Summary

Planning staff said a state‑licensed, noncommercial driving school at 615 Small Hill St., Suite 112 would offer online courses, classroom instruction limited to six students per class, behind‑the‑wheel training stored at a Coppell location, and recommended a condition requiring tenant/landlord solid‑waste verification prior to certificate of occupancy.

City planning staff presented a specific use permit request for a state‑licensed, noncommercial driving school proposed at 615 Small Hill Street, Suite 112. The presenter said most operations will be by appointment and that instructor vehicles and road‑testing vehicles will be stored at the applicant's Coppell location rather than on site.

"This is a state licensed, non commercial driving school providing standard driver education courses that includes online driver education courses, behind the wheel training, and authorized 3rd party road testing," a staff presenter said. Staff added the site is in a commercial zone with shared parking that meets the parking requirements and that classes will be limited to six students each with staggered shifts.

The development review committee recommended approval with a condition: prior to certificate of occupancy the applicant must provide a signed tenant/landlord solid‑waste verification form to the Public Health and Environmental Quality Department, showing permission to use the city's solid‑waste provider and provision of a minimum 2‑cubic‑yard dumpster. Staff reported zero support and zero opposition letters on the notice list for this site. No formal action was taken during the staff briefing; the applicant will present at the regular meeting public hearing.
