Requested Zoning – S14-0001 is a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Private or
Parochial School, on 7.1± acres, located on the southwest corner of First Street and Coit Road.
The property is zoned Planned Development-6 (PD-6).
The attached Exhibit B shows the proposed layout which consists of 34,000 square feet of
building area which will be constructed in multiple phases. The building will include church, day
care, and private or parochial school uses. There are 147 parking spaces to accommodate 350

Agenda Item No. 8. - Page 1 of 3
seats in the church, 128 students and eight teachers for the day care, and six classrooms for
the private or parochial school.
The Zoning Ordinance contains four criteria to be considered in determining the validity of a
SUP request. These criteria, as well as staff’s responses for each, are below:
1. Is the use harmonious and compatible with its surrounding existing uses or proposed uses?
The surrounding properties are single family residential uses to the south and west,
undeveloped land zoned for single family residential uses to the east, and undeveloped land
owned by the Town and designated as a future community park to the north. Private or
parochial schools are typically located either in, or adjacent to, single family residential
districts. Therefore, the proposed use is harmonious and compatible with the surrounding
existing and proposed uses.
2. Are the activities requested by the applicant normally associated with the requested use?
The activities requested by the applicant, as shown on Exhibit B, are normally associated
with the use of a Private or Parochial School.
3. Is the nature of the use reasonable?
The property is zoned Planned Development-6-Residential and the Future Land Use Plan
(FLUP) recommends Medium Density Residential uses for the property. Church and day
care uses are permitted by right on the property. The proposed private or parochial school
use is harmonious with other permitted uses on the property. The nature of the proposed
use is reasonable.
4. Has any impact on the surrounding area been mitigated?
In conjunction with preliminary site plan approval, the Planning & Zoning Commission
approved a solid living screen in a 25 foot landscape setback along the western and
southern property lines, consisting of 1 large evergreen tree, planted on 30 foot centers, 3
inch caliper minimum at the time of planting, and evergreen shrubs, planted on 6 foot
centers, 45 gallon and 8 foot in height at the time of planting, in lieu of a masonry wall.
Additionally, the attached Exhibit B shows a parking field along the eastern side of the
property and a detention area along the south side of the property which creates an
increased buffer area between the adjacent residential lots and the proposed building and
uses. The impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated.
The proposed Private or Parochial School use is harmonious and compatible with the
surrounding existing uses and the proposed uses in the Medium Density Residential District.
The impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated. Therefore, this request satisfies the
Town’s criteria for SUP approval.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends Medium Density
Residential uses for the property. Church and day care uses are permitted by right on the
property, while the proposed private or parochial school use is harmonious with other permitted
uses on the property, therefore this request conforms to the FLUP.
Conformance to the Thoroughfare Plan – The property has direct access to Coit Road, a future
six-lane divided thoroughfare, and First Street, an existing four-lane divided thoroughfare. The
SUP exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Agenda Item No. 8. - Page 2 of 3
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer services have been extended

