Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission members on Oct. 21 voted unanimously to approve the consent minutes and four site‑plan or zoning matters: an amenity center in the Ladera development, a bank with a two‑lane drive‑through on South State Highway 78, an office/warehouse facility at 32 Steel Road, a special‑use permit to allow minor automobile repair on North State Highway 78, and an amendment to the Woodlake Village planned development to permit modified light‑industrial flex space.

The approvals included: a site plan for an amenity center on 0.83 acres at 2405 Camino Way in the Ladera development; a site plan to demolish an existing restaurant and build a P & C Bank with a two‑lane drive‑through on 0.66 acres at 409 S. State Highway 78; a site plan for an 18,000‑square‑foot office/warehouse for a plumbing business on 2.91 acres at 32 Steel Road; a recommendation to city council to allow an automobile minor‑repair use by special‑use permit on 1 acre at 990 N. State Highway 78; and a recommendation to city council to amend Planned Development PD‑2022‑38 to allow modified light‑industrial flex space on 4.737 acres at 1820 N. State Highway 78 (Lot 6, Block A of Woodlake Village).

Why it matters: the items change how specific parcels along State Highway 78 and several commercial and industrial pads in Wylie may be used, adding neighborhood amenities, new banking services, light industrial/flex commercial space, and a permitted minor auto‑repair use subject to the city’s SUP conditions. Several approvals included landscaping, parking and drainage conditions intended to limit off‑site impacts.

Ladera amenity center (2405 Camino Way)
Staff presented a site plan for a single‑lot amenity center previously shown in the 2024 plan development for Ladera. The facility will include a swimming pool, pickleball courts with a combination of iron‑rod and mesh fencing, multiple pedestrian entrances, and a 5‑to‑6‑foot sidewalk. Exterior materials noted in staff drawings include stone veneer, cast stone and fiber‑cement board. The commission approved the site plan 4‑0.

Bank and drive‑through (409 S. State Highway 78)
The commission approved a site plan for a bank that will demolish the existing Taco Delight and build a new P & C Bank with a two‑lane drive‑through. The plan shows 15 parking spaces, two designated ADA spaces, and a drive lane at the building’s rear. Staff noted constraints for front‑yard landscaping because the site drains toward the street, and said the applicant will add a drainage pipe to connect into the existing inlet as an improvement. Materials shown on elevations include fiber‑cement sandstone, cedar‑textured material and metal panels. The commission voted 4‑0 to approve the site plan.

Office/warehouse at 32 Steel Road (plumbing business)
Staff presented a site plan for an 18,000‑square‑foot office/warehouse for a plumbing company on 2.91 acres. The plan includes 27 parking spaces (two ADA), a looping fire lane, a fenced yard on the east side for stacked PVC pipe storage, and a covered loading canopy. Staff told commissioners the engineering department had reported the project deal “might not move forward,” but the site plan itself meets requirements. Staff also noted that approved site plans are effective for two years; if a different applicant files a new site plan it would supersede the approved plan. The commission approved the site plan 4‑0.

Special‑use permit: Integrity First Auto (990 N. State Highway 78)
The commission voted 4‑0 to recommend the city council approve a special‑use permit to allow a minor automobile‑repair use on a one‑acre property at 990 N. State Highway 78. The application includes a site plan showing 17 parking spaces (one ADA) and screening so garage bays may face the highway. Applicant representative Tyler Adams described the proposed business as an upgraded, boutique‑style independent auto shop and said “they've decided to invest more in the city of Wylie.” Staff noted the applicant will not perform outdoor repairs and will not leave inoperable vehicles outdoors overnight under the city’s definition of “minor repair.” Staff mailed eight notices and reported no responses from surrounding property owners.

Planned development amendment: Woodlake Village (1820 N. State Highway 78)
The commission recommended approval, 4‑0, of an amendment to PD‑2022‑38 to permit modified light‑industrial development on Lot 6, Block A of Woodlake Village. The amendment would allow a flex‑space/office‑warehouse configuration rather than the larger warehouse/distribution building originally shown; staff said the proposal seeks a parking ratio of one space per 400 square feet and shows 222 parking spaces with seven ADA spaces in the conceptual plan. Staff mailed notices to 14 property owners and received one written comment in favor from Fuel City. Carl Fleming, president of Urban Garages, described the developer’s concept as “geared more towards professional businesses,” and said the product is intended to provide flexible, smaller‑scale commercial spaces rather than heavy industrial uses.

Discussion and conditions
Commissioners and staff questioned site constraints — visibility, drainage and cross‑access — on several items. For the bank site, staff said the applicant will improve drainage by adding a pipe to the front inlet, and noted minor engineering adjustments may be approved by staff under the city’s zoning rules without coming back to the commission. For the office/warehouse site staff advised commissioners the site plan remains approvable even if the current deal does not close; site plans run two years and a later site plan could supersede this approval. For the auto‑repair SUP, the applicant and staff emphasized that the use is limited to the city’s definition of “minor” repairs and that outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles is not permitted in the commercial corridor without different zoning.
