Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – March 1, 2016
Agenda Item:
Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to amend the Future Land Use
Plan, located on the west side of Coit Road, 2,300± feet north of First Street, from Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential. (CA16-0001). [Companion Case Z16-0002]
Description of Agenda Item:
Town staff has received a request to annex and zone 54.0± acres of currently unincorporated
land to Planned Development-Single Family-10 (PD-SF-10) and to rezone 28.9± acres from
Agricultural (A) to Planned Development-Single Family-10 (PD-SF-10), Zoning Case Z16-0002.
The two tracts will be developed as a new single family, 164-lot subdivision, known as Parkside.
According to the Comprehensive Plan, Low Density Residential recommends a maximum of 1.6
dwelling units per acre, with single family residential lot sizes ranging between 15,000 square
feet to 1+ acre. Medium Density Residential recommends a maximum of 2.5 dwelling units per
acre, with single family residential lot sizes ranging between 12,500 square feet and 20,000
square feet in size. High Density Residential is for developments consisting of greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes less than 10,000 square feet. Since the proposed rezoning
request is not greater than 2.5 dwelling units per acre, and no lots less than 10,000 square feet
are being proposed, the requested zoning is considered Medium Density Residential. Further
description of the Low Density and Medium Density Residential land use types are in the
attached excerpt from the Comprehensive Plan.
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.”
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.
• Will the proposed change enhance the site and the surrounding area?
• Is the proposed change a better use than that originally envisioned and depicted on the
Future Land Use Plan map?
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
PLANNING
Page 2 of 3
• Will the proposed use impact adjacent residential areas in a negative manner?
• Will the proposed use be compatible with and/or enhance adjacent residential uses?
• Are uses adjacent to the proposed use similar in nature in terms of appearance, hours of
operation, and other general aspects of compatibility?
• Does the proposed use present a significant benefit to the public health, safety, welfare
and/or social well-being of the community?
• Would it contribute to the Town’s long-term economic stability?
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.”
In response, the applicant provided the attached, “Statement of Intent and Purpose.”
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.”
The proposed rezoning is for a private street development consisting of 1.98 dwelling units per
acre, with lot sizes ranging between 10,125 to 15,000 square feet. For comparison purposes,
the lot size and densities of the surrounding subdivisions are as follows:
• The Deer Run subdivision, north of the subject property, has a density of 2.15 dwelling units
per acre with the majority of the lot sizes ranging from 15,000 square feet to 20,000 square
feet. Six (6) lots are between 24,000 and 43,000 square feet. The lots immediately adjacent
to the subject property have an average lot size of 20,570 square feet.
• The Quail Lake subdivision, north of the subject property, has a density of 0.95 dwelling units
per acre with lot sizes ranging from 26,000 to 38,000 square feet. The lots immediately
adjacent to the subject property have an average lot size of 30,644 square feet.
• The Enclave at Whispering Farms subdivision, located east of the subject property and
across Coit Road, has a density of 0.45 dwelling units per acre. The lot sizes range from one
(1) to four (4) acres.
Legal Obligations and Review:
The Planning & Zoning Commission is required to hold a Public Hearing prior to acting on an
amendment to the Future Land Use Plan. Town staff has received five (5) Public Hearing
Notice Reply Forms, all in opposition to the request.

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.

Comprehensive Plan
PARKSIDE FEB 16, 2016
PARKSIDE
STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Prosper’s Comprehensive Plan was adopted in August 2012. At that time, the area where the Parkside
neighborhood is proposed was designated as “Residential Low Density”. Per the Plan, “…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…”
While the property immediately to the south of Parkside was also designated “Residential Low Density”,
it was shown on the Park Master Plan as the future Creek Crossing Community Park. This park is
approximately 69 acres in size.
In November 2015, a Preliminary Master Plan for Sexton Park (Creek Crossing) was approved. The
approved plan for Sexton Park now includes:
8 multi-use sports fields.
4 lighted softball fields with a concession building. Lighting for such a facility is typically on poles
80’ tall.
A community center.
A community amphitheater.
Parking for approximately 900 cars and trucks.
This type of park is inconsistent with the wanting of a rural atmosphere and feel, which was intensely
expressed by Prosper’s residents during the development of the Comprehensive Plan in 2012. This type
of public athletic complex is expected by homeowners living in a neighborhood with more of a suburban
context. This suburban neighborhood is very compatible with the “Residential Medium Density”
designation in the Comprehensive Plan which is being requested.
This request for a Plan amendment is based on the changed conditions outlined above, which were not
known at the time the Plan was originally approved in 2012.
A “suburban” neighborhood is much more compatible with a community park than a rural neighborhood.
Home owners in suburban neighborhoods expect the type of community activities associated with such a
park, while home owners looking for a more rural setting, which the Residential Low Density designation
encourages, are trying to get away from that level of activity.
The design of the neighborhood, as shown on the Parkside Concept Plan with the accompanying rezoning
request, further focuses on the neighborhood’s relationship with the park and its neighbors. An
approximate 4.2 acre green space has been placed along the southern limit of the neighborhood, which is
the northern limit of the park. This area will be planted with trees so over time as they mature, they will
provide a natural screen for the lights in the park. To further deemphasize the park, an approximate 8
acre common green is being preserved in the center of the neighborhood. Both residents’ and guests’
eyes will be drawn to this common amenity as soon as they enter through the neighborhood gates. While
the inclusion of these large greens takes away square footage from individual lots, it is felt that their
presence is much more important to minimizing the park’s negative attributes than having larger lots in
certain portions of the neighborhood.
While the design of the neighborhood needs to acknowledge the park at its southern limits, it also needs
to acknowledge the low density neighborhoods to the north. As such, a tier of 15,000 square foot lots is
proposed along the neighborhood’s north border. These lots are in keeping with the “low density”
PARKSIDE FEB 16, 2016
designation in the Comprehensive Plan for the Deer Run and Quail Lake neighborhoods. Additionally,
since Parkside is proposed to be a gated community, all of the traffic generated by its residents and their
guests will be focused towards Coit Road, which is where the entrance to the neighborhood is proposed.
This will eliminate any impact on these adjoining neighborhoods.
Finally, quality builders are contracted for Parkside and a proven developer is in place. The total build-
out of the neighborhood should be accomplished in 3 years and add a value of over $120 million to the
Prosper tax base. This will only help in making Sexton Park a reality sooner.

