A significant development project is set to reshape the landscape of Coppell, Texas, as the City Council approved a replat to create 11 commercial lots on a 16.77-acre site along South Beltline Road. The decision, made during a recent Planning and Zoning meeting, allows Beltline Properties LLC to move forward with construction plans that include a mix of retail, restaurants, and a TownePlace Suites hotel.
The replat, presented by Kirkman Engineering, was essential for the project, which had previously been approved in late 2024. The new configuration will enable the construction of the first phase of the development, which aims to enhance the area’s commercial offerings. The approved concept plan includes detailed plans for four of the eleven lots, with the hotel being a key feature.
City staff recommended approval of the replat, noting that it aligns with the overall development goals for the site. The council's decision also included conditions for further engineering reviews and the requirement for a replat before permitting.
In a related discussion, the council reviewed a detailed plan for the TownePlace Suites hotel, which will feature 131 rooms across five stories. The hotel will include amenities such as a limited-service restaurant, meeting spaces, and an outdoor pool. Notably, the hotel will not include full kitchen facilities, allowing it to be classified under standard hotel regulations rather than extended-stay requirements.
Concerns about parking were addressed, with the applicant requesting an exception to the required parking spaces. The hotel plans to provide shuttle services to and from DFW Airport, which was a significant factor in the council's approval of the parking variance.
The council's unanimous vote reflects a commitment to fostering commercial growth in Coppell while ensuring that developments meet community standards and needs. As construction begins, the project is expected to contribute positively to the local economy and enhance the area's appeal to visitors and residents alike.
