Wylie, TX Drone Rules: Commercial Drones (2026)

Appendix B, Section 5.1's Land Use Chart lists Drone Delivery Station with an S, meaning Special Use Permit required, in the Community Retail (CR) and Commercial Corridor (CC) districts, and a P*, permitted by right subject to additional standards, in the Light Industrial (LI) and Heavy Industrial (HI) districts. No other district, including every residential district, carries an entry, so the use is not allowed there. Parking is set per approved SUP, meaning the number of spaces is fixed case by case in the Special Use Permit rather than by a citywide ratio.

Section 5.2.G.19 defines a drone delivery station as an area that is designated as a local home base for the storage and operation of drone delivery services, and its additional provisions add two conditions that apply everywhere the use is allowed: a drone delivery station cannot be located within 150 feet of the property line of a residentially zoned property, and, on top of the LI/HI by-right pathway, a Special Use Permit is specifically required within the Community Retail and Commercial Corridor Zoning districts. Because the 150-foot residential buffer applies citywide, an operator in Light Industrial or Heavy Industrial still needs a site plan demonstrating the distance from any nearby residential property line even though that district does not otherwise require the Special Use Permit that CR and CC applicants must obtain.
