PUBLIC HEARING
1. Hold a Public Hearing to consider, and act upon, a recommendation to City Council .1
regarding an amendment to the City of Wylie Zoning Ordinance (2006-04), Section 5.1
(Land Use Charts) and Section 5.2 (Listed Uses) as they relate to allowed uses within the
Neighborhood Services (NS) Zoning District. ZC 2019-13.
Staff Comments
Mr. Haskins stated that on August 13, 2019, Council and planning staff held a work session
regarding Multi-Family and Single-Family Attached Dwelling uses allowed within Neighborhood
Services. Council directed staff to examine the possibility of removing those uses from the
Neighborhood Service District. Staff has determined that NS districts generally focus on non-
residential uses and emphasize commercial components. Additionally, surrounding cities do not
allow multi-family uses in NS District. Furthermore, the NS District was created by Zoning
Ordinance in 2001, with the Village Center Concept. In 2006 the Zoning Ordinance was amended
removing the Village Center Concept.
Staff mailed notifications to approximately 400 citizens that reside or have property near NS
zoning districts, and received responses overwhelmingly indicating support of an amendment
removing multi-family uses from NS.
The proposed text amendment removes Multifamily Dwelling, Single-Family Attached Dwelling,
and Assisted Living as allowed uses. The Boarding or Rooming House would now require a
Specific Use Permit. Lastly, references to those uses in the 'additional provisions' sections are
removed, as those uses are no longer allowed within the NS District.
Public Comments
Chair Smith opened the Public Hearing.
Ms. Lillian Pinkus, 1300 Brown Street, questioned the purpose of the change and type of uses
allowed within NS. Staff offered a couple of options for the uses allowed by right; such as, group
home, retail shopping center, financial institution, medical office and mostly light commercial
uses. The purpose of the request is a couple of Council Members requested staff to examine, but
were in favor of removing, the Multifamily Dwelling and Single-Family Dwelling as an allowed
use by right.
Chair Smith closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioners Action
A motion was made by Vice Chair Owens, and seconded by Commissioner McCrossin, to
recommend approval to the City Council regarding an amendment to the City of Wylie Zoning
Ordinance (2006-04), Section 5.1 (Land Use Charts) and Section 5.2 (Listed Uses) as they relate
to allowed uses within the Neighborhood Services (NS) Zoning District ZC 2019-13. A vote was
taken and carried 5 —0.
