Re: Portable Classrooms
Prosper ISD will need to place portable classrooms at the following campuses for
the 2023-24 school year:
Folsom Elementary Capacity 800 (Anticipated Enrollment 700 plus Special
Education Programs)
Reynolds MS Capacity 1100 (Anticipated Enrollment 1500)
Rucker Elementary Capacity 650 (Anticipated Enrollment 690)
Stuber Elementary Capacity 800 (Anticipated Enrollment 850)
It is likely that all of these campuses will exceed their anticipated enrollment due to
the extreme growth of Propser ISD, thus the need for additional portables.

Requested Zoning
The purpose of this request is to rezone Commercial District (C) to a new Planned Development
for Mixed Use. The applicant is proposing a mixed used development with 2 sub-districts as
shown below. The proposed sub-districts are neighborhood and highway sub-districts.
30
Page 3 of 10
The neighborhood sub-district (9± acres) is to provide for a variety of developments in a suburban
type setting which will provide residential units and supporting retail space. The subdistrict is
adjacent to Shawnee Trail is acting as a buffer and transition toward the residential across
Shawnee with less intense uses, additional setbacks and reduced height.
The highway sub-district (25± acres) is to encourage the creation of a pedestrian-oriented,
vertically integrated, mixed-use, urban environment, providing shopping, employment, housing,
business, and personal services. This sub-district promotes an efficient, compact land use
pattern; encouraging pedestrian activity; reducing the reliance on private automobiles within the
district; promoting a functional and attractive community using urban design principles; and
allowing developers flexibility in land use and site design.
Many of the development standards, located in Exhibit C, conform to the Town’s Zoning
Ordinance. Due to the proposed development’s unique design and the property being located
along the Dallas North Tollway, the applicant is proposing detailed development and design
standards, some of which deviate from the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has made some
recent modifications that include triggers, multifamily units/ condominiums specifications, mixed
use details, a list of prohibited uses, and other minor modifications.
The proposed standards that are unique to the property are summarized below and does not
contain all standards:
31
Page 4 of 10
High Density Residential Development – The highway sub-district is proposing to have a
maximum allowance of 730 units through the highway sub-district. Seventy-five percent (75%)
(No more than 500 units) of allowed residential units shall be developed as apartments and the
other twenty-five percent (25%) (No more than 230 units) of allowed residential units shall be
developed as condominiums (for sale products). The first-floor square footage of the Highway
Subdistrict shall be used for non-residential uses. A minimum of 50% of the first-floor square
footage of all buildings containing residential units (Apartments) shall be used for retail uses. A
minimum of 25% of the first floor of an office and hotel use building shall be used for retail uses.
Town-wide Multi-family Units - In addition, there are currently 6,260 multifamily units entitled
through zoning approvals in the Town (please see map below). With this development, the total
multifamily units would increase to 6,990 multifamily units. See map of entitled units below.
Triggers – The applicant has proposed the following triggers:
The development of the entire townhomes (at least 42 townhome units) in the Neighborhood
Sub-District will have certificates of occupancy prior to commencing work within the Highway
Sub-District.
The development of one minimum retail building as identified on Exhibit D.2 as either Lot 4 or
Lot 2, Block 1 shall have completed slab construction prior to commencing any other work in
Highway Subdistrict.
Street Section D, as shown on Exhibit D.3, shall be built with Block D, Lots 1 and 2.
32
Page 5 of 10
Building Height – The maximum building height allowed by the Zoning Ordinance is two (2)
stories in the Commercial District. However, the Dallas North Tollway Design Guidelines allows
up to twelve (12) stories along the tollway. The applicant is proposing twelve (12) stories for the
highway sub-district and the maximum height for the neighborhood subdistrict is three stories or
thirty-five feet (35’) for townhomes and three stories or forty-five feet (45’) for commercial
development. The applicant has proposed minimum building height by use type:
a. Office: four (4) story.
b. Multifamily
i. Apartments: four (4) story.
ii. Condominiums: four (4) story.
c. Hotel: four (4) story
d. Retail: one (1) story.
Building Materials – The approved primary exterior building materials for multifamily and non-
residential development in the Zoning Ordinance are clay fired brick, natural and manufactured
stone, granite, marble, and stucco. The use of stucco and EIFS are only permitted as secondary
or accent materials.
The applicant is proposing materials such as brick, natural and manufactured stone, curtain wall
and window wall glazing, and cementitious panel system shall be considered primary materials.
Primary materials shall comprise of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of each elevation,
exclusive of doors and windows. Where cementitious panel is applied, it shall be limited to no
more than 50% of a building’s material. Non-primary, or secondary materials, may include stucco
and metal panel systems.
Where Multifamily is concerned, primary materials shall be limited to brick, natural and
manufactured stone, and cementitious panel system.
Below are conceptual renderings of the development. The applicant will enter into a development
agreement.
