HISTORY: In October 1997, City Council approved a site plan and a
preliminary plat for a 24,620 square foot retail center, known as
Eleanor's Square. It was final planned in May of the next year. In
October 1998, City Council approved a request by the current
applicant to allow for the establishment of a 3,000 square-foot
restaurant. In December of 1998, a site plan amendment was
approved which allowed a monument to be located at the corner of
Denton Tap Road and Town Center Drive for this retail center. In
February of 1999, this lot was replatted to move a water easement
to allow for the construction of the monument sign. In May of
1999, City Council approved an amendment to the site plan to
allow Blockbuster to have an eighteen square-foot, yellow and blue

attached sign at the corner of the building. Special Use Permits
have also been granted for Subway and Smoothie Factory in this
retail center.
TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is an improved six-lane divided thoroughfare
(P6D) contained within a 100'-wide right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant; TC (Town Center)
South -Comerica Bank; TC (Town Center)
East - City of Coppell Justice Center; TC (Town Center)
West- Market at Town Center and Sonic Restaurant; PD-178 and C
(Commercial)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
neighborhood retail.
DISCUSSION: As discussed in the HISTORY section, the S.U.P. for this restaurant was
established in 1998 for a 3,000 square-foot restaurant, with 116 seats.
The current request is to expand this restaurant by 1,400 square feet,
adding 76 seats for a total of 192 seats. No changes are proposed for the
signage or the hours of operation; however, the conversion of retail lease
space to a restaurant does alter the required number of parking spaces
from one space per 200 square feet to one space per 100 square feet.
Therefore, an additional seven spaces would be required to serve this
expanded restaurant.
The following table is a breakdown of the existing leases in this retail
center, their square footages, and required number of parking spaces:
TENANT PARKING LEASE REQUIRED
REQUIRED PER SPACE PARKING
SQUARE FOOT
Nail Salon 200 1,050 5
Cleaners 200 2,100 11
Subway 100 2,000 20
Blockbuster 200 6,500 33
7 Salsa's 100 4,400 44
Smoothie Factory 100 1,000 10
Title Company 300 1,600 5
Skin Care 200 1,560 8
Frame Shop 200 2,300 12
Boutique 200 1,500 8
TOTAL 24,010 156
Page 2 of 3
Item # 4
Eleanor's Square currently has 153 parking spaces and with this
restaurant expansion, 156 will be required, resulting in a shortage of
three parking spaces. Therefore, the owner/applicant will need to
request relief from the Board of Adjustment to allow for this parking
deficit. It is staff's understanding that this restaurant will encourage the
use of the existing rear-door entrance to so that patrons will park in the
under-utilized parking spaces at the rear of the building during peak
times.
Given that the hours of operation, signage and the type of restaurant will
not change and this expansion will only impact parking, staff can support
this request, subject to a three parking space variance being granted by
the Board of Adjustment.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of the expansion of 7 Salsas's restaurant,
subject to the following conditions:
1) Board of Adjustment approval of a three parking space variance.
2) All conditions required in S-1149.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request.
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
4) Hold Special Use Permit under advisement
ATTACHMENTS: 1) Site Plan for Eleanor's Square Retail Center
2) Floor Plan for 7 Salsas
