Staff Comments
Police Chief Henderson addressed Council stating every year the Police Department is required to submit data
from traffic stops completed in the City. For transparency purposes, the City utilizes an outside company,
Justice Research Consultants, to take the data and review it. The law stipulates what must be collected from
the traffic stops,which include: gender,race,whether the race is known before the stop is made,ethnicity,the
reason for the stop, if a search was conducted, if the search was consensual, if contraband is located, type of
contraband, the probable cause, if an arrest was made, the basis for the arrest made, and if force was used on
a traffic stop.The Wylie Police Department has had zero use of force related to traffic stops.Henderson added
that every officer is in compliance with the required de-escalation training. The police department provides
each officer with body cameras which must be turned on every time contact is made with an individual, and
the videos are randomly reviewed by staff. Henderson reported the police department is required by law to
have an outline for a complaint process. When a complaint is received it is routed through the Office of
Professional Standards, which handles complaints that are generated both internally or externally. The
complaint process information can be found on the police department's website.
Henderson stated in 2020 8,493 traffic stops were conducted by Wylie Police Department. Out of the 8,493
stops, 82% were issued warnings and 13% were issued citations, 80+% in each race category received
warnings, and there were 218 arrests made.
Mayor pro tem Forrester and Mayor Porter commended the Police Department.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayorpro tem Forrester,seconded by Councilman Wallis,to approve Consent Agenda
Item D as presented. A vote was taken and motion passed 7-0.
1. Hold a Public Hearing to consider, and act upon, amending Zoning Ordinance (2006-04), Article
5, as it relates to permanent, accessory, and temporary uses for Food Trucks and Farmers
Markets.(ZC 2021-06).
Staff Comments
Planning Manager Haskins addressed Council stating locally sourced foods and mobile prepared food vendors
have gained in both popularity and acceptance.A survey conducted during the update to the Parks Master Plan
identified interest from the community in allowing Food Truck Parks and Farmers Markets as both permanent
and temporary uses. Staff held a work session with the Planning and Zoning Commission and based on the
comments received from the Commission, staff recommendations to the Zoning Ordinance amendment
include: allow permanent, stand-alone Food Truck Parks and Farmers Markets with the approval of a Special
Use Permit in most commercial areas, add food vendors/Farmers Market style sales to the Accessory Outside
Sales use to allow these uses to be added to existing commercial facilities on a permanent basis,amending and
updating Section 5.5 Temporary Uses to adjust for the addition of Food Trucks and Farmers Markets and
clarify and amend the number of allowed days per calendar year per use.In total,these amendments will allow
for Food Truck Parks and Farmers Markets in the City on a more permanent basis.Haskins reported after some
discussion regarding the types of permanent uses would be allowed and a motion to clarify the types of
permanent utilities required on-site, the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval.
Council Comments
Councilwoman Arrington asked what the definition of a Farmers Market is; does it include goods, or is it
strictly produce and food. Haskins replied produce and food source,not homemade items as there is a separate
zoning use for arts and festivals type of items. Mayor pro tem Forrester expressed concerns with the definition
as written which includes arts and crafts products if the venue is specific to food trucks, and recommended
refining the definition.

