(PD-SF), generally to allow for a private residential development and retirement housing
development. The applicant is proposing 2 subdistricts. The proposed sub-districts are Tract 1
(Residential Tract) 61.43 acres which follows SF-10 based zoning and allows a maximum of 141
single family dwellings. Tract 2 (Retirement Tract) 11.98 acres which creates its own standards
and allows 2 retirement housing developments. In addition, the applicant is proposing entry points

Staff has concerns with the compatibility regarding the lot sizes in comparison to surrounding area
as well as non-compliance with the future land use plan per the comprehensive plan.
Park Place, a subdivision to the east, allows for 206 single family residential lots (12,500sqft
minimum) with a based zoning of Single Family-12.5 (SF12.5)
Toward the west and north, Windsong Ranch allows Types A-F which range in size from 6,000sqft
to 20,000sqft. More specifically, Windsong Ranch Phase 9 toward the north has 92 single family
residential lots (Min 9,000sqft) and Windsong Ranch Phase 6A toward the west has 102 Single
Family residential lots (18 Type A – Min 8,000sqft, 3 Type B – Min 9,000sqft and 81 Type E – Min
6,000sqft). Although Windsong Ranch has some smaller lots adjacent to the subject property, the
master planned community provides amenities, green spaces and around 700 lots above the min
12,500sqft.
Tract 2 – Retirement Tract
14
Item 4.
Page 4 of 7
The applicant is proposing a maximum of 2 retirement housing facilities and created its own
development standards below:
Per the zoning ordinance, the definition is listed below for Retirement Housing.
Retirement Housing means a building or group or buildings consisting of attached or detached
dwelling units designed for the housing of age-restricted residents. In addition to housing, this
type of facility may provide services to its residents such as meals in a central dining room,
housekeeping, transportation and activity rooms. The facility shall not be licensed as an assisted
living center or a skilled nursing home.
Although retirement housing has its own definition, it is considered a form of multi-family. Per the
Planned Development all development shall conform to the definition above. If a Multi-family use
without age-restricted residents is a proposed, a rezoning request will be required.
Town-wide Multi-family Units - In addition, there are currently 6,197 multi-family units entitled
through zoning approvals in the Town (please see map below). Considering the town-wide entitled
units, staff has concerns with allowing more multi-family within the Town of Prosper per the
Comprehensive Plan.

Item 4.

Item 4.
Page 6 of 7
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Residential Medium Density.
Residential Medium Density includes lot sizes that range between 12,500sqft and 20,000sqft in
size. The density ranges between 1.6 dwelling units and 2.5 dwelling units. The proposed zoning
request does not conform to the Comprehensive Plan. The companion item is a Future Land Use
Plan Amendment to revise the FLUP to reflect High Density Residential (CA21-0004).
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is bounded to the west by Teel Parkway and north by Prosper
Trail.
Parks Master Plan – Currently, the Parks Master Plan does not identify a park on the subject
property. A 10’ trail will be provided along Teel Parkway and Prosper Trail.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to approve
the request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners as required by state law.
To date, staff did not receive any response to the proposed zoning request.

Town Staff Recommendation:

Trail. However, Staff is recommending denial of the zoning request due to multi-family use, lot

Land Use Types
Residential Low Density
This land use is indicative of large-lot single-
family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes
within any low density development will range
between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size.
While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the
total gross density of low density residential
neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling
units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a
continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel
that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s
residents. Most low density residential areas
will be located in Northwest and Northeast
Prosper.
Residential Medium Density
Medium density residential is also
representative of single family detached
dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density
residential neighborhoods could range between
12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A
variation in lot sizes may be permitted to
achieve a goal range in density. While a variety
of lot sizes may be used within medium density
residential neighborhoods, the gross density of
such developments will typically not be less
than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than
2.5 dwelling units per acre.
40
Item 4.
28 Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Residential High Density
High density residential represents the most
intense residential land uses permitted in
Prosper. High density single family uses will
consist of developments greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller
than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the
high-density residential district is reflective of
the Artesia development, where single family
residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre
will be substantially higher than the rest of the
community. High density residential may be
located within the Dallas North Tollway,
Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town
Districts. In such areas, high density residential
may take the form of multifamily or single
family attached dwelling units and may include
mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes,
snout houses, brownstones and townhomes.
Retail and Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood services typically include retail
establishments that provide merchandise for
retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and
small medical offices. Retail uses are
particularly important because they contribute
to Prosper’s tax base through both property
and sales taxes, making their inclusion
attractive and often times competitive. Within
Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely
occur at major intersections along the Dallas
North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road
corridors. Neighborhood service uses should
also be strategically placed along the Town’s
perimeter in order to attract patrons from
neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax
revenue opportunities. The majority of
neighborhood service activity within Prosper
will likely be included within the Dallas North
Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old
Town districts.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Dallas North Tollway District
The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of
the most intense land uses within Prosper. A
diverse mixture of office, retail and residential
will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise
office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted
throughout the corridor. Office buildings
should be designed for a “campus feel”—they
should be oriented towards common public
space with significant landscaping and should
be linked by a pedestrian network. A common
architectural theme should also be established
for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use
development should be encouraged and should
contain a mixture of office, retail and residential
uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the
most appropriate residential use within this
district. Structured parking should be
encouraged in more intense areas to limit the
presence and visibility of large parking lots.
Structured parking should be oriented in a way
that minimizes visibility from the Tollway.
Highway 380 District
Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the
Highway 380 district will contain a variety of
different uses. The major contrast between
Highway 380 and other districts will be the
inclusion of a big box development and
commercial service uses. Types of appropriate
commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle
refilling stations with a convenience store,
home service centers with outside storage,
garden center with outside storage and other
similar uses which serve the community but are
not necessarily desired on Preston Road or
within the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Residential land uses may be appropriate within
certain areas, particularly away from major
intersections where retail and commercial will
be the highest and best land use. Residential
land uses may include patio homes, snout
houses, townhomes and brownstones. These
residential areas may serve as a buffer between
more intense activity along Highway 380 and
low density residential areas to the north.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Town Center District
The Town Center district is a continuation of the
area defined by previous planning efforts as a
future location for a large scale mixed-use
development. The Town Center would include
a mixture of land uses but development will be
less intense than that located along Highway
380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small
scale office, and residential uses would be
included within this district, but the primary
intent should be focused on dining and
shopping. Public space should be a major
component of this area, creating space for
families and residents of Prosper to meet and
socialize. Open space located within the Town
Center could be used for community events,
festivals and school events. Urban design
should accommodate the pedestrian while
providing automobile access and discreet
parking. Residential uses may include mixed-
use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes
and brownstones. Areas of single family
residential may also be permitted, particularly
on the northern side where the development
abuts the Old Town district.
Old Town District
The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper.
This historic area of the community is intended
to include a variety of boutique type land uses,
ranging from unique and local retail
establishments, restaurants and offices. Many
of the historic homes within the Old Town
district, particularly areas along First Street and
Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique
office and retail establishments. The most
opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if
desired by future residents, would be within the
Old Town district, which could facilitate
redevelopment of the downtown area. If this
occurs, high density residential options, such as
live-above lofts/apartments, may be
considered. The historic past of the community
should be preserved. The community’s
beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin
County are part of what defines Prosper, and
these attributes should be preserved as new
infill development occurs.

Business Park
A Business Park district, located to the west of
the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and
First Street, will include a variety of potential
land uses including light industrial, commercial
warehousing, office storage and commercial
uses with outside storage. While outside
storage will likely occur and be necessary within
this district, significant effort should be placed
on the visual integrity of the district, particularly
when located in higher visibility areas. When
such uses abut roadways, larger landscape
setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include
berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be
used to protect the visual integrity of roadways
and the public view. All outside storage should
also be screened from public view and from
adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF
railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North
Tollway provide the Business Park with
significant accessibility. Uses located along First
Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas
should incorporate a higher degree of
landscaping and architectural design in order to
protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s
roadways.

From: David Soto, Planning Manager
Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 18, 2023
Agenda Item:
Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to amend the Future Land Use
Plan from Residential Medium Density to Residential High Density, generally located on the
southeast corner of Prosper Trail and Teel Parkway. This is a companion case to Z21-0010.
(CA22-0001).
Description of Agenda Item:
Town staff has received a request to rezone 69.9± acres from Agriculture (A), a portion of Planned
Development-40 (PD-40), and a portion of Single Family-12.5 (SF-12.5) to Planned Development-
Single Family (PD-SF), generally to allow for a residential development and retirement housing
development, located northside of Prosper Trail and west of Dallas Parkway. (Z21-0010)
Rezoning requests, which do not conform to the Future Land Use Plan shall be accompanied by
a request to amend the Future Land Use Plan. The Comprehensive Plan document anticipates
the Town will encounter “development proposals that do not directly reflect the purpose and intent
of the land use pattern as shown on the Future Land Use Plan map.”
Land use districts designated on the Future Land Use Plan are intended to depict general areas
where land uses are considered appropriate for an area, and such districts are not intended to be
parcel specific. If the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council believe the property
located on the southeast corner of Prosper Trail and Teel Parkway is more appropriately classified
as High Density Residential on the Future Land Use Plan, then it would be appropriate to
reclassify the property.
See below for proposed plan amendment. Images of the existing and proposed amendment are
shown below.

