McKinney officials have agreed to terms for development of an industrial and multifamily development on 141 acres along US 75.

What happened: McKinney City Council members approved an annexation and zoning request for the land during a Dec. 2 meeting. The action comes after council members approved terms for annexation in July and formally approved a preannexation agreement in September.

The details: The new zoning will enable development of up to 900 apartment units and a minimum of 25 acres of light industrial uses, according to a development agreement. The terms also include that residential uses will not be allowed within any area of the property that’s zoned for nonresidential purposes.

The annexation and development terms were executed with One Longhorn Corporation and North Texas Natural Select Materials, both of which own the 141 acres.

Whataburger and Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers will be opening new spots inside Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. There is also one eatery that is leaving the airport. 

What's happening? A lease agreement with MultiRestaurants Concepts, LTD was discussed at the DFW Airport board meeting in November, while Cane’s confirmed a new location will be coming to the airport.

According to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the $2.17 million project started Dec. 8 and has an estimated finish of June 5. The 3,102-square-foot space is listed as a remodel/conversion.

Also of note: Work has started on Raising Cane’s first airport location, which will be Terminal B, near gate 19.  The hand-battered chicken fingers restaurant, based in Plano, started work on the new location in November, according to a spokesperson.

One more thing: The board approved a lease amendment with EatZi’s, which was located in Terminal D, at gate 5. The involuntary termination was due to the result of traffic patterns for new terminal F, according to board documents.
