At the June 12, 2018 meeting, the Coppell City Council voted six to one to approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment to the agreement between the City of Coppell and Core Construction, giving the City the green light to begin construction of a new Performing Arts Center located in Old Town Coppell, the City's historic district. At the July 24, 2018 meeting, the City Council unanimously voted to approve additional seats in the Main Stage Theater.
The Coppell Performing Arts Center is planned to be 32,250 square-foot, one-story building, that will include a flexible theater, a main stage theater, a multipurpose room that expands the facility’s use beyond just the arts, exhibit, classroom and office space and a courtyard plaza. Construction is estimated to be completed by Spring 2020. The project will be funded through the Coppell Recreation Development Corporation (CRDC), a sales tax revenue fund that was established to undertake projects for youth and adult amateur athletics, entertainment and public gathering facilities, exhibition and museum facilities, parks and recreational facilities and more. Coppell voters re-authorized the CRDC’s use of sales tax revenue in the November 5, 2013 election.
Print copies of Coppell News, the city's monthly newsletter, are distributed to residents with their monthly water bills and can also be found at most City buildings.

The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW Airport) is one of the largest airports in the world and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Buying a home or establishing a business in Coppell affords not only the luxury of having easy access to the airport, but also results in periodic airplane traffic and noise. The City and airport work in partnership regarding zoning compatibility, noise monitoring, public education and other areas where the airport impacts the community and those who live and work here.
Our community will sometimes be impacted by changes in runway schedules as DFW Airport undergoes various capital improvement projects to keep the infrastructure maintained, as well as due to weather conditions. The DFW Noise Compatibility Office is the primary liaison between neighboring communities, residents, municipalities, airlines, FAA, universities, NASA and Board staff to demonstrate noise and land use compliance deliverables, meet, educate, research, assist and advise on aircraft noise, flight patterns, airspace and related actions.
For Noise Complaints:
Call: 972-973-3192
Email: dfwnoise@dfwairport.com
Runway 17C/35C will return to service and be fully operational with the first flights arriving at 7 a.m. on March 10, 2019. Runway 17C/35C is DFW’s primary runway and it will support our mission to connect the Dallas Fort Worth region to the rest of the world for decades to come.
Runway 17C/35C was closed for rehabilitation from May 2018-February 2019. The runway rehabilitation project included a partial closure from late May to early August 2018 and a full closure beginning in August. The airport initially projected that the runway would reopen in mid-November, but, due to weather and unforeseen site conditions, the closure was extended.
While DFW International Airport's projections indicated that there would be no temporary noise impacts (as defined by the FAA) over Coppell, the increased air traffic has resulted in more noise over the city.
While runway 17C/35C was closed, air traffic was diverted to runway 17L/35R, and an increased number of planes flew above Coppell.
According to DFW International Airport, Runway 17C/35C serves as the primary arrival runway, handling approximately 40% of daily arrivals. The runway was more than 30 years old, and it was in need of significant repair.
The runway rehabilitation project included:
West Side of Coppell
The west side of Coppell was zoned light industrial/commercial use for a reason - DFW Airport flight paths fly directly over this portion of Coppell. Some neighborhoods close to this side of town might also be impacted by aircraft noise. Visit the DFW Airport noise overlay map to examine how aircraft operations might affect your home or business.

August 8, 2017 - DFW Airport Noise Program Update
Representatives from DFW Airport provided an update to the City Council regarding some of the work currently going on at the airport and how it might impact Coppell residents. View the video and presentation.