Comprehensive Factors
Changes in overall development patterns that deviate from the Plan’s recommendations could
impact the ultimate capacity of the community.
The Plan states, “it should be incumbent upon the applicant making such a proposal to provide
evidence that the proposal meets the aforementioned considerations, supports community goals
and objectives as set forth within this Plan, and represents long term economic and/or social
benefits for the community as a whole, not just a short-term financial gain for whoever is
developing the project.”
The applicant provided the attached letter (attachment 3), in response.
The document recommends that “development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future
Land Use Plan map (or that do not meet its general intent)” should be reviewed based on the
following questions and should be reviewed on their own merit. Please see the response to each
criteria listed below.
1. Will the proposed change enhance the site and the surrounding area?
Yes. We are proposing homes that are similar in size or larger than many of the homes in this area.
And, because the retirement living site is located at the southeast corner of Teel Parkway (future six
lane major thoroughfare) and Prosper Trail (future four lane minor thoroughfare) and being
surrounded by single family residential, we feel that this is a wonderful location/opportunity to
create a development that serves existing and future neighborhoods by making retirement housing
an available option which will make a positive impact in this part of Prosper.
2. Is the proposed change a better use than that originally envisioned and depicted on the Future
Land Use Plan map?
Yes. The current land use map shows this area as medium density residential. That said, the
majority of the existing residential in this area is classified as high density. The proposed retirement
living provides an additional housing option for a different age group that is compatible with the
existing and proposed single-family residential.
3. Will the proposed use impact adjacent residential areas in a negative manner?
No. The retirement living will provide a place where grandparents can be close to their children and
grandchildren. In some cases, the residents of the retirement living will be in walking distance of
their families.
4. Will the proposed use be compatible with and/or enhance adjacent residential uses?
Yes. The proposed single-family residential use already exists. The retirement living will enhance
the surrounding area by providing an additional form of housing that local families and residents
can take advantage of. The retirement living will only be one-story, and the architecture and
building materials will be similar to what is being built in Prosper Hills.
5. Are uses adjacent to the proposed use similar in nature in terms of appearance, hours of
operation, and other general aspects of compatibility?
47
Item 5.
Page 4 of 3
The single-family residential will blend right into the neighborhood. The retirement living facility
hours of operation will be on par with single-family residential. The building(s) will be single-story
and constructed of similar materials (note that stucco will not be allowed in the retirement living
portion of this development).
6. Does the proposed use present a significant benefit to the public health, safety, welfare and/or
social well-being of the community?
Yes. The single-family homes will build upon the reputation of the existing homes already built in
this part of town. The retirement living will provide a place where multiple generations can live
closer together
7.Would it contribute to the Town’s long term economic stability?
Yes. More rooftops will add to the town’s tax base and the retirement living will provide an option
for retirees who want to downsize but stay close to everything they love about Prosper.
The Plan also recommends that “it is important to recognize that proposals not directly consistent
with the Plan could reflect higher and better long-term uses than those originally envisioned and
shown on the Future Land Use Plan map for a particular area. This may be due to changing
markets, demographics and/or economic trends that occur at some point in the future after the
Plan is adopted. If such changes occur, and especially if there are demonstrated significant social
and/or economic benefits to the Town of Prosper, then these proposals should be approved and
the Future Land Use Plan map should be amended accordingly.”
Legal Obligations and Review:
The Town Council is required to hold a Public Hearing prior to acting on an amendment to the
Future Land Use Plan.

There are two options for a recommendation, subject to the action taken on the companion case
for the amendment to the Future Land Use Plan (CA22-0001).

Commission should recommend approval of the rezoning request.
2. If the Town Council recommends denial of the amendment to the Future Land Use Plan, the
Council should recommend denial of the rezoning request.

beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin
County are part of what defines Prosper, and
these attributes should be preserved as new
infill development occurs.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Business Park
A Business Park district, located to the west of
the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and
First Street, will include a variety of potential
land uses including light industrial, commercial
warehousing, office storage and commercial
uses with outside storage. While outside
storage will likely occur and be necessary within
this district, significant effort should be placed
on the visual integrity of the district, particularly
when located in higher visibility areas. When
such uses abut roadways, larger landscape
setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include
berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be
used to protect the visual integrity of roadways
and the public view. All outside storage should
also be screened from public view and from
adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF
railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North
Tollway provide the Business Park with
significant accessibility. Uses located along First
Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas
should incorporate a higher degree of
landscaping and architectural design in order to
protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s
roadways.

square feet), and Type B (7,200 Square feet).
The applicant has also provided a conceptual development site plan which establishes the most
general guidelines for the district by identifying the project boundaries, land use types,
approximate thoroughfare locations, approximate roadway locations and right-of-way dedications.
The applicant has provided standards for both types of lots.

Item 6.
Page 3 of 4
Staff has concerns with compatibility regarding the lot sizes in comparison to the recommended
density as well as noncompliance to the future land use plan per the comprehensive plan.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Residential Low Density.
Residential Low Density includes lot sizes that range between 15,000sqft and 1+ acre in size.
The density range shall not exceed 1.6 dwelling units. The proposed zoning request does not
conform to the Comprehensive Plan. The companion item is a Future Land Use Plan Amendment
to revise the FLUP to reflect High Density Residential.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is bounded to the west by FM 1385 and to the south by Noles
Road.
Parks Master Plan – Currently, the Parks Master Plan does not identify a park on the subject
property. A 10’ trail will be provided along FM-1385 and along the northern property boundary.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to approve
the request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners as required by state law.
To date, staff have not received any response to the proposed zoning request.

Item 6.
Page 4 of 4
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town Staff analyze the request and understand that this area will be developed as residential.
However, Staff is recommending denial of the zoning request due to the potential impact of
increased density on our infrastructure and services, and noncompliance with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Town Council Public Hearing:
Upon a recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission, a Public Hearing for this item
will be scheduled for the Town Council at their Regular meeting on May 9, 2023.

STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
PROSPER OAKS – PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SINGLE-FAMILY
The purpose of this Planned Development District is to provide a lower density, high-end home
option to people in the FM-1385 area. Currently, the average lot size is 6,000 square feet; so a
7,500 square foot and 8,750 square foot lot size would give homebuyers a more premium option
while not being so large of a lot as to be made unaffordable.
The subdivision will feature an amenity center complete with playground and pool, green spaces,
as well as a hike and bike trail that will tie-in to the Town’s overall trail system. This will allow
for residents to enjoy nature, exercise, and feel connected to the Town.
A new middle school is currently under construction directly south of the development, and
elementary school is only 1-mile away, making this a perfect location for families. This
development is designed for those who would like a more active lifestyle while maintaining
close proximity to their children’s schools.
The development is located on the East side of FM-1385 approximately 1.6 miles North of US-
380. This proximity to US-380 ensures a quick path for residents to reach retail and commercial
spaces. While the buffer distance from US-380 ensures that noise pollution is kept to a
minimum, which appeals to the target demographic of nature enjoying families.
The development district standards fit in with developments in the proximity with comparable lot
sizes and amenities. This development will also act as a transition area in terms of lot sizes as the
Town grows from a school site to the south to larger residential lots to the north. Development
Standards are provided to ensure the provision of a quality planned development over time.

Land Use Types
Residential Low Density
This land use is indicative of large-lot single-
family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes
within any low density development will range
between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size.
While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the
total gross density of low density residential
neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling
units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a
continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel
that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s
residents. Most low density residential areas
will be located in Northwest and Northeast
Prosper.
Residential Medium Density
Medium density residential is also
representative of single family detached
dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density
residential neighborhoods could range between
12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A
variation in lot sizes may be permitted to
achieve a goal range in density. While a variety
of lot sizes may be used within medium density
residential neighborhoods, the gross density of
such developments will typically not be less
than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than
2.5 dwelling units per acre.

Residential High Density
High density residential represents the most
intense residential land uses permitted in
Prosper. High density single family uses will
consist of developments greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller
than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the
high-density residential district is reflective of
the Artesia development, where single family
residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre
will be substantially higher than the rest of the
community. High density residential may be
located within the Dallas North Tollway,
Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town
Districts. In such areas, high density residential
may take the form of multifamily or single
family attached dwelling units and may include
mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes,
snout houses, brownstones and townhomes.
Retail and Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood services typically include retail
establishments that provide merchandise for
retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and
small medical offices. Retail uses are
particularly important because they contribute
to Prosper’s tax base through both property
and sales taxes, making their inclusion
attractive and often times competitive. Within
Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely
occur at major intersections along the Dallas
North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road
corridors. Neighborhood service uses should
also be strategically placed along the Town’s
perimeter in order to attract patrons from
neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax
revenue opportunities. The majority of
neighborhood service activity within Prosper
will likely be included within the Dallas North
Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old
Town districts.

