Coppell, Texas 75019
Phone: 972.915.0000

HISTORY:
In February 2002, City Council approved a request by the current
property owner to abandon the right-of-way for Cotton Road,
which previously abutted this property to the south. One-half of
the right-of-way was acquired by the property owner to the north
and the remaining one-half to the property owner to the south,
DFW Airport. During this abandonment process, all utility
companies were contacted. All signed off with no conditions
except for TXU (which was Oncor at that time), who requested an
ITEM #6
PAGE 1 of3
easement be retained due to the active facilities that were within
this right-of-way. This abandonment action increased the size of
the subject tract by approximately 0.3902 of an acre or 16,995
square feet. In August 2006, a minor plat and rezoning from LI
(Light Industrial) to PD-21S-L1 (Planned Development 21S-Light
Industrial) was approved for this site resulting in the development
of a 4,248-square-foot convenience store, 1 A14-square-foot
restaurant and a S,l 04-square-foot canopy over six gas pumps.
The existing billboard on the northwest corner of the site was
allowed to remain, although staff had recommended its removal.
TRANSPORTATION:
Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (IH-63S) is a freeway with variable
width right-of-way. Royal Lane is designated as a 6-lane divided
thoroughfare with 110' right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (IH 635, LBJ Freeway)
East - Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (IH 63S, LBJ Freeway)
South - Undeveloped; DFW Airport Property
West - Undeveloped; DFW Airport Property
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for Light
Industrial/Showroom uses.
DISCUSSION:
This is a two part request: 1) a 40-foot high pole "can sign" with a
100-square-foot illuminated plastic face and 2) a change in the
color of the gas canopy from beige to bright yellow with a red
vinyl stripe and an illuminated red "Shell" sign. Signs attached to
canopies, pole signs and can signs are specifically prohibited by
Section 12-29-3 of the Zoning Ordinance. Monument signs and
attached, building signage with white channel letters are only the
types permitted. A 40-square-foot monument sign (exhibit
attached) has already been permitted and constructed at the
northwest corner of the site. Building signage (exhibit attached)
has been permitted and attached to both the north and west
facades (white channel letters with a black shadow). There is a
31-square-foot "Deli Select" and a 22-square-foot "Gateway" sign
on the Royal Lane facade and a 31-square -foot "Deli Select" sign
on the LBJ facade. These signs are smaller in area than what
could potentially be permitted- 77 square-feet allowed along the
LBJ side and 83 square-feet along the Royal side. Because
visibility is key to this site, staff could support a minor deviation
from the sign ordinance to allow for a small amount of canopy
signage if done tastefully. A 2.S-foot x 7.S-foot "Shell" sign
ITEM #6
PAGE2of3
matching the style of the existing attached signage (white
channel letters with a black shadow) at each face of the
northwest corner of the canopy could be supported by staff. All
the other requests are recommended for denial, as they are in
direct conflict with the Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending DENIAL of this request and APPROVAL of a
compromise to allow signage on the canopy detailed as follows:
1. Two, 2.5' X 7.5' "Shell" signs.
2. White channel letters with a black shadow to match the
existing building signage .
3. Located on each face of the northwest corner of the canopy.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Site Plan
2) Proposed 40' Pole Sign
3) Proposed Cabinet Sign Face
4) Existing Monument Sign
5) Proposed Canopy Signage
6) Existing attached signage (2 pages)
