ITEM ONE IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER AND ACT UPON THE WRITING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR A CHANGE IN ZONING FROM PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

2022-51 PD 2022-51 TO COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR CC ON 2.02 ACRES TO ALLOW FOR COMPATIBLE RETAIL USES.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 703 NORTH HIGHWAY 78.

ZONING CASE IS 2026-01, MR. HASKINS. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. SO IF YOU REMEMBER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO A THE APPLICANT, THE PROPERTY OWNER HERE ASKED FOR A SUP TO DO THE LANDSCAPE BUSINESS. THIS PROPERTY IS AT 703 NORTH HIGHWAY 78.

THAT'S BASICALLY THE SOUTH EAST. YEAH. SOUTHEAST CORNER OF BROWN.

AND IN 78 THAT REQUEST WAS ULTIMATELY DENIED BY COUNCIL.

AND SO WHAT THE APPLICANT IS ASKING NOW IS JUST TO ZONE THAT PROPERTY COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR.

WHAT THAT'LL DO IS THAT'LL STRIP THE PD FROM THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM, YOU KNOW, IT WAS PUT INTO PLACE TO ALLOW FOR THE DISTILLERY AND THE EVENT CENTER THAT WAS PLANNED ON GOING THERE.

BUT BECAUSE THAT THE WAY THE PD WAS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD.

THAT'S THE ONLY TWO USES THAT ARE ALLOWED ON THERE.

IN ORDER FOR THE THE PROPERTY TO BE USED AS ALL THE SURROUNDING OTHER SURROUNDING PROPERTY IS THEY'RE JUST ASKING FOR STRAIGHT ZONING.

[00:10:01]

THE THE, THE MASTER LAND USE PLAN DOES ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ZONING.

ALL THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IS STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ZONING.

AND WE DID SEND OUT 25 NOTIFICATIONS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING FOR OR AGAINST IN THE PNC COMMISSION DID VOTE SIX ZERO TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL. THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY.

NOT SEEING ANY QUICK QUESTIONS. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING THIS EVENING.

SO WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL MOVE FORWARD TO THE PUBLIC HEARING IN CASE THERE IS ANYONE PRESENT.

SO PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT. I WILL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS PRESENT AND WISHES TO ADDRESS, COUNCIL WOULD ASK THAT YOU STEP FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

MISS STORM, PLEASE LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT NO ONE HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNSEL, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THIS EVENING FOR MR. HASKINS OR THE APPLICANT ON THIS ZONING REQUEST? MAYOR PRO TEM. THANKS, MAYOR. SO RIGHT NOW, IS PD, RIGHT? YES, SIR. OKAY. AND THEN NOW IT'S GOING TO STRAIGHT COMMERCIAL ZONING.

IF APPROVED, THAT IS THE REQUEST. YES, SIR. IS THE INTENT TO GET THE PROPERTY BIGGER IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT? ARE THEY IS THE INTENT FOR THEM TO EXTEND ON THIS PROPERTY THE CURRENTLY, THE WAY IT IS AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE INTENT THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO THE APPLICANT WAS JUST TO BE ABLE TO MARKET THE PROPERTY WITHOUT THE RESTRICTIONS OF ONLY HAVING AN EVENT CENTER OR DISTILLERY BE THE ALLOWED USE. SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT FOR THE INITIAL USE THAT THEY BROUGHT IN FRONT OF US.

THE LANDSCAPE BUSINESS ISN'T ALLOWED IN COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO. OKAY.

BUT THERE'S NOTHING TO REACH TO RESTRICT THEM FROM USING THE PROPERTY AS AN OFFICE AND PARKING ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THEIR THEIR BUSINESS.

AM I WRONG? IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS WHAT'S ALLOWED IN THE REST OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER.

COULD BE WHATEVER USE IS ALLOWED. THE LARGE CORRIDOR, LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES WILL NOT BE PROHIBITED FROM BEING FROM BEING PARKED IN THAT FRONT PARKING LOT. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THEY WILL, BECAUSE THAT SORT OF THING ISN'T ALLOWED IF YOU CAN SEE IT FROM A PUBLIC STREET.

