Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 4, 2017
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a Final Plat for Prosper Town Center, Phase V, Block A, Lot 1, on 1.6±
acres, located 880± feet north of First Street and 550± feet east of Preston Road. The property
is zoned Planned Development-7 (PD-7). (D17-0018).
Description of Agenda Item:
The Final Plat dedicates all easements necessary for development of a 37,884 square foot, 3-
story, office building, which was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on September
20, 2016 (D16-0064). Access to the site is achieved via a Fire Lane, Access and Utility
Easement from Hays Road and a Mutual Access and Fire Lane Easement from Preston Road,
in lieu of fronting on a public street. PD-7 was amended to allow access to lots via these
easements due to the location of future internal lots within the Prosper Town Center. The Final
Plat conforms to the PD-7 development standards.
Attached Documents:
1. Location Map
2. Final Plat
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends approval of the Final Plat, subject to:
1. Town staff approval of all additions and/or alterations to the easements and dedications on the
Final Plat.

Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 4, 2017
Agenda Item:
Conduct a Public Hearing and consider and act upon a request to amend Chapter 3, Permitted
Uses and Definitions, and Chapter 4, Development Requirements, of the Zoning Ordinance
regarding Accessory Structures, Accessory Buildings, Guest Houses and Garage Apartments.
(Z16-0014).
Background/Description of Agenda Item:
Recent developments of accessory structures and guest houses have warranted the need to
review the standards of these uses to ensure the structures do not have a negative impact on
adjacent residential properties. In addition, staff has received requests to reduce the required
rear yard setback on single family lots to accommodate attached accessory structures such as
patio covers.
The Commission discussed this item during their February 7th, February 21st and March 21st
meetings, and toured sites in the Town on February 21st.
Guest Houses:
The Zoning Ordinance defines a “guest house” as,
“An accessory dwelling unit, detached from the main building on the lot, used to house
family and/or guests of the owner(s) of the main residential structure, and which is
never rented or offered for rent.”
The Zoning Ordinance permits Guest Houses by right in all residential districts and the Downtown
Retail District with the following standards contained within the section of the Zoning Ordinance
regarding “Accessory Structures and Uses.”
”A Guest House shall be permitted in the Agricultural through the Downtown Retail Districts as an
incidental residential use of a building on the same lot or tract as the main dwelling unit and used
by the same person or persons of the immediate family and shall meet the following standards:
A. The Guest House must be constructed to the rear of the main dwelling, separate from the
main dwelling. A lot must have a minimum of one-half (½) acre for a Guest House to be
permitted.
B. The Guest House may be constructed only upon issuance of a Building Permit.
C. The Guest House may not be sold separately from sale of the entire property, including the
main dwelling unit, and shall not be sub-let.
D. Setback requirements shall be the same as for the main structure.”
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
PLANNING
Page 2 of 7
Issues & Recommendations
1. Update the definition of a guest house in Section 2 of Chapter 3 to read,
“A second, attached or detached dwelling unit located on the same lot or tract as the
primary dwelling unit, which provides for living, sleeping, and cooking facilities and is
used by family members, guests of the family, or a domestic worker hired by the
homeowner of the primary dwelling unit. A mobile home or a HUD-Code manufactured
home shall not be considered as a guest house.”
2. Amend the Use Chart in Section 1 of Chapter 3. Since the use is designated as a “by-right” in the
Use Chart of the Zoning Ordinance, it is not readily apparent there are conditions that need to be
met. Recommend amending the use Chart to designate “Guest Houses” as a “Conditional Use”
with new standards as noted below in the Agricultural and Single Family Districts. Remove the use
from the Downtown Single Family District, due to the smaller lot size in this district.
3. Create new Conditional Use for Guest House in Section 1.4 of Chapter 3 to read,
a) The guest house, if detached, shall be located on a lot or tract containing a minimum
of one (1) acre;
b) To be classified as an attached guest house, the second living quarters shall be
integral to primary dwelling and be accessed through conditioned interior corridors. A
guest house that is connected to the primary dwelling by a covered or enclosed
walkway shall meet all conditions of a detached guest house.
c) The guest house shall be located on the same lot or tract as the existing primary
dwelling;
d) If detached, the guest house shall be located behind the primary structure at a point
no closer than ten (10) feet from the rear wall line of the primary dwelling.
