Vi. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 17-25 — Conditional Use Renewal — 6907 Seymour Highway:
Consider taking action on a Request for a conditional use renewal to
allow a contractor's yard in a Residential Mixed Use (RMU) zoning
district.
Applicant: Kerry Wylie, Properties N Motion LLC
Ms. Lynda Cannedy made a motion to approve. Mr. Jack Browne seconded.
Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case and stated Kerry Wylie owned a roll -off bin
business as well as rehabilitating manufactured homes located at 6907 Seymour Hwy.
Mr. Medellin stated Mr. Wylie had requested to extend his original Conditional Use
Permit -that was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission in September 2017 for
a contractor's yard at that location. The subject property is located in the western
portion of Wichita Falls on the edge of town and it falls on the city limits with the
northern portion of the property in Wichita Falls and the southern portion outside.
To the east and west of the subject property are Single Family uses with portions of the
subject lot outside of city limits used for manufactured home park.
Mr. Wylie's original request in 2017 was to use the entire portion of the lot inside city
limits as the contractor's yard. After conducting research the cost to meet the
developmental requirements, specifically the screening fencing, was not financially
feasible for Mr. Wylie. Due to research and further discussion with Mr. Wylie he would
Planning and Zoning 3 November 14, 2018
like to modify the area used as the contractor's yard. Mr. Medellin stated Mr. Wylie is
now requesting to use only ahalf-acre of the property that is inside city limits. Mr.
Medellin advised the commission the property is in the Residential Mixed Use (RMU)
district which does allow for a variety of uses from residential to commercial uses. Just
outside of the neighboring residential uses to the west lies a Light Industrial use.
Mr. Medellin stated in September 2017, 17 property owners were notified within the 200
ft. notification area. Of the responses received 2 were in favor and 10 opposed. -hose
opposed voiced concerns about the noise, appearance and maintenance of the
property. Mr. Medellin stated that upon meetings and conversations with Mr. Wylie
planning staff is recommending approval of the renewal as long as the following
conditions are met:
1. The property shall have a fence or other approved screening (6 ft. minimum)
installed and maintained to obscure the view of the outdoor storage from any
adjacent land or right-of-way. Owner to provide example of fence or screening
material.
2. Gates, normally used for access to the contractor's yard 1 outdoor storage yards,
are not required to provide a solid screen; the outdoor storage yard immediately
behind and perpendicular to such gate, to a distance of at least 30 feet, shall be
kept clear of all storage materials. Unscreened gates shall be no wider than 20
feet;
3. Areas around or minder outdoor storage materials or buildings shall be kept free
and clear of accumulations of grass, weeds, brush or other uncultivated
vegetation.
4. Outdoor storage must be on an improved surface, gravel shall be considered for
the outdoor storage in a contractor's yard.
5. Site improvements subject to site plan review.
Mr. Martin asked if the applicant was in the audience and wished to speak on the case.
Mr. Kerry Wylie, 6907 Seymour Hwy, stated he needed the land for his business and
the fence would cost $25,000.00 and that was not something he could afford.
Mr. Martin asked if there was anyone else that wished to speak. With no response Mr.
Martin closed the case to public discussion and opened to the commission.
Commissioner Graham asked, Mr. Wylie had a year to put up fencing with original
approval correct? Then Mr. Graham stated that was not fair to homeowners for Mr.
Wylie to not have honored that agreement. Ms. Cannedy asked if the fence
requirement was made with the original conditional use and not ever complied with. Mr.
Martin stated that was correct and the reason for the renewal request. Mr. Graham
asked questions about the acreage that Mr. Wylie wanted to use and if he decided to
use more what would prevent that. Mr. Medellin stated if he decided to use more land
than what was approved in this conditional use nothing would prevent that and that it
would be up to code to enforce. Mr. Martin asked if there was any other discussion. A
Commissioner asked what would happen if he decided to grow in the future. Mr.