33
Page 6 of 10
Building Setbacks – Many of the building setbacks in the highway and neighborhood sub-
districts have been reduced or removed in order to allow the proposed mixed-use development
to conform to Exhibit D. The 25-foot and 30-foot landscape setbacks from the adjacent minor and
34
Page 7 of 10
major thoroughfares remain the same and conform to the Zoning Ordinance/Dallas North Tollway
Design Guidelines. The building setbacks in the neighborhood sub-district reflect the typical
“suburban” setting of the townhomes and commercial development. Any development with on-
street parking, a build to line shall be required. All apartment buildings shall have a setback of
250’ from the Dallas North Tollway. The purpose of this provision is to screen the apartment
buildings with office buildings from the Dallas North Tollway.
Design Guidelines – The applicant is proposing specific design guidelines to address the
pedestrian-oriented mixed-use development in the highway and neighborhood sub-districts. The
design guidelines add to the development standards and address design principles, site design,
building design, public realm design, and streetscapes.
Parking Standards – Due to the urban/walkable setting, the applicant is proposing a mixed-use
reduction of 20% shall be applied to the overall development except for townhomes. Staff
understands that the applicant is proposing a live/work/play environment so has no issues with
the parking reduction. The applicant has also requested a shared parking within the entire
Planned Development excluding the townhomes.
Landscaping - The applicant is proposing specific design guidelines to address the pedestrian-
oriented mixed-use development in the sub-districts. The applicant has also incorporated Dallas
North Tollway Guidelines within the development standards. These standards include the
following, but not limited to:
One (1) large tree, four (4) inch caliper minimum (at the time of planting) per twenty-five
(25) feet of linear roadway frontage shall be planted within the required landscaped area.
The trees may be planted in groups with appropriate spacing for species.
Shrub plantings shall be provided at a minimum rate of 22 shrub plantings per thirty (30)
linear feet which shall be a minimum of five (5) gallon shrubs (at the time of planting).
Parking abutting the landscaped area will be screened from the adjacent roadway. The
required screening may be with shrubs or earthen berms.
All landscaped areas shall be protected by a raised six (6) inch concrete curb. Pavement
shall not be placed closer than four (4) feet from the trunk of a tree unless a Town approved
root barrier is utilized.
Landscaped islands shall be located at the terminus of all parking rows, except for on-
street parking, and shall contain at least one (1) large tree, three (3) inch caliper minimum, with
no more than fifteen (15) parking spaces permitted in a continuous row without being
interrupted by a landscape island.
Landscaped islands shall be a minimum of one hundred sixty (160) square feet, not less
than nine (9) feet wide, measured from the inside face of curb, and a length equal to the abutting
space.
All above grade utilities and trash enclosures in landscape areas shall be screened with
evergreen plant material.
Open Space - Per our zoning ordinance, 20% open space is required for Townhomes, 7% for
non-residential, and 30% for multifamily use. Due to the unique design of the development, the
applicant is proposing minimum 20% which includes landscape easements, setbacks, public
plazas, and detention ponds.

Page 9 of 10
2022 Dallas North Tollway Design Guidelines –
The Dallas North Tollway is a primary thoroughfare within the Town of Prosper and one
of the most heavily traveled roadways in North Texas. It is recognized that the Dallas North
Tollway will serve as a significant opportunity for economic development and a sustainable
tax base for the Town. The Comprehensive Plan identified the Dallas North Tollway as a
future location for the Town’s most intense land uses. The purpose of these design
guidelines is to provide direction on land use and design for future development that the
Town of Prosper envisions on the Dallas North Tollway. Design guidelines define the
qualities of building and site design that make successful projects and are tools for guiding
projects to positive development outcomes.
Per the guideline, “Multi-family Developments - The Town Council may permit a multi-
family housing as part of a wholistic development that includes a combination of
businesses designed to create a live, work and play environment. These businesses can
be, but are not limited, retail, office, recreational, f amily-friend entertainment and/or
restaurant establishments. If multi-family housing is part of a development proposal that
includes businesses and/or amenities described in Section F. “Business Establishments
Pursuant to the Town’s Vision” increased density may be permitted. It is highly
recommended that multi-family units be designed with structure parking as opposed to
surface parking.”
The applicant has proposed development standards that are consistent with the Dallas
North Tollway Design Guidelines.
Thoroughfare Plan – The property is bounded to the east by the Tollway and west by Shawnee
Trail.

Town Staff Recommendation:
The request to rezone 34.7 ± acres is located north of Prosper Trail and west of the Dallas North
Tollway, a major corridor into the Town of Prosper, and aims to create a unique mixed-use
development that includes detailed design and development standards. The zoning request
allows for the development of a mixed-use development that includes vertical integration of office,
retail, and/or high-density residential uses in the same building, an office park, and a
neighborhood retail center. There are concerns with the additional multifamily units as per the
comprehensive plan. The Dallas North Tollway Design Guidelines expected additional multifamily
units along the Dallas North Tollway. Staff is recommending approval because this request follows
the design guidelines and will provide innovative opportunities that the Town envisions along the
Dallas North Tollway.
Town Council Public Hearing:
Upon a recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission, a Public Hearing for this item
will be scheduled for the Town Council at their Regular meeting on July 11, 2023.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 119
EXHIBIT B—Planned Development Purpose and Intent:
This planned development is intended to provide for and encourage development that contains a
compatible mix of residential, office, and commercial uses within close proximity to each other, rather
than separating uses.
