PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council
regarding a change in zoning from Single Family Residential (SF-8.5/17) to
Commercial Corridor (CC), generally located east of North Ballard Avenue and
south of Paul Wilson Road, being all of a certain 2.00 acre tract of land situated in
the Francisco de la Pina Survey, Abstract No. 688-1, Tract 201, City of Wylie,
Collin County, Texas. (Zoning Case 2003-01).
Thompson stated that the subject 2-acre tract was annexed into the City as part of a 46.5-
acre tract in September of 1984, and was zoned for residential uses at the time of
annexation. In April of 1994, 14 acres immediately abutting the subject property was
disannexed due to City's failure to provide sewer services and adequate fire and police
support to the area within the five year time limit. In September of 2002, the City
Council denied a request by the current owner of the subject tract to be disannexed from
the City. That request was based on the lack of City services to the tract and the owner's
desire to develop uses which were allowed by the County but not the City.
The subject tract is abutted on north, west and south by unincorporated Collin County,
and these neighboring properties are occupied by sparse rural residential or agri-business
uses on lots in excess of two acres in size. To its rear and to the east, the property abuts
the treatment and storage facilities of the North Texas Municipal Water District
(NTMWD).
Both Paul Wilson Road and Skyview Drive are currently rural roadways, and generally
dead-end routes at the intersection where the subject tract is located. However, Park
Boulevard is to be extended as a regional thoroughfare to align with the Skyview
corridor, and be improved to six lanes with divided median. Paul Wilson will be part of
the Lakeshore Loop.
Thompson reviewed the current Comprehensive Plan recommendation of Country
residential uses, but reminded the Commission of their recent recommendation to revise
the Plan to recommend that the subject area be a Village Center with retail uses at the
new intersection of Park Boulevard and Paul Wilson Road. The proposed rezoning is in
compliance with the Commission's recommended changes to the Plan.
The applicant intends to develop mini-warehouse for boats and other self-storage on the
subject property, and such use is only permitted within the Corridor Commercial (CC)
District. While, the requested Corridor Commercial District may allow some more
intensive uses which may not be compatible with residential uses, the CC District is
considered appropriate for frontage of major thoroughfares such as the planned Park
P & Z Commission

Boulevard. Furthermore, the NTMWD properties restrict the extension of such CC uses
in a strip fashion toward the east from the Park/Paul Wilson intersection and subject
property, and neither the City or County can regulate land uses within the unincorporated
County.
The subject property will be required to connect any new development to the City sewer
system, which is not currently available. This will require extension of trunk lines some
2,500 feet as well as possible lift stations, at the expense of the private developer.
Commissioners questioned the alignment of Park Boulevard and the date such
construction will begin. Thompson stated that the County will construct Park Boulevard,
but that the date projected for construction is not available at this time. The schools
located on Park Boulevard west of Parker Road should help the priority of the Park
extension, and the eastern section is needed to keep S.H. 78-bound traffic out the
downtown historic area.
Commissioner George opened the public hearing. Mr. Michael Blocker, 1719 Mapleleaf
Falls Drive, Allen, Texas, the applicant for the subject property, stated that the intention
is to develop a high quality facility for boat self-storage. It will be built in two phases,
the first phase will begin immediately and the second phase will depend on when the first
twenty units are occupied.
Commissioner George closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner
Chapman, and seconded by Commissioner Porter, to recommend approval for the
rezoning. Motion passed 4— 1, with Commissioner Snider voting in opposition.
The Commissioners adjourned for a work session at 7:35 p.m.
WORK SESSION
1. Consider proposed changes to Section 4.4.E.l.a(Nonresidential Design Standards
for Landscaping) of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie.
Thompson reminded Commissioners that required landscaping for all nonresidential
districts was increased in the newly-adopted Zoning Ordinance, from 5% of site to 20%
in Neighborhood Services, Community Retail and Corridor Commercial Districts and to
10% in Business Center and Industrial Districts. Required parking spaces are also larger
than normal at 10 by 20 feet with 24 feet wide aisles. This increased landscaping and
parking requires larger sites and increases the cost of construction within Wylie when
compared to neighboring cities.
P & Z Commission
March 4, 2003

