SECTION 6.3 DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT(DTH)
A. Purpose
Wylie's downtown has been identified by the Comprehensive Plan as a valuable resource
worthy of preservation as a historic district. This district provides development and design
standards that preserve the historic and architectural character of existing development,
provides for adaptive reuse of existing buildings and the compatibility of new structures and
uses with the historic nature of downtown.
A non-contributing building and/or structure means a building not contributing to the historic
significance of the district and does not add to the district's sense of time and place, and
historical development; or one where the location, design, setting, materials, workmanship,
feeling, and association have been so altered or have so deteriorated that the overall integrity
of the building has been irretrievably lost. Typically, contributing structures are older than 50
years. Typically, non-contributing structures are less than 50 years old. For the purposes of
this section, a contributing structure shall be those structures built prior to the World War II.
PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1890-1940
CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES: Any building within a historic district that adds to
the overall historic integrity and architectural quality of the district.
NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES: An existing building within a historic district
that does not contribute to the historic character of the district. These buildings were
usually constructed after the era of significance. (1890-1940).
44,
Architectural Styles that are prominent or important to the City of Wylie vary in style and
form. New structures and major renovations should be compatible with these existing
styles. (Virginia Savage McAlester's book "A Field Guide to American Houses" would be
an appropriate reference).
• Victorian(1860-1900)
o Architectural Precedent: National Folk, Queen Anne,
Italianate
o Roof Type: Asphalt/fiberglass shingles
o Roof Forms: Steep pitched of irregular shape, dominant front-gabled,
gable front and wing, side-gabled,pyramidal with moderate pitch.
o Heights: One and two stories
o Eave: Boxed or open
o Building Materials: Wood siding,patterned wood shingles
o Detailing: Porches with spindlework detailing and jigsaw cut trim. Lace-
like spandrels and turned balusters may be used in porch railings and in
friezes suspended from the porch ceiling. Window surrounds may have
simple pediments above
o Other Features: Spindlework details and jigsaw cut trim is sometimes
used in the gables.
• Arts and Crafts (1870— 1920)

D. Permitted Uses
1. The Downtown Historic District may contain any combination of uses shown in the Use
Chart in Article 5, Section 5.1.
2. Within the Downtown Historic District there are both residential and nonresidential uses
which may be located in either residential structures or commercial structures. To
maintain the architectural and historic character of existing blocks where one type of
structure predominates, the following regulations shall apply.
a. Residential uses may be in residential structures or commercial structures. Residential
uses in commercial structures are only allowed if they occupy less than 40 percent of
the floor area of the building; and do not occupy the area adjacent to the street front.
b. Nonresidential uses may be in residential or commercial structures. Nonresidential
uses in residential structures must be in those blocks where existing residential
structures predominate.

along Keefer Street from Elliot Street on the south to Brown Street on the north, and
including properties north of Brown Street on Keefer Street, as depicted in Figure 6.1
and on the official zoning map of the City of Wylie.
E. Downtown Historic District Development and Design Standards and Guidelines
Each historic style in Wylie is equally important, just as each house and the way it has, or
will, develop is important. The historic district designation is not meant to freeze the
neighborhood in time, but rather to guide the neighborhood into the future. The most
significant events that effect the change of character in a historic district areP remodeling,
demolition and new construction. When altering an existing structure, or constructing a new
structure in the district, it is important to draw upon the context of the local neighborhood for
inspiration. This does not mean that new construction should mimic existing buildings.
However, new construction should be sympathetic to the existing building typologies within
the district and, more specifically, in the block face, if applicable.
1. Purpose of Downtown Historic District Design Standards. The purpose of these
design standards is to ensure the preservation of the historic and architectural qualities
which make the Downtown Historic District a unique place by permitting new
development compatible with existing historic buildings and by maintaining the historic
and architectural qualities of existing buildings.
a. Site Design Standards. The purpose of the Site Design Standards is to provide for
building and parking placement compatible with existing development.
b. Architectural Standards. The purpose of the Architectural Standards is to provide for
the preservation of existing historic and architectural qualities of Downtown Wylie,
J 5; Page 14 of 32
DRAFT
EXHIBIT "A"
ensure new construction is compatible with these qualities, and to protect and
promote the uniqueness of downtown as a commercial area.
Definition of"Standards" and "Guidelines"
Standards are objective, measurable regulations, often illustrated through diagrams and
sketches with which all projects must comply. They will use language such as "shall" and
"prohibit". If a project of exceptional design is clearly consistent with the Purpose of the
Standards and Guidelines but does not conform to a certain standard, the Historic
Commission may approve a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) that cites the project's
compliance with that purpose.
Design Guidelines are more subjective statements through which the City proposes
additional design strategies and will use language such as "should" and "may". The
guidelines should be suitable for most projects, and developers should endeavor to ensure
that guidelines are followed to the extent possible.
2. Standards and Guidelines for New Commercial Construction, Reconstruction, and
Additions
a. Design Principles of New Construction. New construction should reflect design
concepts of the period in which it is created, while recognizing that a new building or
additions must fit within an existing framework of a variety of older structures. New
structures and additions shall harmonize with older structures. Means for
differentiating may include materials, form and construction method. Style is
discouraged from being the primary indicator of differentiation.
b. Design Standards—New Commercial Structures
(1) Building Placement—New Commercial Structures
(a) Buildings shall be placed on the front property line. Buildings may be moved
back from the front property line a total of four feet to provide for wider
sidewalks and entries, if: The buildings takes up an entire block face; or is
located on a corner; or has a total frontage of more than 50 percent of the block
face.
(b) New commercial structures shall be allowed only in block faces which are
predominately developed with existing commercial structures, or are
predominately vacant land.
(c) Buildings shall be placed on the side property line. Buildings may be moved
back from the side property line a total of four feet to provide for wider
sidewalks and entries when the side property line is along a street.
(d) Buildings that go through a block so that they have frontage on two parallel
streets, shall treat each frontage as a main façade.

