COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Coppell 2030, A Comprehensive Master Plan, indicates this property as a
Mixed-Use Community Center without residential.
DISCUSSION: Site Plan
Capital One Bank is the long-term lease holder for the property and are
proposing to construct a 3,558 square-foot one-story building. The bank
intends to occupy the entire building and would also have a two-lane drive
thru area limited to ATM use.
The existing driveway on Sandy Lake Road, located on this property, will
be removed. This property will be served by the driveway located on the
adjacent property to the west on Sandy Lake Road, served by a mutual
access easement. A second access point will be provided on the existing
driveway located on Denton Tap Road.
Landscape Plan/Tree Survey
As designed, the Landscape Plan is compliant with the regulations of the
Landscape Ordinance. Given that this property is less than two acres in
size, a recent a Landscape Ordinance amendment caps the site area required
to be devoted to landscaping 30%. This site is exceeding the minimum and
is providing approximately 34% of the site in landscaped areas. Overstory
trees are being provided adjacent along the entire perimeter of this site, in
addition to keeping seven existing trees and planting nine new trees.
Building Elevations, Lighting & Signage
The building is approximately 21-ft in height with the tower feature located
at the northeast corner of the building being approximately 27-ft 9-in in
height. The two facades visible from the street are the north and east
facades, with the entrance being located on the northern facade. These
facades have vertically oriented windows with metal canopies. Transom
windows are located above the eastern façade. These two street facing
façades include a variety of bricklaying design, with a soldier course along
the roofline and a decorative diagonal soldier banding “X” pattern on the
tower element. The entire building will be constructed of brick.
In reviewing the Photometric Study submitted, it appears that the ordinance
provisions will be achieved along the residential property line (far side of
alley). Lighting information provided will include shielding of any pole
lighting and will be reviewed at the time of Building Permit.
Signage for the site includes a sign on the tower element of the building that
meets ordinance requirements. Other signage on site includes directional
signage that will also need to meet ordinance requirements.
