STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the public hearing be closed and the item be tabled indefinitely. Staff will re-notice this item prior to a future public hearing.
ITEM SUMMARY: The City of McKinney, McKinney Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and McKinney Community Development Corporation (MCDC) are requesting to rezone approximately 82.76 acres of land, located on the southeast corner of Marketplace Drive and Central Expressway from "PD" - Planned Development District and "CC" - Corridor Commercial Overlay District to "PD" - Planned Development District and "CC" - Corridor Commercial Overlay District, generally to modify the development standards and allowed land uses. The subject property is commonly referred to as the Gateway property.
The intent of this rezoning request is to establish regulations that help to ensure the property's marketability by removing the land plans that are currently attached to the governing PD District Ordinances and by modifying the development regulations to allow for the highest and best uses on the property while ensuring that the City Council retains some level of discretionary control over the development of the subject property.
