So the Coppell P&Z Commission (torturously, but it is not up yet) voted to only allow mixed use up to 10 units per acre at the following three locations: 1) Beltline and Beltline / Southwestern, 2) Beltline and MacArthur, and 3) Town Center and Denton Tap. The rest of the areas on the land use map are now off: no residential mixed with retail. They are just retail only. These are detailed in the maps posted earlier. Per my emails with the Coppell Planning and Zoning director, Gary Seib, the following will be part of the map amendments and verbiage to the Coppell Comprehensive Plan:
page 42 of the written Comprehensive Plan contains the definition we are recommending be changed at the Council meeting of June 14. We will utilize the same power point presentation format at the Council meeting and specifically recommend the following changes to the Mixed Use Community Center definition: “To provide areas of (delete high intensity) mixed use development consisting of both neighborhood and community serving commercial, retail and office uses, and medium (delete to high) density urban residential dwellings (delete typically, add no) greater than (delete 8, add 10) dwelling units per acre. Such areas are typically located in close proximity to major transportation corridors and transit stops. These areas provide opportunities for regional destinations offering unique retail, restaurant and culture designations with more urban lifestyle than available in other areas of the community.
Would note that this specific amendment was not part of the Staff Report or the other documents presented at P&Z this past Thursday. So we need to ensure that this is part of what is presented to City Council.
So this will NOT be at the Coppell City Council meeting this Tuesday. The next meeting on this will be the City Council meeting on 6/14/2016. Hope you are willing to turnout and comment to Council about this.
Note the transparency questions on this. Might want to raise these with Jean Murph at the Citizens’ Advocate who has been asking about this in Council agendas in recent issues.

[…] What about the density limits of 10 units per acre? We need to ensure this change is documented and part of the public record. […]
