Coppell Planning Commission initiated zoning hearing

Item # 12
The Historic District Overlay (HO) was first established with
approval of the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, authored by Hellmuth,
Obata, Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK). Further refinement and enlargement
of the Historic Designation boundary was suggested by the consultant
who created the Old Coppell Master Plan, Looney, Ricks, Kiss
(LRK) in 2002. City Council accepted the recommendation of LRK
TRANSPORTATION:
The major streets in the area are Coppell Road, a two lane asphalt
roadway which will eventually be an improved two-lane concrete
street within 50 feet of right of way. The other major street is Bethel
Road, also a two lane unimproved asphalt road eventually to be
improved as a two lane roadway with 50 feet of right of way through
the Old Coppell area.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
The area is basically adjacent to single family development on the
north and east, warehousing and distribution on the west (with one
small residential pocket along Loch Lane) and vacant, and non-
conforming residential on the south covered by LI, Light Industrial
and C, Commercial zoning.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows part of the property as
suitable for a historic overlay zoning classification.
DISCUSSION:
There are two aspects to this case. One, we need to amend
the 1996 Copper Comprehensive Plan to reflect the
recommendations of the 2002 Old Coppell Master Plan.
Two, we need to place zoning on the land that reflects the
changes made to the plan.
This is a Planning Commission authorized public hearing
to determine the boundaries of the Historic District in Old
Coppell. In May of 2002 City Council accepted the OM
Coppell Master Plan which was authored by our planning
consultant, Looney, Ricks, Kiss (LRK). The consultant
looked at the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and concluded that
the Historic District needed to be enlarged. To that end,
LRK recommended expanding the district from
approximately 60 to over 100 acres. In a discussion
between staff and the Planning Commission in March
2003, the Commission agreed with the consultant's
recommendation and further directed staff to add an
additional 3.8 acres of city owned land commonly referred
to as Hunterwood Park. We have done that, and the public
hearing regarding this issue includes all land shown on the
attachment.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Page 2 of 3
Staff recommends the 1996 Copper Comprehensive Plan be amended
to enlarge the Historic Overlay district as shown on the attached map.
We further recommend approval of the Historic Overlay District being
Item# 12
enlarged to include all land shown on the attachment. By enlarging the
District, more of a "critical mass" results. In addition, the entire area of
Grapevine Springs Park and the remainder of Hunterwood Park would
be covered by the overlay district, bringing zoning consistency to our
parkland.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) 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.