The use provisions define land uses and the siting and character of the improvements and structures
allowed on the land in a manner that encourages a balanced and sustainable mix of uses. These uses
may be combined either vertically in the same building, or horizontally in multiple buildings, or through
a combination of the two.
Additionally, the standards are intended to promote an efficient pedestrian-access network that
connects the nonresidential and residential uses. The planned development generally addresses the
physical relationship between development and adjacent properties, public streets, neighborhoods, and
the natural environment. This is accomplished by the following;
• Ensuring buildings relate appropriately to surrounding developments and streets which create
cohesive visual identity and attractive street scenes.
• Ensuring site design promotes efficient pedestrian and vehicle circulation patterns.
• Ensuring the creation of high-quality street and sidewalk environments that are supportive of
pedestrian mobility and that are appropriate to the roadway context.
• Ensuring large sites are developed in a manner that supports and encourages connectivity and
creates a cohesive visual identity and attractive street scene.
In order to implement this vision, the standards affecting development are intended to be consistent
with the overall goal. To accomplish this goal, the area has been subdivided into a series of sub-districts
with development restrictions that will be necessary to achieve their collective individuality.
The purpose of sub-district requirements is to define the character of new development within each
sub-district. They have been carefully designed to allow enough flexibility for creative building solutions,
while being prescriptive in areas necessary to preserve consistency throughout the development.

hidden trash collection.
b. Architectural Provisions
Facade Composition
For multi-story buildings, the overall composition of the façade should incorporate a
three-part hierarchy of base, body, and cap to emphasize verticality and to maintain a
balanced façade composition. In addition, the cap of the building should be
architecturally distinguished to provide a visual termination to the facade and interest at
the skyline.
All buildings must be composed of:
Building Base: The “base” of the building clearly defines the realm of the public space
and provides the necessary spatial enclosure. The base of the building is also the device
that effectively engages the pedestrian, defining the character and quality of a street or
public space. It also houses the uses with the most intensity. The height of the base
varies depending on the overall building height. The “base” shall consist of the area of
wall immediately along the ground floor level to the “body” of the building. The
transition from “base” to “body” may be expressed either horizontally, through a shift in
the vertical plane or, vertically through a change in building materials along a level line.
The base shall be between 16’ minimum and, in buildings of at least four stories, may
include up to the floor line of the third floor.
Building Body: The “body” of the building comprises the majority of the building, mainly
defined by its structural composition. It houses the main use and engages all fronts. The
“body” shall consist of the area of wall from the “base” to the “cap.” The transition from
“body” to “cap” may be expressed either horizontally, through a shift in the vertical
plane or vertically through a change in building materials along a level line.
Building Cap: The “cap” of the building could either encompass the last floor of a
building and roof, or be the area above the eave or before the parapet line depending
upon the height or number of stories of the building. The “cap” clearly terminates the
“body” of the building. The building top is determined by the height of the building and
68
26
is not subject to elements of style. The “cap” shall consist of the area of wall from the
top floor level to the parapet or the area of wall from the roof line to the top of the
parapet wall. Optional Body Setback: The optional body setback is a change in the depth
of the vertical plane of the primary facade along the full width of the building at the
transition point between the “base” and the “body” of the building. This setback clearly
divides the base from the rest of the building and provides the opportunity for an
interim cornice line at the top of the base. The depth of the setback varies, but should
be noticeable, in order to perceive the change between the two parts.
Building Composition
By subdividing the building mass into a series of well-scaled volumes, and then
articulating those volumes with window systems, different materials, and special
elements, a rich architectural form can be created. True to its classical roots, this
approach to design provides a rational method of creating a wide variety of buildings
with individual character, that still create a unified ensemble. The concept of “bay
spacing” is critical in helping to maintain an appropriate human scale by breaking up the
massing of large buildings as well as in creating a lively and interesting streetscape
rhythm.
Traditional downtown streetscapes were often comprised of individual buildings divided
into 25 ft. wide parcels facing the primary street. Many buildings were one-lot wide
(25’), although later buildings spanned more than one lot. Wider building facades were
typically divided into repeated sections, or “bays”, ranging from 15 ft. to 30 ft. in width
on the ground floor. This pattern of bay spacing echoed, rather than over-whelmed,
adjacent buildings that might only be one lot wide. Upper stories often were consistent
across two, three or five bays, unifying the building as a whole. Buildings in the Mixed-
Use area should reflect these traditional building facades, and should express a façade
composition ranging from one bay width to no more than 5 bay widths in length.
Special Conditions
All elevations of buildings that can be seen from either the street or public spaces shall
be considered “primary facades” and shall be designed as “fronts.” Buildings occupying
lots with two frontages, such as on corner lots, shall treat both building walls as
“primary facades” with each being equally considered as “fronts.” Additional detailing
and attention can be applied to these two-fronted scenarios in order to better landmark
the corner to enhance the architectural character as well as to improve pedestrian and
vehicular way finding.
