Over 500 single-family homes could come to north McKinney following a recommendation from the city's Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone a 136-acre lot just east of the Honey Creek development.

The gist

At an Aug. 26 meeting, the commission unanimously voted to support rezoning the site roughly 1,350 feet west of Trinity Falls Parkway to a planned development zoning type that is consistent with the nearby Honey Creek development guidelines, according to city documents. The lot is currently outside of McKinney city limits, and an annexation request was attached to the rezoning request.

Developer Levi Wild, president of Wild Land Consulting, said the neighborhood is currently slated to have 540 homes, but the land plan is still being created, so the number could change.

"Five hundred to 600 [homes] is kind of in the neighborhood of where it is, but they're still working on the land plan to nail down the final number," Wild said at the meeting.

City staff said the neighborhood would include a mix of traditional, cottage and villa home units. The development will also include extending Laud Howell Parkway out to Lake Forest Drive to provide access to the neighborhood, Wild saidSome background

Council members approved a development agreement and several zoning requests related to the creation of the Honey Creek municipal management district in September 2024. Honey Creek could include up to 10,500 homes in both single-family and multifamily configurations as well as 80 acres of commercial land, according to city documents.

Looking ahead

McKinney City Council will make the final decision on the rezoning request at a Sept. 2 council meeting.
