feet and provide additional open space.

WORK SESSION •.•
Hold a work session to discuss multi-family development on property located east of 650
Country Club.
Mr. Molina stated that the work session will discuss a 24-unit Apartment complex, located east
of 650 Country Club. In July the applicant submitted a zoning change for the property, and staff
is concerned of the lack of street access, the size of the access easement of 24 feet, and Staff is
recommending another access to the south.
Mr. Vance Lazar, 9941 Williford Trial, Frisco, Texas, engineer for the subject property, gave a
presentation to the Commissioners, stating that the apartments will be a gated two building
complex, with 24 apartments, consisting of 15 two-bedroom units, and 8 one-bedroom units.
Each apartment will have two parking spaces.
Staff reminded the Commissioners that this is a work session and not a zoning request. The two
options that Staff is requesting direction includes; no direct access into the development from
Country Club, and direction of obtaining a variance for the access.
Due to the challenges for traffic between the existing commercial uses and the property, some
Commissioners recommended that the use be changed to a retail/office space or an event center.
However, if the multifamily use is desired, then the applicant needs to obtain support from the
commercial uses surrounding the property.
Mr. Haskins reminded the Commissioners of the next P&Z Meeting on December 15, 2020. and
an upcoming joint work session with the City Council and Wylie Economic Development
Corporation on January 12, 2021 to discuss Comprehensive Plan and possible amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance.
