ITEM SUMMARY:
• The applicant is proposing to subdivide approximately 10 acres of land, located approximately 1,350 Feet East of FM 2933 and on the North Side of County Road 341 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 subdivided 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 subdivide the property into one lot to construct a single family residence and an accessory building. A house and accessory building are currently existing on the property and it is the applicant’s intention to demolish the existing buildings to construct a new single family home. 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.

BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
