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)
Staff requested that the Commission remove Item 4 from the table.
Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to remove Item 4 from the table. Commissioner Harris
seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 6-0.
Staff presented the Commission with the revisions that the applicant made regarding phasing, a
wrapped product for the multifamily component in the northwest corner of the conceptual plan,
and structure parking for the multifamily component.
The Commissioners are also informed that the applicant has set a unit count for the development
at 515 units and uses were updated to follow design guidelines for the DNT Corridor. Modifications
were also made to the Office Building on the northeast corner, as well as the wrapping of the
sports court in the center.
Commissioner Carson asked if and where Multifamily Zone is defined and how it is different from
the Mixed -Use Zone. Town Staff explained on Exhibit D where that change had been made.
Commissioner Harris asked the difference between a Cocktail Lounge and an Alcohol/Beverage
establishment and how that will be defined.
Town Staff explained that they removed Alcohol Beverage Establishment and Alcohol Beverage
Sales and added Wine Bar, Cocktail Lounge, as well as a few other uses. This was done so that
a more specific use could be identified.
Commissioner Harris asked if, because the extended stay aspect of the proposed XO2 tower was
approved by right, if the property is sold, can this right be transferred to a new owner. Town Staff
answered that because it is specified with the XO2 tower's name next to it in the agreement, it
cannot be.
Lori Medina introduced the team representing the project

Architect, Barry Hand, presented the changes made to the proposed development which included
changes to the multifamily building, event center, slight movement of the hotels and mixed -use
retail/residential core.
Mr. Hand informed the Commissioners of their proposal for the new phasing changes with Phase
1 beginning after about a year of approval. Mr. Hand also explained to the Commissioners the
details of the proposed waterway in the project and how it will work with the floodplain.
House of Tangram CEO Sean Ellis explained the goal of Hotel Carbon and the key demographic,
which is athletes. Mr. Ellis further proposed the idea of integrating a wearable tracking device for
the athletes that stay to cater towards their specific health levels in the rooms, allergy
requirements, and tracking for parents.
Mr. Ellis went into detail on the design of the hotel rooms, layout, and ability to create a curated
social space for guests based on their ages.
Mr. Hand addressed the updates to the uses in the Mixed -Use Zone.
Chairman Daniel asked Town Staff to confirm whether they were recommending approval and if
there were any concerns.
Town Staff confirmed they are recommending approval and that the application meets the
guidelines of the Dallas North Tollway. They also further explained to the Commissioners the
items modified after the previous meeting and that the list of changes had been included in the
Commissioners' packets.
Commissioner Hamilton asked for clarification on the height requirements for buildings along
Shawnee Trail as well as the building along the DNT and whether it will be nine stories or fourteen
stories. Town Staff answered that the height of the buildings will have to meet the minimums on
either side but can vary within the property.
Commissioner Hamilton requested that the Commercial Indoor Amusement be moved to an SUP,
as well as the Furniture, Home Furniture, Antique Shop, Appliance Store, and Vet Clinic either
being an SUP or removed completely. Mr. Hand specified that the intention is more towards
boutique furniture stores. Mr. Ellis also stressed the importance of keeping the pet focused
retailers and considering coming back to them later.
Commissioner Hamilton requested that there be dedicated lanes turning into the projected versus
just an opening. Town Staff informs the Commissioners that they would not be going into the fine
details until the project begins coming in for approval but will ensure all guidelines will be met.
Commissioner Hamilton further requested that the infrastructure will be put in during Phase 1,
and he would also like the development along Prosper Trail to be included in Phase 1. Concern
is also brought up regarding the size of the Open Space area being smaller now that some
changes have been made and things have moved. Mr. Hand explained to Commissioner Hamilton
the reason for not including the retail in the first phase is that it will bring in a different retail mix if
it is done before the waterway is completed.
Commissioner Harris asked for more clarity on the phasing plans as well as what the applicant
means by the infrastructure that is intended to be completed in Phase 1.

Mr. Hand and engineer Mike Martini explained that the infrastructure refers to grading, major
utilities, and storm and sewer so the project would be ready for the future retail uses.
Commissioner Harris asked for confirmation regarding the potential for retail being added in
Phase 1.
Mr. Hand clarified that retail would not be added in Phase 1; it would be added in Phase 2.
Commissioner Carson asked the applicant if there had been any thought regarding combining
Phases 2 and 3 into one phase. Mr. Hand and Mr. Ellis explained that it would be difficult to lump
both of those phases together; however, they expressed that they were amenable to making each
phase bigger.
Commissioner Carson asked about the water level for the waterway in the middle of the
development.
Mr. Hand explained that the goal was to be a water retention pond as opposed to a dry ditch to
be a selling point for outdoor dining.
Commissioner Jackson echoed the statements of the previous Commissioners.
Commissioner Blanscet asked if it would be possible to have the multifamily be built later and
incorporate the core mixed -use retail into Phase 1. Landowner, Krishna Magana, explained that
the issue with request is the potential of the core being landlocked around construction.
Mr. Hand clarified that the X02 tower is written to include restaurant and retail on the first floor.
Commissioner Carson asked if the multifamily development in the northwest corner could be tied
to Hotel Carbon.
Mr. Hand explained that it would be difficult to have lenders sign off on this request.
Commissioner Carson recommended adding a trigger of obtaining a building permit for Hotel
Carbon prior to the development of the multifamily.
Mr. Hand said that the applicant was willing to develop Hotel Carbon as Phase 1A, the multifamily
as Phase 1 B, and re -work Phases 2 and 3.
Additionally, Commissioner Carson recommended limiting the amount of stucco and fiber cement
in the Mixed -Use Zone and specifying items that qualified as true amenities.
Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to approve Item 4 subject to the following changes:
• Phasing is going to be adjusted. Phase 1A will include the infrastructure plus the medical
office/hotel, conference/convention center/hotel with retail amenities on the east side of
the project closest to Dallas Parkway, including the parking garage.
• 1 B will be the multifamily in the northwest quadrant.
• Phase 2 will be mixed -use retail, multifamily, and theatre, plus the reception facility and
retail on the southeast quadrant.
Page 5 of 6
• Phase 3 will be the hotel plus retail on the far west side of the project. The hotel in phase
3 will have 4-diamond status and will include luxury pods called Hakas that will be
complementary to the 4-diamond hotel named Hotel Voz.
• Additional updates to Section 5.2.3 in the mixed -use, removing fiber cement from No. 2
and adding it to No. 3
• Under G.1.8 on Page 93, striking 2 and 3 out and moving 3 items to an SUP as opposed
to approved by right, which will be the commercial amusement indoor facility, furnishing/
home appliance store, and the vet clinic with indoor pet kennel.
• The trigger for 1 B is that 1A will need to have construction started, building permits.
• Phase 4 remains the same with office.
Commissioner Carson seconded the motion. The motion was carried by a vote of 5-1 with
Commissioner Jackson in opposition.
5. Review actions taken by the Town Council and possibly direct Town Staff to
schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
Mr. Hill informed the commissioners of the past Town Council actions and upcoming cases for
Planning & Zoning Commission action.
