Plano officials unanimously approved a plan for 14.1 acres of residential development along Los Rios Boulevard.

The area was rezoned from estate development to planned development single-family residential homes at a City Council meeting April 27.

In a nutshell: The approved rezoned property is located north of Meadows Baptist Church and west of Plano East Senior High School.

Ziosk opened a new 16,000‑square‑foot service center in southeast Plano, according to an April 27 news release from the company.

The details: Ziosk manufactures tabletop tablets for customers to order and pay for foods at restaurants including Outback, Chili’s, Texas Roadhouse, Yard House and more.

The Dallas-based company’s new Plano center will create more than 20 job openings while “increasing capacity and streamlining operations,” the release states.

Construction is officially underway on the first phase of Grand Park, Frisco’s long-planned signature park near downtown.

What you need to know: City officials broke ground April 27 on the park, which will span over 1,000 acres just west of the Dallas North Tollway. Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney said Grand Park will be a “world-class park” and compared its scale to New York City’s Central Park, which covers about 843 acres.

Some context: He said Grand Park is one of Frisco’s “20-year overnight success stories,” as the project has been in the works since Frisco voters approved bond funding in 2006. Construction on the Grand Park was delayed for years as the city worked through environmental issues tied to the former Exide Technologies site nearby.

Quote of note: “Today is a true milestone in the future of Frisco,” Cheney said. “This is a generational gift for this community.”
