In December 1998, Council approved a site plan and preliminary
plat with three lots totaling 32.82 acres for this tract of property.
In 1999 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the final
plat for 7.31 acres. The approved site plan was for a 103,611-
square-foot (2-story) office building, which has since been
constructed.
Item#7
In March of this year, Council approved a site plan amendment
for this office building, allowing for an emergency generator with
screening wall to be located in close proximity to the east end of
this building. Per the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission, the screening wall was revised to
incorporate various design features of the existing office building
(spandrel glass and reveals). This approval was also subject to
the condition that in the event this generator is no longer needed,
the generator, screening walls and non-required landscaping shall
be removed.
TRANSPORTATION:
LBJ Freeway is a full-service freeway built to standard. This tract
may be accessed from the Freeport Parkway exit. Dividend Drive
was constructed with this development and is located at the nothern
edge of this tract. This street contains enhanced pavement and
landscaping and is the entry road into the Gateway Business Park.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
South - LBJ Freeway
East - Coppell Middle School West; C (Commercial)
West - vacant; LI (Light Industrial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
freeway commercial uses.
DISCUSSION:
As discussed in the HISTORY section, this area was
originally platted as a three-lot subdivision, one lot north
and two lots south of Dividend Drive. The current request
is to realign the common property line between the southern
two lots to add approximately 13,200-square feet of
property to Lot 2 to allow for the construction of 32
parking spaces. This will result in a decrease in acreage of
Lot 1 from 4.72 acres to 4.41 acres, and an enlargement of
Lot 2 from 7.31 acres to 7.61 acres.
All of the easements and the fire lane have been brought
forward from the original plat and are correctly delineated
on the replat; however, metes and bounds descriptions of
both the fire lane and the entire tract are required to be
included. Therefore, approval is recommended subject to
the inclusion of these two metes and bounds descriptions.
