CONTACT: Michael Quint, Director of Planning

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
· Staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning request due to lack of conformance with the City of McKinney's Comprehensive Plan.
However, should the rezoning request be approved, the applicant is requesting the following special ordinance provision:
1. The use and development of the subject property shall develop in accordance with the attached development regulations.
ITEM SUMMARY:
· The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 16.07 acres of land, located on the south side of Bloomdale Road and the west side of F.M. 1461 (Future Lake Forest Drive) from "PD" - Planned Development District to "PD" - Planned Development District, generally to allow for single family detached residential uses and to modify the associated development standards. The applicant has also attached a conceptual layout that development on the property would generally conform with. The subject property is currently part of a larger tract (approximately 20 acres) designated for retail uses. The applicant has left the balance of land designated for retail uses (approximately 4 acres) at the southwest corner of Bloomdale Road and Lake Forest Drive.
· In March of 2014, the applicant submitted a rezoning request for the subject property, also for single family residential uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the request and, as such, the applicant chose to withdraw the request prior to City Council consideration. The request has since been revised to incorporate the Planning and Zoning Commission's comments regarding the mean and median lot size.

BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
