The Wylie City Council met Tuesday, March 11, to discuss several items, including a consent agenda that included approving a review of water and wastewater rates, new technology purchases, and zoning changes.

During the meeting, the council held a public hearing to consider a zoning change for 308 N. Ballard Ave. to allow for a smoking establishment. This request was presented by Jose Hernandez, who had previously been denied a similar request for 100 N. Ballard Ave. in September. After discussion, the council approved the zoning change, granting a special use permit for the new lounge.

For more details on the meeting and the council’s approvals, see the next edition of The Wylie News, available in print and online.

The next Wylie City Council meeting is set for Tuesday, March 25, and is open to the public.
