Plano North | April 2025

BY MICHAEL CROUCHLEY & COLBY FARR

Commission OKs Legacy West stage Water Street within Legacy West is set to become a new outdoor stage, pending approval from Plano City Council. The full story The zoning change calls for the eastern half of Water Street—which currently connects Windrose Avenue to Communications Park- way in Legacy West—to be converted into 0.18 acres of open space, which would become an outdoor stage, according to city documents. Plano Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for the zoning change during its March 25 meeting. The western half of the road would remain a private driveway with access to both Communications Parkway and Windrose Avenue, along with the adjacent parking garage, City Planner Destiny Woods said.

JCPenney HQ apartments recommended for approval

Planning officials have greenlit a preliminary site plan for a midrise apartment building to be built on Headquarters Drive in Plano. The gist The Plano Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to approve the preliminary plan during an April 7 meeting. The plan includes details on development of multifamily buildings spread across two different lots on the property. The mixed-use development was proposed by Capital Commercial Investments in 2024. Plano City Council approved a zoning request for the 107-acre property in November. Plans for revitalizing the former JCPenney headquarters, now known as The Park at Legacy, include a mix of retail, office and residential space, and a hotel. The preliminary site plan approved in April focuses on future midrise development on two lots in particular.
