present it to the Town Secretary, preferably before the meeting begins. Pursuant to Section
551.007 of the Texas Government Code, individuals wishing to address the Council for
items listed as public hearings will be recognized when the public hearing is opened. For
individuals wishing to speak on a non-public hearing item, they may either address the
Council during the Citizen Comments portion of the meeting or when the item is
considered by the Town Council
Items for Individual Consideration:
8. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to amend the
Future Land Use Plan from Low Density Single Family to Tollway District,
generally located on the north side of Prosper Trail, west of Shawnee Trail.
(CA19-0005). [Companion Case Z19-0024] (AG)
9. Conduct a Public Hearing, and consider and act upon a request to rezone 3.4±
acres from Agricultural (A) to Office (0) and 5.6± acres from Agricultural (A) to
Single Family-15 (SF-15), located on the north side of Prosper Trail, west of
Shawnee Trail. (Z19-0024). [Companion Case CA19-0005] (AG)
Mayor Smith opened Items 8 and 9 concurrently.
Planning Manager Alex Glushko presented both items before the Town Council
concurrently. Town staff received a request to rezone 5.6± acres of the subject
property from Agricultural (A) to Single Family-15 (SF-15) and to rezone 3.4± acres
from Agricultural (A) to Office (0). While the request to rezone to residential is in
conformance with the Future Land Use Plan, the request to rezone to office is not in
conformance with the Future Land Use Plan. The proposed amendment extends a
narrow area of the Tollway District west of Shawnee Trail.
The purpose of the zoning request is to rezone the northern portion of the property to
Single Family-15 (SF-15), where an existing house is currently located, and to zone
the southern portion of the property to Office (0) District, to allow for an office
development in the future. The applicant has been advised of the standards necessary
for development. Matt Moore of Claymoore Engineering spoke on behalf of the
applicant, and confirmed that mutual access to the existing home on the northern
section of the property will remain. The current owner plans to sell the existing
residential portion of the property, while the acreage fronting Prosper Trail will be
developed for office uses.
Mayor Smith opened the Public Hearings for Items 8 and 9 concurrently.
With no one speaking, Mayor Smith closed the Public Hearings.
Mr. Glushko confirmed that while the property is within the Tollway District on the
Comprehensive Plan, the Office (0) zoning district governs development of the
property, including building height. Mr. Moore confirmed that while it is possible to
provide enough parking for a two-story building on the property, he is only planning to
develop a one-story building at this time.

After discussion, Councilmember Ray made a motion and Councilmember Hodges
seconded the motion to approve the request to amend the Future Land Use Plan from
Low Density Single Family to Tollway District, generally located on the north side of
Prosper Trail, west of Shawnee Trail. The motion was approved by a vote of 7-0.
Councilmember Miller made a motion and Councilmember Andres seconded the
motion to approve the request to rezone 3.4t acres from Agricultural (A) to Office (0)
and 5.6t acres from Agricultural (A) to Single Family-15 (SF-15), located on the north
side of Prosper Trail, west of Shawnee Trail, subject to approval of a Development
Agreement regarding architecture and building materials. The motion was approved
by a vote of 7-0.
10. Consider and act upon a request to waive the Town's Drainage System Design
Requirements for a wet or underground detention pond for the regional pond on
the original Worldwide Rock tract for the All Storage development. (DH)
Dan Heischman, Assistant Director of Engineering Services — Development,
presented this item before the Town Council. On August 14, 2018, the Town Council
approved a waiver from the wet detention pond requirement for the Worldwide Rock
development. The proposed pond would be behind a screening wall and include
evergreen screening to block the pond from being visible from public right-of-way.
The Worldwide Rock development is not proceeding at this time; however, an
agreement to provide regional detention still exists between the Worldwide Rock
development and the All Storage development to the south. The applicant for All
Storage is requesting to amend the waiver request to provide evergreen screening in
lieu of the original screening wall plan proposed with the Worldwide Rock
development. Matt Moore with Claymoore Engineering, representing the applicant,
spoke in favor of the request, stating that he believes the request is appropriate for the
property, since it is zoned for industrial/commercial uses.
After discussion, Councilmember Andres made a motion and Councilmember Hodges
seconded the motion to approve the request to allow a dry detention pond to serve the
Worldwide Rock tract for the All Storage development, with six-foot shrubbing at the
time of planting, along the north and west sides of the easement, as depicted in the
exhibit. The motion was approved by a vote of 7-0.