Scale & Massing
The overall scale and mass of the buildings that make up a neighborhood play a key role
in attracting patrons, pedestrians, and activities to a particular area. Buildings provide
the perimeter walls for streets and public spaces and should be designed in a manner
that is consistent with the nature of the spaces that they define. Buildings should share
with their neighbors a sense of harmony that reveals focus on defining high quality,
69
27
vibrant public spaces. In the mixed-use area, the focus of building design should
concentrate on the creation of collective expression - on clearly defined public and
outdoor spaces and streetscapes as a cohesive and legible whole - rather than on
individual buildings with a strong individual expression.
New construction should give consideration to appropriate form and proportion as
reflected in the tradition of vernacular, mixed-use buildings. Buildings should be
rectangular, facing the street with the facade aligned with the front property line.
Angled or non-rectilinear buildings, unless relating to the street alignment, are
inappropriate. The bulky form of the overall mass should be articulated into a series of
forms which provide a variety of scale and proportion. The “Base” of a building should
maintain a consistent building plane along the building frontage except to provide
recessed storefront entrances, a special corner feature, usable open space for out-door
dining, or to form a mid-block pedestrian passageway.
Commercial construction on a primarily residential block should be designed to reflect a
residential character. A front yard setback for commercial uses at some interface
locations is desirable. Creating a height transition by locating taller building portions
toward areas with larger scaled buildings and lower portions toward residential areas is
preferable. Long, rectangular buildings should be articulated into two or three distinct
facade elements, separated either by recesses, changes in materials, structural
elements, or sub-divided into individual facades separated by panels. Special
architectural treatment and detailing should be located at the corners of the building
and at the mid-point of the main building mass.
Doors, Windows, & Openings
The different elements defined by the massing, are further articulated by different door,
window and wall systems. These systems will vary by use, but may include the
following: a curtainwall, generally used in the recessed elements; a storefront system
for commercial applications; a primary wall with square punched openings; a secondary
wall system with rectangular punched openings; and a system of columns and lintels
placed in front of curtain walls or storefronts for special portions of the buildings. The
combination of this articulated massing and the reinforcement of forms with different
materials and window patterns result in a lively composition with the capacity to define
dynamic urban space.
Doorways are celebrated and made monumental by a series of special elements added
to the frame around the wall. All window and door openings shall be square or vertical
in proportion, and any other divisions of openings shall happen as a system of squares
or vertically proportioned rectangles. Grouped or “ganged” windows shall be treated as
a single opening, unless they are separated by a minimum 4 inch divider. Windows and
doors may meet at building corners, or shall be a mini-mum of twenty-four inches from
the building corner. Shading devices over doors and windows are permitted to be
cantilevered and made of any architectural grade material, but shall be fully functional
rather than simply decorative. All arcade openings (or “voids”) shall be vertical in
proportion.
70
28
Transparency
Design distinction between upper and lower floors shall be maintained by developing
the ground level facade as primarily transparent and inviting to the public. For
commercial uses, the use of storefront windows, typically consisting of glass set in
wood, clad wood, or metal frames creates a highly inviting and transparent street level
facade. Retail ground floors shall have between 60% and 80% glazing, as measured
from grade to the underside of the slab above. Colored or mirrored glazing and glass
block are inappropriate.
Upper floors generally employ a different ratio of solid area versus opening area and are
differentiated from the more transparent ground floor by having more solid area than
void area and through the use of smaller, vertically oriented windows in a regular
pattern. Ground levels use can also be differentiated through a change in transparency.
Commercial uses, such as retail, shall be more transparent than smaller office or
residential uses. This change in the pattern of doors, windows, and openings helps to
clarify the various uses for the pedestrian by highlighting the nature of public, semi-
public, and private tenants.
Rhythm
Building facades are comprised of a series of patterns, from the number and spacing of
bays, the number and spacing of floor levels, the disposition of openings and
architectural details, and the arrangement and palette of materials, which create an
inherent rhythm. Symmetry, repeated bays with expressed structural elements, and the
repetition of windows and doors create the essential rhythm of the facade. This rhythm
can be further reinforced by changing materials, patterns, reveals, building setbacks,
façade portions or by using design elements such as column or pilasters, which establish
a legible vertical and horizontal arrangement of the various building elements
comprising the facade.
Vertical Alignment
In vernacular buildings, the expression of the structural system follows traditional
construction patterns. As a result, openings are generally stacked above other openings
and solid areas in the facade are stacked above structural elements. This vertical
alignment, determined primarily by structural requirements, reinforces the “bay”
system and helps to clarify the overall building composition. Setbacks, reveals, and
projections in the vertical plane of the building facade can also serve to enhance the
legibility of this composition.
Horizontal Alignment
As well as following a clear vertical alignment, traditional facades were equally
organized horizontally. As previously described, buildings should be divided into three
distinct components: the Base, the Body, and the Cap. The height of these various
elements should be carefully designed so that there is a general consistency along the
entire streetscape. Dramatic changes in building heights will not be allowed. Within
71
29
each building composition, care should be made to align horizontal elements, including
building cornices, sill heights, floor levels, decorative moldings and windows.
