listed retail/commercial, residential, mixed use, and
churches as desirable uses More specifically related to the
residential component, he recommended a variety of types,
heights, setbacks, typical screening, and building materials

Old Coppell Master Plan
A continuing and growing interest in the area resulted from
the Comprehensive Plan, and to further elaborate and
clarify it, Council authorized a consultant study in
November of 2001 to refine the Plan and be more specific
with uses to be included in the area. The Old Coppell
,Waster Plan (an approximate 100-acre land area) addressed
that issue and was accepted by City Council in April of
2002. This plan presented a much more detailed analysis
of the area than the earlier Comprehenstve Plan and
included the additional topics of urban design, streetscapes,
landscaping features, access and parking, among others. In
addition, detailed study was done on the appropriateness of
a residential component, where it should be located, its
density, building type, construction materials, and so on.
The Old Coppell Plan proposed additional single-family
and townhouse use for the area ~ncluded in this request and
the application being considered here reflects that
recommendation.

session with the Planning Commission on December 10,
2002, to review potential noise impacts on residential
development. Representatives of the airport were in
attendance and stated they could take official action on
only those residential projects which were within the 65
Ldn flight noise contour, although they might be opposed
to any residential construction beyond that contour In
looking at the possibility of noise irritation specified by
D/FW Airport noise guidelines, this proposal lies more than
1100 feet outside the 65 Ldn contour. It is, therefore, not a
major factor in staff analysis of detenmning ~hether this
