April 7, 1997
Consider approval of the Minutes from the March 3, 1997 Regular Business Meeting.
Note any changes or additions which need to be made.
MINUTES
The Planning and Zoning Commission met in a Regular Business Meeting on March 3, 1997, at 6:30
p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Wylie Municipal Complex, located at 2000 Hwy. 78 North,
Wylie,Texas 75098. A quorum was present and a notice was posted in the time and manner required
by law.
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Bart Peddicord,Rich Eckman, Steve Ahrens,
Cecilia Wood,Jim Smith and Stuart Allison.
ABSENT: Tim Owen-excused
STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Planner - Kelley Shaw, Building Official - Mike Phillips and
Secretary-Rebecca Rogers.
ACTION ITEMS
ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from the February 17, 1997 Regular Business
Meeting. A motion was made by Cecilia Wood, seconded by Steve Ahrens to accept the minutes as
presented. Motion carried, all in favor(6).
ITEM NO. 2: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request from Richard
Parker for approval of a zone change from"A",Agriculture to"MF",Multi-Family Residential District
for a 16.356 acre tract of land located at the southwest corner of Parker Road and Ballard Avenue and
further described as the W.D.Penny Survey,Abstract No.696,Tracts 33 and 33-9. The Public Hearing
requirement for this item was met on 2/17/97. Chairman Peddicord introduced Kelley Shaw,Planner for
the City and Mike Phillips,Building Official for the City of Wylie. Mr. Shaw stated that Staff recommends
approval of this zone change request. The Comprehensive Plan's housing goals are summarized as"to
encourage development of a variety of housing in the City of Wylie,to increase the number and quality of
multi-family housing and also to improve and maintain the quality of existing neighborhoods in Wylie."
The Comprehensive Plan guidelines show to locate multi-family developments along major arterials or
collectors,near convenient activity centers,dispersed so that no more than 200 units are located in any one
area or within a minimum of 1000 ft.of any other development. Mr.Parker's request meets those general
guidelines as well as other specified guidelines (such as being near schools, etc.) There are proposed
multi-family development requirements that will be going before the Planning&Zoning Commission and
City Council for approval by the end of the month. These regulations will provide for stricter quality and
development standards which would apply to any future multi-family developments. Mr.Parker is aware
of these proposed development regulations.
A motion was made by Steve Ahrens,seconded by Rich Eckman,to remove the zone change request from
the table. Motion carried,all in favor(6). Discussion followed regarding how many times an item could
be brought before the board and this one had been previously discussed. A request can be resubmitted
to City Council for approval as many times a person wants unless the City Council denies the request with
prejudice which would require a 12 month waiting period before the request could be resubmitted.
Richard Parker's request had previously been brought before the Commission and was denied. Discussion
regarding the proposed Multi-Family regulations followed. The proposed regulations are in line with the
majority of surrounding cities. Staff has informally discussed the proposed Multi-Family regulations with
1
Richard Parker,but no formal Conceptual plan has been submitted. A traffic study was done by the City's
traffic engineer consultant, Stanton Foerster. The traffic study showed that 185 apartments
(Comprehensive plan would allow 200)would result in a service level "D/E"(currently a level"D", "E"
being at capacity "F"would be failure.) The level of service would drop to"E/F"(at capacity border
failure of service)with left hand turns being made into the apartments without designated turn lanes.
The survey did not include any variables for seasonal traffic. No traffic study was done for the
proposed Woodbridge project.A school impact study was done for the Woodbridge project. W.I.S.D.
already has a bond proposal set for September for a new elementary school. The schools are currently
at or near capacity at this time.
Stuart Allison asked why the City of Wylie should be middle of the road and be in line with Plano
(who accepts a lot of Multi-Family)and be more like a bedroom community like Coppell. Kelley
Shaw replied that he was directed by City Council to study surrounding areas and endeavor to be in
line with the surrounding areas. The ultimate decision would be made by City Council as to what type
of community that the City wants to be. Council will be meeting at the end of this month to discuss
the Multi-Family development standards.The proposals will also come before the Planning&Zoning
Commission. A motion was made to deny the requested zone change by Steve Ahrens, seconded by
Stuart Allison. Motion denied, 3 in favor (Steve Ahrens, Stuart Allison, Jim Smith) 3 opposed
(Cecilia Wood,Bart Peddicord,Tim Owen). A motion was made by Steve Ahrens to table this request
until all members are present, seconded by Rich Eckman. Motion carried,all in favor(6).
