Public Hearing
Zoning Case 2014-04
Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a
change in zoning from Commercial Corridor (CC) to Planned Development Light
Industrial District (PD-LI) to allow for the development of a Light Assembly facility with
limited industrial uses; on approximately 2.65 acres generally located east of Commerce
Street and north of Business Way. ZC 2014-04.
Staff Presentation
Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant is Wylie Economic Development
Corporation (WEDC), requesting to amend the zoning on approximately two
acres of commercially zoned land to allow for limited light industrial uses.
The Planned Development will adhere to all the requirements within the Light
Industrial District by the Zoning Ordinance, with one exception.Conditions of
the PD allow service and loading areas to face a public street or adjacent
residential districts. Within the Zoning Ordinance loading areas are not
allowed to face public street or adjacent residential districts. The subject tract
is separated from the residential district by a 100' railroad right-of-way.
Board Discussion
Commissioners questioned the visibility of the loading areas. Staff stated that the
building is not visible from FM 544, but the property is located at the end of the street
on Commerce, and the loading areas would be visible from Commerce. The property
to the north is buffered by the railroad and a 100 feet right-of-way to the adjacent
residential districts.
Commissioners questioned if the intersection at FM 544 and Commerce warrants a
signal light. Staff responded that currently the intersection does not warrant a traffic
signal. If the proposed use and existing uses warrant a traffic signal, a request would
be submitted to TxDot, at this time no traffic signal light is warranted.

Mr. Sam Satterwhite, Director Wylie Economic Development Corporation, applicant
stated that a use has initiated the zoning request, for a 20, 000 to 25, 000 square foot