property line. Front setbacks are very important to the character of a historic
district. To maintain the character of the district, it is important that new
buildings maintain a similar setback to the historic structures on the block.
Consistent spacing between buildings helps to establish an overall rhythm
along a particular street.
(b) Site Configuration and Orientation - The site configuration and orientation
of new buildings or structures shall be compatible and consistent with the
orientation of existing buildings or structures on the adjacent lots within the
block face.
(c) New residential structures shall construct at least a six (6) foot wide side

PORCH AT A FRdNT ABLE at a SMALL WRAP AROUND PORCH
RAFTSI AN HOUSE at a FOLK VICTORIAN HOUSE
DESIGN TIPS:
• Because the elimination or enclosure of a front or side porch alters the
character of a building significantly, it is not considered appropriate.
(Grapevine, TX.)
• Align all header heights.
• Use at least 4" trim for windows, doors and corner boards on •residential
structures.
• Balustrades are comprised of three pieces: top rail, a bottom rail, and a
baluster. When replacing a balustrade it is •important to tale into
11 13;� ' Page 22 of 32
DRAFT
EXHIBIT "A"
consideration style and character of the structure, as well as, existing
building code. When installing a new balustrade it should be sympathetic to
the architectural style or have simplified detailing.
• Reference national standards: http://www.nps.gov/tps/standards.htm
(4) Building Proportions—New Residential Structures
(1) Residential structures within the Downtown Historic District may be a
maximum of two stories in height, so long as the second floor is located under
the roof over the first floor. Dormers and/or windows in the gable end of the
roof shall be used to provide light and air.
(2) Residential structures shall have a minimum roof pitch and style of house that is
consistent with those predominantly found on the block face.
(3) The building height shall not exceed thirty-five (35') feet at the roof ridge and
up to forty (40') feet for architectural elements including but not limited to
turrets,pinnacles.
(5) Building Materials—New Residential Structures

Historic District shall be wood siding and/or composite masonry materials
having a wood pattern.
(2) The width of the siding shall be between no more than six inches in width.
(3) Vertical siding is prohibited. Board and Batten is an acceptable style.
(4) Vinyl siding, plastic, and EIFS are prohibited for use of building envelope
materials.
(5) Metal roofs and metal sheeting used as the primary building envelope material
on primary residential structures are prohibited.
1) Metal roof materials should have a matte, non-reflective finish. The edges of
the roofing material should be finished similar to those seen historically.
(Waxahachie, TX.)
(6) All development is defined by the base, middle and roof elements with
particular attention to the front façade as this is the section that defines the
character of the streetscape for the DTH. See Figure 6-4.
Introduced in the US in the late 19th
century. "Tin roofs were often kept
well-painted in red or green to imitate
the green patina of cooper.
Unfortunately.Few of these roofs
remain intact today." (Grapevine,TX.)

compatible with the existing residential structure. Adherence to these material
standards are encouraged where appropriate and/or possible.
b. Additions shall not be constructed on a primary or character defining
elevation.
c. Additions shall be differentiated but compatible, so that the new work does
not appear to be part of the historic building; the character of the historic
resource should be identifiable after the new addition is constructed.

functional and decorative features--that are important in defining the overall
historic character of the building such as doors, fanlights, sidelights, pilaster,
entablatures, columns,balustrades, and stairs.
e. Removing or radically changing entrances and porches which are important in
defining the overall historic character of the building s that, as a result, the
character is diminished.
DESIGN TIPS
Encourage the retention of original architectural elements:
• Wood Windows
• Wood Doors
• Columns
• Chimneys
• Porches
• Trim
