Hold a public hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council concerning a change in zoning from Business Center (BC) District to Business Center District with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Warehouse and Distribution uses, 1307 Century Way, Lot 2 Block C of the Century Way Business Park Addition, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas. (Zoning Case 2005-18) Thompson stated that the newly-revised Comprehensive Plan recommends Corridor Commercial uses for the subject property, in keeping with existing development of the vicinity. The subject lot was created in 1985 with the platting of the Century Business Park, vesting development rights in the code regulations which were in effect at that time. However, the plat established front yard and rear yard (also a drainage easement) building lines of twenty (20) feet, contrary to the standards in force both at that time and today, but with which future development must comply. The property is currently zoned Business Center (BC) District, having been rezoned from Industrial (I) in November of 2001 with the city-wide revision of the Zoning Ordinance and map. The proposed warehouse and distribution use was permitted by right in the previous I District, but is allowed within the current BC District only with an approved Specific Use Permit. Office Showroom Warehouse which would be generally for retail use and wholesale warehouse and distribution, the applicant proposes HVAC and electrical contractors wholesaling and contract offices, which is a warehouse and distribution use. The major difference is heavier truck traffic, as opposed to heavy retail vehicles. The wisdom in the BC District was to be for light industrial and not for heavy manufacturing, which a warehouse and distribution use, would be considered. As required by law, seventeen notifications were mailed to property owners within two hundred feet, and two were returned opposing the request. These properties, which represent three parcels of property, exceed the twenty percent notification area and a 75% majority will be required to approve the request. Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing. Commissioner Byboth questioned the radius to allow tractor trailer. Scott Park, 915 Glen Meadow, Garland, Texas, represented applicant for the subject property, stated that there is misconception of the proposed building and does not foresee tractor trailers coming into the buildings. The buildings will be office warehouse "suites." The proposed development is to build two buildings, one 9,000 square feet building divided up to six units, each one 1600 to 1800 square feet. P &Z Commission Meeting September 20, 2005 Page 3 of 5 The final plans for the size of the units is not definite, the plans will be reviewed and discussed with Staff on Thursday. The second building will be built after the first building is leased. Sherman Wilhite, Goodyear Store, Century Way, stated that there are two 18-wheeler trucks that come into the property, but do not park outside. The property is large enough to accommodate the trucks, coming inside the building through the back and leaving through the side. There is a problem with neighboring businesses that have 18-wheelers coming in and not having a place to turn around. There is a median in the middle of Alanis and Century Way, which does not allow over-sized vehicles to turn around. Will George, adjacent property owner to the subject property, stated that the Commissioners need to get specific types of proposed businesses and questioned the parking requirements for the proposed development. Thompson stated that a Site Plan will be reviewed and approved after the zoning is established and the applicant proposes 31 parking spaces. Mr. Park stated that the decorative brick facing Century Way is basically all that is needed to be finalized. The parking requirements are met by having one space per 500 square feet. Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Hemphill recommended that the City Engineer meet with the Commissioners to define the accessibility for tractor trailers on Century Way and Alanis. A motion was made by Commissioner Hemphill, and seconded by Commissioner Alexander, to table the item until October 4, 2005, at which time City Engineer come to discuss final plans of Alanis and Century Way. Motion passed 6— 0, with Commissioner Ames absent. ACTION AGENDA 1. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Final Plat for the Lost Acre Addition, generally located south of East Brown Street (old State Highway 78) and east of Country Place Lane (Private Road 5459) within unincorporated Collin County and the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Wylie, Texas, and being more specifically described as a tract of land situated in the Francisco de la Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688, and all of that 3.00 acre tract as recorded in the County Clerk's file No. 96-0014543 of the Land Records of Collin County, Texas. P & Z Commission Meeting September 20, 2005 Page 4 of 5 Thompson stated that the property is within unincorporated Collin County but within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Wylie. The Preliminary Plat was approved by City Council on June 14, 2005. The Final Plat substantially complies with the previously-approved Plat. This Final Plat will create two residential lots totaling three (3) acres. Lot 1 is 1.33 acres in size, and Lot 2 is 1.38 acres in size. The plat dedicates 40 feet of right-of-way for the future widening of existing East Brown Street (old S.H. 78). This segment of roadway is proposed in the upcoming bond referendum to be improved eastward to the new WISD High School site. A motion was made by Commissioner Alexander, and seconded by Commissioner Hennesey, to recommend approval of the Final Plat for Lost Acre Addition to the City Council. Motion carried 6—0, with Commissioner Ames absent. 2. Consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Preliminary Plat for the Woodbridge Phase 10D, generally located south of Creek Crossing Lane and Woodbridge Phases 9 and 10C, and being more specifically described as a tract of land situated in the Richard Newman Survey Abstract No. 660, and being part of a 159.3280 acre tract of land described in deed to Woodbridge Properties, LLC as recorded in County Clerk's File No. 97-0032073, part of the 199.3963 acre tract described in deed to Woodbridge Properties, LLC as recorded in County Clerk's File No. 97-0032076, part of the 49.3111 acre tract described as Tract II in deed to Woodbridge Properties, LLC, recorded in County Clerk's File No. 2001-0127082, all of the Land Records of Collin County, Texas.

The property is part of the larger mixed-use Woodbridge Planned development (PD 98-15), which consists of Single-Family Residential of varying densities, Multifamily Residential, a Golf Course, Parks, Commercial, a School Site, and Common Open Spaces, totaling 921 acres in size. With no questions for the applicant or staff, a motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner Alexander, to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat for Woodbridge Addition Phase 10D. Motion passed 6 — 0, with Commissioner Ames absent. P & Z Commission Meeting September 20, 2005 Page 5 of 5 3. Consider and call public hearings to receive citizen comments concerning certain revisions to the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie. Thompson stated that the Commissioners need to schedule a public hearing to receive comments from citizens regarding the revisions to the Residential and Non-Residential Districts. Thompson stated that a joint work session is scheduled with City Council on September 27, 2005, and polled for opinion. The Commissioners decided not to have the joint work session, and stated that the direction received if any, from the Council would not be used in the short time frame allotted to finalize the Zoning Ordinance. Chairman Larson adjourned the meeting at 8:50PM and reconvened at 9:00PM. The Commissioners reviewed the point system requirements and made minor revisions to some of the land design requirements. Instead of using the point system, the recommendation was to leave open-ended and the developer choose which desirable requirement, whether three out of five or two out of three on each land design page. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner Hennesey, to adjourn the meeting at 9:55 PM. Motion passed 6 — 0, with Commissioner Ames absent.
