Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – April 15, 2014
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a request to rezone 621.1± acres, located on the northeast and
northwest corners of U.S. 380 and Preston Road, from Planned Development-2 (PD-2),
Planned Development-3 (PD-3), Planned Development-13 (PD-13), Agricultural (A), and Single
Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family-
10/Townhome/Multifamily/Office/Retail/Commercial (PD-SF-10/TH/MF/O/R/C). (Z09-0013).
History:
The Planning & Zoning Commission held the required public hearing at the April 1, 2014
meeting. After discussing the item, the Planning & Zoning Commission tabled the item to April
15, 2014 to allow time for Commissioners to send comments to Town staff, so those comments
could be compiled into one set of comments to be emailed to the applicant. The comments
were emailed to the applicant on April 8, 2014 and are attached for your review. The applicant
has submitted revised zoning exhibits in a redline format and a clean (blackline) format (see
attached). The revised zoning exhibits:
1. Address all of Town staff’s recommended conditions of approval from the April 1, 2014 staff
report. Town staff’s recommendation has been revised to reflect these changes.
2. Limit the area that stand-alone multifamily units may be constructed in Subdistrict 2 and 3.
(Exhibit C, Section 3.4(7))
3. Include additional language describing the purpose of the conceptual renderings and
photographs included in Exhibit C.
4. Revise Exhibit C, Section 4.2.3 to apply the maximum number of 300 residential dwelling
units allowed within Subdistrict 3 to multifamily only (previously applied to multifamily and
townhomes units).
5. Include language clarifying that Alcohol Sales shall comply with all the conditional standards
in the Town’s Zoning Ordinance as it exists or may be amended. (Exhibit C, Section 6.7)
Description of Agenda Item:
The zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows:

Existing Zoning:
The property is currently zoned Agricultural, Single Family-15, PD-2-Corridor, PD-3-Single
Family/Multifamily/Retail/Commercial/Office, and PD-13-Retail. PD-2, PD-3, and PD-13 are
attached for your review. The majority of the area is located within PD-3 and PD-13. The
existing zoning primarily allows for office/retail/commercial uses in areas shown as red on the
attached zoning map and the list of permitted uses is extensive. The existing zoning also allows
for industrial uses in the areas shown as purple, single family residential uses in the area shown
as yellow and multifamily units in the area shown as orange on the attached zoning map.
The PD-3-Single Family district is located south and west of Rucker Elementary and First
Baptist. The zoning allows for a maximum of 220 dwelling units at 3.7 units per acre, but 90%
of the lots shall be a minimum of 10,000 square feet. The district allows up to 10% patio homes
(5,000 square foot lots).
The PD-3-Multifamily district is located on two tracts, one east of Preston and one west of
Preston (areas shown in orange). The zoning allows for 504 garden style dwelling units at 15
units per acre. Development of the multifamily cannot begin until the single family is developed
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 3 of 10
and a minimum of 6 acres of retail/commercial development has commenced. The zoning also
allows for the development of single family homes, townhomes, retirement housing, church,
private recreation center, daycare, or school in the multifamily tract.
The PD-3 and PD-13 nonresidential standards for the commercial and industrial areas allow for
the use of wood as a primary, exterior building material, limited to 25%. This is not in
conformance with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the list of permitted commercial
and industrial uses in the existing PD is extensive.
Proposed Zoning:
The PD creates 4 subdistricts, as shown on Exhibit A. The subdistricts are:
1. Subdistrict 1 (Regional Retail): Tract 1A is the area along the east side of Preston Road
bounded by US 380 to the south, First Street to the north and future Lovers Lane to the east.
Tract 1A also includes the area along the west side of Preston Road bounded by future
Richland Boulevard to the south, future Lovers Lane to the north and Coleman Street to the
west. Tract 1B is the area along the east side of Preston Road bounded by Willow Ridge to
the south and east, First Street to the north and Craig Street to the west.
2. Subdistrict 2 (Lifestyle Center): This is the area along the west side of Preston Road
bounded by US 380 to the south, future Richland Boulevard and future Lovers Lane to the
north, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad to the west and Coleman Street and Preston
Road to the east.
3. Subdistrict 3 (Downtown Center): This area is north of Subdistrict 2 and is bounded by future
Lovers Lane to the south, First Street to the north, Coleman Street to the east and the limits
of the property west of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.
4. Subdistrict 4 (Residential Neighborhood): This is the area west of Preston Road bounded by
future Lovers Lane to the south, Coleman Street to the west and the limits of the property to
the north adjacent to Rucker Elementary.
Subdistrict 1 – Regional Retail – Shall serve the purpose of providing for the needs of the
community by facilitating the development of regional-serving retail, personal service, and office
uses, including large scale big box retailers.
The maximum building height is 2 stories (40 feet). The permitted building materials and
architectural standards are generally consistent with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. The
proposed PD includes conceptual architectural renderings, which are representative of the
material architectural elements that are intended to be incorporated into the proposed retail
development, but the renderings are provided for illustrative purposes and are not intended to
be interpreted as exact representations of the proposed development.
Subdistrict 2 – Lifestyle Center – Shall serve the purpose of providing a compact, neighborhood
and pedestrian scale mixture of office, retail, personal service, residential and community
activities on single or contiguous building sites. The design guidelines and architectural
standards are intended to define the “Town Center” design theme for this subdistrict by
providing opportunities for mixed-use development that includes both vertical and/or horizontal
integration. Urban design elements will be incorporated into the construction of the multifamily
developments, and building designed to provide active street-fronts that encourage pedestrian
activity. The provision of centrally located open space elements coupled with the proposed
development standards will allow for a pedestrian-friendly community. The lifestyle center is
intended to be unique in nature to create an image which will encourage a regional draw from
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 4 of 10
the Metroplex and include entertainment type uses, as well as big box users, which will attract
patrons from other cities in and around the Metroplex.
The requested floor area ratios (FAR) in the PD are significantly greater than those allowed in
the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. This allows for a much more dense and urban development. For
comparison, the Commercial Corridor District allows for a maximum FAR of 1.5:1.
The maximum building height for a hotel, office, and hospital is 12 stories (145 feet). The
maximum height for multifamily or mixed use is 5 stories (80 feet). The maximum height for a
townhome is 3 stories (40 feet). The maximum height of a parking structure is 4 stories (80
feet). All other non-residential uses shall have a maximum height of 5 stories (80 feet). All
buildings within 150 feet of single family shall not exceed 2 stories (40 feet) in height. The
requested maximum building height for a hotel, office, and hospital exceed the maximum
building height of 8 stories (100 feet) in the Town’s Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to the permitted retail, service, and office uses, Subdistrict 2 allows for the
development of up to a maximum of 927 high density residential dwelling units (multifamily
and/or townhome). The minimum density of the multifamily development is 24 dwelling units per
net acre, excluding vertical mixed use, which does not have a minimum density. Vertical mixed
use style apartments are typically between 40 to 100 dwelling units per acre. For comparison
purposes, the Prosper West PD-41 on the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and US
380 requires a minimum of 40 dwelling units per acre. The maximum density of the townhome
development is 10 dwelling units per acre. Building setbacks have been reduced to allow for
the “urban” feel of a mixed use development. In previous conversations with the applicant, the
maximum number of townhomes was 250; 100 townhomes in Subdistrict 2 and 150 in
Subdistrict 3. Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission decide on whether or
not to include a specific maximum limit on the number of townhomes.
The PD does include timing requirements for multifamily development, allowing construction of
up to 300 multifamily units once at least 250,000 square feet of retail development and
subsequent evidence of contracted tenants in at least 70 percent of the space is provided. Upon
completion of at least 500,000 square feet of retail and with subsequent evidence of contracted
tenants in at least 70 percent of the space, the developer may construct up to a total of 927
multifamily units. This would allow for all 927 units of multifamily units to develop after 500,000
square feet of retail develops in Subdistrict 1, prior to any non-residential development
commencing in Subdistricts 2 or 3. Townhomes are not required to comply with these timing
requirements per the proposed PD. The existing zoning requires the developer complete the
single family residential tract prior to the development of the multifamily units. The proposed PD
does not include this requirement.
The permitted building materials and architectural standards for non-residential, multifamily, and
townhome buildings are generally consistent with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
PD includes conceptual photographs of the multifamily and townhome construction in
Subdistricts 2 and 3 and notes the photos are provided as illustrative examples and are not
intended to be interpreted as exact representations of the proposed development, rather they
are a representation of the material architectural elements intended to be incorporated into this
development.
Additional multifamily criteria are included in the PD that requires the multifamily construction in
Subdistricts 2 and 3 to conform to the following urban-style criteria:
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 5 of 10
1. Buildings will be oriented toward perimeter streets such that buildings adjacent to streets with
on-street parallel parking shall be constructed to a “build-to” line. That is a line parallel to the
street where the primary façade of the building must be built to. The build-to line will be
determined during the site planning process based upon the minimum distance that will allow
the required landscaping and pedestrian sidewalks to be installed between the building and
adjacent street. In no case shall the build-to line be less than the minimum building setback
required.
2. A minimum of 40 percent of the units will have private garages.
3. On-street parallel parking along public and private streets other than major or minor
thoroughfares is required and is allowed to count towards the required parking for the
adjacent development.
4. All on-site surface parking will be located towards the interior of the site to minimize viewing
from surrounding public streets.
5. Tandem parking (ie. One parking space behind either a garage or carport parking space)
shall be allowed and considered in the calculation of the required parking.
6. Front porches and/or stoops are required on facades with front public streets.
7. Stand-alone multifamily development will be restricted to the area within Subdistrict 2 that is
west of Coleman Street and north of the proposed retail development and/or Richland
Boulevard. Any stand-alone multifamily development in Subdistrict 3 will be restricted to the
area west of Coleman Street and a minimum of 750 feet south of First Street.
8. Sidewalks with a minimum clear width of six feet shall be constructed along all public streets
adjacent to multifamily developments. Clear width shall be increased to seven feet adjacent
to vertical mixed use developments.
9. A buffer region shall be established along all streets having on-street parking. The buffer
regions shall have a minimum width of six feet and shall be continuous and located adjacent
to the curb. This region shall be planted with street trees located at a minimum of four feet
from the curb at an average spacing of 30 feet on center. Street trees shall be a minimum of
3 inch caliper when planted. Root barriers shall be used in conjunction with all street trees.
10. Street furniture consisting of a minimum of a bench and a waste receptacle shall be located
within the buffer area in at least one location along each block.
Subdistrict 3 – Downtown Center – Shall serve the purpose of providing an active living and
working community benefiting and enhancing the existing downtown area located on the north
side of First Street. Subdistrict 3 allows for the development of a mixed use development and/or
a retail/office development. In addition to the permitted retail, service, and office uses,
Subdistrict 3 allows for the development of up to a maximum of 300 multifamily dwelling units.
The maximum number of residential dwelling units (multifamily and/or townhome) in the entire
PD District is 927 units. The minimum density of the multifamily development is 24 dwelling
units per net acre. The maximum density of the townhome development is 10 dwelling units per
acre. Building setbacks have been reduced to allow for the “urban” feel of a mixed use
development.
The PD does include timing requirements for multifamily development, allowing construction of
up to 300 multifamily units once at least 250,000 square feet of retail development and
subsequent evidence of contracted tenants in at least 70 percent of the space is provided. Upon
completion of at least 500,000 square feet of retail and with subsequent evidence of contracted
tenants in at least 70 percent of the space, the developer may construct up to a total of 927
multifamily units. This would allow for all 927 units of multifamily units to develop after 500,000
square feet of retail develops in Subdistrict 1, prior to any non-residential development
commencing in Subdistricts 2 or 3. Townhomes are not required to comply with these timing
requirements per the proposed PD. The existing zoning requires the developer complete the
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 6 of 10
single family residential tract prior to the development of the multifamily units. The proposed PD
does not include this requirement.
The permitted building materials and architectural standards for non-residential, multifamily, and
townhome buildings are generally consistent with the Town’s Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
PD includes conceptual photographs of the multifamily and townhome construction in
Subdistricts 2 and 3 and notes the photos are provided as illustrative examples and are not
intended to be interpreted as exact representations of the proposed development, rather they
are a representation of the material architectural elements intended to be incorporated into this
development.
The maximum building height for a hospital or office is 8 stories (100 feet). The maximum height
for multifamily or hotel is 5 stories (80 feet). The maximum height for a townhome is 3 stories
(40 feet). The maximum height of a parking structure is 4 stories (80 feet). All other non-
residential uses shall have a maximum height of 4 stories (60 feet). No structure with 750’ of
First Street shall exceed 4 stories, but the PD does not include a maximum height. Staff
recommends a maximum height of 60 feet.
Subdistrict 3 also allows for various wholesale/warehouse, manufacturing and light industrial
uses on the triangular shaped tract west of the BNSF railroad.
Subdistrict 4 – Residential Neighborhood – Shall serve the purpose of providing a planned
residential community to serve the needs of the Town by facilitating a range of housing
opportunities. The base district is Single Family-10. Subdistrict 4 allows for the development of
up to 200 single family lots with a minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet. Development
standards for each the lots are further described in Exhibit C, Section 5. The proposed PD
includes conceptual elevations which are provided for illustrative purposes and are not intended
to represent exact renderings or plans of the buildings depicted. These renderings are provided
as representative examples of the material architectural elements that are intended for this
development.

