Changes considered near Oak Point Park Plano city officials are discussing the future of city-owned properties at the northeast corner of Jupiter Road and Los Rios Boulevard. 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. Some background The 7.8-acre property is currently zoned mul- tifamily due to a former development plan but is designated as “neighborhood” in the city’s future land use plan, according to city documents.

Retail planned at SH 121, Rasor Boulevard Plano residents could see a new car wash, convenience store and restaurant coming to the intersection of SH 121 and Rasor Boulevard. At an Oct. 6 meeting, Plano Planning and Zoning commissioners approved prelimi- nary plans for the proposed retail center. According to the site plan, the conve- nience store will have five gas pumps and the restaurant will include a drive-through.

Neither a 2016 single-family development plan nor a 2022 multifamily plan moved forward, and the city acquired the property in 2023. City officials are also considering rezoning additional city-owned properties along Los Rios Boulevard and the surrounding private properties at the intersection. Mike Bell, assistant planning director, said there are no “imminent plans for development” on the site, and the city does not intend to build a park or sell the property for multifamily development, which is why the zoning change is being discussed.
