🚨 DEVELOPING: Plano City Council votes 8-0 to move forward with funding plan for proposed Dallas Stars arena. The vote means Plano voters will get the final say in November on a package of taxes and fees that would help fund the proposed $3 billion development near Willow Bend. The project would include a new Dallas Stars arena, along with restaurants, shops and public spaces. Plano is proposing to put $700 million toward the development through: — A short-term hotel occupancy tax — A short-term motor vehicle rental tax — An event parking tax — An admissions tax — A venue facility use tax The city says Plano property taxes would NOT increase to pay for the arena. But the proposal has drawn plenty of concerns from residents, especially over traffic. The city says more than 2,400 written comments came in during the public input process, with 84% focused on traffic. Parking, noise, light pollution and the impact on nearby neighborhoods have also been major concerns. Tonight’s vote does NOT approve the arena or its funding. It puts the funding plan on the November ballot, where Plano voters will have the final say. I’m at tonight’s meeting and will have more on what the vote means for Plano taxpayers and what happens next. @CBSNewsTexas
