ITEM SUMMARY: The City of McKinney is proposing to zone approximately 675 acres of land that was recently annexed into the City's corporate limits. More specifically, on May 5, 2015 and June 16, 2015, the City Council approved the annexation of approximately 675 acres of land into the City's corporate limits however the land was not zoned at that time. The subject property will be zoned "AG" - Agricultural District if this proposed zoning request is approved by the City Council. The proposed "AG" zoning is intended to be a temporary zoning district. When the properties included in this zoning are ready for development, another rezoning request will likely be submitted for a future City Council's consideration and action.
