PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding
a change in zoning from Planned Development (PD 01-14) District to Planned
Development (PD) District to remove the current residential/non-residential ratio,
property being located on the Southwest corner of Ballard Avenue and Brown Street
at 311 N. Ballard Avenue (Zoning Case No. 2005-11).
Ms. 011ie stated that the subject property was platted as Lot 17, Block 2 as the Brown and
Burns Additions. The property is located on the southwestern corner of Ballard Avenue and
Brown Street, two major thoroughfares. The lot is 65 feet wide and 125 feet deep, totaling
8,125 square feet in size. The lot is occupied by a building 3,386 square feet under roof
(2,772 square feet air conditioned).
In March 2001, the City Council approved a Planned Development District (PD 2001-14) to
allow the construction of the structure and mixture of residential and nonresidential uses.
The applicant desires to modify the PD which contains certain provisions that restrict the
proportion of residential to nonresidential uses, and the required parking. The adopted PD
provides that not more than 45% of the structure be used for nonresidential purposes. The
applicant desires initially to utilize the building completely for nonresidential uses, but to
retain the flexibility to use it either for completely nonresidential, completely for residential
or any combination of these uses.

The adopted PD provides that two on-site parking spaces shall be provided for the retail
uses and two on-site spaces provided for the residential use, and that this on-site parking
must be located to the rear of the lot. The proposed PD requires that four (4) on-site
parking spaces be provided, located to the rear of the lot, and that the drive and garage may
count toward the required parking. Four vehicles may be accommodated within the existing
drive and garage, in compliance with this requirement.
The Zoning Ordinance provides that within the DTH District parking for residential uses
must be on-site, but that parking for nonresidential uses less than 4,000 square feet are not
required to provide on-site parking but may utilize on-street parking, and that up to 25% of
the required parking may be provided on-street. The Planning and Zoning Commission
may grant variances for up to 75% of the required parking within the DTH District. The
existing 2,772 square feet building will require fourteen parking spaces if used entirely for
retail and personal services and ten spaces if used entirely for office uses.
Frank Banfill, 1207 Mobile Lane, Wylie, Texas, applicant for the subject property, stated
that the desired business is a missionary travel agency and general offices with no
commercial walk-in. This would employ approximately ten employees. Concrete was
added to the side which will allow a total of eight parking spaces in the rear of the property
and there are two parking spaces located in the front.
Commissioners discussed the parking requirements and the PD Conditions which includes
retail. Commissioners expressed their concern of parking and traffic for the area if retail
was included in the PD, especially with the property being located on the corner of Ballard
and Brown. Mr. Banfill agreed to delete the retail use in the PD Conditions.

Commissioners, Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing.
