Wylie P&Z recommends special use permit for farmers market at 711 Woodbridge Parkway
Summary
Commissioners recommended approval of a special use permit request to allow a farmers market on 5.8 acres at 711 Woodbridge Parkway, with conditions limiting operators, frequency and certain product sales; commission asked staff to tighten prohibited-product language.
The Wylie Planning and Zoning Commission recommended a special use permit to allow a farmers market on approximately 5.8 acres at 711 Woodbridge Parkway during its March 18, 2025 meeting.
City planning staff described the proposal as a farmers market to be operated by the Wiley's Farmers Market nonprofit on a portion of the site near the B&B Theaters. Staff reported the market operated last year under a temporary-use permit and the applicant is seeking a permanent special use permit to operate on Saturdays twice a month.
Staff said conditions limit operations to the applicant organization (the market may not be transferred to a different operator), require notification to staff in advance of events, and require county and fire marshal approvals for food trucks. Staff also said the packet contained an error listing the frequency as once a month; the applicant requested twice a month.
The commission discussed the SUP conditions that prohibit sales of “smoke, vape, CBD-type products” and asked staff to tighten the language to make clear that edibles and THC products are also prohibited. A staff member said the conditions could be reworded to include phrasing such as “including but not limited to” and specifically list edibles.
The applicant confirmed during the hearing that movie‑theater patrons would not be permitted to bring fresh food into the theater from the market.
Staff said the city mailed notice to 15 property owners; no written responses in favor or opposition were reported.
A commissioner moved to approve the special use permit with the rewording discussed to clarify prohibited products; another commissioner seconded. The transcript records the motion and second but does not include a roll‑call tally for this item.
If city council approves the ordinance amendment and the SUP, the market would be authorized under the special use permit conditions and would remain subject to Collin County health inspections and fire marshal approvals for food vendors.
