Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon a recommendation to the City Council regarding a change of toning tiorn Commercial Corridor (CC) and ight Industrial (Li) to Planned Development-Light Industrial (PD-LI) to alIm for proposed Mixed Use Development for retail and self-storage use on 6.25 acres, generally located southeast of Sib 78 between Century Way and old Alanis Dtive. ZC 2016-03. Staff Presentation Ms. 011ie stated that the applicant is requesting a change of zoning to establish Planned Development zoning to allow a .Mixed 'Sc Development on 6.25 acres southeast of SF1 78 between Century Way and old Alanis 'Drive. The proposal includes development of 9,3.00 square feet of commercial retail space and 106.800 gross square feet of sell-storage along the frontage of 1-lighway 78 on approximately 2- /2 acres, currently zoned Commercial Corridor. The balance of the property will consists of two three-story self-storage buildings and one single-story self-storage building and is currently zoned Light Industrial. The Commercial Corridor proportion is approximately 280 feet in depth and is situated approximately 2.500 feet or °,./2 mile northeast from the southern city limit line along SI 78. The 9.300 square foot retail space covers about eight percent of the frontage lot, while the footprint of the storage facility comprises about thirty-five percent of the frontage lot. In 2007 City Council adopted Ordinance 2007-04 specifying the location of mini-warehouse uses throughout the City. In 2011, Council again directed staff to revisit land use categories and specifically address mini-storage uses. With the adoption of Ordinance 2012-01, mini- warehouse uses were allowed with a Special Use Permit only within Light industrial and Heavy Industrial Districts. The proposed location is a major gateway into the city. However, staff feels that there are some unique characteristics in the shape of the lot that may warrant such uses. Due to the narrowness of the Light Industrial portion, mini-warehouse uses may be conducive to the site, This portion is approximately 167 feet in width. Staff's recommendation does differ from the proposal as submitted. Staffs recommendation is that the front portion remains Commercial Corridor zoning and allow only those uses designated by the current toning ordinance. The remaining portion would allow mini-storage uses and prohibit those uses as listed in the Planned Development Conditions. Eleven notifications were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the proposal. One response was received in favor of the request. and one response in opposition of the request. Thirty-seven responses were received outside the notification area, with seven responses outside city limits. Three responses were received from the same address within the 200 foot buffer. The comments made from those opposing. stated why allow self-storage adjacent to an existing self-storage facility the subject property is a gateway into the city, and asked for development for restaurants. The architectural and landscape design of the facility meets and or exceeds the base requirements of the zoning ordinance. Annlicant and Board Discussion Minutes February 16, 2016 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 3 of 5 Mr. Bill Dahlstrom, 2323 Ross Avenue, Suite (10). Dallas, Texas and Mr. Coy Quine., 301 S Sherman Street, Dallas, Texas both represented as the applicant for the proposed property. Mr, Dahlstrom stated that the proposed mini warehouse facility \vill be high quality, with architectural enhancements and landscaping that exceeds the requirements within the zoning ordinance, The loading and unloading for the self-storage units are covered and out of the elements, and are climate controlled. An eight foot tubular fence is proposed to be installed surrounding the property. The buildings facing Elighway 78 will be approximately 3-1/2 stories tall, the first floor will allow retail/restaurant, The top floor will allow self-storage, With an elevator and co erect parking in the back. The covered parking will allow clients to load and unload out of the elements. The types of clientele are homeowmers desiring to store items due to enlarging house size, and not small contracting companies. No caretakers will be living on the property. 'the access will be through a code-accessed gate, and the office will be open seven days a week from 9:00 am to 6:100 pin.

Mr. Shawn Valk, 1834 S FM 551, Fate, Texas, spoke in opposition of the request, stating that the market does not call for additional self-storage units,. as he owns property that is approved to construct a sell-storage unit with commercial on the front, Mr. Don Triplet, 7018 Cottonwood, Sachse, spoke in opposition of the request, stating that proposed facility is very large. Even though Wylie and Sachse are both growing, we don't want to look back see a lot of storage facilities. Mr, Sam Satterwhite, WEDC, stated that he was neither in favor nor in opposition of the request. The proposal offers enhancement landscaping to the two and half acres, which is Over and above the requirements within the zoning ordinance. The back portion of the .property is very narrow and would be difficult to develop. Chair Smith closed the Public Hearing. Board I)iscussion Minutes February 16, 2016 Wylie Planning and Zoning Board Page 4 of 5 Mr. Dahlstrom stated that the economy demands the proposed type of mini-warehouse units. The entire facility will he tire sprinkled. In response to public comments made, competition makes the economy strom.t. The value of the property to develop is approximately 12 to 13 million dollars.

Board Action A motion was made by Commissioner Owens to recommend approval of the Zoning Case 2016-03, with commercial use only in the front two and a half acres (2 °/2 acres) and allow the self-storage in the back on three point seven (3.7) acres.

Ms. 011ie stated that the proposal is still a Planned Development zonint2,„ and restricting the uses on the front is a stipulation only.
