Plano City Council Eyes 28 Actions Including Target Rezoning
A lengthy Plano agenda targets 28 items Monday night. Key vote hinges on Jack Hatchell to approve rezoning 14.3 acres north of FM 544 and Custer Rd for a 250000 square foot Target mall, or risk defeat without a three fourths majority. Public hearings also address Margaret Thompson’s backyard swimming lessons, traffic and noise concerns, and bids for a new Westside Natatorium on the Plano Senior High campus.
