COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA
P & Z HEARING DATE: April 17, 1997
C.C. HEARING DATE: May 13, 1997
LOCATION: Approximately 1,320 feet west of Coppell Road; 1,390 feet north
of Sandy Lake Road.
SIZE OF AREA: .0893 acres; 2,500 square feet of lease area; 1,390.8 square feet
of access
CURRENT ZONING: LI (Light Industrial)
REQUEST: LI-S.U.P. (Light Industrial, Special Use Permit).
APPLICANT: Applicant: Engineer:
Nextel of Texas, Inc. JRH Architects
8585 N. Stemmons Freeway, 2001 Bryan Tower,
10th Floor, South Tower Suite 2720
Dallas, TX 75247 Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 599-8400 (214) 979-0201
HISTORY: No zoning history at this specific location, however on the larger property
which affords the site lease, two special use permits have been approved
for gas wells.
TRANSPORTATION: Sandy Lake Road is a two-lane asphalt road within a variable
width right-of-way, shown on the thoroughfare plan as C4D four-
lane divided collector street to be built within a 110'-wide right-of-
way. Coppell Road is a 2-lane blacktop road contained within a
60'-wide right-of-way.
Item # 4
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
South - vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
East vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
West - vacant; "LI" Light Industrial
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property suitable for
light industrial and showroom uses.
DISCUSSION: The location of the proposed monopole does not meet the prescribed
setback from future divided thoroughfares as shown on the Thoroughfare
Plan. However, if the goals of Section 32A will be served better thereby,
the Planning and Zoning and City Council can modify the setback
requirement. In this case, Parkway Boulevard and Freeport Parkway may
not be constructed on this property for several years. Therefore, if the
duration of the special use permit is sufficiently limited, the goal of
reducing the prominence of cellular towers can still be met.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:

and the following conditions:
1. Applicant shall replace any landscape material it plants which does
not survive.
2. The roadway shall be maintained to support 40,000 pounds.
