GP60399-01 Page 2 of 3 11/2017 Agreement and Signatures 210 It is understood that Principal Life shall not be responsible for any tax or legal aspects of the plan. The employer assumes responsibility for these matters. The employer acknowledges that they have counseled to the extent necessary with selected legal and tax advisors. The obligations of Principal Life shall be governed solely by the provisions of its contracts and policies. Principal Life shall not be required to look into any action taken by the named fiduciary or the employer and shall be fully protected in taking, permitting, or omitting any action on the basis of the employer’s actions. Principal Life shall incur no liability or responsibility for carrying out actions as directed by the named fiduciary or the employer. It is further understood that by signing this application, the employer is purchasing insurance and not making an investment. No reserves, undeclared or unpaid experience premium refunds, or interest with respect to claim payments, nor claim proceeds themselves shall be considered plan assets under ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires that each employee benefit plan subject to the Act designate a "Named Fiduciary who shall have authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the plan." If this plan is subject to ERISA, you must indicate a Named Fiduciary for this plan. Principal Life may not be designated as Named Fiduciary. • The employer has been informed of the eligibility requirements. The employer agrees that insurance applied for shall not become effective or remain effective unless the employer: a) is actively engaged in business for profit within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, or is established as a legitimate nonprofit organization within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code; or is a government agency; and b) meets the participation and contribution requirements. • The employer agrees that insurance applied for shall not become effective unless the application and any attached page(s) are received, accepted and approved by Principal Life. The employer acknowledges and understands that if this application is approved, the group policy will determine all rights and benefits. • The preexisting condition restrictions for critical illness and long term disability insurance have been explained to and understood by the employer. Actively at work and period of limited activity for life, disability and critical illness coverage have been explained to and understood by the employer. • The employer understands receipt and deposit of advanced payment is not a guarantee of coverage. If a policy is issued from this application and is accepted by the proposed policyholder, we will apply the premium deposit to the first premium due for such policy. If no policy is put into force, the premium deposit will be refunded. Premium payment will be monthly unless otherwise indicated. • Acceptance by the employer of any policy or policies issued with this application shall constitute approval of any corrections, additions, or changes specified in the space "For Principal Life Use Only" or as otherwise indicated on this application. • The employer understands that the insurance policy and certificates of coverage may, at the discretion of Principal Life, be provided to the employer in paper or electronic format. The employer agrees to promptly distribute the certificates of coverage to insured employees at the beginning of their coverage under the group policy and to redistribute them from time to time thereafter as reasonably required by Principal Life. • Your agent or broker cannot change or waive any provision of this application or the policy or policies without the written approval of an officer of Principal Life in the home office. • As a result of this sale and any subsequent renewal, your broker and marketing organization, if any, may receive commissions, administrative service fees, other compensation including non-cash compensation, and bonuses based on factors such as, volume of new sales, member and case counts, total premium volume, maintaining a certain percentage of business with Principal Life, selling a certain mix of products, and/or the profitability of the business. The cost of this compensation may be directly or indirectly reflected in the premium or fee for the product(s) you have applied for on this application form. This compensation is in addition to any compensation the broker may receive from you. Contact us at 1-800-388-4793 for further details on your case. We have placed a more detailed description of our compensation programs on www.principal.com/group/compensation. • The person signing this form for the employer has legal authority to bind the employer for whom application is being made. • The employer agrees to make timely notification of any employee termination, status change, or other material changes that may affect the eligibility of employees or their dependents. Timely notification is no more than 31 days past the actual date of such change. Page 20 Item 3. GP60399-01 Page 3 of 3 11/2017 Agreement and Signatures (continued) 210 • The employer understands that failure to pay premium when due will be considered a default in premium payment and coverage will terminate at the end of the grace period. If coverage is terminated for nonpayment of premium, premium through the grace period is due and will be collected. The employer understands that coverage may also be terminated for other reasons as provided in the group policy. • The employer understands their rights and responsibilities if electing self accounting status. Any person who, with intent to defraud or knowing that he or she is facilitating a fraud against an insurer, submits an application or files a claim containing a false or deceptive statement, may be guilty of insurance fraud. Fraud or intentional misrepresentation may be grounds for nonrenewal or termination under the terms of the group policy.

Page 1 of 3 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Hulon Webb, Jr., P.E., Director of Engineering Services Through: Harlan Jefferson, Town Manager Rebecca Zook, Executive Director of Development and Infrastructure Services Re: Town Council Meeting - October 27, 2020 Agenda Item: Consider and act upon awarding CSP No. 2021-08-B to Durable Specialties, Inc., related to construction services for the Traffic Signal Construction at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road and Coit Road/Richland Boulevard project; and authorizing the Town Manager to execute a construction agreement for same. Description of Agenda Item: On October 8, 2020, at 3:00 PM, three (3) Competitive Sealed Proposals (CSP) were received for the Traffic Signal Construction at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road and Coit Road/Richland Boulevard project. The project was advertised using the Competitive Sealed Proposal Construction alternative procurement method to allow the Town to award the project to the contractor that offers the best value proposal based on the following criteria:  Qualifications and Experience (30%) o Outline contractor and subcontractor experience with similar projects. o Outline qualifications of key personnel assigned to this project. o Provide references.  Project Timeline (20%)  Cost Proposal (50%) The verified cost proposal ranged between $398,000.00 and $692,810.00. The Engineer's Estimate was $419,825. The proposed final completion times ranged from 70 calendar days to 210 calendar days. Durable Specialties, Inc., was the firm that ranked the highest after consideration of Costs, Time, and Qualifications with a cost of $398,000.00, and project timeline of 100 calendar days. Prosper is a place where everyone matters. ENGINEERING SERVICES Page 27 Item 4. Page 2 of 3 Durable Specialties, Inc., costs include $157,614.00 for the construction of the traffic signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road, and $240,386.00 for the traffic signal at Coit Road/Richland Boulevard. Town Council had authorized the pre-purchase of the traffic signal equipment for both intersections with the Fishtrap Road/Gee Road equipment totaling $52,513.00 and the Coit Road/Richland Boulevard equipment totaling $122,803.65. The total costs for the Fishtrap Road/Gee Road traffic signal is $210,127.00, and the total cost of the Coit Road/Richland Boulevad traffic signal is $363,189.65. The reason why the traffic signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road is significantly less, is because the Town will be installing a temporary signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road that will consist of galvanized steel poles with span wires supporting the traffic signal heads, similar to what was installed at First Street/Dallas North Tollway prior to the permanent traffic signal being constructed with the Southbound DNT Frontage Road project. In the future, a permanent traffic signal will be installed when the additional lanes of Fishtrap Road and Gee Road are constructed. At that time, the temporary galvanized steel poles will be removed and stored at Public Works to be re-used by the Town for other intersections that require the construction of temporary traffic signals. For comparison, the last traffic signal installed in the Town was at Fishtrap Road/Teel Parkway, at a total cost of $395,602.10. Durable Specialties, Inc., has successfully completed several projects of similar scope and value for the cities of Frisco and Carrollton and recently completed the construction of the traffic signal at Fishtrap Road/ Teel Parkway for the Town of Prosper. Staff checked the references provided and received positive feedback. Budget Impact: The total cost for the construction of the Traffic Signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road and Coit Road/Richland Boulevard project is $398,000 ($157,614.00 for Fishtrap Road/Gee Road; $240,386.00 for Coit Road/Richland Boulevard). The total cost of the pre-purchased items approved at the June 23, 2020, Town Council meeting was $175,316.65 ($52,513.00 for Fishtrap Road/Gee Road; $122,803.65 for Coit Road/Richland Boulevard). The total costs for the Fishtrap Road/Gee Road traffic signal is $210,127.00, and the total cost of the Coit Road/Richland Boulevard traffic signal is $363,189.65. The FY 2020-2021 Capital Improvement Program includes $250,000 for the construction of the traffic signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road and $410,000, for the construction of the traffic signal at Coit Road/Richland Boulevard. The funding sources are Account No. 680-6610-50-00-2004-TR for the traffic signal at Fishtrap Road/Gee Road, and Account No. 660-6610-50-00-2005-TR for the traffic signal at Coit Road/Richland Boulevard. Legal Obligations and Review: Terrence Welch of Brown & Hofmeister, L.L.P., has approved the standard construction agreement as to form and legality. Attached Documents: 1. Location Map 2.

The "estimate of the value of the work properly completed" shall include the net invoice value of acceptable, non-perishable materials actually delivered to and currently at the job site only if the Contractor provides to the Owner satisfactory evidence that material suppliers have been paid for these materials. No progress payment shall be due to the Contractor until the Contractor furnishes to the Owner: 1. copies of documents reasonably necessary to aid the Owner in preparing an estimate of the value of Work properly completed; 2. full or partial releases of liens, including releases from subcontractors providing materials or delivery services relating to the Work, in a form acceptable to the Owner releasing all liens or claims relating to goods and services provided up to the date of the most recent previous progress payment; 3. an updated and current schedule clearly detailing the project’s critical path elements; and 4. any other documents required under the Contract Documents. Progress payments shall not be made more frequently than once every thirty (30) calendar days unless the Owner determines that more frequent payments are appropriate. Further, progress payments are to be based on estimates and these estimates are subject to correction through the adjustment of subsequent progress payments and the final payment to Contractor. If the Owner determines after final payment that it has overpaid the Contractor, then Contractor agrees to pay to the Owner the overpayment amount specified by the Owner within thirty (30) calendar days after it receives written demand from the Owner. Attachment 3 Page 43 Item 4. CSP NO: 2021-08-B TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION AT FISHTRAP ROAD/GEE ROAD AND COIT ROAD/RICHLAND BLVD 13 The fact that the Owner makes a progress payment shall not be deemed to be an admission by the Owner concerning the quantity, quality or sufficiency of the Contractor's work. Progress payments shall not be deemed to be acceptance of the Work nor shall a progress payment release the Contractor from any of its responsibilities under the Contract Documents. After determining the amount of a progress payment to be made to the Contractor, the Owner shall withhold a percentage of the progress payment as retainage. The amount of retainage withheld from each progress payment shall be set at five percent (5%). Retainage shall be withheld and may be paid to: 1. ensure proper completion of the Work. The Owner may use retained funds to pay replacement or substitute contractors to complete unfinished or defective work; 2. ensure timely completion of the Work. The Owner may use retained funds to pay liquidated damages; and 3. provide an additional source of funds to pay claims for which the Owner is entitled to indemnification from Contractor under the Contract Documents. Retained funds shall be held by the Owner in accounts that shall not bear interest. Retainage not otherwise withheld in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be returned to the Contractor as part of the final payment. H. Withholding Payments to Contractor The Owner may withhold payment of some or all of any progress or final payment that would otherwise be due if the Owner determines, in its discretion, that the Work has not been performed in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Owner may use these funds to pay replacement or substitute contractors to complete unfinished or defective Work. The Owner may withhold payment of some or all of any progress or final payment that would otherwise be due if the Owner determines, in its discretion, that it is necessary and proper to provide an additional source of funds to pay claims for which the Owner is entitled to indemnification from Contractor under the Contract Documents. Amounts withheld under this section shall be in addition to any retainage. I. Acceptance of the Work When the Work is completed, the Contractor shall request that the Owner perform a final inspection. The Owner shall inspect the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, it shall issue a written notice of acceptance of the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has not been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, then it shall provide the Contractor with a verbal or written list of items to be completed before another final inspection shall be scheduled. It is specifically provided that Work shall be deemed accepted on the date specified in the Owner's written notice of acceptance of the Work. The Work shall not be deemed to be accepted based on Attachment 3 Page 44 Item 4. CSP NO: 2021-08-B TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION AT FISHTRAP ROAD/GEE ROAD AND COIT ROAD/RICHLAND BLVD 14 "substantial completion" of the Work, use or occupancy of the Work, or for any reason other than the Owner's written Notice of Acceptance. Further, the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all or any part of the Work shall not constitute a Notice of Acceptance for that Work. In its discretion, the Owner may issue a Notice of Acceptance covering only a portion of the Work. In this event, the notice shall state specifically what portion of the Work is accepted. J. Acceptance of Erosion Control Measures When the erosion control measures have been completed, the Contractor shall request that the Owner perform a final inspection. The Owner shall inspect the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and per TPDES General Construction Permit, it shall issue a written Notice of Acceptance of the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has not been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents or TPDES General Construction Permit, then it shall provide the Contractor with a verbal or written list of items to be completed before another final inspection shall be scheduled. K. Final Payment After all Work required under the Contract Documents has been completed, inspected, and accepted, the Town shall calculate the final payment amount promptly after necessary measurements and computations are made. The final payment amount shall be calculated to: 1. include the estimate of the value of Work properly completed since the date of the most recent previous progress payment; 2. correct prior progress payments; and 3. include retainage or other amounts previously withheld that are to be returned to Contractor, if any. Final payment to the Contractor shall not be due until the Contractor provides original full releases of liens from the Contractor and its subcontractors, or other evidence satisfactory to the Owner to show that all sums due for labor, services, and materials furnished for or used in connection with the Work have been paid or shall be paid with the final payment. To ensure this result, Contractor consents to the issuance of the final payment in the form of joint checks made payable to Contractor and others. The Owner may, but is not obligated to issue final payment using joint checks. Final payment to the Contractor shall not be due until the Contractor has supplied to the Owner original copies of all documents that the Owner determines are reasonably necessary to ensure both that the final payment amount is properly calculated and that the Owner has satisfied its obligation to administer the Construction Agreement in accordance with applicable law. The following documents shall, at a minimum, be required to be submitted prior to final payment being due: redline as-built construction plans; consent of surety to final payment; public infrastructure inventory; affidavit of value for public infrastructure; and, final change order(s). “Redline as-built construction plans” shall include, but are not limited to markups for change orders, field revisions, and quantity overruns as applicable. The list of documents contained in this provision is not an exhaustive and exclusive list for every project performed pursuant to these Contract Documents Attachment 3 Page 45 Item 4. CSP NO: 2021-08-B TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION AT FISHTRAP ROAD/GEE ROAD AND COIT ROAD/RICHLAND BLVD 15 and Contractor shall provide such other and further documents as may be requested and required by the Owner to close out a particular project. Subject to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner shall pay the Final Payment within thirty (30) calendar days after the date specified in the Notice of Acceptance. This provision shall apply only after all Work called for by the Contract Documents has been accepted. L. Contractor’s Warranty For a two-year period after the date specified in a written notice of acceptance of Work, Contractor shall provide and pay for all labor and materials that the Owner determines are necessary to correct all defects in the Work arising because of defective materials or workmanship supplied or provided by Contractor or any subcontractor. This shall also include areas of vegetation that did meet TPDES General Construction Permit during final close out but have since become noncompliant. Forty-five (45) to sixty (60) calendar days before the end of the two-year warranty period, the Owner may make a warranty inspection of the Work. The Owner shall notify the Contractor of the date and time of this inspection so that a Contractor representative may be present. After the warranty inspection, and before the end of the two-year warranty period, the Owner shall mail to the Contractor a written notice that specifies the defects in the Work that are to be corrected. The Contractor shall begin the remedial work within ten (10) calendar days after receiving the written notice from the Town. If the Contractor does not begin the remedial work timely or prosecute it diligently, then the Owner may pay for necessary labor and materials to effect repairs and these expenses shall be paid by the Contractor, the performance bond surety, or both. If the Owner determines that a hazard exists because of defective materials and workmanship, then the Owner may take steps to alleviate the hazard, including making repairs. These steps may be taken without prior notice either to the Contractor or its surety. Expenses incurred by the Owner to alleviate the hazard shall be paid by the Contractor, the performance bond surety, or both. Any Work performed by or for the Contractor to fulfill its warranty obligations shall be performed in accordance with the Contract Documents. By way of example only, this is to ensure that Work performed during the warranty period is performed with required insurance and the performance and payment bonds still in effect. Work performed during the two-year warranty period shall itself be subject to a one-year warranty. This warranty shall be the same as described in this section. The Owner may make as many warranty inspections as it deems appropriate. M. Compliance with Laws The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that it and any subcontractors performing any portion of the Work required under the Contract Documents comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal laws, regulations, and rules that relate in any way to the performance and completion of the Attachment 3 Page 46 Item 4. CSP NO: 2021-08-B TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION AT FISHTRAP ROAD/GEE ROAD AND COIT ROAD/RICHLAND BLVD 16 Work. This provision applies whether or not a legal requirement is described or referred to in the Contract Documents. Ancillary/Integral Professional Services: In selecting an architect, engineer, land surveyor, or other professional to provide professional services, if any, that are required by the Contract Documents, Contractor shall not do so on the basis of competitive bids but shall make such selection on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the services in the manner provided by Section 2254.004 of the Texas Government Code and shall so certify to the Town the Contractor's agreement to comply with this provision with Contractor's bid. N. “Anti-Israel Boycott” Provision In accordance with Chapter 2270, Texas Government Code, a Texas governmental entity may not enter into a contract with a company for the provision of goods or services unless the contract contains a written verification from the company that it: (1) does not boycott Israel; and (2) will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract. Chapter 2270 does not apply to a (1) a company that is a sole proprietorship; (2) a company that has fewer than ten (10) full-time employees; or (3) a contract that has a value of less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). Unless the company is not subject to Chapter 2270 for the reasons stated herein, the signatory executing this Agreement on behalf of the company verifies by its signature to this Contract that the company does not boycott Israel and will not boycott Israel during the term of this Contract. O. Other Items The Contractor shall sign the Construction Agreement, and deliver signed performance, payment and maintenance bonds and proper insurance policy endorsements (and/or other evidence of coverage) within ten (10) calendar days after the Owner makes available to the Contractor copies of the Contract Documents for signature. Six (6) copies of the Contract Documents shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Contractor and returned to the Town. The Construction Agreement "effective date" shall be the date on which the Town Council acts to approve the award of the Contract for the Work to Contractor. It is expressly provided, however, that the Town Council delegates the authority to the Town Manager or his designee to rescind the Contract award to Contractor at any time before the Owner delivers to the Contractor a copy of this Construction Agreement that bears the signature of the Town Manager and Town Secretary or their authorized designees. The purpose of this provision is to ensure: 1. that Contractor timely delivers to the Owner all bonds and insurance documents; and 2. that the Owner retains the discretion not to proceed if the Town Manager or his designee determines that information indicates that the Contractor was not the lowest responsible bidder or that the Contractor cannot perform all of its obligations under the Contract Documents. THE CONTRACTOR AGREES THAT IT SHALL HAVE NO CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OF ANY KIND AGAINST OWNER, INCLUDING A CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, NOR SHALL THE OWNER BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, UNTIL THE DATE THE Attachment 3 Page 47 Item 4. CSP NO: 2021-08-B TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONSTRUCTION AT FISHTRAP ROAD/GEE ROAD AND COIT ROAD/RICHLAND BLVD 17 OWNER DELIVERS TO THE CONTRACTOR A COPY OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT BEARING THE SIGNATURES JUST SPECIFIED. The Contract Documents shall be construed and interpreted by applying Texas law. Exclusive venue for any litigation concerning the Contract Documents shall be Collin County, Texas. In the event of any disagreement or conflict concerning the interpretation of this Agreement, and such disagreement cannot be resolved by the signatories hereto, the signatories agree to submit such disagreement to non-binding mediation. Although the Construction Agreement has been drafted by the Owner, should any portion of the Construction Agreement be disputed, the Owner and Contractor agree that it shall not be construed more favorably for either party. The Contract Documents are binding upon the Owner and Contractor and shall insure to their benefit and as well as that of their respective successors and assigns. If Town Council approval is not required for the Construction Agreement under applicable law, then the Construction Agreement "effective date" shall be the date on which the Town Manager and Town Secretary or their designees have signed the Construction Agreement. If the Town Manager and Town Secretary sign on different dates, then the later date shall be the effective date. [Signatures continued on following page.] Attachment 3 Page 48 Item 4.

