Redevelopment town hall to seek public input.
A slide from a presentation that Michael Quint, City of McKinney development services executive director, gave to the McKinney City Council on Jan. 24. It shows where the four city-owned properties that will be redeveloped are located in the historic downtown.
“We recognize that we have something unique and special in downtown McKinney right now, and I know that our citizens want to make sure that whatever is built here is a positive contribution,” Quint said.The current zoning for the four properties allows for a wide range of land use opportunities including townhomes, multi-family units, hotels, restaurants and personal services. Zoning allows for all properties to be up to five stories tall.
“We want to, if we can, get to a point where we’re looking at a couple of segments of the development market, and we only want those development groups to respond to us,” Quint said. “We need the public’s input to help inform and direct what type of partners that we’re ultimately going to start talking to.”Visual preference surveys will be displayed at the town hall to help gather input. The surveys use a variety of representative images on a board to gain consensus on public preference.
“Different pedestrian environments will speak to different people,” Quint said. “We’re trying to understand what concepts the majority of people in and around downtown want to see, and that’s something we’ll want to share with our development partner.”Residents will be able to engage in the redevelopment process multiple times, Quint said.
