Plano residents could see a new restaurant building coming to the corner of Park Boulevard and Preston Road.

The details: Plano Planning and Zoning commissioners unanimously approved Dec. 1 a preliminary site plan that included a “proposed restaurant redevelopment in the parking lot of an existing shopping center,” according to city documents. The site plan was submitted by Preston Gold (EDENS) LLC, according to city documents.

One more thing: City documents state the site plan also includes the proposed combination of two lots within the northeast corner of the intersection.

Yearby’s Barbecue and Waterice is set to open in Plano this weekend, bringing its halal barbecue menu to the corner of Alma Drive and Parker Road.

What you need to know: Owners Sabrina and CJ Henley are relocating the restaurant from Pilot Point and will begin a soft opening Dec. 6. For now, CJ Henley said the restaurant will operate Saturdays and Sundays only, and they hope to add additional days sometime in January.

What they offer: The barbeque joint offers brisket, homemade sausage, ribs and turkey, along with classic sides such as mac and cheese, street corn and potato salad. The menu also includes several varieties of waterice, a popular frozen dessert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The couple combined Sabrina Henley’s Philadelphia love of waterice with CJ Henley’s New Orleans roots and appreciation for barbecue.
