CITIZEN COMMENTS
Parker Reguero, 1811 Santa Fe Lane, listed concerns for those residing in Frontier Estates, which
consisted of the excessive influx of cut -through traffic entering the neighborhood from Frontier
Parkway and exiting on Preston Road to bypass the traffic signal and the current noise levels on
Frontier Parkway, and the anticipation of them worsening as the road expansion progresses. He
requested a traffic study to be conducted to adjust the timing at the Preston Road and Frontier
Pkwy intersection and for TxDOT to conduct another noise analysis or ideally a noise barrier wall
to be installed between their neighborhood and the road as part of the expansion project.
Raj Sripada, 1651 Santa Fe Lane, noted the same concerns as Mr. Reguero.
Mr. Canizares noted the Police Chief and Director of Engineering Services are in attendance and
will have staff can reach out to facilitate a meeting to discuss further.
Items for Individual Consideration:
13. Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon a request to rezone 0.3±
acres on Prosper Central Addition, Block 1, Lot 1 from Single Family-15 to
Planned Development —Downtown Office to allow multifamily, office, and retail
uses, located on the northeast corner of Coleman Street and Sixth Street.
(ZONE-23-0029) (DH)
Mr. Hoover introduced the item noting the intent of the request is to construct a two-
story, mixed -use building that allows for multifamily, office, and retail uses. The first
floor will consist of office and retail uses while the second floor will consist of a
maximum of four multifamily units. Mr. Hoover outlined the surrounding zoning,
permitted uses, parking requirements, landscaping requirements, and architectural
standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the item
with a 4-2 vote. The Commissioners voting in opposition were due to concerns with
the multifamily component, and the adjacency to residential development to the east.
Staff recommends approval.
The Town Council discussed parking, setbacks from Coleman, landscaping, lighting,
and alleyway improvements.