Dallas North Tollway District
The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of
the most intense land uses within Prosper. A
diverse mixture of office, retail and residential
will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise
office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted
throughout the corridor. Office buildings
should be designed for a “campus feel”—they
should be oriented towards common public
space with significant landscaping and should
be linked by a pedestrian network. A common
architectural theme should also be established
for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use
development should be encouraged and should
contain a mixture of office, retail and residential
uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the
most appropriate residential use within this
district. Structured parking should be
encouraged in more intense areas to limit the
presence and visibility of large parking lots.
Structured parking should be oriented in a way
that minimizes visibility from the Tollway.
Highway 380 District
Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the
Highway 380 district will contain a variety of
different uses. The major contrast between
Highway 380 and other districts will be the
inclusion of a big box development and
commercial service uses. Types of appropriate
commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle
refilling stations with a convenience store,
home service centers with outside storage,
garden center with outside storage and other
similar uses which serve the community but are
not necessarily desired on Preston Road or
within the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Residential land uses may be appropriate within
certain areas, particularly away from major
intersections where retail and commercial will
be the highest and best land use. Residential
land uses may include patio homes, snout
houses, townhomes and brownstones. These
residential areas may serve as a buffer between
more intense activity along Highway 380 and
low density residential areas to the north.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Town Center District
The Town Center district is a continuation of the
area defined by previous planning efforts as a
future location for a large scale mixed-use
development. The Town Center would include
a mixture of land uses but development will be
less intense than that located along Highway
380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small
scale office, and residential uses would be
included within this district, but the primary
intent should be focused on dining and
shopping. Public space should be a major
component of this area, creating space for
families and residents of Prosper to meet and
socialize. Open space located within the Town
Center could be used for community events,
festivals and school events. Urban design
should accommodate the pedestrian while
providing automobile access and discreet
parking. Residential uses may include mixed-
use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes
and brownstones. Areas of single family
residential may also be permitted, particularly
on the northern side where the development
abuts the Old Town district.
Old Town District
The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper.
This historic area of the community is intended
to include a variety of boutique type land uses,
ranging from unique and local retail
establishments, restaurants and offices. Many
of the historic homes within the Old Town
district, particularly areas along First Street and
Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique
office and retail establishments. The most
opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if
desired by future residents, would be within the
Old Town district, which could facilitate
redevelopment of the downtown area. If this
occurs, high density residential options, such as
live-above lofts/apartments, may be
considered. The historic past of the community
should be preserved. The community’s
beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin
County are part of what defines Prosper, and
these attributes should be preserved as new
infill development occurs.

Business Park
A Business Park district, located to the west of
the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and
First Street, will include a variety of potential
land uses including light industrial, commercial
warehousing, office storage and commercial
uses with outside storage. While outside
storage will likely occur and be necessary within
this district, significant effort should be placed
on the visual integrity of the district, particularly
when located in higher visibility areas. When
such uses abut roadways, larger landscape
setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include
berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be
used to protect the visual integrity of roadways
and the public view. All outside storage should
also be screened from public view and from
adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF
railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North
Tollway provide the Business Park with
significant accessibility. Uses located along First
Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas
should incorporate a higher degree of
landscaping and architectural design in order to
protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s
roadways.

Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 18, 2023
Agenda Item:
Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to amend the Future Land Use
Plan from Residential Low Density to Residential High Density, generally located on the east side
of FM-1385, north of US-380. This is a companion case to Z22-0011. (CA22-0001).
Description of Agenda Item:
Town staff has received a request to rezone 66.7± acres from Agriculture (A) to Planned
Development-Single Family (PD-SF), generally to allow for a residential development, is located
on the east side of FM-1385, north of US-380. (Z22-0011)
Rezoning requests, which do not conform to the Future Land Use Plan shall be accompanied by
a request to amend the Future Land Use Plan. The Comprehensive Plan document anticipates
the Town will encounter “development proposals that do not directly reflect the purpose and intent
of the land use pattern as shown on the Future Land Use Plan map.”
Land use districts designated on the Future Land Use Plan are intended to depict general areas
where land uses are considered appropriate for an area, and such districts are not intended to be
parcel specific. If the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council believe the property
located on the east side of FM-1385, north of US-380 Parkway is more appropriately classified
as High Density Residential on the Future Land Use Plan, then it would be appropriate to
reclassify the property.

Comprehensive Factors
Changes in overall development patterns that deviate from the Plan’s recommendations could
impact the ultimate capacity of the community.
The Plan states, “it should be incumbent upon the applicant making such a proposal to provide
evidence that the proposal meets the aforementioned considerations, supports community goals
and objectives as set forth within this Plan, and represents long term economic and/or social
benefits for the community as a whole, not just a short-term financial gain for whoever is
developing the project.”
The applicant provided the attached letter (attachment 3), in response.
The document recommends that “development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future
Land Use Plan map (or that do not meet its general intent)” should be reviewed based on the
following questions and should be reviewed on their own merit. Please see the response to each
criteria listed below.
Will the proposed change enhance the site and the surrounding area?
o The proposed use will enhance the surrounding area by providing larger than the
surrounding 6,000 SF lots by keeping that nature connecton feel to the area. This
lot size will be ideal for families looking for an afordable home in a great locaton
Is the proposed change a better use than that originally envisioned and depicted on
the Future Land Use Plan map?
o The proposed change in use is optmal to te-in the surrounding areas (smaller lots)
to the larger residental lots to the North. The proposed subdivision will enhance
the value of the surrounding community because of the higher-end homes the
development will bring in. The proposal for a Planned Development will utlize
existng nature, hike & bike trails, and green spaces to ensure compatbility and
connectvity with adjacent residental uses. Measures and parameters such as
landscaping and bufering will allow a harmonious transiton from 6,000 SF lots to
larger residental lots to the North and keeping the nature feel to the surrounding
area.
Will the proposed use impact adjacent residential areas in a negative manner?
o The proposal for a Planned Development will not impact any of the surrounding
areas in a negatve way. Negatve impacts will be avoided by the implementaton of
careful site planning, use restrictons, and development parameters. There is a
92
Item 7.
Page 4 of 3
natural barrier with the existng creek separatng this development from the medium
density housing to the East.
Will the proposed use be compatible with and/or enhance adjacent residential
uses?
o Adjacent uses are residental and a planned middle school to the South. The
proposed Architectural style of homes will blend with the general look of the
surrounding areas. These homes will be higher-end homes with premium
architectural features and cladding to support the desired look and standard of the
Town of Prosper. The playground and pool will have reasonable operatng hours
to ensure noise nuisance is avoided during the later hours of the day. Since the
proposed use will not be drastcally diferent than the surrounding areas, there
should not be any concern for disrupting the surrounding residental communites.
Are uses adjacent to the proposed use similar in nature in terms of appearance,
hours of operation, and other general aspects of compatibility?
o Adjacent uses are residental and a planned middle school to the South. The
proposed Architectural style of homes will blend with the general look of the
surrounding areas. These homes will be higher-end homes with premium
architectural features and cladding to support the desired look and standard of the
Town of Prosper. The playground and pool will have reasonable operatng hours
to ensure noise nuisance is avoided during the later hours of the day. Since the
proposed use will not be drastcally diferent than the surrounding areas, there
should not be any concern for disrupting the surrounding residental communites.
Does the proposed use present a significant benefit to the public health, safety,
welfare and/or social well-being of the community?
o The proposed use presents signifcant beneft to the public health, safety, welfare
and/or social well-being of the community by encouraging more cohesive families
to migrate to the area who want their kids to atend schools close to their homes.
This will te the community together and create a family friendly environment, which
will keep the higher standard of family living in the Town of Prosper “prospering”
for years to come. Higher standards of living with stable families, is the key to long
term economic success. This development will only help push the Town of Prosper
forward with growing in the most stable ways to ensure positve economic stability
and longevity.
Would it contribute to the Town’s long-term economic stability?

The Plan also recommends that “it is important to recognize that proposals not directly consistent
with the Plan could reflect higher and better long-term uses than those originally envisioned and
shown on the Future Land Use Plan map for a particular area. This may be due to changing
markets, demographics and/or economic trends that occur at some point in the future after the
Plan is adopted. If such changes occur, and especially if there are demonstrated significant social
and/or economic benefits to the Town of Prosper, then these proposals should be approved and
the Future Land Use Plan map should be amended accordingly.”

FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
Vee Prosper Oaks Development
Vee Development Company requests an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Town
of Prosper Comprehensive Plan. The FLUM calls for Low Density Residential development. Through
extensive site planning and due diligence, it was determined that physical characteristics of the site and
surrounding area land uses make this property an ideal location for higher density residential
development (7,500-8,750 SF) for both prospective homeowner desirability and economic viability.
The location of this property creates the perfect opportunity for a larger lot size than the average in the
area (6,000 SF) to provide high-end homes for families who want a more premium option than what is
available in the area. The density of lots in the proposed subdivision will help provide the necessary
yields to develop the property and stimulate more opportunity for development in this area.
The proposed expansion of FM 1385 will be more than adequate to mitigate any traffic issues with the
proposed higher density subdivision. The location of this development being 1.6 miles North of U.S. 380,
ensures a quick path to major thoroughfare’s with the ability to reach retail and commercial spaces.
While the distance is a short 1.6 mile drive down to 380, this is more than enough distance from the
development to prevent noise pollution from U.S. 380, which appeals to the target demographic of
nature-enjoying families.
The development will feature an amenity center, with a playground and pool, green spaces, as well as a
hike and bike trail that will tie-in to the Town of Prosper’s overall trail system. These amenities will allow
for residents to still enjoy nature and connect with the town and surrounding community. With a new
middle school directly south of the subdivision and an elementary school only 1-mile away, this
development is designed for those families who like to enjoy a more active outdoor lifestyle while still
being in close proximity to their children’s schools.
The PD would ensure that the standards with the proposed subdivision fit in with the developments in
the proximity with comparable lot sizes and amenities. This development will also act as a transition area
in terms of lot sizes as the Town grows from a school site to the South to larger residential lots to the
North.
97
Item 7.
Please consider the following considerations from the Comprehensive Plan in evaluating
amendment to the FLUM to accommodate the proposal:
• The proposed use will enhance the surrounding area by providing larger than the surrounding 6,000 SF
lots by keeping that nature connection feel to the area. This lot size will be ideal for families looking for
an affordable home in a great location.
• The proposed change in use is optimal to tie-in the surrounding areas (smaller lots) to the larger

Land Use Types
Residential Low Density
This land use is indicative of large-lot single-
family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes
within any low density development will range
between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size.
While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the
total gross density of low density residential
neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling
units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a
continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel
that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s
residents. Most low density residential areas
will be located in Northwest and Northeast
Prosper.
Residential Medium Density
Medium density residential is also
representative of single family detached
dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density
residential neighborhoods could range between
12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A
variation in lot sizes may be permitted to
achieve a goal range in density. While a variety
of lot sizes may be used within medium density
residential neighborhoods, the gross density of
such developments will typically not be less
than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than
2.5 dwelling units per acre.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Residential High Density
High density residential represents the most
intense residential land uses permitted in
Prosper. High density single family uses will
consist of developments greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller
than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the
high-density residential district is reflective of
the Artesia development, where single family
residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre
will be substantially higher than the rest of the
community. High density residential may be
located within the Dallas North Tollway,
Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town
Districts. In such areas, high density residential
may take the form of multifamily or single
family attached dwelling units and may include
mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes,
snout houses, brownstones and townhomes.
Retail and Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood services typically include retail
establishments that provide merchandise for
retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and
small medical offices. Retail uses are
particularly important because they contribute
to Prosper’s tax base through both property
and sales taxes, making their inclusion
attractive and often times competitive. Within
Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely
occur at major intersections along the Dallas
North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road
corridors. Neighborhood service uses should
also be strategically placed along the Town’s
perimeter in order to attract patrons from
neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax
revenue opportunities. The majority of
neighborhood service activity within Prosper
will likely be included within the Dallas North

Dallas North Tollway District
The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of
the most intense land uses within Prosper. A

office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted
throughout the corridor. Office buildings
should be designed for a “campus feel”—they
should be oriented towards common public
space with significant landscaping and should
be linked by a pedestrian network. A common
architectural theme should also be established

development should be encouraged and should
contain a mixture of office, retail and residential

most appropriate residential use within this
district. Structured parking should be
encouraged in more intense areas to limit the
presence and visibility of large parking lots.
Structured parking should be oriented in a way
that minimizes visibility from the Tollway.
Highway 380 District
Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the
Highway 380 district will contain a variety of
different uses. The major contrast between
Highway 380 and other districts will be the
inclusion of a big box development and
commercial service uses. Types of appropriate
commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle
refilling stations with a convenience store,
home service centers with outside storage,
garden center with outside storage and other
similar uses which serve the community but are
not necessarily desired on Preston Road or
within the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Residential land uses may be appropriate within
certain areas, particularly away from major
intersections where retail and commercial will
be the highest and best land use. Residential
land uses may include patio homes, snout
houses, townhomes and brownstones. These
residential areas may serve as a buffer between
more intense activity along Highway 380 and
low density residential areas to the north.

Town Center District
The Town Center district is a continuation of the
area defined by previous planning efforts as a
future location for a large scale mixed-use

a mixture of land uses but development will be
less intense than that located along Highway
380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small
scale office, and residential uses would be
included within this district, but the primary
intent should be focused on dining and
shopping. Public space should be a major
component of this area, creating space for
families and residents of Prosper to meet and
socialize. Open space located within the Town
Center could be used for community events,
festivals and school events. Urban design
should accommodate the pedestrian while
providing automobile access and discreet

use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes
and brownstones. Areas of single family
residential may also be permitted, particularly
on the northern side where the development
abuts the Old Town district.
Old Town District
The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper.
This historic area of the community is intended
to include a variety of boutique type land uses,
ranging from unique and local retail
establishments, restaurants and offices. Many
of the historic homes within the Old Town
district, particularly areas along First Street and
Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique
office and retail establishments. The most
opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if
desired by future residents, would be within the
Old Town district, which could facilitate
redevelopment of the downtown area. If this
occurs, high density residential options, such as
live-above lofts/apartments, may be
considered. The historic past of the community

Phases 7F and 7G of Windsong Ranch include Type A and Type B lots. This section of Windsong
Ranch is being constructed under the Courtyard Home Option. Tellus and Tradition Homes would
like to amend PD-40 and amend the Development Agreement to allow Tradition Homes to build
their Modern Farmhouse (“E” Elevations) in Phases 7F and 7G. PD-40 currently includes
language that allows Modern Farmhouse elevations to be constructed on Type C, Type D, and
Type F lots. More specifically, Type C, Type D and Type F lots, 30 % of those lots were allowed
100% to be built with Cementitious fiber board. This request is to allow those lots on Type and B.
In addition to the building materials, the applicant is requesting a landscape maintenance facility.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Medium Density Residential.
The proposed zoning request conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is bounded to the west by Teel Parkway and north by Prosper
Trail.
Parks Master Plan – Currently, the Parks Master Plan does not identify a park on the subject
property.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to approve
the request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners as required by state law.
To date, Staff has not received any response to the proposed zoning request.

