimeter,
and non-vehicular landscape area. In order to address perimeter landscaping
along the western property line, which falls within the mutual access drive,
the applicant has provided the full 10' landscape buffer between the drive and
the west building wall, as well as adjacent to the west end of all parking rows.
Similar to the adjacent property, Angier's Professional Building (presently
under consideration), the landscaping is not provided in a traditional manner.
However, it is staff's interpretation that the design meets the spirit and intent
of the Zoning Ordinance in providing a buffer and relief between properties.
The plan contains minor inaccuracies which staff has recommended be
corrected.
As discussed above, another nontraditional aspect to the landscape plan is the
provision of a small covered planting area located to the east of the building's
main entrance. Site area limitations and the provision of a shared drive along
the western property line placed design obstacles on the landscape plan,
particularly open space. To address those obstacles, the applicant proposed a
covered planting area, satisfying the landscape area requirements and
maintaining the architectural continuity of the front facade. The covered area
contains a variety of shade-tolerant plantings supported by the City's
Landscape Manager. It is again staff's interpretation that this area meets the
spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
