RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed general development plan.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL DATE: September 18, 2018 (Original Application)
October 15, 2018 (Revised Submittal)
October 23, 2018 (Revised Submittal)
ITEM SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a general development plan for an approximately 13.6 acre tract of land. Per the governing zoning ordinance (“PD” - Planned Development District Ordinance No. 2018-08-060), a general development plan must be reviewed and approved by City Council.
A general development plan is a general schematic of the layout of the proposed development and details the relationship of the development to adjacent properties, general patterns, open space locations, and thoroughfare locations. Any significant changes to the GDP after its approval, as determined by the Director of Planning, would require a revised GDP to be reviewed and approved by the City Council.
The approval of the general development plan does not finalize the alignment of any roadways, lot patterns, and common areas. Alignment of roadways and right-of-way dedications are generally determined when a preliminary-final plat is submitted and reviewed, which shows all distances, bearings, metes and bounds, etc. Preliminary utility construction plans and grading and drainage plans are also reviewed during the review of a preliminary-final plat, including storm water management and detention areas.

PROPOSED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN CHARACTERISTICS: The general development plan shall delineate the proposed characteristics of land use and building locations, lot patterns, street network, land use calculations, and open space designations. The proposed general development plan shows the land uses, building locations, open space areas, and density. The general development plan also indicates access throughout the proposed development.
SECONDARY AND COLLECTOR STREETS: The system of collector or secondary streets is very important to the general development plan. It should assure good automobile access and circulation for every tract within the area. It should also provide safe pedestrian and bicycle routes throughout the area and convenient access to the hike and bike trails that will serve all of McKinney. Special emphasis should be given to safe and convenient access by automobile, bicycle and by foot to schools and parks that will serve the area.
