HISTORY: In April of 2002, Council accepted the Old Coppell Master Plan as a guide for
development of the subject property. In March 2011, Coppell 2030- A
Comprehensive Master Plan was adopted by Council, which incorporated the
concepts of the Old Coppell Master Plan.
The subject property was part of a rezoning in 2007, that established 25 townhome
lots to the east and commercial/office/retail on this lot.
In November 2015, Council approved the Lost Creek Phase II Live/work units
across Heath Lane from this request, which consisted of 3 live/work units.
Subsequently, during the construction of the units, a request for a revision to the
Planned Development zoning to allow a variance to the requirement to build a
screening wall on the east property line of that lot was denied. A six-foot brick wall
has since been constructed.

In August 2018, Council approved a zoning change request to allow two live/work
units to the north of this property on McNear and S Coppell Road. A variance to
the wall requirement was approved in that instance.
Most recently, in September 2021, Council approved the Planned Development-
213R6-H subject to the following conditions:
1. There may be additional comments during the building permit and
detailed engineering review.
2. A replat will be required to subdivide the lots and to provide
easements.
3. Submit draft HOA documents for City Attorney review. These shall
be filed with the plat.
4. An exception be granted to allow an eight-foot wood fence in lieu
of a six-foot brick wall on the eastern property line. This will be
owned and maintained by the HOA.
5. No more than one unit shall be a high parking generator (1 space per
175 square feet). This includes uses such as medical & dental office
and chiropractor. The remaining uses will be professional office.
6. Garages shall only be used for the parking of vehicles, no
workspace.
7. Screening of second floor patio area is required to reduce the sight
lines to the adjacent residences to the east.
HISTORIC COMMENT: This property has no historical significance.
TRANSPORTATION: Coppell Road is a C2U, concrete two-lane undivided street with curb and gutter
contained within a 60-foot right-of-way. Heath Lane is a concrete residential street
