Planner Jake Bennett said the proposed R‑12 area is about 44 acres and aligns with the comprehensive plan’s estate‑residential place type; the C‑2 parcel at the hard corner of planned arterial intersections is roughly 8.5 acres and staff judged the location appropriate for local commercial despite not strictly matching the comp plan designation; the I‑1 area to the north is about 48 acres and sits adjacent to existing business and aviation uses.

Applicant Ryan Joyce of Michael Joyce Properties described his firm as a local, family‑owned developer and said the residential component would meet the R‑12 minimum lot size (12,000 square feet) with some lots up to a half‑acre; he said anticipated single‑family price points would range from about $1.2 million to $2 million. Joyce said utilities (sewer and water) and specific commercial/industrial uses would be determined later with future site plans.

No members of the public spoke on the item during the hearing. Commissioner Charles moved to close the public hearing and approve the rezoning recommendation; the motion passed 7–0 and the commission will forward the case to City Council for final action in March.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","McKinney - Planning & Zoning Commission - Feb 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A request to rezone an agricultural tract northwest of County Roads 317 and 325 into R‑12 residential, C‑2 local commercial and I‑1 light industrial districts was recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, 7–0.","taxTitle","McKinney, Collin County, Texas","taxId",2778,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667341,"Planning commission recommends rezoning to permit drone‑delivery structures at Walmart; Zipline presents technology",344,2660000,3004000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0&start=2660&end=3004","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0/thumbnail_2660000.jpg","/articles/6667341/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-to-permit-dronedelivery-structures-at-Walmart-Zipline-presents-technology","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667341-46ca2d8b5f1bce348986bb547ae5c3c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212036&Signature=ogBhdfUBka8lyIhiFfwrvVnd4TZLKWMpj13WWjdCwvmFbVU2DBFZihRxKLn5MhL7bUIp49H0ZyqNyWG3s5pBSumtM2a6luSvI2~nduU2KazhqEg2NaMS8C7boDpTMcsGL7rwTwUuBzei179CrbY2dZXSDdh9gaYNCoFoHx1wLX8qDHwTVPF3QgX7wzuRLwUr4Viqh42GRWR65GU98ITM9mAlzLfbFWxm5LjYfo6rF1GCebZlFhuZjg5m2O58H78Luq~j2R~sBU2I65k23i3OfT3~EbCSVQICRXmDIII83FF5gg17ZKoSx3sqynvky0fQFGH0Nyv-KUyCAX-YiTuxEw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On Feb. 11, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, 7–0, of a rezoning request (case 240103 Z) to permit detached accessory structures and drone‑delivery operations at the Walmart Supercenter property on Redbud Boulevard.

Planner Jake Bennett said the proposal ties a zoning exhibit to the property that would limit where docking and launching structures could be built and would generally require development to conform to the proposed layout; staff noted the site is in a commercial/light‑industrial area separated from residences by existing buffers and mature trees. Bennett reported the proposed dock structures would be about 22–28 feet tall and that the proposed zoning would limit structure height to 35 feet (the current site allowed up to 45 feet).

Stephanie Cook, head of U.S. operations for Zipline, presented details of the company’s platform‑2 drone‑delivery system and said Zipline has completed more than 1.2 million commercial deliveries globally. Cook described the system as a two‑part architecture — a larger aircraft (“Zip”) that remains around 300 feet above ground while a smaller suspended vehicle (“Joy” or “droid”) is lowered to the delivery point on a tether — and said initial operations would be limited to about a two‑mile radius from the Walmart location, with payloads up to 8 pounds.

Cook addressed common questions about noise, safety and privacy, stating that Zipline’s sound profile at operational altitude is roughly in the 53–64 decibel range (comparable to car traffic at 300 feet), that the company employs redundant safety systems and automated pre‑flight checks, and that imagery is blurred and not used to identify individuals.

