Commission Discussion on Regular Agenda Item 1
Director Haskins presented, stating that the applicant is looking to renovate the property located within the
Historic Downtown District. The applicant is looking to make both interior and exterior renovations. Director
Haskins explained that they are looking to paint the outside of the building and make changes to the doors of the
building. He presented a brief history of the property.
Chair Stone questioned if the back of the building was separated from the building to which Director Haskins
answered they are next to each other but not part of each other. She also asked if it had ever been a two-story
building to which Director Haskins answered as far as he knew, it had never been a two-story building.
Applicant Blake Herpeche approached the Commission. Chair Stone stated that she would prefer white over black
paint for the building. The Commission and applicant discussed plans for the garage door. Vice -Chair Stowe
questioned a door on the existing building. The applicant stated that the door would not be operational. Herpeche
asked the Commission for direction on what design updates could be done to the building and approved by the
Commission.
The Commission discussed matching doors for the front and side doors. Herpeche stated that he thought there was
no need for approval on paint color. The Commission discussed that the Ordinance discourages painting brick.
There was discussion on the buildings painted in the District and that painting the building would not be a major
concern. The applicant explained to the Commission that he mainly wanted to move forward on getting rid of the
garage door and updating the current doors.
The Commission further discussed either white or black paint not being a major concern. Vice -Chair Stowe also
brought up signage for the building as that is in the Ordinance.
The Commission discussed tabling the Item and having the applicant bring back updated detailed plans to present
to the Commission.

AGENDA REPORT
Planning Account Code:
Renae' 011ie
ork Session to provide updates on Chapter 58 Landmarks of the Code of Ordinances and Section 6.3 of the Zoning
Discussion
Discuss the current Landmark ordinances. To date we have not received any requests to designate a property as a local
landmark.
Landmark Ordinance No. 2022-46 was adopted by City Council on May 31, 2022. The purpose of designating a local historic
landmark is to bring attention to the general public of places of importance and protect the historic resource from
inappropriate changes or demolition. In addition, such landmarks will help reinforce the city's mission statement of
"Honoring our past; Embracing our present; Planning our future".
Guidance for landmark designation shall be in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 211, whereby section
211.0165 outlines the necessary steps and grants authority to the municipality. Before a structure or land can be designated
as a local historic landmark, the property owner must consent. If the owner does not consent, approval by at least a three -
fourths majority vote of the City Council and HRC is required.
Responsibility of the City:
The HRC shall identify and designate an area(s) in order to make a recommendation on whether it qualifies for a local
landmark. The City Council, a property owner, an individual or neighborhood organization, may also request the
Commission to make such a study and recommendation. The municipality must provide the property owner a statement that
describes the impact that a historic designation of the owner's property may have on the owner and the owner's property.
Consider tax abatement on the city portion of taxes only for properties with a designated landmark.
Responsibility of the property owners:
All property owners with a designated landmark have the responsibility as any property owner within the city to maintain
their property to minimum standards, which include the structural soundness of the building, deteriorated roofing or siding
materials, broken windows, maintaining porches and balconies, and keeping the yard free of debris.
A Certificate of ADDrogrlateness is reauired prior to anv exterior work beeinnine on a nronerty with a designated landmark.

1D
0512312024 Item WS1.
City Council, and the Historic Review Commission.
Sec. 58-23. Criteria and Markers.
1. Criteria. In making such designations as set forth in this article, the City Council and the
Historic Review Commission shall consider one or more of the following criteria:
a. Character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics
of the City of Wylie, State of Texas, or the United States;
b. Identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture and
development of the City;
c. Location as the site of a significant historic event;
d. Exemplification of the cultural, economic, social or historical heritage of the City;
e. Relationship to other distinctive buildings, sites or areas which are eligible for preservation
according to a plan based on historical, cultural or architectural motif,
f. Unique location of singular physical characteristics representing an established and familiar
visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the City;
g. Value as an aspect of community sentiment or public pride.
h. Detailed recommendation from the Historic Preservation Commission.
2. Markers. Designated landmarks will be awarded markers based on the category of selection.
a. Historical edifices and similarly small sites shall be designated with a marker detailing the
historical significance of the edifice or site.
b. Historical zones, areas and residential neighborhoods shall, where possible in cooperation
with the parks and recreation department, be provided with a conspicuous and attractive
landscaped area with a marker detailing the historical significance of the zone, area or
residential neighborhood.
3. Revocation of Local Historical Landmarks.
a. Loss of integrity (through alteration, addition, or designation) is the most common reason
for the withdrawal of Landmark Designation. The City Council shall have the power to
revoke any Local Historical landmark (LHL) for the violation of any criteria set forth by
this ordinance.
The following criteria shall justify the withdrawal of a Local Historical Landmark designation:
(1) The property has ceased to meet criteria for designation; the qualities for which it was
originally designated have been lost or destroyed.
(2) Additional information forthcoming after the designation demonstrates that the
property does not possess sufficient significance to be a Local Historic Landmark.
(3) A professional error was made in the designation of the property.
Revocation of a Local Historical Landmark designation requires:
(1) A public hearing where the HRC and City Council shall determine the nature and
extent of the violation of the designation;
(2) Proper notice to the designee;
(3) Written notice from the HRC, which shall give the designee the reasons for the
proposed revocation of the designation; and
(4) A finding by the Council that reasonable corrective measures have not been done by
Ordinance No. 2022-46 - Creating Local Landmarks Page 5 of 6 F
11
0512312024 Item WS1.
the designee and that revocation of the designation is required.
Sec. 58-24. City to take into account all landmarks when making improvements.
The City Council, when considering normal city improvements such as lighting, pavement or
landscaping, shall, where designated historic landmarks exist, make every effort to ensure that such
improvements are in keeping with and enhance the appearance of the landmark edifice or site.
Sec. 58-25. Ordinary Maintenance. Nothing in this ordinance should be construed to prevent ordinary
maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature of a property designated as a landmark or within
a historic overlay district. Ordinary maintenance shall be defined as any work that does not constitute a
change in design, material, color from a historic palette or outward appearance, and include in -kind
replacement or repair.
Sec. 58-26. Off -Street Parking and Loading.
Due to the development nature of property with a Historic Landmark Designation, it is recognized that
conventional off-street parking, loading, and development standards required by Section 6.3 of the
comprehensive zoning ordinance for individual lots may be difficult to provide. Any uses proposed with
a Historic Landmark Designation may present a plan for parking to the Historic Review Commission and
or the Planning and Zoning Commission. Upon review, the required Commission may determine different
amounts and methods in establishing off-street parking."
SECTION 3: Savings/Revealing Clause. All provisions of the Code of Ordinances shall remain in
full force and effect, save and except as amended by this or any other ordinance. All provisions of any
ordinance in conflict with this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent they are in conflict; but such
repeal shall not abate any pending prosecution for violation of the repealed ordinance, nor shall the repeal
prevent a prosecution from being commenced for any violation if occurring prior to the repeal of the
ordinance. Any remaining portions of said ordinances shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 4: Severability. Should any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
Ordinance be declared unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is expressly
provided that any and all remaining portions of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, clause
or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, and
phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid.
SECTION 5: Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon its
adoption.
DULY PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WYLIE,
