Is my property in a Planned Development, and does that change the rules?

It very likely is. Celina is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, and a live check of the city's GIS zoning layer (2026) found 143 distinct numbered Planned Developments (PD#1 through PD#164 and counting) covering roughly two-thirds of all mapped acreage citywide, versus about 20 base, legacy, and overlay district codes covering the rest. A PD's adopting ordinance sets its own base zoning district reference, permitted uses, and dimensional standards (setbacks, height, lot coverage, parking, and more), and those standards control over the base Zoning Ordinance wherever the PD ordinance addresses them; where the PD ordinance is silent, the base Zoning Ordinance fills in (Sec. 14.02.501). This pack's base-district rules do not apply as written to a PD-zoned parcel. Look up the property's PD number on the city's public GIS (celina-public-gis-celinatx.hub.arcgis.com) or with Development Services at 972-382-2682, then get that specific PD's adopting ordinance from the city's ordinance archive. This pack covers incorporated Celina only; Celina's ETJ and unincorporated Collin or Denton county land have no municipal zoning.

Full text: Celina ordinance on City-hosted PDF (Development Services document center); the Code of Ordinances is also on eCode360 (https://ecode360.com/CE6272) but the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 14) working copy the city links from its Codes & Ordinances page is this standalone PDF, most recently saved 2026-06-17 per its file metadata. eCode360 states it includes legislation through Ord. No. 2026-028 (adopted April 14, 2026), somewhat newer currency evidence than the PDF; the two platforms agree on Articles 14.01-14.04 (districts, uses, site development standards) but eCode360 carries an additional Article 14.05 (state law compliance, adopted 2019) absent from the PDF, and shows the PDF's OT and OT-R base-district sections as reserved with no text, deferring fully to the Downtown Code for those two districts. Applies to district: PD.