OKAY. I MEAN, THERE WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY, I MEAN, THERE IF THEY HAVE THE CORRECT LOADING ZONES, AND THEY'RE PUT IN THE RIGHT SPOT AND THEY FOLLOW THE REST OF THE ORDINANCE.

WHOEVER APPLIES FOR A CO, THEY'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SITE PLAN PROCESS WITH THE P AND Z COMMISSION.

OKAY. SO I MEAN TO SAY NOT TO SAY THAT THERE WOULD NEVER BE LARGER, YOU KNOW, LIKE A BOX TRUCK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

COULD POSSIBLY BE IN THERE IF THAT WAS PART OF THE BUSINESS.

BUT THE INTENT IS TO KEEP THE PROPERTY OR SELL THE PROPERTY FOR THE NEW OWNER.

YOU'D HAVE TO ASK THE PROPERTY OWNER, I DON'T KNOW. ARE THEY HERE? YES, SIR.

HOWDY. GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY AGAIN. IT'S MICHAEL THOMAS FOR 007 TRAVIS STREET.

I GUESS TO ADDRESS YOUR FIRST QUESTION, WE HAVE NO INTENT TO UTILIZE IT WITH OUR LANDSCAPING BUSINESS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. BEFORE WE DIDN'T GET THE SUP SO NOW WE ARE TRYING TO SELL OR LEASE THE ASSET TO A RETAIL USER.

WE PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO BE BENDING DOWN, BUT I WAS GOING TO SAY, IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN KIND OF ANGLE IT UP AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR.

THANK YOU. WE THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR A YEAR AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN INTERESTED HAVE BEEN ANYTHING FROM PERSONAL FITNESS TO DOGGIE DAYCARES TO OTHER SIMILAR RETAIL USES.

WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE INTERESTED IN IT. IF WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE SUP TO UTILIZE IT AS KIND OF A CONTRACTOR YARD OR QUASI CONTRACTOR YARD, OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS DENIED THAT APP. SO WE'RE NOW PURSUING EITHER A SALE OR A LEASE TO A RETAIL USER THAT WOULD CONFORM TO THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR DISTRICT.

BUT YEAH, NO INTENT TO UTILIZE THE SPACE FOR THE LANDSCAPE BUSINESS.

ONE OF THE WHY I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS IS THAT THE CITY INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT ON BRINGING THAT TYPE OF BUSINESS TO THE CITY, CREATING THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT TO THE CITY.

AND SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO SCRAP ALL THE THOUGHT PROCESSES THAT WE'VE HAD.

AND CREATE SOMETHING NEW NOW BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING.

AND SO OUR EDC INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND INVESTMENT IN IT TOO.

SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT HAS VALUE TO THE CITY.

YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I WOULD SAY THE INVESTORS IN THE BUSINESS ALSO PUT A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME INTO IT, NOT DIMINISHING AT ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT THE CITY PUT INTO IT.

[00:15:04]

WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT. BUT THANK YOU. IT'S NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.

YEAH. THANKS. OKAY. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. HASKINS. JUST TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND. YES, SIR.

THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES SOMETIMES.

SO I BELIEVE I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TIE BETWEEN THE SGP THAT WAS APPROVED FOR THIS AND THE USE THAT WE HAVE DOWNTOWN. OH, SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE HERMAN MARSHALL TASTING ROOM THAT'S DOWNTOWN.

YES, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THOSE ARE TWO TOTALLY SEPARATE ITEMS. OKAY, SO THE SUP FOR THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT.

IF IT WAS REMOVED FOR THE SUP OR HOWEVER IT'S PHRASED DOWNTOWN.

YES. YEAH. THEY WERE NOT TIED TOGETHER AT ALL.

