Residents are now moving into some of these buildings. The Independence is located at 2150 Collin McKinney Parkway, McKinney. Nick Walsh, a developer with the NRP Group, which is developing the project, said The Independence is 100% leased. “The entire property leased up in under 60 days,” Walsh said in an email. “This is crazy record timing for a lease-up, and I think it goes to show the huge demand for workforce housing in McKinney.” The Independence o ers units ranging from one to four bedrooms and amenities, such as a swimming pool with
a sundeck, an outdoor playground, picnic areas, a tness center, controlled gated entrances, walk-in closets, washer and
dryer connections, and more. The development will provide
apartments to qualifying residents at a rent price below the market rate. Qualifying residents earn 50%-70% of the area median income, Walsh said. With the median income at $89,000 for a family of four, residents qualifying for the project would need to earn between $44,500 and $62,300. 877-849-4854. www.theindependencemckinney.com

UPCOMING PROJECT 4 Eldorado Parkway widening
The city of McKinney will widen a sec- tion of Eldorado Parkway from Custer Road to Orion Drive this spring. The road will be expanded from four to six lanes, including the bridge over Rowl- ett Creek. The project also includes construction of additional turn lanes at the intersection of Custer. Other improvements along the corridor are anticipated to occur simultaneously associated with the upcoming con- struction of an H-E-B, including ad- ditional turn lanes into the site along Eldorado and a new traffic signal east of Custer. Pending selection of a con- tractor, construction associated with the roadway widening is expected to begin in late spring and be completed in spring or summer 2023. During con- struction, the number of travel lanes will be reduced within the work zone. Timeline: spring 2022-spring/summer 2023 (estimated) Construction cost: $3 million (estimated) Funding sources: city of McKinney, McKinney Community Development Corp., private development

the city is working to gain voluntary compliance from the plants, the city web page states. In November, TXI submitted an amended complaint to the court. In this amended lawsuit against the city and the McKinney Board of Adjust- ment, TXI states the city “illegally downzoned TXI’s property without providing the constitutionally and statutorily required notice.” The city then began the amortization process to force TXI to stop operating, which TXI states in its lawsuit violates its “constitutional and property rights.” While TXI was able to set up its plant about two decades ago on its property that was zoned as a Heavy Manufacturing District, the land was rezoned in 2019 to a Regional O ce District, documents provided in the lawsuit show. TXI alleges that to lawfully change the zoning of its property, the city had to provide TXI written notice of each hearing before the planning and zoning commission, but that the city “failed to provide TXI with that requisite notice.” In addition, when the city scheduled public hearings with the board of adjustment on whether or not to initiate the amor- tization process, it again “failed to notify TXI of the hearings,” TXI said in the lawsuit. For this reason, TXI is seeking that the court nd the city’s actions null and void, as well as any relief to which TXI might be entitled, the complaint states. In November, the city responded
The city of McKinney is facing challenges with its e orts to close two concrete batch plants as a lawsuit from one of the plant’s owners claims the city’s methods are illegal. In the summer of 2020, the McKinney Board of Adjustment agreed that one of the plants, Martin Marietta Materials Inc., had until April 29, 2021, either to close or to come into compliance with the zoning ordinance for that area. In September 2020, the board approved a compliance date of Aug. 26, 2027, for the CowTown Redi-Mix concrete plant. The two plants, CowTown Redi- Mix and Martin Marietta, produce ready-mix concrete and operate on about 10 acres along SH 5, also known as McDonald Street. The city has been trying to close the plants and said in court doc- uments that it is doing so legally. The process—known as amortiza- tion—began earlier in 2020 with the identi cation of land uses that are not allowed under the current zoning, after which landowners are given time to shut down. However, TXI Operations, the owner of the Martin Marietta plant, is challenging the rulings from the McKinney Board of Adjustment. “The city is actively litigating and negotiating to uphold the city’s desire of relocating these plants from [SH] 5,” a city web page said about the status of the concrete plant closures. While court proceedings progress,

The operators are ghting the ruling. 2018: City issues citations to Martin Marietta for violating noise ordinance 2019: Martin Marietta’s equipment malfunctions, releasing cement dust onto nearby neighborhood 2020: McKinney Board of Adjustment rules to close the plants through amortization April 29, 2021: Date set by McKinney board for when Martin Marietta should have closed or come into compliance Nov. 5, 2021: Amended complaint submitted to court system against the city and McKinney Board of Adjustment Dec. 9, 2021: Court grants Martin Marietta’s amended complaint Aug. 26, 2027: Date set by McKinney board for when CowTown Redi-Mix should close or come into zoning compliance SOURCES: CITY OF MCKINNEY, U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS COMMUNITY IMPACT NEWSPAPER
to the lawsuit with partial oppo- sition to TXI’s amendment of its original complaint, since it con- tained additional information about a development agreement. The agreement discusses property TXI purchased in the city’s extraterrito- rial jurisdiction, which is land that the city has a right to annex, but has not yet done so. On the city’s web page about the concrete plants, it states that TXI pur- chased about 39 acres in early 2021 east of FM 536 and north of CR 317. City sta has noti ed TXI that before any development activity occurs on this property, it must be annexed into McKinney city limits, the site states. The city asked the court to deny TXI’s motion or to alternatively sever the claims pertaining to the development agreement. However, in December the court chose to grant TXI’s motion for an amended complaint, case documents show. CowTown Redi-Mix has also led a lawsuit against the city. It is pending in Collin County District Court. McKinney residents have led complaints over the years about noise, light and dust coming from the batch plants.