EXHIBIT “C”
Development Standards for Windsong Ranch, Town of Prosper, Texas
Conformance with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance: Except as
otherwise set forth in these Development Standards, the regulations of the Town’s Zoning
Ordinance (Ordinance No. 05-20 as it currently exists or may be amended) and
Subdivision Ordinance (as it currently exists or may be amended) shall apply.
1. Amenity Program
a. General. As a master planned community, Windsong Ranch will have a
programmed and qualitatively controlled system of amenities throughout. These
amenities combine to create an overall sense of place that would be difficult to
achieve when considered as independent elements within smaller developments.
The community amenities that are addressed within these Development Standards
are:
• Primary Community Entries
• Secondary Community Entries
• Neighborhood Entries
• Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers
• Community Park
• Community Amenity Center
• Floodplain / Greenway Parks
• Neighborhood Parks
• Pocket Parks
b. Primary Community Entries
a. Major points of entry into Windsong Ranch (minimum two locations,
including at least one entry along U.S. 380) will be defined with a
combination of monument signage, landscape and lighting to create a
sense of arrival commensurate in scale and character with a 2,120.54 acre
master planned community (see representative examples below). These
entries will include:
• Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage
element, to be constructed of masonry or similar material;
• Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental
trees;
• Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique
aspects of the landscape;
• Water will be considered as an accent feature if land and topography
permit, and if compatible with the overall physical design theme for
the community.
120
Item 8.
b. Primary entries will be developed to incorporate both sides of the entry
roadway when both are contained within Windsong Ranch, and will also
include enhancements to the median in the immediate area (where / if
applicable). Landscape easements will be provided to ensure adequate
space to provide for visibility triangle(s) and adequate development of entry
design.
c. Secondary Community Entries
a. Secondary community entries will be similar to primary community
entries in their use of compatible building and landscape materials, but will
be smaller in scale and land area. They will occur at the outside edges of
Windsong Ranch, at the entries for either arterials or collectors into the
community. It is anticipated that a minimum of three secondary entries will
be provided for the community, primarily along Teel Parkway (see
representative examples below). Secondary community entries will include
the following elements, scaled slightly smaller than the primary entries:
• Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage element,
to be constructed of masonry or similar material;
• Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental
trees;
• Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique aspects
of the landscape;
• Center median to allow for more landscape density and also provide
alternative location for neighborhood identification and way-finding
graphics;
• Landscape easements where required to accommodate enhanced
landscape and monument construction.
b. Neighborhood Entries. Internal to Windsong Ranch and along both
arterials and collectors, points of intersection will be enhanced to denote
entries into individual ‘villages’ or neighborhoods. These entries will
resemble primary and secondary entries in their use of materials and
121
Item 8.
landscape, but will also incorporate village or neighborhood names and will
contribute to a unique, community-wide system of visual way finding.
d. Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers (Arterial and Collector Roads) - 25’Min.).
Thoroughfares will provide a continuity of design from primary and secondary
points of community entry throughout the entirety of Windsong Ranch. These
thoroughfares and the adjacent landscape buffers are intended to include the
following:
• Screen walls composed primarily of ornamental metal fence with
living screen or stone or stone veneer (allowing brick accent), ONLY
if the Town determines that mitigating circumstances (land area /
depth, topography, etc) will not allow natural landscape to buffer
adjacent land uses (no builder fencing allowed);
• Enhanced grading / berms combined with landscape (grass, trees,
accent shrubs and groundcover at entry points) to provide design
continuity and buffer adjacent land uses;
• Street tree system throughout (formal and/or informal in arrangement
– design to be determined), to visually identify the hierarchy of
streets and neighborhoods. A variety of tree species will be
provided, including canopy / shade and smaller flowering,
ornamentals of a minimum 3 inch caliper for every 30 lineal feet
which with requested approval by the Town at the time of submission
of a preliminary plat may be grouped and in no case shall there be
less than the total number of street trees as required by this
subsection;
• Continuous 6’ sidewalks on both sides of the thoroughfare (sidewalks
interior to Residential may be 5’);
• Integrated neighborhood / ‘village’ entries at points of intersection.
e. Community Park Windsong Ranch will include one community park (of
approximately 50 acres) that shall be dedicated to the Town in accordance with
the Preannexation Agreement. Schedule for improvements and requirements for
maintenance are described in Section 4 of the Development Standards. It is
intended that this park include sports and athletic facilities, passive and natural
spaces and associated parking - all of a scope and type to be determined in
coordination with Town staff. Following are parameters of design intended for this
facility:
• Location will be along one of the open space / greenway parks in
order to facilitate pedestrian connectivity to the neighborhoods;
• Facility design will utilize materials (masonry, pavements, landscape,
lighting) that are compatible with other common area improvements
within the Windsong Ranch community;
• Specific facilities to be determined in coordination with Town staff,
but may include some combination of the following:
✓ 8’ wide hike and bike trails
✓ Softball / Baseball field(s) (lighted);
✓ Soccer field(s) (lighted);
122
Item 8.
✓ Football field(s)
✓ Multipurpose field(s)
✓ Shade pavilion(s);
✓ Parking;
✓ Trailhead connections to adjacent floodplain / greenway parks;
✓ Site furnishings, including benches, water fountains, trash
receptacles;
✓ Enhanced landscape at entries, and irrigated turf in all maintained
(developed) areas.
f. Community Amenity Center
a. At least one Community Amenity Center shall be developed within
Windsong Ranch, providing a range of more active, family oriented
activities in a ‘resort’ style environment (see representative examples
above). This facility will be HOA maintained and provide the “centerpiece”
recreational amenity for the entire community. Like the community park,
this facility is intended to be located along the floodplain / greenway parks
system to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access from the
neighborhoods of Windsong Ranch.
A. A Community Amenity Center will be completed along with the
initial phase of residential development, within the Single-
Family Residential Tract.
B. Three (3) additional Neighborhood Amenity Centers will be built
upon completion of each successive phase of residential
development, each phase to include approximately 750 homes,
within the Single-Family Residential tract.
b. The intended program for the Community Amenity Center facility shall
include multiple elements from the following list:
• Active adult and children’s pools;
• Water slides and water play features;
• Paved and turf chaise areas;
• Community building, with interior and exterior spaces programmed
for resident and HOA uses, including possible inclusion of a kitchen,
community room, meeting room(s), fitness room, and storage
area(s);
• Restrooms (in the community building and possibly additionally at the
pool area(s);
• Convenience parking (quantity to be determined based upon code
compliance);
• Children’s playground facility(s);
• Sport court(s);
• Trailhead linkages to the floodplain / greenway parks.
123
Item 8.
c. Floodplain / Greenway Parks
A. Windsong Ranch includes over 550 acres of flood plain
corridors through the property. Significant portions of these
corridors are rich in native flora and fauna, and are intended to
be preserved in a natural condition, with only minimal impact to
allow hike / bike trail linkages. Other areas are more open and
less valuable as a native resource, and these areas may be
developed to include a golf course or ponds and fountains that
contribute to the overall storm drainage system and provide
enhanced value to the community. All of these corridors shall
be interconnected with a series of paths and trails, with an
overall hike / bike trail system throughout. Following are the key
components of this system of open space through the
community:
• Master hike / bike trail – minimum 8’ in width – concrete or other
material approved by the Town – linking all neighborhoods, schools
and amenities;
• Secondary paths and trails – minimum 8’ in width – concrete or ‘soft’
surface (decomposed granite, crushed fines) is permitted for HOA
maintained trails– providing secondary linkages and ‘spur’
connections to the hike / bike trail system;
• Native preservation areas in locations of most desirable existing
vegetation, including wetland, upland and forested environments;
• Trailhead locations at community amenity sites and at schools, to
include trail maps, bike racks, and site furnishings (trash, seating);
• Ponds and water features in open areas where impacts to existing
vegetation will not be an issue and storm drainage requirements can
be enhanced – ponds to include predominantly native, soft edges,
safety shelves, water circulation / aeration to ensure water quality.
124
Item 8.
d. Neighborhood Parks
A. Windsong Ranch will include a minimum of three, 7.5 acre
(each) neighborhood parks, distributed throughout the
community in areas that are linked by the floodplain / greenway
parks system and that contribute to ensuring a maximum ¼ mile
walk from any neighborhood to a park or open space amenity.
Additional requirements for schedule of completion for these
facilities, as well as maintenance, can be found in Section 4 of
the Development Standards.
B. Neighborhood parks shall be designed as a complementary
component of the Windsong Ranch amenities program,
including consideration of alternative uses, and the use of
compatible materials (hardscape, landscape and, if included,
lighting). These parks are to be integrated within the open
space system as well as the neighborhoods that they serve.
Neighborhood parks may include features and elements from
the following list of amenities;
• Open play fields (non-lit);
• Sport courts;
• Covered pavilion or shade structure;
• Children’s playgrounds segregated by age groups (i.e. 2-5
and 5-12);
• Parking for +/- 10 spaces;
• Grading around perimeter to provide safety for playfields
and street frontages;
• 8’ sidewalks around site linking facilities and providing
connections to adjacent floodplain / greenway parks;
• Town’s Park signage approved by the Parks Board
consistent with community theme.
125
Item 8.
e. Pocket Parks Additional components of the Windsong Ranch amenities
program are smaller pocket parks within individual neighborhoods. These
parks will be an HOA maintained component of the open space system,
and allow for:
• Providing valuable open space in adjacency to smaller
homes;
• integration of existing tree rows and other natural features
that warrant preservation;
• ensuring one-quarter mile resident walks to a component of
the open space system;
• additional passive and moderately active recreational
opportunities, including:
✓ open play areas;
✓ natural interpretive areas;
✓ neighborhood playgrounds;
✓ children’s water play area;
✓ small neighborhood gathering spaces.

3. Mixed-Use Tract
a. Definition: The term ‘Mixed-Use’ as applied to the Windsong Ranch Development
shall include residential and non-residential land uses integrated vertically or
horizontally along the property facing U.S. Highway 380 in a walkable, vibrant
market driven neighborhood, giving residents the opportunity to live, work and
shop in the same community. The architecture of the mixed-use portion of the
development will blend with the surrounding residential neighborhood’s style. Non-
residential uses include retail, restaurants and office. Retail uses are primarily
intended to supply the community with everyday convenience goods and services
and shall occur on the ground level of stand alone or integrated buildings. Office
shall include neighborhood service oriented professional, financial, and medical
uses and may occupy ground and/ or upper level building space. Residential land
uses are intended to supply attached housing product helping act as a buffer
between the more intense retail and office uses along U.S. Highway 380 and the
less intense suburban single-family residential product to the north. Principal uses
may include town homes and multi-family (condominiums, live/ work loft
residential, and luxury apartments). However, it is acknowledged that all or a
portion designated as the Mixed Use Tract may develop solely for retail or office
uses. It is intended in these standards to provide the flexibility to develop either a
multiple use project or traditional retail development.

