WhereWest side of County Road 722, about 810 ft north of FM 546, southeast McKinney next to the airport (AP district). Approximately 175.93 acres of undeveloped land now in McKinney's ETJ (no city zoning). Street address is not published.
Comment deadlinePassed: the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing was Tue Oct 13.

What's proposed

Give the land its first city zoning, "I1" – Light Industrial. The property is covered by a 2016 pre-annexation agreement that lets the city annex and zone it after ten years. The comprehensive plan designates it Aviation and Manufacturing & Warehouse, both of which support light industrial. No specific development is proposed.

Staff recommendation

"Approval" of I1 zoning. Staff says it conforms to the ONE McKinney 2040 plan and "should not negatively impact" the property or neighbors.

Who it helps or hurts

Adjacent single-family / residential ownersNeutral

The report lists no homes next to the site; all neighbors are undeveloped land or the airport.

Nearby commercial / land investorsHelped

About 176 acres become zoned for light industrial near the airport and FM 546.

Within about 1,000 feet

The airport (AP) and undeveloped land to the west; undeveloped AP and ML (Light Manufacturing) land to the south; undeveloped ETJ land to the north and east.

Watch for

  • This is staff-initiated zoning tied to annexation under the 2016 agreement. The annexation step itself is not described in this report.
  • I1 allows a broad set of industrial uses by right; there is no site plan or use restriction attached. Truck traffic on CR 722 and FM 546 is not addressed.
  • 0 letters of support, 0 of opposition, and no online comments so far.

Next step

The Commission's recommendation goes to City Council on Nov 3, 2026.
