Coppell Crossing, Phase IV, was constructed in 2001, and this portion of the
building has never been occupied. The lease space abutting to the west was
originally occupied by Tasty Donuts (S-1187) and is currently occupied by Pizza
Inn (S-1187R), which recently relocated from Coppell Crossing, Phase V
(behind Burger King). The remainder of the building is occupied by Pan
Acean Restaurant (S-1188).
On March 27, 2007 Council approved Case No. S-1238 for a convenience
store (Kegs IN Cellar).

TRANSPORT ATION:
MacArthur Blvd. is a P6D, shown on the Thoroughfare Plan and built as
a six-lane divided thoroughfare, in 110' of right-of-way adjacent to this
shopping center.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North -shopping center; "C" (Commercial)
South-DART R.O.W. and retail; "A" (Agriculture) and "PD-157-C",
(Planned Development-157-Commercial)
East - shopping center; "R" (Retail)
West -shopping center; "C" (Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan shows the property as
suitable for Regional Retail uses.
DISCUSSION:
This request is to add a third attached sign, which was not approved with the
original SUP. The allowance of this sign is based on an interpretation of the
building official of the following regulation;
"(B) Effective area: Attached signs shall not exceed the following:
ii. For buildings and leaseholds with multiple facades, facing a
dedicated street, or where street frontage does not exist....a
maximum aggregate effective area on anyone facade
equal to one square foot per lineal foot of facade width and
a maximum total aggregate effective area of two-square
feet per lineal foot of building or tenant frontage on a
dedicated street, as applicable, or 300 square feet,
whichever is less.
Based on the determination that Kegs I N Cellar has two entry doors (one on
each side of the building), this use is entitled to "total aggregate effective
area of two-square feet per lineal foot... " . This use has 46' 5" frontage on
MacArthur, and the same frontage on the north elevation of the building,
therefore at total of 92.4 square feet of signage would be available.
Existing are two 23 square foot signs, and this request is to add a 3rd 23 square
foot sign, bringing the total signage to 69 square foot sign, which is compliant
with this interpretation of the Sign Ordinance.
Approximately one year ago the Special Use Permit for this business was
approved by City Council. At that time the only issue was the proposed
signage/business name. While the color, size and location on the lease space
was compliant with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the applicant
desired to include "Beer and Wine" under "Kegs IN Cellar". The Building Official
interpreted that this sign is not compliant with City policy, which applies the
ITEM # 8

following Zoning Ordinance requirement to all businesses that sell alcoholic
beverages for either on- or off-premise consumption:
"12-30-16.3. Signs. Exterior signs, other than established trade names,
located on the outside of the building or premises of a restaurant, shall
not advertise or refer to the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages
by words or symbols."
To reiterate this requirement, also on this agenda is a proposed text
amendment which specifically prohibits signs referring to the sale or
consumption of alcoholic beverages on all establishments.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Case No. S-1238R, to allow one additional
23 square foot attached sign to be affixed to the west elevation.
There are no outstanding conditions.
