A city-initiated overhaul of Plano's sign regulations is back on the Planning & Zoning Commission's agenda for Monday, Oct. 19, two weeks after staff asked to hold it.
The case would amend Article 22 of the zoning ordinance, the chapter that governs signs, along with related sections. At the Oct. 5 meeting, staff asked commissioners to table it, writing that unanticipated changes to the amendment needed more discussion and legal review to make sure the updates meet all legal requirements.
Staff said then it expected the open questions to be settled by Oct. 19.
The commission's preliminary open meeting that evening lists a 15-minute closed session for legal advice on signs. Neither the agenda nor the earlier staff report spells out what the rewrite would change.
Other items on the agenda
- Apartments at 14th and Rigsbee: A preliminary site plan for 31 multifamily units on 2.8 acres at the southwest corner of 14th Street and Rigsbee Drive, filed by Lantana Investments LLC, is on the consent agenda. The land is zoned Retail.
- Preston and Parker: In a public hearing, 3516 Preston LP asks to amend the planned development covering 31.3 acres at the northeast corner of Preston Road and Parker Road to raise the total square footage allowed for retail and service uses in one tract.
- Baylor Plano and Collin College: Revised site plans for the 34.7-acre Baylor Medical Center campus at Plano Parkway and Allied Drive and for Collin College's 97.5-acre Spring Creek Campus on Spring Creek Parkway are also on the consent list.
- Parks: The city has a site plan for a park and playground on 5.3 acres at La Costa Drive and Bermuda Dunes Drive, plus a replat tied to park land at Independence Parkway and Maumelle Drive.
- An assisted living facility is proposed on 0.7 acre on Town Bluff Place north of Parker Road, pending zoning variances.
Several of the site plans are listed for administrative consideration, which under the agenda's own note means they must be approved if they meet city development rules. The sign rewrite and the Preston and Parker request are legislative decisions that give commissioners more discretion.