Medellin stated he would need to meet our standards and comply with the development
conditions outlined in the report. Ms. Gagne stated that operating the contractor's yard
Planning and Zoning 4 November 14, 2018
was contingent upon the requirements of the conditional use the commission approved
last year being met. Staff noted the use of land for a contractor's yard is only permitted
in the RMU Zoning District with an approved conditional use from the Planning &
Zoning Commission. Mr. Graham asked if he had been operating the contractor's yard
during this last year without these conditions being met this last year. Ms. Gagne
advised yes, he had continued operating -the contractor's yard without meeting the
conditions of approval.
Mr. Martin called for a vote. The Commission voted 4 in favor and 4 opposed. With 5
affirmative votes needed to pass, the motion failed. Mr. Martin stated Mr. Wylie could
submit an appeal to the city council within 10 days of this Planning & Zoning
Commission determination. The appeal application could be found in the planning
office and would require $100 fee when the application was submitted.

S. Case C 18-35 — 5432 Southwest Parkway:
Request for a conditional use to allow for self-storage/mini-
warehouse facility in a Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district.
Applicant: Dennis Probst, of Corlett, Probst & Boyd, PLLC
Ms. Lynda Cannedy made a motion to approve. Mr. Blake Haney seconded.
Mr. Medellin presented the case and stated staff received plans for the construction of
a self-storage/mini warehouse for 5432 Southwest Parkway and noticed the subject
property had split zoning. A portion of the property was in Limited Commercial (LC)
district with the other portion in General Commercial (GC) district. In General
Commercial (GC) warehouse/storage facilities are allowed outright with approved site
plans. In Limited Commercial (LC) the proposed use is subject to review and approval
by the commission. The subject property is located near the intersection of Barnett and
Southwest Parkway directly north of Memorial Stadium. The subject property was
currently undeveloped. The plans show a two phase development. The first phase
consists of constructing a 6700 sq. ft. building and seven separate buildings including
an office and indoor/outdoor storage units as well as climate controlled and non -climate
controlled storage units ranging in size from 5 ft. X 5 ft. to 13.5 ft. X 50 ft. for an RV or
boat; of the seven proposed buildings, 6 are completely within or a portion of them
within that zoning district.
Mr. Medellin stated staff notified 32 properties with 4 responses, 3 opposed and 1 no
opinion/undecided. In reviewing site plan and layout of facilities staff looked at
accessibility flow and internal circulation and felt the facility would be less of a nuisance
than a strip center. The buildings directly adjacent to the west are only accessed
internally there is no access to those buildings between residential uses and the
storage units themselves. In reviewing this case, staff recommended approval subject
to the following requirements:
a. The development of the lot shall comply with all improvements and permitting
requirements including building, zoning, and other applicable codes and
ordinances. The required improvements include those listed in the staff report,
and outstanding from the site review process.
Planning and Zoning 10 November 14, 2018
b. Site improvements are subject to site plan review.
c. The use will be subject to special conditions outlined in Appendix B, Section
3420:
a} Hours of operation shall be limited to no earlier than 6:00 a.m. and no
later than 12: 00 midnight.
d. Lighting requirements that all outdoor lighting will be directed away
from residential areas.
e. The property shall have a fence or other approved screening (6 ft. minimum)
installed and maintained to obscure the view of the nonresidential use from any
residential use or district. Owner to provide example of fence or screening
material.
f. All required improvements are to be approved, completed, and inspected prior to
operating in the proposed manner.
Chairman Martin asked if the applicant was in the audience and wished to speak or
make presentation. Mr. Dennis Probst of Corlett, Probst & Boyd, LLC located at 4605
Jacksboro Highway stated he was there on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Probst stated
this strip of land was very expensive and the developer created the site plans to be as
un-intrusive as possible. Mr. Probst stated they would comply with fencing and all other
requirements. Mr. Probst believed the traffic intensity and impact would be light based
on the type of land use. Mr. Martin then asked if there was anyone else that wished to
comment. With no response Mr. Martin closed the case for public discussion and
opened to the commission for discussion. Commissioner stated good use for property.
Mr. Martin asked about the lift station close to subject property. Mr. Martin called for a
vote on the motion. Motion passed with one in opposition and seven in favor.
7. Case R 18-08 — 5001 Bartley Drive:
Request to Rezone +1- 12.6 acres of land located at 5001 Bartley
Drive (Y.M.C.A. Addition, Lot 1, Block 1) from Limited Commercial
(LC) to General Commercial {GC} to allow for the expansion of
indoor recreational uses, specifically a non-profit athletic and fitness
center with childcare facilities.
