and being all of a .768 acre tract out of the John W. Curtis Survey, Abstract No. 196, City of
Wylie, Collin County, Texas.
• Tobin Maples update:
Public Comment Forms were mailed to six (6) property owners within 200 feet of
this request. One (1) Public Comment Form in support of the request has been
returned. The proposed zoning and land use are compatible with Comprehensive Plan
as uses permitted within the B-2 (Business) zoning district are less intensive than
those permitted withing the I (Industrial) district. The applicant is aware that the
existing C.O. (Certificate of Occupancy) on this property is for a legal non-
conforming use (storage for landscape contractor with minor accessory office use)
and prohibits retail sales of any sort. The applicant will have to bring the property up
to code prior to the issuance of a new C.O. or any building permits for future
development. Staff is recommending approval of ZC. No. 98-03.
Ray Capley brought it to Commissions attention that they are selling plants to the
public out of this building.
Richard Parker, applicant and owner of the property spoke of Bluebonnet Nursery
that is leasing the property from him. He stated he was unaware of any retail sales.
The property was leased as a contractor storage. He made a request for approval of
ZC. No. 98-03, so he can become legal with the City of Wylie. His property was
involuntarily annexed in 1995. This property is rented from month to month.
