Council continues public hearing on 71.72-acre mixed-use zoning proposal
Summary
The Colony City Council voted to continue a public hearing on a proposed rezoning of roughly 71.72 acres at Plano Parkway and Wind Haven (PD‑10 to PD‑31) to its next meeting; councilmembers referenced both May 5 and May 6 as the continuation date during the exchange.
The Colony City Council on the evening it met opened a public hearing on a proposed ordinance to rezone about 71.72 acres at the northwest intersection of Plano Parkway and Wind Haven from Planned Development 10 to a new Planned Development 31 to establish conceptual layout and development standards for a mixed commercial development. Mayor (speaker 1) opened the hearing and read the item description.
Councilmember Wade (speaker 8) moved to continue the public hearing to the council’s next meeting, and the motion was seconded and carried. During the exchange council members referenced the continuation date as May 5, 2026, while the mayor later repeated “Tuesday, May 6,” creating an inconsistency in the record about the exact calendar date for the continued hearing.
Why it matters: The continuance delays public testimony and staff presentation on the proposed zoning standards and concept plan, giving the applicant and members of the public more time to prepare written and oral comments. The proposal would change the governing Planned Development district and create a new development framework for roughly 71.7 acres that will shape permitted uses, setbacks and design standards if and when the council takes final action.
What the council said and did: The mayor opened the hearing and described the site and proposal. Councilmember Wade made a motion to continue the public hearing; another member seconded, the mayor called the vote and announced the motion passed. The motion’s language was to “continue the public hearing and action to May 5,” while the mayor announced the continuation to “Tuesday, May 6.” The council did not provide a formal roll-call vote tally in the transcript.
What’s next: The hearing will be resumed at the council’s next regularly scheduled meeting on the May date the council confirms; staff will re-notice the public hearing and bring the item back with staff and applicant presentations. Public commenters who arrived for the hearing were told they need not remain because the hearing was continued.
Provenance: First discussed at SEG 294; last related remarks at SEG 330.
