RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request, with the following special ordinance provisions:
1. The subject property be developed according to “RS 60” - Single Family Residence District and “H” - Historic Preservation Overlay District regulations, except as follows:
a) Lot 1
i. The front yard setback shall be a minimum of 23 feet.
b) Lot 2
i. The front yard setback shall be a minimum of 14 feet.
ii. The lot depth shall be a minimum of 73 feet.
2. One advertising sign be allowed to be attached to each structure to be no greater than four square feet in size.
3. The subject property shall generally develop according to the attached Zoning Exhibit “B”.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 0.37 acres of land, located on the east side of Wood Street and on the west side of Kentucky Street, from “PD” - Planned Development District and “H” - Historic Preservation Overlay District to “PD” - Planned Development District and “H” - Historic Preservation Overlay District, generally for single family residential uses and to modify development standards.
• There are currently two existing single family residences on the subject property, with which the applicant has separate deeds for; however, the property is currently platted as a single lot in the McKinney Original Donation Addition. The applicant is proposing to formally subdivide the lot into two separate lots, in accordance with the City of McKinney Subdivision Ordinance, and has submitted an associated minor replat (11-008MRP) for approval. As it is with many lots in the historic neighborhoods of McKinney, the lot sizes are smaller and the development patterns are much more dense than a typical neighborhood built today. In this particular case, subdividing the lot is not possible without modifying the minimum lot depth of one of the lots and the minimum front yard setback for both of the existing structures.