OKAY. I WANTED TO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE SINCE WE LISTENED TO ALL OF THAT.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THAT IF WE REMOVED THIS, IT DIDN'T HAVE AN UNINTENDED.

OR MAYBE IT'S INTENDED. BUT. RIGHT. UNKNOWN TO COUNCIL IMPACT ON THE OTHER PORTION OF THE BUSINESS, IF THEY'RE STILL LINKED TOGETHER. SO YEAH. AND IF I MAY ADDRESS THE MAYOR PRO TEM THE VALUE FOR THE CITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IN THE APPLICANTS AWARE OF THIS, AND WE WILL MAKE ANY POTENTIAL BUYER AWARE OF IT, THAT THAT SITE, THE SITE ITSELF STILL NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK.

SO BEFORE IT'S EVER OPENED AS ANOTHER BUSINESS IT WILL, THERE WILL BE SOME DEFINITE IMPROVEMENTS BACK THERE.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE, THE LARGE PARKING LOT, THERE'S MORE THAN 12 SPACES IN A ROW.

SO THERE'LL BE LIKE SOME LANDSCAPE ISLANDS, YOU KNOW, AND THAT SORT OF THING THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PUT IN BEFORE A CO OR ANYTHING WOULD BE ISSUED. WELL THAT WAS, THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION WAS WITH THE CHANGE IN ZONING, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THAT MEANS THAT DAMAGE IN THE PARKING LOT, LACK OF LANDSCAPING THAT WAS GOING TO BE INCLUDED ON THE BACK END, THOSE THINGS WOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THE NEW USERS.

CORRECT. SINCE THERE'S A CHANGE IN ZONING. YES, SIR. OKAY.

THAT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW AS WELL. YES, SIR. OKAY.

COUNCIL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR EITHER THE APPLICANT OR MR. HASKINS ON THIS THIS EVENING? OKAY. WITH NONE INDICATED.

I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION COUNCILMAN STRAIN.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. THE ITEM IS PRESENTED. OKAY.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? COUNCILMAN HOOVER I SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE.

COUNCIL. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OKAY. THE MOTION DOES CARRY FIVE ZERO. APPRECIATE YOU ALL COMING BACK WITH A DIFFERENT PLAN AFTER LISTENING AND SPEAKING WITH US LAST TIME.

WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO THIS EVENING.

[2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2026-11, amending Wylie’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 2021-17, as amended, Appendix A (Comprehensive Fee Schedule), Article XI (Fire Department), Sections J, K, L, and M (Ambulance Service Fees); providing a savings/repealing clause, severability clause, penalty clause and an effective date; and providing for the publication of the caption hereof. ]

CHIEF BLYTHE, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. SO THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS IN RESPONSE TO SENATE BILL 16.

THAT WAS PASSED RECENTLY. AND I HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL WERE ABLE TO REVIEW THAT.

I'LL BE GLAD TO GO THROUGH THAT OR JUST KIND OF SUMMARIZE IT, WHICHEVER YOU WOULD LIKE.

IT'S ONLY A FEW SLIDES. WOULD YOU RATHER ME? DO YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH IT? MAYOR OR I, WE'RE, WE HAVE, WE'RE DOING WELL ON TIME THIS EVENING.

OKAY, SO I'LL HURRY. IT'S FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE ATTENDED THE MEETING OR MIGHT BE WATCHING IT ONLINE.

GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH THE SLIDES. OKAY. SO ON JANUARY 30TH, THIS PAST YEAR SENATE BILL 916 WAS ADOPTED.

AND IT'S IN REGARDS TO TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH I'M SORRY, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE AND THE LIMITS THAT THEY PUT ON HOW MUCH WE CAN INCREASE AMBULANCE SERVICE BILLINGS ANNUALLY. WHAT THAT SAYS IS, IS THAT THOSE EMS RATES CAN BE ADJUSTED ANNUALLY, AND THEY SET THE RATE BY EITHER THE MEDICARE AMBULANCE INFLATION FACTOR, OR 10% OF THE PRIOR YEAR'S RATE.
