Commission backs rezoning for 0.49-acre infill homes near downtown McKinney
Summary
The Plan and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to forward a rezoning of about 0.49 acres at the northeast corner of South Tennessee and Christian Street from neighborhood business to R-5 residential to allow detached single-family homes; staff said the change aligns with the comprehensive plan.
The City of McKinney Plan and Zoning Commission on March 23 unanimously approved and forwarded to City Council a rezoning request to change roughly 0.49 acres at the northeast corner of South Tennessee Street and Christian Street from BN (Neighborhood Business) to R-5 Residential.
City planner Ari Mateo summarized the request and said the rezoning would “align with the existing residential in the area” and the comprehensive plan’s town‑center/mixed place type. Mateo clarified the property is not inside the historic overlay and that two existing houses on the lot would be removed under the applicant’s letter of intent.
Applicant Casey Gregory of Sanchez Associates told the commission the planned use is detached single-family homes, “for sale” units, with a minimum lot width of 50 feet and a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet. Gregory said the proposal is intended to bring infill housing that aligns with the surrounding neighborhood.
Commissioner Wadley moved to close the public hearing and pass the item according to staff recommendations; Commissioner Woodard seconded. The commission voted 7-0 to forward the rezoning to City Council for final action on April 15, 2025.
The staff packet and applicant letter of intent are part of the public record.
