CONSENT AGENDA 1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the December 21, 2004 Regular Meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Hughes, and seconded by Commissioner Byboth, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion carried 5 —0. P &Z Commission Meeting January 4, 2005 Page 2 of 3 PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Agriculture (A) to Planned Development (PD) District for single-family residential, being a 63.76 acre tract of land situated in the Francisco De La Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688 and being the same land as conveyed to Jack M. Little and Robert W. Little by Warranty Deed dated November 3, 1971, and recorded in Volume 802, Page 368 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas (D.R.C.C.T.). (Zoning Case No. 2004-26). Thompson stated that a letter requesting withdrawal was received by Mr. Ryan Betz and the Commissioners can accept withdrawal or continue to consider the requested zoning, but the Commissioners were encouraged to open Public Hearing because a number of neighboring property owners were present. Six written responses were received and all opposing the zoning change. The request for 18,000 square feet minimum lot size does conform to the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan for Suburban Residential uses (10,000 to 30,000 square foot lots). Planned Development zoning is not justified. No physical constraints of the property have been documented and the request offers limited development innovations other than reduction of existing code requirements. Vice—Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Ryan Betz, Skorburg Company, 3838 Oaklawn, Suite 1212, Dallas, Texas, represented the developer of the subject property, stated that after reviewing the report from staff, but desiring to hear from the surrounding property owners, he requested to withdraw and will re-submit for straight zoning after hearing the property owners voice their concerns. The following property owners spoke in opposition of the subject zoning change and favored lots of one acre minimum: Gene Gilley, Summer Johnson, Roger Meier, and Margie Eubanks. Ms. Eubanks also expressed concern of drainage, sewage, street widening and the high school as an alternative use. Commissioners discussed concerns of the citizens and Mr. Betz rebutted to the comments. He also clarified a comment form that was received from Dr. Fuller of Wylie Independent School District which stated that the property was under contract for a school site. Mr. Betz stated that another piece of property will be offered to the WISD if the zoning of the subject property is approved. P &Z Commission Meeting January 4, 2005 Page 3 of 3 Vice-Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner Spillyards, to recommend acception of the withdrawal from the applicant. Motion carried 5 -0. MISCELLANEOUS Thompson distributed research regarding alley requirements by other municipalities, and the location of recent alley waiver either approved or denied within the city limits. The Council will consider two requests to waive the alley requirement at their next meeting. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Byboth, and seconded by Commissioner Hennessey, to adjourn the meeting at 8:00PM. Dennis Larson, Vice-Chairman Mary Bradley, Secretary Planning Department 2000 Highway 78 N. W lie TX 75098 City of Wylie Memo Date: February 1, 2005 To: Chairman Seely and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission From: Claude Thompson, Planning Director Re: Work Session to discuss the Comprehensive Plan—February 1, 2005 This entire meeting will be allocated to our continuing review of the Comprehensive Plan. Our primary goal is to have the Plan reflect our land use philosophy and to bring it into conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and Map as well as to address any other changes which may be desired or needed. We need to complete these revisions as soon as possible, so that we can look at revisions to the Zoning immediately after finalizing the Plan, as decisions for sizing of roads and utilities are being based on the recommended future uses and densities of the Comprehensive Plan. Please take some time to look over the Plan document as well as the proposed Land Use Distribution Philosophy provided to you previously, and be prepared to better define some of the remaining issues. Staff will provide additional detailing and backup at the meeting, but please consider the following. You have suggested that the Village Center concept on which the existing Comprehensive Plan is based may not valid, and if so we need to adopt a new philosophy. The Village Center dictates the location and hierarchy for commercial uses as well as dictates the pattern of residential densities. We need to establish our desired residential densities and lot sizes, which can also set house sizes as well (like our current "8.5/17"). Most of the remaining undeveloped land is recommended to be acreage lots, and we need to consider if this is what we want — and what the market is for such and tax revenue from such. Included in this must be some concept of multifamily/apartments. Then we need to establish some locational criteria P81 Commission Comprehensive Plan philosophy Page 2 of 2 for these varied density and housing types—deciding how much of each and where they go. Generally, the location of these is based on access to services, with the higher-density housing being closer to schools and commercial and densities decreasing (lot size increasing) with increased distance from these service centers. We need to establish a locational criteria for nonresidential uses (retail, commercial and industrial). The philosophy of the Comprehensive Plan is that Wylie become a balanced community offering employment and services, and not just be a residential "bed-room" city. The proposed Land Use Distribution Philosophy recommends the following three types of commercial which already correlate to the Zoning classifications: • Neighborhood Services (the old Village Center, smaller sites for personal services and convenience retail); • Community Retail (shoppers/comparison goods which may be expanded to additional locations beyond the new CBD/town center); and • Corridor Commercial (the mixed-use, vehicular-oriented uses, along thoroughfares). The philosophy proposes that industrial uses be allocated to two categories, both which correspond to the current Zoning. Heavy industrial uses reflect the current Industrial category will accommodate manufacturing, and requires transportation support and must be isolated in larger centers. Light Industrial (replaces Business Center classification)will accommodate warehousing and assembly and can be scattered in smaller clusters. We may consider additional areas for industrial uses. We must also review the planned uses within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ),which is our opportunity for annexation/expansion. Most of the ETJ is currently recommended for large-lot Country Residential. If you have other concerns regarding the future land use recommendations of the Comp Plan, please make them known to us. * Our Mission.. _ ..to be responsible stewards of the public trust, " t # to strive for excellence in public service,and • to enhance the quality of life for all.
