REQUEST:
S-1223-TC (Special Use Permit-1223-Town Center) to allow the
operation of a 1,650-square-foot restaurant with 648-square-foot

APPLICANT:
Thomas Chapman
955 East Bethel School Road
Coppell, Texas 75019
Phone & Fax # (972) 462-8381
HISTORY:
This property, as well as surrounding properties, was zoned TC
(Town Center) in the mid 1980's. In September 2001, City
Council approved a Site Plan for this tract of property to allow for
the development of a 12,975-square-foot retail/office/medical
building, subject to "the elimination of the drive-through area to
meet on-site landscape requirements of the Coppell Zoning
Ordinance." In June of 2003, Council approved a one-year
extension of the Site Plan. Currently, the site is under construction,

Item # 4
and a SUP for a 1,500-square-foot Carvel Ice Cream (restaurant
use) is anticipated to be approved September 14, 2004.
TRANSPORTATION:
Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane-divided thoroughfare within a
100-foot right-of-way. Town Center Boulevard has 28-foot-wide
pavement within a variable right-of-way. Adjacent to the subject
property, there is 37 feet of right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North- First American Bank -TC (Town Center)
South - Eleanor's Square shopping center -TC (Town Center)
East - Coppell Justice Center -TC (Town Center)
West - Huntington Ridge subdivision; PD-129R-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
Page 2 of 3
This request is to allow a 2,298-square-foot Taco Del Mar
restaurant to occupy a lease space with a patio within the retail
building currently under construction between Eleanor's Square
and the First American Bank along the east side of Denton Tap
Road. This restaurant will provide dine-in and carry-out
services. The applicant has requested that the hours of operation
not exceed 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week.
Per the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, parking for this
use is required at a ratio of one space per 100-square feet, thus
requiring 23 parking spaces. As discussed in the HISTORY
section of this report, when the Site Plan for this property was
approved, it was subject to "the removal of the proposed drive-
through to provide all of the required landscaping on-site." The
revised Site Plan indicates a slightly reduced building size
(12,732-square-feet), an increase in number of parking spaces,
and no drive-through. The drive-through paving was replaced
with landscaping and the 648-square-foot patio area for this
restaurant use. Nine parking spaces have also been added along
Town Center Blvd., while complying with the provisions of the
Landscape Ordinance. These additional parking spaces bring the
total parking count on this property to 92 spaces. This will allow
for a total of 5,020-square feet of restaurant use, including the
outdoor patio area, and the remaining 8,360-square feet of
Item # 4
building to be used for retail uses. If any medical offices are
proposed, then the restaurant use area would be reduced, as the
parking ratio for a medical office is one space per 175-square feet
of lease area.
This building has been designed with two fronts, one on Denton
Tap and one on Town Center Blvd. This lease space will have 22
feet of frontage and entry doors on both streets. Therefore, a 22-
square-foot sign is permitted on two faCades. The applicant has
chosen the north and west elevations for signage. The sign face
(Taco Del Mar) is proposed to be white-channel letters totaling
21.6-square feet. It will have bronze trim caps and returns, and
each letter will be mounted on a 6" wireway, painted to match the
brick. All signage within the shopping center will be in accordance
with the attached "Signage Criteria for the Village at Town
Center".
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of S-1223-TC for a Taco Del Mar restaurant, subject
to the following conditions:
1) The property shall be developed in accordance with the site plan, floor plan
and sign plan.
2) The hours of operation shall not exceed 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
