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.

Description of Building 717 S Coppell Rd
Front of Building (East Elevation - Figure A)
There are three proposed changes to the front of the building. All changes
mentioned below are illustrated on thc attached full page East Elevation - Front of
Building document. One is the removal of the garage doors to be replaced by two
windows and a white cultured stone. The second change is to enhance the front pillars on
the porch by covering the pillars with the same cultured stone that is used in the garage
door area. The pillars would become square instead of round. The third change is to
include an ornamental iron railing on the porch in between the front pillars parallel to the
building. The railing will also be placed between the last pillar and the building
(perpendicular to the building) on the North facing side of the porch. The rest of the front
will retain the same look. The salmon colored brick will not be changed. Photos of the
existing salmon colored brick are attached.
Side of Building (South Elevation - Figure D)
This side of the building will retain the same look including keeping the salmon
colored brick. Photos of the existing salmon colored brick are attached.
Back of Building (West Elevation - Figure B)
The wood enclosed deck will be removed from the back of the building. This side
of the building will retain the same look including keeping the sahnon colored brick.
Photos of the existing salmon colored brick are attached.
Side of Building (North Elevation - Figure C)
This side of the building will retain the same look including keeping the salmon
colored brick. Photos of the existing sahnon colored brick are attached
