Plano commission approves building expansion for Christ United Methodist Church

Plano’s Planning and Zoning commission approved an expansion for Christ United Methodist Church along Coit Road at a meeting May 18.

The gist

The commission approved a revised site plan for the church for a new building expansion, a porte cochere and to adjust site circulation per city documents. The commission also approved changing fire lane, water and utility easements for the building’s expansion.

The expanded entrance is part of an effort to create a more welcoming environment and improve hospitality, according to the church website. Church renovations come from its For Generations capital campaign, which funds long-term projects to sustain the ministry.

Also of note

The commission also approved additional land for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located at 3401 Los Rios Blvd. A portion of abandoned right-of-way has been incorporated into the property along Los Rios Boulevard.

Plano City Council recently approved 50 new single-family homes to be constructed on 14.1 acres of land near the church.
