II. PROCEDURES
Section 2.1: Pre -Application Procedures
The applicant should avail himself or herself of the advice and assistance of the City's
administrative officers, and should consult early and informally with those officers before
preparing a concept plan or any plat in order to save time and money, and to avoid potential
unnecessary delays. Prior to formal application for approval of any concept plan or plat, the
applicant shall request and attend a mandatory pre -application conference with the appropriate
City official(s) in order to become familiar with the City's development regulations and the
subdivision process. At the pre -application conference, the applicant may be represented by his or
her land planner, engineer, or surveyor
Section 2.2: Statutory Procedures
A. Zoning Requirements. A property within the City's corporate limits that is being proposed
for platting must be properly zoned by the City, following the procedures of the City of
Wylie's Zoning Ordinance, prior to submission of an application for approval of any plat or
plan. In addition, the proposed development layout or subdivision design shown on the
proposed plat or plan must be in conformance with all standards and requirements prescribed
in the City's Zoning Ordinance.
Noncompliance with the requirements of the zoning district in which the subject property is
located, or lack of the proper zoning, shall constitute grounds for denial of the plat or plan.
In situations where the zoning on a particular piece of property cannot be ascertained by the
City, the burden of proof regarding the property's zoning shall rest with the property owner.
Proof of proper zoning shall consist of appropriate documentation, such as a copy of the
ordinance establishing the zoning, which shall be reviewed by City officials as to its validity
and authenticity.
Any plat or plan submitted for approval by the City shall be in accordance with the City's
Zoning Ordinance, if the property is located within the City's corporate limits, and, if the
property is located within the City's corporate limits or extraterritorial jurisdiction, it shall
be in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, including all adopted water, sewer,
storm drainage, future land use, park, recreation, open space and thoroughfare plans. All
plats and plans shall be prepared by a licensed civil engineer or a registered land surveyor.
B. Classification of Subdivisions and Additions. Before any deed conveying land is filed for
record with the County Clerk, the property owner shall apply for and secure City Council
approval of the required subdivision plat, in accordance with the following procedures,
unless otherwise provided within this Ordinance.
1. Minor subdivisions may be approved for residential or nonresidential properties. Minor
plat approval by the City Planner requires the submission of a final plat drawing and
other submission materials required by Section 2.11 of this Ordinance. Lots may be
conveyed or sold only when the plat has been approved by the City and the plat has been
recorded with the appropriate County of Record.

Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19
2. Major subdivisions may be approved for residential or nonresidential properties. The
procedure for approval of a major subdivision typically involves three steps: a concept
plan, preliminary plat and final plat. Sections 2.3 through 2.6 of this Ordinance provide
the requirements for each. Major plat approval shall be in accordance with Sections 2.4
through 2.6 of this Ordinance. All major subdivision plats must be reviewed by the
Commission and approved by the City Council, pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2,8 of
this Ordinance. Upon completion of the required public improvements, or upon
submission and City approval of the appropriate surety for public improvements, the
property owner may file the final plat in the land record of the appropriate County of
Record. Lots may be sold only when the final plat has, been recorded at the appropriate
County of Record. No conveyance or sale of any portion or lot of the property may occur
until after the final plat is approved by the City Council and filed at the appropriate
County of Record.
C. Submission Requirements For All Types of Plat and Plan Applications.
1. In addition to the requirements outlined herein for each type of development
application, the City Planner has authority to, and shall establish and maintain separate
policies and procedures for the submission and processing of applications including,
but not limited to, application forms, checklists, language blocks for plats, and other
similar items. The forms, policies, procedures, and other documents references in this
subsection shall be available at the office of the City Planner and published on the City
website. The documents referenced in this subsection may be amended from time to
time by the City Planner, and it is the applicant's responsibility to be familiar with,
and to comply with, the then current policies and procedures.
2. On or before September 1 of each year, the City Planner shall establish and maintain
an official submittal calendar for all land development, plat and plan applications and
filings for the period October 1 to September 30 of each year. The official submittal
calendar shall be available at the office of the City Planner and published on the City
website. The City Planner is entitled to make amendments to the official submittal
calendar by publishing the amended calendar on the City website.
3. On or before September 1 of each year, the City Planner shall establish and maintain
an official disapproval response submittal calendar for the period October 1 to
September 30 of each year. The official disapproval response submittal calendar shall
be available at the office of the City Planner and published on the City website. The
City Planner is entitled to make amendments to the official disapproval response
submittal calendar by publishing the amended calendar on the City website.
D. Official Filing Date and Completeness of Application For All Types of Plats, Plans, and
Disapproval Responses.
1. For the purpose of these regulations, the "official filing date" of a plat or plan shall be
the date on which a complete application for approval of any type of plat or plan, that
contains all required elements and information mandated by the Texas Local Government
Code, Chapter 212 and by this Ordinance, is submitted to the City Planner, after which

applicable.
3. A written notice of incompleteness need not identify all reasons why the application or
filing was deemed incomplete. If a notice contains one or more reasons why the
application or filing was deemed incomplete, addressing the reason(s) identified in the
notice does not guarantee acceptance of a subsequent application or filing.
4. For all incomplete applications and filings, any filing fee paid may be retained by the
City for reviewing the application or filing for completeness. Thereafter, the applicant
must file a .new application, including a new filing fee, if the applicant desires the
application to be considered.