General Requirements
Section 6 of Exhibit C includes the following requirements:
1. Conceptual Development Plan – Requires plats and site plans to conform to the conceptual
development plan. Also allows Town staff to approve minor changes in Subdistrict
boundaries.
2. Open Space – The proposed open space requirements are generally consistent with the
Town’s Zoning Ordinance.
3. Parking Requirements – Includes general standards for parking and requirements based on
use.
4. Detention Ponds – If no prohibitive regulatory permitting issues or design constraints exist,
the detention ponds located adjacent to Preston Road or at other high visibility locations as
generally depicted on Exhibit D, will be constructed to maintain a constant normal pool
elevation.
5. Landscaping – Includes unique landscape standards due to the nature of the proposed
development. The other standards not mentioned shall comply with the Town’s Zoning
Ordinance.
6. Signage – The developer shall follow the Town’s sign ordinance with the understanding it can
create a special purpose sign district for each development phase to meet the unique needs
of the overall development.
7. Permitted Use Matrix – The permitted uses are listed for each subdistrict.
Future Land Use Plan – On Page 32 of the Comprehensive Plan, the Town Center District is
defined as 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. It should be noted that the style of
multifamily preferred are styles that are typically integrated vertically or horizontally with non-
residential uses and not intended to be garden style type developments.
Pages 41–43 of the Comprehensive Plan further define the differences between the horizontal
and vertical mixed-use type developments. Horizontal mixed-uses involve retail, office and
residential all located within one defined area, but within separate buildings. Vertical mixed-use
developments would include any combination of retail, office and residential within the same
building. A common example of vertical mixed-use is residential lofts and apartments above
street level retail and office space. Examples of vertical mixed-use developments are Shops at
Legacy in Plano, Watters Creek in Allen and the West Village/State-Thomas areas of Dallas.
Vertical mixed-use development was preferred by Prosper residents. The Comprehensive Plan
indicates that the most opportunistic location for a Town Center, a large mixed-use district,
would be the area roughly bounded by First Street to the north, Highway 380 to the south,
BNSF Railroad to the west and Preston Road to the east.
Included in the staff report are pages 54-56 of the Comprehensive Plan, which pertain to the
visioning exercises conducted along the three major corridors in Prosper: Preston Road, Dallas
North Tollway and Highway 380. Preston Road was described as “our road” since it traverses
the center of the community. Retail, office and some medium density residential will be located
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 8 of 10
along Preston Road on the southern end of the Town, gradually becoming more residential in
nature as it moves north. Small scale office and retail may be located in certain areas along
Preston Road and these should be the types of uses which service adjacent neighborhoods.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property has direct access to U.S. 380, a future six lane divided
thoroughfare; First Street, a future four lane divided thoroughfare west of Coleman Street and
east of Craig Road, with a variable right-of-way in between; Lovers Lane, a future four lane
divided thoroughfare; Preston Road, a future six lane divided thoroughfare; and Coleman Street,
a future four lane divided thoroughfare. The zoning exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water service has been extended to the property;
however, sanitary sewer service will have to be extended to the property either before or with
development.
Access – Access to the property will be provided from existing U.S. 380, existing First Street,
existing Coleman Street, existing Craig Road, future Lovers Lane, and existing Preston Road.
Adequate access is provided to the property.
Schools – This property is located within the Prosper Independent School District (PISD). Any
future school sites are to be determined at the time of preliminary plat.
Parks – The PD does not include standards for park land dedication, so the requirements will
fall back to the Town’s Subdivision Ordinance unless superseded by a developer’s agreement.
Environmental Considerations – The 100 year floodplain located on the property is shown on
Exhibits A and D.
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. Town staff has received sixteen public hearing notice reply forms, with twelve in
opposition.

Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission consider the following items prior to
taking action on the proposed PD:
1. Conceptual Elevations or Renderings – Subdistrict 1 includes conceptual renderings of non-
residential buildings in a “power center” design for illustrative purposes only. Subdistricts 2
Agenda Item No. 5 - Page 9 of 10
and 3 do not include conceptual elevations or renderings for non-residential buildings. The
proposed PD includes conceptual photos of multifamily and townhomes as illustrative
examples of the style that may be developed in Subdistrict 2 and 3. The proposed PD also
includes conceptual elevations of the single family homes in Subdistrict 4 for illustrative
purposes. The Planning & Zoning Commission may consider including a process to allow
the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the Town Council to approve conceptual
elevations or renderings prior to preliminary site plan/preliminary plat submittal.
2. Maximum Number of Townhomes – A previous submittal of the proposed PD included a
maximum of 100 townhomes in Subdistrict 2 and 150 townhomes in Subdistrict 3. Currently
the proposed PD allows for the development of 927 townhomes.
3. Location Requirements for Townhomes – The proposed PD does not include restrictions on
the location of townhomes within Subdistrict 2 or 3.
4. Minimum Density of Multifamily – Mixed use lofts/apartments are appropriate in the Town
Center District. The Multifamily construction criteria are located in Exhibit C, Section 3.4 of
the Prosper PD. The Comprehensive Plan notes vertical mixed use was preferred by
Prosper residents. Typical mixed use developments in the surrounding area, such as Shops
at Legacy, Waters Creek, or West Village/State of Thomas, are 4 to 5 stories in height and
have higher densities, such as 40-100 dwelling units per acre. The proposed PD allows for a
minimum density of 24 dwelling units per acre. Garden style apartments are typically 15-21
dwelling units per acre.
5. Timing Requirements for Multifamily Construction – The PD does include timing requirements
for multifamily development, allowing construction of up to 300 multifamily units once at least
250,000 square feet of retail development and subsequent evidence of contracted tenants in
at least 70 percent of the space is provided. Upon completion of at least 500,000 square feet
of retail and with subsequent evidence of contracted tenants in at least 70 percent of the
space, the developer may construct up to a total of 927 multifamily units. This would allow for
all 927 units of multifamily units to develop after 500,000 square feet of retail develops in
Subdistrict 1, prior to any non-residential development commencing in Subdistricts 2 or 3.
Townhomes are not required to comply with these timing requirements per the proposed PD.
The existing zoning requires the developer complete the single family residential tract
(Subdistrict 4) prior to the development of the multifamily units, but only six acres of non-
residential development. The proposed PD does not include this requirement. For reference
purposes, the Prosper West PD-41, on the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and
US 380, requires a minimum of 80 percent of the first floor nonresidential square footage of
buildings containing residential units shall have Certificates of Occupancy issued for them
prior to the issuance of any building permit for an additional phase of residential units
subsequent to the first phase (Please note this is only for the vertical mixed use buildings
though, not non-residential buildings). There is also language in PD-41 that requires a
minimum of 75 percent of the residential units of each phase to be leased prior to the
issuance of any building permits for an additional phase of residential units subsequent to the
first phase.
6. Building Height – The PD allows for a maximum building height for a hotel, office, and
hospital of 12 stories (145 feet) in Subdistrict 2. The requested maximum building height for
a hotel, office, and hospital exceeds the maximum building height of 8 stories (100 feet) in the
Town’s Zoning Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan only supports mid-rise office buildings
(up to 12 stories) in the Tollway District.
Once the Planning & Zoning Commission has considered the previous list of items, Town staff
recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the request to rezone 621.1± acres,
located on the northeast and northwest corners of U.S. 380 and Preston Road, from Planned
Development-2 (PD-2), Planned Development-3 (PD-3), Planned Development-13 (PD-13),

