HEARING DATE: October 17, 2002 November 12, 2002 STAFF REP.: Gary L. Sieb, Planning Director LOCATION: SIZE OF AREA: Park West Commerce Center, Lot 4, Block 7, Site Plan Amendment, 425 Airline Drive 9.4215 acres of property. CURRENT ZONING: LI(Lightlndustrial) REQUEST: APPLICANT: Page 1 of 3 Amendment to the Site Plan to allow an exterior dust collector and accessory uses within an approximate 3,600 square-foot screened enclosure. This addition will be added to an existing 115,000 square-foot building. Applicant: BMC W South Central L.P. 425 Airline Drive, Suite 200 Coppell, TX. 75019 (972) 304-1234 Fax: (972) 304-1209 Pross Design Group, Inc. Mark W. Pross 2607 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 100 Dallas, TX. 75229 (214) 350-5602 Fax: (214) 350-7344 Item# 10 HISTORY: TRANSPORTATION: There has been no recent development history on the subject parcel, as the BMC property (commonly referred to as the Lone Star Plywood building) has been occupied since the early 1990's. Airline Drive is an improved C4U, four-lane undivided thoroughfare built to standard with a 70 foot right-of-way that carries a substantial amount of warehouse traffic. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North -warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) South - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) East - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) West - warehousing; LI (Light Industrial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for office, showroom, warehousing and light industrial uses. DISCUSSION: This is a straightforward case in that the applicant proposes to construct an ancillmy addition to an existing light manufacturing use. Lone Star Plywood has been at this location since the early 1990's and wishes to add a dust collector to the facility. In adding the collector, the applicant proposes to screen it with a 17 foot-high masonry fence. The screen will complement the facade of the existing building and include rearranged landscape planting. The addition is approximately 62 by 57.5 feet and contains 3,565-square feet of screened area. Being somewhat taller than the collector, it should do an adequate job of screening the equipment it contains. A note on the site plan (Sheet A3.1) states that a concrete block wall will be constructed with a brick veneer surface to match the color of the band at the top of the existing building. The applicant has provided staff with a color board of the brick being used for the screening wall, as well as color of the 24 foot by 16 foot metal swing gate. The color board indicates the wall will be of a cream colored brick emulating the surface of the existing building, not the accent strip at the top. That discrepancy needs to be resolved at the Planning Commission meeting to ensure compatibility with the existing structure. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Based upon the fact that this addition will not adversely affect the surrounding development, is screened with landscaping, and the screen will match a portion and complement the remainder of the existing building, staff can support this request. We would add that the color Item # 10 Page 2 of 3 board, with a sample of the brick to be used in the screening wall, appears to be in conflict with Sheet A3.1. We believe the brick screening wall will emulate the surface of the existing building, not the accent strip at the top as indicated on Sheet A3.1. With that point clarified, staff supports this request. ALTERNATIVES: 1) 2) 3) Recommend approval of the request.
