Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to City Council regarding a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for an Auto Repair, Major use on one lot (Regency Business Park, Phase I, Block B, Lot 1) on 0.30 acre, generally located east of Regency Drive and south of Steel Road. Zoning Case 2008-01 Mr. Lee stated that the subject property is located within the Regency Industrial District at the southeast corner of Regency Drive and Steel Road (101 Regency Drive) and totals 0.33 acre. An 800 square foot metal building occupies the southern region of the property along with a fenced open storage area towards the rear. The applicant proposes an automotive paint and body repair facility, which is designated as an Automotive Repair, Major use by the Zoning Ordinance. On January 8, 2008, the City Council voted to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow Automotive Repair, Major uses within the Light Industrial zoning district by Specific Use Permit (SUP). An SUP provides a means of oversight and evaluation by the Commission and City Council of certain uses as to its probable effects upon adjacent properties and community's welfare by assuring appropriateness and compatibility with surrounding land uses. Twelve notifications were mailed, five (5) responses returned in favor and two (2) opposing the request. Vice-Chair Ames questioned the time frame for inoperable vehicles parked outside and how is it enforced. Mr. Lee stated that a stipulation could be made at the time of approval, to state no outside inoperable parking longer than 24 hours. Commissioner Bennett questioned the notification response in opposition, stating that there are three existing major automotive repair uses adjacent to the subject property. Mr. Lee stated that the clientele for the facility directly across the street is fleet, or heavy vehicles particularly school buses and large vehicles. The facility adjacent to the east has been in and out of business quite a bit within the last couple of years. Ms. 011ie reminded the Commissioners the difference between a major auto repair and a minor auto repair, which is major auto repair, has a paint booth and allows engine rebuilding. The proposed facility will have no repairs or inoperable vehicles on the outside, all the work will be on the inside. The proposed facility will look on the outside as a professional office building. Mr. Wala Hameed, 402 Francis Way, Richardson, represented the applicant for the subject property, stated that the proposed major automotive repair facility will not be in competition with the surrounding existing facilities. The proposed business is strictly by appointment, and the clientele includes two major insurance companies, which will be referring customers to the facility. There will be no drop offs or walk-ins, unless an appointment was made. Minutes January 15, 2008 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 5 of 7 Commissioner Johnston questioned the number of vehicles allowed inside the building due to the size being 6,000 square feet. Mr. Hameed stated that on the inside the bays will be oriented to stack the vehicles. There will be four vehicles allowed on one row, and there will be approximately two or three rows. Commissioner Wright questioned the exhausts from the paint. Mr. Hameed stated that the paint booth will be in a separate building, and will conform to all regulations set by the Texas Commission Environmental Quality Commission (TCEQC). The paint is not air dried, but activated quick dry. All equipment is 100 percent recyclable, and every ounce of paint is accounted and tracked. The paint used supersedes the paint available at Home Depot or other paint stores. The amount of paint that comes out of the paint gun, sixty-five percent actually attaches to the vehicle, thirty-five percent goes up to the environmental container. The vehicle takes approximately fifteen minutes to dry. The TCEQC allows by right a total of 850 gallons of paint per month, the facility currently in Richardson uses 7.2 percent of the 850 gallons for the past ten months. Commissioner Kopchenko questioned the location of the retail center proposed between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway. Ms. 011ie stated that the proposed subject property is located south of the retail center, and is closer to the proposed sports complex tract within the PD 2006 01. Mr. Hameed stated that the intention is to construct one new building and use the existing building on the subject property. One of the buildings will be used for preparation and paint booth. Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Paul Mann, 114 Regency, directly across the street from the subject property, spoke in favor of the request and that the proposed development will improve the existing lot and good for the Business Park. Mr. Don Herzog, 9696 Skillman, Dallas, developer for retail center between McCreary Road and Springwell Parkway, spoke in favor of the request and in favor that all inoperable vehicles be inside. Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner Onufreiczuk, and seconded by Vice-Chair Ames, to recommend approval with stipulations no inoperable vehicles parked outside longer than 24 hours, to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Light Industrial (LI) District to Light Industrial — SUP (LI-SUP) District for an Auto Repair Major use, located at 101 Regency Drive, Block B, Lot 1 in the Regency Business Park Phase I Addition.

Dennis Larson,Chairman ATTEST: Mary Bradley,Secretary Minutes January 15, 2008 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 7 of 7 Wylie Planning and Zoning CITY OF YLIE Commission O Meeting Date: February 5,2008 Item Number: 1 Department: Planning 403 S. SH 78 (Tract 20, S. Prepared By: Charles H. Lee, AICP Subdivision: Shelby Survey,Abstract A0820 Date Prepared: 11/20/07 Zoning District: Commercial Corridor(CC) Exhibits: Site Plan Subject Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for an existing retail building on Tract 20 of S. Shelby Survey, Abstract A0820. Subject property being located at 403 S. State Highway 78. Recommendation Motion to approve a Site Plan for an existing retail building on Tract 20 of S. Shelby Survey, Abstract A0820, located at 403 S. State Highway 78. Discussion The property owners/applicant is proposing to utilize the existing commercial building by converting it into a retail furniture store and warehouse. The property is zoned Commercial Corridor(CC) and totals 0.45 acres in size. Located along the south side of State Highway 78 and west of Williams Street, the 4,500 square foot masonry building was previously Wylie Auto Parts(Car Quest)for 20 years. Over the past several weeks, the owner of the property has been remolding the interior of the building in anticipation for possible reuse and conversion to another viable commercial development along the SH 78 corridor. Since the mid-1980s when the property was initially developed, the City of Wylie's Development Regulations, Fire & Building Codes has since been upgraded. Therefore staff and property owner spent considerable amount of effort towards achieving redevelopment of the property into an adaptive reuse consistent with current adopted regulations. The property has direct access to both SH 78 & Williams Street; however due to the State's rights-of-way along the frontage of the property and City's rights-of-way to the west; the property posed constraints in meeting required parking and providing minimum fire lane coverage. These two required regulations posed unique challenges to the applicant. Therefore in considering the reuse of the subject property, parking was calculated separately based on retail use and warehouse use accordingly. In summary, the proposed site plan for the development conforms to nonresidential design standards in meeting the intent of the ordinance. Site design is acceptable given the added required improvements, including the upgrading parking area, dumpster relocation with masonry screening, additional paving of driveways, parking spaces, and designation of emergency access locations Staff supports and recommends approval of the site plan subject to the Planning&Zoning Commission.
