Commission recommends approval to rezone 603 E. Marble Street to a townhouse planned development
Summary
After staff described requested variances for lot depth, setbacks and garage sizes, the commission voted 6-0 to recommend city council approve rezoning 603 East Marble Street from single‑family to a planned development for attached townhouses.
The Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 7 voted 6-0 to recommend city council approve a planned‑development rezoning for 603 East Marble Street to allow a three‑unit attached residential development.
Kevin, city planner, described the request as a change from Single‑Family 10 (SF‑10) zoning to a Planned Development — Townhouse (PD‑TH) to allow attached units. He said the applicant is proposing triplex units of about 1,600 square feet each with minimum lot sizes of 3,500 square feet.
Staff told commissioners the request includes several deviations from standard ordinance dimensions: lot depth of 75 feet rather than the typical 100 feet; a 10‑foot front setback in lieu of the 25‑foot requirement; and reduced garage sizes of about 450 square feet. Staff noted the property was rezoned from multifamily to single‑family in 2020 and that earlier setback variances for a detached single‑family plan do not apply to the proposed attached units.
Kevin said staff mailed 14 notices and received one written opposition submitted the day of the meeting that cited traffic concerns. Commissioners discussed neighborhood context, including adjacent apartment and duplex properties and whether the parcel’s depth and lot sizes justified a planned development approach; staff said the number of requested variances made the PD process appropriate.
No members of the public appeared to speak at the hearing. After brief discussion, the commission moved to recommend approval to city council; the motion carried 6-0.
