Celina Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of new zoning for 91 acres that will be the site of a neighborhood to be called Legacy Branch at a meeting Aug. 21.
The details
If approved by Celina City Council, the zoning will be changed from agricultural to a planned development district. The item will be presented at the next council meeting Sept. 9, according to city documents.
The development is set to include 320 single-family lots. It will also feature concrete trails and sidewalks and open space for amenities like fire pits, grills, seating areas and a dog park.
About 51 acres in the development sit outside of the city limits in Celina’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. This land would be annexed into the city per a development agreement that was approved by Celina City Council in 2024.
The agreement outlines the future annexation and zoning of the property.
What they’re saying
“The new neighborhood offers a mix of lot sizes, incorporates open space and amenities, and helps extend needed infrastructure in the area,” said Dusty McAfee, Celina's director of development services.
