The full story
The zoning change calls for the eastern half of Water Street, which currently connects Windrose Avenue to Communications Parkway in Legacy West, to be converted into 0.18 acres of open space, which would become an outdoor stage, according to city documents.
Plano Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for the zoning change during its March 25 meeting.
The western half of the road would remain a private driveway with access to both Communications Parkway and Windrose Avenue, along with the adjacent parking garage, City Planner Destiny Woods said.
Since Water Street would no longer function as a quasi-public street, all apartments and businesses with a Water Street address will be readdressed to Communications Parkway.
The zoning request would also allow eight total kiosks for advertising within the space, along with four signs on the nearby parking garage.
What’s next?
City Council will have final say during its April 14 meeting.
