WORK SESSION
1. Discuss land use philosophy and potential revisions to the Comprehensive Plan.
Thompson encouraged the Commissioners to evaluate the non-residential uses on the
Comprehensive Plan. In the past the three non-residential uses included, Neighborhood
Services, which is the smaller convenient goods; Community Retail, the shoppers' goods
and large areas; Industrial, which is the heavy industrial; and Commercial Corridor for
smaller businesses but include manufacturing, warehouse distribution. The Business
Center will convert back to Commercial Corridor.
Thompson introduced Sam Satterwhite, Director Wylie Economic Development
Community and provided questions for him to answer to help the Commissioners
evaluate the Non-Residential uses better. Sam reviewed some businesses and the amount
of tax dollars these businesses bring to the city. Currently, on the national non-residential
land average there is ten percent developed industrial land. A community can not rest on
residential taxes, in an ideal world there would be 50 percent residential and 50 percent
non-residential. Currently, the City of Wylie has 68 percent residential, 24 percent
Commercial and public utilities (taxable), and 8 percent vacant land.

Satterwhite encouraged the Commissioners to move the retailers away from the Village
Center circle concept and change the zoning along Highway 78 and FM 544 to
Commercial Corridor. Thompson encouraged the Commissioners to make precedence
for a balance between how much residential is allowed and how much commercial retail
is allowed.
After discussing the recommendations made by Satterwhite and Thompson, the
Commissioners agreed upon having a work session with City Council to discuss and
receive input for the Comprehensive Plan.
Satterwhite recommended taking out the public property, which does not benefit the City.
The Commissioners agreed with Satterwhite on taking out public utilities that are not
benefiting the City, and do not pay taxes.
A motion was made by Commissioner Larson and seconded by Commissioner Spillyards,
to have a work session with City Council on November 23, 2004, to discuss and receive
input for the Comprehensive Plan. Motion carried 5 —0.
