APPLICANT: Page 1 of 4 Owner~ Mr. & Mrs. Chds Conoboy 508 Rocky Branch Rd. Coppell, TX 75019 (972) 745-0668 FAX: (972) 692-7541 Walter Nelson Walter Nelson and Associates Arlington, TX 76014 (817) 265-6738 FAX: (817)265-0206 Item #5 Developer: Jon Smith Smith Builders 143 S. Moore Rd. Coppell, TX 75019 (972) 462-0545 CELL: (214) 682-7990 HISTORY: This property has been zoned Historic Overlay for quite some time. There has been recent planning activity in the immediate area which affects the subject property, including the OM Coppell Master Plan, which was discussed and accepted by City Council in April of 2002. On May 13, 2003, Council amended the land use component of the 1996 Comprehensive P/an and enlarged the Historic Overlay district, as proposed in the OM Coppell Ma~ter P/an and as recommended in April 2003 by the Planning Commission. The applicant is now requesting a PD on this parcel to convert the residential structure to a consulting office. TRANSPORTATION: Coppell Road is an unimproved, two-lane asphalt street contained within a 60- foot right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - single-family residential; HO-R (Historic Overlay-Retail) South - vacant (Carter-Crowley fidd); HO-LI (Historic Overlay-Light Industrial) East - vacant; HO-R (Historic Overlay-Retail) West - Farmers Market; LI (Light Industrial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for Historic District classification to include small-scale residential/retall/office/commerdal uses. In April of 2002, the Old Coppell Master Plan recommended mixed uses with a retail and service concentration for the subject property. DISCUSSION: Within the Zoning Ordinance, a Special Use Permit (SUP) is necessary to convert the existing residential structure to a commercial use. A Planned Development (PD) includes the requirements of the SUP and can better address the special conditions of the property. Parking Area The proposed asphalt material for the parking lot is acceptable within the Historic Overlay District and will be included as one of the conditions within the PD The structure is 2,480-square~feet, and with the ratio of 1 space per 300-square-feet, eight parking spaces are required. Six are proposed and are shown in the rear of the property, as recommended by the OM Coppell Master Plan. Staff believes six spaces are sufficient for this use based on number of employees (5 maximum). The reason for the Page 2 of 4 Item #5 unusual configuration is the attempt to preserve four large Pecan trees. The proposed drive aisle width (17') located on the south side of the structure is proposed to be a PD condition, a waiver to the 24' normally required. A PD condition is also required for the perimeter landscape requirement along the south side, due to it being used for the asphalt drive aisle. Staff can support these conditions being added to the Planned Development as the applicant is attempting to conform to the recommendations of the Old Coppell Master Plan. Setbacks The existing structure is legal nonconforming with regard to meeting the setback requirements of the Retail District; therefore, allowing for the existing setbacks of the house to be placed as a condition of the PD will bring the house into conformance. Landscaping Plan and Tree Preservation Four Live Oaks are proposed for the rear yard and three are proposed for the front yard. The applicant is preserving four large Pecan trees in the rear (28", 18", 24" and 41" caliper). One 18-caliper-inch Pecan and an 8- caliper-inch Pistache are proposed to be preserved in the front yard of the property. One 20-caliper-inch Elm and one 3-caliper-inch Oak are proposed to be removed due to the asphalt drive. The applicant has offset any mitigation fees by the tree preservation and landscaping proposed. Elevations / Signage The proposed elevations depict the addition of cultured stone in the conversion of the garage and redesign of the entry. The proposed sign is to be of a high-density urethane (HDU) foam construction that is a simulated wood grain. The dimensions depicted are 60" wide by 36" tall. The company logo, "lc data solutions, llc" and "Est. 2003" will be the only information on the sign. The colors shown are blue, white, green and black for the lettering and brown for the background. The sign is proposed to be hung parallel to the roofline between two of the stone columns on the from porch, as shown in the sign placement exhibit. The sign is proposed to be externally lit with a spotlight shining up at the sign. Staff recommends a light shining down on the sign. so as not to spill over into the surrounding properties. Bollard type lighting is proposed for the parking area. This is less intrusive than the typical lighting plan, and staff'feels this is more appropriate for the historic overlay district.
