Council Memo Aug 13, 20191
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: August 13, 2019
Reference: Consider approval of PD-260R2-R, Trinity River Kayak Company, a rezoning request
from PD-260R-R to amend the site plan to allow for a canopy and storage building, an
enclosed metal storage container and to use the existing building as a live/work
residence; by allowing variances to the Zoning Ordinance including: allowable use and
encroachment into the required setback on 1.49 acres of property located 1601 E. Sandy
Lake Road.
2030: Business Prosperity
Executive Summary:
Approximately six years ago, this property was granted PD zoning to allow a convenience store and the
kayak operation subject to nine variances to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. The uses allowed
within the Planned Development were changed in 2016 to a slightly modified retail district use list
(ordinance attached). These uses did not include residential or live/work.
This request is to allow the legalization of: the existing front yard canopy and storage building, the
storage/shipping container in the rear and a live/work use in the main structure.
Introduction:
Staff cannot support various components of the requested Planned Development, but may be able to
support others with the required modifications. The canopy and storage building in the front yard does
not meet the setback requirements of the platted lot (50' Front Yard) and was illegally installed without
a building permit. Staff is opposed to granting this component. The shipping container in the rear of the
site is not a permanent structure and is required to be removed after 45 days. Staff cannot support this
component. However, staff could support the construction of a storage building in this location setback
approximately 3’ from the property line as long as it is less than 150 square feet in area. This would be
compatible with the provisions in a residential district and it is screened with an eight-foot wood-fence
on the rear, it will have little impact. Because this is such a unique site with a unique use, staff could
support the live/work unit provided it meets the building and fire code requirements.
Analysis:
On July 18, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission (5-2) recommended approval of PD-260R2-R,
Trinity River Kayak subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the live/work use in the main structure provided that:
a. Fire sprinklers and alarms are installed.
2
b. The building code requirements for both the commercial and residential components and space
allocation (50% residential & 50% commercial) are adhered to.
2. Remove the front yard canopy and storage building. Relocate the personal assets stored in the front
yard parking lot.
3. Remove the shipping container and allow for the replacement with an accessory structure less than 150
square feet setback from rear property line by a minimum of three feet. It shall be built in the same
location as the metal shipping container.
4. The property must be brought into compliance with all applicable building codes, including obtaining
building permits from the city for any work that has or will be done, within 60 days of zoning approval.
Legal Review:
This item did not require City Attorney review
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:

SIZE OF AREA: 1.5 acres of property
CURRENT ZONING: PD-260R-R (Planned Development-260-Retail)
REQUEST: A zoning change request to PD-260R2-R (Planned Development-260 Revision

HISTORY: This property has been zoned for retail uses for over 25 years and was formerly
occupied by a bait shop and a residence. In 2013, the property owner was granted
a rezoning to allow a convenience store and canoe, kayak, paddleboard storage,
rentals and sales (no residence). Given the challenges imposed by reusing existing
buildings and incorporating new construction, this property was rezoned to a
Planned Development District to allow for variances to regulations of the Zoning
and Subdivision Ordinances to accommodate this use, including:
• Variance to the building setback requirements.
• Variance to the masonry requirements for the existing and proposed
buildings.
• Allowance for outside storage.
• Variance to the paving requirement – the fire lane was required to be
concrete, the parking areas were permitted to be asphalt/crushed lime stone.
• Monument sign was permitted to be located 7.5 feet vs. 15 feet from the
R.O.W.
ITEM # 3
Page 2 of 4
• Perimeter landscaping requirement was waived along the east and north
property lines.
• No parking lot landscaping was required.
• Alternative fencing was permitted along the west property line abutting the
residential subdivision.
• The property owner was permitted to retain the Septic System, subject to it
being inspected, certified and brought up to code.
On January 8, 2013 City Council approved this rezoning. A ¾ vote of Council was
required due to over 20% opposition from the abutting homeowners.
After the establishment of this ordinance, the Director of Planning approved a
revised sign plan which allowed for a sign on the fence/wall instead of the approved
monument sign and approved the design and location of the attached sign.
In 2016, a request to amend the allowed uses and signage was approved. The latest
ordinance is attached for reference.
