No building issues on site plan.

1. A Traffic Impact Analysis will be required to determine if
deceleration lane and/or other driveway/circulation
improvements are required.
2. All utilities internal to the site will be private.
1. Provide a looped, private water line system to serve the
site.
2. If maintenance is required on the water line, a portion of
the fire lane could be disrupted. Consider locating WL in an
area that
3. A TIA will be needed to evaluate if additional right -turn
decal lanes will be needed
4. Additional comments will be provided upon receipt of
detailed engineering plans.

1. Fire lane radii should be a minimum of 30ft inside, 54ft
outside.
2. Fire hydrants are required to be spaced at 300ft intervals
3. Private fire lines/hydrant system is required.

1. Concept tree survey unacceptable, it needs to be done by a
L.A. or Arborist familier with the City of Coppell Tree
Preservation Ordinance.

Opening Statement:
The HC District (the zoning on this property) is intended
primarily as a high intensity area permitting a mixed-use for
office, commercial -retail, and highway oriented uses, such as
hotels, restaurants, and low and mid -rise offices, and should
be located generally along high-volume thoroughfares. The
site characteristics for each area should be designed in a
manner to create an attractive appearance from I.H. 635 and
S.H. 121, and an impressive gateway into the community.
Because these areas are designated as major thoroughfare
entry points, emphasis has been placed on building
arrangement, setbacks, parking, and landscape treatment,
which are intended to be elements influencing the character of
entrance into the city. It is the intention of the "highway
commercial" zoning district to create an attractive and unique
entrance into the city.
The 2030 Master Plan echo's that intent, see attached
description of the Freeway Special District.
The exhibits submitted do not appear to address the purpose
and intent of the Zoning or the Future Land Use designation on
this property.

Plan Case ID PD18-08-000269 COMMENTS Project Name Prologis , Lot 3 , 2R, BkB
1. Requested variances to HC — The four variances (A -D) are
requesting that the uses required to have SUP's should be
permitted "by right" subject to staff review only.
• staff will not support these variances as the specified
purpose of requiring SUP's for gas stations, restaurants, and
hotels is to allow City Council, after recommendation by the
Planning and Zoning Commission to determine the
appropriateness of the use, its character and impact on
surrounding properties.
• This Concept Plan, if approved will require Detail Site
Plans to be approved through public hearing process for all
uses that require SUP's in the Zoning Ordinance.
2. Development Code Variances:
A. What is the rationale for requesting 10 -foot building
setbacks and HC requires 20 feet? One area on the Concept
Plan indicates a 5' setback.
B. Minimum 15 Landscape setback is required along streets,
why is there a request to violate that landscape setback with
parking? HC District and Freeway Special District Land Use
Designation encourages a greater setback (30-50 feet) along
these major thoroughfares.
C. In response to this request, there is an opportunity to
adjust landscaping numbers if a significant landscape feature
is provided (common/gathering area, fountain, public art, etc.)
or similar compensation... not just a few trees in unusable
corners of the property.
D. Need to establish % of front yard parking per lot/site plan
to be considered as a PD condition.
Concept Site Plan
1. Relabel this sheet as Concept Plan for PD295-HC
2. Remove meets and bounds and extraneous Abbreviation
Legend
3. Add a detail list of requested variances to the Zoning
Ordinance, the HC District regulations and the Landscape
Ordinance
4. Preliminary Site Data Table — revise to Concept Site Data
Table
a. Tract E — Hotel — parking 131*** and see breakout —what
breakout?
5. Why does the fire lane not connect in front of the proposed
hotel?
6. Needs to be fire lane and mutual access easements.
7. More clearly indicate the Hike and Bike trail along Freeport
Parkway.
Landscape Plan
1. Add tract numbers to track with Concept Plan
2. Apparently the landscape plan for the gas station site was
"cut and pasted" into the overall plan and is very difficult to read.
3. There needs to be a consistent landscape design
thorough out the project. As stated above, some variations to
the amount of landscaping per lot could potentially be justified
if compensated with overall design and amenity package. As
presented, is not acceptable.
4. More clearly indicate the Hike and Bike trail along Freeport

Parkway.
Tree survey
1. Detail tree survey, prepared by a registered Arborist or
Landscape Architect and will be required at the time of Detail
Plan approval.
Concept Elevations
callaway architecture letter - the theme as described is not
apparent in the exhibits submitted. There is also a statement
that the Landscaping will meet city requirements, which it
clearly does not.
QT elevations —
While the building material may comply with the masonry
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the red awning, accents
and signage does not comply. Also, the building will
essentially be hidden from the prominent intersection of SH
121 and Freeport Parkway by the 1,150 square foot gas
canopy. There are no elevations of this included in the
submittal, or a perspective indicating the view of this
development from this intersection.
Restaurant Elevations —
1 . The elevations indicate a patio, but none is shown on the
Concept Site Plan.
2. Yellow awnings — violate the provision of the Zoning
Ordinance, and again is contrary to the Theme as described by
callaway.
Hotel Elevations —
FYI — 4 story hotel would most likely not meet the
requirements of either the Zoning Ordinance or the
Building Code.
In Summary, the staff cannot support the approval of this
Concept Plan.
