10-03-2000 (Planning & Zoning) Minutes MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION WYLIE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX 2000 Highway 78 North, Wylie, Texas 75098 Regular Business Meeting October 3, 2000 7:00pm A quorum was present and notice was posted in the time and manner required by law. Commission Members Present: Staff Members Present: Michael George, Chairman Claude Thompson, Planner Gary Wiseman Fern Casteel, Secretary William Chapman Tony Snider Steve Ahrens Phillip Tramell Absent: Carter Porter, Vice Chairman CALL TO ORDER Chairman Michael George called the Meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Kevin Higgs, 1306 Sheppard Drive, Wylie, Texas 75098 voiced his concerns about the concrete batch plant that is proposed to go in near his residence. It is to close to a residential neighborhood. The emissions coming from a batch plant would not be good for the people in that area. Berry Patrick, business address 617 East Walnut Circle, Garland, Texas, has been trying to get his business moved here to Wylie. There has been a great lack of communication between him and the Planning Department. He started this process in April for rezoning from Agriculture to Industry on Sanden Rod. He was told he would probably have to have it zoned Planned Development and he refilled his application. The application states that a sign is to be posted notifying that a zoning request has been made. It also states that people were supposed to be notified. This is the tenth month and his project has not come up on the Planning and Zoning agenda. No one has called him or notified him of anything. He recently found out that his application has been put on hold until he can submit drawings. His business is a precision sheet metal fabrication shop. Mr. Patrick has gone to City Council and asked for their support on this. He now is asking for the commission's support. He originally spoke with Sam Satterwhite of Economic Development and within days of speaking with him Mr. Patrick signed a contract on the property. This property is largely in a flood zone. Mr. Patrick feels he is being denied due process, because his project is being held up. Claude Thompson, Planner, City of Wylie, reported having several conversations with Mr. Patrick. This project is being reviewed Thursday, October 5, 2000 at the Development Issues Review Team. The site plan required is designed to address the special concerns of the property as well as some Mr. Patrick has. Once these have been reviewed it will be put on the Planning and Zoning agenda. We are prepared to mail out notification after the October 5th meeting. CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 1. Consider and act upon approval of the Minutes from the September 19, 2000 Meeting.

Claude Thompson, City Planner, reported that this Replat will combine lots 1 R, 5 and 6 of Block A. The owner proposes to combine these lots to expand the existing business. Lot 1 R block A is developed for the current multi-structure use for Aluma Graphics. Lots 5 and 6 are currently undeveloped. Staff has reviewed the proposed Replat and finds it is in compliance with all requirements and recommends approval. Representative for the applicant, Don Jackson, 2600 West FM 544, Wylie, Texas, said that the purpose for Replat is to combine lots so he can add to the existing buildings. Commissioner Snider asked if the building would eventually be a U shape? Mr. Jackson states the existing building on lot 1 R will be expanding and has the same existing use. The building on lot 5 will also be expanding. The use for this building will be for storage of antique cars belonging to the owner.

Meeting was adjourned to the Work Session Room. WORKSESSION Ray Stanland and Janet Thorp, consultants for the revision of the Zoning Ordinance, led a discussion of proposed revisions to the nonresidential districts. Discussion as to what level of public notification would be required concluded that several means of inviting citizen participation would be used (such as workshops, talks to civic groups and displays at the library and City Hall), but that a mailed notice to all property owners within the city was likely required and certainly feasible. A list of proposed Definitions was distributed to assist in review of the proposed Land Use Tables which was distributed and introduced at the previous meeting. It was explained that the list defines a limited number of uses in their broadest possible terms in order to reduce duplication of basic use functions. For example: several similar operations or facilities are grouped under the single broader term such as "Vehicle Sales" (including both new and used) and "Commercial Amusement or Recreation" (rodeo and golf as outdoor and bingo and dance as indoor) rather than list numerous potential specific operations. More detailed uses are listed only when there is a significant difference in the impact of their operation (such as Animal Boarding and Animal Clinic/Hospital) or when the use is commonly considered potentially obnoxious (such as Sexually oriented Business). Each listed use was discussed and several additional uses considered. The Table of Development Standards was generally endorsed, but will be reconsidered in greater detail when complete descriptions for the nonresidential districts are considered. Due to schedule conflicts and a heavy P&Z agenda, the revisions will not be considered at the October 17 meeting. Amended Land Use Tables and definitions, as well as recommend new Development Standards for each nonresidential use will be distributed for consideration at the November 7 meeting. The work session was adjourned at 9:27 p.m. iV .T e e a �� a�e� Michael George, hairm U Fern Casteel, Secretary Of