Walls
All elevations of buildings that can be seen from public spaces shall be designed as
“fronts.” Street facades should include elements to maintain pedestrian scale and
interest. Architectural details and facade articulation including recesses for outdoor
dining areas, display cases, public art integrated with the building design, and additional
architectural elements and details help create visual interest. Avoid large featureless
facade surfaces by incorporating traditionally sized building components, standard
window sizes, standard brick and siding sizes, trim and details. Blank walls and blind
facades visible from public streets are prohibited.
Columns & Lintels
The columns and lintels in Clearfork derive from the vocabulary of traditional
architecture, but can be abstracted and reinterpreted to incorporate contemporary
building techniques. Although they may be purely ornamental, columns and lintels
should be designed and detailed in character with the traditional construction patterns
of the load bearing buildings of the vernacular architectural styles of central Texas.
Awnings & Canopies
Canopies and awnings shall not be used above the “base” and they shall coordinate with
a horizontal element of the storefront. They shall project at least six feet, so as to
provide shade and shelter to pedestrians. Canopies and awnings of commercial
establishments shall be permitted to encroach over the setback. Canopies and awnings
shall extend horizon-tally from the building and shall be supported by rods, cables or
brackets. The bottom of the canopy and the awning shall be a minimum of eight feet
above the sidewalk.
Canopies of commercial establishments shall be made of wood, metal or glass. Lettering
may be applied to the edges of canopies.
Awnings of commercial establishments shall be made of canvas or synthetic material
having the appearance of canvas. Awnings shall be triangular in section. Awnings may
have side panels, but shall not have a panel enclosing the underside of the awning.
Internal structure of awnings shall be galvanized pipe or extruded aluminum framework.
Awnings shall not be translucent or internally illuminated. Awnings may have lettering
on the valance only.

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
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.

38 Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
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 )
Vertical Mixed-Use
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
Land Use Types
Residential Low Density
This land use is indicative of large-lot single-
family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes
within any low density development will range
between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size.
While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the
total gross density of low density residential
neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling
units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a
continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel
that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s
residents. Most low density residential areas
will be located in Northwest and Northeast
Prosper.
Residential Medium Density
Medium density residential is also
representative of single family detached
dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density
residential neighborhoods could range between
12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A
variation in lot sizes may be permitted to
achieve a goal range in density. While a variety
of lot sizes may be used within medium density
residential neighborhoods, the gross density of
such developments will typically not be less
than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than
2.5 dwelling units per acre.
92
28 Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Residential High Density
High density residential represents the most
intense residential land uses permitted in
Prosper. High density single family uses will
consist of developments greater than 2.5
dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller
than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the
high-density residential district is reflective of
the Artesia development, where single family
residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre
will be substantially higher than the rest of the
community. High density residential may be
located within the Dallas North Tollway,
Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town
Districts. In such areas, high density residential
may take the form of multifamily or single
family attached dwelling units and may include
mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes,
snout houses, brownstones and townhomes.
Retail and Neighborhood Services
Neighborhood services typically include retail
establishments that provide merchandise for
retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and
small medical offices. Retail uses are
particularly important because they contribute
to Prosper’s tax base through both property
and sales taxes, making their inclusion
attractive and often times competitive. Within
Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely
occur at major intersections along the Dallas
North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road
corridors. Neighborhood service uses should
also be strategically placed along the Town’s
perimeter in order to attract patrons from
neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax
revenue opportunities. The majority of
neighborhood service activity within Prosper
will likely be included within the Dallas North
Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old
Town districts.
93
29 Town of Prosper, TX
Comprehensive Plan
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Dallas North Tollway District
The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of
the most intense land uses within Prosper. A
diverse mixture of office, retail and residential
will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise
office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted
throughout the corridor. Office buildings
should be designed for a “campus feel”—they
should be oriented towards common public
space with significant landscaping and should
be linked by a pedestrian network. A common
architectural theme should also be established
for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use
development should be encouraged and should
contain a mixture of office, retail and residential
uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the
most appropriate residential use within this
district. Structured parking should be
encouraged in more intense areas to limit the
presence and visibility of large parking lots.
Structured parking should be oriented in a way
that minimizes visibility from the Tollway.
Highway 380 District
Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the
Highway 380 district will contain a variety of
different uses. The major contrast between
Highway 380 and other districts will be the
inclusion of a big box development and
commercial service uses. Types of appropriate
commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle
refilling stations with a convenience store,
home service centers with outside storage,
garden center with outside storage and other
similar uses which serve the community but are
not necessarily desired on Preston Road or
within the Dallas North Tollway corridor.
Residential land uses may be appropriate within
certain areas, particularly away from major
intersections where retail and commercial will
be the highest and best land use. Residential
land uses may include patio homes, snout
houses, townhomes and brownstones. These
residential areas may serve as a buffer between
more intense activity along Highway 380 and
low density residential areas to the north.

30 Comprehensive Plan
Town of Prosper
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
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.

