Staff Comments Mr. Haskins addressed the Commissioners stating that at the direction of City Council, staff has begun work with a consultant for an update to the 2021 Comprehensive Master Plan for the City of Wylie. A beginning step in this process is the formation of a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee(CPAC). The CPAC will work directly with the consultant team to develop the draft plan and will serve as a way for various citizens and City Staff to be directly involved in the planning process. CPAC will meet for 2 - 3 hours at least once a month, possibly on a Thursday. This encompasses meetings, work sessions, and two open houses. The process is expected to last about one year and be completed by Summer of 2022. The committee serves in an advisory capacity that will work with Staff and the consultant and make recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission, and then recommendations to City Council. The Comp Plan will be used as a guide,with chapters, one transportation and one being land use. Commissioners Discussion Chair Chandler opened the discussion by asking for volunteers. Commissioner Stone nominated Chair Chandler to be on the Committee. Commissioner Kenfield volunteered to be on the Committee also. The Minutes July 8,2021 Historic Review Page 2 Commissioners questioned Chair Chandler and Commissioner Kenfield for the reason why they want to be on the Committee, differences between the two reasons, land use perspective, and their historical perspective. Chair Chandler stated that he has lived in Wylie for nine years and has marketing experience. The importance of being on the CPAC is to make sure heritage is not forgotten, such as parcels of land or buildings that need to be remembered. Land Use definition is making sense of where apartments and businesses are allowed to go, with the main understanding of where the single-family residential homes are located, and that property values are not affected when next to an apartment or business, and to attract more sit-down restaurants. The historical perspective is to maintain the look of the downtown and advantageous for other uses to come to the downtown area, but don't lose the historical value and integrity. Commissioner Kenfield stated that she has lived in Wylie for six years and is interested in metro-region transportation blended into Wylie as an overall. She stated the rapid growth, and value on each side of the perspective. View the Land Use as tax-base, will it support the city long-term on tax-base and reserve enough land for restaurants and apartments. Perspective to bring to the committee, advocate to the preserving historical landmarks, and not so much as the type of use allowed. The type of use is market base driven and not so much put in the comp plan. Commissioners Action A motion was made by Vice Chair Stone and seconded by Commissioner Besadesky to appoint Chair Chandler as Board Member to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee. A vote was taken and carried 5-0. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Chair Chandler, and seconded by Commissioner Kenfield,to adjourn the meeting at 6:42PM. A vote was taken and carried 5 -0.
