Grocery store, residences slated for McKinney, Prosper border
A grocery store, single-family homes, a multi- family development and other commercial uses are planned for a site in north McKinney. With a unanimous recommendation for approval from the McKinney Planning and Zoning Commission, McKinney City Council members approved the requested zoning change in a 6-1 vote at a March 18 meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Geré Feltus voted against the request. The specifics The 127-acre site, owned by Haggard Rhea Mills LLC, had a Planned Development zoning designa- tion that would allow for all of the proposed uses, except for multifamily development, according to a presentation at the meeting. The newly approved zoning is also a Planned Development zoning type, with a different distri- bution of the land uses across the site. The new zoning will allow for multifamily development on a portion of the site.

The grocery store brand is expected to be announced this summer, Palmer said. Palmer also noted that the commercial project would be developed first and could break ground later this year pending site plan approval, with both residential use types following. Preliminary plans for the multifamily project outline a three- to four-story development with about 300 units. The commercial development could open as soon as late 2026 or early 2027, he said. “We’re coming here with a grover-anchored development because of the phenomenal amount
