COMPREHENSWE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
regional retail, which includes banking facilities.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting Site Plan approval for the development of a one-
story, 8,867-square-foot Town Center Bank facility on approximately 1.55 acres
of property, to be served by 50 parking spaces. The site is situated south of State
Highway 121 on the east side of Denton Tap Road, just south of the Dynasty
retail center (approximately 2500' north of Parkway Boulevard). Staff is
recommending that the Town Center Bank name be reconsidered as it is not
located within the Town Center area.
Site Plan
The site has been designed to place the main entry along Denton Tap Road with
three drive-through lanes at the rear and an ATM lane on the side of the
property. Because the property is located aloing Denton Tap Road, which is
identified as a Primary Image Zone, the applicant has provided increased
setbacks and landscaping.
The applicant will appropriately screen this commercial use from the adjacent
residential district (Coppell Middle School NOrth), as required by Article 33
Screening Standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The existing wall along the rear
of the subject property will be modified by replacing the wrought-iron portions
with solid brick screening. Staff supports the proposed alterations to the
existing walt.
A fire lane/mutual access drive will be constructed along the southem property
line, which will assist in providing access to futj~re developments to the south of
the subject site. There is also a mutual access and fire lane easement extending
to the north to connect into the Dynasty development and the Jack in the Box
restaurant.

Architecture
The proposed building will be one-story, measuring approximately 43' in height
to the peak. The building materials will consist of red brick and an off-white
colored limestone veneer ("Alpine Blend") with cast-stone accents. The roof
will be lusterless champagne colored standing-seam metal. In the rear parking
area, a 15' high carport (20' X 100') is proposed with the same limestone and
peaked metal roof design. A 38.5-square-foot monument sign will be located
approximately 25' from the Denton Tap right-of way and 140' from the northern
property line. The proposed monument sign (brown channel mounted letters)
will be constructed of limestone veneer to match the building.
Landscape Plan
The proposed Landscape Plan fully provides the required perimeter, interior and
non-vehicular landscaping, showing 13 Live Oak trees along Denton Tap and
the northern property line. There are 16 Aristrocrat Pear trees shown throughout
the site within parking islands and along the eastern boundary adjacent to the
screening wall.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the Natches Trace Addition, Lot 1, Block C,
Site Plan, subject to the following conditions:
1. The bank name should be reconsidered, as tl~e Town Center is located
approximately 2500' south of the site.
2. Submit a copy of the easement that contains the pavement on the south side
of the site on the adjacent lot.
3. Ensure the easements shown on the plat are correctly reflected on the Site
Plan.
4. Indicate firelane turning radii (30' inside & 54' outside minimum required).
5. A Fire Department connection is to be located within 50' of a fire hydrant.
6. Show the location of all existing and proposed fire hydrants on the Site Plan.
These are required every 300' along the fire~ane.
7. Revise proposed parking figures from 53 to 50.
8. Show 44 Carissa Hollies instead of the 41 shown in chart.
9. Increase the size of the Aristocrat Pear by at least one-caliper inch.
