GHC 1385
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
The Planned Development District provides the ability to encourage and
accommodate the development of Retail and Office uses within the Town of Prosper.
Retail District uses will generally provide opportunities for retail and office
development, all in close association with intersections of future thoroughfares.
Facilities will include uses that relate to the geographic location and transportation
facilities that are proposed for this area.
Site characteristics of GHC 1385, such as topography, thoroughfare locations,
proposed uses and development opportunities will formulate a distinctive approach
for the Town's future. The Site is within the future growth corridor of FM 1385 that
will serve as a major access for areas to the north. Unlike the central and eastern
parts of the Town of Prosper major north -south transportation corridors are limited
in availability due to floodplains configurations and the greater distance between
existing Farm -to -Market Roads that would be expected to expand. Due to limited
access and greater spacing between existing state roads, the expected volume of
concentrated traffic patterns will provide a greater need for commercial, service, and
retail uses. FM 1385 being on the edge of the Corporate Limits hinders the Town's
future ability to capture the sales and property value tax dollars on such a semi -
regional circulation corridor. Limited number of roads intersecting with FM 1385
providing access east of FM 1385 toward the center of Prosper and the expected
regional parks will also cause this intersection to have high concentrations of traffic.