Requested Zoning – S14-0004 is a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Commercial
Antenna, on 5.4± acres, located on the east side of Prosper Commons Boulevard, 300± feet
south of Richland Boulevard. The property is zoned Commercial (C). The attached SUP
Exhibit A shows the boundary of the subject property, including the 553 square foot lease area
internal to the site. Exhibit B depicts,
o the conceptual layout of the lease area, including the 100-foot commercial antenna,
o related antenna equipment,
o equipment canopy at a height of nine feet (9’), two inches (2”),
o an eight-foot (8)’ high masonry screening wall, and
o landscaping.
Exhibit C depicts,
o the details of the screening wall,
o antenna equipment, and
o the equipment canopy
Exhibit D depicts,
o the elevations of the commercial antenna, which is proposed to be painted “Prosper Brown”,
the same color as the elevated storage tank at the southeast corner of First Street and
Coleman Street, and
o the elevations of the screening wall, consisting of brick to match the material of the mini-
warehouse building on the same lot.
Exhibit F depicts the proposed landscaping locations, including three (3) Nellie R. Stevens
Hollies, 45-gallon, on six-foot center along the north side of the lease area.
The proposed Commercial Antenna does not conform to the minimum requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance; does not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan; poses a safety concern
to the surrounding area; and has the potential capability of being located in a more appropriate
location within nearby vicinity.
The subject property is located within the Commercial (C) District which permits a maximum
height of 40 feet. The proposed height of the antenna support structure is 100 feet. The
surrounding properties have a maximum height of 40 feet as well; therefore the 100-foot tall
support structure would cause a visual height impact to the surrounding area. 100-foot
structures are permitted in the Commercial Corridor and the Industrial Districts.
The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends US 380 District for the property. As indicated
on page 56 of the Comprehensive Plan, which is attached for reference, the FLUP indicates the
character of development along US 380 will include wide setbacks, large landscape buffers, and
significant landscaping, in order to protect the visual appearance of the corridor. The proposed
antenna support structure and equipment have minimal setbacks, being approximately one-foot
from both the north and south boundary of the lease area, and there is minimal landscaping,
with only three shrubs being proposed along the north side of the lease area. Additionally, the
eight-foot masonry screening wall proposed to screen the nine-foot, two-inch equipment canopy
with a metal roof, is not an adequate height to screen the equipment canopy. Overall, the visual
appearance of the corridor has not been protected.
Agenda Item No. 9. - Page 2 of 4
The proposed 100-foot Commercial Antenna and support structure is located within 100 feet of
an existing office / mini-warehouse development, including parking rows, and public access
drive aisles. Because the existing development is located within the fall zone of the proposed
antenna there are safety concerns with the proposed location. It is recommended that the
proposed Commercial Antenna be located in an area that provides a distance greater than the
height of the antenna away from existing and future structures and public access areas, to
prevent safety hazards associated with potential failure of the antenna.
Within the vicinity (less than 2,000 feet away) of the subject property there are existing
overhead electric transmission lines and support structures, an elementary school, a middle
school, Town park light structures, a 3-story multifamily development, and commercial buildings.
Staff recommends that the applicant adequately demonstrate that the proposed location of the
Commercial Antenna cannot be located on top of, or attached to, one of the nearby structures in
order to minimize the impact on the surrounding area.
The Zoning Ordinance contains four criteria to be considered in determining the validity of a
SUP request. These criteria, as well as staff’s responses for each, are below:
1. Is the use harmonious and compatible with its surrounding existing uses or proposed uses?
The proposed Commercial Antenna is adjacent to undeveloped property zoned for
Commercial (C) with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for mini-warehouse to the north,
undeveloped property zoned Planned Development-2 (PD-2) for Corridor District uses to the
east and west, and an existing office / mini-warehouse development to the south. For the
aforementioned reasons regarding nonconformance to the height requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance, the intended character of the US 380 District called for in the Future
Land Use Plan (FLUP), and concerns with safety of the surrounding area, the proposed
Commercial Antenna is not harmonious and compatible with the surrounding existing uses
or proposed uses.
2. Are the activities requested by the applicant normally associated with the requested use?
The activities requested by the applicant of a Commercial Antenna, as shown on Exhibit B,
are normally associated with the use of a Commercial Antenna.
3. Is the nature of the use reasonable?
The property is currently zoned Commercial (C) and the Future Land Use Plan (FLUP)
recommends US 380 District uses for the property. The proposed use is reasonable for the
C District, but it is not reasonable for the character called for in the FLUP in the US 380
District.
4. Has any impact on the surrounding area been mitigated?
The proposed 100-foot Commercial Antenna is adjacent to and within 100 feet an existing
office / mini-warehouse development, and because the existing development is located
within the fall zone of the proposed antenna the impact on the surrounding area has not
been mitigated.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends US 380 District for the
property. The FLUP indicates the character of US 380 will include wide setbacks, large
landscape buffers, and significant landscaping, in order to protect the visual appearance of the
corridor. The proposed SUP does not conform to the FLUP, as the visual appearance of US
380 will be compromised.
Agenda Item No. 9. - Page 3 of 4
Conformance to the Thoroughfare Plan – The property has access to US 380, an existing 6-lane
divided thoroughfare, and Richland Boulevard, an existing 4-lane divided thoroughfare, via
Prosper Commons Boulevard. The SUP exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer service have been extended to
the property.
Access – Access to the property is provided from Prosper Commons Boulevard. Adequate
access is provided to the property.
Schools – This property is located within the Prosper Independent School District (PISD). 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 – There is no 100-year floodplain located on the property.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to
approve the SUP request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners as required
by state law. Town staff has received one public hearing notice reply form, in opposition to the
request.

2. Zoning map of surrounding area.

6. Public hearing notice reply form.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the request for a Specific Use
Permit (SUP) for a Commercial Antenna, on 5.4± acres, located on the east side of Prosper
Commons Boulevard, 300± feet south of Richland Boulevard.

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Highway 380
Land Use
Of the three major corridors, Highway 380 contains the
longest stretch of potential development. Generally
speaking, land uses along the Highway 380 Corridor were
seen to be more commercial in nature. Unlike Preston Road
and the Dallas North Tollway, big-box retail scored relatively
well along Highway 380, in addition to office, hotel uses,
retail centers and service uses, such as a gas station and fast
food restaurant. Similar to the other categories, industrial
uses, including warehouses, were not seen as a highly
appropriate use along the Highway 380 corridor. Due to the
length of the corridor, a variety of land uses will be located
along the corridor. Typically speaking, retail and service
establishments will locate adjacent to Highway 380 and
along major intersections, in a nodal pattern of activity.
Such uses capitalize on higher traffic counts and require a
higher degree of visibility. Big box uses may also be located
along the corridor, but pad sites should be located adjacent
to Highway 380 to capitalize on visibility and pass-by trips.
Residential uses, such as patio homes, snout homes and
townhomes and brownstones may be located within this
district. Such uses will likely be used as a buffer between
more intense uses along Highway 380 and lower intensity
residential neighborhoods to the north. Such uses may also
be located mid-block, reserving major intersections for retail
and commercial uses.
Character
The character of Highway 380 will be much more
commercial in nature. Wide setbacks with large
landscape buffering will protect the visual appearance of
the corridor, while still allowing more intense
commercial land uses to operate. Big Box retailers may
be permitted, but they should be designed to the highest
possible quality, incorporating significant landscaping,
high quality materials, such as stone and brick, and
should contain architectural enhancements and building
articulation.
Medium and high density residential options may be
included within the Highway 380 corridor but such uses
should be carefully designed to protect, enhance and
buffer low density neighborhoods to the north from
more intense development along Highway 380.
