RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the petition to annex and zone the subject property as “I1” - Light Industrial District.
ITEM SUMMARY: Staff is requesting to annex and zone approximately 398.5517 acres of land to “I1” - Light Industrial District, located approximately 420 feet east of Enloe Road and approximately 4,940 feet south of East University Drive (U.S. 380).
Petition to Annex (Agenda Item No. 26-0012A)
• Pursuant to Chapter 43 (Sub-Chapter C-3) of the Texas Local Government Code, the applicant has submitted a petition for voluntary annexation into the City of McKinney for approximately 398.5517 acres of land.
• The subject property is located in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of McKinney. The purpose of the ETJ is to promote the general health, safety and welfare of a person residing in and adjacent to the municipalities. The Subdivision Ordinance applies to property within the ETJ; the Zoning Ordinance does not.
• The subject property is located within the McKinney Independent School District.
• In association with tonight’s annexation request, city staff is also proposing an Annexation Facilities Agreement outlining the development and infrastructure requirements of the property, including the provision of any applicable proportionality, impact, pro rata or parkland fees.
• The proposed Annexation Facilities Agreement provides for the standard development, infrastructure, and fee requirements of the city. Pursuant to the methodology and provisions of the city’s roadway impact and/or proportionality fees, the proposed agreement stipulates that the property owner will receive credit for their construction and the property will not be subject to the collection of any roadway proportionality fees for the proposed development.
• Staff has also included a service plan outlining the provision of municipal services associated with the proposed annexation which will be included as an exhibit to the Annexation Ordinance.
• Staff recommends approval of the proposed Annexation Facilities Agreement and the proposed Annexation Ordinance, which includes the Service Plan for the provision of municipal services (Agenda Item No. 26-0012A).
Request to Zone (Agenda Item No. 26-0117Z)
• Staff is recommending to zone the subject property as the “I1” - Light Industrial District, generally for industrial uses. This zoning request aligns with the districts and placetypes designated in the Comprehensive Plan.
• Staff feels that the proposed zoning request will be compatible with the existing and proposed surrounding uses. As such, we recommend approval of the zoning request (Agenda Item No. 26-0117Z).
• Information regarding the zoning request and Staff’s full evaluation is attached to this agenda item as “26-0117Z - Zoning Request Information.”

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
1. Annexation and City Services.
• The annexation of land is governed by Chapter 43, Sub-Chapter C-3 of the Texas Local Government Code. This code section outlines the steps and procedures that must be followed in order to incorporate land that is within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) into its corporate city limits on request of the owner(s). The proposed annexation is following these statutory obligations.
• The subject property that is proposed to be annexed is vacant land.
• The McKinney Fire Department currently provides fire and medical emergency services in this area. Currently, police response is from Collin County. The Texas Local Government Code stipulates that police and fire services must be provided pursuant to the terms outlined in the written agreement for the provision of municipal services (known as the Service Plan).
• The Texas Local Government Code stipulates that solid waste collection must be available pursuant to the terms outlined in the written agreement for the provision of municipal services (known as the Service Plan).
2. Development Requirements.
• All necessary public improvements will be required at time of platting, unless otherwise specified in an approved facilities, development, or annexation agreement.
• Upon annexation into the city, the subject property will be subject to the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, unless otherwise specified in an approved facilities, development, or annexation agreement.
• Upon annexation into the city, development of the subject property will be subject to the payment of a proportionality fee and/or impact fee, which represents a roughly proportional amount necessary to offset the roadway infrastructure capacity needs of the subject property.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• Any annexation carries fiscal implications for the City, balancing potential property tax, sales tax, and utility revenues against the long-term cost of providing services and maintaining infrastructure.
• Although the developer will be responsible for upgrading roads and extending utilities as development occurs, the long-term maintenance of these facilities will be the City’s responsibility.
Annexed parcels are subject to City property tax. This tract may currently have an agricultural valuation classification with Collin Appraisal District (CAD). An AG exemption is given to properties in active agricultural uses, which allows the property to have a lower appraisal value and thus, lower taxes. When property with an AG exemption is developed, it is subject to rollback taxes for each of the previous five years. As such, the owner would be required to pay County, ISD, and City taxes which had been exempted during that five-year period. Whenever this proposed tract is developed, the City would receive rollback taxes if the property has such an exemption.
OPPOSITION TO OR SUPPORT OF REQUEST: Staff have received no letters of support to this request and no letters of opposition. This does not include emails or letters that may have been sent directly to members of the Council. Staff have not received any citizen comments through the online citizen portal.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Annexation requests are considered solely by the City Council. However, the associated zoning request was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission at the October 13, 2026 meeting and received a favorable recommendation by the Commission in a 7-0-0 vote.
