After months of revisions and back-and-forth with nearby residents, the Plano City Council unanimously approved a rezoning request that will bring new single-family housing to East Plano.
The 8–0 vote clears the way for about 50 homes on 14.1 acres owned by Meadows Baptist Church near Los Rios Boulevard and Merriman Drive.
The approval shifts the property from large-lot estate zoning—requiring two-acre lots—to smaller single-family homes ranging from 7,000 to 9,000 square feet.
Planned Development Used to Lock in Commitments
The project was approved as a planned development (PD), allowing the city to enforce specific design and layout commitments made during the review process.