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT OF INTENT & PURPOSE
The purpose of the proposed Planned Development District is to accommodate a mix of office, retail,
personal service, residential and community activities by providing four individual but integrated
Subdistricts. This will be accomplished through the incorporation of the Planned Development Standards
and Design Guidelines contained in Exhibits C and F, respectively. Although the Planned Development
Standards provide criteria for development within each distinct Subdistrict, the Standards are formulated
in such a manner as to allow each Subdistrict to develop as one integral part of the collective Planned
Development.
The Conceptual Development Plan includes vehicular and pedestrian linkages that serve both functional
and aesthetic roles. The proposed thoroughfare system has been designed to allow for safe and efficient
vehicular circulation internal to the site as well as to connect to the existing thoroughfare system external
to the development. Furthermore, focal points and terminuses have been provided within the
thoroughfare system and pedestrian linkages to enhance the visual aesthetic of the overall design.
Pedestrian scale design elements will also be incorporated into the site design in order to foster high
quality street and sidewalk environments.
An essential element to the overall site is the incorporation of an open space system to provide for both
active and passive recreational opportunities. The open space system will consist of landscape and
hardscape elements such as plazas, greens, trails, pathways and parks for the residents and visitors of the
development. These elements within the proposed development will be ultimately located so as to
provide recreational opportunities within convenient proximity to as many users as possible.
The standards contained within this Planned Development District will help to achieve the vision for the
overall development. These standards have been formulated so as to provide specificity where necessary
and provide flexibility to allow for creative design.

3.0 subdistrict 2—LIFESTYLE center
3.1 GENERAL PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
The Life Style Subdistrict will serve the purpose of providing a compact, neighborhood and
pedestrian-scale mixture of office, retail, personal service, residential and community activities on
single or contiguous building sites. The development standards for non-residential and mixed-use
development included in this Subdistrict are generally consistent with the Retail and Office
zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance, while the development
standards for residential development are generally consistent with the Townhome and
Multifamily zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance. The Design
Guidelines and architectural standards are intended to define the “Town Center” design theme for
this Subdistrict by providing opportunities for mixed -use development that includes both vertical
and/or horizontal integration. Urban design elements will be incorporated into the construction of
the multifamily developments within this project. Buildings will be designed to provide active
street-fronts that encourage pedestrian activity. The buildings will be arranged such that the
viewing of any surface, and/or structured parking is minimal from the surrounding public streets.
These developments will be amenitized with carefully arranged, high -quality open spaces to
provide a maximum number of premium units while also providing a high level of connectivity to
the overall development. The provision of centrally located open space elements coupled with
the proposed development standards will allow for a pedestrian -friendly community. This
lifestyle center is intended to be unique in nature to create an image which will encourage a
regional draw from throughout the Metroplex. It may also include entertainment type uses as
well as Big Box users which would attract patrons from other Cities in and around the Metroplex.
3.2 SITE CRITERIA
3.2.1 Property Development Regulations. The proposed land uses and housing types shall
conform to the property development regulations in this Section. The proposed land uses
within Subdistrict 2 may utilize the Urban Standards in Tables 3 -3, 3-4 and 3-5. In
addition, where Urban Standards are utilized, these standards shall apply to an entire
block length so as not to disrupt the continuity of the streetscape.

4.1 GENERAL PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
The Downtown Center Subdistrict will serve the purpose of providing an active living and
working community benefiting from its proximity to the existing town core and the planned
Lifestyle and/or Regional Retail Centers to the south . The development standards for non-
residential and mixed-use development included in this Subdistrict are generally consistent with
the Retail, Commercial and Office zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning
Ordinance, while the development standards for residential de velopment are generally consistent
with the Townhome and Multifamily zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning
Ordinance and/or the Life Style Standards outline herein. The Design Guidelines and
architectural standards are intended to define the “Downtown Center” design theme for this
Subdistrict by providing opportunities to leverage from the entertainment, office and/or retail
venues located within and/or adjacent to this Subdistrict. Open space elements will be located so
as to provide a central focal element for this Subdistrict, along with a proposed new Town
Hall/Governmental Center. The uses that will be permitted in this Subdistrict will allow for a
flexibility of options including medical campus, office, civic activities, and comple mentary
residential housing. This area could also be developed as a more traditional business
park/governmental center if proven to better fit the market demands for such a use.

Development Schedule
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 57 March 2014
Development Schedule
It is currently anticipated that the development of Gates of Prosper will begin within two to four years
after approval and signing of the zoning ordinance. During this time period, prior to the initial stages of
development, it is foreseen that plans and studies will be prepared for development and marketing of the
property. The development schedule for the approximate 621 acres will be phased over the next 10 to 15
years and is primarily dependent on the marketability of the highest and best use of the land for the
respective land tracts. Progress of development improvements will primarily depend on the time frames
established for construction of thoroughfares, utilities, and market trends/demands for the area.
The development of non-residential uses within Subdistrict 1 and Subdistrict 2 will constitute the initial
phases of development. The development of Urban Living Multifamily residential units in Subdistrict 2 ,
and/or Subdistrict 3 shall not begin until a minimum combined total of 250,000 square feet of
commercial/retail development has been constructed and tenant leases have been established for at least
70 percent of that area. The required commercial/retail development may include regional retail anchors,

a transit station, a mall, a hotel, or another major development anchor as determined by Town Council.
Incorporation of residential units into a mixed -use town center are not subject to the aforementioned
preconditions as long as they are vertically integrated into the retail/commercial structures.
The development schedule is subject to change due to various factors beyond the control of the developer,
such as housing market conditions, construction materials and labor availability, acts of nature, and other
similar conditions.

SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 59 March 2014
Supplemental DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The Town of Prosper is on the cusp of transforming itself from a prosperous f arming community into a
prosperous economic engine and enviable residential neighborhood. The vision for the “Gates of Prosper”
is to be the gateway into Prosper’s new future.
The architectural design principles for this development are intended to reinfo rce a uniform spirit and
character throughout the development while promoting fresh and visionary diversity.
Subdistricts have been carefully planned to maximize vehicular access to transportation
arteries and pedestrian access to future transit systems.
Subdistricts are designed and planned to create a special community that offers the
opportunity to live, work, shop and recreate in an urban environment located in a suburban
area.
Each Subdistrict can have its own identity yet still create a sense of belo nging through use of
consistent iconic markers, streetscape designs, landscape forms, signage, lighting and
architectural building standards. These elements should allow Subdistricts to transition
seamlessly from one to the next.
Public amenities including parks, trails, plazas, interactive areas and gateways are planned to
serve as venues for recreation, entertainment and social interaction.
Pedestrian ways should be memorable through their use of landscaping and lighting, and by
incorporating shade, street furnishings and other sidewalk amenities.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 60 March 2014
SITE DESIGN
The entire site has been effectively designed for efficient land use, as a strong gateway into Prosper and
as a quality environment that resonates a “sense of place”. This design contributes to the overall identity
which adds value to the project as well as the entire community. To promote these benefits the design has
incorporated following features:
Street design and streetscapes including boulevards connecting and traversing through the
different subdistricts.
Gateway icons that announce entry into and welcome residents and guests to the
development. Wayfinding markers that give direction within the development and reinforce
the quality of the development.
Public areas that are accessible and provide for a variety of entertainment and recreational
experiences.
Subdistricts that allow for a crossover of uses while concentrating like uses for the
convenience of residents and guests.
SUBDISTRICT DESIGN
Subdistrict 1—Regional Retail. Subdistrict 1, as depicted on the Conceptual Development
Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing for the needs of the community by
facilitating the development of regional-serving retail, personal service, and office uses.
Subdistrict 2—Lifestyle Center. Subdistrict 2, as depicted on the Conceptual Development
Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing a compact, neighborhood and
pedestrian scale mixture of office, retail, personal service, residential and community
activities on single or contiguous building sites.
Subdistrict 3—Downtown Center. Subdistrict 3, as depicted on the Conceptual
Development Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing an active living and
working community benefiting from its proximity to the existing Town core and the adjacent
Subdistricts.
Subdistrict 4—Residential Neighborhood. Subdistrict 4, as depicted on the Conceptual
Development Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing a planned residential
community to serve the needs of the Town and add a complimentary use to the overall
development.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 61 March 2014
BUILDING DESIGN
Building design is only one element that contributes to the fabric of a community. Although building
design can be the most effective means of translating the character, it has to wor k in concert with all other
designed elements. It is not the intent of this section inhibit but give the freedom to achieve excellence in
building design within the limits of a few design criteria.
BUILDING MASSING AND SCALE. A building's mass or scale is determined by its component
parts, including the size of its footprint, its height, its proportions and its relationship to surrounding
buildings. Individual characteristics of mass and scale include:
Form: A buildings form should have a relationship to the proposed streetscape that
contributes to a comfortable environment and pleasing pedestrian experience. Its form should
also be in context with surrounding buildings.
Shape: A buildings shape should incorporate variations in height, rooflines and wall planes
and be expressive without seeming unnatural.
Scale: The use may be a determining factor in the size of a building. Incorporating special
design techniques can reduce the apparent scale of a structure, such as:
a. Subdividing the façade of the building into top, bottom and middle components.
b. Using overhangs and shadow lines to create a sense of depth.
c. Changing building finishes or colors at logical breakpoints.
d. Repeating patterns of windows, awnings, colonnades, porches, offsets or recesses.
BUILDING RHYTHM/ARTICULATION. All buildings, shall be designed to incorporate a form
of architectural articulation as described in other sections of this document. Architectural articulation can
be achieved in a variety of traditional and imaginative ways. T he intent is to allow creative architectural
notions but not be gregarious or draw unusual attention to their expression. This will allow for variety of
design and identity within subdistricts while maintaining high standards for the overall development.
ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. They are the unique details and component parts that together,
form the architectural style of buildings. Architectural elements typically include compositions of forms
and shapes, patterns of windows, doors, roofs and awnings bu t can also include compositions of
materials, expressions of structure, notions of shade and respite, patterns of light and dark, placement of
follies and fixtures, all of which must be combined in ways that reinforce the character and quality of the
overall development.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 62 March 2014
FAÇADE TREATMENTS. Building façades, with their shapes, materials, colors, openings, textures,
and details, shall be used to contribute to the architectural character of the development.
All Retail except Major Anchor Retail shall have ground level storefront extending across a
minimum of 50% of front façade length. Other uses shall have window treatments
appropriate for their use.
On secondary sides of retail buildings, windows do not need to be provided at ground level;
however, buildings should avoid monotonous, uninterrupted walls by incorporating
articulation standards as outlined in other sections of this document. A variety of offsets,
recesses, etc. shall be used to add variety and interest to the building and eliminate long blank
walls.
Same or similar materials will be used on major as well as minor sides of the building to
ensure a continuity of the building on all sides.
LIGHTING. Lighting is an important aspect of the development. Strategic placement of lighting will
greatly enhance the overall ambiance of the development. Security lighting shall be installed per the
codes and ordinances of the Town. Architectural lighting should be designed to enhance the buildings
appearance. Exterior lighting such as street lamps, façade lighting, twinkle lights, up-lighting at key
building elements and landscape features, etc., is allowed. All lighting shall meet the standards outlined
in the Town’s Zoning Ordinance as it currently exists or as amended there to.
SIGNAGE. The purpose of signage guidelines is to reinforce the identity and quality of the project and
to create signage that provides effective information for all users.
A comprehensive sign package shall be generated and approved by the Town of Prosper
Town Council.
Signage for Subdistrict 1 shall be of a scale commensurate with the expected larger tenants.
Monument signs, directional signs as well as building mounted signs shall be used to identify
the development as well as the tenants.
Signage for the other Subdistricts shall be scaled appropriately to accommodate both
vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition to monument signs, directional signs and
building mounted signs, other types of signs should be used such as blade signs and signage
painted on the storefront. The final design of the project signage will be determined by the
sign package submitted to the Town.
Other than noted herein, signage shall be regulated under the Town’s signage ordinance
unless otherwise approved under the comprehensive sign package.
PAD SITE BUILDINGS. Buildings on pad sites shall use similar materials and elements in order to
visually identify with the rest of the project.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 63 March 2014
Public Realm Design
The public realm exists at the intersections of the various aspects of community living . It consists of
areas with unlimited and direct access and is centered upon the pedestrian experience. Streets, sidewalks,
plazas and parks are all components of the public realm, and help create a pedestrian network. This
network should be given priority over the street network (vehicle access) and provide visible connections
to parking facilities, crossings and adjacent development while being of a size to accommodate pedestrian
traffic patterns. Crossings shall be designed to minimize pedestrian tra ffic exposure to vehicle traffic.
The street network should provide connectivity as well as flexibility for future development and be able to
accommodate a pedestrian network with appropriate shading from trees and built structures. Other
streetscape elements such as benches, wayfinding devices, planting strips, receptacles for trash and
recycling, water features and various art and performance media shall contribute to the pedestrian
experience. This shall be in accordance with unified landscaping and s treetscape plans.
Public parks and open spaces contribute not only to the pedestrian experience but also to the ecological
value and appearance of the development. By providing space for recreation, they promote community
and gathering and can enhance value for retail, restaurant and residential uses.

