acres from Planned Development-75 to a Planned Development for Multifamily and
Mixed -Use, located at the northwest corner of Dallas Parkway and Prosper Trail.
(ZONE-24-0001)

the location, land uses, and other features within the Planned Development.
A statement was made that the site plan exhibit is conceptual in nature, and future preliminary
site plans and site plans would comply with all Engineering standards, Fire Codes, and so forth.
Commissioner Jackson and Blanscet asked about the number of units proposed for the multi-
family buildings, as well as the potential height of the buildings.
Town Staff answered that there will be a maximum of 500 multifamily units allowed in the overall
development. The Planned Development standards reduce the Zoning Ordinance size
requirement for one- and two -bedroom apartments from 850 square feet to 750 square feet.
Additionally, Efficiency Units at 570 square feet were also introduced in the Planned
Development. The maximum amount of efficiency units is ten percent.

Commissioner Daniel opened the Public Hearing.
Lauren Medina introduced the team representing the project.
Architect, Barry Hand, presented the proposed retail village, event center, and Hotel VOZ, mixed -
use retail/residential core, parking deck, athletic hotel by the name of Hotel Carbon, as well as
multifamily residential. Mr. Hand introduced the concept of compartmentalized pods on the
grounds of Hotel VOZ.
Commissioner Harris asked questions about the expected timeline of the phases and how they
may coincide with and benefit from the 2026 World Cup.
House of Tangram CEO, Sean Ellis, informed Commissioner Harris that the multi -family buildings
on the north end of the project and the structure of Hotel Carbon should be up and open to touring
by 2026.
Commissioners discuss the project with the applicants, including items such as the expected
demographic for the multifamily tenants, phasing of the project with attention to the multifamily
timing versus the retail and amenities, and leasing options for the multifamily before and after the
World Cup.
Mr. Hand confirmed that if the multifamily were to be completed by the World Cup, there could be
a scenario where a large number of renters could leave once it is over; however, they do not
expect the project to be completed that fast and are more so aiming for the structures to be up for
showcasing and full occupancy by late 2026 or early 2027.
Commissioner Carson asks if they have considered eliminating the proposed surface parking and
expanding the parking garage.
The applicant responded that the intent is to offer multiple parking options to the tenants.
Commissioner Carson asked if a park would be required.
Town Staff answered that the Park Master Plan does not have a park designed in this location;
however, there is a requirement for 30 percent of open space for multifamily with an overall open
space requirement for the development of 15 percent. Additionally, the open space must be
usable.
Commissioners discussed with the applicant the intended demographics of the intended residents
and users of the development with discussion about whether the development would be geared
towards family activities.
Commissioners requested information about the proposed Extended Stay Hotel that is the
rehabilitation part of the medical offices.
The applicant indicated that there will be ten units in the tower that can be used for recovery
purposes. When it is not occupied, the units are serviced by the hotel.
Commissioner Jackson asked if the rooms in the tower would be considered short-term rentals.
Town Staff answered that it would not.

Chairman Daniel asked Mr. Ellis about the certainty of the VOZ Hotel.
Mr. Ellis stated that they are firm in their decision to have it, as well as how important it is that it
be built with the proposed wedding venue in mind.
The Commissioners and applicants further discussed the proposed hotels.
There was discussion regarding the proposed 24 public art installations.
Chairman Daniel opened the floor to public comments and to anyone who wishes to come
forward.
Daniel Floyd, of 1651 Birdsong Lane, Prosper, TX, spoke in favor of Item 4 and the
developer's direct approach to involving the neighborhood in the conversation about this
project.
Carleen Hardin, also of 1651 Birdsong Lane, Prosper, TX, did not wish to speak; however,
she wanted her support for Item 4 noted for the record.
Chairman Daniel closed the floor to public comments.
Commissioner Carson asked Town Staff for the location of the future Pradera development and
its proximity to this proposal.
Town Staff informed Commissioner Carson that the Pradera property will be 1,200 feet to the
north.
Commissioner Carson asked when this case is expected to go before the Town Council at the
earliest.
Town Staff answered that the earliest would be on May 28th
Commissioner Carson asked if there is any Town involvement as far as roadways or utilities that
would need to happen before the project can begin.
Engineer Mike Martini answered that there have been discussions with the Town and that there
should be capacity for this development and that the project is not hindered by anything that needs
to be completed by the time they start building.
Chairman Daniel asked Town Staff what had been discussed regarding building materials.
Town Staff answered that the specifics of the development agreement had not yet been
addressed as the Planned Development standards would be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning
Commission and Town Council first. The development agreement would follow this process.
Commissioner Blanscet expressed his concerns over the proposed retail development being in a
floodplain and whether they will need to go through FEMA for permits.

Mr. Martini explained that a full flood study will be done at the time of the preliminary site plan.
Any further limitations will be determined when the study is completed. The intention is to reclaim
as much as possible for the development.
Town Staff informed the Commissioners that the Town of Prosper does allow floodplain
reclamation.
Chairman Daniel closed the Public Hearing.
The Commissioners summarized their thoughts about the proposal and expressed concerns and
recommendations related to phasing, the multifamily residential unit size and number, floodplain,
etc. There was a desire to have a joint work session with the Town Council.

The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 7-0.
