C.C. HEARING DATE: March 11, 1997
LOCATION: North of Denton Creek and south of S.H. 121 Bypass.
SIZE OF AREA: 26.57 acres
CURRENT ZONING: MF-2, HC, C and LI (Multi Family-2, Highway Commercial,

REQUEST: SF-7 (Single Family-7)
APPLICANT: Applicant: Representative:
Coppell Independent School District Glenn Engineering, Inc.
200 S. Denton Tap Road 100 Decker Court, Ste. 250
Coppell, TX 75019 Irving, TX 75062
(972) 471-1111 (972) 717-5151
HISTORY: No zoning history. The preliminary plat for the CoppeH Middle School
was approved by City Council on February 11, 1997.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, a six-lane divided (120 foot r.o.w.);
currently, a two-lane roadway; the S.H. 121 Bypass will be built
to freeway standards with access roads in 450 feet of r.o.w. (The
service roads from the Tarrant County line to The Colony are
scheduled for completion within 2 1/2 years. The timing of the
upgrade to freeway status is dependent upon whether or not the
project is approved as a toll road.)
Item # 11
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North S.H. 121 Bypass; City of Lewisville
South - Andrew Brown East Park; "TC" Town Center zoning
East - vacant; "MF-2" Multi-Family zoning
West - vacant; PD-133-SF-9 & 12, FP and HC (Planned Development,
Single Family-9 & 12, Floodplain and Highway Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
residential uses.
DISCUSSION: Current zoning on this 26.5 acres of land does not permit the
development of a public school. At staff suggestion, the applicant
is amenable to rezoning this parcel of land to a Single Family-7
zoning classification which permits public schools and would be
consistent with the nearby zoning of land immediately to the east
of this site owned by Vista Properties.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of the zoning request.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the zoning change
2) Recommend disapproval of the zoning change
3) Recommend modification of the zoning change
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Zoning Exhibit
