Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request to Rezone the Subject Property from “PD” - Planned Development District to “SF5” - Single Family Residential District, Located Approximately 785 Feet North of White Avenue and on the East Side of Community Avenue
Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Direction for Strategic and Economic Growth
MEETING DATE: November 8, 2016
DEPARTMENT: Planning
CONTACT: Matt Robinson, AICP, Planning Manager
Danielle Quintanilla, Planner I
APPROVAL PROCESS: The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be forwarded to the City Council for final action at the December 6, 2016 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the proposed rezoning request due to lack of conformance with the City of McKinney’s Comprehensive Plan and City Council’s goal of preserving and developing the non-residential tax base.
However, should the rezoning request be approved, the subject property shall develop in accordance with Section 146-106 (“SF5” - Single Family Residential District) of the zoning ordinance, and as amended.
Professionally speaking, Staff has no objections to the proposed rezoning request as development of the entire property for non-residential uses may be challenging due to its limited access, the property’s mid-block location and the adjacent residential land uses to the north and future residential uses to the south, which make the property more conducive to residential uses.