e) If detached, the guest house shall meet all rear yard and side yard setbacks that are
required of the primary dwelling;
f) If detached, the height of the guest house shall not exceed the height of the primary
dwelling;
g) If detached, a guest house shall not be finaled/approved for occupancy prior to the
final/approval for occupancy of the primary dwelling;
h) No more than one (1) guest house per lot or tract shall be permitted;
i) The guest house shall not be rented or leased or offered for rent or lease,
independently of the primary dwelling;
j) The guest house shall not be sold separately from the sale of the entire property, including
the primary dwelling;
k) The guest house shall be serviced by the same electric and natural gas utility meters
as the primary dwelling;
l) The exterior building materials shall be consistent with the exterior materials of the
primary dwelling;
m) The maximum total area of a detached guest house, including garages, covered patios
and any enclosed storage areas shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the dwelling
area of the primary dwelling. However, in no instance, shall the maximum total area
of a detached guest house, including garages, covered patios and any enclosed
storage areas exceed 2,000 square feet; and
n) In no case shall the combined area of the primary dwelling, guest house and/or other
accessory buildings exceed the maximum percentage of lot coverage permitted for the
zoning district in which the structures are located.
Page 3 of 7
Garage Apartments:
The Zoning Ordinance defines a “garage apartment” as,
“An accessory dwelling unit for one (1) family erected in conjunction with a garage, but
with a separate entrance than that of the primary dwelling unit on the lot, when the main
structure is an owner occupied detached dwelling unit, and which is never rented or
offered for rent.”
Issues & Recommendations
Garage apartments are permitted by right in the Agricultural, Single Family, and Downtown Single
Family Districts without any conditions. If standards are not established for this use, the newly
established standards for guest houses could be circumvented. Unlike a guest house, it may
appropriate for the “garage apartment” to be located on a smaller lot. Since the term, “apartment”
is associated with a rental unit, staff recommends the term be amended.
1. Amend the term, Garage Apartment” in the Use Chart in Section 1, Chapter 3 to read, “Residential
Garage Loft,”
2. Amend the definition of the revised term in Section 2 of Chapter 3 to read, “A small, accessory
dwelling located above a private garage which provides for living, sleeping, and cooking
facilities and is used by family members, guests of the family, or a domestic worker hired by
the homeowner of the primary dwelling unit.
3. Amend the Use Chart in Section, 1, Chapter 3 by changing the “by-right” designation to a
“Conditional Use” with new standards as noted below in the Agricultural, Single Family Districts,
and Downtown Single Family District.
4. Create new Conditional Uses in Section 1.4 of Chapter 3 to read,
a. The residential garage loft shall be located on the same lot or tract as the primary
dwelling unit,
b. The residential garage loft shall be located above the garage and the total area of
the unit shall not exceed 800 square feet.
c. The height of the residential garage loft shall not exceed the height of the primary
dwelling;
d. No more than one (1) residential garage loft per lot or tract shall be permitted;
e. The residential garage loft shall not be rented or leased or offered for rent or lease,
independently of the primary dwelling;
f. The residential garage loft shall not be sold separately from the sale of the entire property,
including the primary dwelling;
g. The residential garage loft shall be serviced by the same electric and natural gas
utility meters as the primary dwelling;
h. The exterior building materials shall be consistent with the exterior materials of the
primary dwelling;
Detached Accessory Structures:
The Zoning Ordinance currently has the following standards:
“DETACHED GARAGE AND ACCESSORY BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
A. The exterior facades of a detached garage or other accessory building or structure
greater than one hundred and sixty (160) square feet shall be subject to the same
exterior construction material(s) requirements as the main building or structure.
B. An accessory building that is larger than one hundred and sixty (160) square feet may
be vinyl, cementatious fiber board, or factory coated decorative metal if the wall height
Page 4 of 7
of the building does not exceed fourteen (14) feet and if three (3) of the following six
(6) conditions are met:
1. A minimum three (3) foot high wainscoting is provided on all sides, excluding
windows and doors,
2. Divided light windows are provided on at least two sides of the building,
3. A minimum roof pitch of four (4) in twelve (12) is provided,
4. A cupola is provided,
5. One (1) tree, a minimum size of one (1) caliper inch, is planted every twenty (20)
feet, or portion thereof, along the longest sides of the building, or
6. A minimum twenty (20) foot side yard setback is provided
C. Metal or wood may be used as an exterior construction material for an accessory
building or structure of one hundred and sixty (160) square feet or less in an SF or 2F
District.
