Commission calls public hearing to consider UMU‑1 Heritage Creekside district amendment

Plano’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5–0 on Feb. 3 to call a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the Urban Mixed Use 1 (UMU‑1) Heritage Creekside district. Staff said the notice is required because the UMU‑1 district contains multiple property owners, although the applicant’s letter states the amendment would affect only the parcels owned by RPC.

Staff presented the request as a legislative call for public hearing; staff recommended the commission call the hearing so the public and other owners could be notified. Commissioner Lingenfelter moved to call the public hearing as recommended by staff; Commissioner Brunoff seconded and the commission voted 5–0 to schedule the hearing.

Speakers: - Staff member (unnamed planner) who presented the call for hearing (government). - Bill Dahlstrom and Kay Adkin were registered as applicant speakers and present but made no extended presentation; commissioners asked no substantive questions beyond clarification about owner consent thresholds. Staff noted that an amendment to a district with multiple owners requires owner consent or a public‑hearing process.

Clarifying details: staff said that without unanimous owner consent an amendment to a multi‑owner district must proceed through a public‑hearing process; the commission set a hearing date to allow notice and formal review.

Provenance: - topicintro: block_7103.64 (introduction of non‑public hearing items and item 6 description) - topicfinish: block_7252.59 (motion passes 5 to 0 calling the public hearing)

Next steps: staff will calendar the public hearing and notify property owners in the UMU‑1 district.