URBAN Residential Development Guidelines
Residential units shall be located in a manner that will provide privacy for residents by one or several of
the following:

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT STATEMENT OF INTENT & PURPOSE
The purpose of the proposed Planned Development District is to accommodate a mix of office, retail,
personal service, residential and community activities by providing four individual but integrated
Subdistricts. This will be accomplished through the incorporation of the Planned Development Standards
and Design Guidelines contained in Exhibits C and F, respectively. Although the Planned Development
Standards provide criteria for development within each distinct Subdistrict, the Standards are formulated
in such a manner as to allow each Subdistrict to develop as one integral part of the collective Planned
Development.
The Conceptual Development Plan includes vehicular and pedestrian linkages that serve both functional
and aesthetic roles. The proposed thoroughfare system has been designed to allow for safe and efficient
vehicular circulation internal to the site as well as to connect to the existing thoroughfare system external
to the development. Furthermore, focal points and terminuses have been provided within the
thoroughfare system and pedestrian linkages to enhance the visual aesthetic of the overall design.
Pedestrian scale design elements will also be incorporated into the site design in order to foster high
quality street and sidewalk environments.
An essential element to the overall site is the incorporation of an open space system to provide for both
active and passive recreational opportunities. The open space system will consist of landscape and
hardscape elements such as plazas, greens, trails, pathways and parks for the residents and visitors of the
development. These elements within the proposed development will be ultimately located so as to
provide recreational opportunities within convenient proximity to as many users as possible.
The standards contained within this Planned Development District will help to achieve the vision for the
overall development. These standards have been formulated so as to provide specificity where necessary
and provide flexibility to allow for creative design.

pedestrian-scale mixture of office, retail, personal service, residential and community activities on
single or contiguous building sites. The development standards for non-residential and mixed-use
development included in this Subdistrict are generally consistent with the Retail and Office
zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance, while the development
standards for residential development are generally consistent with the Townhome and
Multifamily zoning districts in the existing Town of Prosper Zoning Ordinance. The Design
Guidelines and architectural standards are intended to define the “Town Center” design theme for

Development Schedule
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 55 April 2014
Development Schedule
It is currently anticipated that the development of Gates of Prosper will begin within two to four years
after approval and signing of the zoning ordinance. During this time period, prior to the initial stages of
development, it is foreseen that plans and studies will be prepared for development and marketing of the
property. The development schedule for the approximate 621 acres will be phased over the next 10 to 15
years and is primarily dependent on the marketability of the highest and best use of the l and for the
respective land tracts. Progress of development improvements will primarily depend on the time frames
established for construction of thoroughfares, utilities, and market trends/demands for the area.
The development of non-residential uses within Subdistrict 1 and Subdistrict 2 will constitute the initial
phases of development. The development of Urban Living Multifamily residential units in Subdistrict 2,
and/or Subdistrict 3 shall not begin until a minimum combined total of 250,000 square feet of
commercial/retail development has been constructed and tenant leases have been established for at least
70 percent of that area. The required commercial/retail development may include regional retail anchors,
a town center mixed-use component, a major multi-purpose medical center with emergency care facilities,
a transit station, a mall, a hotel, or another major development anchor as determined by Town Council.
Incorporation of residential units into a mixed-use town center are not subject to the aforementioned
preconditions as long as they are vertically integrated into the retail/commercial structures.
The development schedule is subject to change due to various factors beyond the control of the developer,
such as housing market conditions, construction materials and labor availability, acts of nature, and other
similar conditions.

SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 57 April 2014
Supplemental DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The Town of Prosper is on the cusp of transforming itself from a prosperous farming community into a
prosperous economic engine and enviable residential neighborhood. The vision for the “Gates of Prosper”
is to be the gateway into Prosper’s new future.
The architectural design principles for this development are intended to reinforc e a uniform spirit and
character throughout the development while promoting fresh and visionary diversity.
Subdistricts have been carefully planned to maximize vehicular access to transportation
arteries and pedestrian access to future transit systems.
Subdistricts are designed and planned to create a special community that offers the
opportunity to live, work, shop and recreate in an urban environment located in a suburban
area.
Each Subdistrict can have its own identity yet still create a sense of belonging through use of
consistent iconic markers, streetscape designs, landscape forms, signage, lighting and
architectural building standards. These elements should allow Subdistricts to transition
seamlessly from one to the next.
Public amenities including parks, trails, plazas, interactive areas and gateways are planned to
serve as venues for recreation, entertainment and social interaction.
Pedestrian ways should be memorable through their use of landscaping and lighting, and by
incorporating shade, street furnishings and other sidewalk amenities.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 58 April 2014
SITE DESIGN
The entire site has been effectively designed for efficient land use, as a strong gateway into Prosper and
as a quality environment that resonates a “sense of place”. This design contributes to the overall identity
which adds value to the project as well as the entire community. To promote these benefits the design has
incorporated following features:
Street design and streetscapes including boulevards connecting and traversing through the
different subdistricts.
Gateway icons that announce entry into and welcome residents and guests to the
development. Wayfinding markers that give direction within the development and reinforce
the quality of the development.
Public areas that are accessible and provide for a variety of entertainment and recreational
experiences.
Subdistricts that allow for a crossover of uses while concentrating like uses for the
convenience of residents and guests.
SUBDISTRICT DESIGN
Subdistrict 1—Regional Retail. Subdistrict 1, as depicted on the Conceptual Development
Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing for the needs of the community by
facilitating the development of regional-serving retail, personal service, and office uses.
Subdistrict 2—Lifestyle Center. Subdistrict 2, as depicted on the Conceptual Development
Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing a compact, neighborhood and
pedestrian scale mixture of office, retail, personal service, residential and community
activities on single or contiguous building sites.
Subdistrict 3—Downtown Center. Subdistrict 3, as depicted on the Conceptual
Development Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing an active living and
working community benefiting from its proximity to the existing Town core and the adjacent
Subdistricts.
Subdistrict 4—Residential Neighborhood. Subdistrict 4, as depicted on the Conceptual
Development Plan (Exhibit D) shall serve the purpose of providing a planned residential
community to serve the needs of the Town and add a complimentary use to the overall
development.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 59 April 2014
BUILDING DESIGN
Building design is only one element that contributes to the fabric of a community. Although building
design can be the most effective means of translating the character, it has to work in concert with all other
designed elements. It is not the intent of this section inhibit but give the freedom to achieve excellence in
building design within the limits of a few design criteria.
BUILDING MASSING AND SCALE. A building's mass or scale is determined by its component
parts, including the size of its footprint, its height, its proportions and its relationship to surrounding
buildings. Individual characteristics of mass and scale include:
Form: A buildings form should have a relationship to the proposed streetscape that
contributes to a comfortable environment and pleasing pedestrian experience. Its form should
also be in context with surrounding buildings.
Shape: A buildings shape should incorporate variations in height, rooflines and wall planes
and be expressive without seeming unnatural.
Scale: The use may be a determining factor in the size of a building. Incorporating special
design techniques can reduce the apparent scale of a structure, such as:
a. Subdividing the façade of the building into top, bottom and middle components.
b. Using overhangs and shadow lines to create a sense of depth.
c. Changing building finishes or colors at logical breakpoints.
d. Repeating patterns of windows, awnings, colonnades, porches, offsets or recesses.
BUILDING RHYTHM/ARTICULATION. All buildings, shall be designed to incorporate a form
of architectural articulation as described in other sections of this document. Architectural articulation can
be achieved in a variety of traditional and imaginative ways. The intent is to allow creative architectural
notions but not be gregarious or draw unusual attention to their expression. This will allow for variety of
design and identity within subdistricts while maintaining high standards for the overall development.
ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS. They are the unique details and component parts that together,
form the architectural style of buildings. Architectural elements typically include compositions of forms
and shapes, patterns of windows, doors, roofs and awnings but can also include compositions of
materials, expressions of structure, notions of shade and respite, patterns of light and dark, placement of
follies and fixtures, all of which must be combined in ways that reinforce the character and quality of the
overall development.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 60 April 2014
FAÇADE TREATMENTS. Building façades, with their shapes, materials, colors, openings, textures,
and details, shall be used to contribute to the architectural character of the development.
All Retail except Major Anchor Retail shall have ground level storefront extending across a
minimum of 50% of front façade length. Other uses shall have window treatments
appropriate for their use.
On secondary sides of retail buildings, windows do not need to be provided at ground level;
however, buildings should avoid monotonous, uninterrupted walls by incorporating
articulation standards as outlined in other sections of this document. A variety of offsets,
recesses, etc. shall be used to add variety and interest to the building and eliminate long blank
walls.
Same or similar materials will be used on major as well as minor sides of the building to
ensure a continuity of the building on all sides.
LIGHTING. Lighting is an important aspect of the development. Strategic placement of lighting will
greatly enhance the overall ambiance of the development. Security lighting shall be installed per the
codes and ordinances of the Town. Architectural lighting should be designed to enhance the buildings
appearance. Exterior lighting such as street lamps, façade lighting, twinkle lights, up-lighting at key
building elements and landscape features, etc., is allowed. All lighting shall meet the standards outlined
in the Town’s Zoning Ordinance as it currently exists or as amended there to.
PAD SITE BUILDINGS. Buildings on pad sites shall use similar materials and elements in order to
visually identify with the rest of the project.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 61 April 2014
Public Realm Design
The public realm exists at the intersections of the various aspects of community living. It consists of
areas with unlimited and direct access and is centered upon the pedestrian experience. Streets, sidewalks,
plazas and parks are all components of the public realm, and help create a pedestrian network. This
network should be given priority over the street network (vehicle access) and provide visible connections
to parking facilities, crossings and adjacent development while being of a size to accommodate pedestrian
traffic patterns. Crossings shall be designed to minimize pedestrian traffic exposure to vehicle traffic.
The street network should provide connectivity as well as flexibility for future development and be able to
accommodate a pedestrian network with appropriate shading from trees and built structures. Other
streetscape elements such as benches, wayfinding devices, planting strips, receptacles for trash and
recycling, water features and various art and performance media shall contribute to the pedestrian
experience. This shall be in accordance with unified landscaping and streetscape plans.
Public parks and open spaces contribute not only to the pedestrian experience but also to the ecological
value and appearance of the development. By providing space for recreation, they promote community
and gathering and can enhance value for retail, restaurant and residential uses.
Planned Development No. ____ P a g e | 62 April 2014
URBAN Residential Development Guidelines
Residential units shall be located in a manner that will provide privacy for residents by one or several of
the following:
Provide a small landscaped front setback
Raise or lower the finished ground level relative to the sidewalk level
Allow for encroachment by stoops, stairs and porches within the area between the front
façade and the property line
ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS
Residential buildings shall have relatively little horizontal articulation and simple roofs, with
most building wing articulations set at the rear of the structure. Window projections, stoops,
porches, balconies and similar extensions are exempt from this standard.
Gable roofs, if provided, shall have a minimum pitch of 9:12. The minimum pitch for hip
roofs is 6:12. Other roof types shall be appropriate to the architectural style of the building.
Architectural embellishments that add visual interest to the roof, such as dormers and
masonry chimneys, may be provided.
PARKING. Where practicable, off-street parking shall be accessed via alleys along the side or rear
property lines, thus eliminating driveways from the residential streetscape. However, off -street parking
may also be accessed via other public/private streets along the front property line.

Compiled list of Comments from P&Z Commissioners
Gates of Prosper
Comments from multiple Commissioners:
1. PD Language: Include conceptual renderings in all districts and add language confirming
conceptual renderings shall reasonably resemble the actual development. This includes
committing to SF home styles in Subdistrict 4. Otherwise, the Planning & Zoning Commission
and Town Council shall have the ability to approve the proposed conceptual renderings in the
future. Any significant change in concept of districts presented in Exhibit D cannot occur
without public hearing and town approval. For example, the big box in district #1 cannot
be relocated to district #2. Otherwise, the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council
shall have the ability to approve the proposed concept plan (Exhibit D) in the future. Add
language requiring the Property Owners Association for all owners in PD. No open
storage (if any is allowed, shall be completely screened) or automotive uses allowed.
2. Multifamily: Reduce the maximum number of MF units and add more clarity on design
standards. P&Z prefers a “Shops at Legacy” concept, wrap, or mixed use/lofts with
higher density and not “urban garden units” or “suburban-urban” style. Require a
parking structure for MF. Add increased building material standards, such as 20%
minimum natural stone finishes, increased landscaping and architectural lighting. High
density residential only in sub district 2 and 3, preferably as far west as possible. Phase 1
of MF (300 units) can only be built after 500k feet of non residential space in subdistrict
2 or 3 (west of Preston) has obtained a CO. The balance of the units can be built after
1,000,000 million sq. ft of non residential space has obtained a CO.
3. Townhomes: TH units preferred over the MF units. All TH units shall have garages,
increased building materials, such as 20% minimum natural stone finishes, increased
landscaping and architectural lighting. Increase minimum dwelling unit area to 1,800 sq.
ft.
4. Big Box: Big box building standards should be 80%-100% natural stone, on all four sides.
Accent materials must be cast stone, granite, marble, ornamental or standing seam
metal, and cannot be painted tilt wall, brick or EIFS. Articulation every 30’ at a minimum.
Increased landscaping in parking lot with architectural lighting. No automotive uses or
outside storage is allowed.
5. Non-residential buildings – Shall have increased building material standards. Use a
minimum of 50-75% natural stone. Remove stucco, brick, architectural block,
cementitious fiberboard, and painted/textured tilt wall from list of primary building
materials. Articulation every 30’ at a minimum. Increased landscaping in parking lot
with architectural lighting.
6. Buffers: Add language that addresses landscape buffers adjacent to Willow Ridge.
a. Increase the landscape setback adjacent to Willow Ridge.
b. Use masonry walls and/or solid living screens to buffer from Willow Ridge.
c. Limit the type of activity in the delivery areas and the times, so as to address
noise & other disruptions.
d. Increase width of landscape setback adjacent to Lovers Lane.
7. Landscape: Retain some of the existing trees on the property in high visibility areas,
including First and Preston. Increase landscaping throughout, more trees in parking
areas. Larger trees, 4-6 caliper inches.
Other Comments:
1. Preference for nose in parking in the town center area to get more spaces.
2. Reorient the unnamed big box so that it is not backing to US 380.
3. Wider/larger parking spaces.
4. Reduce the proposed building heights where in close proximity to single family.
5. Allowing non-habitual element to exceed maximum building height by 20’ is excessive.
6. If the “suburban-urban” style of apartment is still being proposed, 60-75% of required
parking shall be in garages.
7. Alcohol Sales is permitted uses chart shall clearly state it shall comply with all the
conditional standards in the Zoning Ordinance as it exists or may be amended.
8. Section 6.7.1.4.(a)(2): how can we limit so you don’t get every balcony with a 2’ satellite
dish?
9. Section 6.7.1.6.: can we limit proximity to single-family areas and to major
thoroughfares?
Errors or Typo
1. Section 3.2.3.: there is reference to Table 4-5, but I couldn’t find a Table 4-5
2. Section 4.2.1.: there is reference to Table 4-5, but I couldn’t find a Table 4-5
3. Section 4.2.1., Table 4-1, Notes: I do not see reference in the table for Notes 4 & 6
4. Section 4.2.3.: why is the qualifier, “except as noted herein.”, included on the number of
residential dwelling units in Subdistrict 3. That reads as if more could possibly be
allowed under circumstances which are not clear. I don’t think anyone wants more than
300 in that section.
5. Section 4.3.1.: there is reference to Table 4-7, but I think it should be Table 4-6

STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE
The purpose and intent of this planned development district is to provide a high quality
of mixed residential,commercial and industrial uses that are compatible with the
physical location of the property and the natural characteristics of the property.The
commercial and industrial land uses for the overall property were planned due to the
property's location adjacent to SH 380, SH 289,Business 289 and future major
thoroughfares to include the North Dallas Tollway extension.The residential land uses
were considered in the land plan relative to their location adjacent to existing
residential and public school property and in locations with natural features supporting
quality residential neighborhoods.

DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE
The development schedule for the approximate four-hundred,fifteen (415)acres will be
phased over the next ten (10)to fifteen (15)years and is primarily dependent on the
marketability ofthe highest and best use ofthe land for the respective land tracts.
The commercial tracts vary in size and location.It is conceivable that the larger
commercial land tracts along Preston Road will be held for longer amounts of time in
order to reserve their use for commercial development that is commensurate with larger
mixed use developments when the market so demands.The development of
commercial land tracts adjacent to the future North Dallas Tollway extension will be
dependent on the future extension of the Tollway and the demand for quality
commercial development.On the other hand,there may be more immediate
opportunities to facilitate commercial service uses on smaller tracts of land required to
serve the communities needs.
There exists immediate market demands for affluent single family residences in the land
tract adjacent to the Prosper school land.The multi-family tracts ofland will be
developed according to the Planned Development Ordinance and at such time as it is
feasible to deliver quality multifamily housing.

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.

