Introduction:
The City of Coppell acquired this property in the year 2000 and in 2004 conducted a Feasibility Study
for this site. The site was rezoned to S-1244-LI in 2008 to allow the development of a Municipal
Cemetery and ancillary uses and in 2016, it was recommended that the entire site be reevaluated. From
that reevaluation a new conceptual master plan was created that addresses future phases and takes into
consideration appropriate amenities and ultimate buildout of the entire property. The conceptual Master
Plan was considered and endorsed by the City Council at the May 9, 2017 meeting. S-1244R-LI
represents Phase 2, which formalizes the previously presented and adopted Concept Master Plan, which
includes the construction of: crypts, mausoleum, family estates, children’s garden expansion, three
shelter/pavilion areas, office and maintenance shop area, lake area and the extension of the fire lane.
