A. The Purpose of this district is to accommodate planned associations of
uses developed as integral land use units such as industrial parks or indus-
trial districts, offices, commercial or service centers, shopping centers,
residential developments of multiple or mixed housing including attached single-
family dwellings or any appropriate combination of uses which may be planned,
developed or operated as integral land use units either by a single owner or
a combination of owners.
B. The City Council of the City of Wylie, after public hearing and proper
notice to all affected property owners and after recommendation of the City
Plan Commission, may authorize the creation of a Planned Unit Development
on sites of five (5) acres or more to accommodate various types of develop-
ments and conditions of development for any use or combination of uses per-
mitted within the City of Wylie by this ordinance. The uses to be permitted
in any specific Planned Unit Development shall be enumerated in the ordinance
establishing such district and shown on the approved plan for development
which become part of said ordinance.
C. In approving the development plan and the ordinance establishing the
Planned Unit Development, the City Council shall, after recommendation by
the City Plan Commission, specify such maximum height, floor-area ratio,
density and minimum off-street parking and loading standards within the
limits of those specified in the districts listed for the specific uses in-
volved as is appropriate for the development. The City Council, shall after
receiving the recommendation of the City Plan Commission, establish the stan-
dards for yards, signs, building spacing, site coverage, access, screening
or landscaping, building area, open space, pedestrian-ways, public or private
streets and alleys to be observed in a Planned Unit Development and such stan-
dards shall be specified in the ordinance establishing the district.
D. An application for a Planned Unit Development shall, if the applicants
desire or the City Plan Commission or City Council requires, be accompanied
by a development schedule indicating the appropriate date on which construction
is expected to begin and the rate of anticipated development to completion. The
development schedule, if adopted and approved by the City Council shall become
part of the development plan and shall be abhered to by the owner(s) or developer(s)
and their successors in interest.
E. Annually, where a development schedule has been required, the Bu~ld~ng In-
spector shall report to the City Plan Commission the actual development accomplished
in the various Planned Unit Development as compared with the Development Schedule.
F. The City Plan Commission may, if in its opinion the owner(s) or developer(s)
of property are failing or have failed to meet the approved schedule, initiate
proceedings to amend the Zoning District Map or the Planned Unit Development by
removing all or part of the Planned Unit Development from the Zoning District
Map and placing the area involved in another appropriate zoning district. Upon
the recommendation of the City Plan Commission and for good cause shown by the
owner(s) and developer(s) the City Council may also extend the development sche-
dule or adopt such new development as may be indicated by the facts and conditions
of the case.
G. Every Planned Unit Development approved under the provlslons of this ordinance
shall be considered as an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance as applicable to the
property involved. In carrying out the development of a Planned Unit Development,
the development conditions and the development schedule, if required, shall be
complied with and such conditions as are specified for the development of a Planned
Unit Development shall not be construed as conditions precedent to the approval
of the zoning amendment, but shall be construed as conditons precident to the
granting of a certificate of occupancy and compliance as required in the ordinance.
The first Planned Unit Development District created shall be shown on the
Zoning Map as PUD-l, and each subsequent Planned Development District cre-
ated shall be given the next numerical number. The Planning and Zoning
Department shall maintain a register and a file of all PUD Districts cre-
ated which shall contain the site plan, .a copy of the Ordinance creating
the district, and all other information concerning the Planned Unit Development
District.

companied by the development plan which shall become a part of the amending
ordinance and shall be referenced on the Zoning District Map. Changes in the
development plan shall be considered the same as changes in the Zoning Dis-
trict Map and shall be processed as required, except that changes of detail
which do not alter the basic relationship of the proposed development to ad-
jacent property and which do not alter the uses permitted or increase the den-
sity, floor-area ratio, height or coverage of the site, or which do not decrease
the off-street parking ratio, or reduce the yards provided at the boundary of
the site as indicated on the approved development plan may be authorized by the
C~ty Manager. Any applicant may appeal the decision of the City Manager to the
Clty Plan Commission for review and decision as to whether an amendment to the
Planned Unit Development ordinance shall be required.
I. The Development Plan shall include:
1. A scale drawing showing any proposed public or private streets and alleys;
building sites or building lots; any areas proposed for dedication or re-
served as parks, parkways, playgrounds, utility and garbage easements,
schools sites, street widening, street changes, the points of ingress
and egress from existing public streets on an accurate survey of the boun-
dary of tract and topography with contour interval of not less than five
(5) feet, or spot grades where the relief is limited.

ating the specific areas to be devoted to various uses shall be required.

of each building and the minimum distance between buildings, and between
buildings and the property line, street line one (1) story in height,
except single family and two-family residences, elevations and/or per-
spective drawings may be required in order that the relationship of the
buildings to adjacent property, open spaces and to other features of the
development plan may be determined. Such drawings need only indicate
the height, number of floors and exposures for access, light and air.
4. A Plan indicating the arrangement and provision of off-street parking
and off-street loading where required. Such a plan may be presented as
a ratio of off-street parking and off-street loading area to building
area when accompanied by a typical example indicating the feasibility of
the arrangement proposed and when the areas where the example would be
applied are dimensioned on the drawing of the entire site. Any special
traffic regulation facilities proposed or required to assure the safe
function of the circulation plan shall also be shown.
5. A designation of the maximum building coverage of the site shall be
indicated upon the site plan.
6. Screening or landscaping plan shall be required where such treatment
is essential to the proper arrangement of the development in relation
to adjacent property. Such plan shall, when required, include screening
walls, ornament planting, playgrounds, wooded areas to be retained,
lawns and gardens if such are determined to be necessary by the City
Council.
7. Any or all of the required features may be incorporated on a single
drawing if such drawing is clear and capable of evaluation by the
City Manager and interpretation of the Building Inspector.

dwelling defined as a dwelling unit on a separately platted lot which is
joined to another dwelling unit on one or more sides by a party wall or
abutting separate wall, served by separate wall, served by separate utilities
and not occupied by more than one family shall be permitted. The requirements
prescribed in the community development may be adopted to residential develop-
ments planned as Planned Units with variable housing wherein the types of
dwelling structure may vary from those permitted in the district in which the
development is proposed, as attached single-family or apartments in a single-
family area. In Planned Unit Development with residential uses may also be
approved for special apartment designs such as fourplex, a structure. with four
(4) living units, or a sixplex, a structure with six (6) living units, all of
which must comply with the minimum requirements of the MF, Multiple-Family
District.
K. In planned unit development, single-family detached dwellings which meet
the minimum requirments of the R-900, R-llOO, R-1300 single-family dwelling
districts and community unit development will be permitted when they are shown
on the approved land use development plan described in Section H of the zoning
ordinance.
It is the intention to provide for new design in single-family detached housing
developments, when such development meets the development needs of the city.
Such developments shall be known as "single-family detached clusters". To ade-
quately determine and establish the character of the development, the city may
require special designs, plot plans, site plans, screening and other information
and physical improvements. Single-family detached clusters shall be located
only in a planned unit development and shall meet the standards set out in Section
11.2.
L. In the event that the Developers and/or owners fail to comply with the plan
and/or schedule approved by the City Council and are found in violation of any
part of the ordinance establishing their specific Planned Unit Development
then the penalties as prescribed in Section 19 of the Zoning Ordinance shall be
imposed.
M. Developers/or owners of property not located within the Corporate limits of
the City of Wylie must petition for annexation in whole or part if the City Coun-
cil adopts a Planned Unit Development Ordinance by request of the developers/or
owners before the development is started.
