HISTORY: Planned Development-186 has a long history in the City of Coppell. Beginning in 2000, Duke has regularly constructed office/warehouse buildings, and the approval of this ~ddition will basically close out the western portion of this 143-acre l~arcel. Item # 5 Page 1 of 3 In the fall of 2000, Council apl~roved a Conceptual Planned Development allowing seven offi0e/warehouse facilities on this property. Also approved was a Fin~ll Plat allowing the construction of Freeport Parkway from Bethel to Ruby Road. In 2001, Council approved a series of plans dealing with tree mitigation, signage, landscaping and reduced parking. Warehouse use parking requirements were red¢ced from one space for each 1,000-square feet of warehouse to one space for each 5,000-square feet. Additional monument signage was allowed and a tree reparation/landscape plan was appro~ved. An approximate 600,000- square-foot warehouse was constructed now primarily housing a book depository. In 2002, a 160,000-square-foot buil~ling was approved for U-Line, Inc., and in 2003 construction of a 1,100,000-square-foot building was approved for the Container Store. In July of 2004, two more buildingi were approved consisting of a 140,000-square-foot building now housing a bank back-office facility and a 70,000-square-foot building currently being advertised for lease. TRANSPORTATION: Bethel Road is a two-lane asphalt street proposed to be a C4D, four- lane divided thoroughfare in 90 feeti of right-of-way being designed currently with construction estimat~,d to begin in 2006. Freeport Parkway is an improved C4D/6, fbur-lane-divided street built to standard within a 11 O-foot right-of-Way. There is a Hike and Bike easement adjacent to this property on the western boundary of this property. SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North -office/warehousing; PD-186-LI (planned Development, Light Industrial) South -Minyard's office/warehouse; LI ~Light Industrial) East -vacant land; PD-186-LI (Planned Development, Light Industrial) West - vacant land; PD-185-LI (Plalmedl Development, Light Industrial) Page 2 of 3 Item//5 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan st ows the property as suitable for light industrial and sho¥"room uses. DISCUSSION: This is a companion piece to the zonin~ change request at Freeport Parkway and Bethel Road. As such, the ~pplicant is requesting to replat a remaining portion of Lot 2, Block A iinto two building sites. The eastern lot (Lot 2R-2) is proposed to accc~nmodate a 93,300-square-foot building, and the western lot (Lot 2R-l) a 143,200-square-foot structure. Both are proposed for office/showroom/~Varehouse uses, similar to the existing uses within this light industrial area. Because the uses planned for these replatted lots reflect those suggested by the Comprehensive Plan, are an extension of the existing hses within the area and are compatible with existing development, staff can support this request.
