What can I build on this property?

It depends on the base zoning district and, more importantly, on whether the property sits inside an individually numbered Planned Development (PD). Most developed land in Celina is zoned through a PD rather than a base district, and the PD's own adopting ordinance controls over the base Zoning Ordinance. The base districts are established in Sec. 14.02.101: single-family SF-E, SF-R, SF-A, SF-M, and OT-R; multi-family MF-1, MF-2, MF-3; non-residential CF, C, I, AG, and MU; and the Downtown district OT. Each group has a schedule of uses: Sec. 14.03.101 (residential) and Sec. 14.03.102 (multi-family and non-residential), marking uses permitted, requiring a Specific Use Permit, conditioned, or not allowed. Start by confirming the zoning district and any PD number on the city's public GIS (celina-public-gis-celinatx.hub.arcgis.com) or with Development Services at 972-382-2682. 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 districts: SF-R, C.
