Plano Approves Preliminary Plan for Preston Road Restaurant Redevelopment
Plano Planning and Zoning commissioners unanimously approved a preliminary site plan on December 1, 2025 for a proposed restaurant redevelopment in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Park Boulevard and Preston Road. The action moves the project to further design and entitlement steps, which will determine final approvals, construction timing, and local impacts for nearby residents and businesses.
Plano planning officials gave unanimous preliminary approval on December 1, 2025 for a restaurant redevelopment proposed in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Park Boulevard and Preston Road. The developer listed on the filing is Preston Gold EDENS LLC, and the site plan also calls for combining the two lots at the corner into a single development parcel. The commission s action authorizes the project to advance to additional design and entitlement steps, but final approvals and construction will hinge on later site plan submissions and the issuance of building permits.
Preliminary approval does not authorize construction. The decision instead gives the developer an official path to prepare detailed engineering, traffic and utility plans, and to seek the permits required for construction. Timelines for finishing those steps will depend on the scope of subsequent submissions and the pace of permit reviews by city staff and regulatory agencies.
For residents and local businesses in Collin County the most immediate implications are changes to traffic patterns, parking availability, and pedestrian access around a busy intersection. Redevelopment of a parking lot into a restaurant may reduce on site parking while increasing curbside demand at peak dining hours. The project could also alter stormwater flows and require upgrades to local utilities, matters that will be addressed in final site engineering approvals.
Economic and civic effects may be more positive in the longer term. A new restaurant can generate sales tax revenue, create local jobs, and draw additional foot traffic to nearby businesses. Combining the corner lots into a single development footprint may streamline construction and produce a design that better integrates with the streetscape and sidewalks.
As the proposal moves into the entitlement process, residents and business owners should monitor future site plan filings and public notices from the city to track traffic studies, utility plans, and permit schedules. Those documents will establish the specific mitigation measures and timelines that determine how the redevelopment will reshape the Park Boulevard and Preston Road corner.