The Contractor shall also procure and pay for a Maintenance Bond applicable to the work in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the total proposed price. The period of the Maintenance Bond shall be two years from the date of acceptance of all work done under the contract, to cover the guarantee as set forth in this Construction Agreement. The performance, payment and maintenance bonds shall be issued in the form attached to this Construction Agreement as Exhibits A, B and C. Other performance, payment and Attachment 3 Page 96 Item 5. CSP NO: 2021-04-B WEST PROSPER ROADS, SEGMENT A GEE ROAD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 12 maintenance bond forms shall not be accepted.

G. Progress Payments and Retainage As it completes portions of the Work, the Contractor may request progress payments from the Owner. Progress payments shall be made by the Owner based on the Owner's estimate of the value of the Work properly completed by the Contractor since the time the last progress payment was made. The "estimate of the value of the work properly completed" shall include the net invoice value of acceptable, non-perishable materials actually delivered to and currently at the job site only if the Contractor provides to the Owner satisfactory evidence that material suppliers have been paid for these materials. No progress payment shall be due to the Contractor until the Contractor furnishes to the Owner: 1. copies of documents reasonably necessary to aid the Owner in preparing an estimate of the value of Work properly completed; 2. full or partial releases of liens, including releases from subcontractors providing materials or delivery services relating to the Work, in a form acceptable to the Owner releasing all liens or claims relating to goods and services provided up to the date of the most recent previous progress payment; 3. an updated and current schedule clearly detailing the project’s critical path elements; and 4. any other documents required under the Contract Documents. Progress payments shall not be made more frequently than once every thirty (30) calendar days unless the Owner determines that more frequent payments are appropriate. Further, progress payments are to be based on estimates and these estimates are subject to correction through the adjustment of subsequent progress payments and the final payment to Contractor. If the Owner determines after final payment that it has overpaid the Contractor, then Contractor agrees to pay to the Owner the overpayment amount specified by the Owner within thirty (30) calendar days after it receives written demand from the Owner. Attachment 3 Page 97 Item 5. CSP NO: 2021-04-B WEST PROSPER ROADS, SEGMENT A GEE ROAD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 13 The fact that the Owner makes a progress payment shall not be deemed to be an admission by the Owner concerning the quantity, quality or sufficiency of the Contractor's work. Progress payments shall not be deemed to be acceptance of the Work nor shall a progress payment release the Contractor from any of its responsibilities under the Contract Documents. After determining the amount of a progress payment to be made to the Contractor, the Owner shall withhold a percentage of the progress payment as retainage. The amount of retainage withheld from each progress payment shall be set at five percent (5%). Retainage shall be withheld and may be paid to: 1. ensure proper completion of the Work. The Owner may use retained funds to pay replacement or substitute contractors to complete unfinished or defective work; 2. ensure timely completion of the Work. The Owner may use retained funds to pay liquidated damages; and 3. provide an additional source of funds to pay claims for which the Owner is entitled to indemnification from Contractor under the Contract Documents. Retained funds shall be held by the Owner in accounts that shall not bear interest. Retainage not otherwise withheld in accordance with the Contract Documents shall be returned to the Contractor as part of the final payment. H. Withholding Payments to Contractor The Owner may withhold payment of some or all of any progress or final payment that would otherwise be due if the Owner determines, in its discretion, that the Work has not been performed in accordance with the Contract Documents. The Owner may use these funds to pay replacement or substitute contractors to complete unfinished or defective Work. The Owner may withhold payment of some or all of any progress or final payment that would otherwise be due if the Owner determines, in its discretion, that it is necessary and proper to provide an additional source of funds to pay claims for which the Owner is entitled to indemnification from Contractor under the Contract Documents. Amounts withheld under this section shall be in addition to any retainage. I. Acceptance of the Work When the Work is completed, the Contractor shall request that the Owner perform a final inspection. The Owner shall inspect the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, it shall issue a written notice of acceptance of the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has not been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, then it shall provide the Contractor with a verbal or written list of items to be completed before another final inspection shall be scheduled. It is specifically provided that Work shall be deemed accepted on the date specified in the Owner's written notice of acceptance of the Work. The Work shall not be deemed to be accepted based on Attachment 3 Page 98 Item 5. CSP NO: 2021-04-B WEST PROSPER ROADS, SEGMENT A GEE ROAD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 14 "substantial completion" of the Work, use or occupancy of the Work, or for any reason other than the Owner's written Notice of Acceptance. Further, the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all or any part of the Work shall not constitute a Notice of Acceptance for that Work. In its discretion, the Owner may issue a Notice of Acceptance covering only a portion of the Work. In this event, the notice shall state specifically what portion of the Work is accepted. J. Acceptance of Erosion Control Measures When the erosion control measures have been completed, the Contractor shall request that the Owner perform a final inspection. The Owner shall inspect the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents and per TPDES General Construction Permit, it shall issue a written Notice of Acceptance of the Work. If the Owner determines that the Work has not been completed in accordance with the Contract Documents or TPDES General Construction Permit, then it shall provide the Contractor with a verbal or written list of items to be completed before another final inspection shall be scheduled. K. Final Payment After all Work required under the Contract Documents has been completed, inspected, and accepted, the Town shall calculate the final payment amount promptly after necessary measurements and computations are made. The final payment amount shall be calculated to: 1. include the estimate of the value of Work properly completed since the date of the most recent previous progress payment; 2. correct prior progress payments; and 3. include retainage or other amounts previously withheld that are to be returned to Contractor, if any. Final payment to the Contractor shall not be due until the Contractor provides original full releases of liens from the Contractor and its subcontractors, or other evidence satisfactory to the Owner to show that all sums due for labor, services, and materials furnished for or used in connection with the Work have been paid or shall be paid with the final payment. To ensure this result, Contractor consents to the issuance of the final payment in the form of joint checks made payable to Contractor and others. The Owner may, but is not obligated to issue final payment using joint checks. Final payment to the Contractor shall not be due until the Contractor has supplied to the Owner original copies of all documents that the Owner determines are reasonably necessary to ensure both that the final payment amount is properly calculated and that the Owner has satisfied its obligation to administer the Construction Agreement in accordance with applicable law. The following documents shall, at a minimum, be required to be submitted prior to final payment being due: redline as-built construction plans; consent of surety to final payment; public infrastructure inventory; affidavit of value for public infrastructure; and, final change order(s). “Redline as-built construction plans” shall include, but are not limited to markups for change orders, field revisions, and quantity overruns as applicable. The list of documents contained in this provision is not an exhaustive and exclusive list for every project performed pursuant to these Contract Documents Attachment 3 Page 99 Item 5. CSP NO: 2021-04-B WEST PROSPER ROADS, SEGMENT A GEE ROAD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 15 and Contractor shall provide such other and further documents as may be requested and required by the Owner to close out a particular project. Subject to the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Owner shall pay the Final Payment within thirty (30) calendar days after the date specified in the Notice of Acceptance. This provision shall apply only after all Work called for by the Contract Documents has been accepted. L. Contractor’s Warranty For a two-year period after the date specified in a written notice of acceptance of Work, Contractor shall provide and pay for all labor and materials that the Owner determines are necessary to correct all defects in the Work arising because of defective materials or workmanship supplied or provided by Contractor or any subcontractor. This shall also include areas of vegetation that did meet TPDES General Construction Permit during final close out but have since become noncompliant. Forty-five (45) to sixty (60) calendar days before the end of the two-year warranty period, the Owner may make a warranty inspection of the Work. The Owner shall notify the Contractor of the date and time of this inspection so that a Contractor representative may be present. After the warranty inspection, and before the end of the two-year warranty period, the Owner shall mail to the Contractor a written notice that specifies the defects in the Work that are to be corrected. The Contractor shall begin the remedial work within ten (10) calendar days after receiving the written notice from the Town. If the Contractor does not begin the remedial work timely or prosecute it diligently, then the Owner may pay for necessary labor and materials to effect repairs and these expenses shall be paid by the Contractor, the performance bond surety, or both. If the Owner determines that a hazard exists because of defective materials and workmanship, then the Owner may take steps to alleviate the hazard, including making repairs. These steps may be taken without prior notice either to the Contractor or its surety. Expenses incurred by the Owner to alleviate the hazard shall be paid by the Contractor, the performance bond surety, or both. Any Work performed by or for the Contractor to fulfill its warranty obligations shall be performed in accordance with the Contract Documents. By way of example only, this is to ensure that Work performed during the warranty period is performed with required insurance and the performance and payment bonds still in effect. Work performed during the two-year warranty period shall itself be subject to a one-year warranty. This warranty shall be the same as described in this section. The Owner may make as many warranty inspections as it deems appropriate. M. Compliance with Laws The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that it and any subcontractors performing any portion of the Work required under the Contract Documents comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal laws, regulations, and rules that relate in any way to the performance and completion of the Attachment 3 Page 100 Item 5.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ei Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan Executive Summary Prosper’s 2012 Comprehensive Plan is a plan to preserve the past, realize the potential of the present, and guide the future of the Town. It is a coordinated effort of citizens, decision makers, Town staff, and other stakeholders. The Plan analyzes the issues presented by the current conditions to develop a vision for the future of Prosper and designs the pathway to achieve that desired future. As we have seen in the last decade, growth in Prosper is inevitable. This Plan is meant to help preserve the Town’s history, culture and resources, as well as manage growth sensibly and responsibly. This Plan is intended to be a dynamic, flexible and adaptable guide to help decision-makers, citizens, Town staff, developers and business owners shape Prosper’s future on a continual, proactive basis. This planning document forms the basis for policy decisions. Policy-makers and Town staff will use this document as a guide only while reviewing development projects, Town budget, prioritizing capital improvement projects and drafting ordinances to direct growth that leads to the vision identified in this document. For citizens and potential developers, this plan can be used as a guide to: • Compare development requests or projects with the vision and strategies of this plan; • Choose the right project or realign the request to meet the vision; and • Review recommendations and implementation ideas to determine an appropriate development model. Plan Elements Prosper’s 2012 Comprehensive Plan is structured into seven sections – Planning to Plan, Community Vision, Community Character, Transportation Plan, Economic Analysis, Infrastructure Assessment and Implementation Plan. Planning to Plan This section provides introductory information that should be considered as planning decisions are made. Historical population growth for both Prosper and the region, general household characteristics, existing land use, planning constraints and past planning efforts are identified to begin to set the baseline, or context from which plan recommendations should be made. Community Vision One of the most critical elements of the planning process was identifying the Town’s vision. This process included a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) made up of 13 Town residents who were ultimately responsible for formulating Plan recommendations. In addition to the CPAC, two Town Hall meetings were conducted on June 27, 2011 and February 13, 2012. Town residents participated in roundtable discussions and other exercises designed to gather feedback on the Town’s vision. A Visual Character Survey (VCS) was made available on the Town’s website over the duration of a 4 week period. A total of over 440 Town residents participated in the online VCS where residents rated nearly 200 individual images. Key characteristics identified by the public included the desire for maintaining the small- town feel, preserving large-lot homes and providing high-quality retail shopping and restaurants. Community Character The Community Character element examined both land use and livability characteristics. The existing 2004 Comprehensive Plan was used as a basis for land use decisions and necessary and appropriate altercations were made based upon the Community Vision. Overall densities in all residential categories were lowered from the 2004 Plan and lot-size guidelines were provided. Based upon the Future Land Use Plan, the Town could support approximately 69,000 residents and, based upon recent EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 157 Item 7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eii Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper growth trends, build out could potentially occur between 2035 and 2040. Livability guidelines included keeping the more intense development along the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380 while maintaining Preston Road as an internal corridor respective of adjacent residential neighborhoods. General considerations for neighborhood design were derived with an eye towards providing a wide range of housing in Prosper, taking into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicity. A land use and roadway character plan for Old Town was created in order to preserve the historical element of the Town’s founding. Finally, gateway and image enhancement recommendations were provided. Transportation Plan The Town recently completed an update to its Thoroughfare Plan and therefore no major modifications were needed. Minor modifications to the South Coleman Couplet were proposed in addition to creating backage roads for access along the Dallas North Tollway, upgrading Hayes Road and providing frontage roads along Highway 380 between the Lovers Lane Loop. Finally, roadway sections for Old Town were created. Roadway sections are intended to preserve and enhance the historical elements of Old Town. Economic Analysis A general economic analysis was conducted to determine the Town’s retail needs at build-out and to approximate the financial benefits of the Future Land Use Plan in terms of potential sales and property tax contributions. Findings indicate that retail acreage on the Future Land Use Plan can support the Town’s future needs and accounts for additional market capture due to the Towns major regional corridors. Ad Valorem and Sales Tax estimates, combined with current per capita expenditures, indicate that the Future Land Use Plan is diversified and can potentially permit the Town to provide additional services and amenities in the future. Infrastructure Assessment An evaluation of overall water and wastewater infrastructure within the Town was conducted. Based upon recommendations within the Town’s recently completed water and wastewater master plans, the Town can provide water and wastewater services to accommodate a potential build-out of approximately 69,000 residents. Implementation Plan The Implementation Plan provides objectives related to the six community goals identified within the Community Vision. These objectives are intended to provide direction towards achieving the ultimate vision for the Town. The Implementation Plan also includes an issue prioritization derived from citizen voting during the February 13, 2012 Town Hall meeting. This prioritization is intended guide Town staff and decision-makers as future projects and needs are identified. Differences from 2004 Plan The following are the noticeable changes from the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. • Vision Statement: the 2004 Plan does not include a Vision Statement. • Single Family Densities and Lot Size: The 2004 Plan recommends densities of less than 2.0 dwelling units per acre (DUA) in low density residential areas and between 2.1 and 3.5 DUA in medium density residential areas. The 2004 Plan does not give a recommendation on lot sizes. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan recommends less than 1.6 DUA in low density residential area and between 1.6 and 2.5 DUA in medium density residential areas. The 2012 Plan also recommends lots greater than 15,000 square feet in low density areas and between 12,500 and 20,000 square feet in medium density residential areas. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 158 Item 7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eiii Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan • Multifamily: The 2004 Comprehensive Plan supports 215 acres of multifamily and an estimated 3,425 multifamily units. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan anticipates the Town having approximately 6,248 high density residential units at ultimate capacity. • Artesia Municipal Utility District: The 2004 Plan does not recognize Artesia and recommended medium density residential. The 2012 Plan recognizes Artesia and identifies the area as high density single family. • Ultimate Capacity: The 2004 Plan estimates a build-out population of 89,919 people. The 2012 Plan estimates a build-out population of 69,303 people. • Business Park District: Due to the nature of existing zoning, the 2012 Plan recommends a variety of potential uses, such as light industrial, commercial warehousing, office storage and commercial uses with outside storage. • Removal of Commercial Boulevard and Industrial along US 380: The 2012 Plan shows medium density residential in place of the commercial Boulevard District and the Industrial District has been replaced by the Highway 380 District, which allows for a variety of uses such as big box retail, commercial services, hotels, banks and convenience stores, among others. • Retail Space: The 2004 Plan recommends 1,900,000 square feet of retail space. The 2012 Plan suggests approximately 5.7 million square feet of retail space due to the regional nature of the Town’s commercial corridors. • Downtown Prosper: The 2004 Plan did not provide specific land use or transportation recommendations for Old Town. The 2012 Plan incorporates the 2007 Land Use Plan for Old Town and provides a detailed transportation plan for the area. • Passenger Rail: the 2004 Plan does not mention the possibility of future passenger rail on the BNSF Railroad. Although not desired at this time, the 2012 Plan addresses the possibility of passenger rail in the future but leaves the decision of whether or not passenger rail is appropriate in Prosper to future community leaders. 2012 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 159 Item 7. 1 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT What is a Comprehensive Plan? The comprehensive plan for the Town of Prosper is intended solely as a guide to direct future development decisions made by Town staff, elected officials and all other decision makers. The comprehensive plan tells the story of who the community is and what it wishes to become. This document is intended to serve as a flexible long-range planning tool that guides the growth and physical development of Prosper for ten years, twenty years or an even longer period of time. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range statement of public policy. According to Chapter 213 of the Texas Local Government Code, a comprehensive plan may: • Include but is not limited to provisions on land use, transportation and public facilities; • Consist of a single plan or a coordinated set of plans organized by subject and geographic area; • Be used to coordinate and guide the establishment of development regulations. Legal Authority The right for a community to plan is rooted in the Texas Local Government Code. The following are the specific chapters which directly relate to the Town’s ability to plan. • Chapter 211: Allows the governing body of a community to regulate zoning. • Chapter 212: Allows the governing body of a community to regulate subdivision development within the City and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). • Chapter 213: Allows the governing body of a community to create a comprehensive plan for the long-range development of the community and to address a wide range of issues including land use and transportation. When putting together a puzzle, it is often helpful to know what the ultimate outcome of the puzzle will be. While you would still be able to assemble the puzzle without the vision, knowing your ultimate vision makes assembling the puzzle much easier. The Comprehensive Plan works in this same fashion…it serves as the vision and makes assembling the various pieces of the development puzzle much easier. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 160 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 2 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Planning to Plan The Town of Prosper sits at an exciting and determining point in its history. Decisions made now will have a lasting physical impact on the Town for generations to come. The Town has a significant amount of vacant land, and while many pre-arranged development agreements currently exist, the ultimate objective of this Plan is to set policies and a vision to ultimately guide such developments, ensuring that all development that occurs within Prosper is compatible and fits into the community’s long term vision. This 2012 Comprehensive Plan (Plan) will serve as the compass, or guide for the long-term growth of the Town. The following Plan will include an examination of the following issues: • Future Land Use; • Livability; • Transportation; • Economic Analysis; and • Infrastructure. A comprehensive plan, however visionary, must also be rooted in the present. Therefore, prior to examining the above elements, it will be important and helpful to understand where Prosper is today and what planning efforts have been conducted prior to this Plan. This starting point, or baseline analysis, will allow coordination with previous planning efforts. This examination will be helpful to establish an understanding of Prosper’s population growth, housing characteristics, existing land use, physical constraints and past planning efforts. Over the past several decades, rapid development has defined the northern side of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan Area. The DFW Metro Area is now ranked as the 4th largest metropolitan area in the nation and is expected to nearly double in size by the year 2050. Growth is not a question, but is inevitable. Community planning, a vision accompanied by guiding policies, will help ensure that Prosper develops in an orderly fashion, considering and respecting, among other things, data relating to income, education levels, ethnicity as well as the physical values of the community. Community planning will protect the quality of life which makes Prosper one of DFW’s most livable communities. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 161 Item 7. 3 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Regional Relationship The Town of Prosper is located at the northern edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area, in western Collin County and eastern Denton County. The Town’s immediate neighbors include Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm. The Town of Prosper is currently situated at the northern terminus of the Dallas North Tollway and future expansions will take the Tollway through the Town. The Tollway provides direct access to Downtown Dallas as well as to other major regional highways, such as Highway 121/Sam Rayburn Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike and IH 635/LBJ. Highway 380, traversing the southern border of the Town, provides access to the cities of McKinney and Denton and to Interstate 35 and US 75/Central Expressway.

PLANNING CONTEXT 4 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Population Analysis Examining historical population growth trends helps to tell the story of how Prosper has grown in the past and may give some insight into how Prosper may grow in the future. There are a number of different variables that must be considered when examining population growth trends, but one of the primary factors is location. Communities in rural areas, not adjacent to a major metropolitan area, typically experience very gradual yet steady growth over time. Many rural communities experience very little growth at all, and in some cases experience negative growth, or decline. Communities near metropolitan areas, however, are characterized differently. Typically speaking, communities on the fringe of metropolitan areas began as rural, somewhat isolated communities characterized by slow but steady growth. Eventually, the urbanized/ developed area encroaches on these rural communities causing a period of very rapid and robust growth until the community reaches its carrying capacity, or build-out. At this point, the growth rapidly slows once again. This pattern has characterized growth within the North Dallas region. Garland, Richardson, Plano, Frisco and McKinney are all examples of this type of growth. When examining historical growth patterns for the Town of Prosper, we see that Prosper, too, fits into this type of growth pattern. In 1970, the community contained only 500 residents. Between 1970 and 2000, the community added approximately 1600 residents. Since 2000, however, the Town has added over 7,000 new residents, indicating that Prosper has likely reached the beginning of a period of rapid and robust growth. Although impossible to predict the future housing market, reasonable assumptions seem to indicate that this period of rapid growth over the past 10 years was not an accident, but is indicative of the rapid northern expansion of the DFW Metropolitan Area. Based on this assumption, it is likely that rapid and robust growth will continue to characterize Prosper for the decades to come. 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Year Population Change Growth CAGR* 1970 501 - - 7.6% 1980 675 174 34.7% 1990 1,018 343 50.8% 2000 2,097 1,079 106.0% 2010 9,350 7,253 345.9% *Compound Annual Growth Rate Source: United States Census Population Synopsis From 1970 to 2000, the Town of Prosper experienced relatively fast, but steady, population growth. Since 2000, however, the Town has experienced very rapid and robust growth and reached a population of 9,350 residents according to the 2010 U.S. Census. 2011 NCTCOG Population estimates put the population of Prosper at 10,550 residents. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is a method of analyzing annual average rates of growth. Between 1970 and 2010, Prosper experienced a CAGR of 7.6 percent. Generally speaking, this is a high rate of growth for a community. Since 2000, the CAGR for the community has risen dramatically to 16.1 percent. 2011: 10,550 2010: 9,350 Figure 1: Historic Population Growth EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 163 Item 7. 5 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Regional Growth 2010 U.S. Census numbers provided insight into just how rapidly the State of Texas, and its metropolitan areas, are growing. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area added nearly 1,500,000 people during the 2000-2010 period. Collin County, in particular, has experienced some of the most robust growth over the past several decades. Collin County alone added nearly 200,000 new residents between 2000 and 2010 and is rapidly approaching the 1,000,000 resident mark, a significant milestone considering that only 67,000 residents called Collin County home in 1970. Between 1970 and 2000, Little Elm and Frisco experienced the fastest rates of growth. Since 2000, however, Little Elm and Prosper have experienced the highest rates of growth at 21.7% and 16.2% respectively. Although Frisco experienced the third highest rate of growth between 2000 and 2010, the City experienced the highest numerical increase, adding over 83,000 new residents during the past decade. It is also important to note that Prosper and every one of its neighbors experienced higher rates of growth over the past decade than in the prior years. This indicates that growth within Prosper and its neighbors is increasing.

According to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), the population of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan region is expected to reach 9.8 million by 2035 and 10.5 million by 2040. This would result in the addition of over 3 million new residents over the next 20- 30 years. Source: 2010 Census Figure 2: Regional Growth EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 164 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 6 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Housing Characteristics Household type refers to how the people who live within a household are related, if they do not live alone. Generally speaking, Prosper contains a large number of married-couple households and households with children under the age of 18. Within Prosper, the average household size is 3.4 persons per household (PPH) for single family dwelling units and 2.4 persons per household for multifamily units. The PPH for single family dwelling units is significantly higher than the State average of 2.81 PPH, Frisco at 2.94 PPH, and Celina at 3.10 PPH. Only Little Elm has a larger average household size than Prosper at 3.43 PPH. This data indicates a large number of families call Prosper home. Occupancy rate is an important indicator of the local housing market and housing saturation. A high occupancy rate may indicate an immediate need for additional housing stock to accommodate new population growth. A low occupancy rate may indicate an oversaturation of homes in the housing market. Typically, healthy cities have at least a 90% occupancy rate, something fairly common in the rapidly growing DFW area. Currently, Prosper has a 91.3% occupancy rate for single family dwelling units. This is indicative of a healthy housing saturation. The Town has a 94.5% occupancy rate for multifamily units. This too is a very healthy multifamily saturation rate. 92.8% 94.3% 95.1% 92.6% 91.3% 89% 90% 91% 92% 93% 94% 95% 96% Celina Frisco Little Elm McKinney Prosper Single Family Occupancy Rates 3.1 2.9 3.4 3.0 3.4 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 3 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 Persons per Household (PPH) Household Type Family Households 85.1% Non-Family Households 14.9% Of the total Family Households, 53.1% have children under the age of 18, 75.2% are married couple households, 3% are single parent male households, and 6.9% are single female parent households. 12.1% of the total households in Prosper are householder living alone. Source: 2010 Census Source: 2010 Census EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 165 Item 7. 7 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Existing Land Use The existing land use of the Town of Prosper is predominantly characterized by vacant land. Within the Town boundaries, the majority of land, 80%, is currently vacant. This is a significant portion of land that will drastically impact the overall urban form of the community as it develops. While a majority of undeveloped property in Prosper has already been zoned, there may be opportunities to work with developers to incorporate the identified community vision. Such opportunities should be pursued, particularly as circumstances arise which necessitate zoning adjustments or changes. When excluding vacant land and only examining developed land, the predominant land use in Prosper is single family residential. Parks & Open Space constitutes the second highest land use followed by public/semi-public and commercial. Discussed previously, very little residential variations currently exist. Additionally, only 2% of the developed land use is currently occupied by retail.

PLANNING CONTEXT 8 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Development Patterns The majority of development within Prosper has occurred over the past decade, in conjunction with the rapid increase in population. The vast majority of development has been single family residential, although some retail has been added along Preston Road. Most new residential construction has occurred to the east of Coleman Road and the original town center. Some residential development has begun on the western side of the planning area, with more expected in the near future. A significant number of large-lot homes were constructed in Prosper prior to 2005, coinciding with septic tank requirements that mandate a minimum lot size of 1 acre. As sewer service has been expanded and has become more readily available, lot sizes within new residential areas have become significantly smaller. In 2011, over 80 percent of approved housing permits were on lots under 15,000 square feet in size. In 2011, only 6 building permits were issued to lots at or above one acre in size while 51 permits, approximately 14 percent, were issued on lot sizes under 10,000 square feet. The amount of vacant land within the community is advantageous, because it allows for new development opportunities on undeveloped land, rather than more expensive redevelopment. It will be important to ensure that the thoroughfare plan is coordinated with land use, to ensure that appropriate right-of- way is acquired during the subdivision of land. Additionally, it will be important to ensure connectivity is provided within and between new residential subdivisions, so that upon buildout, a connected street system serves the community. Finally, a significant amount of infill land is available within the community. This land is located between subdivisions and along major roadways. It will be important to insure that development in these areas is compatible with adjacent residential subdivisions. Large-Lot Residential Vacant Land/Infill Small-Lot Residential EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 167 Item 7. 9 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Physical Development Patterns Local development patterns refer to the factors that have influenced the shape and growth of the Town. Understanding such features creates knowledge of how the Town can grow in the future. These patterns are divided into two primary categories: “Natural Constraints” which examine the geographical aspects of Prosper and “Man-Made Constraints,” which examine features which have been constructed or added to the Town. Natural Constraints Natural features influence what type of development can occur and where such development can occur. Topography, soils, vegetation, and wildlife are all factors which can have a direct effect on development within the Town and are all important factors which should be considered during the planning process. The Town of Prosper is located along a major ridge line which runs to the east of Preston Road. Areas to the west of the ridge line drain into Lake Lewisville. Areas to the east of the ridge line drain toward Lake Lavon. Most topographical variations within Prosper are located along the major ridge line, near Preston Road. While a certain degree of topography exists within Prosper, the relative flatness of Prosper and the surrounding area is advantageous for accommodating future development. The two largest floodplain areas are located in the extreme eastern and western portions of the community; Doe Branch Creek in the west and Wilson Creek and Rutherford Branch Creek in the east. The floodplain areas along Doe Branch Creek, Wilson Creek and Rutherford Branch Creek contain the most natural tree cover within the planning area. Doe Branch Creek Wilson Creek Rutherford Branch Creek EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 168 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 10 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Man-Made Features The importance of man-made features, such as transportation facilities, Town boundaries and infrastructure, are significant factors that greatly influence development patterns. The following discussion relates to the significant man-made features which currently exist within Prosper. Preston Road, Highway 380 and the future Dallas North Tollway are the major arterial roadways within the community. As development occurs, Teel Parkway, Legacy Drive, Coit Road, FM 1385/Gee Road and Custer Road will grow in importance and will provide additional north-to-south corridors within the community. Prosper Trail and First Street will serve as major east-to-west corridors within the community. In addition to these roadways, the Dallas North Tollway will serve as a major transportation addition within the community and will increase accessibility within the community, will provide quick access to the regional highway network and will serve as a catalyst in attracting new development. In the State of Texas, the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) refers to the land that an incorporated community may legally annex for the purpose of planning and accommodating future development. The Town has entered into boundary agreements with Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm and has no plans to expand west of FM 1385 at this time. For this reason, the general planning area for the Town is established and well-defined, allowing the Town to concentrate on the annexation of internal properties. The advantage of a defined Town boundary is knowing exactly where Prosper is able to grow. This enables Town staff to more effectively plan for growth, particularly the necessary infrastructure that will be needed to accommodate future growth within the Town boundaries.

