In 1993, Council approved S-1067 to convert the exisnng
residential structure on the front of this property to an office/gift
shop and to allow for nine asphalt parking spaces. The parking, as
shown on the approved site plan, was never provided. In 1998, S-
I 146 was established to allow for the structure to be occupied by
Blue Willow Market Design, conditioned upon the sign being
limited to 10-square feet, the retail being limited to a maximum of
400-square feet, and the six parking spaces to be provided as
shown on the revised site plan, which was to be screened by a
landscape hedge. This company never occupied the building, but
the parking was constructed in accordance with the site plan that
was attached to the Ordinance. However, there is no indication
Item # 5
that the landscape hedge was ever installed around the parking lot.
An office user, Gaylor/Smith, which was administratively
approved, is currently occupying the building.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bethel Road is a two-lane asphalt roadway shown on the
thoroughfare plan as a C2U undivided collector. The Old Coppell
Master Plan recommends that Bethel Road contain a variable right-
of-way to allow for on-street parking where appropriate.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The OM Coppell Master Plan shows the southern half of
the property as suitable for mixed retail/service uses and the
northern half for residential uses.
DISCUSSION:
The current request is to allow the relocation and
occupancy of a 160 square-foot building that was
previously used for storage. The intended use is an
office. Included in the plans is a 96 square-foot addition
to accommodate a restroom, bringing the total square
footage of the building to 256. The applicant has stated
that this request is to allow for her son, who lives on
Mitchell Street, to use this building as his office for his air
conditioning business. This user would require no
additional parking because he can walk from his
residence, and no truck traffic is anticipated. However,
per the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, one
additional parking space would be required for this 256
square-foot office. In reviewing the existing development
on the site, there is currently an office building containing
1,567-square feet. The proposed office will bring the
total square footage to 1,823- square feet. Based on the
parking ratio of one space per 300-square feet for office, six
spaces would be required. There are six existing spaces;
therefore, no additional parking would be required to serv'e
this use. When this parking configuration was approved in
Item//5

1998, it was conditioned upon the provision of a
landscaped screening hedge. Therefore, the utilization of
this existing parking could be supported, subject to this
previously agreed to landscaping being provided.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of HO-R-S-1146R to allow
for the relocation and expansion of an existing structure, subject
tO:
1) Landscaping being provided as indicated on the attached site
plan.
2) The development of the property shall be in accordance with
the revised site plan.
ALTERNATIVES: I) 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.
