Development Review
New Code McKinney
The City of McKinney is updating its development regulations, which will include Chapters 142 (Subdivision) and 146 (Zoning), and other chapters of the McKinney Code of Ordinances related to land development, most of which were originally adopted 37 or more years ago. The primary goals of the project are to update the regulations to make them clearer and more enforceable, and to implement the ONE McKinney 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Draft Development Regulation Sections
The update process is split into four parts; Administration and Procedures, Zoning Districts and Uses, and Development Standards, and Consolidation Draft of the New Code.
Anticipated timeline and available drafts:
- Administration and Procedures Draft - posted November 2020
- Zoning Districts and Uses – posted March 2021
- Development Standards – posted September 2021
- Draft New Code McKinney - posted June 2022
Short-Term Priority Amendments
As part of the New Code McKinney initiative (development regulation overhaul), city staff and the consultant team hosted a number of internal and external meetings, interviews, and discussions related to the existing development regulations in McKinney and presented a Code Assessment Report in early 2020. Based on the feedback received, the Code Assessment Report identified several immediate areas of opportunity where amendments to the existing could be made in the short term to improve the clarity, flexibility, usability, and implementation of the Code of Ordinances. Most recently City Council has approved amendments to Vehicle Parking and Signs. The amendments became effective on March 16, 2021, and were reviewed at the following meetings:
