Staff presentation and change in hotel classification

Matt Steer, development services administrator, told the commission the project increases Lot 7 R from 1.46 acres to 2.46 acres by transferring about one acre from adjacent Lot 6 R, and increases the building area on the site to 76,346 square feet for a 131‑room hotel. The developer removed an oven and full‑size refrigerator from the proposed in‑room amenities, which means the rooms no longer qualify as “complete kitchens” under Coppell’s ordinance; staff therefore treated the proposal under the city’s hotel rules rather than the residence/extended‑stay hotel standard.

Parking exception and shuttle commitments

Coppell’s ordinance requires 146 parking spaces for the proposed rooms and meeting area; the developer proposed 132 spaces and requested an exception. The applicant noted many guests will be corporate travelers arriving by rideshare from DFW and that the hotel operator plans two dedicated shuttle vans serving DFW and nearby businesses. Patrick Filson of Kirkman Engineering, speaking for the hotel developers, said the owners are experienced hotel operators and are comfortable with the proposed parking configuration. “There’s a bunch of uses that will collaborate together. Looking at it holistically, the parking as a whole is well over parked for the facilities that are being proposed today,” he said.

Staff recommended approval of the parking exception based on the sitewide parking availability, shuttle service and precedents in recent Coppell approvals. Commissioners added an explicit condition that the hotel provide shuttle service; the final approved PD language allows 132 spaces for the TownePlace Suites as depicted on the site plan and requires council approval for any changes to kitchen amenities or building materials outside the conceptual plan.

Landscaping, linear park and other approvals

Staff said landscaping and site design conform to the previously approved conceptual PD, including a linear park and pedestrian path that will connect through the development; the applicant proposed to construct the park in the first phase. Staff also required that any change in building materials outside the approved palette be sent to council for approval, that signage comply with city regulations at permitting, and that a replat be recorded for the affected lots prior to permitting.

Commission action

Commissioner Guerra moved to approve PD301R6HC for Lot 7 R2 and the revised conceptual plan for Lot 6 R2 in accordance with staff conditions, plus an added condition requiring hotel shuttle service; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously by roll call.

What remains

Approval is contingent on a required replat to record the lot boundary changes and on final engineering review. Staff noted that if on‑site parking proves insufficient, the development could rely on available parking across the overall site, and that any future change to on‑room kitchens would require council review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning - 06/18/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Coppell commission approved a five‑story, 131‑room TownePlace Suites hotel on South Beltline Road, allowing a parking exception (132 spaces vs. 146 required) and adding a condition that the operator provide shuttle service; the plan also revises a neighboring retail lot and requires replats and engineering review before permitting.","taxTitle","Coppell, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",55075,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":44,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194125,"Planning commission approves replat for Victory at Coppell development",233,3489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864832-18616ad36132a3c103f0618d05e97068&start=3489&end=3722","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864832-18616ad36132a3c103f0618d05e97068/thumbnail_3489000.jpg","/articles/6194125/Texas/Planning-commission-approves-replat-for-Victory-at-Coppell-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194125-396ea87a301d37894968daa2cc20462c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770832171&Signature=nkItdxGbmq871hJKzxlQ8HB5RwAEVhoXw6mPOlEw4qSwVQPyLWA1hsHbLpaGBIyMbhbr-nZwjzREXb9qcs8uSj1Lo4KLH3V8~rXMwoDu9T2TuyrkmVVexNNRBswg0cum8JkhFxu4PLUe9TrKFHtu7HlRraaRyzJTS8Uy~orA-LtvE6Nsy2vYEdv98AvvqCWPJNes-lBZ-fz~-OArpeDFEn6jJiTehB-de8e1gpgJButz~d1vfFIK8Z-SNhCHT8aBd8R1RxJ2KnrHMptNlGg0BR7PXJzPfBcwm1BmstRpR6Cnv4~XO4K5mZJP5X9IVLKUyydoFMoD2D213C1Vzow~bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission voted June 18 to approve a replat creating 11 commercial lots for the Victory at Coppell development, a 16.766-acre site along the east side of South Beltline Road between Dividend Drive and Hackberry Road.

Staff said the replat implements a concept plan the council approved in late 2024 and allows the developer to record the plat and begin construction of the project’s first phase. The detailed replat does not include two parcels that will be affected by a separate hotel plan to be considered on the same agenda; staff said those portions must be replatted again if the hotel plan is approved.

Patrick Filson of Kirkman Engineering, representing the applicant Victory Real Estate Group, told commissioners the developer is ready to record the plat and begin construction. Staff recommended approval subject to additional comments that may arise during detailed engineering review.

