in September 2001, but formally withdrawn October 4,2001 (no reason was
given).
The Planning Commission reviewed a rezoning request to PD 216-H on
September 21, 2006, and continued the case to October 19, 2006, in order for
the applicant to address some of the concerns raised at that meeting.
TRANSPORTATION:
Coppell Road is a two-lane, asphalt road contained within a 60'
right-of-way. Freese and Nichols has prepared the construction
plans, which are now 90% complete, showing variable right-of-
way widths and approximately 34' of pavement with an 8'
sidewalk on the west and a 6' sidewalk on the east. Construction is
scheduled to begin in the second quarter of2008.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Office/Warehouse; "PD-186-LI" Planned Development - 186 - Light
Industrial
South - Vacant; "H" Historic
East - Vacant; "H" Historic
West - Residential; "SF-12" Single Family - 12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Cappel! Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable
for appropriate uses within the Historic District.
DISCUSSION:
Because the Planning Commission continued this case to the
September 21st hearing to give the applicant an opportunity to
address concerns raised, the statements depicted in bold are
responses based on applicants re-submittal.
The purpose of this Planned Development is to allow aI, 740-square-
foot addition on the west side of the existing 3,120-square-foot office
structure, construction of a 4,970-square-foot building, outside storage
and additional parking. Within the Historic District an office/warehouse
type use is allowed by a special use permit with less than 20% of the
structures used for warehousing. There are a variety of uses already on
site (office, warehouse, retail and outside storage). This proposal is to
add on to the existing office and warehouse space (greater than 20%)
and "clean up" the site, making this a prime candidate for a Planned
Development. An existing metal building will be removed from the
site to make room for the office expansion. The "outside storage"
consists of vehicle parking and stone storage all located behind solid
screening (either the existing or proposed masonry walls along the
north and west property lines, the existing wood fence and trees on the
southwest and south property lines, or the wood gate and fence on the
east, fronting Coppell Road).
ITEM # 6
Page 2 of6
The applicant is proposing to asphalt pave the parking/storage area and
drives. This is a permissible material within the Historic District. A
total of 44 parking spaces are required for the assortment of land uses
(1 parking space is required per 200-square-foot retail area, 300-square-
foot office and 1,000-square-foot warehouse). There are a total of 45
proposed (23 new, 22 existing). Per the Historic District regulations, no
parking is allowed in the front yard. The parking area along Coppell
Road is partially within the subject property and partially within
Coppell Road right-of-way. A condition of the Planned Development
will allow for this parking to exist within the front yard, as this is
essentially "on-street parking." This is included in the parking
calculations as permitted within the Historic District.
One of the objectives in establishing the Historic District was to ensure
that alterations to existing structures are compatible with the unique
character of the area. Construction standards of the district state that all
building additions shall be compatible with the main structure,
generally, secondary to the main structure, and shall be located in the
rear. The proposed office expansion meets these requirements with the
proposed Austin Stone being the same as the existing and its location
on the rear of the existing building. Accessory structures within the
district are required to conform to the same setback standards of the
main structure, are required to be smaller in scale than the primary
building, are to be compatible in design, shape, materials, and roof
shape and are to reflect the general character of the primary building.
The applicant is meeting these requirements, as the total area of the
buildings to the front comes to almost twice its size, the materials will
match the existing structure (Austin Stone) and the roof shape is
proposed to be flat (the same as the north building on Coppell Road).
Landscape areas within the Historic District shall be provided
according to the landscaping section of the Zoning Ordinance.
However, considerations for additional streetscaping/hardscaping in
lieu of the required "nonvehicular" and/or "perimeter" landscaping is
allowed. The Ordinance is specific that all of the "interior," or parking
lot, landscaping requirements be met in all nonexempt parking/outside
storage areas. The entire parking/outside storage area behind the
buildings is exempt from these requirements, as it is screened from
view and access to the public is restricted; therefore, the "interior"
landscaping is a not an issue. The "nonvehicular" requirement of
14,583 square feet is not being met with the 7,553 square feet proposed.
