Commission forwards 65-unit Bloomdale Road rezoning to council after unanimous approval
Summary
The commission approved and forwarded a rezoning to MR for property north of the future US 380 bypass, supporting a 65‑unit mixed residential project; staff recommended approval and the case goes to City Council Feb. 3, 2026.
The City of McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously Jan. 27 to approve a rezoning request to MR (Mixed Residential) for a site north of Bloomdale Road and roughly 540 feet west of FM 1461, forwarding the case to City Council for final action Feb. 3, 2026.
City planner Jake Bennett told the commission staff recommends approval because the MR designation would support future businesses along the US 380 corridor while buffering nearby single-family neighborhoods. Bennett also said the property will be annexed and that TxDOT has begun acquiring right-of-way for the future US 380 bypass.
Kevin Patel, the engineer of record with Triangle Engineering, described the developer’s vision for the site: “We have about 65 units,” he said, noting the design includes attached townhome-style units with gated access, two garage spaces plus two front spaces per unit, additional parking and EV parking spaces, and on-site detention that could be used by residents. Patel said final renderings were submitted to staff for inclusion with the council packet.
Commissioners asked about sewer capacity, lot widths and how the property will be platted; Bennett said sewer and water will need to be extended to the site and that multiple underlying lots are expected to be platted as one. No members of the public spoke on the item. Commissioner Hammock moved to close the public hearing and approve the rezoning; the commission approved the motion unanimously by show of hands.
The commission’s approval advances the zoning decision to City Council on Feb. 3, 2026; site engineering, utility extension and final platting will be addressed during permitting and annexation stages.
