Plano Commission Approves 12.3 Acre Retail Center at Promontory on Preston

The Plano Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously on December 15 to approve an updated concept plan for the Promontory on Preston mixed use development, clearing the way for a 12.3 acre shopping center at the southeast corner of Spring Creek Parkway and Preston Road. The approved plan calls for a grocery store anchored center plus five additional retail and restaurant buildings as part of the larger master plan originally approved in 2020.

The property is an infill parcel within the broader Promontory on Preston project, which already includes a Kohl’s, a Chase Bank, and a multifamily complex. The commission action advances the retail portion of the master plan toward detailed site plans and permitting, a sequence of approvals that would be required before construction can begin.

For Collin County residents and Plano shoppers the project promises expanded retail and grocery access in west Plano, potentially reducing travel for everyday needs and attracting new restaurant options. The retail center will also generate construction phase activity and longer term employment in store operations and services. At the same time the location at a busy intersection means the project will carry implications for traffic management, road capacity, and neighborhood circulation that city staff and future permit reviews will need to address.

The unanimous vote signals broad commission support for the updated concept within the parameters of the original 2020 approval. However the concept plan approval is a preliminary step. Developers must still secure detailed site plan approvals, comply with engineering and stormwater requirements, and obtain building permits. Those reviews are the forum where traffic mitigation, parking, landscaping, and other site specific conditions will be finalized.

As the project moves through the permitting process, residents and nearby businesses can expect notices and opportunities to comment during public reviews of site plans and related permits. The addition of a grocery anchored shopping center at this infill site underscores ongoing development pressures in west Plano and the role of municipal review in balancing growth, infrastructure capacity, and community needs.
