Commission approves design-exception for two West Grove restaurants

Jake Bennett, planner with the City of McKinney, presented a design-exception request for two proposed restaurants near the southeast corner of US-380 and Custer. The applicant requested a 5-foot reduction to the street landscape buffer, proposing a 20-foot buffer to match adjacent properties in the West Grove development; Bennett said "the design exception is only for the 5 foot reduction" and that staff believes the request meets UDC criteria and recommended approval.