HISTORIC COMMENT: There is no historic significance associated with the subject property.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is a C4D, four-lane divided collector concrete roadway contained
within a 110-foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - R L Turner FFA Project Center (CFBISD); A (Agriculture)
South - Single Family; Trinity Shores PD-190-SF-9
East - Trinity River; Cities of Dallas and Carrollton
West - Single Family; Trinity Shores PD-190-SF-9
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Coppell 2030 Comprehensive Master Plan, adopted March 22, 2011,
shows the property as suitable for Residential Neighborhood.
DISCUSSION: Approximately six years ago, this property was granted PD zoning to allow a convenience
store and the kayak operation subject to nine variances to the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances. The uses allowed within the Planned Development were changed in 2016 to
a slightly modified retail district use list (ordinance attached). These uses did not include
residential or live/work.
This request is to allow the legalization of: the existing front yard canopy and storage
building, the storage/shipping container in the rear and a live/work use in the main
structure.
Front Yard Canopy:
Approximately a year ago, the property owner inquired about installing a “Tough Shed” in
the front yard. Staff determined that it was not allowed per the ordinance and conveyed
that to the applicant/owner. Subsequently, a metal canopy and wooden storage shed was
installed within the same front yard without permits. The owner is currently storing his
ITEM # 3
Page 3 of 4
personal assets (sail boat, motor boat and truck) at this location under the canopy. In order
to rectify this situation, he is proposing to obtain approval via this PD zoning amendment
allowing for a structure in this platted front yard. The current plat of the property shows
the front yard building line at 50 feet from the right-of-way. He is requesting to legalize
the front yard canopy at an 8-inch setback from the property line. Because staff does not
want to set a precedence of approving permits retroactively of buildings that do not meet
the setback requirements, staff cannot recommend approval of this component of the
request. If this portion of the request is somehow approved, a building permit will be
required with a letter from a registered professional engineer attesting to the installation of
the structure meeting the intent of the engineered plan (attached).
Metal Shipping Container:
There is an eight-foot tall metal shipping container located on the rear property line that is
being used a storage container. It exceeds the 45-day allowance for portable storage and
shipping containers in Section 15-14-2 #17. Staff cannot support the container remaining
on site for more than 45 days. Even if it was treated as a permanent structure, the shipping
container does not meet material, placement, or construction standards in the non-
residential accessory building regulations in Section 12-35-1 or Chapter 15. Staff cannot
recommend approval of this temporary use to become permanent. However, staff could
support a PD amendment that allows for the addition of a permanent shed that is less than
150 square feet and that is setback a minimum distance of three feet to the property line
(currently allowed within the accessory structure regulations for a residential use).
Live/Work Unit Classification:
The detailed floor plan showing allocation of space between residential and commercial
uses is attached. According to Section 15-1-2 amending International Building Code
section 419.1.1 states: The first floor must be at least 50% non-residential. Overall, the
non-residential use can't be more than 50% of the building; therefore, a one-story live/work
unit, by definition, must be exactly 50% residential and 50% non-residential. Live/work
units are required to have an automatic fire sprinkler and alarm systems. The residential
portions are required to meet all building code requirements for dwellings and non-
residential portions must meet all building codes for the commercial use.
Staff toured the facility with the applicant. The east side of the structure has office space,
and a public restroom area, ice maker and refrigerator. The middle portion consists of a
living area with a large kitchen and marble island. The windows in this area have shutters
and shades from the applicant’s shutter business. The western portion has a guest room
and master bedroom with a master bath and utility room. This residential section can be
closed off from the main area by two barn-doors. Please refer to the attached pictures and
floor plan. The building will need to be inspected to ensure it is up to code. If it meets all
building code requirements and fire sprinklers are installed, staff can support this
conversion.
Conclusion:
Staff cannot support various components of the PD request, but may be able to support
others with the required modifications. The canopy and storage building in the front yard
does not meet the setback requirements of the platted lot (50' Front Yard) and was illegally
installed without a building permit. Staff is opposed to granting this component. The
shipping container in the rear of the site is not a permanent structure and is required to be

removed after 45 days. Staff cannot support this component. However, staff could support
the construction of a storage building in this location setback approximately 3’ from the
property line as long as it is less than 150 square feet in area. This would be compatible
with the provisions in a residential district and it is screened with an eight-foot wood-fence
on the rear, it will have little impact. Because this is such a unique site with a unique use,
staff could support the live/work unit provided it meets the building and fire code
requirements outlined above.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of certain components of the PD subject to the following conditions:
1. The live/work use in the main structure provided that:
a. Fire sprinklers are installed.
b. The building code requirements for both the commercial and residential components and
space allocation (50% residential & 50% commercial) are adhered to.