Land Use Concepts
Mixed-Use
Mixed-use refers to a development style that
combines a mix of land uses within one defined
zoning district. For example, residential, retail,
restaurants, office and public uses may be
allowed in the same building, same lot, same
tract, block or zoning district. Benefits of
mixed-use development include:
Flexibility of building spaces over time;
Long term viability of commercial
districts;
Providing higher quality high density
residences;
Inclusion of public facilities;
Reduction in the frequency of vehicular
trips; and
Minimizing land consumption.
Mixed-use developments are defined by their
design—building orientation, roadway
configuration and amenities such as shade
trees, benches and lighting create a safe
environment that is conducive for walking.
Intentional integration of diverse land uses
within one localized area creates a lifestyle
option where a person can perform many of
their daily needs and recreational desires within
a short distance of home. Such environments
are particularly attractive to young
professionals, young couples and empty
nesters.
Mixed-uses are typically either horizontal or
vertical in nature. Horizontal mixed-uses
involve retail, office and residential all located
within one defined area, but within separate
buildings. Vertical mixed-use developments
would include any combination of retail, office
and residential within the same building. A
common example of vertical mixed-use is
residential lofts and apartments above street-
level retail and office space.
General Guidelines
Reduced Setbacks: bring building
facades closer to the street.
Central Gathering Space or Focal
Point: Create an identity through
public space.
Pedestrian Orientation: Facilitate
the pedestrian experience through
quality urban design. Ensure
access and connectivity to adjacent
neighborhoods.
Architecture: moldings, spires,
canopies, balconies and building
locations all create a sense of
identity and contribute to the
experience.
Strategic Parking: utilize shared
parking, on-street parking, parking
behind buildings and structured
parking.
Connectivity: mixed use areas
should be tied in to adjacent
residential development.

Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
What does mixed-use development look like in Prosper? We asked the community in a public
Visual Character Survey. The highest rated mixed-use pictures are shown below.
Past planning efforts, including the Town’s previous comprehensive plan, have indicated that the most
opportunistic location for a Town Center, a large mixed-use district, would be the area roughly
bounded by First Street to the north, Highway 380 to the south, BNSF Railroad to the west and Preston
Road to the east. This area is currently identified as a planned development by the Town’s zoning
ordinance.
Within Prosper, mixed-use areas may be appropriate along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380,
Town Center and Old Town districts, as shown below.
43 Town of Prosper, TX
Comprehensive Plan
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Horizontal and Vertical Mixed-Use
Development
Mixed-use developments that include a range
of land uses incorporated within the same
building, but typically at different levels, are
referred to as vertical mixed-use developments.
Common examples of vertical integration
include apartments and lofts over ground level
retail and office uses. Examples of vertical
mixed-use developments are Shops at Legacy in
Plano, Watters Creek in Allen and the West
Village/State-Thomas areas of Dallas. Vertical
mixed-use development was preferred by
Prosper residents.
Horizontal mixed-use development is
representative of a mixture of uses within close
proximity to each other, but not necessarily
within the same building. Horizontal mixed-use
developments typically include residential uses
along the periphery of the larger development
area, separate from a more intense retail and
office core. An example of horizontal mixed-
use development is Southlake Town Center.
The central area of the Town Center includes
retail and office uses with residential
townhomes located on the periphery of the
development, primarily on the east side.
Two factors considered when determining
whether vertical or horizontal integration
should be utilized are land availability and land
value. In more intense areas of development,
land values are typically higher and land
availability may be significantly less. In such
locations, vertical integration, and higher
densities (up to 5 stories), would be most
appropriate. In Prosper, vertical integration of
mixed uses will likely occur within the Dallas
North Tollway and Town Center districts.
Horizontal mixed-use integration typically
occurs where land availability and value can
accommodate an overall lower density. Here,
1-3 story retail and office may be surrounded by
townhomes, patio homes, multi-unit homes and
other less intense uses. In Prosper, horizontal
mixed uses will likely occur within the Highway
380 and Town Center districts.
Vertical Mixed-Use
Characteristics
o Multiple uses within the same building
o Live-above lofts and apartments
o More urban in nature
o 4-5 story height for buildings with
residential uses located above the first
floor
o Structured Parking
Considerations
o Consume less land
o Land value (density to maximize value)
o Higher density (typically more urban )
Horizontal Mixed-Use
Characteristics
o Multiple uses within a planned areas,
but not necessarily within the same
building
o 1-3 story heights/lower density nature
o Areas of apartments, townhomes,
brown stones, patio homes and multi-
unit homes around the periphery,
buffering low-density neighborhoods.
o Structured parking or rear parking/rear
entry garages
Considerations
o Consume more land
o With buffering, may be located near
residential areas along HWY 380

COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Corridors and Districts
Preston Road
A major component of the visioning exercises pertained to the three major corridors in Prosper:
Preston Road, Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. The following discussions on each corridor
are a result of the visioning exercises and feedback received from the comprehensive plan
advisory committee and the general public.
Land Use
Preston Road was described by numerous residents as “our road.”
Traversing the center of the community, Preston Road will have a
variety of land uses and will have a varying context. In the
southern portion of Prosper, Preston Road will accommodate
higher degrees of traffic, particularly as it traverses the Town
Center. Retail, office and some medium density residential will be
located along Preston Road on the southern end of the Town,
gradually becoming more residential in nature as it moves north.
Small scale office and retail may be located in certain areas along
Preston Road and these should be the types of uses which service
adjacent neighborhoods. Big box uses, mid-rise development, and
more intense land uses were generally not viewed as favorable as
small-scale retail and office uses. Residents identified an upscale
grocery store, such as a Central Market or a Whole Foods, as one
of their top priorities along Preston Road.
Character
The character of Preston Road should be more rural in nature,
respecting the small-town character of the community. Large,
heavily landscaped setbacks should be prevalent along the
roadway helping to differentiate Prosper from Frisco while
also providing a natural sense of calm for Prosper residents.
Wide setbacks are particularly important as the roadway
traverses residential areas generally north of First Street.
Areas of retail should be designed to the highest level of
quality and architectural characteristics within individual
developments should follow a theme consistent with recently
completed development. Residents felt that retail areas
should be organized in a nodal nature rather than in a strip
center fashion in order to prevent the entire roadway
frontage from being consumed by retail. Unanchored, stand-
alone retail establishments should be discouraged in favor of
a nodal shopping center development.
55 Town of Prosper, TX
Comprehensive Plan
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Dallas North Tollway
Land Use
Unlike Preston Road, regional development pressures will
likely be placed along the Dallas North Tollway. Feedback
received from the public indicated that more intense uses
would be appropriate along the corridor. Types of uses that
scored relatively well included mid-rise office buildings,
mixed-use development and corporate office parks, among
others. Generally speaking, the DNT corridor will contain
land uses that support a more regional context and will likely
include office space, retail uses and business parks. High
density residential is appropriate within the DNT corridor.
Mixed-use lofts/apartments are the preferred style of high
density residential within this district. Images depicting big
box retail, auto sales centers and commercial services, such
as self-storage facilities, scored the lowest along the Dallas
North Tollway.
Character
The character of the Dallas North Tollway will be significantly
more intense than the rest of the Town. The most intense
development will be located in the southern portion of the
corridor, primary around the interchange of the Dallas North
Tollway and Highway 380. Development in the Northeast
corner of this intersection will likely be a continuation of the
Town Center district, much in the same way office uses
surround Legacy Town Center in Plano. Areas on the
Northwest corner of the interchange are currently identified as
mixed-use. A mixture of office, retail and medium to high
density residential will likely develop within this area.
Floodplain on the north side of the Northwest corner will serve
as a buffer between the more intense development and the
low density residential neighborhoods to the north. Intensity
of development should gradually decrease on the north side of
the Dallas North Tollway corridor and backage roads will help
to facilitate the creation of pad sites that may buffer the
Tollway from residential uses.
56
Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
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.

Non-residential:
Planned Development-3 and Commercial Corridor are the existing districts along the Dallas
Parkway frontage. These districts allow for an extensive list of non-residential uses, including,
but not limited to; Automobile Sales, Indoor and Outdoor Commercial Amusement, Gas
Stations, Banks, various Retail uses, Restaurants, Furniture Stores, Hardware Stores,
Hospitals, Hotels, Motels, Professional and Medical Office, Newspaper Printing Centers,
Showroom Facilities, Storage Facilities, Theaters, Small Truck Sales, Warehouse/Distribution
Center, Bottling Works, Car Wash, Health/Fitness Center, Manufacturing uses, Open Storage,
Nursery, Veterinarian Clinic. These districts also allow for a maximum building height of 8
stories, no greater than 100 feet.
The non-residential property on the north side of First Street, west of Dallas Parkway is zoned
straight Office.
Requested Zoning – Z13-0018 is a request rezone 878.9± acres, located on the southeast and
southwest corners of Prosper Trail and Dallas Parkway, from Planned Development-3 (PD-3),
Planned Development-14 (PD-14), Planned Development-23 (PD-23), Planned Development-34
(PD-34), Single Family-10 (SF-10), Single Family-12.5 (SF-12.5), Office (O), and Commercial
Corridor (CC) to Planned Development-Single Family/Office/Retail (PD-SF/O/R). The PD-
SF/O/R regulations are attached.
The proposed PD-SF/O/R District allows for the development of a maximum of 1,870 single
family lots; a maximum of 144.8± acres of office and retail uses along Dallas Parkway; an
approximate 30.9 acre community park; a minimum of three neighborhood parks, each
approximately 7.5 acres; a minimum of 70 acres of open space and floodplain corridors; and
two amenity centers. The rezoning eliminates the ability for 423 garden-style multifamily units to
develop on the property.
The proposed single family lots fall into four types; Type A (minimum 6,875 square feet), Type B
(minimum 8,125 square feet), Type C (minimum 10,260 square feet), and Type D (minimum
11,610 square feet). The maximum number of Type A lots is 709 and the maximum number of
Type B lots is 784**. While there are no minimum number of lots for Type A or Type B lots, the
minimum number of Type C lots is 231, and the minimum number of Type D lots is 143. The
maximum number of lots allowed west of Legacy Drive is 750, while the maximum number of
lots east of Legacy Drive is 1,120. Development standards for each lot type are summarized in
the table below and are further described in Exhibit C, Section II.

