PROPOSED ZONING: The City is proposing to zone approximately 0.605 acres of recently annexed land to “PD” Planned Development District. The proposed “PD” is intended to match the existing adjacent single family residential zoning (2001-02-024 “SF-3”). The annexation and zoning are being pursued in association with a development agreement where the city will trade property to increase the size of a neighborhood park.
The proposed residential zoning will be in conformance with and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood character and density. As the “PD” is part of an existing ordinance, the requirement for an exceptional quality or innovation has been met. Staff’s opinion is that the zoning request will continue to promote and enhance the existing surrounding neighborhood, as such, Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request.
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 Established Community. General placetypes included in this district are Suburban Living, Urban Living, Commercial Center, Neighborhood Commercial, Professional Campus, Employment Mix, Mixed-Use Center, Manufacturing & Warehousing, and Aviation (Aero-Country).
• Guiding Principles: The proposed zoning request does conform with the Guiding Principle of “Places (To live, work, play, and visit)” established by the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, the proposed request enhances the principle of “today’s neighborhoods remain vibrant and desirable places that meet the needs of existing residents and appeal to future residents” by promoting the existing neighborhood’s character through maintaining the same development regulations.
• 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 zoning request aligns with the suburban living placetype of the Established Community district.
• Land Use and Tax Base Summary: Module 45 is currently comprised of approximately 88% residential uses and 12% non-residential uses (including commercial and institutional uses). The proposed rezoning request will have minimal impact on the anticipated land uses in this module. Estimated tax revenues in Module 45 are comprised of approximately 95% from residential uses and 5% from non-residential uses (including commercial uses). Estimated tax revenues by type in Module 55 are comprised of approximately 100% ad valorem taxes and 0% sales and use taxes.