No members of the public spoke on the rezoning during the public‑hearing period. A motion to close the hearing and approve the rezoning as recommended by staff passed; the commission forwarded the recommendation to City Council for final action on March 4, 2025.","The commission voted 7–0 to forward a rezoning request allowing detached accessory structures and drone‑delivery operations at the Walmart on Redbud Boulevard; Zipline representatives described the system, payload limits and safety protocols during a public presentation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667346,"Commission recommends approval of mixed‑use rezoning at Custer Road and FM 1461 despite neighborhood concerns",1847,777000,2624000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0&start=777&end=2624","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0/thumbnail_777000.jpg","/articles/6667346/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/Commission-recommends-approval-of-mixeduse-rezoning-at-Custer-Road-and-FM-1461-despite-neighborhood-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667346-f9b814c0f3cd541d676ad8c093b1b164/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212036&Signature=YeWk3aq7FONpMWjzgteOMnCNM94JYs~RKFAP5qzRnnYBud7jmvihPT1~pUJjByyp8i6xt6cS2h2eTGoR1q9ZjbcElBpY-Xu25vWdzXqTvzL3bjnlTRNI-qmoQ~27NMppVCONM2oT~9wM5ZWd7aHzIBLutKtns1AIZ5PDOyB3l2iG~BqDuF50D7bBqZPCzxuiDLHys1DcQWMRzIjfpI7ml~RLvKnMa4m2coR7YD~rbV~f5EhV0BPynh~uTUwkcYf7l~Q09txJ7JT8aO4GItzUtvuug-Qlo9-VrQ4HyppFprqlnnWzYiqlrqHwQEq58rthvtvIKgPmIPN50vkQkWzvHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 11 voted 7–0 to recommend approval to City Council of a rezoning request (case 240075 Z2) that would revise a planned‑development district at the southeast and southwest corners of Custer Road and FM 1461 to allow a mix of multifamily, commercial and single‑family development.

City planner Roger Palmer described the proposal as a reorganization of approximately 24 acres into three tracks: a commercial area (Track A), a multifamily tract of about 10.85 acres (Track B) zoned MF‑30 permitting up to roughly 30 units per acre with a maximum overall multifamily unit figure noted in the development regulations as about 300 units, and a single‑family area (Track C) in R‑5/R‑8 equivalent standards. Palmer said the intent is to modernize the zoning to reflect current UDC standards while adding a limited multifamily component.

Applicant David Palmer, a partner with Weitzman representing the Haggard family, told the commission the developer intends a grocer‑anchored shopping center on the southeast corner and said the commercial activation is the project driver; he said the shopping center would be oriented toward Custer and that the team is coordinating curb‑cut and median work with TxDOT. Palmer said the grocer‑anchored center could open in late 2026 or early 2027 if site‑plan approvals proceed on schedule.

Several residents spoke in opposition during the public hearing, expressing concern about traffic congestion on Custer Road and Frontier Parkway, the proposed multifamily density, reduced multifamily parking ratios (the city recently updated multifamily parking requirements to 1.75 spaces per dwelling), and impacts on Prosper Independent School District capacity. Gretchen Darby said neighbors “found out about this about 8 or 9 days ago” and warned the multifamily zoning “will lead to significantly higher traffic volumes.” Carrie Willis and Kate Casper raised similar objections about notice, density and school capacity.

Commissioners emphasized the scope of the hearing before them — a rezoning recommendation rather than a site plan — and noted that traffic details and driveway/turn‑lane requirements will be reviewed at the site‑plan stage and by TxDOT where applicable. Commissioner discussion included questions about planned arterial classifications (Custer as a future 6‑lane principal arterial; Frontier/FM‑1461 as a major arterial) and multifamily parking standards. Staff confirmed the multifamily standard under the UDC update is 1.75 spaces per unit.

