BACKGROUND

The subject property is located at the southwest corner of State Highway 121 and Alma Drive. The property to the west is zoned Planned Development No. 135 with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial. The properties to the south (across Ridgeview Drive) are zoned Planned Development No. 98 (PD-98) with a base zoning of Single-Family Residential 5 (R-5), PD-98 with a base zoning of Single-Family Residential 7 (R-7), Planned Development No. 67 (PD-67) with a base zoning of Townhome, and PD-67 with a base zoning of Local Retail. To the east of the subject property (across Alma Drive), the properties are zoned Planned Development No. 134 with a base zoning of Mixed Use MIX. The properties to the north (across State Highway 121) are within the City of McKinney municipal boundaries.

In January 2020, City Council adopted a Planned Development for a mixed use development known as The Avenue. The property incorporates uses such as single-family residential, urban residential, commercial, and office. In November 2020, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Preliminary Plat for the primary infrastructure (private streets, water, sewer, and storm water) of the development. The applicant has completed engineering plan review for this infrastructure and is proceeding with the Final Plat.

The subject Final Plat shows 79.285± acres of land subdivided into 14 lots. There are two points of access on State Highway 121 and two points of access on Alma Drive. Additional access points will be dedicated as needed with each lot's development. The plat shows the necessary easements and right-of-way dedications for the initial development of the property. The single-family residential project that was approved by Council in March 2021 is proposed for Lot 1, Block D. Once it has completed engineering plan review, a separate application for Replat would be required to subdivide the lots.

The Final Plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee, is generally consistent with the Concept Plan, and meets the requirements of the Allen Land Development Code.
