City of Coppell Development Review Committee Comments Planning Department PD-194R, Amberpoint Business Park Detail Plan for Staples S.W.C. of Sandy Lake and Northpoint DRC Date: August 29, 2002 and September 5, 2002 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting: September 19, 2002 City Council Meeting: October 8, 2002 Site Plan 1. There appears to be discrepancies in the number of parking spaces indicated on the site plan, the data table and number of spaces indicated per row, including adjacent to southern property line and Northpoint Drive. These inconsistencies need to be rectified. 2. Need to add the specific PD Conditions of the variances being requested to the LI Disthct regulations and Landscape Ordinance on the Site Plan as discussed below: 3. Per Section 12-31-6.18 of the Zoning Ordinance, parking for warehouse is required as follows: "One parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift plus space to accommodate all trucks and other vehicles used in connection therewith, but not less than one parking space for each 1,000 square feet of floor area ". If less parking than one to 1,000 is requested, it can be included as a Condition to this PD, as long as the required parking of one space per 1000 square feet can be provided, on site, without infringing on the required landscaping. It must be noted however, that it is paramount that one parking space is provided for each employee on the maximum working shift. 4. Along the southern property line, there are several runs of parking which exceed the maximum of 15 spaces between parking islands, this needs to be revised to be in accordance with the landscape ordinance. 5. As part of the approved Concept Site Plan for this PD specific locations of monument sign were designated, as well as sign design criteria. As part of this Detail Plan approval: · The permitted sign is being requested to be relocated. A PD Condition must specify a variance to the12-29-4.2.(B) of the Zoning Ordinance which requires that signs be placed a minimum of 75 feet from property lines, other than street. Given that the location of the monument sign is already designated on the property to the south, and the separation will exceed the required 150 feet, it would be reasonable to place the sign in this location, however, it must be verified that it is outside of the sight visibility triangle. · The PD also specified as black letters, this submittal indicates red letters, this would also be a variance to the PD. 6. Per Sec. 12-35-1. Of the Zoning Ordinance: "each building and structure used for or accessory to non-residential or multi- family residential purposes shall be considered a principal building", Page l of 2 therefore, the building needs to meet all regulations as the main structure, including materials and setback. The security building, which appears to be 400 square feet in size, does not meet the 60 foot setback requirement nor the 80% masonry requirement (EFIS is not considered a masonry product). If located outside of the sight visibility triangle, the setback may be waived as part of the PD, however, it is recommended that the building materials be in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. Please provide dimensions of this security building. 7. Correct the zoning in the data table as follows · Existing Zoning- PD194 to PD 194R 8. Along the southern property line there is a note stating "LANDSCAPE (TYP)", but it is unclear what it is referring to. Landscape Plan The Data Table on the landscape plan needs to be revised to reflect the correct number of parking spaces being provided on the site plan. Landscape plan needs to be revised to add the required landscape island every 15 parking spaces, the requested variance is not recommended. It appears that the 51,949 square feet of non-vehicular landscaping is being provided north of the property, as designated by the Phase Line, while this could be considered "off-site" it may be considered in this phase of development if assurances are provided that when the remainder of the site is developed all of the non-vehicular landscaping will still be provided. (another PD Condition) Notes: · Need to calculate Tree Mitigation requirements per the Ordinance, financial considerations will be provided though another venue. Verify the calculation that 32 parking islands provided, it appears that only 24 islands are shown on the plans. This may need to be adjusted depending on the final parking count. Elevations 1. Appears to be the same elevations as was approved for the 1 st building, except for the additional canopies over the loading docks. Note: A. Please revise plats, site plans, landscape plans, and building elevations based on staff recommendations. Should applicant disagree with staff comments please provide reasons why staff recommendations should not be followed when you attend the September 5th Development Review Committee (DRC) meeting.
