l 1e..)' 'cai Context
The City of Wylie's story begins in 1885 as a
town called Nickelville. Nickelville was a small
North Texas frontier settlement and residents
heard word that the Santa Fe rail line was
headed in their direction, bringing the potential
for added prosperity to the town and region. t
When the Santa Fe line arrived, the agent and 4 ,4, 4. V''''''''' a
engineer in charge of determining the track ' , : �
route was Colonel W.D. Wylie who, after .f k `"" »��
numerous surveys, decided to lay the track just
north of Nickelville. a
'41104, , , ,..- ,
During this time, Colonel Wylie promised the , , .�
residents of Nickelville he would do great things + 't �
for the community if it bore his name. The _
convinced residents submitted Wylie's name to ,I, ,, ,,,; s
town leadership and, when the application for `°�� " ' � �'�� � �
the new post office was received in 1886, the '„ 7 " x *" r '
,„ n,
name became official.

Home Ownership
Understanding the ratio of owner-occupied and Figure 3-5. C ; y Wylie Renter vs. Owner
renter-occupied housing units within a Occupied Housing
community can be extremely valuable. This ratio
can help determine the resiliency of existing A`d i l';
housing stock as homeownership is considered
to be a long-term purchase by most. Generally,
those who live in the home they own tend to
take better care of the property which supports
quality, lasting neighborhoods.
Of Wylie's existing housing stock, 78.2% is
owner-occupied. The remaining 18.7% is
comprised of housing units that are renter- 78.2%
occupied. This differs from the State of Texas in
which it is estimated that 62.3% of homes are
owner-occupied and 37.7% are renter-
occupied.

Strategy LU6d. Preserve existing

Many residents have expressed their desire for
Wylie to maintain its rural, low-density character
and natural environment. As the remaining
vacant land in the City continues to develop,
the City can make efforts to preserve portions of
the remaining greenspace through strategic
purchases. Key areas for preservation include
the entryways into the City, particularly in
conjunction with gateway features (see LU2a)to
promote the desired image of Wylie.
Additionally, the wider right-of-way
recommended by the Rural Corridors (LU2b)
supports this strategy.

Continue to review the thoroughfare plan for
potential updates every three to four years and

whether the assigned functional classifications
are appropriate. Roadways that have been

City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance Diagnostic 07/07/2022 Item 1.
introduction
The City of Wylie's Zoning Ordinance —available for viewing on the City's website —is the
primary regulatory document that controls development within the municipal limits. Zoning
ordinances typically regulate development aspects such as land use, site design, building form,
parking, and landscaping. The current ordinance was adopted in November 2001 and has
been frequently updated, as recently as April 2022.
The purpose of this Diagnostic Memo is to outline proposed revisions to the existing
ordinance. This memo focuses on implementation of the Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive
Plan (anticipated for adoption in Summer 2022), aligning with current State law, and integrating
best practices into the City's development procedures. It is important to note that this list is not
exhaustive, as additional issues may be identified during the ordinance update process.
COI 1171 Y •atlon
1 . General (Jocates
The ordinance update should include general overall improvements to the document,
such as improving formatting and usability, correcting errors, and updating graphics.
2. Remove Specific Submittal anc Fee Requirements
Several sections (e.g., site plan and landscape plan) currently include lengthy lists of the
specific submittal requirements (e.g., size of page, north arrow, contours, grading
plans). The specific requirements should be removed from the ordinance and instead
be maintained administratively in a checklist that City Staff can update over time as
needed. Additionally, specific fees should be removed from the ordinance and instead
maintained in a Fee Schedule approved by the City Council.
, Inc use an Aporoval Authorities Summary Table
The ordinance should include a summary table that provides a snapshot of application
types and approval authorities (e.g., City Council, Planning & Zoning Board, Zoning
Board of Adjustment, Planning Director). This would help readers to quickly understand
the approval process for their application type.
4. Remove the SF-20 Zoning District
The SF-20 zoning district is intended for single-family homes on lots of at least 20,000
square feet. While this development type is appropriate for Wylie; however, this district
is currently used on fewer than three acres. Consider redesignating these parcels as SF-
10 and eliminating SF-20 to help simplify the ordinance.
City Staff Review Draft June 13, 2022 3 108
City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance Diagnostic Memo 07/07/2022 Item 1.
So Revise the Zoning Upon Annexation Process
The current ordinance states that all land "annexed into the City shall be temporarily
classified as AG/30 (Agricultural District), until permanent zoning is established by the
Council." Applying a zoning designation requires legislative action; it is not automatic
or temporary. The ordinance should instead state that Council shall take action to
assign a zoning district to the annexed land; this action should occur on the same
agenda as the annexation, as a separate item following the annexation. The City can
continue its policy that newly annexed land be classified as AG/30; however, specific
action (i.e., zoning) is required.
6. Upcate the Banc Use Classifications
The land use charts outline the individual uses that are permitted (by-right or permit) or
prohibited within the City. The charts have generally been kept up to date; however,
several modernized terms should be added to provide clarification on whether such
uses are allowed in the City. Examples of such terms include (but are not limited to) the
following: Townhouse, triplex, quadplex, cottage court, live/work, mixed-use, bar,
winery/brewery, childcare terms to align with State licensing, licensed/unlicensed
community homes, food trucks, and food halls.
7e Review the Permittec Uses along SH 78
The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends preserving the SH 78
frontage for uses that generate sales tax for the City, thereby reducing the need for
increased property taxes. While most of the SH 78 frontage is already zoned for
nonresidential uses, the land use charts should be reviewed to promote retail
development and other sales tax generating uses along the corridor. Additionally,
possible rezonings should be considered along SH 78 to promote uses that generate
sales tax.
. Develop Distinctive Corridor Stancards
The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends developing standards for
various types of corridors (i.e., Downtown, Highway, Suburban, and Rural). While some
elements would require public investment, the zoning ordinance could be amended to
include aesthetic standards such as landscaping, setbacks, and building form. For
example, landscaping buffers could be different widths depending on the corridor type.