31 Town of Prosper, TX
Comprehensive Plan
COMMUNITY CHARACTER
Business Park
A Business Park district, located to the west of
the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and
First Street, will include a variety of potential
land uses including light industrial, commercial
warehousing, office storage and commercial
uses with outside storage. While outside
storage will likely occur and be necessary within
this district, significant effort should be placed
on the visual integrity of the district, particularly
when located in higher visibility areas. When
such uses abut roadways, larger landscape
setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include
berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be
used to protect the visual integrity of roadways
and the public view. All outside storage should
also be screened from public view and from
adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF
railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North
Tollway provide the Business Park with
significant accessibility. Uses located along First
Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas
should incorporate a higher degree of
landscaping and architectural design in order to
protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s
roadways.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 119
EXHIBIT B—Planned Development Purpose and Intent:
This planned development is intended to provide for and encourage development that contains a
compatible mix of residential, office, and commercial uses within close proximity to each other, rather
than separating uses.
The use provisions define land uses and the siting and character of the improvements and structures
allowed on the land in a manner that encourages a balanced and sustainable mix of uses. These uses
may be combined either vertically in the same building, or horizontally in multiple buildings, or through
a combination of the two.
Additionally, the standards are intended to promote an efficient pedestrian-access network that
connects the nonresidential and residential uses. The planned development generally addresses the
physical relationship between development and adjacent properties, public streets, neighborhoods, and
the natural environment. This is accomplished by the following;
• Ensuring buildings relate appropriately to surrounding developments and streets which create
cohesive visual identity and attractive street scenes.
• Ensuring site design promotes efficient pedestrian and vehicle circulation patterns.
• Ensuring the creation of high-quality street and sidewalk environments that are supportive of
pedestrian mobility and that are appropriate to the roadway context.
• Ensuring large sites are developed in a manner that supports and encourages connectivity and
creates a cohesive visual identity and attractive street scene.
In order to implement this vision, the standards affecting development are intended to be consistent
with the overall goal. To accomplish this goal, the area has been subdivided into a series of sub-districts
with development restrictions that will be necessary to achieve their collective individuality.
The purpose of sub-district requirements is to define the character of new development within each
sub-district. They have been carefully designed to allow enough flexibility for creative building solutions,
while being prescriptive in areas necessary to preserve consistency throughout the development.

Purpose & Intent
The purpose of the Highway Sub-District is to encourage the creation of a pedestrian-oriented, vertically
integrated, mixed-use, urban environment, providing shopping, employment, housing, business, and
personal services. This sub-district promotes an efficient, compact land use pattern; encouraging
pedestrian activity; reducing the reliance on private automobiles within the district; promoting a
functional and attractive community using urban design principles; and allowing developers flexibility in
land use and site design.
The Highway Sub-District is to be an area with a mixture of intense uses. Buildings are close to and
oriented toward the street. There is a connected street pattern, shared parking, and pedestrian
amenities.

b. Architectural Provisions
Facade Composition
For multi-story buildings, the overall composition of the façade should incorporate a
three-part hierarchy of base, body, and cap to emphasize verticality and to maintain a
balanced façade composition. In addition, the cap of the building should be
architecturally distinguished to provide a visual termination to the facade and interest at
the skyline.
All buildings must be composed of:
Building Base: The “base” of the building clearly defines the realm of the public space
and provides the necessary spatial enclosure. The base of the building is also the device
that effectively engages the pedestrian, defining the character and quality of a street or
public space. It also houses the uses with the most intensity. The height of the base
varies depending on the overall building height. The “base” shall consist of the area of
wall immediately along the ground floor level to the “body” of the building. The
transition from “base” to “body” may be expressed either horizontally, through a shift in
the vertical plane or, vertically through a change in building materials along a level line.
The base shall be between 16’ minimum and, in buildings of at least four stories, may
include up to the floor line of the third floor.
Building Body: The “body” of the building comprises the majority of the building, mainly
defined by its structural composition. It houses the main use and engages all fronts. The
“body” shall consist of the area of wall from the “base” to the “cap.” The transition from
“body” to “cap” may be expressed either horizontally, through a shift in the vertical
plane or vertically through a change in building materials along a level line.
Building Cap: The “cap” of the building could either encompass the last floor of a
building and roof, or be the area above the eave or before the parapet line depending
upon the height or number of stories of the building. The “cap” clearly terminates the
“body” of the building. The building top is determined by the height of the building and
127
29
is not subject to elements of style. The “cap” shall consist of the area of wall from the
top floor level to the parapet or the area of wall from the roof line to the top of the
parapet wall. Optional Body Setback: The optional body setback is a change in the depth
of the vertical plane of the primary facade along the full width of the building at the
transition point between the “base” and the “body” of the building. This setback clearly
divides the base from the rest of the building and provides the opportunity for an
interim cornice line at the top of the base. The depth of the setback varies, but should
be noticeable, in order to perceive the change between the two parts.
Building Composition
By subdividing the building mass into a series of well-scaled volumes, and then
articulating those volumes with window systems, different materials, and special
elements, a rich architectural form can be created. True to its classical roots, this
approach to design provides a rational method of creating a wide variety of buildings
with individual character, that still create a unified ensemble. The concept of “bay
spacing” is critical in helping to maintain an appropriate human scale by breaking up the
massing of large buildings as well as in creating a lively and interesting streetscape
rhythm.
