Multifamily zoning case heads to McKinney City Council

McKinney City Council members will consider new zoning in June for a proposed multifamily development located between Eldorado Parkway and Stonebridge Drive.

What happened: McKinney’s Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend new zoning for a 14-acre property during a May 12 meeting.

If approved by council, the property would be zoned as an “MF36” multifamily residential district, according to the city document. The zoning accommodates apartment communities and enables development of up to 36 units per acre, according to McKinney’s Unified Development Code.

The context: The property is surrounded by commercial uses to the north and northeast, and office uses to the south and west, according to the city document. An assisted living facility called Village on the Park is located east of the property.

What's next: The zoning case will be forwarded to McKinney City Council for final consideration and action June 2, according to a city document.

Key Information
Early voting in Texas’ primary runoff election begins May 18. Here’s what to know.

After dozens of Texas primary races ended without a clear winner in March, candidates for those seats will face off in an overtime round, known as a runoff election, this month. Texans can vote early in the runoff election from May 18-22, with election day May 26.

How it works: State law requires that primary candidates receive more than 50% of the votes cast to advance to a general election.

In the May 26 runoff election, Republican and Democratic voters will choose who they want to represent them in statewide offices, legislative and Congressional seats, the State Board of Education and county-level positions. The winner of each runoff race will appear on the ballot in November.

On the ballot: The statewide Republican runoff races include:

  • U.S. Senate: John Cornyn and Ken Paxton
  • Texas attorney general: Mayes Middleton and Chip Roy
  • Texas railroad commissioner: Jim Wright and Bo French

The statewide Democratic runoffs are:
  • Texas attorney general: Nathan Johnson and Joe Jaworski
  • Texas lieutenant governor: Vikki Goodwin and Marcos Vélez
