Celina City Council members approved a pair of items at a Nov. 11 meeting tied to a new senior living project planned along the future Legacy Drive.

What you need to know: Council members unanimously approved the annexation request for the 9-acre site. The zoning request to establish a planned development district with commercial, office and retail zoning was approved 5-1, with Mayor Ryan Tubbs voting against it, citing the buildings' height and concerns about emergency response times.

Zooming in: The project, NextGen Celina Senior Community, will include assisted living and memory care facilities on both sides of Legacy Drive. The west side will feature two three-story assisted living buildings with 142 one- and two-bedroom units, while the east side will include a two-story memory care and assisted living building with 55 units, according to city documents. 

Celina Fire Chief Shawn White said the development would be served by Celina Fire Stations Nos. 1 and 2, which have longer response times to that area.