Most grocery stores will be 65,000 to 85,000 square feet, and department stores will be
130,000 square feet and larger. The proposed break at 100,000 square feet will
accommodate these retailers, as well as the industrial-type uses anticipated by the current
regulations. Wal-Mart has stated that they cannot comply with both landscape and
parking requirements on their 18-acre site and will not go through a public hearing
necessary for a Planned Development District. There possibly will be other retailers
having the same difficulty complying with the code as adopted.
To address these special cases the following proposed amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance is recommended:
Amend Section 4.4.E.1.a of the Zoning Ordinance to require 10% of site
landscaped in CR and CC Districts for single buildings of 100,000 square feet and
larger on a single lot.
The Commissioners questions if the benefits of Wal-Mart coming to the City are
significant enough to support the proposed changes to the new code and for all sites city-
wide. Sam Satterwhite, Director of Economic Development, stated that the local sales
tax will be approximately $571,000 a year, the employment of about 200 employees, and
the widening of State Highway 78 up to Kreymer/Spring Creek Parkway with a signal
light at the intersection. No tax incentives have been given to attract Wal-Mart here.
Commissioners expressed a desire to reduce parking rather than landscaping, as such
helps improve air quality. Thompson stated that the larger parking is for perpendicular
spaces only and does not address diagonal parking. However, the Herzog/Woodbridge
PD approved angular parking spaces of 9 V2 by 18 feet. Council has recommended 10 by
20 parking spaces. Council will be reviewing the parking on March 11, 2003, and the
Commissioners were encouraged to come.
Thompson stated Public Hearings on the proposed amendment have been called and
published for the P & Z Meeting on March 18, 2003, and the City Council on March 25,
2003. Commissioners may recommend whatever revision they believe is appropriate to
accommodate these larger retailers.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Commissioner Porter, and seconded by Commissioner Phillips, to
adjourn the meeting at 8:23 p.m. Motion passed 5 —0.

Public Hearing Item No. 1
Rezoning 03-01
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting: March 4, 2003
Owner/Applicant: Michael Trent Blocker
Location: 900 Paul Wilson Road, east side of Paul Wilson and
south of Skyview Drive
Existing Zoning: Single Family Residential(SF-8.5/17) District
Requested Zoning: Corridor Commercial(CC) District
Summary:
The subject 2-acre tract was annexed into the City as part of a 46.5-acre tract in September of
1984, and was zoned for residential uses at the time of annexation. In April of 1994, 14 acres
immediately abutting the subject property was disannexed due to the City's failure to provide
sewer services and adequate fire and police support to the area. In September of 2002, the City
Council denied a request by the current owner of the subject tract to be disannexed from the City.
That request was based on the lack of City services to the tract and the owner's desire to develop
uses which were allowed by the County but not the City.
The subject tract is abutted on north, west and south by unincorporated Collin County, and these
neighboring properties are occupied by sparse rural residential or agri-business uses on lots in
excess of two acres in size. To its rear and to the east, the property abuts the treatment and
storage facilities of the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD)
When annexed in 1984, the property was zoned as Single Family-2 Residential and was rezoned
to Single Family 8.5/17 (both allowing single-family lots of 8,500 square feet) with the revision of
the City-wide Zoning Ordinance and Map in February of 2002. The NTMWD lands are also
zoned SF 8.5/17, but are not likely to become available for development. The use of lands within
the unincorporated County cannot be controlled by zoning by either the City or County.
ZC 03-01
Both Paul Wilson Road and Skyview Drive are currently rural roadways, and generally dead-end
routes at the intersection where the subject tract is located. However, Park Boulevard is to be
extended as a regional thoroughfare to align with the Skyview corridor, and improved to six lane
with divided median. Paul Wilson will remain a local two-lane street, even if reconstructed in the
future.
Public Comment Forms were mailed to four (4) property owners within 200 feet of this request.
No Comment Forms have been returned at the time of posting.
Issues:
1. The Comprehensive Plan recommends Country Residential uses for the subject property,
envisioning lots of one acre or larger with rural roadways, and the proposed commercial
rezoning does not conform with this recommendation of the Plan. However, the Planning and
Zoning Commission is in the process of reviewing the Plan, and is considering recommending
revision of the Plan to recommend that the subject area be a Village Center with retail uses at
the intersection, which is thought to better address the influence of the Park Boulevard
corridor.
2. The future alignment of Park Boulevard (generally indicated on the attached Location Map)
will likely require a portion of the property abutting the subject tract on the north, and
relocate the Park/Paul Wilson intersection to this neighboring property. This new intersection
will be approximately centered and one mile distance from the next major intersections to the
west (Parker Road) and east (Eubanks/Forrest Ross). This distance is sufficient to justify the
location of commercial uses at each of these intersections, including the subject Paul Wilson/
Park Boulevard.
3. As normally envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan, a Village Center retail core is more
appropriately zoned Neighborhood Services (NS) District, intended to provide convenience
goods and services to the immediately surrounding residential neighborhoods. However, the
applicant desires to develop self-storage miniwarehouses on the subject property, and such
use is only permitted within the Corridor Commercial (CC) District. While, the requested
Corridor Commercial District may allow some more intensive uses which may not be
compatible with future residential uses within the vicinity, the CC District is considered
appropriate for frontage of major thoroughfares such as the planned Park Boulevard, and the
NTMWD properties restrict the extension of such uses in a strip fashion toward the east from
the Park/Paul Wilson intersection and subject property. The use of lands to the north and
west of this major intersection cannot be controlled by either the City or County.
ZC 03-01
4. The conceptual Site Plan and tabulation of requirements of the Zoning Ordinance indicate that
the proposed development will comply fully with all regulations of the code.
5. The subject property will be required to connect any new development to the City sewer
system, which is not currently available and will require extension of trunk lines for a
significant distance (the closest is located within the Kinsington Manor Addition east of
Parker Road at Paul Wilson Road or the Harvest Bend Addition west of Parker at Paul
Wilson and either location is hiely to require a lift station and force mains — see attached
Location Map). Such extension is the responsibility of private development, and is more
feasible for the proposed nonresidential development than for scattered low-density residential
such as the current pattern and that recommended by the Comprehensive Plan. Water is
provided to the property by the Wylie Northeast Water Supply Corporation rather than the
City of Wylie.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval. The proposed use is more compatible than low-density residential with the major
traffic intersection which Park Boulevard at Paul Wilson is planned to become, and the NTMWD
restricts opportunity for strip commercial development.
The Departments of Planning, Engineering, Development Services, Public Works and Fire concur
with this recommendation.

