The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a zoning change, subject to the city's compliance ordinances, for 156.3 acres for an urban mixed-use development on the southwest corner of Plano Parkway and Alma Drive at its Oct. 6 meeting.

The development by Rosewood Property Group, called Heritage 190, is planned as an urban village anchored by a major office complex with retail, restaurants and 1,300 apartment units. RPC President and CEO Bill Flaherty said the group is ready to begin Phase 1 as soon as possible if the development is approved. The phase would include restaurants, office or retail, multifamily units, townhomes, detached single family units, an improved creek, parks and pedestrian bridges.

"There is market demand and we are in detailed discussions with a corporate office user that would be relocating jobs here," Flaherty said. "We believe this is a significant opportunity for this part of Plano."

Residents in both opposition and support were present at the meeting and provided feedback to the commission about the Heritage 190 development.

The item will be on City Council's agenda at its Oct. 27 regular meeting.
