Developers have received final approval from McKinney leaders for a proposed car rental facility located west of North Central Expressway.
What happened?
McKinney City Council members unanimously approved a specific use permit request during a July 21 meeting. The permit enables development of an Enterprise Rent-A-Car facility on about 1.5 acres along James Pitts Drive.
The action comes after McKinney’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval in June. City staff recommended approval since the proposed layout and use meets all applicable city criteria, according to a city document.
“The proposed site layout complies with all of our other development standards and the comprehensive plan supports this use in this location,” Planning Director Lucas Raley said.
The details
Current development plans include construction of a 1,800-square-foot main building for renting cars and another 1,200-square-foot building for servicing rental cars, according to a site plan. The service building will not be open or available to the general public, according to a letter of intent.
The development is surrounded by different land uses on all sides. A hotel is located directly north, and a church is located directly south. Scott Johnson Middle School is located to the west, and vacant land zoned for commercial use is located to the east. Developers are planning for two access points to the property through an existing driveway located off James Pitts Drive.
