Commission approves Samaritan's Purse three‑story expansion and replat with conditions
Summary
The commission approved Samaritan's Purse’s request for a new three‑story, ~37,699 sq ft office building and companion replat on Creekview Drive, subject to conditions including a replat prior to engineering review, drainage analysis, landscaping adjustments and that any tree‑mitigation waiver is decided by City Council.
The Coppell Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve a zoning revision and companion replat allowing Samaritan’s Purse to build a three‑story, ~37,699-square-foot professional/office building and add a parking area south of the existing development near Creekview Drive.
Staff presentation and applicant remarks: Senior planner Mary Pompavio explained the project will remove some existing parking to make room for the new building and construct a new parking lot to the south, increasing on‑site spaces to a total of 399. The design shows brick elevations, a small pergola patio and landscaping; staff recommended approval with conditions including a replat, updated downstream drainage analysis, and that any tree‑mitigation waiver would be considered by City Council. Samaritan’s Purse representative Greg Yancey described the project’s operational needs (IT staff and training space, break room and devotions space) and asked the commission to approve the replat and site changes.
Commission action: After brief discussion and clarification that tree‑mitigation waivers fall to Council, the commission approved the PD revision and replat unanimously, subject to staff conditions including engineering review, recorded replat prior to permit, payment of mitigation fees if waivers are not granted, and final drainage analysis.
Next steps: The applicant must record the replat prior to engineering review and comply with any Council decisions regarding tree mitigation fees.
