Page 3 of 7
listed as public hearings will be recognized by the Mayor. Those wishing to speak
on a non-public hearing related item will be recognized on a case -by -case basis, at
the discretion of the Mayor and Town Council.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to rezone 2.5+ acres
from Downtown Retail (DTR) to Planned Development -Downtown Retail (PD-DTR)
to facilitate the development of a food truck park and outdoor entertainment venue
(Silo Park), located on the northeast corner of W. Broadway Street and McKinley
Street. (Z17-0009). (AG)
Planning Manager Alex Glushko presented this item before the Town Council. The
proposed PD would allow for the development of a food truck park and outdoor
entertainment venue. The site would include an area for up to six food trucks, a stage for
live entertainment, a children's play area, and a Beverage Center structure to
accommodate a bar, office space, and restrooms. The Town's Zoning Ordinance does
not currently address a food truck park as a permitted use; therefore, a PD has been
requested to allow for the use, and to address certain development standards associated
with the project.
The applicant has requested to deviate from certain requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to architectural, landscaping, and paving. After three years, the property owner
would be required to apply for a Specific use Permit to continue the use, which will give
the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council the opportunity to consider
continuation of the use as well as additional improvements to the development.
Mayor Smith opened the Public Hearing.
Clay Christie of Claymore Engineering spoke on behalf of the applicant, noting that the
project is intended to be a family -friendly venue.
Doug Walker, the owner/operator of the project, spoke regarding safety issues, noting that
the entire area would be fenced to ensure the safety of children, and also to comply with
the requirements of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC).
With no one else speaking, Mayor Smith closed the Public Hearing.
The Town Council expressed concern about the development of future retail in the area,
and the maximum occupancy for the property. Mr. Walker answered questions related to
access to the property, and Mr. Glushko stated that the Town's Fire Marshal confirmed
the Fire Code would allow a maximum of 2,500 people on the property. The property
would be subject to the Town's ordinances regarding noise complaints, though no special
permit would be required for the property to provide live music on site. Mr. Walker
confirmed that as the owner/operator, he would be responsible for obtaining an alcohol
permit from the TABC. The combined total of food sales from the food trucks on site would
be used to calculate the food sales requirement for the TABC. The Town Council
expressed a preference for the applicant to upgrade the fencing materials in the proposed
PD.
The Town Council discussed whether the applicant should be required to meet all
applicable architectural, landscaping, and paving requirements after the initial three-year
Page 4 of 7
period. After discussion, the Town Attorney suggested the Council include language in
the motion that would allow the ability to require additional standards in the future.
Councilmember Dugger made a motion and Councilmember Hodges seconded the motion
to approve the request to rezone 2.5+ acres from Downtown Retail (DTR) to Planned
Development -Downtown Retail (PD-DTR) to facilitate the development of a food truck park
and outdoor entertainment venue (Silo Park), located on the northeast corner of W.
Broadway Street and McKinley Street. Exhibit C shall be amended to add a new Section
c., to read as follows:
c. No later than six (6) months prior to the third anniversary of the Town's approval of
this ordinance, the owner/operator of the food truck park and outdoor entertainment
venue shall present to the Town a Specific Use Permit in full compliance with all Town
zoning and subdivision regulations, including but not limited to building construction
materials, landscaping, parking, fencing and related site development
requirements. Additionally, at the time the Town Council considers approval of this
ordinance, the applicant shall submit a revised fencing plan for Town Council approval.
The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0.
DEPARTMENT ITEMS:
8. Consider and act upon authorizing the Town Manager to execute a Roadway Impact
Fees Reimbursement Agreement between Longo Toyota of Prosper and the Town
of Prosper, Texas, related to the construction of Mahard Parkway to serve Longo
Toyota. (HW)
Hulon Webb, Executive Director of Development and Community Services, presented this
item before the Town Council. Longo Toyota is developing a car dealership on US 380
just west of Mahard Parkway and has constructed the portion of Mahard Parkway adjacent
to their property. Since the roadway is depicted on the Town of Prosper Thoroughfare
Plan, the actual costs for the design and construction of the improvements are eligible for
credit of roadway impact fees to be collected from the development. In addition, since
Mahard Parkway is included in the limits of TIRZ No. 2, the difference between the actual
costs for the design and construction of the improvements and the roadway impact fees
to be collected from the development, will be reimbursed in accordance with the terms of
the Development and Financing Agreement between the Town of Prosper and MSW
Prosper 380 LP. The total costs associated with this project will reduce the Maximum
Construction Payment outlined in the Development and Financing Agreement.
Mayor Pro-Tem Vogelsang made a motion and Councilmember Dugger seconded the
motion to authorize the Town Manager to execute a Roadway Impact Fees
Reimbursement Agreement between Longo Toyota of Prosper and the Town of Prosper,
Texas, related to the construction of Mahard Parkway to serve Longo Toyota. The motion
was approved by a vote of 5-0.
9. Consider and act upon an ordinance amending Division 2, "No -Parking Zones," of
Article 12.05, "Parking, Stopping and Standing," of Chapter 12, "Traffic and
Vehicles," of the Town's Code of Ordinances by adding a new Section 12.05.034,
"South Craig Road," to prohibit parking on a portion of South Craig Road south of
Judy Rucker Elementary School. (SG)

Steve Glass, Deputy Director of Engineering, presented this item before the Town Council.
Due to the potential for hazardous parking conditions along Craig Road between Rucker
Elementary and Preston Road, Town staff initially recommended a no parking zone in the
area; however, discussions with Prosper ISD are ongoing. Town staff requested the item
be tabled until the Town and PISD agree on a solution.

motion to table Item 9. The motion was approved by vote of 5-0.
