About 724 acres of undeveloped land on McKinney's east side would come into the city zoned for light industry under three requests the Planning and Zoning Commission takes up Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The city itself is asking for the zoning. Each tract sits in McKinney's extraterritorial jurisdiction and is covered by a pre-annexation agreement signed in 2016, which allows the city to annex the land and assign it zoning once ten years have passed, according to staff reports posted with the agenda.
The three tracts
- About 398.6 acres roughly 420 feet east of Enloe Road and about 4,940 feet south of East University Drive (U.S. 380). The agenda lists the agreement under Map Holdings LP.
- About 175.9 acres roughly 810 feet north of FM 546, on the west side of County Road 722, listed under the Griffin Trust.
- About 149.8 acres at the northeast corner of Enloe Road and County Road 327, listed under McKinney Uplands LP.
All three would be zoned I1, the city's light industrial district, and each has airport property or land in the city's Airport District along its western edge.
Why staff supports it
Planning staff recommends approval of all three. The reports say the land falls in the Business and Aviation District of the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan, where the plan's Aviation, Manufacturing and Warehouse, and Employment Mix placetypes all support light industrial development. Staff wrote that the zoning should not harm neighboring properties.