Traditional downtown streetscapes were often comprised of individual buildings divided
into 25 ft. wide parcels facing the primary street. Many buildings were one-lot wide
(25’), although later buildings spanned more than one lot. Wider building facades were
typically divided into repeated sections, or “bays”, ranging from 15 ft. to 30 ft. in width
on the ground floor. This pattern of bay spacing echoed, rather than over-whelmed,
adjacent buildings that might only be one lot wide. Upper stories often were consistent
across two, three or five bays, unifying the building as a whole. Buildings in the Mixed-
Use area should reflect these traditional building facades, and should express a façade
composition ranging from one bay width to no more than 5 bay widths in length.
Special Conditions
All elevations of buildings that can be seen from either the street or public spaces shall
be considered “primary facades” and shall be designed as “fronts.” Buildings occupying
lots with two frontages, such as on corner lots, shall treat both building walls as
“primary facades” with each being equally considered as “fronts.” Additional detailing
and attention can be applied to these two-fronted scenarios in order to better landmark
the corner to enhance the architectural character as well as to improve pedestrian and
vehicular way finding.
Scale & Massing
The overall scale and mass of the buildings that make up a neighborhood play a key role
in attracting patrons, pedestrians, and activities to a particular area. Buildings provide
the perimeter walls for streets and public spaces and should be designed in a manner
that is consistent with the nature of the spaces that they define. Buildings should share
with their neighbors a sense of harmony that reveals focus on defining high quality,
128
30
vibrant public spaces. In the mixed-use area, the focus of building design should
concentrate on the creation of collective expression - on clearly defined public and
outdoor spaces and streetscapes as a cohesive and legible whole - rather than on
individual buildings with a strong individual expression.
New construction should give consideration to appropriate form and proportion as
reflected in the tradition of vernacular, mixed-use buildings. Buildings should be
rectangular, facing the street with the facade aligned with the front property line.
Angled or non-rectilinear buildings, unless relating to the street alignment, are
inappropriate. The bulky form of the overall mass should be articulated into a series of
forms which provide a variety of scale and proportion. The “Base” of a building should
maintain a consistent building plane along the building frontage except to provide
recessed storefront entrances, a special corner feature, usable open space for out-door
dining, or to form a mid-block pedestrian passageway.
Commercial construction on a primarily residential block should be designed to reflect a
residential character. A front yard setback for commercial uses at some interface
locations is desirable. Creating a height transition by locating taller building portions
toward areas with larger scaled buildings and lower portions toward residential areas is
preferable. Long, rectangular buildings should be articulated into two or three distinct
facade elements, separated either by recesses, changes in materials, structural
elements, or sub-divided into individual facades separated by panels. Special
architectural treatment and detailing should be located at the corners of the building
and at the mid-point of the main building mass.
Doors, Windows, & Openings
The different elements defined by the massing, are further articulated by different door,
window and wall systems. These systems will vary by use, but may include the
following: a curtainwall, generally used in the recessed elements; a storefront system
for commercial applications; a primary wall with square punched openings; a secondary
wall system with rectangular punched openings; and a system of columns and lintels
placed in front of curtain walls or storefronts for special portions of the buildings. The
combination of this articulated massing and the reinforcement of forms with different
materials and window patterns result in a lively composition with the capacity to define
dynamic urban space.
Doorways are celebrated and made monumental by a series of special elements added
to the frame around the wall. All window and door openings shall be square or vertical
in proportion, and any other divisions of openings shall happen as a system of squares
or vertically proportioned rectangles. Grouped or “ganged” windows shall be treated as
a single opening, unless they are separated by a minimum 4 inch divider. Windows and
doors may meet at building corners, or shall be a mini-mum of twenty-four inches from
the building corner. Shading devices over doors and windows are permitted to be
cantilevered and made of any architectural grade material, but shall be fully functional
rather than simply decorative. All arcade openings (or “voids”) shall be vertical in
proportion.
129
31
Transparency
Design distinction between upper and lower floors shall be maintained by developing
the ground level facade as primarily transparent and inviting to the public. For
commercial uses, the use of storefront windows, typically consisting of glass set in
wood, clad wood, or metal frames creates a highly inviting and transparent street level
facade. Retail ground floors shall have between 60% and 80% glazing, as measured
from grade to the underside of the slab above. Colored or mirrored glazing and glass
block are inappropriate.
Upper floors generally employ a different ratio of solid area versus opening area and are
differentiated from the more transparent ground floor by having more solid area than
void area and through the use of smaller, vertically oriented windows in a regular
pattern. Ground levels use can also be differentiated through a change in transparency.
Commercial uses, such as retail, shall be more transparent than smaller office or
residential uses. This change in the pattern of doors, windows, and openings helps to
clarify the various uses for the pedestrian by highlighting the nature of public, semi-
public, and private tenants.
