Text Amendment - Chapter 14 — other
The City is proposing to amend its Zoning Ordinance, specifically Chapter 14 (Zoning) and Article 14.01 (Administration), along with related sections. This text amendment may affect zoning code requirements and administrative procedures city-wide.
Lightbridge Academy Daycare - SUP — Child Care Center, Primary use
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. This clears the way for daycare development at the site, which is relevant if you own or are targeting nearby commercial/residential parcels seeking complementary or competing uses. Note one letter of opposition was received, though it did not stop approval.
Text Amendment - Lighting Standards — other
The city is proposing a text amendment to Chapter 14 (Zoning), Article 14.04 Site Development Standards, Part Five: Lighting Standards, and related sections. This is a citywide ordinance change rather than a project-specific case, so any developer building in Celina should track it because updated lighting requirements could affect site design, exterior lighting, and compliance costs. The specific proposed changes to the lighting standards are not detailed in the agenda text.
Mesa Verde - PD Zoning — Single-family residential detached
A request to rezone roughly 40 acres to a Planned Development with single-family detached base zoning and modified development standards, located east of Celina Parkway and south of CR 59 in the city's ETJ. Relevant to residential developers seeking flexible standards for detached housing on the growing east side of Celina. Note the site is in the ETJ, not fully within city limits, which may affect entitlement and annexation considerations.
Robinson - PD Zoning — Mixed use, single-family residential detached, and commercial
A large ~528-acre tract east of Celina Parkway is proposed for a Planned Development with mixed use, single-family detached, and commercial zoning plus modified development standards. This is a substantial master-planned project in Celina's ETJ that could reshape the surrounding area and create significant residential and commercial opportunity. Developers active in North Celina should track it for competitive positioning, market absorption, and adjacency effects.
Janet H. Calvert ES #8 Ramble CISD - Zoning — rezoning
A ~10-acre parcel in Celina's ETJ (roughly 900 ft east of future Coit Road, 600 ft south of CR 101) is proposed for Community Facilities (CF) zoning, consistent with a Ramble CISD elementary school (ES #8). Developers with nearby residential or commercial plans should note the incoming school, which can drive demand for housing and support services but may also affect traffic patterns and future land-use around the site.
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.
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. The applicant withdrew the item and no action was taken, so this site remains without SUP approval for child care use. Developers eyeing this parcel should note the withdrawal and that the site's underlying zoning is unchanged.
Preston Corner Lot 8 - Building 3 Event Center - SUP — Assembly, Other (Event Center)
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. Note the text reflects prior meeting minutes (April 16, 2026) where a similar item passed 6-0, suggesting a favorable local reception to the use.
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.
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.
Murphy USA - SUP — Auto, Gas Pumps/Fuel use
A Specific Use Permit was requested to allow a gas station/fuel pump use on about 2 acres at the northeast corner of Frontier Parkway and Preston Road. The P&Z Commission approved the SUP by a 5-1 vote after a public hearing with no public comment. Developers targeting this high-visibility intersection should note a fuel/convenience use is now permitted here.
Child Care Center (Preston Glendenning) - SUP — Child Care Center, Primary use
A Specific Use Permit is being sought to allow a primary-use child care center on roughly 2 acres near the intersection of Preston Road and Glendenning Parkway. Developers interested in this high-traffic corridor should note that SUP approval would establish a daycare use on the site, which could affect adjacent land uses, traffic patterns, and compatibility for nearby commercial or residential projects.
Preston Corner Lot 8 – Building 3 Event Center – SUP — Assembly, Other (event center)
A Specific Use Permit is being sought to operate an "Assembly, Other" use (an event center) on a roughly 0.24-acre portion of a larger 4-acre tract near the Preston Road/Frontier Parkway corner in Celina. This is a use-approval on an existing parcel rather than a rezoning, so it signals event-center/assembly activity coming to this commercial node. Developers with adjacent or competing hospitality/retail interests should note the added traffic and evening-use profile an event center may bring.
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.
Uptown Commerce Center – PD Amendment — pd_amendment
The city is considering amending roughly 28 acres of the existing Planned Development No. 122 to apply modified development standards. Developers with interests near the southwest corner of Louisiana Drive and the future J Fred Smith Parkway should track this, as changes to the PD's standards could alter allowable uses, densities, or design requirements on this parcel.
Murphy USA - Specific Use Permit — Auto, Gas Pumps/Fuel use
A Specific Use Permit is being requested to allow a gas station/fuel pump use on roughly 2 acres at the prominent northeast corner of Frontier Parkway and Preston Road. Developers eyeing nearby retail or commercial sites should note the potential addition of a fuel-based auto use at this high-traffic intersection. The requested zoning district, current zoning, and staff recommendation are not stated in the agenda.
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.
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
A Specific Use Permit is requested to allow an Outdoor Kennel (Hometown Paws Dog Daycare) on about 2 acres located east of Oklahoma Drive, roughly 1,000 feet south of Ash Street, inside Celina city limits. 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.
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.
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. Because this changes which uses are permitted and under what conditions citywide, it could affect what a developer can build or operate on any parcel in Celina. Developers should review the specific proposed changes, which are not detailed in this agenda item.
Willard Tract (Silo Crossing) – PD Amendment — pd_amendment
The city is considering amending existing Planned Development No. 155, which carries Single-Family Detached (SF-R), Single-Family Attached (SF-A), and Commercial/Office/Retail (C) base zoning, with modified development standards. Developers with interests in mixed residential or commercial projects at this GA Moore Parkway/Louisiana Drive site should track how the revised standards affect allowable uses, density, and design requirements.
Hometown Paws Dog Daycare - Specific Use Permit — Outdoor Kennel
A Specific Use Permit is requested to allow an outdoor kennel use on roughly 2 acres east of Oklahoma Drive, about 1,000 feet south of Ash Street. Developers with nearby projects should note the potential for an outdoor dog daycare/kennel operation, which can raise noise and buffering considerations for adjacent parcels. This is a use-permission request, not a rezoning, so the underlying zoning district is unchanged.
