HISTORY:
Page l of 3
This property has been zoned Historic Overlay for quite some time.
There has been recent development activity on the subject property,
including the OM Coppell Master Plan, which was discussed and
accepted by City Council in April of 2002. In August of 2002,
Council questioned the residential component of the Plan, particularly
as it related to the D/FW Airport flight patterns and noise concerns.
Item//5
In December Council and the Planning Commission held a joint
workshop to discuss the noise issue, among others. On May 13, 2003,
Council amended the land use component of the 1996
Comprehensive Plan and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as
proposed in the OM Uoppell Master Plan and as recommended in
April by the Planning Commission. In July the current applicant
applied for and was granted a Conceptual Planned Development for
construction of 21 single-family units (19 townhouses and 2
freestanding residences), a recreational area, and two commemial
buildings on the 3.8-acm tract. The Preliminary Plat and Detail Site
Plan were submitted for review in the last quarter of 2003 and
approvals were granted in December of 2003.
TRANSPORTATION:
Coppell Road is an unimproved, two-lane asphalt street contained
within a 50- to 60-foot right-of-way. It is projected to be improved to
a concrete two-lane undivided road in 60-feet of right-of-way with
construction beginning in mid-2005.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- single-family residential; PD-SF7
South conunercial; HO-C
East - single-family; PD-SF-7
West- light industrial; PD-LI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property
as suitable for Historic District classification to include
small-scale residential/retail/office/commercial uses. In
April of 2002, the Old Coppell Master Plan recommended
comparable uses with more detailed residential application
on the subject property.
DISCUSSION:
From the City's perspective, this is the final step required
before construction of these townhouses can begin.
Commission and Council have approved the PD and
Preliminary Plat. The applicant has provided the
information staff needed to process this subdivision, and
we are in a position to recommend approval of the Final
Plat.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Item #5
