HISTORY: The original subdivision was platted in early 1996. Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 1 Old
Coppell Estates were replatted in November 2008 to add a 20-foot strip of land
(4,490 total square-feet) from the Vaughan Addition to each lot’s western
boundary. In 2011, a replat of 361 Hearthstone, Lot 4R (current request area) and
the lot abutting to the north, Lot 5R (357 Hearthstone) was approved which
incorporated 0.9 acres from the northern portion the Vaughan Addition into the
rear portion of these two existing lots. The H (Historic) District remained on the
rear portions of the lots, which were formally the Vaughan Addition.
In 2012, PD-256-SF-9 was established to allow the expansion 369 and 373
Hearthstone (lots directly to the south of the current request area) into the 0.76 acres

which was formally the utility building for a cable company. These lots were also
replatted at that time.
TRANSPORTATION: Hearthstone Lane is a local 28-foot wide street built within a 50-foot right-of-
way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North – residential; SF-9 (Single Family-9), and H (Historic)
South – residential; PD-256-SF-9 (Planned Development-256 -Single Family-9)
East – residential; SF-9 (Single Family-9)
West – undeveloped; H (Historic)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of March 2011 shows the property suitable as a
Residential Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: This is a companion request to the replatting of 361 and 365 Hearthstone Lane, to rezone
the rear portions of these properties from H (Historic) to SF-9 to have consistent
residential development regulations on the entire property.
As detailed in Staff Reports on the replatting of these lots, there is a long history of
platting, and replatting to accommodate the property owners’ desires for their properties.
The owner of 361 Hearthstone Lane is selling their property and is proposing to reduce
it’s size, and increase the size of the lot to the south (365 Hearthstone Lane). This
proposed revised lotting pattern is appropriate from a zoning and platting perspective, the
two residential lots along Hearthstone will be the same depth as the two existing
residential properties to the south (369 and 373 Hearthstone) and have uniform
residential zoning.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of ZC-627, 361 and 365 Hearthstone Lane to rezone from H (Historic)
to SF-9 (Single Family -9).
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