**Any unused “number of lots” from the Type A category may be added to the Type B category
so as to increase the number of Type B lots with no increase in the overall PD density of 1,870
lots.
The number of lots under 10,000 square feet has increased from 902 allowed for under the
existing zoning to 1,496 allowed for under the proposed PD. The number of lots greater than
10,000 square feet has been reduced from 968 to 375.
Besides lot size (Types A, B, and C), width, depth (Types A, B, and C), and side yard setback
(Types A and B), the proposed PD-SF standards that vary from straight SF-10 zoning are:
For All Lot Types:
1. Permitted Encroachment – The PD allows architectural features and porches to encroach
into the required front and rear yard setbacks up to five feet. The Town’s Zoning Ordinance
permits eaves, roof extensions, or porches without posts or columns to project into the
required front yard for a distance not to exceed three feet. The Zoning Ordinance also allows
the minimum front yard in single-family and two-family Zoning Districts to be reduced by 10
feet in the following circumstances. In no case shall the reduction cause the minimum front
yard to be less than 15 feet.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Page 5 of 7
• For an outside swing-in garage provided the wall of the garage that faces the
street contains a glass pane window with a minimum size of three feet by five
feet and the height of the garage does not exceed one story; or
• For a non-enclosed porch, stoop, or balcony, or an architectural feature, such as
bay window without floor area or chimney; or
• For a non-enclosed porch and the main structure provided:
o the height of the main structure does not exceed one story;
o the porch has a minimum dimension of seven feet in depth measured from
stud to the front edge of the porch floor and a minimum width of 20 feet; and
o the minimum front yard for a front entry garage is increased one foot for every
one foot the minimum front yard for the main structure is reduced
2. Fencing – The PD requires fencing adjacent to open space or parks be decorative metal
fence, minimum 4 foot in height. In addition to complying with the Town’s fence ordinance,
the PD requires all wooden fencing to be cedar, board-to-board with a top rail; and for the
development to establish a common stain color and fence detail. The Town’s fence
ordinance does not require the wood fencing to have a top rail; or for the development to
establish a common stain color and fence detail.
3. Building and Architectural Standards – The PD provides several standards to require front
facing garage doors with architecturally enhanced features; to prohibit carports and
accessory structures used as garages, garage apartments, storage buildings, or guest
houses; require enhanced paving treatments for residential driveways; and includes
conceptual single family elevations. Please note the renderings in Exhibit F represent artist
concepts only and are provided solely for illustrative purposes. These standards exceed
those in the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed PD allows for a maximum of 144.8± acres of office and retail uses along Dallas
Parkway. The PD-O/R standards generally conform to straight Office and Retail zoning
standards. The PD-O/R District also allows for the following: hotel and auto sales/leasing and
services uses; hotels, office buildings, and hospitals to have a maximum height of 8 stories, no
greater than 100 feet; and all non-residential uses within 150 feet of a single family zoned area
be a maximum height of 2 stories. Should a non-residential use exceed 2 stories near a single
family zoned area, the setback is required to increase 1 foot beyond the 150 foot setback for
each foot of building height beyond 2 stories. The Town’s Zoning Ordinance requires the
setback be increased 2 feet for every foot above 40 feet so this requirement in the proposed PD
is a reduction to the Commercial Corridor standards.
Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends Low Density
Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Tollway District uses for the property. The FLUP
recommends a density not to exceed 1.6 dwelling units per acre in areas designated for Low
Density Residential, with typical lot sizes of 15,000 square feet and greater. The FLUP
recommends a density not to exceed 2.5 dwelling units per acre in areas designated for Medium
Density Residential, with typical lot sizes between 12,500 to 20,000 square feet. The FLUP
recommends a diverse mixture of office, retail, and high density residential uses in the Tollway
District.
The proposed PD-SF/O/R District allows for the development of a maximum of 1,870 single
family lots and a maximum of 144.8 acres of office and retail uses along Dallas Parkway. The
proposed single family residential density is 2.47 dwelling units per acre, which is a reduction
from the existing single family residential density of 2.68 dwelling units per acre. The rezoning
also eliminates the ability for 423 garden-style multifamily units to develop on the property.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Page 6 of 7
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is adjacent to the future Dallas North Tollway; Shawnee Trail,
a future four lane divided thoroughfare; Legacy Drive, a future six lane divided thoroughfare;
Fishtrap Road, a future four lane divided thoroughfare; and Prosper Trail, a future four lane
divided thoroughfare. The zoning exhibit complies with the Thoroughfare Plan.
Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water service and sanitary sewer service will have to be
extended to the property either before or with development.
Access – Access to the property is provided from existing Dallas Parkway, future Shawnee
Trail, existing Legacy Drive, existing Fishtrap Road, and existing Prosper Trail. Adequate
access is provided to the property.
Schools – This property is located within the Prosper Independent School District (PISD). Any
future school sites are to be determined at the time of preliminary plat.
Parks – The development 1,870 single family lots would require 53.4 acres of park dedication.
The proposed PD provides for an approximate 30.9 acre community park, a minimum of three
7.5 acre neighborhood parks, 70 acres of open space and floodplain corridors, and two amenity
centers. Please see Exhibit C, Section I for the Parkland and Amenities standards. The Parks
and Recreation Board recommended changes to the proposed PD at their March 3, 2014
meeting, described below.
Environmental Considerations – The 100 year floodplain located on the property is shown on
Exhibits A and D.
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. Town staff has received two public hearing notice reply forms, neither in opposition to
the request.
Attached Documents:
1. Zoning Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, and F.
2. Planning & Zoning Commission’s comments to the applicant
3. Zoning map of the surrounding area.
4. PD-3.
5. PD-14.
6. PD-23.
7. PD-34.

10. The zoning application.
Parks and Recreation Board Recommendation:
At their March 3, 2014 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Board recommended the Planning &
Zoning Commission and Town Council approve the proposed Parkland Dedication, by a vote of
6-0, subject to:
1. One community park being a minimum of 31 acres as indicated on Exhibit D, located east of
Legacy, south of the creek, and on the north side of Fishtrap Road. Per the Subdivision
Ordinance, a maximum of 20% of the floodplain can count towards the requirement; therefore,
approximately 24.8 acres shall be located outside the floodplain.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Page 7 of 7
2. Three neighborhood parks, a minimum of 7.5 acres each. One neighborhood park will be
located west of Legacy and two will be located east of Legacy. They shall not be located
adjacent to major arterial streets.
Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission consider the following items prior to
taking action on the proposed PD:
1. Minimum Single Family Lot Sizes and the Maximum Number of Lot Types A and B –
Although the smallest single family lot size has increased from 5,500 square feet in existing
PD-14 to 6,875 square feet in the proposed PD, the number of single family lots allowed to
develop with an area less than 10,000 square feet has increased from 902 per existing
zoning to 1,496 in the proposed PD. The number of lots with a minimum area greater than
10,000 square feet has been reduced from 968 to 375. While the maximum single family
density has been reduced from 2.68 dwelling units per acre to 2.47 dwelling units per acre
(due to an increase in the single family land area) and the rezoning eliminates the ability for
423 garden-style multifamily units to develop on the property, the number of single family lots
with an area less than 10,000 square feet has significantly increased.
2. Conceptual Elevations or Renderings – The proposed PD includes conceptual elevations for
the single family homes in Exhibit F. Please note the elevations in Exhibit F are artist’s
concepts. They are included as a representation of the architectural style, color and material
selections Blue Star is planning for the single family dwellings in Star Trail. The Planning &
Zoning Commission should review the language in Exhibit F and the conceptual elevations to
determine their suitability.
3. Side Yard Setbacks – The minimum side yard setbacks for Lot Types A and B in the
proposed PD are 7 feet. The minimum side yard setback in the SF-10 District is 8 feet. The
applicant is requesting a reduced side yard setback due to the reduced width of the lots. For
reference purposes, the side yard setbacks in the recently approved Prosper Center PD were
7.5’.
Once the Planning & Zoning Commission has considered the previous list of items, Town staff
recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the request to rezone 878.9± acres,
located on the southeast and southwest corners of Prosper Trail and Dallas Parkway, from
Planned Development-3 (PD-3), Planned Development-14 (PD-14), Planned Development-23
(PD-23), Planned Development-34 (PD-34), Single Family-10 (SF-10), Single Family-12.5 (SF-
12.5), Office (O), and Commercial Corridor (CC) to Planned Development-Single
Family/Office/Retail (PD-SF/O/R) subject to the following conditions:
1. Revising the zoning exhibits to comply with the Parks and Recreation Board’s
recommendation.