The planning context includes a number of different factors including current and past planning efforts, regional initiatives, and external issues that, although may be beyond direct control of the community, have the ability to directly impact growth decisions, primarily the Dallas North Tollway extension. Building upon past planning efforts and considering external factors which impact Prosper’s growth will allow for realistic growth assumptions to be made and will help to insure a cohesive, inclusive and truly comprehensive plan. Planning Efforts 2004 Comprehensive Plan In 2004, The Town adopted a Comprehensive Plan to guide land use decisions within the community for the next 5 to 10 years. This Plan included the development of a future land use and community framework scenario and also examined the thoroughfare system and infrastructure of the community. It is typically recommended that a Comprehensive Plan be updated every 5 to 10 years, depending upon how rapidly the community is growing. Since 2004, Prosper has continued to grow quite rapidly, necessitating the review and update of the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use decisions made during the 2004 Comprehensive Plan will be examined and evaluated to determine if changes are necessary. Various development plans and agreements have been submitted to or approved by the Town. Updating the Future Land Use Plan will re-examine the community’s vision and values. While the majority of land within Prosper is zoned, an updated Future Land Use Plan will provide the framework for discussions and negotiations with developers as changes to zoning occur. 2004 Future Land Use Plan EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 171 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 14 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper 2007 Parks Recreation and Open Space Master Plan In 2007, the Town completed a Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan (Parks Plan) to direct the growth of the Town’s parks and trails as the community grows over the next several decades. The importance of the Parks Plan cannot be understated. Parks provide recreational opportunities for community residents and help to increase the overall quality of life of the community. In the same manner, trails provide recreational opportunities for residents to walk, run or bike throughout the community. Trails provide access to open space, parks, schools, community facilities and help to link various areas of the community to one another. As development occurs, incremental implementation of the Parks Plan will occur. Ensuring that it is updated as changes occur, will help the Town leverage and negotiate with developers as vacant land is developed, ultimately enabling the Town to impose a proportional cost of park development on developers. It will be important that the Parks Plan be consulted by Town decision makers as development proposals are received. While slight deviations may be permitted to accommodate site layouts, the location of parks and trails have been chosen for intentional reasons and therefore the general locations of trails and parks should be adhered to as close as possible. Town Lake Park Frontier Park Parks and Trails Master Plan EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 172 Item 7. 15 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT 2007 Old Town Core District Amendment In 2007, the Town created the Old Town Core District Amendment to guide the land use development of Old Town. This area serves as the historical core of the community and the visible center of Prosper. While other areas of the community are currently more opportunistic for development due to vacant, available land, the core of the community cannot be forgotten. The history of Prosper is rooted within this area. Commercial, retail, office and single-family residential uses were applied within the Old Town area in addition to areas of green space and the school location. The planning efforts conducted by the Town in 2007 will be built upon during the creation of this Plan in order to insure consistency. 2007 Old Town Core District Map Historic Grain Silos, Old Town Prosper EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 173 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 16 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper 2010Thoroughfare Plan The Town of Prosper completed an update to its Thoroughfare Plan in 2010, re-examining issues and redefining the Town’s roadway network. This Plan will build upon previous work efforts and will seek to coordinate land use decisions with previous transportation efforts. Any changes that result from land use decisions will be included as recommendations within this Plan and should be considered as the future Thoroughfare Plan update is made. 2008-2010 Annexation Plan The Town of Prosper has taken a proactive approach towards defining its planning area. Annexation is a tool that communities use to proactively manage growth and ensure that future growth meets the established standards set by the community. This is particularly important due to the number of Municipal Utility Districts (MUD’s) that have developed along Highway 380, in Celina and other areas around the Metroplex. State law requires any community engaging in annexation to have a three year annexation plan. The annexation plan for Prosper was done in three phases: 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2008 phase included 14 properties that were primarily confined to the center and southeastern areas of the community. The 2009 phase included 12 properties on the northwestern and west central areas of the community. Finally, the 2010 phase included 9 properties on the far western side of the community. Annexation phases coincided with a desire by Town Council to annex everything inside the Town’s boundaries defined by boundary agreements with Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm (FM 1385, Frontier/Parvin, Custer and Highway 380). With the exception of the Artesia Municipal Utility District, only a few parcels of land remain to be annexed within the Town’s boundaries. Artesia may be considered for annexation at some point in the future. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 174 Item 7. 17 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Prosper ISD Throughout the planning process, schools have been identified as one of the single most important features of the Town. As the Town continues to grow, it is of prime importance that the exemplary status and reputation of Prosper’s schools be maintained. While the Town and Prosper Independent School District operate as two separate entities, they are inevitably related to each other. Growth in the Town increases the overall tax base and provides revenue for the School District. Additionally, excellent schools enable the Town to continue to attract new residents and new development. The Town and Prosper ISD should therefore be in direct communication, clearly identifying areas of growth and assessing future educational needs. Communication between the Town and PISD will inevitably allow for coordinated infrastructure decisions, such as when new roads allowing access to new schools should be constructed. The Town and Prosper ISD should also coordinate on population growth rates and potential future school locations. Establishing a working relationship between the two entities will benefit the Town, PISD and the residents of Prosper themselves. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 175 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 18 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Regional Initiatives North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) NCTCOG is the metropolitan planning organization that encompasses the 16 county North Texas region. NCTCOG works to promote orderly and balanced growth within the North Texas region. The metropolitan transportation plan created by NCTCOG, known as Mobility 2035, contains a number of different components including arterial roadway networks, freeways, rail transit and a Veloweb Network (regional trail system). Coordination with NCTCOG will help to streamline projects within Prosper, particularly if outside funding is desired or necessary. Typically, funding is awarded to projects which show planning and coordination at multiple levels. Ensuring that future roadway and transportation plans by the Town are coordinated with NCTCOG will help Prosper attract investment from both the public and private sector and will ensure that roadways are better coordinated between adjacent communities. In addition to transportation, there are various grants that are awarded to communities in North Texas by NCTCOG. These grants are used to incentivize regional cooperation without requiring compliance. NCTCOG has established the Center of Development Excellence which provides 12 guiding principles that it recommends communities to consider. Communities in North Texas are encouraged to incorporate these principles, where best applicable, and are awarded grants and additional funding to help communities with some of the initial costs, studies and plans associated with quality planning. . 12 Principles • Development Diversity • Efficient Growth • Pedestrian Design • Housing Choice • Activity Centers • Environmental Stewardship • Quality Places • Efficient Mobility Options • Resource Efficiency • Educational Opportunity • Healthy Communities • Implementation www.developmentexcellence.com EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 176 Item 7. 19 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Community Vision A fundamental component of the comprehensive planning process evolves around the vision of the community. The importance of the vision cannot be overstated—the vision guides land use decisions and allows Town staff and decision makers to determine whether or not decisions are ultimately in conformance with the long term vision for Prosper, as defined by its residents. In other words, the vision is the roadmap that guides decisions within the community and serves as the basis for the Future Land Use Plan and policy recommendations. For this Plan, the visioning process was guided by a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) and included several deliberate exercises. The visioning process included: • Seven CPAC Meetings • CPAC SWOT Analysis • CPAC Visual Character Survey (VCS) • Two Town Hall Meetings • Town Hall Brainstorming Groups • A Public Visual Character Survey on the Town’s website • Public Hearings During Adoption. The following pages contain the who and the what of the visioning process, highlighting the various groups involved, exercises used and preliminary results derived from the visioning process. Every community is distinctive and has its own set of values, aspirations and objectives. The purpose of the visioning section is to determine the ultimate vision of the community based upon resident input. Unique, Distinctive, Exceptional The community vision is used to guide the formation of the comprehensive plan and is ultimately used by decision makers as they weigh the vision with development proposals and future opportunities. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 177 Item 7. 20 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) A committee of community residents and business owners was compiled in order to assist in the development of the Plan. Committee members were selected based upon a variety of criteria including the area of the community where they reside, past or current council experience, economic development knowledge and business ownership. The CPAC’s role in the process was to guide the formation of the Plan document and ensure that the Plan created ultimately reflected the vision desired by Prosper residents. Seven meetings were conducted with the CPAC: • Orientation Meeting on May 2, 2011 • Visioning Meeting on June 6, 2011 • Future Land Use Meeting on September 12, 2011 • Livability Meeting on October 10, 2011 • Economic Analysis, Transportation and Infrastructure Assessment on November 14th, 2011 • Transportation Continued and Plan Review on December 14, 2011 • Town Hall Review and Final Comments on March 19, 2012 All CPAC meetings were conducted at 6:30 p.m. and were open to the public. Community residents and representatives from the development community were present at several meetings. Energized and productive discussions were had at CPAC meetings, representative of the diverse opinions and backgrounds present on the committee. The exchange of ideas with various points of view ensured a thorough process where the realities of external factors affecting Prosper were weighted with the ultimate vision of the Town.

The primary benefit of visioning is that it clarifies how a community will approach its critical planning, development and growth issues. With the clarified approach that visioning provides, the resulting Plan will better address the future of the Town in a manner that is reflective of the community’s interests. The vision statement for a community should describe the community as it will ideally exist in the future. A vision statement spells out goals or values at a high level and promotes what the Town should become. The vision statement for this Plan is as follows: Prosper is a community committed to excellence. It is a high quality, family oriented community maintaining a visually aesthetic open feel with quality commercial development directed to the Town’s major transportation corridors all while maintaining strong fiscal responsibility. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 179 Item 7. 22 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Visual Character Survey A Visual Character Survey (VCS) is a technique in which respondents are asked to score a series of photographs based on what they find to be visually preferable for Prosper. The images used are selected in order to illustrate different aesthetic, architectural, and visual elements within any particular built environment and are used in order to quantify exactly what types of developments are desired and appropriate for Prosper. Although the VCS is not necessarily scientific in nature, it is an effective method of receiving attitudinal, aesthetic-based input. Three VCS surveys were conducted for this Plan. The first survey was conducted with the CPAC at the June 6, 2011 meeting. The second VCS was made available through the Town’s website following the Town Hall meeting. Town Hall attendees were given a passcode in order to take this VCS. The third and final VCS was made available to the general public through the Town’s website and contained no passcode. This survey remained available for approximately 3 weeks. A total of 434 residents participated in the online VCS for the community. The VCS for Prosper was divided into 8 categories: • Dallas North Tollway • Preston Road • Highway 380 • Housing Mix • Street Design • Signage • BNSF • Public Space EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 180 Item 7. 23 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Town Hall #1 A Town Hall meeting was conducted on Monday June 27, 2011. The purpose of the Town Hall meeting was to gather feedback from the public on what the vision for Prosper should be. Over 140 residents from the community attended the event that was held at Prosper High School. Town Hall attendees were first given an introduction to the planning process. During this presentation, an overview of past planning efforts, existing conditions and growth patterns within our region was explained. The presentation concluded by informing residents of the planning process as well as introducing members of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee to attendees. A visioning exercise was conducted with attendees in order to engage the public and gather initial feedback on Prosper’s future. Topic tables were arranged so that each participant in attendance would rotate to each of the following tables: • Land Use/Corridors; • Transportation; • Housing; • Livability; and • Community Identity. At each of the tables, a member of the CPAC, Town staff or consultant guided discussion on each group’s major issues, concerns or ideas. Issues gathered were then compiled and presented to the CPAC to guide discussion on elements within the Plan. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 181 Item 7. 24 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Town Hall #2 On February 13, 2012, a Town Hall meeting was conducted at Prosper High School in order to present the Draft Comprehensive Plan to the public and to gather comments and feedback from the public on plan recommendations. Over 275 attendees were present at the meeting. Attendees participated in round table discussions where individualized feedback on plan recommendations was obtained. Participants were asked whether the Draft Plan accurately described the vision for Prosper, if there were any components of the plan that excited them, if there were components of the plan that concerned them and finally were asked to prioritize a list of issues based upon their personal order of importance. The information collected from Town Hall attendees was then tabulated in order to identify consistent themes and priorities from the public. This information was discussed with the CPAC and necessary clarifications and/or text modifications to the Draft Plan were made. Yes 69% Mostly 25% No 6% Question #1: Does the Plan Accurately Describe the Community’s Vision for Prosper? EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 182 Item 7. 25 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Community Goals Community goals are created to direct the formation of the Plan. They are practical yet general points under which more specific objectives may be located. The goals for the Plan are purposely designed to cover a wide array of individual objectives, but were specifically crafted to address many of the comments, issues, ideas and concerns defined during the visioning portion of the Plan’s creation. The following goals are intended to provide a framework for the creation of applicable and economically feasible land use decisions and special districts. The goals are also intended to establish guidelines for preserving Prosper’s neighborhoods and creating quality new residential areas, maintaining and enhancing Prosper’s quality of life and physical characteristics, providing a safe and attractive transportation network and ultimately ensuring that the Town’s infrastructure systems will be adequate to accommodate 20-year growth. Plan objectives are located within the Implementation Chapter of this Plan. Goal 1: Provide a variety of land uses, in accordance with the vision of Prosper residents, which diversify the tax base and enable all types of people to live, work, shop, eat and relax in Prosper. Goal 2: Maintain and enhance the high quality of life and small-town feel currently available and expected by Prosper residents. Goal 3: Protect the quality and integrity of Prosper’s neighborhoods. Goal 4: Require high-quality and visually attractive architectural characteristics in both residential and non-residential developments. Goal 5: Develop quality, open roadways that enhance the Town’s rural image, are compatible with adjacent development and provide safe and convenient traffic movements. Goal 6: Ensure that water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure systems are able to meet future growth demands. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 183 Item 7. 27 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Future Land Use The right of a municipality to coordinate growth is rooted in its need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of local citizens. An important part of establishing the guidelines for such responsibility is the Future Land Use Plan, which establishes an overall framework for the preferred pattern of development within Prosper. In general, the Future Land Use Plan is intended solely to be a comprehensive blueprint of Prosper’s vision for its future land use pattern. Specifically, the Future Land Use Plan designates various areas within the Town for particular land uses, based principally on the specific land use policies outlined herein. The Future Land Use Plan is graphically depicted for use during the development plan review process with the Future Land Use Plan map. The Future Land Use Plan should ultimately be reflected through the Town’s policy and development decisions. The Future Land Use Plan map is not a zoning map, which deals with specific development requirements on individual parcels. The zoning map and changes in zoning should, however, be based on the Future Land Use Plan and related Future Land Use Plan map. Legal Authority Authority of a community to create a comprehensive plan is rooted in Chapters 211, 212 and 213 of the Texas Local Government Code. Chapter 211 Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the government body of a community to regulate zoning. Chapter 212 Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the governing body of a community to regulate subdivision development within the community limits and also within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) which varies depending upon the population of the community. Chapter 213 Chapter 213 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the governing body of a community to create a comprehensive plan for the “long- range development of the municipality.” Basic recommendations for comprehensive planning are to address land use, transportation and public facilities, but may also include a wide variety of other issues determined by the community. It is important to note that a comprehensive plan is NOT a zoning ordinance, but rather is intended to be used as a tool to guide development, infrastructure and land use decisions in the future. The comprehensive plan does, however, serve as a basis on which zoning decisions are made, as specified by Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Development Code. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 184 Item 7. 28 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Process The Future Land Use Plan was derived through a defined and deliberate process. Existing land uses, development agreements and planned developments were combined with extensive public input in order to create a Future Land Use Plan that is both realistic, attainable and reflects the public’s vision for Prosper’s future. The first consideration was existing land use. Existing land use includes analyzing past development trends and working to ensure that future growth occurring within the community coincides with existing development patterns and does not negatively impact the integrity of existing neighborhoods. An examination of potential planned developments was the second step. This involved an understanding of existing development agreements that are in place within Prosper. Understanding what types of development may occur in the future helps to determine what the adjacent land uses should be. Finally, an extensive public input process was conducted with the general public and the CPAC. The public and CPAC described the characteristics which should define Prosper and identified many of the needs within the community. Additionally, a VCS was conducted with attendees of the CPAC, Town Hall meeting and the general public. A significant number of responses were received and the results of the survey helped to determine the visual aesthetics and development characteristics that were felt to be appropriate within Prosper. The results of this process ultimately concluded in a land use scenario for the Town. This land use scenario is not a mandate, but should be used to guide Town staff and decision makers as development intensifies in the coming years. