time frame in Section 146-164 of the City of McKinney Zoning Ordinance. Failure to post the notification sign(s) on the property
by the close of business (5 pm) on the Tuesday prior to the Tuesday Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing shall result
in the postponement of consideration by the Commission. Failure to maintain the signs prior to the City Council public hearing
may result in postponement of consideration if the applicant has not attempted to replace damaged or missing signs upon noti-
fication by Staff.
A complete guide to the requirements for posting Zoning Notification Signs is available on the Planning Department website.
