PROPOSED ZONING: Currently the property is zoned “PD” - Planned Development District as a part of the overall Painted Tree masterplan development. The approximate 7.2 acres of land included in this rezoning request is anticipated to be 20, 70-foot single family lots that will lead to the proposed Outpost Trailhead amenity center to the west. With this rezoning request, the applicant is only proposing to modify the front yard setback requirement on the subject property from 20 feet to 10 feet.
Staff does not have any objections to the proposed front yard setback request. The applicant’s design is to emphasize the connection point from future Taylor Burk Drive to the proposed Outpost Trailhead amenity center and existing lake with these showcase lots. With the applicant’s proposed development regulations along with their vision and goals, the overall proposed development should create a cohesive and integrated community.
As such, Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning request.
CONFORMANCE TO THE ONE MCKINNEY 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: A key aspect of the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan is to provide direction related to desired development patterns in the city and to inform decisions related to the timing and phasing of future infrastructure investments. To assist in guiding these decisions, the plan includes a set of Guiding Principles that provide overall guidance and a Preferred Scenario and Land Use Diagram that illustrates the desired development patterns in the city. The Preferred Scenario and Land Use Diagram are built upon a series of distinctive districts, each with a specific purpose, focus and market. Each district consists of a mix of placetypes that identify the predominate land uses and desired pattern of development for the district.
• Guiding Principles:
The proposed rezoning request is generally in conformance with the Guiding Principle of “Diversity (Supporting our Economy and People)” established by the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, the proposed request has the potential to provide “[…]housing options and neighborhood choices that are accessible, attainable and appealing to people at all stages of their lives.”
• Preferred Scenario and Land Use Diagram Characteristics:
Per the Preferred Scenario and Land Use Diagram, the subject property is located in the Medical District and is designated as the Suburban Living placetype.
Suburban Living is found in close proximity to neighborhood commercial and commercial centers. Suburban Living provides the population necessary to support the nearby commercial and professional office uses within the surrounding corridors. These neighborhoods generally feature a subdivision layout. Residential uses are typically self-contained with a buffer from non-residential developments through transitional uses and landscaped areas. Lot sizes in Suburban Living areas are consistently less than ½ acre.
Land Use Diagram Compatibility: When considering land use decisions, the City should determine that a project aligns with the Land Use Diagram and/or meets a majority of the plan’s established criteria to be considered compatible with the Land Use Diagram. The proposed rezoning request aligns with the Suburban Living placetype of the Medical District, is in conformance with the Land Use Diagram and should be compatible with the surrounding properties.
• Fiscal Model Analysis: A fiscal analysis has not been provided as this zoning request does not change the uses or density that is currently permitted on the subject property.
OPPOSITION TO OR SUPPORT OF REQUEST: Staff has received no letters in support and no letters in opposition to this request.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On July 12, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0-0 with a recommendation of approval for the proposed rezoning request.
