Commission clears larger Victory Coppell retail building with one drive-through lane

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a revised detailed plan for Lot 2, Block A of the Victory Coppell development, allowing a 10,540-square-foot retail/restaurant building with a single drive-through lane. Mary Perrone Boswell said the concept plan for the larger mixed-use development has evolved since 2022; Lot 2 had previously been approved for a 9,095-square-foot building with two drive-through lanes. The applicant enlarged the building, removed one drive-through, added parking at the rear and located a fire-riser room outside the building. The site includes a 30–60-foot landscaped buffer along South Belt Line Road and a portion of a “linear park” that the applicant proposes to build in phase one: a five-foot sidewalk, benches, arbors, seasonal colors and a connecting path to the approved hotel. There were no written public responses; staff recommended approval with standard conditions including a required replat prior to permitting and further engineering review during detailed plan review. The commission approved the plan unanimously; the applicant must file the replat before receiving permits and comply with signage and other PD conditions.
