The context
The commission held a public hearing at the Jan. 6 meeting to discuss a request to rezone a 6-acre lot from a commercial corridor zoning type, which allowed for manufacturing and industrial uses, to single-family residential zoning.
The proposal for the lot, which is located west of K Avenue and south of Spring Creek Parkway, would have seen the property developed as a residential subdivision with about 47 homes on it, according to city documents.
The commission had several concerns, such as the burden the zoning change would place on businesses already operating in the area and quality of life for potential residents moving into the proposed subdivision. City staff also recommended the commission deny the proposal.
Ultimately, the commission voted to deny the request because the proposal did not align with the Envision Oak Point Small Area Plan.
Also on the agenda
The commission did vote to recommend two replats, a process in which an existing property’s lots are redrawn. The first, located at the southwest corner of I Avenue and 17th Street, was for six single-family lots. The replat modifies the boundaries, according to city documents.
The second, located at the southeast corner of K Avenue and 10th Street, was to create a subdivision with eight single-family lots and one open space common area.
What’s next
The items must go before Plano City Council for final action and will appear on the agenda for an upcoming meeting.