Public Hearing
Mayor Porter opened the public hearing on Item 1 at 7:18 p.m. asking anyone present wishing to address
Council to come forward.
Janet Smith, representing the Borough, addressed Council stating arts and crafts vendors are allowed at other
local Farmers Markets,and expressed they would not like to discourage the unique items. Smith stated holding
the Farmers Market and events in downtown Wylie has drawn shoppers to downtown Wylie. Smith expressed
concerns with the added requirements proposed this evening as many of them have a cost associated for the
event holders.
Mayor Porter closed the public hearing at 7:23 p.m.
Council Comments
Mayor Porter asked the reasoning behind the additional regulations such as paving, restrooms, and water and
if they are prohibitive. Haskins showed an example of The Picnic in Austin, Texas as something similar and
stated temporary use has very minimal restrictions; however,a more permanent use has additional regulations
which makes it a safer environment. Mayor pro tern Forrester asked the land owners thoughts as keeping it as
a long-term use. Smith replied the landowner has plans to build a building in the future so they would prefer
keeping the improvements minimal. Porter asked Ms. Smith what is causing the concern with the 90 day
temporary use permit(TUP). Smith replied the TUP works for the weekend event,but they have vendors that
want to sell during the week. Smith stated putting in electrical would be a high cost and the land owner would
not be okay with the improvements because of future plans. Smith asked why the improvements have to be
permanent,and not temporary like they have been.Porter replied that the concern is allowing it on a permanent
basis, without some of the regulations, could have potential safety issues with any future areas that are
operating similarly. Porter asked if they want to stay with less regulations, what is the negative impact to
obtaining temporary permits. Smith replied the negative impact is they cannot have a consecutive 90 days;
they have to wait a certain amount of time before they can reapply for another 90 days. Forrester asked if the 111
90 days is only for weekends or is it 90 days consecutively. Haskins replied staff has allowed only weekends
but felt the intent was 90 consecutive days so staff would like to change to 90 consecutive days. Forrester
confirmed in one year the event holder can choose 90 total days or 90 days consecutively. Haskins replied
right now the event holder can choose and staff currently asks for a calendar with the dates; however, staff is
proposing to only allow for 90 consecutive days and not allow the choosing of the 90 days over the year.
Councilman Mize confirmed what is being proposed would make the event holder have to use the TUP for 90
consecutive days. Haskins replied as of right now, under the current ordinance, the event holder can choose
90 consecutive days;however,staff is proposing changing that to 90 consecutive days. Mize asked Ms. Smith
what is her preference. Smith replied she is concerned with the consecutive days because you cannot reapply
for another 90 consecutive days. Councilwoman Arrington asked what is the downside to allowing the event
holder to reapply for another 90 days during the calendar year if staying under TUP. Haskins replied as long
as they meet the criteria in the TUP,which is much less stringent than permanent use, the City has to allow it
and in theory it becomes a permanent use under temporary conditions. Councilman Wallis asked if the City
could tighten the TUP so they can still apply for the 90 days,and then apply for a consecutive 90 days,instead
of having to obtain the permanent use. Haskins replied the language could be difficult but could look into it,
but added a TUP is intended to be temporary and not continued.Wallis asked if there is a way to give the event
holder the option to do every weekend and pick their days. Haskins replied that change could be made to the
proposed wording.Forrester stated the City dealt with this a few years back and asked Assistant City Manager
011ie if she has any additional information. 011ie replied if Council is looking to do more than 90 days, the
wording could be to allow a one time extension of 30, 60, or 90 days during the calendar year, and allow the
applicant to choose their days. Porter asked for Haskins thoughts on the wording with the extension. Haskins
replied allowing the event holder to pick and choose is not a bad thing. Forrester asked about the possibility
of another 90 days extension and expressed concerns with the permanence of the request in a temporary nature.
Haskins replied if the City has a TUP operating under a more permanent use under temporary regulations, it
could create an unfair situation with local businesses. Councilman Duke asked if the City does any policing
with the TUP issued. Building Official McCullough replied yes before the TUP is issued inspections are
Minutes March 23,2021

completed by various departments; however, during the 90-day period there are no other inspections done,
only the first-time inspection. Wallis asked how often a permanent business is inspected. McCullough replied
they are inspected before a CO is issued and the fire department does an annual inspection for maintenance.
Wallis asked if we are more lenient on a food truck extended throughout the year than we are other permanent
businesses. McCullough replied Collin County does annual inspections of restaurants,and a TUP would have
a one-time inspection when the permit is issued. Holsted clarified we do require more stringent uses for
permanent uses and asked at what point does a TUP become a permanent use and have to meet the same
regulations. Porter asked for feedback on similar locations near us and what their requirements include.
Haskins replied the permanent use regulations are very similar and what is presented is what staff felt was best
for Wylie based on other cities ordinances. Porter asked if they have similar restrictions on TUP. Haskins
replied they do. Arrington stated based on the comments and feedback she is more concerned that if the event
holder gets to pick their days for the whole year; that is creating a permanent use. Forrester stated the food
truck and farmers market is a great idea to bring livelihood and business to downtown; however, he agrees
with Arrington and stated if a TUP is issued for the purpose of testing the waters, that is a great idea, but to
stretch the TUP out too far, it becomes more of a permanent use and can create confusion of local business
owners.
Porter asked for feedback from the Council. Mize stated the idea of food trucks and a farmer's market is an
excellent idea for the community and stated he supports the changes in the ordinance as written to create
something permanent,but have to balance with temporary applicants and lean towards 011ies recommendation
of allowing 90 consecutive days plus 90 non-consecutive days extension of a TUP, or a flat 180 non-
consecutive days. Forrester stated he agreed with the proposed changes but not sure about 180 days being
temporary and would like to see 90 consecutive days plus 90 non-consecutive or consecutive.Arrington stated
she recommended 90 consecutive days plus 90 consecutive days. Strang stated he liked the idea of the
permanent permit, and recommended 90-110 day non-consecutive for the TUP.Duke stated he recommended
90 days plus 60 non-consecutive days extension,but does not want a TUP operating for half the year and there
has to be a clear line between temporary and permanent use.Wallis recommended 90 consecutive days plus a
30 consecutive day extension. Arrington stated she agreed with Wallis. Porter stated there has to be a balance
between temporary and permanent use.
The consensus of Council was they liked the standards proposed for the permanent use. Haskins asked for
clarification regarding arts and crafts being included in the definition.Mize,Forrester,Duke,Strang,and Porter
stated they would like to include arts and crafts in the definition. Forrester asked what the current balance of
arts and crafts to food vendors is. Smith replied currently there is 70% food and 30% arts, crafts, and other.
Arrington and Wallis stated they would like to remove arts and crafts from the definition.

