Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Enhance the Quality of Life in McKinney
MEETING DATE: June 2, 2026
DEPARTMENT: Development Services - Planning Department
CONTACT: Cassie Bumgarner - Planning Manager
Lucas Raley - Director of Planning
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION:
• Approve one of the two attached ordinances, which will then be taken forward to City Council on June 16, 2026.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• There are two ordinance options for the TIRZ Board to discuss, either of which would fund the $453,439.57 Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement and Project Plan Implementation Agreement with the Parks Church.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• At the May 5, 2026 TIRZ 1 meeting, the Parks Church requested TIRZ funding for their environmental remediation at the 129-131 S Tennessee site, which included removal of 5 underground gas tanks from a previous use on the site.
• The TIRZ Board funded The Parks Church in the amount of $453,439.57.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• Each year $400,000 is allocated to the “Vacant/Underutilized Sites/Buildings” project category of Reinvestment Zone Number 1 to support project requests under this category. The current balance of funds in this account for FY26 is $279,000.
• The TIRZ Board has two options for the budget amendment:
o Fund the project by utilizing the remaining allocated funds in the “Vacant/Underutilized Sites/Buildings” balance ($279k) and supplement with general TIRZ 1 fund balance dollars ($174.4k). This would close out the allocation of funds under the “Vacant/Underutilized Sites/Buildings” project category for the remainder of the fiscal year.
o Fund the project entirely from the general TIRZ 1 fund balance. This would reduce the general fund balance by the project amount funded ($453.4k).
• The ordinance approved today will then be subject to City Council approval.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
• At the May 5, 2026, Reinvestment Zone No. 1 regular meeting, the TIRZ Board approved a Chapter 380 Economic Development Agreement and Project Plan Implementation Agreement with the Parks Church in the amount of $453,439.57.
