meeting in order to address concerns such as fencing,drainage,traffic,tree preservation,and general PD innovation.
July 27,2021 Wylie City Council Minutes Page 12
To address the concerns,the applicant has proposed revisions to the PD Conditions including:reduce the maximum
lot coverage from 75% to 50%, save a minimum of 27 of the 32 Live Oak trees along the eastern boundary and
several large trees on the front of the existing property,provide an easement for a deceleration lane, increase garage
sizes from 400 sq. ft. to the minimum required by the Zoning Ordinance of 500 sq. ft., and require an eight foot
fence along the eastern boundary and for the property owner to work with existing homeowners to avoid `double
fencing.'

coordinate with each property owner to try to avoid double fencing. Councilman Williams asked based on the
previous drainage concerns, was anything changed. Haskins replied that nothing was changed as after the
Engineering review, the proposed drainage plans should dramatically improve the current drainage issue. Mayor
pro tern Forrester asked about potential pooling or puddling of water behind the homes on the eastern side. Haskins
replied, at this time they believe the proposed drainage plans should prevent that but if it becomes a problem, staff
' will work with the Developer.

4. Hold a Public Hearing, consider, and act upon, a request for a change of zoning from Agricultural
' (AG/30) to Planned Development (PD), to allow for a mixed-use community on 47.29 acres generally
located at 2301 FM 1378. (ZC2021-15)
Staff Comments
Planning Manager Haskins addressed Council stating the applicant is requesting to rezone 47.29 acres located at
2301 FM 1378. The requested rezoning to a Planned Development(PD) is to allow for a mixed-use community,
consisting of three subdistricts containing a mix of commercial, residential, and open space uses. The commercial
subdistrict measures 4.2 acres with frontage along Country Club Road. This district is planned for commercial
structures with permitted uses to generally comply with the Community Retail (CR) with the addition of the
following uses allowed by-right: financial institution with drive-thru, restaurant with drive-thru, and dry cleaners.
Haskins stated the multifamily subdistrict contains about 187 townhome units and 61 single family rental units on
25.2 acres with a density of 11 dwelling units per gross acre. The open space subdistrict includes an open space
dedication to the City of 17.8 acres for a City park.This area includes a four-acre pond that will be dedicated to the
City after water impoundment concerns are resolved. The developer has proposed splitting the legal costs of
resolving impoundment with the City,estimating the City's costs to be capped at approximately $120,000. Should
zoning be approved, a separate agreement regarding these legal costs will be presented to City Council for
consideration prior to preliminary plat approval. Haskins reported the conclusion of the Traffic Impact Analysis
(TIA) found that the proposed development does not have a disproportionate effect on the existing vehicle traffic
operations.While the TIA did not find a southbound deceleration lane necessary,a City Engineering review believes
that the inclusion of the deceleration lane is in the interest of the City. The student impact analysis conducted by
the applicant concluded that approximately 55 students would be added to the school district upon completion of
the project. The ISD has not provided input on the effect of this increase. Haskins reported sixteen notifications
were mailed to property owners with no responses received for or against from within City limits; however, three
responses were received from the ETJ, two responses were received from outside of the ETJ, and three responses
were received without a given address. After some discussion, including comments from citizens and neighboring
property owners regarding traffic, drainage, density, screening, and the effect on the school district, the
Commissioners voted 5-2 to recommend approval with the conditions that a fence be built along the north side of
the park, a maximum of 33 percent of the townhomes allowed to be three story, and the car wash and financial
institution,alternative be removed as by-right uses. Haskins stated those changes have been made by the applicant
in the presented PD.

July 27,2021 Wylie City Council Minutes Page 18

from Proposition B could be utilized towards it. Hoisted stated he proposed adding the verbiage "developing,
engineering, constructing, reconstructing, improving, repairing, extending, expanding and enhancing streets,
thoroughfares, alleys and sidewalks, including necessary and related storm drainage facilities and improvements,
utility relocations and the acquisition of any needed land and rights-of-way therefor"to Proposition C.

replacing all of the old pipes with one single access pipe.
Public Works Director Porter answered questions from Council.

WS4. Discuss the boundaries of the Downtown Historic District.
Assistant City Manager 011ie addressed Council stating, at the request of Council,staff is proposing to expand the
borders of the Downtown Historic District in two specific areas which include:the southwest corner of SH 78 and
Brown Street and the northside of Brown Street along Keefer. The northside of Brown Street is currently zoned
Downtown Historic District for residential only and staff is proposing to allow commercial uses in existing
structures similar to other areas of the Downtown Historic District. The southwest corner of SH 78 and Brown
Street is currently zoned Corridor Commercial; therefore, if the Downtown Historic District was expanded to
include this area, it would require all new development in this area to conform to the Downtown Historic District
development standards. 011ie stated staff's thoughts would be any future development in this area would be a
Planned Development which would allow for other uses not typical to the heart of the Downtown District but does
make sense for the transition development which could have a more modern look that transitions to downtown
Wylie and contains walkability.
WEDC Executive Director Greiner addressed Council stating his only concern would be if it was too overly
restrictive.
Blake Herpeche addressed Council,speaking in favor of removing the residential overlay and allowing commercial
uses on the northside of Brown Street along Keefer.
Direction from Council was to allow the properties north of Brown Street along Keefer to allow both residential
and commercial uses,and the property at SH 78 and Brown Street integrated in the Downtown Historic District but
not overly burdensome for future development.
