Mr. Casey Ross, EIT 5225 Village Creek Drive, Suite 200 Plano, TX. 75093 (972) 931-0694 Fax (972) 931-9538 Page 1 of 5 Item #5 HISTORY: In March, a 22.5-acre lot was replatted into two lots. The western 14.8-acre lot is the site of a future health-care facility approved by Council in 1998. The remaining 7.7-acre parcel is proposed to be developed with six one- and two-story medical/office buildings and is the subject of this rezoning application. TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a P6D, six-lane divided thoroughfare (120 feet of right-of-way). State Highway 121 is trader construction and being built to freeway standards. It currently contains one-way access roads, each 33 feet wide within 450 feet of right-of-way. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North - single-family residences; City of Lewisville South - State Highway 121; City of Lewisville East - vacant land; City of Lewisville West - vacant land (Presbyterian Medical Center proposal); HC (Highway Commercial) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as suitable for regional retail use. DISCUSSION: This is a request to implement a land use proposal first explored with the Planning Commission and City Council in March. At that time, the applicant replatted a 22-acre site into two lots, one containing the 1998 approved Presbyterian Hospital development, the second lot showed an exhibit detailing an eventual medical/office building complex. The exhibit presented in March showed an overall development including a circulation plan, landscaping concept, residential and office/medical uses in both Lewisville and Coppell. The property in Coppell was proposed for all office/medical space, while the Lewisville properties were envisioned to contain residential, as well as office uses. It is our understanding that Lewisville has approved 101, 2-3 story townhouse units on their land, with office/commercial development being allowed east of the Coppell city limits along the 121 frontage road (to a depth of approximately 250 feet). This application details the uses for Coppell and contains a little over 62,700-square feet of office space in six buildings, with two major landscape areas. The two buildings adjacent to State Highway 121 are to be two-story structures of 16,000- and 18,000-square feet, and the Item #5 Page 2 of 5 Page 3 of 5 interior four, one-story buildings will contain anywhere from 6500 to 7900-square feet each. All offices are architecturally compatible and share the same brick material, colors, roof pitches, shingles, and several detail features. The applicant plans to develop this project over a number of years and will begin with one of the two-story buildings adjacent to 121. An interesting concept of the plan calls for a roundabout feature acting as both a circulation element and a focal point for the overall office development. Extensive landscaping complements design of the roundabout and adds to the unique concept being proposed on this site. In that this plan basically follows the earlier replat containing a conceptual development plan, staff can support this request. There are a number of conditions that need to be addressed before this development is built, but we believe the developer can address these issues to the City's satisfaction. Items to be considered include a 28-foot wide street in 50 feet of right-of-way. Our general commercial street standard is 55 feet of r-o-w and 32 feet of pavement. However, because this is basically a self-contained project, it runs only between the 121 access road and Highland Drive, and the fact that this is a PD request, we can support the reduced street guidelines. There are two comments on the Site Plan which need to be eliminated. Comment 5 states no sidewalks along the Plaza Boulevard frontage. The Landscape Plan shows sidewalks, and staff strongly recommends they be included for pedestrian circulation along the frontage of the buildings and for access to the open space east of these structures. Note 6 states building height shall be measured to the midpoint between ridge of roof and top plate. The elevations included with this application clearly state the building height will be 28.2 feet for the one-story buildings and 43.75 feet for the two-story buildings. Note 6 should be deleted from the Site Plan. We need a dimension between the right-of-way line along Highland Drive and the face of the Lot 1 office building. It scales at 30 feet but the dimension needs to be placed on the Site Plan. Heights of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 need to reflect a one-story building of 28.2 feet, not 43 feet. Also, we have concern that a two-story building extending 44 feet into the air proposes only a 20-foot setback from the curb. At least 25 feet should separate the building from the pavement. Landscape screening needs to be shown at back of parking spaces on the south end of Lot 6, as was shown on the original Landscape Plan submittal. The Landscape Plan also shows a 20-foot high entry monument and screening wall along the 121 frontage. The location of this entry feature also needs to be shown on the Site Plan. Because this is a PD, the height of the wall can be allowed through this zoning application. In Item#5 addition to the monument, a note has been placed on the plan indicating signage locations. The applicant included a concept example of what the entry monument and signage might look like. We need to know maximum size of these signs, and the plan needs to reflect color, material, font, etc. The wall will be built of the same material as the office buildings, and the color boards for those structures have been include with this application. Finally, there are additional comments made by Engineering staff related to driveway issues. They are included with the ATTACHMENTS package. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of this request, subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of the 50 foot r-o-w and 28-foot street. 2. Eliminate Note 5 (sidewalks) from Site Plan. 3. Eliminate Note 6 (building height) from Site Plan. 4. Building height on Lots 1-4 need to reflect 28.2 feet. 5. Dimension distance between r-o-w of Highland Drive and building on Lot 1. 6. Increase two-story building setbacks to at least 25 feet from back of curb on Plaza Boulevard. 7. Landscape screening needs to be provided at back of the parking spaces on the south end of Lot 6. 8. Show location of monument/entry structure on Site Plan. 9. Indicate size, color, font, material, etc., of the monument signage. 10. Compliance with the Engineering Department comments (attached).
