PUBLIC HEARING
3. Hold a Public Hearing to consider and act upon a change in zoning from Single-Family Residential
(SF-8.5/17), Multifamily Residential (MF) and Neighborhood Services (NS) to Planned
Development (PD)District for Single-Family Residences,being a certain 66.8583 acre tract of land
situated in the D.W. Williams Survey,Abstract No. 980 and the Allen Atterberry Survey,Abstract
•
No. 23, City of Wylie, Collin County, Texas, being a part of a tract conveyed to JCM Properties,
L.P. according to the deed recorded in Volume 2233, Page 874 of the Deed Records of Collin
County, Texas, and all of two tracts conveyed to JCM Partners, L.P. according to the deed
recorded in County Clerk's File No. 96-0045039 of the Deed Records of Collin County, Texas,and
being all of the tract conveyed to Verna M. Poor according to the deed recorded in Volume 4409,
Page 2100 of the Deed Records of Collin County,Texas. (Zoning Case No.2002-01)
Mr. Claude Thompson, Planning Director addressed this item providing Council with a brief background on the
request. He stated that the subject property totals 66.8583 acres, and is currently zoned Multifamily Residential
(8.23 acres), Neighborhood Services Retail (3.38 acres) and Single-Family Residential for 8,500 square feet
minimum lot size. The requested rezoning will eliminate the Multifamily and Retail uses, and allow the entire
property to develop as Single-Family Detached Residences of 8,000 square foot lots. The entire property is
unplatted and undeveloped. A request to eliminate the Neighborhood Services use and relocate the Multifamily
use to the Elm Road frontage was denied by the City Council on January 22, 2002. With that decision, Council
expressed willingness to support residential lots somewhat smaller than the required 8,500 square feet as a possible
compromise for elimination of the potential for Multifamily uses as well as the Business uses on the property,as is
reflected by the subject request. The requested Conditions of the Planned Development District establishes certain
variances from the standard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. All other standard requirements of the SF-
8.5/17 District will be complied with.
Variances are as follows:
Existing Proposed
Minimum Lot Size 8,500 8,000
Minimum Lot Width 70 ft. 65 ft.
Minimum Side Yard 7 ft. 6 ft.
Side Yard Adjacent to Street 2511. 25 ft if key lot
15 ft for all others
Mr. Thompson reviewed the considerations including Comprehensive Plan recommendations for Country
Residential;Thoroughfare Plan recommendations for the future development of Elm Road and the compatibility of
the higher density/smaller lots for a major traffic corridor as opposed to the rural roadway envisioned to
accommodate the Country Residential classification; current proposal eliminates the potential for 123 apartments
and reduction of single-family lot size allows the possibility of 22 additional single-family detached dwellings;the
PD conditions require compliance with all regulations of the Single Family-8.5 District, with the exceptions of
reduction of minimum lot size and the minimum lot width and the PD Concept Plan reflect that alleys will be
provided throughout the development, except where proposed lots back to the floodplain on the northeast.
Approval of the PD and Concept Plan and Conditions of Development will constitute a waiver of the required
alleys for these locations. At the February 19, 2002 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission
voted to recommend approval of this zone change.
The Mayor then opened the Public Hearing and asked that anyone wishing to speak either in favor or opposition of
the zone change to please come forward, state their name and address for the record and limit their comments to
three minutes. With no response,the Mayor then closed the Public Hearing.
