DTX-MCK: Impact 10/22/2025

🚫 McKinney’s enacting new ordinances that will limit where people can sit, lie down or sleep in certain parts of downtown and the rest of the city.

What happened: McKinney City Council members passed the two ordinances during an Oct. 21 meeting more than a month after they were tabled. One ordinance would make it unlawful to lie down or sit in certain areas of downtown McKinney and another ordinance would make it unlawful to sleep in a vehicle overnight in certain areas of the city.

Council members voted 6-1 to approve the downtown-specific ordinance with council member Justin Beller voting against the motion. Council members voted 5-2 to approve the second ordinance regarding camping citywide with Beller and council member Geré Feltus voting against the motion.

More information: The ordinances are set to take effect after official posting, according to city officials. Both ordinances were passed with sunset clauses, meaning they will expire Oct. 21, 2026 if an extension is not approved by council members.
