CONFORMANCE TO ONE MCKINNEY 2040: A key aspect of the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan is to provide direction related to the desired development patterns and to inform decisions related to the timing and phasing for future infrastructure investments in the City. To assist in guiding these decisions, the Preferred Scenario and Land Use Diagram establishes distinctive districts, each with a clear intent and market focus that are reinforced through character-defining placetypes. In conjunction with the Preferred Scenario, there will be a series of district diagrams which outline the desired development patterns for each unique area of McKinney. Per the Preferred Scenario, the subject property is located in the Collin McKinney District. General placetypes included in this district are Entertainment Center, Professional Campus, Mixed-Use Center, and Urban Living.
• Guiding Principles: The proposed rezoning request is generally in conformance with Guiding Principle of “Diversity (Supporting our Economy and People)” established by the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, the proposed request has the potential to provide “diverse economic engines… broaden the tax base, and make the City’s economy more adaptable and resilient”.
• Land Use Diagram Compatibility: In evaluating development requests, the City should determine that a project meets the majority of the established criteria to be considered compatible with the Land Use Diagram. The proposed rezoning request aligns with concepts in the Mixed-Use Center and Professional Campus placetypes of the Collin McKinney District. Furthermore, the proposed request of “SO” - Suburban Office District should be compatible with the surrounding properties and placetypes, including Entertainment Center and Urban Living placetypes.
• Land Use and Tax Base Summary: Module 13 is currently comprised of approximately 54% residential uses and 46% non-residential uses (including institutional and agricultural uses).The proposed rezoning request will have minimal impact on the anticipated land uses in this module. Estimated tax revenues in Module 13 are comprised of approximately 80.5% from residential uses and 19.5% from non-residential uses (Including agricultural uses). Estimated tax revenues by type in Module 13 are comprised of approximately 88% ad valorem taxes and 12% sales and use taxes.