2. Hold a Public Hearing to consider,and act upon,amending Zoning Ordinance(2006-04),Sections
5.1 Land Use Charts and 5.2 Listed Uses,as they relate to requiring Special Use Permits for certain
uses currently allowed by right(ZC 2021-05).
Staff Comments
Planning Manager Haskins addressed Council stating Planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission
held a joint work session to discuss recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance related to requiring Special
Use Permits (SUPs) for some uses currently allowed by right. After a staff presentation and some discussion,
the Commission directed staff to draft a Zoning Ordinance amendment. The recommended changes relate to:
commercial greenhouse/nursery; theater; on-site dry cleaning; motor vehicle fueling station; restaurant with
drive in; vehicle sales; and contractor's maintenance yard. Haskins reported the Commission voted 6-0 to
recommend approval.
Staff Comments
Mayor Porter stated these changes do not prevent these types of businesses from coming into the City; it
requires a SUP which allows Council to look at different factors and those listed in the Zoning Ordinance to
make sure it is the right fit on the specific property for the business and the best thing for the community based
on the guidelines provided.

Staff Comments
Planning Manager Haskins addressed Council stating the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff held a
work session to discuss recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance related to massage establishments.
After a presentation from staff and discussion, the Commission directed staff to draft a Zoning Ordinance
amendment.Those amendments are summarized in the agenda packet.The recommended changes for massage
establishments moves the use category from a sexually oriented business to a personal service use. The
definition is more in line with the State, which defines a massage establishment as a health care service. By
definition a massage establishment can only be staffed by state licensed masseuse. This use includes sports
therapy massage and day-spas,as long as the appropriate state licenses are held.Any establishment that offers
massage by a non-licensed masseuse would not be allowed. Haskins reported after some discussion and
clarification that unlicensed massage is not an allowed use,the Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval.

4. Consider,and act upon,a Final Plat for The Waters Addition,being a replat of Copeville RV Park
and Tracts 86 and 110 of the Drury Anglin Survey,to create four lots on 19.273 acres for an RV
Park development. Property generally located on CR 546 3700' west of North State Highway 78,
Nevada,in the City of Wylie's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction.
Staff Comments
Planning Manager Haskins addressed Council stating the applicant has submitted a Final Plat for The Waters
Addition. The plat consists of four irregular lots on 19.273 acres located outside of the City limits within the
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The purpose of the plat is for the development of a Tiny Home Park. The
irregular configuration and splitting of the development into four lots are due to the applicant's desire to
connect small onsite sewage facilities(OSFF)to each lot that each treat less than 5,000 gallons of wastewater
per day. Haskins stated limiting the daily wastewater capacity on each lot allows Collin County the authority
to review and approve the OSFFs.The property could be platted as one regular lot and one large OSSF facility
could be used to provide wastewater service to the entire development; however, the volume of wastewater
would exceed 5,000 gallons per day.The increased volume would require a review and Domestic Wastewater
permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The applicant has requested for the
' allowance of the four irregular lots with four separate OSFFs due to TCEQ's requirements and review process
being more involved and lengthier than Collin County's.
Haskins stated staff has concerns over the allowance of the irregular lots.The irregular lots do not leave many
options for possible future development and there are cross access issues if any lot changes ownership,
particularly for the western portions of lots 1, 2, and 4. Section 3.6.0 of the Subdivision Regulations grants
the City the authority to disapprove any lot which, in its sole opinion, will not be suitable or desirable for the
purpose intended. In general, triangular, severely elongated or tapered, "flag" or "panhandle" lots shall be
avoided. Haskins reported after some discussion and discussion with the applicant over the various
development options,the Commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval.
Council Comments
Mayor pro tem Forester asked if it meets the Counties technical requirements. Haskins responded that the
County said it does meet their requirements and they defer to the City for lot shape. Mayor Porter asked if the
City has control over the lot shape. Haskins replied yes.
Applicant Comments
Marshall Warren, owner of The Waters,gave a brief overview of the community. Warren stated they will not
allow rental properties and the homes will be owner occupied.
Councilwoman Arrington asked if the development will only consist of tiny homes or will it also include RVs.
Haskins stated staff included RVs in the verbiage because it is currently an RV park.

an RV Park development. Property generally located on CR 546 3700 feet west of North State Highway 78,
Nevada, in the City of Wylie's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction. Motion died for the lack of a second.
Councilman Wallis asked if there is a way to make a delineation of what it will be (tiny homes), instead of
what it currently is (RV park). Haskins reported staff left RV park in because that is what it currently is, but
staff could remove the wording. Haskins reported the City has no control over the development in the ETJ.
Mr.Warren replied he guarantees he will build a first-class development.
Councilwoman Arrington stated she forgot that this is an ETJ property that is being discussed and asked what
the City can regulate on this development. Haskins replied the shape of the lot for this particular development.
