The McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission convened on June 24, 2025, to discuss two significant zoning requests related to properties under a pre-annexation agreement from 2015. The meeting focused on the proposal to zone these properties as agricultural districts, allowing them to maintain their current use while providing flexibility for future development.

City staff recommended approval of both zoning requests, emphasizing that the agricultural zoning is the simplest option for the properties at this stage. The commission clarified that any future development would necessitate a new zoning application, which would be reviewed by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council.

During the public hearing, no community members expressed concerns or comments regarding the zoning requests. Following the discussions, the commission voted unanimously, with a 7-0 decision, to close the public hearing and approve the first zoning item. The second item, which followed a similar discussion, also received approval with a motion and second from commission members.

Both approved zoning requests will now be forwarded to the City Council for final action scheduled for July 2025. This meeting marks a step forward in the city’s planning efforts, ensuring that the properties can continue to operate under agricultural zoning while laying the groundwork for potential future developments.