Summary
Copple: Summarized discussions on the request at the April 1, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission
meeting and the Commission’s reason for tabling the request. Noted the Commission’s concerns were
emailed to the applicant and revised exhibits were submitted to staff. Listed revisions the applicant made
to the request, which includes the table in Exhibit C, correcting the maximum building height for lot
Types C and D from 45 feet to 40 feet, and revisions to the language accompanying Exhibit F. Informed
the Planning Division had received two public hearing notice reply forms, neither in opposition to the
request. Recommended that once the Commission considers minimum single family lot sizes, maximum
number of Type A and B lots, conceptual elevations, and side yard setbacks, the Commission approve the
request subject to revising the zoning exhibits to conform with the Parks and Recreati on Board’s
recommendation.
Discussion
DeMattia: Invited discussion regarding the Commission’s emailed concerns.
Keith: Suggested Type C and D lot counts increase to a maximum total of 400 and Type A lots be
located west of Legacy Drive (though noted intermixing lot types does have merit). Clarified his intention
for the overall single family lot count within the development would remain at 1,870.
Moody: Preferred to eliminate 5,500 square foot lots and increase the total large lots. Commented if Type
A lots were converted to Type B lots, the request would be more attractive to him.
McClung: Suggested the market will dictate lot size and more than likely, the development will not
produce 1,870 total single family lots, which is what the property is currently zoned for. Commented the
request is an improvement to the existing zoning. Preferred to accept the applicant’s proposal that lot
sizes be integrated throughout the single family component. Voiced support for the architectural
renderings, as they adhere to the basic town standards and the Commission cannot design builders’ house
plans.
Turner: Agreed with McClung. Preferred a balance regarding house and lot size, citing Prosper is a town
for everyone, not just those who can afford large lots. Stated if all lots are 10,000 square feet or greater, it
will reduce the total amount of houses within the development. Preferred larger side yard setbacks, but
noted such setbacks may affect various factors during the development and/or home building process.
Senkel: Stated while the Comprehensive Plan (herein called the Comp Plan) provides clear guidance, the
existing zoning needs to be taken into account. Preferred to compromise with the applicant on the
Commission’s concerns. Agreed with McClung that integration of lot sizes will provide for a better
community.
Keith: Reiterated preference that minimum lot counts for Types C & D lots be at 800. Agreed integrated
lot sizes would make for a more balanced community.
Carlin: Explained the challenges should the Type A lot total be reduced and Type C and D lot totals be
increased. Voiced support for reducing Type A lots by an amount of 100, which forces larger lots, but the
square footages of those lots should be at the developer’s choosing. Supported lot size integration, stating
the town is already segregated by lot size, and further segregation should be avoided.
Page 3 of 6
DeMattia: Reminded the Commission the lot count will not increase. Noted he would support either
compromise – increase the total minimum amount of Type C and D lots or reduce the number of Type A
lots. Asked Commission if they had previously discussed increasing the minimum dwe lling area for
homes on Type A lots. Invited the Commission to discuss the concerns they gave staff to share with the
applicant.
The Commission discussed the following topics: architectural standards in Exhibit F, specifically how
the proposed language would ensure quality home facades; ensuring alleyways are prohibited; driveway
encroachments for swing-in garages and the purpose for encroachments, which are permitted per the
Zoning Ordinance; soft versus paved hike and bike trails, with staff noting all public hike and bike trails
are required to be paved.
Welch: Provided example language the Commission could request the applicant use for Exhibit F.
Motioned by Carlin to approve item 4 subject to: 1) the town attorney’s suggested language to replace the
proposed language in Exhibit F, 2) a reduction in Type A lots by an amount of 150 to give a total lot
count of 1,720, 3) increasing the side yard setbacks for all lot types to eight feet, and 4) require paved
hike and bike trails throughout the development.
McClung preferred to reduce the total amount of Type A lots by 150 and allow the developer to choose
how to distribute the 150 lots, thereby keeping the count at 1,870 total lots for the development. Keith
suggested increasing the other lot types by 50 percent. He reiterated his preference to increase the total
amount of Type C & D lots. Once Moody concurred with McClung’s suggestion (to reduce Type A lots)
and Turner commented that future market conditions will dictate the majority of lot size decisions, Keith
suggested a revision that 30% of the lots be guaranteed to be above 10,000 square feet.
The Commission further discussed reducing Type A lots, how to handle the remaining lots (that were
subtracted from the Type A lots), and distribution of lots if a minimum of another lot type is dictated.
Welch: Cited the Commission’s conditions of approval to ensure their motion is correctly worded
according to their intentions.
Motioned by Carlin, seconded by McClung to approve a request to rezone 878.9± acres, located on the
southeast and southwest corners of Prosper Trail and Dallas Parkway, from Planned Development -3 (PD-
3), Planned Development-14 (PD-14), Planned Development-23 (PD-23), Planned Development-34 (PD-
34), Single Family-10 (SF-10), Single Family-12.5 (SF-12.5), Office (O), and Commercial Corridor (CC)
to Planned Development-Single Family/Office/Retail (PD-SF/O/R) subject to the following conditions: 1)
revise the zoning exhibits to comply with the Parks and Recreation Board’s recommendation, 2) revise
and replace the existing language in Exhibit F to read as follows: All single family residential elevations
shall substantially conform to the depictions contained herein, 3) No alleyways shall be permitted in the
Development, and 4) reduce the maximum number of Type A lots to 559 with a total lot count not to
exceed 1870 lots. Motion passed 6-1 at 6:54 p.m. with Keith in opposition to the motion, citing a
preference that Type A lots be reduced by more than a count of 150, and he preferred a guarantee that
more lots than what is proposed will be 10,000 square feet or greater.
5. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to rezone 621.1± acres,
located on the northeast and northwest corners of U.S. 380 and Preston Road, from Planned
Development-2 (PD-2), Planned Development-3 (PD-3), Planned Development-13 (PD-13),
Agricultural (A), and Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family-
10/Townhome/Multifamily/Office/Retail/Commercial (PD-SF-10/TH/MF/O/R/C). (Z09-
0013).

Summary
Copple: Briefed on discussions from the April 1, 2014 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Noted
the attachments to the staff report and the revision’s to staff’s recommendations from the previous staff
report. Summarized changes the applicant made to the request. Informed the Planning Division received
sixteen public hearing notice reply forms with twelve being in opposition to the request.
Discussion
DeMattia: Summarized the request to rezone for those in attendance. Noted the Town’s discussions with
the applicant over the months and the progress made, which includes but is not limited to: 1) relocating
the multifamily district as far west as possible, 2) lowering the maximum building heights east of Preston
Road to two stories, 3) compiling multiple planned developments into one planned development (herein
called the PD), allowing the Town better control over the request, and 4) improvements to the request
over the existing zoning. Informed the audience the Commission sent their individual concerns to staff,
who in turn, shared those comments with the applicant one week prior to this meeting. Commented there
are concerns the applicant has yet to address, and invited the Commission to discuss the following points:
1) overall planned development language, 2) the multifamily component, 3) the townhome component, 4)
big box retail, 5) non-residential components, 6) buffers against existing residential developments, and 7)
landscaping.
Commissioner DeMattia requested the Commission adjourn into executive session at 7:06 p.m.
The Commission reconvened from executive session at 7:57 p.m.
DeMattia invited the Commission to discuss seven concerns, beginning with architectural renderings.
Turner preferred the language Welch used for Exhibit F in item 4 on the agenda.
DeMattia asked Copple to examine Section 6.1.2 in Exhibit C, inquiring if multifamily could be relocated
to sub-district 1. Copple noted the language matches the Town’s Zoning Ordinance, clarified the l ast
paragraph in the section, and confirmed multifamily could be relocated to sub-district 1. Moody asked
Copple what authorization the Commission has if the multifamily units are relocated. Copple cited the
process, which includes a public hearing and approval by the Commission should the change not meet the
criteria described in Section 6.1.2.
DeMattia opened discussions regarding permitted uses, specifically open storage uses. Carlin questioned
why Gunsmith is not a permitted use, yet Indoor Gun Range is, noting the two uses are typically found
together. Copple explained that Gunsmith is considered a primary use and described the difference
between accessory uses and primary uses. Keith inquired about Open Storage, and Copple informed the
requirements for such a use would have to conform to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance.
DeMattia invited the Commission to discuss the multifamily component. Turner called for a reduc tion in
total units, and Keith questioned if a minimum on townhome units should be set and whether all
multifamily units should be capped at 600 units.
Furthering the discussion on multifamily, DeMattia addressed the style of multifamily to be developed.
Keith commented he did not want garden-style multifamily but preferred urban-style. DeMattia noted a
vertical structure is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan. Copple cited that both vertical and
horizontal multifamily construction in the Town Center District is consistent with the Comp Plan but that
during the process of updating the Comp Plan, the citizens voiced a preference for vertical multifamily as
opposed to horizontal multifamily. Explained the defining characteristics of wrap-style multifamily
developments. Keith commented he liked the wrap-style; however, once the applicant inquired about their
Page 5 of 6
preferences on multifamily, DeMattia asked Welch to not include the wrap-style for multifamily from
their list of conditions.
The Commission discussed at what square footage retail development should be complete before any
multifamily units are built and what sub-districts that square footage should come from. Carlin asked the
applicant, Scott Shipp, how he plans to phase construction. Shipp responded he would prefer to develop
east to west and that construction within any development typically doesn’t jump around the site. The
Commission continued voicing their preferences and concerns on the topic and concluded that for all 600
multifamily units to be constructed, 70% of 500,000 square feet of retail must be issued a Certificate of
Occupancy while only 70% of 250,000 square feet of retail with a Certificate of Occupancy will trigger
300 multifamily units.
The Commission discussed the minimum percentage of stone product and what materials to prohibit on
all non-single family residential buildings, which includes multifamily, townhome, retail, and big box
retail. With regards to townhomes, the Commission discussed requiring a minimum of one garage per unit
and considered increasing the minimum dwelling area per unit.
Next, the Commission conferred on big box retail, specifically manufactured concrete block walls;
textured, painted tilt-walls; the minimum percentage of natural or manufactured stone required and which
elevations should be required to have natural or manufactured stone; and prohibiting outdoor storage and
automobile uses.
Buffer areas between retail and existing residential areas and landscaping issues were briefly discussed;
however, it was concluded that the proposed language in the PD and the Town’s Zoning Ordinance
adequately care for these topics.
Welch and the Commission discussed and clarified the conditions of approval to ensure the
Commission’s motion is correctly worded according to their intentions.
Motioned by Moody, seconded by Keith to approve a request to rezone 621.1± acres, located on the
northeast and northwest corners of U.S. 380 and Preston Road, from Planned Development-2 (PD-2),
Planned Development-3 (PD-3), Planned Development-13 (PD-13), Agricultural (A), and Single Family-
15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family-10/Townhome/Multifamily/Office/Retail/Commercial
(PD-SF-10/TH/MF/O/R/C) subject to the following conditions: 1) all residential and nonresidential
elevations shall substantially conform to the depictions contained in the proposed Planned Development
Ordinance except to the extent amended or modified by this motion; 2) townhomes and apartments shall
not exceed 600 units total; 3) Timing Requirements for Multifamily and Townhome Construction. Upon
the issuance by the Town of a certificate of occupancy for at least 70% of 250,000 square feet of retail

units. Upon the issuance by the Town of a certificate of occupancy for at least 70% of 500,000 square
feet of retail development in either Subdistrict 2 or 3, the developer may construct up to 600 multifamily
or townhome units; 4) For nonresidential buildings in any subdistrict, no single material shall exceed
more than eighty percent (80%) of an elevation area. A minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the
front façade and all façades facing any public right-of-way shall be natural or manufactured stone; 5) For
nonresidential and multifamily buildings in any subdistrict, all building façades shall be architecturally

manufactured stone; 8) Big Box development. Any Big Box structure shall consist of at least seventy-
five percent (75%) natural or manufactured stone on all four (4) sides of such building and shall exclude
exposed textured or painted concrete tiltwall. 10) Eliminate any automobile repair uses and any outside
storage for any Big Box structure. Motion approved 6-1 with McClung in opposition to the motion, citing
his preference to not be too restrictive on prohibiting automotive repair uses within a big box retail use.
6. Possibly direct Town Staff to schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
There was no discussion on this item.