CITY OF COPPELL ALARM PERMIT program
Obtain a new permit or renew online
If you have questions about the Alarm Permit Program please contact PMAM Corporation, at 877-874-6884, Monday - Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm, or visit cityalarmpermit.com for more information.
False alarms cost the City and its citizens thousands of dollars each year and take police officers away from actual emergencies. In 2011, the Coppell Police Department responded to more than 1,600 false alarms.
In an effort to prevent unnecessary emergency false alarm responses the Coppell City Council adopted a revised alarm ordinance located in Emergency Alarm Systems, Chapter 9, Article 9-12 of the City of Coppell Municipal Code. The alarm ordinance establishes regulations for the use and operation of alarm systems within the city. A permit is required for each alarm site and each type of alarm system in residential dwellings and in businesses. Permits must be obtained within 30 days of installation and renewed annually.
Each permit application must contain the name, address, and telephone number of the person who is responsible for the proper maintenance and operation of the alarm system and payment of fees or charges levied under this article. Each permit application must also contain the name, address, and telephone number of at least two persons who are able and have agreed to receive notification from a member of the Coppell Police Department or Coppell Fire Department at any time and to come to the alarm site within 40 minutes after receiving such notification.
An alarm permit cannot be transferred to another person. However, the individual designated to respond to an alarm or relay an alarm (such as your alarm company) may be changed. A permit holder must inform the City of any change that alters information listed on the permit application. No fee will be assessed for such changes.
A residential alarm permit registration fee of $30 will be collected for first-time permit applications. Annual residential renewal fees are $20. Residential alarm permits must be renewed annually approximately 365 days after the initial registration or last renewal date. A first-time business residential alarm permit fee is $50 and the annual renewal fee is $50. All fees are non-refundable. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to pay the renewal fee prior to the expiration date of the permit.
If any permit holder has multiple false alarms in the twelve month period, the holder shall be assessed a service fee for the alarms.
A permit holder must pay any service fee assessed under the provisions of the Ordinance within 15 days after receipt of notice.
The City shall not consider an alarm notification to be false if it is determined that the alarm was caused by; A) A natural or man-made catastrophe; B) Severe weather that causes physical damage to the premises; C) Vandalism; D) Telephone line outage; or E) Attempted entry or attempted robbery.
In high-risk of loss of life occupancies such as hotels, motels, hospitals, nursing homes, residential care facilities, educational uses, including daycare centers and theaters where a fire alarm was: (i) Caused by undetermined means, or (ii) Caused by conditions not under control of the building management such as manual false alarms, or smoking, the determination of the director in classifying an alarm notification as false or actual is final.
In addition, in an effort to reduce false alarms and increase administrative efficiency PMAM Corporation has been hired to implement and administer the City of Coppell’s Alarm Permit Program. As of May 1, 2012, PMAM administers the management of alarm permits and false alarm fees. Permit applications and renewals are easily accessed online.
If you have questions about the Alarm Permit Program please contact PMAM Corporation, at 877-874-6884, Monday-Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm, or visit cityalarmpermit.com for more information
The department shall perform a records check and criminal history check on any applicant for ride-along. A person shall not ride unless approval has been granted and the waiver completed. Approval will be for no more than one specific eight hour period unless special limitations or extensions are granted by the Chief of Police or Deputy Chief. No individual shall be granted permission for a repeat observation ride within a 12 month period. Hours of observation are limited to 7 am until 11 pm. Males will wear slacks and shirt with collar. Jeans are not appropriate attire. Close toed shoes are required. Females will wear dresses or slacks and blouses. Jeans are not appropriate attire. Close toed shoes are required.
RACIAL PROFILING POLICY
Coppell Police Officers are strictly prohibited from engaging in racial profiling. Racial profiling is defined as a law enforcement-initiated action based on an individual's race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than on the individual's behavior or on information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity.
Any person who believes they are a victim of racial profiling is urged to speak with an on-duty supervisor at 972-304-3610. We would prefer to speak with you in person but all complaints will be addressed regardless of the manner they are received. If the matter proves to be more serious in nature, Texas state law requires that the complaint be signed and in writing. A brochure on how to file this complaint is available at the police department or can be downloaded from this web site.
To maintain a professional and impartial relationship with motorists stopped for traffic violations, the Coppell Police Department has equipped every vehicle used for enforcement with an audio/video recording system. Officers are required to activate the cameras during all traffic and pedestrian stops and the recording is available for review by supervisors in the event of a complaint.
An annual analysis of traffic stops that result in a citation or arrest is completed each year and submitted to the City Council by March 1. A copy of the annual report is also forwarded to the Coppell Public Library for citizen review.
