Council approves rezoning of 8-acre parcel near North Custer Road to local commercial
Summary
The council approved a developer request to rezone about 8 acres east of North Custer Road, north of Easy Lane, from planned development to C-2 local commercial; staff said the change aligns with the comprehensive plan.
The McKinney City Council on Aug. 19 approved a rezoning that will convert roughly 8 acres east of North Custer Road, about 690 feet north of Easy Lane, from planned development (PD) for single-family to C-2 local commercial.
Caitlin Strickland of planning staff told the council the property includes about 3.49 acres reclaimed from the flood plain, which has improved development potential. Staff concluded the requested change aligns with the comprehensive plan’s Northridge District place type and recommended approval.
The applicant, Steven Smith, who identified himself as the property owner, said he expects neighborhood-service retail or a Montessori school could be tenants but had no final user committed at the public hearing. The council moved to close the public hearing and approved the rezoning on a motion recorded at the meeting.
What happens next: The developer may now proceed with site planning under the C-2 rules and seek building permits for permitted uses in the local commercial district. No new financial commitments or public subsidies for the site were recorded during the hearing.
