REGULAR AGENDA
1. Hold a Public hearing to consider, and act upon a recommendation to the City Council to allow a
change in zoning from Downtown Historic District—Residential only to allow commercial and/or
residential uses, located at 401 N. Keefer within the Downtown Historic District. ZC 2022-04
Staff Comments
Mr. Haskins approached the Commissioners, stated that at the October 28, 2021 meeting, staff received direction
from the Historic Review Commission to move forward with presenting a rezoning case for the property located
at 401 N Keefer to allow both commercial and residential uses. The current base zoning is Downtown Historic
District and will not change.
In accordance with Section 6.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, the DTH district allows for both commercial and/or
residential uses in the same structure. However, some properties are restricted to residential uses only as adopted
by Ordinance 2015-08. Residential only properties were those lots west of Keefer to Cotton Belt and those
properties located north of Brown,west of the railroad tracks.
The subject property consists of two lots and is bordered on the east by St Louis Southwestern Railroad. The
property has been the subject of several requests for modifications and renovations over the years. The Wylie
Economic Development Corporation purchased the property in 2021 and is working with the railroad for
expanded ingress and egress access on property directly to the east.
Notifications were mailed to 23 surrounding property owners. One response was received in opposition and two
were received in favor of the request.
The Historic Review Commission considered the zoning request on January 27, 2022 and voted 6 -0 in favor of
allowing commercial and/or residential uses on the property.
Commissioners Discussion
Chair Plunk questioned the intent of the property. Ms. 011ie approached the Commissioners stating that Wylie
Economic Development Corporation purchased the property for a current owner within the Downtown Historic
District, who wants to relocate their business. The access to the property is shown as Keefer,but never used as a
thoroughfare street. If the request is recommended for approval by the P&Z Commission and ultimately approved
by City Council, the next step is platting. The design is not complete on whether there will be two lots or if all
three will be combined into one lot.
Commissioner Byrne questioned where the parking would be located. Ms. 011ie stated that the parking would be
on-site. Wylie Economic Development is working with the railroad to allow parking on their lot. The property
would not have direct backing access onto Brown,possible circular drive to access Brown.

Chair Plunk opened the Public Hearing on Item 1 at 6:17PM.
Ms. Mandy Wilson, Ms. Sandra Stone and Mr. Bob Heath all spoke in favor of the request and expressed concern
for visibility. Mr. Haskins responded that when the property is platted,the visibility standards would be required.
