Adjustment OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: April 16, 2012 Item Number: 1 Department: Planning Case Number: 2012-03 Prepared By: Jasen Haskins Project Location: 207 Industrial Court Railroad Industrial Park Date Prepared: April 10, 2012 Subdivision Name: Addition Location Map, Exhibit, Notification List and Map Exhibits: with Responses Subject Variance to Section 5.J.4.e(4) of the Zoning Ordinance requiring that all outside merchandise be under a covered sidewalk or screened from view of a public street,property located at 207 Industrial Court,being Lot 4 of the Railroad Industrial Park Addition. Discussion The subject property is located at 207 Industrial Court. The applicant is requesting a variance to Section 5.J.4.e(4) of the Zoning Ordinance requiring that all outside merchandise be under a covered sidewalk or screened from view of a public street. As shown on the site exhibit the applicant, Superbikes of Dallas owner William Dauria, places several of his products for display on a sidewalk on the east side of the structure. The east side is the rear of the building and faces State Highway 78. Section 5.J.4.e(4) states: "Any outside display areas not located on a covered sidewalk must be screened from view of adjacent roadways,public areas and adjacent properties." Therefore the applicant must either cover the display area with some kind of permanent attached structure or screen the merchandise from view. Screening the merchandise from view defeats the purpose of displaying the product. The applicant and the owner of the building, The Wylie Economic Development Corporation, would prefer to not add the covering as the WEDC, as the owner of several buildings on Industrial, has tentative plans to redevelop the area which may result in the removal of the building at 207 Industrial, among others. The addition of a cover would then be an expense with no return. The purpose of the Ordinance for the outside display of merchandise is to maintain property values by requiring aesthetically pleasing elements to be integrated into all properties engaging in the activity. Public comment forms were mailed to 15 property owners within 200 feet of this request, as required by State Law. At the time of this posting, one (1)response has been received in favor of the variance. The Board shall not grant a variance to the development code which: (1) Permits a land use not allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located; or (2) Is in the public right-of-way or on public property; or (3) Alters any definition of the development code; or Page 1 of 2 Page 7 of 31 Page 2 of 2 ZBOA 2012-03 (4) Is other than the minimum variance that will afford relief with the least modification possible to the requirements of the development code; or (5) Is based on physical conditions or circumstances of the property so general or recurring in nature as to reasonably make practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the development code; or (6) Is based exclusively on findings of personal or financial hardship. In order to grant a variance to the development code the Board shall find that all the following have been satisfied: (1) That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions of the lot, or other exceptional physical condition particular to the affected property; (2) That because of these unique physical circumstances or conditions, the property cannot be reasonably developed or used in compliance with the provisions of the development code; (3) That due to such unique physical circumstances or conditions, the strict application of the development code would create a demonstrated hardship; (4) That the demonstrable hardship is not self-imposed; (5) That the variance if granted will not adversely affect the proposed development or use of adjacent property or neighborhood; (6) That the variance,if granted will not change the character of the zoning district in which the property is located; (7) That the variance,if granted is in keeping with the intent of the development code; and (8) That the variance,if granted will not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the citizens of Wylie.

Discussion The subject property is located at 22 Steel Road. The applicant requests a variance to Section 4.F.1.a(1) of the Zoning Ordinance which states: “Primary materials for buildings in the NS, CR, CC, BG, LI and HI districts shall be constructed of a masonry product with at least 20 percent stone on the front façade. Approved masonry materials include, but are not limited to brick, stone, cast stone, decorative concrete, concrete block, stucco or cementitious fiberboard. Tilt wall construction is permissible in LI and HI districts.” The property is currently legally non-conforming. Meaning that the steel structure of the building was allowed by Ordinance when the structure was built in 1986. The City allows non-conforming uses to continue even through change of ownership or tenant provided the previous use and proposed use are very similar. The applicant has requested a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) for a Personal Service Use, Gym, which differs from the previous uses closely related to office/warehouse. The change of use requires that the structure conform to current standards. Any continuation of office/warehouse uses would not require a variance or upgrading the structure. The property is located in a Light Industrial District in which many of the buildings are metal, as most predate the current Ordinance. However, several have masonry facades and several were constructed after the Ordinance update and are 100% masonry. Public comment forms were mailed to 12 (twelve) property owners within 200 feet of this request, as required by State Law. No responses have been received at the time of this posting. The Board shall not grant a variance to the development code which: (1) Permits a land use not allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located; or (2) Is in the public right-of-way or on public property; or (3) Alters any definition of the development code; or Page 1 of 2 Page 15 of 31 Page 2 of 2 ZBOA 2011-03 (4) Is other than the minimum variance that will afford relief with the least modification possible to the requirements of the development code; or (5) Is based on physical conditions or circumstances of the property so general or recurring in nature as to reasonably make practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the development code; or (6) Is based exclusively on findings of personal or financial hardship. In order to grant a variance to the development code the Board shall find that all the following have been satisfied: (1) That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions of the lot, or other exceptional physical condition particular to the affected property; (2) That because of these unique physical circumstances or conditions, the property cannot be reasonably developed or used in compliance with the provisions of the development code; (3) That due to such unique physical circumstances or conditions, the strict application of the development code would create a demonstrated hardship; (4) That the demonstrable hardship is not self-imposed; (5) That the variance if granted will not adversely affect the proposed development or use of adjacent property or neighborhood; (6) That the variance, if granted will not change the character of the zoning district in which the property is located; (7) That the variance, if granted is in keeping with the intent of the development code; and (8) That the variance, if granted will not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the citizens of Wylie.

Discussion The subject property is located at 840 Crestview. The applicant requests a variance to Section 3.F.12.a(2) of the Zoning Ordinance which states: “Side and rear yard fences shall be permitted to a height of 8 feet maximum and constructed of wood with metal posts and rails to the inside.” In 2005 the Ordinance was updated to change the requirement for metal posts instead of wood. At the time North Texas had a termite infestation and the Ordinance was changed to alleviate any maintenance issues. Durability continues to be the purpose of the Ordinance. The applicant had begun construction of a fence unaware that a permit was required. There are several wooden posts set on the property with no panels attached. Fences are optional within the City of Wylie and are required to meet the requirements only if a home owner wishes to build one. Public comment forms were mailed to 14 (fourteen) property owners within 200 feet of this request, as required by State Law. One response in favor of the Variance has been received at the time of this posting. The Board shall not grant a variance to the development code which: (1) Permits a land use not allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located; or (2) Is in the public right-of-way or on public property; or (3) Alters any definition of the development code; or (4) Is other than the minimum variance that will afford relief with the least modification possible to the requirements of the development code; or (5) Is based on physical conditions or circumstances of the property so general or recurring in nature as to reasonably Page 1 of 2 Page 25 of 31 Page 2 of 2 ZBOA 2012-05 make practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the development code; or (6) Is based exclusively on findings of personal or financial hardship. In order to grant a variance to the development code the Board shall find that all the following have been satisfied: (1) That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions of the lot, or other exceptional physical condition particular to the affected property; (2) That because of these unique physical circumstances or conditions, the property cannot be reasonably developed or used in compliance with the provisions of the development code; (3) That due to such unique physical circumstances or conditions, the strict application of the development code would create a demonstrated hardship; (4) That the demonstrable hardship is not self-imposed; (5) That the variance if granted will not adversely affect the proposed development or use of adjacent property or neighborhood; (6) That the variance, if granted will not change the character of the zoning district in which the property is located; (7) That the variance, if granted is in keeping with the intent of the development code; and (8) That the variance, if granted will not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the citizens of Wylie.