Applicant: Wichita Falls Metropolitan YMCA
*It is noted Commissioner Inman had recused himself from the case.
Chairman Martin opened the public hearing at 2:50PM for staff presentation and
discussion.
Mr. Medellin presented the case and stated staff met with developers to review site
plans. It was determined with growth of the YMCA since originally building the Bill
Bartley branch in 1983, expansion was necessary for the facility to keep pace with their
growing programming demands. Developers are now ready to start Phase 11 which
includes having a gym that will house two full courts with seating, child care facilities,
offices and new entry to the facility. With construction of this new facility it will connect
all existing structures. The Bill Bartley YMCA branch is located in the south central part
of Wichita Falls just south of the intersection of Southwest Parkway and Stone Lake
Drive. Neighboring uses to the north include a residential subdivision, and to the south
and east is the institutional use of Christ Academy. To the west is a General
Commercial (GC) district with commercial uses; bank, nursing home, investment firm,
Planning and Zoning 11 November 14, 2018
dental office and church. Mr. Medellin stated the reason for the request to rezone was
due to part to accommodate growth and need for larger/taller facilities. The Limited
Commercial (LC) district has height limitations of 35 ft. For the proposed gymnasium
height to accommodate the continued growth the height would need to be 42 ft., seven
feet over the maximum allowed in Limited Commercial (LC). In order to allow for
further development of the facility, the development group requested the rezoning. The
applicants requested the General Commercial (GC) zone immediately west of the
subject property be extended eastward to incorporate the subject property. Site plans
show landscaping to shield the property from 'the residential areas and more parking to
accommodate patrons.
Staff notified 28 properties of which 5 responses were received, 2 in favor, 1 opposed
and 2 with no opinion/undecided. With the property being owned by Midwestern State
University and operated/ leased by the Wichita Falls Metropolitan YMCA, staff believe
with this $9 million investment the Family Y will continue to be a long standing, deep
seeded part of the community. Staff recommended approval of the rezone. The new
development will need to comply with all developmental requirements:
a) Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and new development must
submit plans for review, approval, and inspection prior to beginning operations.
b) Screening device (Zoning Ordinance -Section 4610) is required to form a barrier
between other uses and adjacent residential zoned and single-family uses. The
minimum screening requirement shall be a privacy fence (wood or masonry)
along the alley perimeter (north property line) adjacent to single family property
lines.
c) All outdoor lighting (Zoning Ordinance -Section 4650) must be directed away
from the residential areas north, south and east of the property.
d) Any structures and commercial uses shall be setback (Zoning Ordinance —
Section 4670) at least 30-feet from the property line when abutting a single-
family residential use.
e) Parking sufficient to meet the needs of the development per the standards of
Section 6200.
fl Landscaping shall be provided to meet the needs requirements of Section 6800.
Mr. Martin asked if there were any comments from the public. With no comments the
public hearing was closed at 2:57pm. Chairman Martin moved to vote. Ms. Lynda
Cannedy made a motion to approve. Mr. Jack Browne seconded. Mr. Martin asked if
the applicant was in the audience and wished to comment or make a presentation. Mr.
Josh Miller with Gary Baker and Associates, located at 4309 Old Jacksboro Hwy.
stated they represent the applicant, Wichita Falls Metropolitan YMCA, and the height
issue requiring the rezone came about during the post -design value engineering phase.
The original design consisted of a steel structure and was replaced with a pre-
engineered steel structure. The increase in height was to accommodate the intersecting
Planning and Zoning 12 November 14, 2018
roof planes requiring them to raise the overall height. The YMCA will fully comply with
all conditions set before them.
Mr. Martin then closed the case for public discussion and opened for discussion with
Commission members. A commissioner asked for clarification if the height was the
only reason the rezone was needed. Mr. Medellin advised yes it was. Commissioner
Beaver asked if the height restriction could be addressed by the Board of Adjustments
Mrs. Gagne stated they did not have a hardship as this situation was created by the
applicant. With no other discussion Mr. Martin called for a vote. Motion passed
unanimously.