BUSINESS Wedding industry experiences ‘boom’ following pandemic lull

[legally] married,” said Klassen, former owner of the wedding venue Gather in DowntownMcKinney. While celebrations of love are on the rise, local industry experts have saidMcKinney is recovering from the e ects of the pandemic. “We’ve lost a lot of businesses because of COVID-[19], either because they didn’t have the nancial ability to withstand it or because they lost sta ,” Kidd said. Businesses that have survived the worst of the pandemic have had to adjust to prices increasing across the industry. The cost of oral arrange- ments has gone up, Kidd said. Most venues that are operating today pivoted in some way tomake it through the shutdowns. Historic Chestnut Square o ered elopements— outdoor ceremonies for 10 people or fewer—once the initial restrictions were lifted. When city ordinances allowed for 50% capacity, the historic village shifted to what Ducote calls “micro-weddings.” Those twomodi ed ceremonies are what allowed the nonpro t to stay a oat for most of 2020 and 2021, Ducote said. She added that even though Chestnut Square has been operating at full capacity for both its indoor and outdoor ceremonies, the elopements andmicro-weddings are still popular today. “There’s people still a ected by [the pandemic] nancially in their own personal lives,” Ducote said. “Instead of having a 200-person wedding, now they’re forced to do 50 people just
Withmore than 50 venues and a variety of wedding-related busi- nesses—bakers, bridal shops and orists—McKinney has been a wedding destination for years. Although the city was unsuccessful in a 2019 attempt to earn a state designation as theWedding Capital of North Texas, the wedding industry has continued to prosper, according to Visit McKinney, the city’s convention and visitors bureau. In fact, 2022 is a “booming” year for weddings, saidWendy Kidd, founder and owner of Each & Every Detail wedding planning inMcKinney. Nationwide, about 2.5 million cere- monies are scheduled for 2022. That is the most the country has seen in a year since 1984, according to TheWedding Report, a trade group that gathers data through a survey of vendors and con- sumers. The abundance of weddings is a sharp contrast to 2020, which only saw 1.27 million ceremonies. Each & Every Detail has nished work on all the weddings that were rescheduled due to COVID-19, Kidd said. Chestnut Square, a nonpro t McKinney venue with indoor and outdoor wedding packages, has one more reschedule to complete, said Kim Ducote, wedding and special event manager for the nonpro t. But many other vendors may be still working through reschedules, McKinney wedding planner Jennifer Klassen said. “A percentage of the 2022 weddings are really do-overs from [20]19 and 2020, and they’ve already gotten

because of budget. … So I think [the micro-wedding] helps for those folks that were a ected by it long-term.” Chestnut Square typically hosts anywhere from 70-90 weddings a year, according to data from the nonpro t. In 2018, the venue hosted 72 cere- monies. It hosted 78 in 2019. In 2020, there were 92 weddings at the historic village. That jump was due to hosting
multiple elopements per day, Ducote said. Last year, Chestnut Square hosted 81 weddings. Kidd advised couples to be patient with wedding sta during this unchar- acteristically busy time. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, we’re busy.’ It is more weddings than we’ve ever seen after two years of devastation,” Kidd said.

by 2045. Implementing automated transportation services is one of the many strategies the council is using to ght against future tra c congestion, council o cials said. The RTC’s March 14 presentation showed these projects will be located at Dallas College, Paul Quinn College and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport as well as in Fort Worth, Arlington, Richardson, McKinney and Dallas. RTC o cials stated they hope to expand these projects to other cities within the region as more opportuni- ties become available. “Once these projects are completed, we will have the most robust auto- mated and connected vehicle ecosys-
The Regional Transportation Council of the North Central Texas Council of Governments plans to fund a number of automated vehicle projects across the metroplex, including inMcKinney, starting sometime in 2023, planning documents show. Per a presentation at the council’s March 14meeting, it will spend over $30million on nine di erent projects related to automated vehicle technol- ogy in various cities across Dallas-Fort Worth as part of its long-termplans. The council is an independent pol- icy board made up of o cials from across the metroplex that oversees the transportation planning process for the region. It de nes auto- mated vehicles as those equipped with technology that allows them to o er driver assistance, parking assistance and full self-driving capabilities. The council estimates as part of its Mobility 2045 plan, the long-term guide for the region’s transportation needs, that the metroplex will grow to 11.2 million residents by 2045. The plan states this growth will put a large strain on the existing transportation system and that congestionmay increase dramatically. If no action is taken, the plan estimates congestion could cost the region an estimated $47.9 billion a year
Some of the Regional Transportation Council’s planned projects will be similar to the autonomous robots already used at The University of Texas at Dallas in Richardson.

an automated bus on DART’s Love Link route. The bus will operate between Dallas Love Field Airport and Inwood/ Love Field Station, a 4-mile round trip onmostly straight roads, according to the transit agency. “By working together, we can reduce the planning and procurement costs andmore easily share lessons learned,” according to a statement fromDarryl Spencer, DART’s senior assistant vice president of engineering. The McKinney-based project, Hail said, will focus on using self-driving vehicles to deliver basic medical services and supplies to residents in rural areas. The delivery-type projects being planned will be similar to the robots that currently deliver food from restaurants to students at The Univer- sity of Texas at Dallas in Richardson. In 2019, the university’s dining
department partnered with Starship Technologies to bring 30 food-deliv- ery robots to campus. Some of the self-driving vehicle projects would be like those started by Drive.ai, which previously operated in Frisco’s Hall Park as part of a collabora- tive testing program. Hail said most of these types of automated vehicle projects will continue to be tested and developed in smaller, controlled areas as the technology continues to change. But, he said, residents should know that self-driving freight trucks are already in widespread service. “That is already on the streets, already happening, and that’s a big deal,” he said. “Because it is easier to move things than people.” More about the council’s auto- mated vehicle projects can be found on its website.
