Volunteers in Plano (VIP) teens spent June learning and helping others through a BINGO service game, aptly named PINGO. Fifty one teens gave to food pantries, wrote letters to senior citizens, supported the Plano Animal Shelter, learned with the Plano Public Library, explored city services and got tips for staying safe. Nabil Sikora shows his PINGO playing card above. Thank you VIP teens for playing PINGO!
Implement the Envision Oak Point Plan with New Zoning Districts
Share your input on two proposed zoning districts for Plano! The Neighborhood Business Design (NBD) and Residential Community Design (RCD) districts create walkable areas with low-rise buildings and appropriate green space. These districts also implement the Envision Oak Point plan and will guide the Plano Event Center zoning request.
Key details of the districts are:
NBD provides a mix of neighborhood-friendly retail and service uses.
RCD features small-lot housing options, offering additional housing variety in-between larger single-family lots and multifamily.
These districts complement one another and protect the unique character of the northeast portion of Plano, including established neighborhoods.
Plano Event Center is expected to be the first site to use these districts.
Provide input at the district public hearings and Plano Event Center zoning case:
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
Monday, July 20 – 7 p.m.
Comments can also be emailed to kendrac@plano.gov by noon on July 20.
