The McKinney Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted 7–0 on June 10 to recommend zoning approval for a major expansion north of Aster Park, the city’s 467‑acre master‑planned community.

What’s being proposed

• Location & land use: An additional 88 acres directly north of Aster Park are set for rezoning to allow single‑family homes. These lots will feature a minimum size of 6,000 sq ft under the city’s “R6” zoning regulations, with homes capped at 35 feet in height.
• Scale of development: The application submitted by Highland Homes outlines plans for about 300 new home lots, with groundbreaking anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026.

Next steps

• The rezoning proposal will go before the City Council for consideration on July 1, 2025.
• The ordinance will also include an annexation request for the additional acreage from the city planner’s office.

Background: Aster Park

• Originally approved in 2021, Aster Park was announced in 2022 by Hines and purchased by Starwood Land in April 2025 .
• The development spans 467 acres and includes over 1,100 single‑family homes from multiple builders. It offers a gated setting with a clubhouse, resort‑style pool, and 62 acres of open space .

Why this matters

• Meeting demand: The rezoning underscores growing demand for suburban single‑family homes in McKinney’s northeast sector.
• Smart planning: By integrating new housing northward, the city maintains cohesive land‑use planning and supports future transitions to non‑residential areas farther north.
• Timeline insight: With construction targeted for late 2025 or early 2026, prospective buyers and investors can anticipate lot availability in the near term.
