Re: Board of Adjustment Meeting
Meeting: February 19, 2025
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon a request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a reduction
to the Minimum Lot Area, Lot W idth, and Front Yard Setback requirements in the Single Family-
15 District on Bryant’s First Addition, Block 14, Lots 11-12, on 0.3± acre, located on the north side
of Second Street and 270± feet east of Coleman Street. (VAR-25-0001)
Description of Agenda Item:
The subject property is zoned Single Family-15 and consists of a tract of land that measures
approximately 90 feet in width by 140 feet in depth, totaling 0.3± acre (12,600 square feet). It is a
combination of three portions of property, as described below:
- A 30' x 140' strip of the east half of the formerly platted Hall Street,
- a 50' x 140' strip being Lot 12, Block 14, Bryant's Addition, and
- a 10' x 140' strip being the west 10 feet of Lot 11, Block 14, Bryant's Addition,
The applicant has purchased the property and would like to construct a single-family home. To
do so, the lot must be platted and comply with the Single Family-15 requirements, which are as
follows:
- Minimum Lot Area — 15,000 SF
- Minimum Lot Width — 100’
- Minimum Lot Depth — 135’
The lots in this area were platted with 50-foot lot widths, and later sold. The subject property sits
in between two lots that are platted, causing the applicant to not be able to construct a home
meeting all the requirements of Single Family-15.
The applicant is also requesting a variance to reduce the front setback from 35’ to 30’. Town Staff
has informed the applicant that they will only recommend approval for the variances to the lot

width and the lot area but would not recommend approval for the variance to the front yard
setback.
According to the Zoning Ordinance, the Board of Adjustment may consider, in specific cases, a
variance of height, yard, area, exterior structure, lot coverage, off-street parking and loading
requirements from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance, if the variance is not contrary to the public
interest and, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in
unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the Ordinance is observed and substantial justice
is done. A variance shall not be granted to relieve a self -created or personal hardship, nor shall
it be based solely on economic gain or loss, nor shall it permit any person a privilege in developing
a parcel of land not permitted by Ordinance to other parcels of land in the Town or the district. No
variance may be granted if it results in an unnecessary hardship, as herein defined, on another
parcel of land.
In order to make a finding of hardship and to grant a variance, the Board of Adjustment must
determine that the following four (4) criteria have been met:
1. The requested variance does not violate the intent of the Zoning Ordinance or its amendments;
and
2. Special conditions of restricted area, shape, topography, or physical features exist that are peculiar
to the subject parcel of land and are not applicable to other parcels of land in the same zoning
district; and
3. The hardship is in no way the result of the applicant’s own actions; and
4. The interpretation of the provisions in the Zoning Ordinance or its amendments would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties, in the same zoning district, that comply
with the same provisions.
The concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board of Adjustment is necessary to authorize a
variation from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance.

Town Staff Recommendation:
Town staff recommends approval of the request for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance to allow
for a reduction to the Minimum Lot Area and Lot W idth requirements in the Single Family-15
District on Bryant’s First Addition, Block 14, Lots 11-12, on 0.3± acre, located on the north side of
Second Street and 270± feet east of Coleman Street.

To,
Zoning Commission
Town of Prosper, Planning Department, Collin County
250 W. First Street, Prosper, Texas 75078
Subject: LeƩer of Intent for Zoning Request to Change from SF-15 to SF-12.5 for Property Parcel IDs
976509 and 976545.
Dear Zoning Commission Members,
I am wriƟng to formally request a zoning change for the properƟes idenƟfied by Parcel ID 976509 (Geo
ID: R-0972-014-0002-1) and Parcel ID 976545 (Geo ID: R-0972-014-011A-1), situated in Town of Prosper,
Collin County, Texas, from Single Family 15 (SF-15) to Single Family 12.5 (SF-12.5). The subject property,
as detailed in Exhibit A, encompasses a 90' x 140' tract of land, totaling approximately 0.29 acres.
Acreage and LocaƟon
The subject property is described as follows:
A 30' x 140' strip of the east half of the formerly plaƩed Hall Street.
A 50' x 140' strip being Lot 12, Block 14, Bryant's AddiƟon.
A 10' x 140' strip being the west 10 feet of Lot 11, Block 14, Bryant's AddiƟon.
JusƟficaƟon for Zoning Change
The proposed rezoning from SF-15 to SF-12.5 is intended to beƩer align the property with the
surrounding neighborhood's character and to maximize the efficient use of the land. The reduc Ɵon in lot
size requirements will provide the following benefits:
1. Enhanced Land UƟlizaƟon: The rezoning will allow for a more pracƟcal and efficient use of the
land, facilitaƟng the construcƟon of residenƟal structures that are consistent with the
surrounding homes.
2. Community Consistency: The neighborhood primarily consists of properƟes with similar or
smaller lot sizes. Rezoning to SF-12.5 will ensure architectural and community harmony.
3. Economic Benefits: The zoning change will contribute posiƟvely to the local economy by
increasing property values and enabling more residenƟal development opportuniƟes.
8
4. MeeƟng Housing Demand: The area has a growing demand for housing, and the rezoning will
enable the development of homes that are more accessible to a broader range of potenƟal
residents.
Special ConsideraƟons
The proposed rezoning of the subject property from Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Single Family-12.5 (SF-
12.5) aligns with the Town of Prosper’s broader vision for revitalizing Old Town by encouraging more
efficient land use and enhancing residenƟal development. As Prosper conƟnues to focus on transforming
Old Town into a vibrant, mixed-use community, the requested zoning change will facilitate the
construcƟon of homes that are more consistent with the evolving character of the area. This change will
not only support the town’s goals for increased housing opƟons but also contribute to the overall
economic vitality and community engagement in this historic district. By allowing slightly smaller lot
sizes, the rezoning will help meet the growing demand for residenƟal properƟes while preserving the
unique charm of Old Town Prosper.
The subject property has unique characterisƟcs, including its composiƟon of three disƟnct land strips.
The rezoning will facilitate the efficient and cohesive development of this plot of land, which is currently
underuƟlized. AddiƟonally, the proximity to local ameniƟes, schools, and public transportaƟon enhances
the suitability of this property for more intensive residenƟal use.
Thank you for your Ɵme and consideraƟon of this zoning change request. I am confident that this
rezoning will be beneficial to the community and align with the long-term planning goals of the city.
Sincerely,
Jabeen Shazia & Aqeel Ahmed
