ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is proposing to plat approximately 1.973 acres of land, located at the northeast corner Easy Lane and Custer Road (Farm to Market Road 2478), within the City of McKinney’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Since the subject property is located within the City’s ETJ, the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance do not apply to the subject property; however, regulations of the Subdivision Ordinance do apply.
• Under State Law, before a property can be developed in the City of McKinney ETJ, it must be platted and filed for record with the Collin County Clerk, in accordance with the City of McKinney’s subdivision regulations. Typically, preliminary-final plats are considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission. This preliminary-final plat has bypassed the Planning and Zoning Commission and is being considered by the City Council because the applicant has requested several variances to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Per the Subdivision Ordinance, only the City Council can grant a variance.
• The applicant is requesting to plat one tracts of land into one lot. There is currently one office/warehouse/fabrication/sales building (Richardson Glass Company) on the subject property and the property owner is requesting to continue the existing use in a new 5,000 square foot building. The applicant has indicated to Staff the desire to not construct or escrow for the typical required improvements, such as water, sanitary sewer, and roads; however, the applicant has agreed to provide the easements for said infrastructure, and to enter into a facilities agreement with the City of McKinney.
PLATTING STATUS:
• The subject property is currently unplatted. Subsequent to the approval of the preliminary-final plat, a record plat or plats, subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning, must be filed for recordation with the Collin County Clerk.
