The Commission approved (6-0) a Specific Use Permit allowing a Lightbridge Academy child care center on about 2 acres near Legacy Drive and Frontier Parkway.

34-275 — other
This agenda item reviews landscaping and irrigation regulations in Code Section 34-275 that require developers to offer xeriscape options in new residential developments and provide model homes with xeriscape design. The ordinance also mandates specific soil preparation standards, turfgrass species requirements with summer dormancy, and irrigation system operation protocols approved by city conservation staff. Developers should be aware that dedicatory instruments cannot require irrigation system installation or turfgrass use, providing flexibility for water-efficient landscaping alternatives.
Screening Walls & Fences - Text Amendment — other
Celina is considering a citywide text amendment to Chapter 14 (Zoning), specifically the site development standards governing screening walls and fences, plus related zoning provisions. Because this changes the underlying rules rather than a single site, it could affect screening/fencing requirements on future commercial projects across the city. Developers should review the proposed language for potential cost or design implications on their sites.
Mac Haik Celina – PD Amendment — pd_amendment
This case seeks to amend the development standards for roughly 25 acres within the existing Planned Development No. 80 at the prominent NE corner of Dallas Parkway and Frontier Parkway. Because it modifies the terms of an existing PD ordinance rather than rezoning, developers active in this corridor should track how the modified standards may affect allowed uses, density, or design requirements. The specific modified standards are not detailed in the agenda text.
Child Care Center (Preston Glendenning) - Specific Use Permit — Child Care Center, Primary use
A Specific Use Permit was requested to allow a primary-use Child Care Center on about 2 acres near Preston Road and Glendenning Parkway in Celina.

Developers eyeing this parcel should note the withdrawal and that the site's underlying zoning is unchanged.

A Specific Use Permit is requested to allow an "Assembly, Other" use (an event center) on a roughly 0.24-acre portion of a 4-acre tract near Frontier Parkway and Preston Road. Developers of adjacent or complementary commercial uses should note that if approved, this SUP would enable an event/assembly venue in the Preston Corner area.

Uptown Commerce Center - PD Amendment — Amended development standards for PD No. 122; multifamily eliminated from this tract
This request amends the development standards on an approximately 28-acre portion of PD No. 122 at the southwest corner of Louisiana Drive and future J Fred Smith Parkway. Notably, staff indicated multifamily use would be eliminated from this tract, which matters to developers evaluating residential density or mixed-use potential in the Uptown Commerce Center area. The Commission approved the item 6-0 with no public opposition.
Yellow Door Storage - PD Zoning — Storage facility (single-story building)
A roughly 8-acre parcel west of FM 455 (future Legacy Drive) in Celina's ETJ is being rezoned to a Planned Development with Commercial/Office/Retail base zoning and modified standards for what appears to be a storage development. The applicant committed to a 40-foot landscape buffer from adjacent residences and a single-story building to address neighbor concerns about height and lighting. The Commission approved the item 6-0, so this site is on track for commercial/storage development near future Legacy Drive and O'Brien Drive.

309 S Colorado - Specific Use Permit — Office/Medical Office use (real estate office)
A Specific Use Permit was requested to allow an Office/Medical Office use on roughly 1 acre in Celina's Downtown Code – Verandas district; the applicant clarified the intended use is a real estate office. The P&Z Commission approved the SUP 7-0 but conditioned it to prohibit medical office use, so only general/real estate office is permitted. Two neighbors submitted letters of opposition, signaling some local sensitivity to commercial uses in this downtown residential-adjacent area.
Text Amendment - Ch14 Use Regulations — other
This is a citywide text amendment to Celina's Zoning Ordinance, revising Chapter 14, Article 14.03 (Use Regulations) and the Schedule of Uses, rather than a site-specific case. Because it changes what uses are permitted across zoning districts, developers should review the specific edits to see if their intended uses become newly allowed, restricted, or require different approvals. The P&Z Commission recommended approval 5-0 with no public opposition.
Ewing Buick GMC Dealership - PD Zoning — Buick GMC auto dealership
A ~20-acre tract at the SW corner of future Clear Creek Parkway and the future Dallas North Tollway is being rezoned to a Planned Development with Dallas North Tollway Overlay (DNTO) base zoning and modified development standards, for a Buick GMC auto dealership. The P&Z Commission recommended approval 5-0 with no opposition. Developers eyeing this high-visibility tollway frontage should note it is spoken for and the PD sets custom standards for the corridor.
Willard Tract (Silo Crossing) - PD Amendment — Amendment to PD No. 155 retaining SF-R, SF-A, and Commercial/Office/Retail base zoning with modified development standards
This is an amendment to the terms of existing Planned Development No. 155 (Silo Crossing/Willard Tract), which carries single-family detached, single-family attached, and commercial/office/retail base zoning, and modifies the development standards. It affects the site at the southeast corner of GA Moore Parkway and Louisiana Drive. The Commission approved the amendment 5-0, so developers with interests in this mixed-use tract should review the revised standards.
Hometown Paws Dog Daycare - SUP — Outdoor Kennel use

The Commission approved the item 5-0 with no public opposition, though Staff noted one inquiry about proposed noise levels. Developers of nearby residential or noise-sensitive uses should be aware that an outdoor dog daycare/kennel operation is now permitted at this location.
Text Amendment - Accessory Structures — other
This is a citywide text amendment revising Celina's Zoning Ordinance rules governing accessory structures (Chapter 14, Article 14.03, Part Two) and related sections. It changes the standards that apply broadly rather than affecting a single parcel, so developers with projects involving accessory structures should review the new regulations. The Commission approved the item 7-0.
7 Eleven - Specific Use Permit — Auto, Gas Pumps/Fuel use
A Specific Use Permit was requested to allow a gas station/fuel pump (auto) use on about 2 acres at the NE corner of Coit Road and Frontier Parkway. The P&Z Commission approved the SUP 7-0 with no opposition at the public hearing. Developers eyeing this corridor should note a 7-Eleven fuel station is now permitted here, affecting nearby traffic and competing retail/commercial plans.
Chapter 14 Use Regulations - Text Amendment — other
The city is considering a text amendment to its Zoning Ordinance, specifically Chapter 14, Article 14.03 (Use Regulations) and the Schedule of Uses.

Developers should review the specific proposed changes, which are not detailed in this agenda item.