Commission action

Commissioner Bishop moved to approve the Victory at Coppell replat subject to staff conditions; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously by roll call. Staff noted the replat includes right-of-way abandonments and dedications of fire-lane easements and existing easements to avoid complicating the final replat for later revisions.

Next steps

Once recorded, the plat will allow the applicant to apply for building permits for the first phase. Staff warned that remaining concept-plan revisions or later approvals for the hotel parcels will require administrative replats and additional approvals before permits are issued.","The commission approved a replat to create 11 commercial lots in the Victory at Coppell development along South Beltline Road, allowing the developer to record the plat and begin phase-one construction, subject to engineering review and replat dependencies for later revisions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6194130,"Coppell planners approve temporary permit for Saint Constantine School at Church of the Apostles",1192,2095000,3287000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864832-18616ad36132a3c103f0618d05e97068&start=2095&end=3287","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864832-18616ad36132a3c103f0618d05e97068/thumbnail_2095000.jpg","/articles/6194130/Texas/Coppell-planners-approve-temporary-permit-for-Saint-Constantine-School-at-Church-of-the-Apostles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194130-b4b25998022c2bf630e57e1da16f0a9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770832171&Signature=U0za9k1rLaX~sqHWJqxNYUmLBt53NIFJ-qMs-xIMzpJVbuBI57XpdQtzsQiDR65zlRdqghTvmjFWA9Q-5g4xcMCIIiMJeIGxTSVsIcxK8pq8yEeRF8h2mW49OudJRaOzeZpslh5JkgBQazi1q0ZsQ-MsYIOV6YPEamNEHiBAGvthDENuTpVGzpcf0UeCo88r1liMahxcLpdoqCkrLh6Ro7FB~SpxaYb0wxLjOY0rU8xia4qmF3Qj-2XaRmucgcjOzPh6BFmP1zpoVcF2sqEn77SNN0bVBXGAOh7j3XkYwvw7Q5qrTi1DSvMuV7UVjorWegDXX6YMON3R8R0jAXhOJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission on June 18 approved a special-use permit allowing Saint Constantine School to operate a private pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade campus at Church of the Apostles, 322 S. MacArthur Blvd., with a maximum enrollment of 100 students.

Staff said the school would first operate with about 60 students in year one and about 80 in year two, and that hours would be Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Matt Steer, the city’s development services administrator, told the commission the school provided a traffic circulation plan that keeps vehicle stacking internal to the site and shows a maximum queue of 36 vehicles and up to three simultaneous loading locations.

The circulation plan and a commitment to on-site staff directing drop-off led staff to recommend approval. “All in all, staff is in support of the request and feels it’s a good use of space that’s not currently occupied during the proposed hours,” Steer said.

Neighbors: one opposition letter, engineering study

Staff said notices were mailed as required by state law — 14 notices within 200 feet and 146 courtesy notices within 800 feet — and the city received one written opposition from a resident within the 800-foot courtesy area. The letter raised concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety at the StarLeaf–MacArthur intersection, signage, and congestion related to nearby Riverchase Elementary School. Steer said staff and engineering would include the intersection in a safety study; Aaron Tanner, the assistant director of public works–engineering, said past signal-warrant studies did not support a traffic signal but that staff is studying measures to improve safety there.

Applicant responses and operational controls

Catherine Clayton, representing Saint Constantine School, said the site would be a temporary campus for one to two years and reiterated that most families would not generate daily vehicle trips because some students attend two or three days per week. “On any given day, we might have 50 to 75% of the total enrollment on campus,” she said, and added the school’s pickup is internal to the site so she did not expect students to cross MacArthur. School representative Bond Palmore told commissioners the school will set a strict drop-off and pickup policy, allowing drop-off beginning at 7:30 a.m. and requiring students be picked up by 4 p.m.; he said the school will notify families and consider enforcement measures if queuing occurs.

City property next door

Commissioners and staff noted the city is in the process of purchasing an adjacent parking parcel to the east; staff said the current configuration is a walkway connection rather than a shared driveway and that any configuration could change once the city closes on the property.

Commission action and conditions

Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to approve Special Use Permit SDash1113R2DashSF7 with staff-recommended conditions, including that the school operate as a private school in compliance with applicable state requirements, that enrollment not exceed 100 students, and that engineering review may generate additional conditions. The commission’s roll call showed unanimous approval; the motion carried.

What happens next

The permit takes effect under the stated conditions, and staff said engineering will complete its review and may add conditions tied to safety or traffic measures at the StarLeaf–MacArthur intersection.","The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve a special use permit allowing Saint Constantine School to operate a private pre-K–12 campus at the Church of the Apostles on South MacArthur Boulevard for up to two years, subject to staff conditions and engineering review.","actionData","errors"]