A motion by Commissioner James, seconded by Commissioner Charles Wadley, approved forwarding the rezoning request to City Council for final action on March 4, 2025. The vote was 7–0.","The commission voted 7–0 to forward a rezoning request that would add multifamily, commercial and single‑family uses on approximately 24 acres at the southeast and southwest corners of Custer Road and FM 1461; neighbors raised concerns about traffic, parking and school capacity during public comment.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667349,"Commission backs conditional permit for 110‑foot stealth communication tower on city land",190,503000,693000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0&start=503&end=693","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2264178-b483302ed11e1be3398b294516a10cf0/thumbnail_503000.jpg","/articles/6667349/McKinney/Collin-County/Texas/Commission-backs-conditional-permit-for-110foot-stealth-communication-tower-on-city-land","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6667349-3d665bd345639efc757bc7683f8dc037/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212036&Signature=khRYNgWHkMfiS3NLXCGOS6Qr5NAX72aO4KX~Jw0mvFiE-ClYaNnYVAzqWozBV6x8Mjdh6ca3IGzGG~yL8ec~S6xxigzurzRh6wq9OWDgf~fraigFxGXBeoaMO62qvnNaAOc6T2rGG0cYyR4ZNlaK21FiNeoQeFmkJ4ARHUgAZuad3kGRE71QnkELGkLZRKtBQmkdWyb44fkd1SISP6XXcisLB3fCv7BpbjA4OOw1DhnzGBgZr35jf8bcjucQZvV9icURJufwWlWaRsMuwaYNDN7ap1K352GRYODcNWDqxqYvYd8MG0pLT8oabDWRhxghADgzOIOVVQl92be8VEEtmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 11 voted 7–0 to recommend approval of a specific-use permit for a 110‑foot stealth telecommunications structure on city-owned land that is planned to become a park.

Planner Jake Bennett told the commission the request exceeds the typical permitted height and includes reduced setback distances measured from the lease area; because the lease area is within a larger parent tract intended for a future park, none of the adjacent properties are zoned single‑family residential and the site is several hundred feet from nearby roads. Bennett said the proposal is intended to improve cellular coverage along the State Highway 121 corridor and that staff’s propagation maps show a “drastic increase in service for the area.” He recommended approval.

Ray Roman of AnthemNet, the applicant, said the tower shaft width will be about “4 feet 6 inches,” and that antenna equipment would be fully enclosed within the structure.

Commissioners asked about visual buffering and the height relative to surrounding buildings and apartments; staff said nearby apartment buildings and other structures in Craig Ranch exceed 60 feet in places and that a densely treed creek area provides screening to the east. With no members of the public speaking for or against the item, the commission moved to close the public hearing and approve the SUP recommendation to council.

The motion to close the public hearing and approve the SUP was made by Commissioner Deidre and seconded by Commissioner James. The vote was 7–0.

City planner Stewart Starry told commissioners the applicant proposes two loading bays oriented toward Interchange Street and that the usual tree ratio for that configuration — one street canopy tree per 30 feet of frontage — could not be met because of the existing site conditions. Staff said the applicant requested a modification to a ratio of one tree per 74 feet, yielding three street buffer trees in addition to other on-site trees, and recommended approval.

Architect and contractor Sam Ellis, representing the applicant, said the existing landscape buffer is extensive and that additional trees would “make it more clutter” and reduce the park‑like character. Ellis said, “what we have is an 84 foot landscape buffer for, from the street. It's almost park like, and, with the initial trees, the existing trees that we have in there, planting more would just actually make it more clutter and, would take away from the park light, that's existing.”

Staff noted that existing buildings and trees provide partial screening of the loading bays from the right of way and that the applicant proposed evergreen shrubs and strategically placed canopy trees to improve screening and the streetscape. Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions and voted to close the public hearing and approve the site plan as recommended by staff.

The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Buettner and seconded by Commissioner Woodward. The vote was 7–0; the site plan and associated design exception were approved and no additional conditions beyond staff recommendations were recorded.

The approval is a final action by the Planning and Zoning Commission for the site-plan request; there was no indication in the hearing record that the item required further council review.","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site-plan design exception allowing Mobile Mounting Solutions to expand a warehouse at 406 Interchange Street with fewer street canopy trees than zoning would normally require; approval was unanimous, 7–0.","actionData","errors"]
