ZC 2019-04 Staff Comments Mr. Molina stated that the applicant is requesting to rezone a 26.4-acre property generally located northwest of the intersection of Country Club and McMillen Road from Agricultural to Single Family Planned Development.The proposed development would create 90 residential lots with minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet and a minimum of seven lots with a minimum of 7,200 square feet.The house size is a minimum of 1,800 square feet with an overall maximum density of 3.7 units per acre.The applicant is also proposing 3.8 acres of open space,with an existing pond as a water feature with an eight foot wide walking trail. The development will dedicate 50 feet for right-of-way for the future expansion of McMillen Road.Also, proposed is a 35 feet landscape buffer and a six feet wrought iron fence between brick or stone column adjacent to Country Club Road. The area is called as General Urban Sector in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,meaning medium to high density residential with a commercial element.The concept proposes single-family residential lots only with no commercial. The Planned Development Conditions proposes variances to square foot lot minimums,setbacks, roof pitch, lot coverage percentage,and other requirements. Public comment forms were mailed to twenty-four property owners within 200 feet. Four comment forms were received in favor and one comment received in opposition of the request. Public Comments Mr. Rob Baldwin,3904 Elm Street Suite B, Dallas,Texas,represented the applicant for the proposed development,gave a presentation to the Commissioners,stating that the size of the lot will be minimum 50 feet by 120 feet,with a minimum 1,800 house size.The houses will be front-entry with no alleys. Commissioners questioned the variance from the zoning ordinance requirement of 10,000 square feet lot size with a minimum house size of 2,400 square feet.Mr. Baldwin stated that the proposed development is less dense than the Comprehensive Land Use proposes and that size of the house does not equate to house value.The variances to the standards within the Zoning Ordinance will keep everything in proportion to the lot size.

Staff stated that McMillen Road is on the Thoroughfare Road as a six-lane divided major thoroughfare, with the funds split between the City of Wylie and the county. In 2005 a Bond was passed for road improvements,but no funding stipulating for McMillen Road.

Staff stated that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows as the Urban Sector,the property is zoned Agricultural-30,and any type of development would come through Planning&Zoning and City Council for change of zoning.The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a plan and does not regulate zoning. The zoning determines the type of use.
