Ms. 011ie addressed the Commissioners stating that at a work session on October 28, 2021 the Commissioners
gave staff direction to move forward with presenting a rezoning case for the property located at 401 N. Keefer to
allow both commercial and residential uses. Currently the use allowed is residential uses only within the
Downtown Historic District(DTH). If the request is approved,the base zoning of DTH will not change.
The subject property consists of two lots bordered on the east by the Union Pacific Railroad. The property
currently has a gravel access that is railroad easement. There have been several requests for modification and
renovations over the years to the property. Wylie Economic Development Corporation purchased the property in
2021 and is also working with the railroad for ingress and egress access.
Notifications were mailed to 23 surrounding property owners. One written response was received in opposition
and two written responses were received in favor. We also received one telephone response in favor of the request.
In response to the comment received in opposition, the new construction on the property shall be of historic
design and shall adhere to the design standards of the DTH regulations.
Board Discussion
Mr. Jason Greiner, Wylie Economic Development Corporation addressed the Commissioners and gave an update
on the contract with the Union Pacific Railroad. Once the right-of-way with the railroad is obtained,the site plan
will come back to the Commissioners and Planning and Zoning with parking and type of use provided at that
time. A tenant that is interested owns property within the DTH and has a residential and commercial use in one
structure,they would like to separate the business from the residential.
