City receives tourism friendly certification The city of McKinney was designated as a tourism friendly city by Travel Texas, a mar- keting program within the Texas Governor’s Economic Development and Tourism Office. The Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community designation was announced April 30. The program was created to encourage Texas communities to pursue tourism as an economic development strat- egy, according to Travel Texas’ website.
Murphy USA Station planned for US 380 gets OK A new Murphy USA fuel station is planned at the northwest corner of University Drive and College Street. McKinney City Council members approved a
zoning request for the fuel station during an April 15 meeting following a round of public comments that saw three residents speak in opposition and one resident speak in support of the project. Council members voted 5-1 to approve the zoning request. Council Member Geré Feltus voted against approval of the request. The specifics The new zoning enables alternative develop- ment standards for the fuel station including reductions in requirements for residential setback distance, street buffer width and distance of passenger vehicle fuel sales from residential prop- erties. Single-family residential uses are located to the north and east while land to the south and west is zoned for commercial use.
The project site currently holds an existing o ce building that’s surrounded by di erent land uses.
COLBY FARR/COMMUNITY IMPACT
City staff recommended denial of the zoning request, according to city documents. Council member Justin Beller said he was in support of the redevelopment project, which is located along US 380 and within his council district. “In terms of the investment we need in the community, this is what we need,” he said.
“These designations affirm our city’s dedication to fostering creativity, culture and community.” AARON WERNER, VISIT MCKINNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
