Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – August 18, 2015
Agenda Item:
Discussion on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance regarding permitted land uses.
Description of Agenda Item/Background:
During the August 11, 2015 Town Council meeting, staff provided a briefing regarding numerous
land uses in the Zoning Ordinance which should be re-evaluated in terms of the
appropriateness of the use being permitted by right or permitted upon approval of a Specific
Use Permit (SUP) or eliminated if it is an antiquated term. Staff also noted several antiquated
land use terms that may need to be amended or removed from the Zoning Ordinance. The
Town Council provided direction to proceed with the amendments and initiate the required
Public Hearings.
The following is a draft list of proposed land use chart amendments.
Use Comments Proposed Amendment
Pawn Shop Permitted by right in the Commercial
and Industrial Districts. State Law
requires the use to be permitted by
right in at least one zoning district.
Permit the use only by right in
the Industrial District.
Payday
Loans/Cash for Car
titles
These lending businesses meet the
definition of a “Bank or Savings and
Loan” and would be permitted by
right in all non-residential districts.
Per a recommendation from
the Town Attorney, these
businesses should be
regulated in Chapter 4,
Business Regulations of the
Town’s Code of Ordinances.
The ordinance can contain
criteria for the definition,
registration, operation and
location/minimum spacing of
the businesses.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.

and operation of the donation
boxes.

Commercial Corridor and Industrial
Districts and permitted by SUP in the
Retail District. Due to the open
storage and display of the trailers,

Townhome and Multifamily
Districts to regulate as an
age-restricted development.
Helistop (Helicopter
landing pad)
Permitted by SUP in the Office,

“Meeting/Banquet Facility”
and require SUP in the Retail,

Corridor Districts.

be considered as a retail
establishment.
Household
Appliance Service
and Repair
Antiquated term. Reclassify as “Repair Service,
Indoor,” and permit by right in
all non-residential districts
except for Office and
Downtown Office Districts.

Districts. It is implied that that the use
does not permit an on-site crematory.
Amend as conditional use in
the same districts and require

services.
Restaurant or
Cafeteria
“Cafeteria” is an antiquated term. A
“Luby’s” or “Furr’s” is considered a
restaurant.
Amend term to read,
“Restaurant.”
Bottling Works Antiquated term. An operation that
bottles beverages can be
accommodated as a “General
Manufacturing/Industrial Use.”
Delete the term.
Auto-related Uses
and Restaurants
with Drive-thru or
Drive-in Services
The “Development Requirements” of
the Zoning Ordinance require that
buildings and equipment associated
with these uses be a minimum of 200
feet from a residential district. This
requirement is often overlooked by
the development community in their
research of the Zoning Ordinance.
Note this requirement as a
conditional use in the Use
Chart. No change regarding
the permitted districts.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff requests that the Planning & Zoning Commission provide input on the proposed
amendments.