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Richard Parker stated that he would prefer for his request to be denied and to move on to City Council.
Ronda Berryhill, 634 N. Ballard Avenue,Wylie, Texas 75098 stated that she felt the P&Z Commission
should send out a survey to all the residents of Wylie to see what direction the residents wanted Wylie to
move in(ie,bedroom community,more industry,etc.)
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Cecilia Wood,to remove Item No. 2 above from the
table. Motion carried,all in favor(6). Mr.Parker was questioned whether it was his intent to withdraw
his request completely and Mr.Parker stated that he was not withdrawing his request,he just wanted to
move it onto City Council. A motion was made by Steve Ahrens, seconded by Jim Smith,to recommend
denial of the zone change request from"A",Agriculture to"MF"Multi-Family Residential District to City
Council. Motion carried, all in favor(6).
A motion was made to adjourn by Stuart Allison, seconded by Steve Ahrens. Motion carried, all in favor
(6). Chairman Peddicord adjourned the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Bart Peddicord, Chairman Rebecca Rogers, Secretary

#2 Action Item
Re: Recommendation for Approval of Stoneridge Preliminary Plat
April 7, 1997
Issue
Consider approval of a Preliminary Plat submitted by Goff Homes for a 73 acre, 65
lot residential development designated as Stoneridge Farms located at the junction
of Stone Road and FM 544 just south of Quail Hollow subdivision.
Background
Per the City of Wylie's Subdivision Regulations, an owner or developer must follow
certain procedures when subdividing for development of any lot, tract or parcel of
land within the Wylie City Limits (or within its jurisdiction). These procedures involve
the approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) and City Council of a
Land Study, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat respectively.
Goff Homes has submitted and received approval of the Land Study. They are now
submitting for approval the Stoneridge Farms Preliminary Plat.
The purpose of the Preliminary Plat is to provide sufficient information to allow the
City staff to review a general plan for the development of a property and make
recommendations. The Preliminary Plat is a general plan which shows the location
of the proposed development, arrangement of streets, alleys and lots, existing
municipal facilities (water, sewer) and other important features.
The Preliminary Plat must conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
development ordinances of the City. The Community Development Department must
determine that all necessary information has been submitted and recommend
approval before the Preliminary Plat is considered for approval by the P&Z
Commission. After P&Z approval it will then go before the City Council for their
approval.
Approval of the Preliminary Plat by the P&Z and City Council constitutes
authorization by the City for the developer to submit application for approval of a
Final Plat subject to compliance with any conditions attached to the approval of the
Preliminary Plat.
This property is located at the junction of Stone Road and FM 544 just south of Quail
Hollow subdivision and is zoned SF-1. The subdivision will be an estate type
development with large lots.
Financial Considerations
All Preliminary Plats are subject to Preliminary Plat filing fees. This fee is $125.00
plus $2.00 per lot or$5.00 per acre in the subdivision (whichever is greater). Once
approved, the platting procedure allows for the Final Plat to be subject to Final Plat
filing fees, Impact Fees, Developmental Inspection Fees, Perimeter Street Fees,
Park Land Dedication Fees, and miscellaneous related fees pertaining to that
subdivision. All of these fees must be paid prior to filing the Plat with the County.
Legal Considerations
Per the adopted Wylie Subdivision Regulations, the Planning and Zoning
Commission of the City of Wylie is vested with the authority to review, approve,
conditionally approve and disapprove applications for the platting or subdivision of
land, including land studies, conveyance plats, preliminary plats, final plats, amended
plats, replats and vacation of plats. The P&Z may grant variances from these
regulations.
