DTX-PLN: Impact 10/14/2025

Plano city officials are discussing the future of city-owned properties at the northeast corner of Jupiter Road and Los Rios Boulevard.

Some context: After two prior development plans failed to move forward, the property is still zoned as multifamily. City Council requested city staff to bring the property before the Planning and Zoning Commission to determine if a zoning change would be appropriate. However, commissioners agreed to delay any immediate rezoning at their Oct. 6 meeting and put the property on the commission’s work plan as staff resources allow.

Zooming in: The property was previously proposed to include 22 single-family detached residences in a 2016 development plan and 80 multifamily units in a 2022 plan, according to city documents. After neither development moved forward, the city acquired the property in 2023. City officials are also considering the future of additional city-owned properties along Los Rios Boulevard and if that land and additional private property should be rezoned.
