Council approves revised South Belt Line concept including Tempo by Hilton hotel
Summary
Coppell approved PD‑301R5 to revise the concept plan for ~16.77 acres at South Belt Line and Dividend Drive, allowing expanded retail/restaurant footprints, more patios and a five‑story Tempo by Hilton hotel with roughly 140 rooms; staff added new PD conditions for artwork/lighting and patio parking exceptions.
On Nov. 12, 2024 the Coppell City Council approved a revision to the PD‑301 concept plan that reconfigures development at the southeast quadrant of South Belt Line Road and Dividend Drive, including a multi‑lot retail/restaurant center and a five‑story Tempo by Hilton hotel.
Planner Mary Perron Boswell said the revised plan increases the number of buildable lots to 11 on about 16.77 acres, enlarges several multi‑tenant retail/restaurant buildings and replaces an earlier office concept with a proposed 79,202‑square‑foot, five‑story, 140‑room Tempo hotel. Staff emphasized a linear park to be constructed in phase 1, landscape buffers ranging from 30 to 60 feet on South Belt Line Road, and parking and access distributed across multiple driveways along Dividend Drive, Hackberry and South Belt Line Road.
Boswell said Planning & Zoning recommended unanimous approval and listed PD conditions and technical requirements: final platting before permitting; updated traffic impact analysis to reflect expanded footprints; a right‑turn lane on South Belt Line Road (already completed per staff), and detailed site plans for the phase‑1 lots. New conditions added at review requested approval to allow an art/lighting component for the Tempo hotel façade, to exempt patios under 500 square feet from additional parking requirements, and to accept the shown setbacks.
Applicant Bobby Mendoza of Victory Real Estate Group said tenant interest is currently strong for restaurants and that the development is approximately 40% leased across the first buildings; he estimated infrastructure work would take about five months and the phase‑1 buildings could begin construction within 4–5 months, with broader buildout to follow depending on tenant design and leasing.
Council voted to close the public hearing and approve PD‑301R5 with the staff‑recommended conditions. Engineering and fire review will continue in the detailed site plan phase and final plats must be recorded before building permits are issued.