4. Parkland
a. Parkland shall consist of the following types:
i. Neighborhood Park,
ii. Open space,
iii. Community Park containing a minimum of fifty (50) acres, and
b. The schedule for providing Parkland shall be as follows:
i. Neighborhood Park: The Neighborhood Parks shall be dedicated
to the Town for public use and constructed simultaneously with the
construction of the Public Improvements contained within the
platted area in which the Neighborhood Parks is/are located.
Developer shall, after consultation with the Town, use reasonable
efforts to situate Neighborhood Parks adjacent to School Areas,
with the specific location being subject to approval by the Town,
which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, condition or
denied.
ii. Open Space: Open Space identified on a General Development
Plan shall be dedicated to the Town for public use, or reserved for
private use by Developer, upon the earlier of: (A) within a
reasonable period of time after receiving a written request by the
Town for such dedication or reservation, such request being based
upon the Park Plan in accordance with the General Development
Plan wherein such Open Space is located; or (B) upon recordation
of a final plat in which such Open Space is located, provided
Developer owns the Open Space to be dedicated or reserved. If
Developer is not the owner of the Open Space to be dedicated or
reserved, the Owners shall, unless otherwise required herein, be
required to comply with such requirements as set forth in the
Subdivision Ordinance when the Properties, or portions thereof,
develop.
iii. Community Park: Within three (3) years from the Effective Date of
the Preannexation Agreement, the Community Park shall be
171
Item 8.
dedicated to the Town upon the earlier of: (A) within ninety (90)
days of receiving a written request by the Town for such dedication;
or (B) at the time the adjacent streets are dedicated to the Town
provided Developer owns the land identified as the Community
Park; provided, however, the Parties agree that the Community
Park dedication shall be in cooperation with and furtherance of the
Town’s overall park grant efforts. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if the Developer has not dedicated the Community
Park by the time prescribed in the preceding sentence, Owners as
applicable, shall dedicate, at absolutely no cost to the Town, the
Community Park within three (3) months of a written request by the
Town for such dedication. Town shall be fully responsible for
Maintenance Obligations of the Community Park upon the Town’s
acceptance of the dedication. The Town will, within a reasonable
time, after receiving the proposed conveyance instrument, provide
the Developer and/or Owner, as applicable, written notice of the
Town’s acceptance of the dedicated Community Park.
c. Parkland reserved for private use shall be owned and maintained by a
homeowners association, or other entity, and made available to owners, tenants,
residents, occupants and members within the Properties and to their guests and
invitees.

including, but not limited to the following:
• trails,
• playfields,
• game courts,
• golf courses,
• nature centers,
• outdoor education centers,
• community gardens, and
• trail amenities.
5. General Requirements for the Windsong Ranch.
a. Amenities: The intent of these development standards regarding the provision of
amenities is for an integration of built and natural elements working together as a
system that provides for the active and passive recreational needs of the Windsong
Ranch community specifically and of the Town of Prosper generally. The
distribution of natural beauty throughout the development, exemplified by mature
trees and areas of rolling topography, provides the opportunity for a community-
wide trail punctuated with nodes of built improvements such as pocket parks. In
this way, neighborhood is linked to neighborhood and the Windsong Ranch
community is linked to the Town.
To help preserve the open character of the Town of Prosper, it is the intent of
these development standards that a significant amount of natural open space,
particularly amid the floodplain and other sensitive land, be set aside to provide
172
Item 8.
additional open space for Windsong Ranch and for the Town. Design elements in
these areas should support non-programmed passive recreational activities such
as walking and picnicking.
b. Development Plan: A Conceptual Development Plan is hereby attached (Exhibit
“D”) and made a part of these development standards. It establishes the most
general guidelines for the district by identifying the project boundaries, land use
types, approximate thoroughfare locations, R.O.W. dedication, roads and
illustrates the integration of these elements into a master plan for the whole district.
c. Maintenance of Facilities: The Developers shall establish a Homeowner’s
Association (“HOA”) for single family residential areas and a Property Owner’s
Association (“POA”) for mixed use areas, in which membership is mandatory for
each lot, and that will be responsible for operation and maintenance of all common
areas and/or common facilities contained within the area of the respective
residential or mixed use development or adjacent Right-of-Way (“ROW”). The HOA
or POA will be created with Phase 1 and each subsequent phase shall be annexed
into the association or a separate HOA/POA may be created for each respective
phase at the Developer’s discretion. Upon completion of fifty percent (50%)
buildout of any phase of residential development and creation of the corresponding
HOA, the Developer shall provide that all HOA Boards have an advisory position
to be filled by individual homeowners residing within the corresponding phase.
Prior to transfer of the ownership to the HOA or POA, all specified facilities shall
be constructed by the Developer and approved by the Town. The Developer shall
provide the Town a mandatory HOA/POA agreement that will be recorded in the
deed records of Denton County, Texas. In lieu of the HOA and POA, the Town
and Developer may elect to create another entity to undertake the same
responsibilities of the HOA or POA.
6. Definitions. The definitions of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance (as it currently exists or may
be amended) shall apply to these regulations except as otherwise amended herein. For
purposes of these Development Standards, the following terms shall have the following
meaning:
“Masonry” shall mean stone, stucco, brick, tile, concrete, glass or similar materials or any
similar material approved by the Town’s Director of Development Services.
“Independent Living Facilities” means a facility containing dwelling units, accessory uses
and support services specifically designated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or
older, in accordance with the housing for older persons provisions of the Federal Fair
Housing Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. section 3607 et seq.), as amended, who are fully
ambulatory or who require no medical or personal assistance or supervision. The dwelling
units may consist of either multifamily, single-family detached or attached residences, or
a combination of such uses.
173
Item 8.
EXHIBIT “C”
Development Standards for Windsong Ranch, Town of Prosper, Texas
Conformance with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance : Except as
otherwise set forth in these Development Standards, the regulations of the Town’s Zoning
Ordinance (Ordinance No. 05-20 as it currently exists or may be amended) and
Subdivision Ordinance (as it currently exists or may be amended) shall apply.
1. Amenity Program
a. General. As a master planned community, Windsong Ranch will have a
programmed and qualitatively controlled system of amenities throughout. These
amenities combine to create an overall sense of place that would be difficult to
achieve when considered as independent elements within smaller developments.
The community amenities that are addressed within these Development Standards
are:
• Primary Community Entries
• Secondary Community Entries
• Neighborhood Entries
• Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers
• Community Park
• Community Amenity Center
• Floodplain / Greenway Parks
• Neighborhood Parks
• Pocket Parks
b. Primary Community Entries
a. Major points of entry into Windsong Ranch (minimum two locations,
including at least one entry along U.S. 380) will be defined with a
combination of monument signage, landscape and lighting to create a
sense of arrival commensurate in scale and character with a 2,120.54 acre
master planned community (see representative examples below). These
entries will include:
• Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage
element, to be constructed of masonry or similar material;
• Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental
trees;
• Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique
aspects of the landscape;
• Water will be considered as an accent feature if land and topography
permit, and if compatible with the overall physical design theme for
the community.
174
Item 8.
b. Primary entries will be developed to incorporate both sides of the entry
roadway when both are contained within Windsong Ranch, and will also
include enhancements to the median in the immediate area (where / if
applicable). Landscape easements will be provided to ensure adequate
space to provide for visibility triangle(s) and adequate development of entry
design.
c. Secondary Community Entries
a. Secondary community entries will be similar to primary community
entries in their use of compatible building and landscape materials, but will
be smaller in scale and land area. They will occur at the outside edges of
Windsong Ranch, at the entries for either arterials or collectors into the
community. It is anticipated that a minimum of three secondary entries will
be provided for the community, primarily along Teel Parkway (see
representative examples below). Secondary community entries will include
the following elements, scaled slightly smaller than the primary entries:
• Community name / logo incorporated into monument signage element,
to be constructed of masonry or similar material;
• Enhanced landscape, including seasonal color, shrubs, groundcover,
perennials and unique combinations of both canopy and ornamental
trees;
• Enhanced lighting on the monument / signage and the unique aspects
of the landscape;
• Center median to allow for more landscape density and also provide
alternative location for neighborhood identification and way -finding
graphics;
• Landscape easements where required to accommodate enhanced
landscape and monument construction.
b. Neighborhood Entries. Internal to Windsong Ranch and along both
arterials and collectors, points of intersection will be enhanced to denote
entries into individual ‘villages’ or neighborhoods. These entries will
resemble primary and secondary entries in their use of materials and
175
Item 8.
landscape, but will also incorporate village or neighborhood names and will
contribute to a unique, community-wide system of visual way finding.
d. Thoroughfare Landscape Buffers (Arterial and Collector Roads) - 25’Min.).

