MacArthur Blvd., with a maximum enrollment of 100 students and subject to standard engineering review and staff conditions.

Staff recommended approval, saying the school would use an existing facility during hours when it is not otherwise occupied and that on-site circulation should prevent congestion spilling onto MacArthur. Matt Steer, development services administrator, said, \"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.\" The commission voted unanimously to approve the permit.

The applicant and staff emphasized traffic management and internal stacking on the property as the primary public-safety concern. The application states the school would enroll prekindergarten-3 through 12th grade, operate Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and anticipate 60 students the first year and 80 the second year, with a 100-student cap written into the permit. The submitted circulation plan estimates a maximum vehicular queue of 36 vehicles and up to three vehicles loading or unloading simultaneously. Catherine Clayton, representing the applicant, said the school expects a mix of two-, three- and five-day enrollments and told the commission, \"we believe this school will be an asset to the city,\" adding that on a typical day the campus would not host full enrollment.

Engineering staff said they are reviewing the site and the nearby intersection, and that a broader safety study of the MacArthur/StarLeaf intersection is already under way. Aaron Tanner, assistant director of public works (engineering), told the commission, \"we are currently looking to study this area and what can be done at this intersection to improve safety and we can definitely include looking at the school's own limits in that study.\" One written opposition from a resident within 800 feet raised concerns about vehicle speeds, signage and the nearby Riverchase Elementary School; staff noted there were no responses from the immediate 200-foot notice area required by state law.

The school said it will staff arrival and dismissal to direct circulation on site. A school representative, Bond Palmore, described operational limits for families: \"we will have a strict policy of you can drop off students beginning at, 07:30 and then they all students have to be picked up by 4PM and that, an email will be sent out if if that is ever broken.\" Staff also noted the city is in the process of purchasing an adjacent parking parcel that could affect future circulation; commissioners discussed the possibility of bollards or other controls if the parcel's use changes.

Action and next steps: Commissioner Guerra moved to approve the special-use permit subject to staff conditions; Vice Chair Sue Blankenship seconded the motion and the commission recorded a unanimous roll-call vote. The staff conditions noted in the hearing include completing engineering review comments and maintaining the school as a private school licensed in accordance with state law; the permit includes the 100-student cap. The commission record shows no further public testimony in opposition during the hearing.

The commission’s approval was limited to the application and conditions before it; staff told commissioners that additional engineering comments may be generated during final review and that operational controls, signage and any changes to the adjacent parking parcel will be addressed through the city's engineering and permitting process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning - 06/18/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission on June 18 approved a special-use permit allowing Saint Constantine School to operate a private school at the Church of the Apostles, 322 S.

Matt Steer, development services administrator, told the commission the applicant removed an oven and full-size refrigerator from guest-room plans, which changed the project's zoning classification. \"Therefore the category of requirements that need to be met are under a hotel not a resident host hotel,\" Steer said, noting that the city’s residential-extended-stay standard (22 units per acre) no longer applied because the rooms lack a complete kitchen.

The proposed TownePlace Suites would occupy 2.46 acres as Lot 7 R-2 after a boundary adjustment with the adjacent Lot 6 R; the hotel building is shown as 76,346 square feet with 131 rooms, a 600-square-foot outdoor pool, meeting space and other guest amenities. The development's landscape plan follows the previously approved conceptual planned development, and the applicant told the commission it intends to construct the project's linear park amenity in the first phase.

Applicant Patrick Filson of Kirkman Engineering, representing Victory Real Estate Group and Stonewood Hotel Group, addressed parking concerns and told commissioners the hotel operator has experience with parking demand in similar projects. Filson said owners are prepared to provide on-site shuttles and described the site's broader parking context: \"owners are certainly happy to provide that as part of the ordinance. They they will will have 2 shuttles.\" Staff cited precedent: while some hotels in Coppell have met full parking ratios, recent approvals have included variances when operators commit to shuttles or when a holistic site-wide parking analysis showed adequate supply.

Commissioners discussed potential remedies if on-site parking proved insufficient, including shared parking agreements within the overall development and a shuttle requirement. Commissioner Sue Blankenship proposed adding a shuttle requirement as a condition; the final motion approved the PD revision and included a condition requiring a hotel shuttle. Commissioner Cindy Bishop asked about meeting-space capacity; staff and the applicant said the primary meeting room would hold roughly 100 people and that meeting events typically occur during daytime hours when hotel parking demand is lower.

Action and conditions: The commission approved the replat (Victory at Coppell Addition, Lots 1R–11R) and the PD revision for Lot 7 R-2 and a modified conceptual plan for Lot 6 R-2. Staff conditions include completion of detailed engineering review and a required replat before permitting; the commission added a shuttle-service condition for the hotel. The motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.

Next steps: Staff noted a replat and the completion of engineering review are required before the hotel and other lots may receive building permits. The commission also recorded that the site's proximity to DFW Airport requires the developer to comply with airport approach and height regulations as part of the permit process.","Coppell planners approved a replat for Victory at Coppell and a detailed plan for a five-story, 131-room TownePlace Suites on June 18, granting an exception from the city's parking standard (132 proposed vs. 146 required) and adding a shuttle-service condition; applicant cited airport travelers and two dedicated shuttles.","actionData","errors"]