All major subdivisions shall be subject to final approval by the City Council.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Stoneridge Farms Preliminary Plat as submitted
by Goff Homes. This proposed development meets the criteria set forth by the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan in regards to the location and type of residential
development. The general layout (streets, lots and utilities) meets development
standards as set forth by applicable ordinances. Staff has had numerous
discussions with Goff Homes representatives and is satisfied that all preliminary plat
requirements have been met. Staff recommends approval of the Stoneridge Farms
Preliminary Plat submitted by Goff Homes so that Goff Homes may proceed with
Final Plat application procedures.
Goff Homes has submitted for P&Z approval a variance request relieving them from
the requirement of constructing sidewalks on both sides of the streets within the
development.
Per Section 5.05 of the Wylie Subdivision Regulations, sidewalks are required for
all lots adjoining dedicated streets and are required on both sides of said streets.
Goff Homes is requesting a variance from this requirement citing that with the nature
of the large lot development, sidewalks would be detrimental to the overall nature
and the "country" feel of this large lot development.
Staff recommends denial of the requested variance. The location of this
development so close to school and park property will inevitably create pedestrian
traffic. Staff recommends that sidewalks be constructed so as to give pedestrian
traffic a place to walk other than the street.

Planning & Zoning Commission
#1 Public Hearing Item
Re: Recommendation for Approval of Multi-Family Residential District
Regulations replacing current regulations
April 7, 1997
Issue
Hold a Public Hearing and Consider recommendation for approval of an Ordinance
establishing Multi-Family Residential District Regulations; replacing current Multi-
Family Residential District Regulations (Sect. 14, Wylie Zoning Ordinance); stating
the purpose and providing standards for development.
Background
A presentation addressing multi-family development was made during a joint meeting
of the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) and City Council in September of
1996. Topics that were discussed included the appropriateness of multi-family
development in a community, guidelines for locations of multi-family developments
and the quality of development standards applied to their construction.
Discussions during the September meeting centered around the issue that
communities need to be able to offer residents a variety of housing types and that
Wylie's own Comprehensive Plan listed that very goal. The fact that apartment units
currently existing in Wylie are virtually 100% occupied with extensive waiting lists
was also stated. There was a general agreement between individuals attending the
workshop that not only was multi-family development a community obligation, but
this specific information indicated that there is an actual market for apartment style
residential housing.
It was noted that projects in and around the area such as the continuation of Loop
190, the widening of State Highway 78 and FM 544 will only increase the growth of
Wylie. This growth can be expected to increase demand for rental property.
City Council and P&Z members recognized that the demand for multi-family housing
alternatives will create the opportunity for the market to produce multi-family
development. Therefore, City Council and P&Z members proposed that a review of
the current multi-family development standards was needed. City Council and P&Z
members realize that there are quality multi-family developments in other cities. They
recommended that a review of their multi-family development standards may help
in determining if, and in what manner, Wylie's standards are lacking. The product
of this review process would include proposed modifications where appropriate.
City Council and P&Z members determined that this review would insure the quality
of multi-family developments to be constructed. It would also assure the City of
Wylie and its residents that higher density type developments would not only provide
a needed type of housing alternative, but be a positive attribute of Wylie's quality of
life and attractiveness.
At this time staff is ready to present for consideration the proposed development
standards.
Financial Considerations
There are no financial considerations regarding this item.
Legal Considerations
Under Article 9, Section 2 (B2) of the Wylie Home Rule Charter, it states that the
Planning and Zoning Commission will recommend to Council proposed ordinances
and amendments regarding planning and zoning changes.
Staff Recommendations
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Multi-Family Development Standards
which will affect the requirements of the following:
• Density
• Plan submittal
• Height restrictions
• Lot size
• Open space
• Lot coverage
• Unit floor areas
• Building setbacks
• Landscaping
After many hours of research and discussions with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council, staff is ready to present the proposed Multi-Family
Development Standards for consideration of approval.
These Regulations are designed to be strict but fair in regards to the construction
of multi-family developments.
Staff believes that these standards will provide an effective mechanism to allow
multi-family development and assure the Wylie community of a quality development
project.