exception of the standards which vary from the Town’s requirements, as listed below.
1. Uses – The proposed PD allows for a private street development by right.
2. Thoroughfare Screening – The proposed PD requires a 40’ landscape buffer along Coit Road vs.
the minimum standard of a 25’ landscape buffer.
3. Driveways – The proposed PD requires a minimum 12” wide band of pavers or stamped
concrete. The Zoning Ordinance does not require enhanced driveway paving treatments.
4. Fencing – The proposed PD requires all wood fencing to be board-on-board and requires all
corner lots and fence returns to consist of ornamental metal. The Fence Ordinance only requires
board-on-board fencing where the fence is adjacent to and visible from a street. The ordinance
does not require ornamental fencing on corner lots and fence returns.

• 92 Type 3 lots are proposed. Type 3 lots deviate from the SF-10 District standards by
increasing the minimum lot area, lot depth, interior side yard setback, house size and lot
coverage, and decreasing the minimum rear yard setback.
Page 3 of 4
• 6 Type 4 lots are proposed. Type 4 lots deviate from the SF-10 District standards by
increasing the minimum lot area, lot depth, house size, and lot coverage. The minimum lot
width, interior side yard setback, and rear yard setback reflect a decrease from the SF-10
District standards.
Side Yards/Separation Between Homes – With the request for lots less than 15,000 sq. ft., the
applicant was requested to maintain a more “open feel” of the subdivision by increasing the
distance between the homes. The SF-15 District requires a minimum ten-foot side yard
setback; thereby creating 20 feet of open space between homes. The higher density single
family zoning districts permit an eight-foot side yard setback. With the exception of the
requested Lot Type 4 (min. 10,125 sq. ft.), the applicant was able to provide a ten-foot side yard
setback for Lot Type 2 (min. 12,600 sq. ft.) and Lot Type 3 (min. 10,800 sq. ft.)
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Low Density Residential for
the property. Low Density Residential recommends a maximum of 1.6 dwelling units per acre,
with single family residential lot sizes ranging between 15,000 square feet to 1+ acre. The
zoning request does not conform to the existing Future Land Use Plan. The companion item is
a request to amend the Future Land Use Plan for Medium Density Residential uses on the
property to accommodate the zoning request for lots less than 15,000 sq. ft.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is adjacent to Coit Road, a major thoroughfare. The zoning
exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer services have been extended
to the property.
Access – Primary access to the property will be provided from Coit Road via a gated entry.
Secondary, gated access will be provided via Hawkwood Lane in the Deer Run subdivision.
Hawkwood Lane is an existing street stub that was constructed at the time of development of
Deer Run for the purpose of providing connectivity to the subject property when it develops.
Schools – This property is served by the Prosper Independent School District. It is not
anticipated that a school site will be needed on this property.
Parks – It is not anticipated that this property will be needed for the development of a park.
Environmental Considerations – No 100-year floodplain exists on the property.
Deed Restrictions
The applicant has indicated that the quality of the subdivision and the design of the homes will
be governed by private restrictions and covenants that will go beyond traditional land use
standards governed by zoning. Staff requests that prior to filing an application for the first Final
Plat, the developer provide a copy of the filed restrictions.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Notification was provided to neighboring property owners, Homeowner’s Associations, and
Prosper ISD as required by state law. Town staff has received six (6) Public Hearing Notice
Reply Forms, all in opposition to the request.
Attached Documents:
1. Surrounding zoning map
2. Proposed Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E
Page 4 of 4
3. Public Hearing Notice Reply Forms.
Town Staff Recommendation:
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 (CA16-0001).
1. If the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the amendment to the Future
Land Use Plan, the Commission should recommend approval of the zoning request with the
following condition:
a. Prior to filing an application for the first Final Plat, the developer shall provide a copy
of the deed restrictions.
2. If the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends denial of the amendment to the Future Land
Use Plan, the Commission should deny the zoning request.
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 meeting on April 12, 2016.

PARKSIDE
STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
Parkside is intended to be a high quality, gated, single family neighborhood which is compatible with its
surrounding uses. It is anticipated the neighborhood will have a broad mix of residents ranging from
empty nesters in 1-story homes to families drawn to the community and schools in larger, 2-story homes.
Parkside will provide an opportunity to create a place that has the quality of life Prosper residents expect
as well as easy access to other areas in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro-plex.
Parkside reflects the timeless design principles which are aimed at creating comfortable and attractive
places for families to live. Your arrival into the neighborhood reflects the balance between the manmade
and natural environments.
This relationship is further highlighted with the design of Parkside. The neighborhood is designed with
an emphasis on a centrally located common green. Many of the streets within the neighborhood terminate
at the green drawing both residents and visitors to this significant neighborhood amenity. Other streets
draw your attention to the natural environment by terminating at tree lined creeks and their associated
environs.
In concert with the design of the neighborhood, development standards have been created to complement
existing nearby neighborhoods by building upon major trends in household type, characteristics, and
preferences as a means of enhancing the attractiveness of the area.
This thoughtful coalescence of public and private realms creates a neighborhood attractive to a broad
assortment of groups wanting to call Prosper home.