thoroughfares and the adjacent landscape buffers are intended to include the
following:
• Screen walls composed primarily of ornamental metal fence with
living screen or stone or stone veneer (allowing brick accent), ONLY
if the Town determines that mitigating circumstances (land area /
depth, topography, etc) will not allow natural landscape to buffer
adjacent land uses (no builder fencing allowed);
• Enhanced grading / berms combined with landscape (grass, trees,
accent shrubs and groundcover at entry points) to provide design
continuity and buffer adjacent land uses;
• Street tree system throughout (formal and/or informal in arrangement
– design to be determined), to visually identify the hierarchy of
streets and neighborhoods. A variety of tree species will be
provided, including canopy / shade and smaller flowering,
ornamentals of a minimum 3 inch caliper for every 30 lineal feet
which with requested approval by the Town at the time of submission
of a preliminary plat may be grouped and in no case shall there be
less than the total number of street trees as required by this
subsection;

maintenance are described in Section 4 of the Development Standards. It is
intended that this park include sports and athletic facilities, passive and natural
spaces and associated parking - all of a scope and type to be determined in
coordination with Town staff. Following are parameters of design intended for this
facility:
• Location will be along one of the open space / greenway parks in
order to facilitate pedestrian connectivity to the neighborhoods;
• Facility design will utilize materials (masonry, pavements, landscape,
lighting) that are compatible with other common area improvements
within the Windsong Ranch community;
• Specific facilities to be determined in coordination with Town staff,
but may include some combination of the following:
✓ 8’ wide hike and bike trails
✓ Softball / Baseball field(s) (lighted);

Windsong Ranch, providing a range of more active, family oriented
activities in a ‘resort’ style environment (see representative examples
above). This facility will be HOA maintained and provide the “centerpiece”
recreational amenity for the entire community. Like the community park,
this facility is intended to be located along the floodplain / greenway parks
system to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access from the
neighborhoods of Windsong Ranch.
A. A Community Amenity Center will be completed along with the
initial phase of residential development, within the Single-
Family Residential Tract.
B. Three (3) additional Neighborhood Amenity Centers will be built

c. Floodplain / Greenway Parks
A. Windsong Ranch includes over 550 acres of flood plain
corridors through the property. Significant portions of these
corridors are rich in native flora and fauna, and are intended to
be preserved in a natural condition, with only minimal impact to
allow hike / bike trail linkages. Other areas are more open and
less valuable as a native resource, and these areas may be
developed to include a golf course or ponds and fountains that
contribute to the overall storm drainage system and provide
enhanced value to the community. All of these corridors shall
be interconnected with a series of paths and trails, with an
overall hike / bike trail system throughout. Following are the key
components of this system of open space through the
community:
• Master hike / bike trail – minimum 8’ in width – concrete or other
material approved by the Town – linking all neighborhoods, schools
and amenities;
• Secondary paths and trails – minimum 8’ in width – concrete or ‘soft’
surface (decomposed granite, crushed fines) is permitted for HOA
maintained trails– providing secondary linkages and ‘spur’
connections to the hike / bike trail system;
• Native preservation areas in locations of most desirable existing
vegetation, including wetland, upland and forested environments;
• Trailhead locations at community amenity sites and at schools, to
include trail maps, bike racks, and site furnishings (trash, seating);
• Ponds and water features in open areas where impacts to existing
vegetation will not be an issue and storm drainage requirements can
be enhanced – ponds to include predominantly native, soft edges,
safety shelves, water circulation / aeration to ensure water quality.
178
Item 8.
d. Neighborhood Parks
A. Windsong Ranch will include a minimum of three, 7.5 acre
(each) neighborhood parks, distributed throughout the
community in areas that are linked by the floodplain / greenway
parks system and that contribute to ensuring a maximum ¼ mile
walk from any neighborhood to a park or open space amenity.
Additional requirements for schedule of completion for these
facilities, as well as maintenance, can be found in Section 4 of
the Development Standards.
B. Neighborhood parks shall be designed as a complementary
component of the Windsong Ranch amenities program,
including consideration of alternative uses, and the use of
compatible materials (hardscape, landscape and, if included,
lighting). These parks are to be integrated within the open
space system as well as the neighborhoods that they serve.
Neighborhood parks may include features and elements from
the following list of amenities;
• Open play fields (non-lit);
• Sport courts;
• Covered pavilion or shade structure;
• Children’s playgrounds segregated by age groups (i.e. 2-5
and 5-12);
• Parking for +/- 10 spaces;
• Grading around perimeter to provide safety for playfields
and street frontages;
• 8’ sidewalks around site linking facilities and providing
connections to adjacent floodplain / greenway parks;
• Town’s Park signage approved by the Parks Board
consistent with community theme.
179
Item 8.
e. Pocket Parks Additional components of the Windsong Ranch amenities
program are smaller pocket parks within individual neighborhoods. These
parks will be an HOA maintained component of the open space system,
and allow for:
• Providing valuable open space in adjacency to smaller
homes;
• integration of existing tree rows and other natural features
that warrant preservation;
• ensuring one-quarter mile resident walks to a component of
the open space system;
• additional passive and moderately active recreational
opportunities, including:

3. Mixed-Use Tract
a. Definition: The term ‘Mixed-Use’ as applied to the Windsong Ranch Development
shall include residential and non-residential land uses integrated vertically or
horizontally along the property facing U.S. Highway 380 in a walkable, vibrant
market driven neighborhood, giving residents the opportunity to live, work and
shop in the same community. The architecture of the mixed-use portion of the
development will blend with the surrounding residential neighborhood’s style. Non-
residential uses include retail, restaurants and office. Retail uses are primarily
intended to supply the community with everyday convenience goods and services
and shall occur on the ground level of stand alone or integrated buildings. Office
shall include neighborhood service oriented professional, financial, and medical
uses and may occupy ground and/ or upper level building space. Residential land
uses are intended to supply attached housing product helping act as a buffer
between the more intense retail and office uses along U.S. Highway 380 and the
less intense suburban single-family residential product to the north. Principal uses
may include town homes and multi-family (condominiums, live/ work loft
residential, and luxury apartments). However, it is acknowledged that all or a
portion designated as the Mixed Use Tract may develop solely for retail or office
uses. It is intended in these standards to provide the flexibility to develop either a
multiple use project or traditional retail development.

5. General Requirements for the Windsong Ranch.
a. Amenities: The intent of these development standards regarding the provisi on of
amenities is for an integration of built and natural elements working together as a
system that provides for the active and passive recreational needs of the Windsong
Ranch community specifically and of the Town of Prosper generally. The
distribution of natural beauty throughout the development, exemplified by mature
trees and areas of rolling topography, provides the opportunity for a community -
wide trail punctuated with nodes of built improvements such as pocket parks. In
this way, neighborhood is linked to neighborhood and the Windsong Ranch
community is linked to the Town.
To help preserve the open character of the Town of Prosper, it is the intent of
these development standards that a significant amount of natural open space,
particularly amid the floodplain and other sensitive land, be set aside to provide
226
Item 8.
additional open space for Windsong Ranch and for the Town. Design elements in
these areas should support non-programmed passive recreational activities such
as walking and picnicking.
b. Development Plan: A Conceptual Development Plan is hereby attached (Exhibit
“D”) and made a part of these development standards. It establishes the most
general guidelines for the district by identifying the project boundaries, land use
types, approximate thoroughfare locations, R.O.W. dedication, roads and
illustrates the integration of these elements into a master plan for the whole district.
c. Maintenance of Facilities: The Developers shall establish a Homeowner’s
Association (“HOA”) for single family residential areas and a Property Owner’s
Association (“POA”) for mixed use areas, in which membership is mandatory for
each lot, and that will be responsible for operation and maintenance of all common
areas and/or common facilities contained within the area of the respective
residential or mixed use development or adjacent Right-of-Way (“ROW”). The HOA
or POA will be created with Phase 1 and each subsequent phase shall be annexed
into the association or a separate HOA/POA may be created for each respective
phase at the Developer’s discretion. Upon completion of fifty percent (50%)
buildout of any phase of residential development and creation of the corresponding
HOA, the Developer shall provide that all HOA Boards have an advisory position
to be filled by individual homeowners residing within the corresponding phase.
Prior to transfer of the ownership to the HOA or POA, all specified facilities shall
be constructed by the Developer and approved by the Town. The Developer shall
provide the Town a mandatory HOA/POA agreement that will be recorded in the
deed records of Denton County, Texas. In lieu of the HOA and POA, the Town
and Developer may elect to create another entity to undertake the same
responsibilities of the HOA or POA.
6. Definitions. The definitions of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance (as it currently exists or may
be amended) shall apply to these regulations except as otherwise amended herein. For
purposes of these Development Standards, the following terms shall have the following
meaning:
“Masonry” shall mean stone, stucco, brick, tile, concrete, glass or similar materials or any
similar material approved by the Town’s Director of Development Services.
“Independent Living Facilities” means a facility containing dwelling units, accessory uses
and support services specifically designated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or
older, in accordance with the housing for older persons provisions of the Federal Fair
Housing Act of 1988 (42 U.S.C. section 3607 et seq.), as amended, who are fully
ambulatory or who require no medical or personal assistance or supervision. The dwelling
units may consist of either multifamily, single-family detached or attached residences, or
a combination of such uses.

