REGULAR AGENDA
1. Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending regulations to Zoning
Ordinance No. 2008-47, Article 6, Section 6.3 Downtown Historic District (DTH) as it
relates to design guidelines and standards within the Downtown Historic District.ZC 2016-
07 (R. 011ie,Development Services Director)
Staff/Council Comments
Development Services Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the City Council has declared, as a
matter of ordinance, that the preservation, protection, and use of landmarks and historic districts is a
public necessity because they have a special character or a special historic, architectural, aesthetic, or
cultural interest and value and thus serve as visible reminders of the history and heritage of the City of
Wylie.
011ie explained that in early 2015, the Historic Review Commission (HRC) directed Staff to consider
amendments to the DTH ordinance to provide for more stringent guidelines within the Ordinance to
require more period specific design. Through the course of several work sessions, the HRC developed
such amendments that would better clarify the design guidelines for new development within the district.
This included defining contributing and non-contributing structures.
• Contributing structures would be those buildings built between the periods of significance (1890-
1940) and adds to the overall historic integrity and architectural quality of the district.
• Non-contributing structures are existing buildings within the district that do not contribute to the
historic character and usually constructed after the period of significance.
The current ordinance defines Substantial Renovations as alterations to the exterior of existing buildings
that change the placement or design of windows, doors or other exterior features of the building such as
coping or pilasters. The Historic Commission is recommending that the change of exterior paint also be
included as a substantial renovation. This would require HRC approval of any exterior color. In addition,
the recommendation is also to restrict any like color from being repeated on both sides of the street and
adjoining streets.
The ordinance was categorized by New Structures and Existing Structures for both commercial and
residential uses. A primary function of the ordinance is to distinguish between standards and guidelines.
Mayor Hogue stated that he was concerned with the number of changes proposed and had some
concerns regarding the changes. He stated he did not think the discussion and changes could be
completed during the meeting.
Councilwoman Culver stated that it was her understanding when the Council created the Historic Review
Commission, they would function on as "as needed" basis. She noted her concern was with the private
property owner having to jump through hoops just to re-paint their home. Councilwoman Culver asked
why the board has gotten to this point. 011ie reported that about a year prior, a request had come before

the commission asking to construct a new home/business which was allowed by right. The construction
was not going to carry a specific style or period of historic home. The Commission wanted to place
restrictions on the applicant, such as porch size and yard size. The ordinance in place at that time was
not that restrictive, however the commission wanted to make the ordinance more restrictive to give more
authority to the commission. Councilwoman Culver stated the home in question had no historical value.
She asked if the ordinance was created to protect "historic" homes. 011ie replied that was correct.
Councilwoman Culver stated she was not in favor of more restrictions and felt the Council should re-
evaluate the authority of the HRC and postpone any action until that time.
Public Hearing
Mayor Hogue opened the public hearing on Item #1 at 6:55 p.m., asking anyone present to
address Council to come forward.
Sandra Stone, residing in the Wylie Historic District, addressed Council stating that she lives in
the historic district. She explained her home was over 130 years old and wanted the restrictions
in place to protect her home. She was in favor of the proposed changes.
Mayor Hogue reminded Ms. Stone that many of the homes in the historic district were not
"historic"due to the fire that damaged many of the existing homes and required rebuilding.
Bob Heath, representing the Historical Society, stated he had been involved in historic
preservation for 40 years. He stated that he was in favor of the proposed changes to preserve
the historic heritage of Wylie.
No other citizens were present to address Council. Mayor Hogue closed the public hearing at
7:02 p.m.
Mayor pro tern Stephens stated he was delighted to hear from persons in the Historic District and hoped
that he would have the opportunity to hear from more residents in the district. He had concerns with
requiring a homeowner to come to the commissions for paint approval when the historic pallet was
available to choose from for color choices. Councilman Dahl stated he believed in property rights. He
stated better guidelines needed to be in place that would direct the commission in decisions made. He
stated, "We are not establishing another layer of restrictions but rather establishing guidelines to influence
behavior, in my opinion." Councilman Dahl suggested 'a work session with the Historic Review
Commission and perhaps Planning and Zoning to discuss reasonable guidelines.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor pro tern Stephens, seconded by Councilman Dahl to table
consideration of amending regulations to Zoning Ordinance No. 2008-47, Article 6, Section 6.3
Downtown Historic District (DTH) as it relates to design guidelines and standards within the
Downtown Historic District. ZC 2016-07; and to direct staff to establish a work session involving
the Historic Review Commission and if necessary, Planning and Zoning Commission and
provide detailed guidelines for Council to consider. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-
0.
