Introduction:
The purpose of this agenda item is to ask Council to approve an Ordinance for case S-1264-C, and to
authorize the Mayor to sign. On November 17, 2022, this request was recommended for approval by
the Planning and Zoning Commission (6-0). On December 13, 2022, the item was approved by the
Coppell City Council (7-0), subject to the following conditions which have been included in the
ordinance:
1. The hours of operation shall not exceed 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
2. An external grease trap will be required, a minimum of 1,000 gallons.
3. There will be additional comments at the time of Building Permit.
Background:
This 35,000-square foot shopping center was constructed in 1984 and is occupied with a variety of
office, retail, personal service and restaurant uses. On August 14, 2014, the Board of Adjustment
reviewed the characteristics of the tenant mix including hours of operation and granted a speci al
exception of 50 parking spaces for this entire retail center (225 parking spaces required was reduced
to 175 parking spaces) allowing for additional restaurant uses. Since that time Salata opened in a
former bank facility and Wingstop opened in Suite 105. In the attached parking analysis, they indicate
that there is adequate parking to meet their needs and show that it will be in compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance and previous BOA exception.
