CITY OF COPPELL PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO.:, S-1155R2 DICKEY'S BARBECUE PIT P & Z HEARING DATE: August 17, 2000 C.C. HEARING DATE: September 12, 2000 LOCATION: 804 Bullock Drive SIZE OF AREA: Approximately 1.1 acres of property. CURRENT ZONING: C (Commercial) REQUEST: Amend and expand the existing Special Use Permit to permit additional parking on an adjacent property. APPLICANT: Henggeler Properties, L.P. Engineer: Doyle Engineering 804 Bullock Street 13649 Montfort Drive Coppell, Texas 75019 Suite 310 972-393-7800 Dallas, Texas 75240 FAX 972-304-5004 972-991-192 FAX 972-991-1188 HISTORY: This property was zoned for a restaurant and platted for development within on March 9, 1999. On March 14, 2000 an amendment to this SUP was approved to allow for a monument sign on the property. TRANSPORTATION: Denton Tap Road is a 6PD, six-lane divided thoroughfare contained within a 120-foot fight-of-my SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North- vacant; PD-108 LI South - vacant; "C" Commercial East - vacant; "LI" Light Industrial and "C" Commercial West-single-family housing; "C" Commercial ~[¥r,r~H ir~ ?O C.C. PACKET COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for mixed-use development, which includes restaurants. DISCUSSION: The current request is to amend and expand this SUP to allow for additional parking on the rear of an adjacent property on Bullock Road. Access to this additional parking will be via a driveway over an existing, but unpaved alley. Since Dickey's restaurant opened, there has been a shortage of parking for the employees as well as the customers. Vehicles have been parking on the vacant land to the south of the restaurant, as well as on the subject property on Bullock Road. On a site visit during the week of July 24th, cars were parked on unimproved surfaces in the front, side and rear yard of this existing residential structure. Bullock Drive is currently developed with single family homes, but zoned for commercial uses. Some of the homes have been converted to office uses, however, most are still occupied for residential uses. Therefore, diverting this traffic off of Bullock and onto Denton Tap Road is desirable. The site plan for the parking lot proposesl2 additional spaces, with a driveway connecting the parking lot to the existing Dickey's site. This driveway will be paved over an existing unimproved alley. Provisions need to be made to deter vehicles from accessing this unpaved alley, while allowing for the utility companies to maintain their existing facilities within this right-of-way. Staff is recommending that, six (6) inch curbs be placed on both sides of the driveway, as well as signage indicating no access to the alley is permitted. In the event that this does not deter access to the alley (and parking), then a more vertical structure may have to be installed, such as removable bollards. This additional parking area is required to be served by a 24' fire lane. According to the Fire Marshall, the fire lane must loop the existing parking lot and extend across the alley into the proposed parking lot. The platted existing fire lane is limited to the southeast comer of the h-act. Modifications to the fire lane can either be established through a re-plat or via a separate instrument. Finally, a 20-foot high lighting fixture is being proposed at the end of this parking lot, which is to be a down light, as to not negatively impact residences in close proximity to this site. The site plan indicates that the remaining portion of the lot and building fronting Bullock will be utilized as an office and the provision of four (4) parking spaces. A note needs to be placed on the site plan that states that '~tis portion of the site plan is for illustrative purposes only, and does not constitute site plan approval for this portion of the lof, The landscaping notes also need to be removed from the site plan. ATTACHED TO C.C. PACKET The amount of landscaping shown on the Landscape Plan appears to meet minimum requirements. The required 10-foot perimeter landscaping is provided along the property lines. A 5.4-foot buffer is being provided adjacent to the eight (8) foot wood fence that separates the parking lot from the existing structure on Bullock. Interior landscaping and number of trees provided appears to exceed ordinance requirements. Given that no buildings are being constructed on this tract, non-vehicular landscaping is not applicable. However, the tabulations on the landscape plan do not reflect the landscaping required or being provided on the property, and need to be corrected. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Although this is not an ideal solution to this existing parking problem, it is beneficial to the existing residents on Bullock, the employees, and patrons of this established restaurant. Therefore, staff is recommending APPROVAL subject to the following conditions: 1. Access to the alley shall be prohibited, except by utility companies, through the installation of 6" curbs and signage. In the event that this alley is being used for additional parking and access to Dickey's then additional traffic diverters will be constructed at the owner's expense, subject to approval by the city and the effected utility companies. 2. Submission of a parking agreement for the use of this "off-site" parking lot for Dickey's Restaurant. 3. A note being added to the Site Plan and the Landscape Plan stating that "the office and associated parking on the front portion of this lot as indicated on the site plan is for illustrative purposes only, and does not constitute site plan approval for this portion of the lot". 4. The tabulations on the landscape plan need to be revised to reflect the landscaping indicated on the site plan. 5. The parking lot light shall be a maximum height of 20 feet, and shall be of a down light type, as defined in Section 36-3 of the Zoning Ordinance, which shall not produce glare onto adjacent residential properties. 6. The site plan shall be revised to provide and clearly indicate that the required 24' wide fire lane loops the existing parking lot and extends across the alley into the proposed parking lot. 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.

It does not meet the requirements that we provided to them. The fire lane is to loop around the existing parking lot and is to be designated as "Fire Lane Easement".
