Public Hearing
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City
Council, amending the zoning from Business Government(BG) District to
Commercial Corridor (CC) District on 19.100 acres, generally north of
FM 544 and approximately 1,700 feet east of Country Club Road (FM
1378). ZC 2012-02
Ms. 011ie stated that request is from City of Wylie and Wylie Economic Development
Corporation. The subject lot is located north of FM 544 and east of Country Club Road
is 19.1 acres in size and is part of the larger 260.083 acre tract platted as Wylie Civic
Center Addition. Lot 1 is 19.674 acres in size and consists of the Wylie Municipal
Complex, Recreation Center, and the Public Library. The remaining are undeveloped
and are in their natural state.
The request is to rezone Lot 4 from Business Government (BG) District to Commercial
Corridor (CC) District to make it suitable for commercial development and to better
conform to the current and future Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The tract of land does
not fit the profile for open space/parkland and is more suitable for retail/light commercial
development.
Wylie Economic Development desires to make improvements to the property by making
it marketable for commercial development. Currently, there is no user in mind, but use
would be commercial.
Ten notifications were mailed to property owners within 200 feet, one response favoring
the request was received, and none in opposition.
Commissioner Dahl questioned the tax exemption of the property. Mr. Sam Satterwhite,
Director WEDC, stated that the property will remain tax exempt until which time
conveyed to developer.
The Commissioners discussed stipulations on what will be developed and provisions for
amount of open-space. Ms. 011ie stated that the request is for straight zoning and
requesting provisions is for zoning with Planned Development.
Chairman Johnston opened the Public Hearing. With no one approaching the
46.400Pb. Commission, Chairman Johnston closed the Public Hearing.
