HISTORY: This property was originally platted in 1984 for the development of the Mobil
Gas Station. The brand changed from Mobil to Texaco in 2008 and the
ownership changed in 2013 to First Global Group, Inc.
In February 2015, Council approved a PD for this tract to allow the partial
redevelopment of the existing gas station/car wash and convenience store site.
The proposal included a 4,400-square-foot structure (3,200-square-foot
convenience store/1,200-square-foot drive-thru restaurant) and the existing gas
canopy to remain. Prior to approval, the applicant purchased 8,161 square feet
of recently abandoned right-of-way from the City to meet the minimum
landscape requirement for this development.
On November 13, 2018 City Council approved PD-273R2-C, to establish a
Detail Site Plan for a convenience store and gas pumps, subject to various
conditions, including:
• This property shall be replatted prior to the issuance of any engineering
or building permits.

• Entering into a license agreement with the City of Coppell to allow
landscaping and maintenance of the 1,237 square feet of land to achieve
the 30% landscape requirement.
HISTORIC COMMENT: This property does not have any historic significance.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided thoroughfare built to standard within a 120-
foot right-of-way. East Belt Line is a four-lane divided thoroughfare that widens
to six lanes at the intersection (allowing for a dual left turn) within a 120-foot
right-of-way. 8,161 square-feet of the right-of-way on the northeast corner of the
intersection was abandoned by the City and purchased by the current land owner.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North: exit drive for Chicken Express; PD-232-C (Planned Development-232-
Commercial)
South: gas station; C (Commercial)
East: Chicken Express Restaurant; PD-232-C (Planned Development-232-
Commercial)
West: Dairy Queen Restaurant; C (Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan shows this property as
suitable for Mixed Use Community Center (or single family residential),
which includes neighborhood serving retail.
DISCUSSION: This is a companion request to the recently approved PD district which allows
the redevelopment of this site for a 2,991 square foot convenience store with a
3,096 square foot canopy over six gas pump islands. The approved PD Site
Plan indicated a deceleration lane for northbound Denton Tap as well as the
elimination of one driveway along to provide for safer movements into this site.
This Replat/Minor Plat includes a replat of the original Mobil Plat from 1984,
and a Minor Plat to incorporate the 8,161 square feet of right-of-way which was
previously abandoned. A License Agreement has been prepared and reviewed
by the City Attorney which allows landscaping (ground cover and seasonal
plantings) and maintenance of the 1,237 square foot of city owned land at the
corner of E. Belt Line and S. Denton Tap (Approved Landscape Plan is attached
for reference). The approved Site Plan also allows the monument sign to abut
this city property, versus being setback an additional 15’ from the property line.
This Plat provides the abandonment of the existing sanitary sewer easement
which is being relocated within the site and establishes the fire lane and
necessary easements to support this development.
