RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

ITEM SUMMARY: 

                     This item is for an appeal of the Parks Department’s disapproval of a parkland proposal.

                     A development application has been submittal for a 154-unit townhome development (PLAT2024-0010). 

                     One of the requirements for development is satisfaction of the City’s parkland dedication ordinance, which generally requires dedication of land, payment in lieu of dedication, or a combination of both.

                     This development owes 3.08 acres of parkland, or $1,341,648 in cash.  This amount due reflects 2023 Collin Central Appraisal District values, which could change once 2024 values are released.

                     The applicant proposed satisfying parkland by dedicating a 6.5 acre off-site tract; construction of a 9-hole disc golf course; constructing a pedestrian crosswalk and providing maintenance funds for 1 year. This proposal was denied by the Parks Department and as such, the applicant is appealing this to the City Council.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 

                     Parks Department disapproved the applicant’s parkland proposal on 2/13/24. 

                     This development is vested under the previous Parkland Dedication Ordinance which requires 1 acre of parkland for every 50 residential units.

 

FINANCIAL SUMMARY: 

                     None.

 

BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

                     None.
