PLANNING COMMISSION AUTHORIZED PUBLIC HEARING Case No. ZC-$65 (CH)
Location: Northwest comer of Denton Tap Road and Bethel School Road
Size: approximately 10 acres
Owner: Mr. J. C. Thweat
Coppell, Tx.
Existing Zoning: "C", Commercial
Proposed Zoning: "O", Office
Master Plan: The Master Plan shows office use as most appropriate here.
Recommendation: Because the Master Plan shows office zoning as most appropriate here, the
fact that planning staff is continually criticized for the lack of office tracts
in the city, and the fact that the area immediately north of this parcel has
been developed with single-family housing and office use is a more
compatible buffer to residential uses than commercial uses, we would
recommend that the subject property be granted office zoning.
