RE: PD-250R24-H, Coppell Arts Center
Dear Ms. Brierton:
This letter is to inform you that PD-250R24-H (Planned Development-250 Revision 24-Historic) to allow
the development of an approximate 32,370 square-foot Coppell Arts Center on 3.044 acres of property, was
approved by the City Council on September 11, 2018, subject to the following conditions:
1. The following PD Conditions which are variances to the Historic District:
a. The predominant height of the building is 30'-11", with a high roof set back from the front
elevation at 48'-3", which is the minimum stage height required to support the Theatre program.
b. The gross square footage of the building is 32,370 SF.
c. Driveways at the fire lane are 30'-0" wide to accommodate emergency vehicle access given the
proximity of the fire lane to Burns Street.
d. The building is supported by a foundation at-grade to provide accessible access at all entrances
& exits, rather than raised and constructed of brick as required in the Historic District.
e. Fences and Walls - "(B) Wood board fences for privacy shall only be located in rear yards; (C)
Walls of freestanding brick are not permitted in front yards [...]"Proposed: Brick and wood
screen walls are provided at the Garden to create an "outdoor room" for semi-private uses
associated with the Multipurpose space.
f. The Director of Community Development shall be given the authority to administratively
approve the design of the gazebo at a later date.
2. Additional comments may be generated upon detailed engineering review.
In order to prepare an ordinance, we need to assemble appropriate documentation. When the
ordinance has been completed and Council has approved it, a copy will be sent to you. As a
reminder, the zoning change sign can now be returned to the Planning Department.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (972) 304-3559.
