Plano's Planning & Zoning Commission will take up a plat Monday night that would divide 13.3 acres on the west side of Los Rios Boulevard into 50 lots for single-family homes, with Meadows Baptist Church listed as the applicant.

The preliminary replat, called Meadows Brook Residential, sits about 1,120 feet north of Merriman Drive. Along with the 50 home lots it creates three open-space lots, according to the commission's Nov. 2 agenda. The land is already zoned Planned Development-44-Single-Family Residence-7, so the request is a plat, not a rezoning.

A companion item, also filed by the church, covers its own campus at the northwest corner of Los Rios and Merriman: a preliminary replat and revised site plan for a 14-acre lot for the religious facility, zoned Planned Development-173-Estate Development.

Both are listed as administrative cases. The agenda notes that administrative items must be approved if they meet the city's development regulations, while legislative items leave commissioners more discretion. Both are posted as public hearings.

Also on the agenda

  • Plano ISD school site: a replat of an 11.9-acre public school lot at the southeast corner of Independence Parkway and Parkhaven Drive, with the district as applicant.
  • Gas station: a preliminary site plan for a convenience store with fuel pumps on 2.8 acres at the northeast corner of Spring Creek Parkway and Parkwood Boulevard, on the consent agenda.
  • Warehouse: a site plan for a warehouse and distribution center with offices on 3 acres at the northwest corner of 10th Street and N Avenue, also on consent.
  • Comprehensive plan: a public hearing on the city's request to amend the comprehensive plan with updates to its Social Environment and Natural Environment pillars. This one is a legislative item.

Commissioners will also elect first and second vice chairs.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the Senator Florence Shapiro Council Chambers at the Plano Municipal Center, 1520 K Ave., and streams on PlanoTV.org. People who want to speak must register online at Plano.gov/SpeakerRegistration; registration opens at 5 p.m. Friday and closes at 4 p.m. Monday, and there is no on-site sign-up.