engineering plans and landscape and screening plans, shall be sized at 24" by 36", and
shall be drawn to a known engineering scale of not smaller than one hundred feet to the
inch (1 "=100') or a larger scale. In cases of large developments which would exceed the
dimensions of the sheet at one hundred foot (100') scale, plats may be on multiple sheets
or to another known engineering scale, as approved by the City and acceptable for filing
at the appropriate County of Record.
3. City Staff Review.
(a) Upon official filing of a complete application for plat or plan approval, City staff
shall commence technical review of the development proposal by forwarding a
copy of the application and plat or plan to the Development Issues Review Team
members which include, but shall not be limited to, the City Planner, City Engineer,

Director. Development Issues Review Team members shall review the plat or plan
and shall ascertain its compliance with these and other applicable City regulations.
(b) The applicant may modify a complete application after its filing only in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this subsection. If the modification is for revisions
requested by the City, and the modification is received by the date set forth on the
submittal calendar, the application shall be decided within the original period for
decision (from the original official filing date) prescribed by this Subdivision
Ordinance. In all other instances (e.g., when the applicant chooses to submit a
revised or amended application on the applicant's own accord because of a change
in development decisions), submittal of a modified application shall not be
permitted. The applicant may choose to withdraw the application and submit a new
application or have the municipal authority act on the original application.
4. Action by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The Planning and
Zoning Commission shall review all subdivision plat applications, and if in conformance
4
City of Wylie, Texas Subdivision Ordinance Adopted 2-25-03,
Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19
with the provisions of this Ordinance and with all other applicable regulations of the City
and other applicable laws, they shall be approved by the City Council.
The Commission shall review each plat application and shall recommend approval,
approval with conditions, or disapproval of the plat.
The City Council shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove a plat
application, after considering the Commission's recommendation on the application.
Council action on the plat shall require a simple majority vote of the Council members
present unless otherwise provided under state law.
5. An applicant may submit a written request to extend the thirty (30) day approval
requirement specified in Section 212.009 of the Texas Local Government Code, if
applicable. If the applicant requests an extension, such request must be received by the
applicable municipal authority on or before the eleventh (1 lth) calendar day before the
municipal authority's meeting at which action on the application would have to be taken
based on the statutory deadline to act. Extension requests that are not received by that
date shall not be considered properly submitted, and action shall be taken on the
application at such meeting as scheduled. Requests for extension not submitted in writing
shall be ineffective. Submission of a request for an extension, and acceptance of the
request by the municipal authority, shall not be deemed in any way a waiver of any
requirement set forth in this Ordinance.
F. Simultaneous Submission of Plats. In the event that an applicant submits preliminary plat
and final plat applications simultaneously, as provided in Section 2.4 (C), the City Planner
shall schedule both plat applications for action by the Commission. If the preliminary plat
has not received approval prior to consideration of the final plat by the Commission, then the
Commission shall deny the final plat if the final plat application is not withdrawn by the
applicant. Failure to obtain approval of the preliminary plat shall be grounds for denial of
the final plat. The City Council shall take action on either one or both plat applications, as
applicable, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2 of this Ordinance.
G. Proof of Land Ownership. The City requires proof of land ownership prior to approval of
any development application involving real property. Along with the application
submission, the applicant shall provide written verification, such as a notarized statement or
a power of attorney or other evidence satisfactory to the City Planner, that he or she is the
owner of record of the subject land parcel or parcels, or is the property owner's authorized
agent. The City Planner shall have the authority to determine what document(s) the City will
require to prove ownership, such as one of the following:
1. General warranty deed;
2. Special warranty deed;
3. Title policy; or
4. Some other documentation that is acceptable to the City Planner.
If ownership cannot be conclusively established prior to the meeting date on which the
development application will be heard, the City shall have 'the authority to deny the
application on the basis of protecting the public interest in that the applicant has not
5
City of Wylie, Texas Subdivision Ordinance • Adopted 2-25-03,
Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19
established that he or she has the lawful authority to request such development approval for
the subject property. The applicant may resubmit a new development application, including
the submission fees, for the property at any time following such denial.
H. Lapse of Plat or Plan Approval. The approval of any concept plan or preliminary plat as
required by the Ordinance, shall be effective for a period of one hundred and eighty-three
(183) calendar days after the date that the plat was approved by the Commission or Council,
except as otherwise provided herein. By 12:01 a.m. on the 184th day following Council
approval of the plat, the applicant must have submitted an application for the next
consecutive step in the platting process. If this is not accomplished, then the approved plan
or plat shall be deemed to have expired and shall become null and void.
The approval of a final plat and the City Engineer's approval of engineering plans for
proposed public improvements shall be effective for a period of one hundred and eighty-
three (183) days after the date that the plat or plans were approved by the Commission and
Council, respectively. If the required fees are not paid and the applicable site construction
not commenced within this time period, the final plat shall expire and become null and void,
unless such time period is extended or reinstated by the City Planner.
Following the acceptance of all improvements, the final plat shall be filed at the appropriate
County of Record at the applicant's earliest convenience. A filed final plat is valid in
perpetuity, unless vacated or amended. Failure to file a final plat with the County in a timely
manner may result in the withholding of connection of City utilities.
I. Extension and Reinstatement Procedure. Prior to the lapse of approval for a plat or plan, the
property owner may petition the City to extend the plat or plan approval. Such petition shall
be considered by the City Council, and an extension may be granted by Council for a specific
period of time. If no petition for extension of plat or plan approval is submitted by the
property owner prior to the expiration date, then the plat or plan shall be deemed to have
expired and shall become null and void. The property owner must thereafter submit a new
plat or plan application for approval, and shall conform to the subdivision regulations then
in effect.
The City Council may extend the approval subject to additional conditions based upon newly
enacted City regulations or State legislation, or such as are necessary to ensure compliance
with the original conditions of approval and to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
The Council may also specify a shorter time for extension of the plat or plan than the original
183-day approval period.
J. Lapse of Approval of Engineering Plans. The approved engineering plans shall be valid for
a period of one hundred eighty-three (183) calendar days following approval by the City
Engineer. The City Council may, upon written request by the applicant, grant an extension
of up to an additional 183 calendar days, after which the engineering plans shall be subject
to re -approval by the City Engineer if no construction has occurred.

City of Wylie, Texas Subdivision Ordinance Adopted 2-25-03,
Amended 7-24-07, 9-10-19
applicant's engineer shall correct the plans as requested and shall resubmit them back to the
City Engineer for re -review.
Engineering plans shall be prepared by or under the direct supervision of a professional
engineer licensed in the State of Texas, as required by State law governing such professions
and in accordance with this Ordinance and the City's Design Manuals and Standard
Construction Details. All engineering plans submitted for City review shall be dated and
shall bear the responsible engineer's registration number, his or her designation of
"professional engineer" or "RE.", and the engineer's seal. The City Engineer shall approve
engineering plans when such plans meet all of the requirements of this Ordinance and the
Design Manuals and Standard Construction Details.
Engineering plans shall be in conformance with the Design Manuals and Standard
Construction Details and with the requirements set forth herein. Engineering plans showing
paving and design details of streets, alleys, culverts, bridges, storm sewers, water mains,
sanitary sewers, sidewalks, screening and retaining walls, landscape and irrigation plans (if
appropriate), and other engineering details of the proposed subdivision at a scale of one inch
equals 40 or 50 feet (1" = 40' or 50') horizontally and one inch equals 4, 5, or 10 feet (1" _
4', 5' or 10') vertically shall be submitted to the City Engineer (or designee) along with a copy
of the preliminary plat of the subdivision. The number of copies as specified by the City
shall be submitted along with the preliminary plat submittal.
As part of the engineering plans, a drainage plan showing how the drainage of each lot relates
to the overall drainage plan for the plat under consideration shall be submitted. The drainage
plan shall be made available to each builder within the proposed subdivision and all builders
shall comply with the drainage plan.
H. Revisions to Approved Preliminary Plat. It is generally recognized that minor revisions to
the preliminary plat may be needed before the final plat can be filed at the County of Record.
Minor revisions such as the slight enlargement or shifting of easements or lot lines, addition
of private or franchise utility easements, correction of bearings or distances, correction of
minor labeling errors, addition of erroneously omitted informational items and labels, etc.
may occur on the final plat without the necessity of submitting a new or amended preliminary
plat application. Major revisions, such as obvious reconfiguration of lot lines or easements,
relocation of driveways or access easements or fire lanes, any modification to the perimeter
or boundary of the property, and relocation or addition or deletion of any public improvement
(including corresponding easement), shall necessitate the filing of a new preliminary plat
application. The procedures applicable to such applications shall be the same as for a
preliminary plat, and such re -approval may constitute a new project thus necessitating
submission of a new application form, payment of new fees, and other requirements.