February 29, 2003
TO: Planning &Zoning Commission
FROM: Claude Thompson, Planner
SUBJECT: Amendment to Landscape Requirements of Zoning Ordinance
You will recall that in the newly-adopted Zoning Ordinance we increased the required landscaping
from the previously required 5%of site for all nonresidential districts to 20%Neighborhood Services,
Community Retail and Corridor Commercial Districts and 10% of site in Business Center and
Industrial Districts. We also require parking spaces of 10 by 20 feet with 24 feet wide aisles, much
larger than other cities. The landscape ratios anticipated that "big box" single buildings per site (BC
and I) might not be able to comply with the greater proportion of landscaping as could the "small box"
several buildings per site retailers(NS, CR and CC). We have always admitted that the new ZO favors
small buildings in clusters over free-standing"big boxes".
We have worked with Wal-Mart on the 18-acre site they purchased east of the Municipal Building in
an attempt to have them comply with both parking and landscape requirements, and had assumed that
they would apply for a PD in order to adjust both. They have informed us that they cannot comply
with the ZO requirements and will not apply for the public hearings required by the PD. In an attempt
to keep them from relocating elsewhere, I offered the following proposed amendment to the ZO:
"Amend Section 4.4.E.1.a of the Zoning Ordinance to require 10% of site landscaped in CR
and CC Districts for single buildings of 100,000 square feet and larger."
In an attempt to consider this revision for them, we will follow the following process and schedule.
02/26/03 Advertise public hearings in newspaper(it's at the News already, and will be published
prior to our next meeting)
03/04/03 Action item for P&Z to consider and call Public Hearing

AMENDMENT TO ZO LANDSCAPING
Page 2 of 2
JUSTIFICATION:
Previous landscape requirement was 5% of site for all nonresidential. This is normal for other cities.
New landscape requirement is 20% for NS, CR and CC Districts, and this favors small, multiple
buildings. This is higher than other cities. Landscape requirement is 10% in BC and I Districts,
favoring larger, single building on site.
Such"big box" large single buildings as Home Depot (met 10%) and future Wal-Mart (promises 12%)
cannot comply with new 20% landscape requirement, as well as wider parking spaces and aisles. We
assume that large industries could have a similar problem, although they normally have much less
parking than retail.
Current code requires 10 by 20 feet parking spaces, but only anticipates perpendicular spaces. City
Engineer will immediately ask Council to adopt new angle parking regulations which are smaller than
the perpendicular spaces. No public hearing is required for such amendment.
