CFT"Y OF WYLIE ZONING ORDINANCE a. No development related to any permitted use within that portion of any district designated with a floodplain "FP" prefix may proceed without an approved development permit as required in Section 50 of the Wylie City Code. This permit request shall be made a part of an application for zoning or subdivision review or other construction review within the zone. b. No alteration of the floodplain due to dumping, excavation, storage, filling or mining operations shall be conducted without a development permit approved by the City of Wylie. 2. Approval Standards. The following standards shall be used to approve a development permit within an area designated with a floodplain "FP"prefix. a. The proposed development or alteration of the floodplain area will not increase the severity of flooding up or down stream from the altered property; b. The proposed development or alteration of the floodplain area will not endanger the value and safety of other property or the public health and welfare; and c. The proposed development or alteration of the floodplain area will not endanger the safety of the property being altered. E. Removal of Designation An area may be removed from the floodplain, FP,prefix designation by Council action based on: 1. A floodplain analysis meeting standard and acceptable scientific and engineering procedures used in the study of rainfall potential and its effect on a given drainage basin in the form of flooding, accepted by the City Engineer, that finds the area not subject to flooding. 2. Approval of a development permit for alterations to the floodplain that effectively removes the area from the floodplain, subject to limitations identified in subsection D, above. Removal of the floodplain "FP" prefix shall occur only after completion of the work and certification by the City Engineer that the work was in conformance with the approved plans. F. Other Land Subject to Flooding The fact that land is not within a district having a floodplain, FP, prefix shall not be interpreted as assurance that such land or area is not subject to periodic local flooding and the designation of the prefix in this ordinance shall not be so interpreted. SECTION 6.3 DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT (DTH) A. Purpose Wylie's downtown has been identified by the Comprehensive Plan as a valuable resource worthy of preservation as a historic district.

Generally, less than 50 years old. B. District Boundaries 1.

The precise boundaries of the Downtown Historic District shall be shown on the official zoning map of the City of Wylie. The boundaries of the Downtown Historic District may be amended from time to time based on a request from area property owners, a request of the staff, the Commission, or at the pleasure of the Council. In considering a request for a change in district boundaries, the Council shall require: a. Any additions to the district shall be contiguous to the existing boundaries of the district; b. Any reductions in the district shall be located on the edge of the district such that a hole is not left inside the district; and c. If requested by a property owner, a petition shall be presented showing owners of more than 50 percent of the land within the district, excluding streets, and owners of more than 50 percent of the building sites in the district are in support of the requested change in boundaries.
