EGULAR AGENDA
4. 4. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider an ordinance amending Article 2,
Division 13 — Multifamily District; Article 4, Division 4, Section 4.4.3 — Non -
Residential and Multifamily Parking Provisions; and Article 4, Division 8 - Non -
Residential & Multifamily Design and Development of the Town of Prosper Zoning
Ordinance to modify Multifamily development standards. (ZONE-24-0019)
Mr. Hoover presented the proposed multifamily amendments, which addressed two issues of
concern from the previous amendment proposal. The update addressed the removal of specific
density requirement and included the addition of a statement that for any Planned Development
district approved by the Town prior to the adoption of this ordinance, and for which there is no
number of multifamily units stated therein, then the permitted number of multifamily units is

authorized by the Town's Zoning Ordinance on the date of adoption of said Planned Development
district.
Commissioner Carson proposed adding language to Article 2, Division 13, § 2.13.2, Subsection
H — Building Configuration, stating that in the event the garage is not fully surrounded, it must be
fully clad to give the appearance of the rest of the fagade. Commissioner Carson explained that
this provided options for the construction of the multifamily building if, for example, it was a taller
podium -style apartment building. This would ensure that the garage would be screened from
view of the surrounding buildings. Further, Commissioner Carson stated that in the event the
garage is not fully surrounded, the requirement of the parking garage to be fully clad gives the
appearance of a fagade.
Commissioner Blanscet agreed with the proposed addition and noted that the addition would
require a modification of the language in Article 4, Division 4, § 4.4.3, Subsection U.
Commissioner Carson asked if Article 2, Division 13, § 2.13.2, Subsection I provided the ability
for the first floor to be either residential or retail use. He stated that mixed use products were
beneficial to residents and inquired if that can be addressed at the time of a Planned Development
request.
David Hoover clarified that this could be clarified through the Planned Development standards. It
is possible to allow residential uses on the first floor while the development is ongoing and then
transition the area back to retail.
Chair Daniel opened the public hearing.
No comments were made.
Chair Daniel closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Carson made a motion to approve Item 4 with the following conditions:
1. Add language regarding multifamily garages being fully clad and matching the fagade of
the residential units in Article 2, Division 13, § 4.4.3, Subsection H.
2. Add language regarding multifamily garages being fully clad in Article 4, Division 2,
Section 4.4.3, Subsection U.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Blanscet. The motion was carried unanimously by a
vote of 6-0.
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.
Mr. Hoover noted the contract for the Unified Development Code was approved, which is a
process of updating the Town's codes. Mr. Hoover elaborated about the Unified Development
Code, stating that it would include updates to the allowed uses within zoning districts, engineering
standards, park standards, and building codes, as well as the centralization of these updates.
Additionally, Mr. Hoover noted that Town's consultant for the project would be Freese & Nichols
There would be a kickoff meeting to start the process, and it was estimated to take six months.
