\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPlano\u2019s Planning and Zoning commission approved an expansion for Christ United Methodist Church<\/a> along Coit Road at a meeting May 18.<\/p>\n

The gist<\/p>\n

The commission approved a revised site plan for the church for a new building expansion, a porte cochere<\/a> and to adjust site circulation per city documents<\/a>. The commission also approved changing fire lane, water and utility easements for the building\u2019s expansion.<\/p>\n

The expanded entrance is part of an effort to create a more welcoming environment and improve hospitality, according to the church website<\/a>. Church renovations come from its For Generations capital campaign, which funds long-term projects to sustain the ministry.<\/p>\n

Also of note<\/p>\n

The commission also approved additional land for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a> located at 3401 Los Rios Blvd. A portion of abandoned right-of-way has been incorporated into the property along Los Rios Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Plano City Council recently approved<\/a> 50 new single-family homes to be constructed on 14.1 acres of land near the church.<\/p>\n
