HEB seeks rezoning in Carrollton, proposes major grocery campus
On December 4, 2025 Carrollton's city agenda included a rezoning request from HEB for a proposed roughly 120,000 square foot store at Parker Road and Josey Lane. The proposal, paired with an early staff recommendation for approval and a completed traffic impact analysis, raises questions about traffic, infrastructure and zoning outcomes for Collin County residents.
On December 4, 2025 a rezoning request from HEB appeared on Carrollton's agenda for a proposed roughly 120,000 square foot store at the northeast corner of Parker Road and Josey Lane. City documents describe site elements that would include a full service grocery, a pharmacy with drive through, covered curbside pickup spaces, an accessory gas station with car wash, and dining and restaurant space. The proposal would require rezoning of about 17.2 acres and city staff recommended approval based on materials circulated with the agenda. A traffic impact analysis was completed for the project as part of the application package.
The request is part of a broader North Texas expansion by HEB, which has opened locations in Prosper and Melissa and pursued other land acquisitions across the region. Large grocery proposals in the Dallas Fort Worth area have frequently prompted local debate over additional traffic, intersection capacity and the fiscal impacts of site specific infrastructure requirements. That context has shaped public response to recent major developments and will frame consideration of the Carrollton item.
Carrollton spans county lines, and this rezoning matter carries direct implications for residents in the Collin County portions of the city. Rezoning will determine allowable uses, development standards and potential conditions that could affect traffic patterns on Parker Road and Josey Lane, nearby property values, and access to grocery services. The accessory gas station and car wash element adds commercial intensity that may increase peak hour trips compared with a neighborhood oriented store.
The planning and zoning process will determine the next steps. Staff recommendations and the traffic analysis inform the record, but public comment, any recommended conditions, and final votes by Carrollton decision makers will shape whether the project advances and under what terms. Residents in Collin County portions of Carrollton should monitor upcoming meetings for dates of public hearings and final council actions, and expect discussion to center on traffic mitigation, potential road improvements, and zoning conditions tied to the site plan.
