Executive Summary:
This request is to allow three additions to the existing building: a competition gymnasium, a classroom
expansion and addition to the existing cafeteria. These projects were also part of the 2016 CISD bond
program. The entire school will be updated to with automatic fire sprinkler system.
Introduction:
Last year CISD improved the field with artificial turf, added new goal posts and resurfaced the track and
the existing chain link fence was replaced with an 8’ ornamental fence encircling the track and field. In
March of this year City Council approved the second phase of this project to provide additional parking,
bleachers, press box, concession/restroom facility and field lighting. As of this date the lighting,
bleachers and press box have been installed. The current request includes:
7,800-square foot classroom addition adjacent to falcon Drive,
13,800-square foot gym addition which will also serve as a storm shelter, and
2,500-square foot cafeteria expansion (under the existing roof).
These plans also address two outstanding conditions from the previous approval; the detail design of
the revised parking lot adjacent to the gym and the inclusion of a shrub row of Nellie Stevens Holly
abutting the track/field to buffer this use from the existing residential.
Analysis:
On June 21, 2018, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended Approval of PD-
292R-SF-12 Coppell Middle School East, with the following conditions remain outstanding:
1. Additional comments will be generated at the time detail engineering review of the grading,
drainage, utility and paving plans, and building permit.
2. This property shall be platted prior to a C.O. for any of the expansion areas.