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 185 Item 7. 29 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Types Residential Low Density This land use is indicative of large-lot single- family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes within any low density development will range between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size. While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the total gross density of low density residential neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s residents. Most low density residential areas will be located in Northwest and Northeast Prosper. Residential Medium Density Medium density residential is also representative of single family detached dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density residential neighborhoods could range between 12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A variation in lot sizes may be permitted to achieve a goal range in density. While a variety of lot sizes may be used within medium density residential neighborhoods, the gross density of such developments will typically not be less than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than 2.5 dwelling units per acre. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 186 Item 7. 30 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Residential High Density High density residential represents the most intense residential land uses permitted in Prosper. High density single family uses will consist of developments greater than 2.5 dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the high-density residential district is reflective of the Artesia development, where single family residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre will be substantially higher than the rest of the community. High density residential may be located within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town Districts. In such areas, high density residential may take the form of multifamily or single family attached dwelling units and may include mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes, snout houses, brownstones and townhomes. Retail and Neighborhood Services Neighborhood services typically include retail establishments that provide merchandise for retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and small medical offices. Retail uses are particularly important because they contribute to Prosper’s tax base through both property and sales taxes, making their inclusion attractive and often times competitive. Within Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely occur at major intersections along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road corridors. Neighborhood service uses should also be strategically placed along the Town’s perimeter in order to attract patrons from neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax revenue opportunities. The majority of neighborhood service activity within Prosper will likely be included within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 187 Item 7. 31 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Dallas North Tollway District The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of the most intense land uses within Prosper. A diverse mixture of office, retail and residential will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted throughout the corridor. Office buildings should be designed for a “campus feel”—they should be oriented towards common public space with significant landscaping and should be linked by a pedestrian network. A common architectural theme should also be established for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use development should be encouraged and should contain a mixture of office, retail and residential uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the most appropriate residential use within this district. Structured parking should be encouraged in more intense areas to limit the presence and visibility of large parking lots. Structured parking should be oriented in a way that minimizes visibility from the Tollway. Highway 380 District Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the Highway 380 district will contain a variety of different uses. The major contrast between Highway 380 and other districts will be the inclusion of a big box development and commercial service uses. Types of appropriate commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle refilling stations with a convenience store, home service centers with outside storage, garden center with outside storage and other similar uses which serve the community but are not necessarily desired on Preston Road or within the Dallas North Tollway corridor. Residential land uses may be appropriate within certain areas, particularly away from major intersections where retail and commercial will be the highest and best land use. Residential land uses may include patio homes, snout houses, townhomes and brownstones. These residential areas may serve as a buffer between more intense activity along Highway 380 and low density residential areas to the north. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 188 Item 7. 32 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Town Center District The Town Center district is a continuation of the area defined by previous planning efforts as a future location for a large scale mixed-use development. The Town Center would include a mixture of land uses but development will be less intense than that located along Highway 380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small scale office, and residential uses would be included within this district, but the primary intent should be focused on dining and shopping. Public space should be a major component of this area, creating space for families and residents of Prosper to meet and socialize. Open space located within the Town Center could be used for community events, festivals and school events. Urban design should accommodate the pedestrian while providing automobile access and discreet parking. Residential uses may include mixed- use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes and brownstones. Areas of single family residential may also be permitted, particularly on the northern side where the development abuts the Old Town district. Old Town District The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper. This historic area of the community is intended to include a variety of boutique type land uses, ranging from unique and local retail establishments, restaurants and offices. Many of the historic homes within the Old Town district, particularly areas along First Street and Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique office and retail establishments. The most opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if desired by future residents, would be within the Old Town district, which could facilitate redevelopment of the downtown area. If this occurs, high density residential options, such as live-above lofts/apartments, may be considered. The historic past of the community should be preserved. The community’s beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin County are part of what defines Prosper, and these attributes should be preserved as new infill development occurs. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 189 Item 7. 33 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Business Park A Business Park district, located to the west of the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and First Street, will include a variety of potential land uses including light industrial, commercial warehousing, office storage and commercial uses with outside storage. While outside storage will likely occur and be necessary within this district, significant effort should be placed on the visual integrity of the district, particularly when located in higher visibility areas. When such uses abut roadways, larger landscape setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be used to protect the visual integrity of roadways and the public view. All outside storage should also be screened from public view and from adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North Tollway provide the Business Park with significant accessibility. Uses located along First Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas should incorporate a higher degree of landscaping and architectural design in order to protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s roadways.

EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 191 Item 7. 37 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Acreages Based upon the Future Land Use Scenario, medium density residential will constitute the largest future land use within Prosper at 35 percent, followed by low density residential at 34%. In terms of non- residential development, the Dallas North Tollway district will be the largest commercial district constituting 9% of the total land use in Prosper, followed by the Highway 380 district at 8%. In total, 73% of the total land in Prosper will be reserved for residential uses with the remaining 27% being a combination of retail, office, commercial and high density residential. Ultimate Capacity The ultimate capacity for Prosper is based on the Future Land Use Scenario. Certain assumptions were made in order to calculate the Ultimate Capacity. For low density residential, lot sizes greater than 15,000 square feet, 1.2 dwelling units per acre was used for our assumptions. For the purpose of estimating ultimate capacity, medium density residential includes lot sizes between 10 and 20,000 square feet in size. For purposes of our assumptions, an average of 2.3 dwelling units per acre was assumed for medium density residential. High density single family residential is indicative of Artesia. Artesia is an existing Municipal Utility District, located in Prosper’s ETJ in Denton County, which has the right to develop 2,170 single family lots and 600 multifamily units. While Artesia is not currently located within the Town of Prosper, it is located in the Town’s planning area and therefore, is included in this Plan. Based upon actual dwelling units and acreage, a high density single family density of 4.8 DUA and multifamily density of 20 DUA was used. Conservative estimates based upon developer agreements, planned developments and Town zoning indicate that over 5,000 more high density dwelling units may be built in Prosper. This number constitutes nearly 30% of the total dwelling units. Figure 4: Future Land Use Acreage EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 192 Item 7. 38 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Based upon the future land use scenario and the previous assumptions, the ultimate capacity for Prosper is approximately 69,300 residents, as delineated in Figure 5 below. Changes in overall development patterns that deviate from the Plan’s recommendations could significantly impact the ultimate capacity of the community.

External factors seem to indicate that growth within Collin County will likely continue in the foreseeable future. Likewise, with the extension of the Dallas North Tollway through Prosper, it is very likely that rapid growth within the Town will also continue. It is often difficult to calculate population projection growth rates for fringe communities, such as Prosper, particularly when such communities are in the beginning stages of their growth and maturity. It is therefore beneficial to examine a wide range of potential growth numbers including the historical growth rates of Prosper, its neighbors and Collin County, as a whole. Six different growth rates were examined. A 7.6% growth rate is indicative of Prosper’s 40 year CAGR, a 10.9% growth rate is indicative of the average 20 year growth of Prosper, its neighbors and Collin County. An 11.8% growth rate is indicative of Prosper’s growth over the past 20 years, a 16.2% growth rate is indicative of Prosper’s growth between 2000 and 2010, and finally an 8.0% growth rate was used representative of the projected compound annual growth rate of Prosper through buildout. 1990-2010 CAGR Average Collin County 5.6% 10.9% Celina 6.4% Frisco 15.8% Little Elm 16.3% McKinney 9.5% Prosper 11.8% Source Percent Growth Texas Water Board 50 Year Projection 4.2 40 Year Prosper Growth Rate 7.6 Projected Growth Rate 8.0 20 Year Regional Average 10.9 20 Year Prosper Growth Rate 11.8 10 Year Prosper Growth Rate 16.2 10 Year Prosper Average 20 Year Prosper Average 20 Year Region Average Projected 8% Growth 40 Year Prosper Average Texas Water Board Regional Population Growth Figure 6: Population Projections EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 194 Item 7. 40 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Community Livability What does the term livability mean with regard to urban planning? Generally, livability reflects the characteristics, aesthetics, design and social aspects of Prosper that make the Town unique and which help to establish a sense of community. There are many intangibles that make a place livable, such as a sense of community, a strong sense of place in particular areas, civic pride and the friendliness of neighbors. There are also tangible aspects that can promote livability as well. Prosper is a unique community with its own values and vision. The following section describes in more detail some of those tangible aspects that, when tailored to fit the needs and vision of Prosper, can help the Town to grow in a manner that enhances the quality of its neighborhoods and helps to create vibrant retail establishments. This section is intended to describe, in more detail, the characteristics of the Future Land Use Plan and is intended to be used to guide decision makers what the public believes the character of Prosper should be as it grows. This section includes a discussion of various land use concepts and how they apply to Prosper, general neighborhood characteristics, housing mix, corridors and image enhancement. It should be noted a significant number of pictures in this section were taken directly from the Visual Character Survey that was made available to the public during August 2011. Livability Guidelines • Preserve small-town, rural feel • Maintain open spaces that create a quiet, open feel • Provide a range of housing in Prosper, taking into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicities. • “Raise the bar” on development/ attract quality development • Attract neighborhood services, such as a grocery store • Build a system of connected parks and trails for outdoor recreation • Clearly brand and identify Prosper through gateways and other identifying features • Provide entertainment venues for families • Create high quality mixed-use centers where residents may shop, dine, socialize and live • Enhance Old Town Prosper EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 195 Item 7. 41 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Concepts Mixed-Use Mixed-use refers to a development style that combines a mix of land uses within one defined zoning district. For example, residential, retail, restaurants, office and public uses may be allowed in the same building, same lot, same tract, block or zoning district. Benefits of mixed-use development include: • Flexibility of building spaces over time; • Long term viability of commercial districts; • Providing higher quality high density residences; • Inclusion of public facilities; • Reduction in the frequency of vehicular trips; and • Minimizing land consumption. Mixed-use developments are defined by their design—building orientation, roadway configuration and amenities such as shade trees, benches and lighting create a safe environment that is conducive for walking. Intentional integration of diverse land uses within one localized area creates a lifestyle option where a person can perform many of their daily needs and recreational desires within a short distance of home. Such environments are particularly attractive to young professionals, young couples and empty nesters. Mixed-uses are typically either horizontal or vertical in nature. Horizontal mixed-uses involve retail, office and residential all located within one defined area, but within separate buildings. Vertical mixed-use developments would include any combination of retail, office and residential within the same building. A common example of vertical mixed-use is residential lofts and apartments above street- level retail and office space. General Guidelines • Reduced Setbacks: bring building facades closer to the street. • Central Gathering Space or Focal Point: Create an identity through public space. • Pedestrian Orientation: Facilitate the pedestrian experience through quality urban design. Ensure access and connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods. • Architecture: moldings, spires, canopies, balconies and building locations all create a sense of identity and contribute to the experience. • Strategic Parking: utilize shared parking, on-street parking, parking behind buildings and structured parking. • Connectivity: mixed use areas should be tied in to adjacent residential development. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 196 Item 7. 42 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER What does mixed-use development look like in Prosper? We asked the community in a public Visual Character Survey. The highest rated mixed-use pictures are shown below. Past planning efforts, including the Town’s previous comprehensive plan, have indicated that the most opportunistic location for a Town Center, a large mixed-use district, would be the area roughly bounded by First Street to the north, Highway 380 to the south, BNSF Railroad to the west and Preston Road to the east. This area is currently identified as a planned development by the Town’s zoning ordinance. Within Prosper, mixed-use areas may be appropriate along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts, as shown below. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 197 Item 7. 43 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Horizontal and Vertical Mixed-Use Development Mixed-use developments that include a range of land uses incorporated within the same building, but typically at different levels, are referred to as vertical mixed-use developments. Common examples of vertical integration include apartments and lofts over ground level retail and office uses. Examples of vertical mixed-use developments are Shops at Legacy in Plano, Watters Creek in Allen and the West Village/State-Thomas areas of Dallas. Vertical mixed-use development was preferred by Prosper residents. Horizontal mixed-use development is representative of a mixture of uses within close proximity to each other, but not necessarily within the same building. Horizontal mixed-use developments typically include residential uses along the periphery of the larger development area, separate from a more intense retail and office core. An example of horizontal mixed- use development is Southlake Town Center. The central area of the Town Center includes retail and office uses with residential townhomes located on the periphery of the development, primarily on the east side. Two factors considered when determining whether vertical or horizontal integration should be utilized are land availability and land value. In more intense areas of development, land values are typically higher and land availability may be significantly less. In such locations, vertical integration, and higher densities (up to 5 stories), would be most appropriate. In Prosper, vertical integration of mixed uses will likely occur within the Dallas North Tollway and Town Center districts. Horizontal mixed-use integration typically occurs where land availability and value can accommodate an overall lower density. Here, 1-3 story retail and office may be surrounded by townhomes, patio homes, multi-unit homes and other less intense uses. In Prosper, horizontal mixed uses will likely occur within the Highway 380 and Town Center districts. Vertical Mixed-Use • Characteristics o Multiple uses within the same building o Live-above lofts and apartments o More urban in nature o 4-5 story height for buildings with residential uses located above the first floor o Structured Parking • Considerations o Consume less land o Land value (density to maximize value) o Higher density (typically more urban ) Horizontal Mixed-Use • Characteristics o Multiple uses within a planned areas, but not necessarily within the same building o 1-3 story heights/lower density nature o Areas of apartments, townhomes, brown stones, patio homes and multi- unit homes around the periphery, buffering low-density neighborhoods. o Structured parking or rear parking/rear entry garages • Considerations o Consume more land o With buffering, may be located near residential areas along HWY 380 EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 198 Item 7. 44 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Transit Oriented Development If transit oriented development becomes a desire in Prosper, it should reflect the Town’s values and should be customized to fit the Town’s built environment. As the Town and DFW region continue to grow, and as the regional transit network becomes more established, transit may become a more viable and desired option for Prosper residents, particularly for commuters. Feedback received from the Town Hall indicates that transit is not desired at the current time. While rail transit may not be an immediate need and may not be realistically achieved for some time, discussion with the CPAC indicated that it may be in the best interest of the Town to identify a potential location for a rail stop and allow future residents to determine whether or not rail will be appropriate if the 19.5 mile line to Celina becomes a reality. If the North Carrolton to Celina Line is constructed, the train will traverse the center of Prosper multiple times daily. If this scenario occurs, it was expressed that rail should be used to benefit the community, particularly as an economic development asset. If the desire for rail connectivity arises in the future, the most appropriate location for a future transit stop, and for transit oriented development, may be in the Old Town district of the community, likely at the intersection of the BNSF railroad and First Street. In addition to an existing rail line, the Old Town district contains the historical past of the Town and therefore presents many opportunities for a mixture of preservation and redevelopment—a theme consistent with what community residents indicated during visioning exercises. A station in Old Town should be architecturally and aesthetically compatible with the development in the Town Center and Old Town districts. As Prosper continues to grow, development and redevelopment of the Old Town area may become more realistic. If transit is deemed appropriate in the future, its location in Old Town may help to bring a unique mix of business, restaurants and offices to the Old Town core. The ultimate decision on whether or not transit is appropriate for Prosper should be left to future residents and future Town Councils to decide. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 199 Item 7. 45 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Context Sensitive Solutions Context sensitive solutions is the practice of developing transportation projects that serve all users and meet the needs of the neighborhoods through which they pass. It is a collaborative process that involves Town staff, property owners, developers and business owners in development of street designs that fit into the character of surrounding neighborhoods while maintaining safety and mobility. The key is that elements of the street should complement the context of surrounding or adjacent development in order to generate a “roadway experience” and therefore the roadway may take on certain characteristics to support and be compatible with adjacent development. The process of designing CSS roadways is similar to the process of designing traditional thoroughfares in that automobile traffic is considered with traffic counts, traffic demand and level of service information-gathering efforts. The difference is that in addition to automobile traffic, other elements, such as pedestrian traffic, building form and land use, are also carefully considered. The CSS approach recommends designing thoroughfares based upon: • Community objectives • Functional classes • Thoroughfare types • Adjacent land use • Environmental considerations In order to design accordingly, decision makers must understand the key relationship between transportation and land use, particularly the flexibility that may be needed in roadway design in order to accommodate a thoroughfare to changing urban form within the community. Understanding key community objectives for land use within the community is also important in order to ensure that public infrastructure investments are in line with ultimate land use objectives. A roadway may traverse a wide range of land uses. It is important to design the roadway considering its role and impact in each particular area. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 200 Item 7. 46 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Coleman Road is a prime example of an application of context sensitive solutions in Prosper. Coleman Road will transition as it traverses the community. The southern portion of Coleman Road will traverse the Town Center. In this area, it must consider the more intense development that will likely be located within the Town Center and its focus will be primarily placed on moving traffic and safely accommodating the pedestrian. As the roadway moves into the Old Town district, it must respect the character of Old Town. The roadway will likely narrow and head-in and parallel parking will likely be utilized. Other pedestrian amenities, such as bulb outs, street trees and enhanced sidewalks may be considered. As Coleman Road continues to the north of Old Town, it will transition into a residential thoroughfare with more lanes added and on-street parking removed. Context Sensitive Principles • Satisfies purpose and needs as agreed to by a full range of stakeholders • Safe facility for user and community • Project in harmony with community, preserves natural, aesthetic, historic and natural resource values of the area • Project exceeds the expectations of designers and stakeholders— achieves a level of excellence. • Project involves efficient and effective use of resources • Designed and built with minimal disruption to community • Project seen to have lasting value to the community An ITE Recommended Practice: Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities (2006) Safe and attractive roadways for pedestrians and traffic in retail areas On-street parking in historic areas or high pedestrian areas Transition into residential areas EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 201 Item 7. 47 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Building Orientation Building orientation has the ability to significantly affect the appearance of the community. Over the past several decades, strip shopping centers have been defined by large setbacks and with parking areas located between the building and the roadway. With this type of design, much of the visual identity of the corridor is placed on the parking lots and vehicles, rather than on the architecture and identity of the community and the buildings themselves. During visioning exercises, many Prosper residents indicated that high quality non- residential development should be a priority in Prosper and that the “cookie-cutter” strip centers that define many suburban neighborhoods should be discouraged within Prosper. Building orientation is a way to ensure that high-quality retail and commercial centers are developed within Prosper. Retail centers should be clustered together, when possible, creating nodes of activity rather than strips of activity. Neighborhood retail centers will most likely be located at major intersections within Prosper. Clustering of buildings into nodes of activity can often help to define outdoor spaces such as plazas and courtyards and the strategic orientation of buildings can also minimize circulation conflicts. An additional design which may be considered is the placement of parking areas behind buildings rather than along the roadway frontage. The visual experience is then focused upon the landscaping and architectural design of the building, rather than on a large parking lot located in the front. Parking Lot Frontage and Building Frontage Strip Center Retail and Nodal Retail EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 202 Item 7. 48 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Livable Neighborhoods Life-Cycle Housing Connectivity Identity Recreational Access Quality Development Neighborhood Conveniences Open Space Neighborhood Signage Encourage a variety of housing types and sizes to accommodate different stages of life within Prosper. Ensure a range of housing that takes into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels, and ethnicity Encourage connected neighborhoods which emphasize both internal and external connectivity. Neighborhoods should be linked to each other as well as to the community as a whole. Encourage neighborhood events, such as National Night Out, block parties and other neighborhood events to promote social interaction among neighbors and to foster a sense of community. Incorporate the Parks Master Plan in order to create outdoor recreational opportunities for both neighborhoods and the community, enhancing the quality of life of Prosper. Continue to encourage the creation of custom homes, a definitive feature of Prosper, through anti-monotony standards and by requiring quality building materials that reduce maintenance and preserve long-term appearance. Incorporate neighborhood retail centers in strategic locations which optimize convenience for adjacent neighborhoods. Offer walkable connections to adjacent neighborhood as well as automobile connections and discreet parking. In addition to parks and trails, neighborhoods should include open space in order to preserve the rural nature of Prosper. Delineate different neighborhoods through entrance features and signage toppers. Livable neighborhoods, regardless of what type of environment, have some common characteristics. The following is a discussion of some of these common characteristics as well as strategies to ensure that neighborhoods are protected, preserved and enhanced as development continues to occur within the Town. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 203 Item 7. 49 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Long Term Neighborhood Viability Neighborhoods are often defined in more abstract terms by the sense of “community” and the quality of life enjoyed by the people who live and play there. Well-designed neighborhoods provide a setting for residents to develop a strong sense of belonging, which is promoted by their interactions. The quality and livability of the Town’s neighborhoods are integral components of the overall character. The key to a successful neighborhood is creating a livable and affordable environment where the ongoing investment in property is supported by public investment in parks and greenbelt areas; opportunities for social interaction; accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles; and distinctive characteristics which give an area a unique identity. Prosper neighborhoods may be quantified in terms of the following characteristics: • Opportunities for neighborhood interaction; • Careful and strategic placement of retail uses and other appropriate non- residential uses within access of the neighborhood area; • Continued investment in public and private property to stabilize property values; • Condition of public facilities and infrastructure serving the area; • A sense of “community” and belonging among residents through distinctive neighborhood identities; • Access to amenities such as parks, open spaces, public facilities and trails; and • Incorporating open spaces within neighborhoods as a definitive feature of Prosper. The majority of Prosper’s housing stock is relatively new and in good physical condition. Ensuring that the preceding principles are used to guide new development will protect the long term viability and continued investment in Prosper’s neighborhoods in the future. The following is feedback received from Prosper Residents during the Public Meeting regarding its neighborhoods: • Open space/tree preservation • Neighborhood services • Sidewalks • Bicycle/Jogging Trails • Minimal Street lighting • Sound barriers/buffers on high- traffic corridors • “Chic Country” community • Space for community/ neighborhood festivals and events • Entertainment for families EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 204 Item 7. 50 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Housing Mix It is important for communities to provide a variety of housing for its citizens and to meet the needs of different segments of the population. The “full-life cycle” is intended to describe all stages of life. Housing Mix-Alternative Housing Options Generally speaking, most of Prosper’s housing options are, and will continue to be, single family homes. Prosper residents have indicated that other housing types are appropriate within the community but that such units should primarily be confined within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts. Many housing options in these districts take place on smaller lots, such as in the case of townhomes, brownstones, patio homes, and zero lot line homes. Design approaches for these types of homes tend to favor rear entry garages for two primary reasons; aesthetics and drainage. Rear-entry garages on developments with lot sizes less than 50 feet in width help to protect the visual integrity of the streetscape by reducing the visibility of closely situated garages and driveways. This is particularly important when looking at townhomes, brownstones, zero-lot line homes and patio homes which are either attached or closely situated to one another. Rear entry garages allow more landscaping opportunities and create a more walkable environment in such areas by reducing the frequency of individual driveways. In addition to aesthetics, rear-entry garages may also aid with drainage. Determining where water that collects in ones backyard should drain is often a contested issue. Having rear- entry garages or a small rear yard/rear patio feature can be a design advantage to this effect. While rear-entry garages should be considered for the densest forms of residential housing options, it is likely that front-entry garages will continue in the majority of Prosper’s lower density neighborhoods. Rear-Entry Townhome Front-Entry Townhome EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 205 Item 7. 51 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Transitional Uses, Screening and Buffering The Future Land Use Plan seeks to minimize conflict between residential and nonresidential areas, but screening and buffering efforts can help to mitigate any remaining incompatibility between land uses. The Town should consider reviewing the existing screening and buffering requirements between residential and nonresidential developments. There are several options to alleviate the conflict: require transitional uses, screening, and/or buffering. Larger setbacks, such as a 40 foot setback, may be utilized to protect the public view and create a more rural feel. Within such setbacks, extensive landscaping, such as berms, double rows of large trees and solid living evergreen screens may be used. Examples of “living screens” were rated favorably in the Visual Character Survey and include the types of screening mentioned above, typically on setbacks greater than 25 feet. When landscape berms are used, consideration for maintenance should be a priority. Typically speaking a 1:3 slope should be used for landscape berms to ensure proper maintenance. So, for example, a 25’ setback would allow a 4’ berm; a 30‘setback would allow a 5’ berm; and a 40’ setback would allow a 6’ berm. If a screening wall is used, the wall should be constructed entirely of brick, masonry, or other like material consistent with the exterior finish of the primary structure. It should also be at least 6 feet in height. Wood is a high maintenance material and therefore is not recommended for screening walls. Construction of such a wall would typically be a responsibility of the nonresidential land use developer. If a retaining wall is located on the property line, the screening wall should be located on top of the retaining wall to maximize visual screening. In addition to screening residential areas from non- residential areas, screening and buffering techniques should also be used to protect the visual realm from unwanted eyesores such as: o Trash receptacles o Utility Boxes o Commercial loading docks o Expansive parking lots A variety of screening uses may be utilized including masonry or brick walls, shrubs, trees and landscape berms, among others. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 206 Item 7. 52 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Open Space Preservation A common theme expressed by CPAC members and Town Hall attendees was the need to preserve open space within Prosper. Many residents have chosen to live in Prosper due to its quiet, rural feel and abundant open spaces. Prosper is located along a prime development corridor and therefore significant pressure will be placed on land owners to sell property and existing open spaces for development in the future. Therefore, in order to preserve open space within the community, Prosper may consider the following options. Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) is a program that enables the community, or a land trust, to purchase the development rights from a landowner. Essentially, the municipality or trust would purchase the difference between the appraised and market value (what a developer would pay for purchase of the property) in exchange for the landowner not developing the land. The landowner can continue to use the land as farmland or open space. Once an agreement is reached, the land may not be subdivided or developed. In the future, the property owner may sell the land at the appraised value, but the restrictions on development remain. One advantage to PDR is the preservation of open space and the continued ownership of land by the property owner. The disadvantage is such land remains under the control of the landowner, even after development rights have been purchased, and therefore is not public space. Only the development rights have been purchased, not the land itself. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) While not commonly used in Texas, TDR is a way of transferring development rights from a transfer area, or open space, to a receiving area (area approved for development). If, for example, the tollway district was identified as a receiving zone, a developer that was seeking development greater than the approved density for that district could purchase the development rights from an area containing open space and transfer that right to develop to his/her property along the tollway. The developer is therefore able to build at a higher density and open space is able to be preserved elsewhere. This increased density option would only be allowed in areas identified as receiving zones, not within individual neighborhoods. Conservation Easements are another method of preserving open space. Conservation easements are initiated by the land owner in an attempt to protect their property from future development. In its publication Conservation Easements: A Guide for Texas Landowners, The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department outlines many of the advantages of conservation easements, including tax benefits. Typically, a property owner voluntarily creates an agreement with a municipality or county that limits development on the landowner’s property. In a conservation easement, the landowner will limit their right to one or more of the following: right to manage resources, change use, subdivide or develop. Conservation easements ensure that a farm, ranch, estate or open space area is preserved from development pressures in the future. The advantage to conservation easements is that land is preserved indefinitely and such easements may be sold or donated to land trusts for significant tax credits. The disadvantage is that the landowner receives no monetary reimbursement for not developing, such as in the purchase of development rights scenario, other than tax credits. Parks Plan The Town of Prosper currently has a park dedication ordinance that requires 1 acre of park dedication for every 35 units or 5% of total land. The system of parks and trails established by the 2007 Parks Master Plan is the most significant way open space can be preserved within Prosper. Park land dedication should be guided by the adopted Parks Plan. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 207 Item 7. 53 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Social Interaction The term community naturally implies the congregation and interaction of people. Residents identified that one of the defining features of Prosper were its residents and the sense of community that exists within the Town. As the Town continues to grow, a sense of community will continue to be an important characteristic of the Town. With a larger population, the built environment will need to provide spaces and opportunities for residents to meet, congregate, interact and enjoy life. Creating such venues will help foster a sense of community among residents and will create family environments where interaction begets new friendships. An amphitheater was seen as a potential opportunity to host Town events. This Amphitheater, when combined with a larger open space/park area, could serve as a central location for Town festivals and events. In addition to a community garden, many communities in North Texas have begun to offer farmers markets, encouraging local growers to bring in fresh produce for residents to purchase. The number of farmers markets has increased 17% from 2010 to 2011, with the second largest growth occurring in Texas at 38% (US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Marketing Service news release, Aug 5, 2011). Farmers markets and community gardens can also be beneficial in supporting the local economy and encouraging social interaction. The creation of the Town Center and other mixed uses will also help to create additional places for Prosper residents to interact and socialize with other families by creating opportunities for retail shopping and dining. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 208 Item 7. 54 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Corridors and Districts Preston Road A major component of the visioning exercises pertained to the three major corridors in Prosper: Preston Road, Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. The following discussions on each corridor are a result of the visioning exercises and feedback received from the comprehensive plan advisory committee and the general public. Land Use Preston Road was described by numerous residents as “our road.” Traversing the center of the community, Preston Road will have a variety of land uses and will have a varying context. In the southern portion of Prosper, Preston Road will accommodate higher degrees of traffic, particularly as it traverses the Town Center. Retail, office and some medium density residential will be located along Preston Road on the southern end of the Town, gradually becoming more residential in nature as it moves north. Small scale office and retail may be located in certain areas along Preston Road and these should be the types of uses which service adjacent neighborhoods. Big box uses, mid-rise development, and more intense land uses were generally not viewed as favorable as small-scale retail and office uses. Residents identified an upscale grocery store, such as a Central Market or a Whole Foods, as one of their top priorities along Preston Road. Character The character of Preston Road should be more rural in nature, respecting the small-town character of the community. Large, heavily landscaped setbacks should be prevalent along the roadway helping to differentiate Prosper from Frisco while also providing a natural sense of calm for Prosper residents. Wide setbacks are particularly important as the roadway traverses residential areas generally north of First Street. Areas of retail should be designed to the highest level of quality and architectural characteristics within individual developments should follow a theme consistent with recently completed development. Residents felt that retail areas should be organized in a nodal nature rather than in a strip center fashion in order to prevent the entire roadway frontage from being consumed by retail. Unanchored, stand- alone retail establishments should be discouraged in favor of a nodal shopping center development. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 209 Item 7. 