2. Remove the front yard canopy and storage building. Relocate the personal assets stored in the
front yard parking lot.
3. Remove the shipping container and replace with an accessory structure less than 150 square
feet setback from rear property line by a minimum of three feet.
4. If the front yard canopy and storage building is approved, then:
a. A building permit is required.
b. A letter is required from a registered professional engineer attesting to the installation of
the structure meeting the intent of the engineered plan.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
4. Take under advisement for reconsideration at a later date

Supplement to Zoning Application
July 9, 2019
HISTORY
In 2012/2013, P & Z and The City Council of Coppell approved an ordinance amending the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Map of the City of Coppell allowing the beginning of the
business now known as the Trinity River Kayak Co., LLC. In 2016, the City Council of Coppell
approved an amendment to the PD to allow supplemental signage, amend the allowable land uses
and a bathroom access plan to allow the primary building to be rented out to potential tenants.
The land consists of mainly 2 components: a leasable building in the front and a kayak rental and
shuttle business in the rear building and land.
The kayak rental business is still seasonally closed, but there is hope that by Summer 2019, our
weather conditions will support re-opening. Since 2015, all area lakes have been at or above
their conservation pools. This has required a higher volume of water being released into the Elm
Fork River which is adjacent to the property. The higher water level has adversely affected the
kayak rental business and required the business to evolve and adapt by expanding to other boat
type rentals beyond kayaks. The additional boats, trailers and equipment are being stored on the
property.
Currently (as part of the site plan/PD) an outdoor storage area exists on the property along the
southern portion of the property to store kayaks. The kayak rental business requires a lot of
additional equipment, including boats for rental, trucks and trailers to haul the
customers/equipment from the pick up points, tools, various ancillary equipment and boat
trailers. No storage buildings existed for these items and the equipment was exposed to the
elements and was not secured. Over many different instances, the owner has had trespassing
onto his property (Police files on record and video recording of recent incidents) which has
resulted in their equipment and tools being stolen (Police files on record) on multiple occasions.
Additionally, the recent hail storms have decimated the equipment on the property. The theft
and damage has resulted in owner suffering economic loss due to repairing/replacing the
equipment.
To help with protection from the elements, the owner had a structural engineer design a steel
frame open air overhead canopy to cover the parking area on the northern portion of the
property. This location is shielded from view via the existing 9’ retaining wall along Sandy Lake
Road so the owner thought this location would be the least noticeable location with views from
Sandy Lake Road. The steel frame open air canopy, which includes a solid metal roof, was
installed in early 2019 as the owner was not aware of the restrictions of the Site Plan and
ordinances and was trying to add protection from the trespassing, theft and damage. A small
portion (approximately 8’x16’) underneath the structure was enclosed to securely store smaller
equipment and tools. Refer to the images in the Site Plan Supplemental Exhibits.
To provide a secure, lockable storage area in the back of the property, the Owner located an
8’x8’x20’ storage container adjacent to the existing open air and unsecured kayak storage area.
The location of the accessory structure was in an area that was not visible from the property to
the south. The fence along the southern property line includes an 8’ wood fence and a 5’
ornamental metal fence. The owner situated the storage container in a location where it would
abut the 8’ wood fence so that the views of the river from the adjacent property owner were not
affected. The owner desires this storage container to be allowed to remain on the property
permanently.
Both of these items haven been installed on the property. The owner requests that the site plan
and zoning be amended to allow these structures so that the property is conforming as it currently
exists.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am the Engineer of Record for the foundation and framing of the covered storage at the above referenced project.
I have reviewed the installation of the structural steel. The structural steel appears to have been installed in
accordance with the construction documents and/or approved changes. The installation of the structural steel
meets the intent of the engineering plan.
If I can be of any further assistance or if there should be any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