The landscaping requirements include a detailed list of recommended plant types that
are acceptable for planting. This list of requirements should be removed from the
ordinance and maintained adninistrati administratively. Additionally, the selection ofplants from the
list should be required unless otherwise approved by the Planning Director with the
recommendation ofalandsca f� i | A�� � i shrubs, �

11 . Require Park aDc Trail Dedication
The Wylie community has expressed a strong desire for more park and recreatio
n
amenities in its neighborhoods. Upon development of a new subdivision, the City
should require the dedication and improvement of parklandto accommodate the
increased population. Alternatively, fee in �ieuofthe land may be in
circumstances, as determined by the City Council. Similar requirements should be in
place for trail dedication and construction.
12. SLPeDgtleOneTree Preservation and Mitigation Requirements
The current ordinance requires the submittal of Tree Protection Plan for all trees at
least 12 feet in height and six caliper inches in width (or eight inches for a multi-trunk
tree); however, the naviovv and approval process for the Tree Protection Plan is unclear.
Additionally, mitigation measures should be established for cases when the removal of
a protected tree is approved for removal (i.e., replanting or fee in lieu to fund the
planting of tree at another site).

allows this type of development through the Planned Development (PD) process;
however, establishing a by-right development option may incentivize its use.

14. Review Garage Design Standards
The current ordinance requires that no garage door face a primary street front (except
in a 2-and-1 configuration). Many of the existing garages in the City today are front-
facing and many subdivisions in Wylie do not have alleys for rear-access. Additionally,
requiring aJ-swinQ configuration requires wider lots, resulting in additional roadway
miles required tnoerveadevelo menLCVnoiderallovvingfront-loadedgonagosthatare
set back from the building face a rnininnunn of 5 to 10 feet. Also, for J-awing
configurations, consider adding requirements for the wall plane facing the primary
street (i.e., require articulation and/orvi dovsconsi Lent with the rest of the main
structure).
15. Align Building Material ReqUiPBmeOtsVVith State Law
In 2019, the Texas Legislature passed HB 2439, which prohibits municipalities from
regulating specific building materials (e.g., brick or other masonry) beyond typical
building code nninirnurn standards. Many instances throughout the existing ordinance
refer to required building materials. While quality building materials are still desirable,
they can no longer be required. Instead, the new ordinance should use an incentive or
menu-based system to encourage the voluntary use of desirable materials.
16. Acc Design Requirements for -viXBc-Use [)eve (}pDlBDt
"Mixed-use develn ment" refers to a building or grouping nf buildings typically with
nonresidential uses (e.g., retail uroffice) on the ground level and residential uses (e.g.,
apartments or condos) on the upper levels. The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive
Plan recommendsplanning for mixed u�odevelopment in Downtown, South Ballard,
and several other locations throughout the City; however, the current ordinance doesn't
provide design guidance for this type of development. The updated ordinance should
include standards such as build-tozones' building form, parking design and location,
and pedestrian connectivity. Additionally, the timing of when the construction of
residential and nonresidential uses should be considered. Many cities experience the
residential cnrn t ft� i � development � i � i�t � fo t�

