Re: Proposed Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
Background:
During the October 25, 2005 Council meeting, questions arose regarding proposed
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. At that time, the City Council requested that
staff provide documents which compare the existing versus proposed Ordinance.
The item was tabled and the Public Hearing was continued to November 14, 2005.
Please find attached a comparison of Article 3 Residential District Regulations, and
Article 4 Nonresidential District Regulations,which shows proposed new provisions
as underlined,and proposed deletions with a strike-through.
Regarding the Proposed Amendments in Relation to the Entire Zoning Ordinance:
In reviewing the proposed amendments, staff has identified some areas of concern
regarding the amendments to Article 3 and Article 4 in context with the rest of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance is currently structured to include
residential district regulations in Article 3, nonresidential district regulations in
Article 4, and use regulations in Article 5. Articles 3 and 4 specify such details as
setback, structure size, and architectural requirements. These sections in the current
ordinance include Charts which delineate base standards and desirable standards,
followed by the Design Standards section which provides a more detailed narrative
explaining the intent of the provisions within the charts. The proposed ordinance
establishes new zoning districts, deletes others, and creates some changes in both the
base and desirable standards, but deletes the detailed narrative in the Design
Standards. It is recommended that the Design Standard sections of Articles 3 and 4
be reviewed and amended to provide the clarification needed for staff to be able to
enforce and administer the ordinance as intended.
Within the context of the entire Zoning Ordinance, the creation and deletion of
zoning categories within Articles 3 and 4 without amending Article 5 creates a
disconnect between the two sections. As an example, Article 3, Section 3.1 A.
creates a new zoning district of AG/30 and deletes AG/28. Article 3, Section 3.1 A.
2. Permitted Uses references the Use Chart in Article 5 to determine what land uses
are permitted within AG/30,however,Articles 5 was not amended to include AG/30.
1
This situation also applies to the proposed new districts of SF-1A/30, SF-20/26, SF-
10/24, LI, and HI. The bottom line is that, as it is currently written, the ordinance
amendment creates new zoning districts that cannot be applied until Article 5 can be
amended to specify what land uses are permitted in each district. Therefore, staff
recommends that this section of the ordinance be reviewed and amended to conform
to Articles 3 and 4.
A worksession has been tentatively set for the November 15 Planning Commission
meeting to discuss the amendments to Articles 3,4 and 5.
Infill Zoning District
In discussing this district with the City Attorney, staff recommends that no action be
taken regarding the Infill Zoning at this time. Further clarification of local authority
is needed,particularly in the context of recent changes to State Law.
Franchise Design
During the October 25 meeting, Council requested staff to provide a definition of
"franchise design". Staff researched the item and offers the following examples:
Franchise — the same store, often built to look exactly the same, located in
multiple locations across the region or country; may be called a `chain of
stores.'
Franchise Architecture: The term "franchise architecture" means the design
and construction of buildings for which the tenants and/or uses are readily
recognizable solely by the buildings' architectural elevations,colors,materials,
other architectural elements and/or the arrangement thereof.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
Council Meeting Of: November 14, 2005 Originating Department: Planning and Zoning
Prepared By: Renae' 011ie
Account Code No. #: Date Prepared: October 13, 2005
Budgeted Amount: Exhibits: 4
AGENDA SUBJECT: Continue a Public Hearing and consider and act upon Ordinance No. 2005-58
approving certain revisions to the residential and non-residential development requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted on October 4, 2005, 6—0 to recommend approval.
SUMMARY:
Note: During the October 25, 2005 meeting, the Council opening the public hearing to consider revisions to
the Zoning Ordinance and continued the public hearing to November 14, 2005.
On May 24, 2005 the City Council adopted the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan, and these revisions to
the Plan dictate the need for corresponding revisions to the Zoning Ordinance.
The Council held a joint work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission in June to provide policy
direction for these revisions. On September 6, the Commission held a work session with developers and
builders currently involved in Wylie. At the September 20, 2005 meeting, the Commission finalized the draft
recommendations, and held a public hearing on October 4 to receive citizen comments.
Notices of the public hearings by the Commission and Council were mailed to all postal addresses within the
Wylie zip code as well as published twice in the Wylie News. Three (3) written comments have been
received from the public at the time of this posting. Two of these comments encouraged separation or
screening between differing land uses and the third spoke to a specific traffic problem rather than to land use.
Attached are the proposed development regulations for Article 3/Residential and Article4/Nonresidential and
the revised Map of the proposed districts as well as requirements of the current Zoning Ordinance.

AGENDA SUBJECT: Hold a Public Hearing and consider and act upon Ordinance No. 2005-58 approving
certain revisions to the residential and non-residential development requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
SUMMARY (Continued):
The lot size for all new residential development has been established at 10,000 square feet, 30,000 sq. ft. or 1
acre, and dwelling sizes have been increased for all new lots to 2,400 sq. ft, 2,600 sq. ft. and 3,000 sq. ft.
respectively. The Base development requirements for new residential uses have been significantly
strengthened, and the flexible system of Desirable value-added choices has been modified.
Nonresidential districts have been modified to eliminated the Business Center (BC) District and create the
Light Industrial and Heavy Industrial Districts, with reduced setbacks which conform to the existing platting
patterns of these older areas. The development requirements for nonresidential uses remain largely as
currently-adopted except for the changes to the architectural requirements and increased landscaping.
The City-wide Zoning Map has been revised to reflect the reduced number of residential districts, and all
currently-zoned SF 8.5 land will be reclassified at the new minimum size of SF-10. Residential properties that
are already platted will continue to comply with the dimensional regulations (lot and dwelling size as well as
setbacks) which were in force when that property was platted, but must comply fully to the proposed use and
proposed Infill regulations.