TO: Mr. David Soto, Town of Prosper
FROM: Tradition Homes - Zach Schneider (President/CEO) & Bill Darling (Chairman)
DATE: March 1, 2023
SUBJECT: Windsong Ranch Phase 7F/7G – Modern Farmhouse (Type A & B Courtyard Lots)
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the Town of Prosper’s support regarding exterior building
materials for Type A and Type B Courtyard Lots in Phases 7F and 7G of Windsong Ranch. This request is
regarding Phases 7F and 7G only.
More specifically, Tellus and Tradition both desire to build Modern Farmhouse elevations in this highly
desirable section of Windsong Ranch with the goal of adding architectural diversity to the community.
Overview
Tradition Homes was founded in 2019 by Zach Schneider and father-in-law Bill Darling. Tradition is a luxury
homebuilder operating in several locations within Prosper and Prosper ISD. Tradition’s current average
home price is approximately $1.1M. Tellus and Tradition Homes are working together on Phases 7F and
7G of Windsong Ranch. Tradition Homes is the only builder in Phase 7F and 7G.
• Phase 7F. This phase was developed in 2022. Tradition Homes is actively building luxury patio
homes in Phase 7F.
• Phase 7G. Development activities in Phase 7G will commence soon. Phase 7G lots are anticipated
to be delivered in late 2023.

Item 8.
PD-40 & Development Agreement
Phases 7F and 7G of Windsong Ranch include Type A and Type B lots. This section of Windsong Ranch is
being constructed under the Courtyard Home Option. Tellus and Tradition Homes would like to amend
PD-40 and amend the Development Agreement to allow Tradition Homes to build their Modern
Farmhouse (“E” Elevations) in Phases 7F and 7G.
PD-40 currently includes language that allows Modern Farmhouse elevations to be constructed on Type
C, Type D, and Type F lots. We are requesting this language applied to Type A and Type B Courtyard Homes.
Tradition Homes – Luxury Patio Homes
Tradition Homes is currently building their Luxury Patio Homes in Windsong Ranch (Prosper, TX) and
Mustang Lakes (Celina, TX). This product is very similar to the product our family has designed and built
over the years in the Dallas and Houston markets. A very important distinction for our Luxury Patios
compared to other builders is we serve a very affluent buyer.
Luxury Patio Homes – Buyer Profile
Below are things this Buyer desires in a Luxury Patio Home:
• They want a minimum 2,600 SF - 3,300 SF on one floor.
• They want their home to be highly amenitized, resembling what they have become accustom to
in their existing home.
• They want an enclave of +/-100 homes with no through streets. This allows them the community
they want with their peers and does not allow for teenage or family drivers through their
neighborhood.
• They have shown that they want high end MPC’s like Windsong Ranch. There is no need for
additional amenities because they like interacting with the overall community which often
includes their children and grandchildren.
• They can lock up and go out of town (“lock and leave”) due to smaller yards and minimal
maintenance.
Conclusion
Tradition Homes is focused to building distinctive homes in distinctive master planned communities. We
are grateful to be a builder in Windsong Ranch and a builder in the Town of Prosper. We believe these
Modern Farmhouse Elevations will add architectural diversity to the streetscape and enhance this area of
the community. Tradition Homes is willing to provide physical addresses to actual homes that represent
this architectural style upon request (addresses are not included in this memorandum for the safety and
privacy of our customers). Attached to this memorandum are several architectural renderings of our
Modern Farmhouse Elevations.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Land Use Types
Residential Low Density
This land use is indicative of large-lot single-
family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes
within any low density development will range
between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size.
While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the
total gross density of low density residential
neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling
units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a
continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel
that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s
residents. Most low density residential areas
will be located in Northwest and Northeast
Prosper.
Residential Medium Density
Medium density residential is also
representative of single family detached
dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density
residential neighborhoods could range between
12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A
variation in lot sizes may be permitted to
achieve a goal range in density. While a variety
of lot sizes may be used within medium density
residential neighborhoods, the gross density of
such developments will typically not be less
than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than
2.5 dwelling units per acre.

28 Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Residential High Density
High density residential represents the most
intense residential land uses permitted in
Prosper. High density single family uses will
consist of developments greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller
than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the
high-density residential district is reflective of
the Artesia development, where single family
residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre
will be substantially higher than the rest of the
community. High density residential may be
located within the Dallas North Tollway,
Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town
Districts. In such areas, high density residential
may take the form of multifamily or single
family attached dwelling units and may include
mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes,
snout houses, brownstones and townhomes.
Retail and Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood services typically include retail
establishments that provide merchandise for
retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and
small medical offices. Retail uses are
particularly important because they contribute
to Prosper’s tax base through both property
and sales taxes, making their inclusion
attractive and often times competitive. Within
Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely
occur at major intersections along the Dallas
North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road
corridors. Neighborhood service uses should
also be strategically placed along the Town’s
perimeter in order to attract patrons from
neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax
revenue opportunities. The majority of
neighborhood service activity within Prosper
will likely be included within the Dallas North
Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old
Town districts.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Dallas North Tollway District
The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of
the most intense land uses within Prosper. A
diverse mixture of office, retail and residential
will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise
office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted
throughout the corridor. Office buildings
should be designed for a “campus feel”—they
should be oriented towards common public
space with significant landscaping and should
be linked by a pedestrian network. A common
architectural theme should also be established
for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use
development should be encouraged and should
contain a mixture of office, retail and residential
uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the
most appropriate residential use within this
district. Structured parking should be
encouraged in more intense areas to limit the
presence and visibility of large parking lots.
Structured parking should be oriented in a way
that minimizes visibility from the Tollway.
Highway 380 District
Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the
Highway 380 district will contain a variety of
different uses. The major contrast between
Highway 380 and other districts will be the
inclusion of a big box development and
commercial service uses. Types of appropriate
commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle
refilling stations with a convenience store,
home service centers with outside storage,
garden center with outside storage and other
similar uses which serve the community but are
not necessarily desired on Preston Road or
within the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Residential land uses may be appropriate within
certain areas, particularly away from major
intersections where retail and commercial will
be the highest and best land use. Residential
land uses may include patio homes, snout
houses, townhomes and brownstones. These
residential areas may serve as a buffer between
more intense activity along Highway 380 and
low density residential areas to the north.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Town Center District
The Town Center district is a continuation of the
area defined by previous planning efforts as a
future location for a large scale mixed-use
development. The Town Center would include
a mixture of land uses but development will be
less intense than that located along Highway
380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small
scale office, and residential uses would be
included within this district, but the primary
intent should be focused on dining and
shopping. Public space should be a major
component of this area, creating space for
families and residents of Prosper to meet and
socialize. Open space located within the Town
Center could be used for community events,
festivals and school events. Urban design
should accommodate the pedestrian while
providing automobile access and discreet
parking. Residential uses may include mixed-
use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes
and brownstones. Areas of single family
residential may also be permitted, particularly
on the northern side where the development
abuts the Old Town district.
Old Town District
The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper.
This historic area of the community is intended
to include a variety of boutique type land uses,
ranging from unique and local retail
establishments, restaurants and offices. Many
of the historic homes within the Old Town
district, particularly areas along First Street and
Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique
office and retail establishments. The most
opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if
desired by future residents, would be within the
Old Town district, which could facilitate
redevelopment of the downtown area. If this
occurs, high density residential options, such as
live-above lofts/apartments, may be
considered. The historic past of the community
should be preserved. The community’s
beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin
County are part of what defines Prosper, and
these attributes should be preserved as new
infill development occurs.

Business Park
A Business Park district, located to the west of
the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and
First Street, will include a variety of potential
land uses including light industrial, commercial
warehousing, office storage and commercial
uses with outside storage. While outside
storage will likely occur and be necessary within
this district, significant effort should be placed
on the visual integrity of the district, particularly
when located in higher visibility areas. When
such uses abut roadways, larger landscape
setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include
berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be
used to protect the visual integrity of roadways
and the public view. All outside storage should
also be screened from public view and from
adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF
railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North
Tollway provide the Business Park with
significant accessibility. Uses located along First
Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas
should incorporate a higher degree of
landscaping and architectural design in order to
protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s
roadways.
