The Wylie Ranch East residential addition is to the south, and a six-foot solid screen wall will serve as a buffer between the commercial and residential uses. The property was originally platted as Wylie East Ranch Retail Addition, and because the applicant is dividing the lots into two, a replat is on the current agenda for consideration.

Commissioner Bennett requested that he receive a copy of the contours, and engineering plans. Ms. 011ie encouraged the Commissioners that once the packet is received and reviewed on Friday, if they have questions regarding the engineering plans to call the City Engineer on Monday.

Maria Bonilla, Winkelman and Associates, 5750 Hillcrest Plaza, Suite 100, Dallas, represented the architect for the subject property, stated that the final drainage is not complete. The Site Plan shows the drainage easement as a layout, and when the water drainage is complete, the Plat will be filed with all the easements.

Motion carried 7 — 0. Public Hearing 1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change in zoning from Commercial Corridor (CC) District to Planned Development-Commercial Corridor (PD- CC) District, generally located north of FM 544 and east of McCreary Road. ZC2008-04 Ms. 011ie stated that the item is for a Planned Development District with Commercial Corridor uses. The applicant is requesting the change of zoning to allow for flexibility in the parking requirements. The current CC zoning requires parking for retail uses at one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area; parking for a restaurant establishment is one space per every three seats under maximum seating arrangement. The PD as proposed would allow for parking to be based on five spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (1:200) regardless of the use. The PD also restricts some land uses currently allowed under the CC Districts. The retail center is approximately 12,015 square feet on 1.24 acres with 63 total parking spaces. The applicant states that the flexibility would allow them to invite a wide variety of tenants and will allow them the ability to lease the shopping center to a larger restaurant (s) and other food service tenants than would otherwise be allowed. The applicant proposes to prohibit the following land uses: Hotel or Motel, Mortuary or Funeral Home, Automobile Repair, Major, Automobile Repair, Minor, Car Wash, Motor Vehicle Fueling Station, Pawn Shop and Vehicle Display, Sales or Service. Staff recommends the following stipulations be prohibited as well: Animal Boarding/Kennel with Outside Pens, Animal Boarding/Kennel without Outside Pens; Automobile Rental; Contractor's Maintenance Yard; and Restaurants shall occupy no more than 6,000 total square feet of the entire center. The parking ratio for the entire center would be one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, regardless of the user. Ms. 011ie distributed the comment from Sam Satterwhite, Wylie Economic Development Director, which responded neutrally for the zoning requests, and gave the history of the development. The structure was developed by Kinsman Ventures with a focus on office development. The current applicant, Greenway Investment Company has shown a significant interest for a mixed use development of office, retail, restaurant, and other service industry concepts. Minutes April 15, 2008 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 4 of 6 Commissioner Johnston expressed concern for a restaurant with drive through capability and the square footage required for that type of user. He recommended prohibiting Restaurant with drive through capability. All the Commissioners were in consensus of the recommendation. Mr. Mark Hardaway, 2808 Fairmount, Dallas, Texas, represented the applicant, stated that the major component within the retail center would be a restaurant, and would draw the daily traffic to the center. Obtaining additional land from the adjacent property owners is virtually impossible, either by shared parking agreement or purchasing additional land for parking. Chairman Larson opened the Public Hearing. With no one approaching the Commissioners, Chairman Larson closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Vice-Chair Ames, and Commissioner Johnston, to recommend approval to the City Council for a change in zoning from Commercial Corridor to Planned Development-Commercial Corridor District, with stipulations that the following uses be added to be prohibited within the Planned Development Conditions: Animal Boarding/Kennel with Outside Pens; Animal Boarding/Kennel without Outside Pens; Automobile Rental; Contractor's Maintenance Yard; Restaurants with Drive Through, and Restaurants shall occupy no more than 6,000 total square foot of the entire center. The parking ratio for the entire center would be one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, regardless of the user. Property generally located north of FM 544 and east of McCrary Road. ZC 2008 04. Motion carried 7 — 0. Discussion 1. Discussion regarding an amendment to Ordinance No. 2001-48 to provide for regulations of posting signs on property for zoning changes. Ms. 011ie stated that prior to the 2001 Zoning Ordinance amendment, Section 35 was revised by Ordinance 98-23 to include requiring applicants to post signs on the subject property indicating a proposed zoning change. This is the item that the Commissioners requested to look at, and based on the brief discussion at the last meeting, the modifications was inserted into the attached draft Ordinance.
