Council members voted unanimously to approve the zoning requests and annexations during a July 15 meeting. McKinney’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of the zoning requests in June.
The gist
The first request deals with about 16.9 acres of land located south of the Trinity Falls community. The land is undeveloped and is surrounded by undeveloped land to the south, east and west, according to a city document.
Directly north of the property is a planned development district zoned for commercial and multifamily development.
The second request deals with about 18.6 acres of land located between Spur 195 and SH 5. The land is also undeveloped and surrounded by undeveloped land on all sides, according to a city document.
The details
Both properties were subject to pre-annexation agreements that were signed in 2015, planning manager Caitlyn Strickland said. The agreements allowed for voluntary annexation after 10 years, according to city documents.
After the council's action, both properties are zoned for rural and agricultural uses. Any future development plans would require the land to be rezoned.
Annexation of either property is not expected to have a significant financial impact to the city, according to city documents. Both properties will be eligible for municipal services such as police and fire protection, solid waste collection and water services.
