Comprehensive Plan – 2005 Revision
In 1999, the City approved a Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). The
Comp Plan provides general guidelines for the appropriate location
and concentration of development for the major types of land uses,
and, thereby, provides a basis for planning public services and
infrastructure, within Wylie and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.
The Plan offers generalized criteria for the testing of zoning regulations
and requests for changes in current use, as well as for evaluating
newly arising issues and uses. Both the quality and quantity of
public as well as private development can be directed by the philosophy
of the Plan, in order to determine how best to utilize Wylie’s
only nonexpendable resource – our land.
The standard practice is to review the Comp Plan every five years
due to the reality that as a city grows, its land use needs change
as well.
In 2004, the City began the process to revise its Comp Plan. The
proposed revision does not present a major revision; however, reflects
a reaffirmation of the 1999 Comp Plan.
Upon holding a public hearing, Council can take action to adopt
the revised Plan. Upon adoption, the Plan will be published, which
will include an updated map and land use philosophy. Then, the City’s
zoning ordinances will be revised to reflect the revised Comp Plan.
