A developer’s plan for new apartments approved this week would replace an existing paved road with a walkable greenbelt southeast of Preston Road and Spring Creek Parkway.
Plano City Council on July 27 approved the plans for the Promontory on Preston development, placing a limit of 264 apartment units on the project and requiring two-story apartment buildings be set back at least 75 feet from the homes to the south.
The apartments would be set off from nearby neighborhoods by a wide stretch of green space with walking paths. The green space would serve as a buffer between the proposed apartments and existing houses, replacing a stretch of Nueces Drive that runs north of the neighborhood.
Council members also signed off on an update to the city’s comprehensive plan, striking that portion of the street from the thoroughfare map.