D. Cementatious fiber board may be used to fulfill masonry requirements for structures
accessory to an existing structure constructed entirely of wood or vinyl siding.”
The development standards for structures greater than 160 square feet were added to the Zoning
Ordinance in an attempt to ensure the buildings were compatible with the residential character of
the neighborhood, while allowing larger structures.
Issues & Recommendations
In relation of the size of an accessory building to the primary residence, with the exception of lot
coverage, there is no limit on the size of an accessory structure. In r elation of the height of the
accessory building to the height of the primary residence, a two-story accessory building can be
built on a lot with a one-story home. Staff recommends the standards of Section 7.6 of Chapter
4 be revised and new standards be established as follows:
A. The exterior facades of a detached garage or other accessory building or structure
greater than one hundred and sixty (160) square feet shall be subject to the same
exterior construction material(s) requirements as the main building or structure.
B. An accessory building that is larger than one hundred and sixty 160 square feet may be
vinyl, cementatious fiber cement board (updated term), or factory coated decorative metal
if the wall height of the building does not exceed fourteen (14) feet and if three (3) of the
following six (6) conditions are met:
1. A minimum three (3) foot high wainscoting is provided on all sides, excluding
windows and doors,
2. Divided light windows are provided on at least two sides of the building,
3. A minimum roof pitch of four (4) in twelve (12) is provided,
4. A cupola is provided,
5. One (1) tree, a minimum size of one (1) two (2) caliper inch, is planted every
twenty (20) twenty-five (25) feet, or portion thereof, along the longest two (2)
sides of the building, or
6. A minimum twenty (20) foot side yard setback is provided.
C. Metal or wood may be used as an exterior construction material for an accessory
building or structure of one hundred and sixty (160) square feet or less in an SF or 2F
District.
D. Cementatious Fiber cement board may be used to fulfill masonry requirements for
structures accessory to an existing structure constructed entirely of wood or vinyl
siding.
C. In no instance shall the height of an accessory building or detached garage exceed
the height of the primary dwelling.
D. Accessory buildings in excess of 160 square feet shall be located behind the primary
Page 5 of 7
structure at a point no closer than ten (10) feet from the rear wall line of the primary
dwelling.
E. A Specific Use Permit is required for either of the following instances:
1) An accessory building that is greater in size than the primary dwelling. For the
purpose of this subsection, the size of the primary dwelling includes the attached
private garage,
2) the size of an accessory building which is greater than seven percent (7%) of the
lot area, or
3) the size of the accessory structure is greater than 4,000 square feet.
Attached Accessory Structures:
With smaller lots being developed in the Town, homes are being constructed up to or near the
required front, side and rear yard lines. As depicted in Figure 1 below, a SF-10 District lot
(minimum 10,000 square-foot lot area) requires a 25-foot front yard setback, a 25-foot rear yard
setback and an eight-foot side yard setback.
Figure 1
When the house is built up to the rear yard setback, there is no opportunity to add a shade
structure such as a covered patio or pergola at the back of the home without encroaching into the
required rear yard setback as depicted in Figure 2. Homeowners have requested staff for relief
of the rear yard setback requirement to build attached shade structures as depicted in Figure 3.
Since there is no physical hardship, the Board of Adjustment cannot consider a variance.
Page 6 of 7
Figure 2
Figure 3
The Zoning Ordinance permits detached accessory structures in the required rear or side yards,
if the structure is located at least three (3) feet from the property line and a minimum of ten (10)
feet from the main structure, as depicted in Figure 4. However, homeowners want the shade
structure attached to the rear of the home.
Page 7 of 7
Figure 4
Issues to consider:
• Allowing further encroachments into the required yard areas further reduces the open space
between homes.
• Restriction of fire access at the rear of the home.
• Consequence of reduced setback for a covered patio in combination with other detached
structures in the rear yard.
• Could allow the shade structure to encroach into the rear yard if open on at least three (3) sides.
However, the structure could be enclosed at a later date without the staff’s knowledge.
Attached Accessory Structures – Recommended Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance:
Staff is not recommending an amendment to allow attached structures to encroach into the
required setbacks.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to
recommend approval of the request. Notice of the Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing
was provided in the newspaper as required by the Zoning Ordinance and state law.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the requested amendments to
the Zoning Ordinance as submitted.
Council Review and Public Hearing:
The Town Council will receive a briefing on this item on April 11, 2017 and a Public Hearing has
been scheduled for the Town Council at their Regular meeting on May 9, 2017.
