CITIZEN COMMENTS
No comments were made.
REGULAR AGENDA:
5. Discussion of Proposed Unified Development Code.
Abdul Ghous with Freese and Nichols presented the proposed Unified Development Code. He
highlighted updates and substantial changes. The reason for the consolidation of the codes and
ordinances is tied to best planning practices and to be aligned with the legislative authority, the
Texas Local Government Code (TLGC), to allow regulations to be enforceable and can be
defended in court.
Commissioner Blanscet requested the description of "Transient Rental' and asked whether it
would fall under short term rentals.
Mr. Ghous clarified it to mean group homes and things of that nature are consolidated to a specific
zoning district or not allowable in single-family, townhomes, patio -homes & condos. A short-term
rental (i.e. less than 30 days) is defined in the Unified Development Code. Short-term rentals are
not an allowable use in Prosper, and this is not changing.

Commissioner Blanscet requested clarification on Chapter 14 regarding the tabling an item when
an applicant was not present and whether it pertained to zoning cases.
Ms. Ghous clarified it could be for any application. This codifies the language in the code that may
have been absent before. If an applicant is not present for a Commission or Council meeting, the
item may be tabled to the next meeting.
Mr. Hoover stated that he does not believe that anything will officially change how cases have
been processed historically. This modification codifies the process currently in place.
Additionally, the item could be denied; there is nothing stating it cannot be. The update allows for
item to be tabled to the next meeting without re -noticing.
Mr. Ghous and Mr. Hoover discussed that the Unified Development Code will consolidate
standards into one document, remove conflicts that may be present in the codes, and codify
policies that are currently in place.
Commissioner Blanscet requested clarification regarding the expiration provision for Site Plans.
Mr. Ghous clarified that Texas Local Government Code, Section 145.005 allows up to two years,
but it is at the Town's discretion. Mr. Hoover stated that site plans currently expire in 18 months.
The Town attorney is reviewing this, verifying our ability to shorten this under the code.
The Commissioners asked about the provision prohibiting "jellyfish" style outdoor lighting and how
that would affect homes where it is already installed and if the new provision would require the
lighting to be removed.
Mr. Ghous stated that Code enforcement will implement these standards when notified by citizen
complaints and removal will is required within a certain timeline.
Commissioner Carson asked whether the clarification between lot sizes and density in the
Comprehensive Plan had been clarified or if that was a future discussion.
Mr. Hoover stated it will be cleaned up in the Ordinance but the language in the Comprehensive
Plan conflicts with each other. The Comprehensive Plan needs to be harmonious with the Unified
Development Code and will likely require amending at the same time.
6. Review actions taken by the Planning & Zoning Commission and possibly direct
Town Staff to schedule topic(s) for discussion at a future meeting.
Mr. Hill informed the Commissioners of past Town Council actions and upcoming cases for
Planning & Zoning Commission consideration.
7. Adjourn
Vice Chair Carson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Daniel. The motion was carried unanimously by a vote of 7-0.
The meetog was adjourned at 6:37 P.M.