The applicant has agreed to save Tree #7 on the west side of the
property which will require additional green space around the tree that
can be added to the "nonvehicular" landscape area (300 to 400-square-
feet area around the tree to be left unpaved). Staff recommends adding
eight planters along the front (one per 20') to soften the front fa9ade,
and to count towards the landscape deficiency.
ITEM # 6
Page 3 of6
The applicant is proposing to add two long planter boxes to span
the entire front of the southernmost building, exceeding the staff's
revised request asking for four small planter boxes at this location.
"Perimeter" landscaping is proposed along the north property line
(seven, 3" cal. trees proposed). Staff recommends adding six trees to
the west property line and six along the south to meet the perimeter
requirements along all interior property lines.
The applicant is proposing to add these 12 trees as requested by
staff; however, upon further review, staff is asking the applicant to
relocate the six proposed trees shown on the south property line,
elsewhere on site, so as not to encroach upon the flood plain or
sewer easement. In order to address some of the concerns related
to noise and dust between this site and the residences to the west,
the applicant is proposing to add 40 Wax Myrtles along the west
property line.
There are six existing overstory trees on site and a total of twelve, 3"
cal. trees are currently proposed (5 Live Oak and 7 Cedar Elm).
Lacebark Elms are recommended in place of the Cedar Elms, as these
will match the street trees proposed for the district. In sum, adding a
total of twelve, 3" cal. trees and eight planters would help compensate
for the "perimeter and nonvehicular" landscaping shortages.
In sum, the applicant proposed to plant the 12 trees (six on the west
property line and six on the south property line), replace the Cedar
Elms with Lacebark Elms, add planters along the front of the
southernmost building, as well as add 40 Wax Myrtles. As
mentioned above, the six proposed trees on the southern boundary
will be located elsewhere on the site.
A fire lane and private water line is proposed to encircle the building
with two fire hydrants placed within landscaped parking lot islands
adjacent to the fire lane.
The applicant has addressed the Fire Department's concerns by
proposing to add an opticom (remote control) system for the gates.
In addition to the conditions previously recommended by staff, the
Planning and Zoning Commission requested that the following
issues be addressed (the proposed response is shown in italics):
. Hours of operation and noise,
No change is proposed regarding the hours of operation.
Noise levels may be reduced by the proposed 40 Wax Myrtles,
trees and screening wall.
. Flood plain/screening wall,
The masonry screening wall is proposed to be extended south
adjacent to the southern extent of the existing storage block
wall.
. 10' landscape buffer/planting (additional living screen),
ITEM # 6
Page 4 of6
Forty Wax Myrtles are proposed along the western property
line in addition to six proposed trees.
. 8' fence (improvements to existing fence)
The existing fence is proposed to be repaired.
. Location of truck parking,
No change is proposed.
. Dust generated from the site.
Paving the area will eliminate the majority of the dust
generated from the vehicles. The discharge of dust from the
material storage will be reduced by the Wax Myrtle buffer.
RECOMMENDA nON TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROV AL of this request, subject to the following conditions:
1) List all proposed PD conditions on Site Plan. These are as
follows:
a. Front yard parking is permitted.
b. Nonvehicular and perimeter landscaping shortages (Specify
areas once calculations are revised).
c. All uses (Retail, Office, Warehouse, and Outside Storage)
permitted by right.
Condition met. All proposed PD conditions have been noted
on the Site Plan.
2) Contact Larry Redick at 972-323-8917 to discuss electric
service requirements.
3) Include all existing and proposed lighting facilities and ensure
they are in accordance with the H District regulations.
4) Include 300 to 400-square-foot area around Tree #7 within
nonvehicular landscaping calculations.
Condition met. Area surrounding Tree #7 is shown.
5) Replace Cedar Elms with Lacebark Elms as these are more
appropriate for the district.
Condition met. Cedar Elms have been changed to Lacebark
Elms.
6) Include 12 additional perimeter trees (six on the west and six
on the south property lines) and planters on the Coppell
frontage.
Condition met. Twelve additional perimeter trees have been
added (six on the west and six on the south). The six shown
on the south property line are required to be shifted to
elsewhere on site, so as not to conflict with the sewer
easement or flood plain.
ITEM # 6