nonresidential component is built. The City should con�idera phasing requirement t o
ensure that nonresidential development is built alongside residential development in
mixed-use situations.
17. /\r|cFeSs [~DQOO7BrCi8| Cross-Access
"Cross-access" refers tothe connection between adjacent lots that allows vehicular
traffic to visit adjacent developments without re-entering the thoroughfare. This is more
convenient for tra elers and helps reduce stop-and-go traffic. The Zoning Ordin
ance
(and/or Subdivision Ordinance) should be amended to require cross-access between
6 City Staff Review Draft June 13, 2022
City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance Diagnostic 07/07/2022 Item 1.
adjacent developments. Where the adjacent lot is undeveloped, the developing lot
should provide an access easement with a stub-out to accommodate a future
connection.
18. Review Minimum Parking Recuirements
The land use charts include a minimum parking ratio for each land use classification
(e.g., one parking space per 300 square feet of interior building space for a grocery
store). After a cursory review, many parking requirements appear to be consistent with
best practices; however, a closer review is needed to determine whether certain uses
may require too much parking, which can result in higher development fees,
unappealing aesthetics, increased stormwater runoff/drainage issues, and increased
urban heat island effects.
19. Acc Provisions for Compatible Residential InfiII Development
The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends promoting infill
development that is compatible with the existing neighborhoods. This will become
increasingly important as Wylie's development trends shift toward a redevelopment
focus. The zoning ordinance should require that new homes built within the range of
front yard setbacks of the homes on the same block face, and that the height use a
slope-based calculation similar to the residential proximity slope for adjacent
nonresidential development. In order to provide flexibility in infill lot design, if alleys are
present in the subdivision, rear yard setbacks could be reduced because the alley would
provide sufficient space between structures.
20. Allow Additional Accessory Buildings on Larger Lots
The ordinance establishes a maximum of two accessory buildings on all lots, except in
the AG/30 district. Consider removing the maximum number of accessory buildings for
larger lots (e.g., those over 10,000 square feet) and instead regulate using the existing
lot coverage limits. The current lot coverage requirements allow for up to five percent
of the lot or 60 percent of the structure's square footage, whichever is less.
21 . Protect Waterways and Acjacent Development with Setbacks anc Open
Space
The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends promoting low-impact
development polices, encouraging recreational amenities in neighborhoods, and
preserving green space. Consider establishing a minimum setback (e.g., 50 feet)from
the stream centerline for future development. Also consider requiring single-loaded
street along creeks, meaning that homes would only be located on the side of a street
opposite of a waterway. These provisions protect water quality, protect homes from

City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance Diagnostic Memo 07/07/2022 Item 1.
creek erosion, increase public access to greenspace, and provide recreational
opportunities for trails or open space.
22. Esteplish Variaole Buffer Requirements anc Promote Neighborhood
Connectivity
The current ordinance establishes minimum screening requirements to help buffer
between differing adjacent land use types. In summary, whenever a non-single-family
district abuts a single-family district, a six-to eight-foot masonry wall is required.
Consider modifying this requirement to require lower intensity buffers (e.g., trees and
vegetation) between more compatible districts and higher intensity buffers (e.g.,
masonry walls and landscaping) between less compatible districts. Additionally, ensure
that pedestrian and vehicular connectivity is maintained between neighboring
developments, such as the ability to walk from a neighborhood to an adjacent shopping
area.
23. State me Desirable Cdearacteristics for Planner Developments
The Envision Wylie 2022 Comprehensive Plan recommends continuing using the
Planned Development (PD) process to help achieve desirable developments. PDs are a
zoning tool that cities can use to achieve innovative developments that aren't
adequately accommodated by the typical zoning districts. The PD process involves
negotiation between the City and applicant, which ultimately requires City Council
approval. The zoning ordinance should specifically state the desirable, innovative
characteristics for future developments to provide additional direction to applicants—
parks and open space, quality building materials, lot size and home type variety,
connectivity, low impact development, etc.
24. Specifically Outline Special Exceptions
Texas Local Government Code Sec. 211.009 outlines a board of adjustment's authority,
which includes to "hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of a zoning
ordinance when the ordinance requires the board to do so". The zoning ordinance
should clearly state the special exceptions that the board can approve. The current
ordinance does list several instances under a heading "Other Areas of Authority";
however, it should clearly state that these instances are considered special exceptions.
Additionally, the list of potential exceptions should be reviewed for potential revisions.
25. Acdress Nonconforming Lots
The current Nonconforming Uses and Structures article does not clearly address
nonconforming lots. The ordinance should be updated to state that existing lots of
record are allowed to be built upon.