Rhythm
Building facades are comprised of a series of patterns, from the number and spacing of
bays, the number and spacing of floor levels, the disposition of openings and
architectural details, and the arrangement and palette of materials, which create an
inherent rhythm. Symmetry, repeated bays with expressed structural elements, and the
repetition of windows and doors create the essential rhythm of the facade. This rhythm
can be further reinforced by changing materials, patterns, reveals, building setbacks,
façade portions or by using design elements such as column or pilasters, which establish
a legible vertical and horizontal arrangement of the various building elements
comprising the facade.
Vertical Alignment
In vernacular buildings, the expression of the structural system follows traditional
construction patterns. As a result, openings are generally stacked above other openings
and solid areas in the facade are stacked above structural elements. This vertical
alignment, determined primarily by structural requirements, reinforces the “bay”
system and helps to clarify the overall building composition. Setbacks, reveals, and
projections in the vertical plane of the building facade can also serve to enhance the
legibility of this composition.
Horizontal Alignment
As well as following a clear vertical alignment, traditional facades were equally
organized horizontally. As previously described, buildings should be divided into three
distinct components: the Base, the Body, and the Cap. The height of these various
elements should be carefully designed so that there is a general consistency along the
entire streetscape. Dramatic changes in building heights will not be allowed. Within
130
32
each building composition, care should be made to align horizontal elements, including
building cornices, sill heights, floor levels, decorative moldings and windows.
Walls
All elevations of buildings that can be seen from public spaces shall be designed as
“fronts.” Street facades should include elements to maintain pedestrian scale and
interest. Architectural details and facade articulation including recesses for outdoor
dining areas, display cases, public art integrated with the building design, and additional
architectural elements and details help create visual interest. Avoid large featureless
facade surfaces by incorporating traditionally sized building components, standard
window sizes, standard brick and siding sizes, trim and details. Blank walls and blind
facades visible from public streets are prohibited.
Columns & Lintels
The columns and lintels in Clearfork derive from the vocabulary of traditional
architecture, but can be abstracted and reinterpreted to incorporate contemporary
building techniques. Although they may be purely ornamental, columns and lintels
should be designed and detailed in character with the traditional construction patterns
of the load bearing buildings of the vernacular architectural styles of central Texas.
Awnings & Canopies
Canopies and awnings shall not be used above the “base” and they shall coordinate with
a horizontal element of the storefront. They shall project at least six feet, so as to
provide shade and shelter to pedestrians. Canopies and awnings of commercial
establishments shall be permitted to encroach over the setback. Canopies and awnings
shall extend horizon-tally from the building and shall be supported by rods, cables or
brackets. The bottom of the canopy and the awning shall be a minimum of eight feet
above the sidewalk.
Canopies of commercial establishments shall be made of wood, metal or glass. Lettering
may be applied to the edges of canopies.
Awnings of commercial establishments shall be made of canvas or synthetic material
having the appearance of canvas. Awnings shall be triangular in section. Awnings may
have side panels, but shall not have a panel enclosing the underside of the awning.
Internal structure of awnings shall be galvanized pipe or extruded aluminum framework.
Awnings shall not be translucent or internally illuminated. Awnings may have lettering
on the valance only.

Letter of Intent and Purpose
Acreage of Subject Property
The applicant requests to amend the zoning of the subject property from PD-40 (Planned Development
– Mixed use) for a Specific Use Permit (SUP).
The project is located on 8.238 acres and will house temporary school buildings on the St. Martin De
Porres Catholic Church campus in Prosper, Texas. These temporary school buildings will allow members
of the congregation as well as the community to attend private school while the school prepares and
constructs an addition to the school campus.
Detailed Justification and / or supporting documentation as to why the applicant is requesting to
rezone the subject property to a specific use permit.
The subject site is currently zoned Planned Development which is a district that accommodates planned
associations of uses such as offices, commercial or service centers, shopping centers, residential
development of multiple or mixed housing (including attached single-family dwellings), or any
appropriate combination of uses that may be planned, developed, or operated as integral land use units
either by a single owner or a combination of owners. A PD District may be used to permit new or
innovative concepts in land utilization not permitted by other zoning districts in this chapter. While
greater flexibility is given to allow special conditions or restrictions that would not otherwise allow the
development to occur, procedures are established herein to ensure against misuse of increased
flexibility.
The Specific Use Permit is a zone that provides the town an opportunity to approve, conditionally
approve, or deny identified specific uses that may be permitted in specified zoning districts. These uses
generally have unusual nuisance characteristics or are of a public or semi-public character and are often
essential or desirable for the general convenience and welfare of the community. However, because of
the nature of the use, the importance if the use’s relationship to the Comprehensive Plan, and possible
adverse impacts on neighboring properties review, evaluation, and exercise of sound planning
judgement relative to the location and site plan are required.
The Subject property will be temporary school buildings on the St. Martin De Porres Catholic Church
Campus which will allow the community various options for education.
Describe any other special considerations or unique characteristics of subject property.
In accordance with Chapter 3 (Permitted uses and definitions), Section 1 (Use of Land and Buildings)
Section 1.4 goes over conditional development standards. Number 7 of Section 1.4 addresses temporary
buildings, which states that temporary buildings are permitted by right for houses of worship however,
temporary buildings for private enterprises are permitted by SUP. Based on correspondence with the
Town of Prosper officials a private school use would require SUP.