55 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Dallas North Tollway Land Use Unlike Preston Road, regional development pressures will likely be placed along the Dallas North Tollway. Feedback received from the public indicated that more intense uses would be appropriate along the corridor. Types of uses that scored relatively well included mid-rise office buildings, mixed-use development and corporate office parks, among others. Generally speaking, the DNT corridor will contain land uses that support a more regional context and will likely include office space, retail uses and business parks. High density residential is appropriate within the DNT corridor. Mixed-use lofts/apartments are the preferred style of high density residential within this district. Images depicting big box retail, auto sales centers and commercial services, such as self-storage facilities, scored the lowest along the Dallas North Tollway. Character The character of the Dallas North Tollway will be significantly more intense than the rest of the Town. The most intense development will be located in the southern portion of the corridor, primary around the interchange of the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. Development in the Northeast corner of this intersection will likely be a continuation of the Town Center district, much in the same way office uses surround Legacy Town Center in Plano. Areas on the Northwest corner of the interchange are currently identified as mixed-use. A mixture of office, retail and medium to high density residential will likely develop within this area. Floodplain on the north side of the Northwest corner will serve as a buffer between the more intense development and the low density residential neighborhoods to the north. Intensity of development should gradually decrease on the north side of the Dallas North Tollway corridor and backage roads will help to facilitate the creation of pad sites that may buffer the Tollway from residential uses. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 210 Item 7. 56 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Highway 380 Land Use Of the three major corridors, Highway 380 contains the longest stretch of potential development. Generally speaking, land uses along the Highway 380 Corridor were seen to be more commercial in nature. Unlike Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway, big-box retail scored relatively well along Highway 380, in addition to office, hotel uses, retail centers and service uses, such as a gas station and fast food restaurant. Similar to the other categories, industrial uses, including warehouses, were not seen as a highly appropriate use along the Highway 380 corridor. Due to the length of the corridor, a variety of land uses will be located along the corridor. Typically speaking, retail and service establishments will locate adjacent to Highway 380 and along major intersections, in a nodal pattern of activity. Such uses capitalize on higher traffic counts and require a higher degree of visibility. Big box uses may also be located along the corridor, but pad sites should be located adjacent to Highway 380 to capitalize on visibility and pass-by trips. Residential uses, such as patio homes, snout homes and townhomes and brownstones may be located within this district. Such uses will likely be used as a buffer between more intense uses along Highway 380 and lower intensity residential neighborhoods to the north. Such uses may also be located mid-block, reserving major intersections for retail and commercial uses. Character The character of Highway 380 will be much more commercial in nature. Wide setbacks with large landscape buffering will protect the visual appearance of the corridor, while still allowing more intense commercial land uses to operate. Big Box retailers may be permitted, but they should be designed to the highest possible quality, incorporating significant landscaping, high quality materials, such as stone and brick, and should contain architectural enhancements and building articulation. Medium and high density residential options may be included within the Highway 380 corridor but such uses should be carefully designed to protect, enhance and buffer low density neighborhoods to the north from more intense development along Highway 380. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 211 Item 7. 57 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Old Town The Old Town area of Prosper is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the community. As the Town continues to experience rapid growth, it is this core and center than can serve as an identifying feature of the Town and can also serve to showcase Prosper’s humble beginnings. Many communities in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area have used their downtowns as an identifying feature. Prosper residents have identified the significance of the downtown area and have indicated its potential role in the future of the community. Coleman Road serves as a divider between residential uses to the east and non-residential uses to the west. The western side of Coleman will be the primary area of focus for redevelopment and infill. The Old Town district indicates that commercial, office, retail and single family uses will be permitted within the district. It is anticipated that many single family dwelling units along First Street and Broadway will gradually convert to boutique retail and cottage office uses, requiring flexibility in land use decisions as these areas transition over time. Coleman, Broadway and First Street will serve as the primary corridors within the downtown area. Special attention to context sensitivity should be given to these roadways as they move from newer areas into the downtown. Parallel and head-in parking will likely be included along with pedestrian walkways and streetscape enhancements. If a transit station is built at First Street and the BNSF railroad, higher density residential options should be permitted near the station. Currently, only studio apartments are permitted within the Old Town district. High density residential options, such as vertical mixed-use development, townhomes and brownstones should be considered within close proximity of the transit station. Locating high-density residential within 1/4 mile of the transit station will help ensure long term viability and effectiveness of transit and will ensure that Prosper’s transit station is more than simply a “park-and-ride.” All future development should be consistent in theme, possibly emphasizing an “old downtown” feel consistent with Texas downtowns at the turn of the 20th century. Lewisville, McKinney and Plano are examples of successful downtown rehabilitation projects which project such an image. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 212 Item 7. Old Town Transportation Plan Section A: Four lane divided roadway with a landscaped median and a landscaped parkway separating pedestrians from traffic. This section serves as a major entrance into Old Town from the east. No on-street parking. Section B: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. Wide travel lanes allow for bicycle accommodation and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. No on-street parking. Section C: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking is permitted and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. Section D: Two lane undivided urban roadway. Wide 20’ sidewalks accommodate patio seating, pedestrian traffic and street trees. On-street angled parking is permitted and bulb-outs are located at intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility at crosswalks. Section E: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and an immediately adjacent 8’ sidewalk. A large private setback of 25’ is included. Section F: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and a 15’ sidewalk. 10’ of the sidewalk will be located within the right-of-way and the additional 5 feet will be a 5’ setback to building face. Section G: Two lane divided roadway with a center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking and a 10’ sidewalk are included. Land Use The predominant land use within Old Town will be single-family residential. All infill development within such areas should conform to the architectural guidelines established for the Old Town district. Such guidelines are created to protect the continuity of look and feel within Old Town. Along Broadway and First Street, single-family uses will gradually transition to boutique, cottage-style office and/or specialty retail uses. Broadway west of Coleman, will be the retail core of the downtown. Shops, restaurants, and small office uses may be located within the main street retail area. This area is intended to be the heart and main activity center of the Old Town Area. As redevelopment occurs, building frontages should be brought to the property line to be consistent with ultimate streetscape improvements. Adjacent to the retail core, a mixed-use district incorporating mixed use lofts/apartments will serve as a buffer between the Business Park and the core of Old Town. This area will also provide rooftops that service adjacent retail establishments. The Green space area will serve as a community park and its location adjacent to the retail core of Old Town and the mixed-use district will make it an opportunistic and useable open space area. Niche retail is recommended along Preston Road and at the northern end of Coleman. Retail development within these areas should fit within the architectural framework of the Old Town area. Setbacks should be reduced, when possible, along Coleman and Broadway to frame the roadways. MSR EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 213 Item 7. 61 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Image Enhancement Prosper is a unique community. Many who have moved to the Town express their diverse reasons for relocating to Prosper. Reasons include its excellent school system, its wide open spaces, its large lot homes, its friendly neighbors and rural setting with access to the Town, among others. This section seeks to define some of those attributes and using these attributes to establish a recognizable image for the community’s built environment. Branding Community branding is the concept of establishing an identity and then working to ensure that the desired identity is reflected and portrayed in the built environment. In Prosper, residents have clearly identified that the rural, open spaces of the community are a defining feature of Prosper, particularly defining when compared with other North Dallas suburbs such as Frisco, Plano, McKinney and Little Elm. Residents identified that a common perception and image of Prosper to outsiders is an upscale, rural community with open spaces and large-lot homes. Despite the current availability of open spaces and agricultural land, the Town will continue to grow and develop. As the community grows, however, development standards may reflect certain architectural characteristics that may be unique to Prosper, helping to visually distinguish the Town from adjacent communities, particularly its retail centers. Additionally, setbacks and landscaping may be used along major corridors to create a more rural atmosphere, even as the Town develops. Large setbacks and medians may be heavily landscaped with trees, shrubs and other natural elements. As trees grow and mature, the presence of a dense tree canopy will help to create a more natural feel within the community. Additionally, the Town may reduce the amount of internal lighting to mitigate light pollution and enhance dark skies, further enhancing the rural feel. The Town’s extensive Parks Plan, as it is implemented, will also significantly help to create and preserve open spaces and will contribute significantly to the Town’s quality of life by providing outdoor recreational opportunities. As development occurs, all new development should not only meet the development standards of the community, but should also be analyzed based upon how they will contribute to the image and branding of the community based upon Prosper’s vision, goals and values. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 214 Item 7. 62 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Gateways The visual monotony that is often inherent to communities within a particular geographic area makes it appear that each one is just like its neighbors. For example, the visual appearance of a community to a traveler along the Dallas North Tollway may be very similar to the appearance of any other nearby community. This lack of design variety, especially along major corridors, tends to create anonymity, and it becomes difficult for people to know when they have left one community and entered another. Gateways can provide a strong sense of arrival to, as well as a sense of departure from, the community. These features are the first thing visitors see when they arrive and the last impression visitors have when they leave. The design of gateways into the Town of Prosper should be guided by several factors. One of the most obvious factors is the number of people using a particular entry point. The most heavily traveled the roadway entering the community will be the Dallas North Tollway. Although it may be difficult to create an aesthetically-pleasing gateway visible from the highway, the bridges and the frontage roads are alternate options. Improved overpasses with decorative rails, landscaping, lighting, and possibly signage are possibilities. In addition, two entry features for the Town placed directly along the Dallas North Tollway frontage roads, both leading into and out of the community (i.e., at the northern and southern corporate limits) would be a positive step in creating a visual identity once the Tollway is constructed. Gateways could include the use of signage, landscaping, and other design elements such as lighting, fencing, paving patterns, art/sculptural elements, a variety of earth forms, or other identifier that signifies arrival into the Town. Another important factor in the design of gateways is to develop an entryway that provides a sense of identity for the community while projecting a desirable image for the Town. For example, the windmill is a component of the Prosper logo and may be used as a component of Town gateways, if so desired by the community. The windmill feature is a strong representation of who Prosper is –it identifies the Town’s humble beginnings as a small agrarian town and also highlights and reflects many of the Town’s values such as large lots, open spaces and rural, small town feel. Consideration should be given to establishing a uniform design concept for all gateway areas, and hierarchical distinction between major and minor gateways can be achieved through design modification for each type of entry feature. Minor gateways could be specific to the individual neighborhood, reflecting the distinct character of each area. Design of entry features should take into consideration the setting in which each feature will be placed. Although an entry feature might ideally be placed at the corner of a roadway intersection which is at, or near, the true Town limits, the design of the feature might conflict either visually or aesthetically with an adjacent retail use at the intersection. In such a situation, it may be prudent to move the entry feature further into the community to provide a better setting and better visibility, such as placing it upon the thoroughfare median, if there is one. The traffic speed at which an entry feature is viewed must also be taken into account, and the size, boldness and scale of the feature should be designed accordingly. It is important for the Town of Prosper to assert its differing qualities to distinguish itself from the surrounding communities. Gateway features are a simple first step in this direction. Priority for funding entry features, both in terms of total dollars spent per entry and in terms of the timing of expenditures, should be directly related to the number of people using a particular entry point. Often, donations can be solicited from civic groups to assist in the funding of specific gateways and/or their maintenance (e.g., an "adopt a gateway" program). EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 215 Item 7. 63 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Gateway size and design should consider traffic, traffic speeds land use context. In Prosper, primary gateways will be located along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Preston Road and the “corners” along the Town’s perimeters. Secondary gateways may be located along Coit, Legacy, Teel, Lovers Lane, Gee and other minor entrances into Prosper. Gateways take a wide variety of shapes, sizes and forms. They may be very large, such as the Frisco gateway at SH 121 and the Dallas North Tollway, or they may be small. Some logos include the community logo, others incorporate art or design that is reflective of the community’s values and history. Prosper may desire to use the windmill as a design element within its future gateways. The windmill is a symbol that is reflective of the Town’s history and past and is currently a component of the Town’s logo. The design of the Town’s gateways should be consistent in theme and should help to identify Prosper to visitors as well as welcome residents home. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 216 Item 7. 64 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Maintaining compatibility between the Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Plan Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Government Code states that “zoning regulations must be adopted in accordance with a comprehensive plan.” Consequently, a zoning map and zoning decisions should reflect the Future Land Use Plan to the fullest extent possible. Therefore, approval of development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan will often result in inconsistency between the Future Land Use Plan and the zoning regulations. At times, the Town will likely encounter development proposals that do not directly reflect the purpose and intent of the land use pattern as shown on the Future Land Use Plan map. Review of such development proposals should include the following considerations: • Will the proposed change enhance the site and the surrounding area? • Is the proposed change a better use than that originally envisioned and depicted on the Future Land Use Plan map? • Will the proposed use impact adjacent residential areas in a negative manner? • Will the proposed use be compatible with and/or enhance adjacent residential uses? • Are uses adjacent to the proposed use similar in nature in terms of appearance, hours of operation, and other general aspects of compatibility? • Does the proposed use present a significant benefit to the public health, safety, welfare and/or social well-being of the community? • Would it contribute to the Town’s long- term economic stability? Development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan map (or that do not meet its general intent) should be reviewed based upon the above questions and should be evaluated on their own merit. It should be incumbent upon the applicant making such a proposal to provide evidence that the proposal meets the aforementioned considerations, supports community goals and objectives as set forth within this Plan, and represents long term economic and/or social benefits for the community as a whole, not just a short-term financial gain for whoever is developing the project. It is important to recognize that proposals not directly consistent with the Plan could reflect higher and better long-term uses than those originally envisioned and shown on the Future Land Use Plan map for a particular area. This may be due to changing markets, demographics and/or economic trends that occur at some point in the future after the Plan is adopted. If such changes occur, and especially if there are demonstrated significant social and/or economic benefits to the Town of Prosper, then these proposals should be approved and the Future Land Use Plan map should be amended accordingly. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 217 Item 7. 65 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTATION PLAN The thoroughfare system forms one of the most visible and permanent elements of a community. It establishes the framework for community growth and development and, along with the Future Land Use Plan, forms a long- range statement of public policy. As the alignment and right-of-way of major transportation facilities are established and adjacent property developed, it is difficult to facilitate system changes without significant financial impacts. However, by incorporating programmed land uses and densities of the Future Land Use Plan, strategies can be developed that maximize the land use/transportation relationship. Several key principles were recognized in the preparation of Plan recommendations and included the following: • Prosper should have safe and convenient internal circulation between neighborhoods, core community assets, and special areas. • Transportation facilities should define rather than split residential areas in order to preserve neighborhood integrity. Through traffic should be routed to specific facilities designed to accommodate non-local and regional traffic. • A sidewalk and trail system connecting Prosper’s amenities and parks with neighborhoods should be available. • Key corridors and gateways should include enhanced landscaping to promote image/identity. • Monitor regional growth implications in order to proactively address mobility and accessibility issues to/from the Town. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 218 Item 7. 66 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Planning Context 2010 Thoroughfare Plan Updated in July 2010, the Prosper Thoroughfare Plan established a traditional grid network of streets with connectivity of major roadways to key streets in adjacent communities. Key to this plan is the identification of strategic corridors for accommodating local and long-term regional travel demand. As regional growth is rapidly moving northward through Collin County, several key roadway facilities have been identified for accommodating future cross-town movement while others are aimed at accommodating localized traffic. Key north-south and east-west roadways (up to six-lane) include Dallas North Tollway (DNT), Preston Road (SH 289), Custer, Coit, Legacy, Teel, FM1385/Gee Road, Highway 380 and FM 1464 Frontier Parkway/Parvin Road. Several other east-west roadways are aimed at accommodating localized traffic on smaller sized streets (up to four-lane divided) and include Prosper Trail, First Street/Fishtrap, and Lovers Lane. The Plan also established special roadway considerations for Old Town, Town Center area, backage roads along DNT and portions of Highway 380. The roadway network established in the 2010 Thoroughfare Plan is a departure from the “modified hub and spoke” concept established as part of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. That concept was aimed at localizing traffic from within the community to desired hubs of development situated within the Town. While not dissimilar in nature to the grid network, the plan also included an internal loop road, couplet streets and connection points for development support along DNT. Other Planning Initiatives NCTCOG Planning The Regional Thoroughfare Plan (RTP) and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) are both important to consider when making decisions locally. Coordination of planning efforts may help accelerate funding sources and ultimately help to ensure that roadways at a regional level are functional and compatible. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is responsible for creating both the RTP and the MTP—both are directly related to the ability of the region to compete nationally for federal transportation funds. It is important that the Town monitor both the RTP and the MTP and communicate any changes in order to ensure that plans within Prosper are understood by other agencies and reflected accordingly. 2010 Prosper Thoroughfare Plan EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 219 Item 7. 67 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Collin County Transportation Plan In 1999, Collin County adopted the first Transportation Mobility Plan aimed at coordinating regional roadway improvements among the various municipalities and agencies to address long-term County growth needs and capital improvements planning. Subsequently updated in 2003 and 2007, Collin County is currently in the process of initiating the next generational update slated for 2012. Within the Town, the 2007 County Plan contains some differences relative to the Prosper Thoroughfare Plan including: • Prosper Trail as a six-lane divided (Plan has four lanes); • First Street as a six-lane divided (Plan has four lanes); • Extension of Independence Parkway north of US380 to First Street (not on Plan); and • Extension of La Cima beyond north First Street to Frontier Parkway (not on Plan). As the update to the 2012 Mobility Plan is developed, it is recommended that Prosper’s Thoroughfare Plan elements be conveyed to County planners for inclusion into their plan. The County Plan also contains the northeastern section of the planned Dallas-Ft. Worth Regional Outer Loop. Currently, only a portion of this corridor, from Dallas North Tollway to SH 5, remains in the NCTCOG Metropolitan Transportation Plan: Mobility 2035 as viable due to financial funding constraints. While not a direct impact to Prosper, a long-term benefit of this improvement is the potential reduction in north/south travel on surface streets in favor of highway access on the DNT. Area Transportation Service A topic identified early in the planning process was a desire to provide shuttle service for seniors within Prosper. Collin County Area Regional Transit (CCART) currently provides transit services in Collin County, including on- call/demand response. This service provided by the County can be utilized by seniors, or other Town residents, when there is a need for transportation assistance. CCART operates Monday through Friday with service from 6am to 6pm. Advanced reservations also can be made from 6am to 6pm. 2007 Collin County Transportation Plan EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 220 Item 7. 68 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Highway Improvements Plans are underway for improvements to key highway corridors within Prosper. The following summarizes activity on Preston Road (SH 289), US 380 and the DNT: • Preston Road (SH 289) Overpass at Highway 380: Construction is underway to expand this overpass from two to six-lane lane divided. Work on this project began in March 2011 and is slated for completion in September 2012. • Preston Road (SH 289): Preston Road will be expanded from two to six-lane divided between Highway 380 and FM1461/Frontier Parkway. Construction is set to begin in the first quarter 2012 with completion targeted for first quarter 2014. All major crossings with Preston will be at- grade. • Highway 380: TXDOT is currently developing schematic plans to expand this facility from 4/5 lanes to six-lanes between Custer Road and the Collin County line. Between Lovers Lane, both east of Preston and west of DNT, a differing roadway section is being planned and will contain grade separated main lanes at Preston and DNT and frontage roads. The Highway 380 frontage roads will intersect with frontage roads of DNT and Preston will be similar to the SH 121/DNT/Preston interchange (three level interchange). This 2-3 year project is slated to begin early 2014 with completion in 2016 or early 2017. Within the Denton County portion of Highway 380, there are no current plans for expansion at this time. • Dallas North Tollway: Currently, no timing has been established for the implementation of the adjoining frontage road or extension of main lanes to FM 428 in Celina. The Town is working with the County to potentially initiate the implementation of the southbound frontage road between Highway 380 and Frontier Parkway, however no plans have been finalized at this time. Grade separations are envisioned at Lovers Lane, First Street, Prosper Trail and Frontier Parkway. Regional Rail In 2005, NCTCOG initially examined the feasibility of long-term regional rail service to various areas of the Metroplex. Within the Prosper area, analysis of regional rail extended only through Frisco. The Frisco Line, a 34.3 mile line extending from Irving to just south of Highway 380 in Frisco, was considered in the study. Evaluations considered long-term population and employment growth, existing rail corridors and compatibility with other freight operations, projected rider-ship, capital and operations/maintenance costs, system connectivity, among others in the analysis. A potential station location within Prosper is the BNSF Railroad at First Street within the Old Town district. The analysis concluded with a rider-ship forecast of 1,000 to 3,000 persons daily at the far northern end of the line in Frisco, and was initially recommended for inclusion to Mobility 2030 as a corridor for further evaluation. While no funding has been identified at this time, this line has been recommended for long-term consideration in Mobility 2035. Mobility 2035 has also identified the consideration of this rail line through Prosper to the northern county limit as a “corridor for EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 221 Item 7. 69 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION future evaluation”. Existing Conditions An analysis of existing traffic volume was conducted to identify travel patterns and serve as a basis for identifying roadway needs. Traffic volume data collected in April 2010 as part of the roadway impact fee system update was used to conduct a level of service analysis. Data collected as part of that study effort contained PM peak hour directional volume—roadway capacity values based on roadway functional class and existing street cross-section. “Level of service” refers to the operation condition of a roadway segment under traffic demand and is a calculation of volume to capacity. Level of service is gauged with a measure of “A” through “F”, with “A” reflecting roadways with free flow and little or no congestion, and “F” reflecting roadways with severe congestion. The analysis revealed that the majority of roadways in Prosper appear to be operating at acceptable levels of service (A/B/C). The exceptions were Highway 380, Preston Road and portions of Coit and Custer Road north of Highway 380 during the peak hour—these segments were calculated to operate at or below acceptable levels of service (LOS D and E/F). Planned expansion to Highway 380 and Preston should alleviate traffic demands currently experienced. While peak volumes are relatively low on Coit and Custer Roads, the narrow roadway sections contribute to the reduction in operational service. Projected Conditions The assessment of projected travel conditions on the thoroughfare network is important to determining the capability of the roadway system to accommodate projected area growth and roadway needs for a 20-year planning period. Two approaches were used to assess projected travel demand conditions for a 20-year horizon. The first approach involved review of travel model forecasts prepared by NCTCOG as part of Mobility 2035. The second approach involved development of travel demand characteristics based on remaining developable land within Prosper and then assignment of projected growth on this remaining developable land to the adjacent road network to yield roadway needs. Existing Traffic Volume and Level of Service Analysis EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 222 Item 7. 70 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Projected Traffic Conditions The Thoroughfare Plan network was compared to travel forecasts prepared by NCTCOG in order to assess its ability to accommodate traffic from future land uses within the Town. Regional travel forecast data from Mobility 2035: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for North Central Texas was used as a basis for the comparison. This sophisticated model forecasts traffic demand on the regional transportation network relative to projected population and employment growth for year 2035. Projected 2035 traffic volumes for key roadways include: • Preston Road – 53,000 • Highway 380 – 65,000 • Custer Road – 36,000 • Coit Road – 7,000 • Frontier Parkway – 20,000 • FM 1385—34,000 It is important to note that assumptions are made with respect to the amount of roadway network in place for Year 2035. For example, with Coit Road not included to its ultimate configuration (6-lane), travel demand shifts occur to roadways offering availability of higher capacity. This partly explains the higher volumes that resulted on Preston Road. With Coit Road fully in place, localized traffic would shift from away Preston Road. Under the Mobility 2035 forecast (and network assumptions contained within), all roads within Prosper are forecasted to operate at acceptable levels-of-service with the exception of Preston Road and Highway 380, which is anticipated to experience very high travel demand. Thoroughfare Plan Compatibility A screen line analysis was conducted to compare projected volume relative to capacity provided by the Thoroughfare Plan network at its ultimate configuration. Separate screens were used to segregate north-south from east- west demand, as well as demands east and west of the Dallas North Tollway. Adjustments were made for factor up travel demands commensurate with a population of 60,000 within Prosper in 2035, based upon the 8% growth projection. The analysis revealed the Thoroughfare Plan to have sufficient capacity at ultimate configuration to accommodate projected demands at year 2035. A sensitivity analysis was then conducted to assess network impacts with select roadways not to full buildout. Specifically, the north-south thoroughfares of Teel Parkway, Legacy Drive, and Coit Road were evaluated under a 4-lane scenario (all other Major Thoroughfares to 6-lane). The analysis revealed sufficient capacity of the network to be available at 2035. While ultimately, these specific roadways may need to be built to six lanes, a phased approach to facility implementation could be undertaken. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 223 Item 7. 71 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Planning Principles Prosper’s Thoroughfare Plan is built upon traditional thoroughfare planning concepts, which focuses on a functional roadway network providing mobility and accessibility to vehicular traffic. In order to address the community’s goals of providing multi-modal options to residents, such as sidewalks and trails for walking and biking, it will be important to incorporate the trail system from the recently completed Parks Plan. Together, these components offer a range of mode choices from which residents move about the community. Functional Street Classification Functional street classification recognizes that streets are part of a system having diverse origins and destinations. Functional classifications also describe and reflect a set of characteristics common to all roadways within each class. Functions range from providing mobility for through traffic and major traffic flows, to providing access to specific properties. Characteristics unique to each classification include the degree of continuity, general capacity, and traffic control characteristics. In short, the functional classification of streets provides for the circulation of traffic in a hierarchy of movement from one classification to the next. Functional classes can be subdivided further into major and minor designations to further detail their role in the community. Access and movement functions are directly related in that as uninhibited movement increases (speed), points of access decrease and vice versa. This is typically why freeways, with a high level of movement, have limited access points where as streets in neighborhood areas have more access points and reduced speed. Proper’s current Thoroughfare Plan recognizes four general classifications for roadways based upon a hierarchical function and include: • Major Thoroughfare: 6-lane divided roadway within 120’ ROW. These streets are designed to provide a high degree of mobility, service relatively high traffic volumes, have high operational speeds, and service a significant portion of through travel. • Minor Thoroughfare: 4-lane divided roadway with a similar function to the Major Thoroughfare, but more local in nature. The urban section is a curbed roadway within 90‘ROW. • Commercial Collector: 2 and 3-lane undivided roadway serving as connections between arterials and local streets. The 2-lane section consists of 36’ of pavement within a 60’ROW. This section is also aimed at serving residential applications. The 3-lane section contains a continuous left-turn bay and on-street parking within a 60’ROW and is used for handling commercial applications. • Neighborhood Street: 2-lane streets for accommodating neighborhood traffic. An urban and rural section are both contained within a 50’ ROW. The urban section is curbed with 31’ of pavement and the rural section contains 27’ of pavement.

Figure 7: Functional Street Classifications EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 225 Item 7. 73 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Access Coordination Flow of traffic is typically a major concern for most communities. The ability to move traffic efficiently along a corridor with minimal interference from traffic turning off and onto intersecting driveways/streets is a major benefit to motorists. Ideally, traffic should be able to avoid unnecessary “stop- and-go” traffic due to the abundance of intersecting driveways/ streets. While the implementation of deceleration lanes for streets and driveways on major and minor thoroughfares enhances capacity and accessibility, promotion of access management offers added benefits for the following reasons: 1) Reduces the number of ingress and egress points improving vehicular flow and reducing collisions; 2) Reduced driveways permit more landscaping frontage thereby enhancing roadway aesthetics; and 3) Reducing the number of driveways enhances the pedestrian experience by reducing pedestrian contact with turning traffic. Along key corridors, the concept of access coordination can be extended from individual sites to address corridor-wide segments. Master planning at a corridor scale enables: • Coordination of transportation and land use planning/decision making; • Allows for flexible and special area consideration to adjacent site development, special access and utilities coordination, and limits unnecessary connection points; • Economic benefits, aesthetics and amenity considerations; and • Promotes activity-based development centers, not strip retail. In larger corridors, the implementation of backage roads further helps to support main road safety and operations, internal and external site accessibility, and quality development patterns and design. Shared Access and Cross Access Reducing the number of driveways enhances corridor landscaping and aesthetics EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 226 Item 7. 74 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION 2007 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan A component in providing mobility choice is contained within the recently completed Parks Plan. The incorporated trail system is particularly important to mobility choice due to the connective nature that they serve from both within the community and the region— they may connect neighborhoods, schools, retail areas, recreational facilities and other core community or regional assets. Community trails are able to be utilized by residents for walking, jogging, biking and other recreational activities. Although intangible, trails have the ability to significantly improve the quality of life within the community by creating recreational options for residents and therefore serve a multitude of purposes beyond simply connectivity. It is important that elements of the Parks Plan be considered as new development occurs. The completed Parks Plan incorporates trails along several major roadways within the Town such as along Prosper Trail, First Street and Preston Road. Reflecting these trail connections on the Thoroughfare Plan emphasizes the significance of these trail connections within the overall connectivity framework. As roadway improvements coinciding with growth continue to occur, the Town should work to incorporate these roadway adjacent trail connections beginning with roadway planning and design. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 227 Item 7. 75 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Transportation Plan The Transportation element of this Plan is intended to serve as a guide for transportation decisions within the Town. It was developed based upon past transportation planning efforts, connectivity efforts on key thoroughfares with adjacent communities and input from the CPAC, Town Staff and public input. This Plan should be used as a reference when updating the Town’s Thoroughfare Plan, Thoroughfare and Circulation Design Standards and any related ordinances, and should be referred to when considering a wide range of decisions related to both transportation and land use. Transportation decisions do not exist within a vacuum, but are directly related to decisions regarding land use and building form. Therefore, the ultimate objective of this Plan is to create a balanced transportation system within Prosper which provides for the safe mobility of residents, considers both current and future needs, enhances connectivity and mobility options, and promotes a more livable community through a proactive approach to the Town’s appearance. The Thoroughfare Plan is reflected in Plate 3. Street classifications were developed based upon a number of factors including the roadways regional significance, current or projected traffic volumes, and land use. It is important to note that although a roadway may be identified as a Major Thoroughfare, the roadway design should not be rigid, but should consider a multitude of factors during its design including adjacent land use and context, among others.

A series of two-lane streets with varying cross- sections are aimed to support residential, boutique/cottage style office and specialty retail, and a mixed-use core area at Broadway and McKinley Streets. Wide landscaped medians, parkways and sidewalks are intended to provide an open feel to key corridors in the district. Section A: Four lane divided roadway with a landscaped median and a landscaped parkway separating pedestrians from traffic. This section serves as a major entrance into Old Town from the east. No on-street parking. Section B: Two lane divided roadway with a large center median containing landscaping. Wide travel lanes allow for bicycle accommodation and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. No on-street parking. Section C: Two lane divided roadway with a large center median containing landscaping. On- street parallel parking is permitted and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. Section D: Two lane undivided urban roadway. Wide 20’ sidewalks accommodate patio seating, pedestrian traffic and street trees. On-street angled parking is permitted and bulb- outs are located at intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility at crosswalks. Section E: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and an immediately adjacent 8’ sidewalk. A large private setback of 25’ is included. Section F: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and a 15’ sidewalk. 10’ of the sidewalk will be located within the right-of-way and the additional 5’ will be a 5’ setback to building face. Section G: Two lane divided roadway with a center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking and a 10’ sidewalk are included. The following modifications to the Thoroughfare Plan were developed as part of this planning process. These adjustments were developed based upon input received from the CPAC, Town Staff, land programming of the Future Land Use Plan and supporting transportation analyses. Within the mixed-use core area, wide sidewalks and on-street parking are envisioned to create a “sense of place” and allow for street amenities and gathering area. Development setbacks would also create opportunity for outdoor activity, dining or retail. Gateways and intersection treatments at key intersections have been identified to define district edge as well as tie the area together. Features for these treatments should be coordinated with theme, look and color. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 235 Item 7. 85 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 236 Item 7. 86 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION DNT Backage Roads The thoroughfare plan calls for paralleling system of streets to support anticipated corridor development along the Dallas North Tollway. Sometimes referred as backage roads, these roads help to support development connectivity and accessibility. At Prosper Trail, a realignment of the backage road east of the Tollway was identified to avoid existing development and retain continuity for development opportunity to the north and south. This realigned commercial collector would still allow for 400-600’ lot depth for properties along the Tollway. Hays Road Collector Upgrade Hays Road as a commercial collector street to support future commercial/retail development opportunity along Preston Road north of First Street. Extending from First Street, Hays should be realigned at the north end to intersect Preston Road at Bridgeport Drive. This realignment would also help to reduce intersection points along Preston Road. The realignment of Hays at Bridgeport would also require a realigned intersection for Chandler Circle. South Coleman Road Extend and realign S. Coleman Road to intersect with Richland Blvd. at Preston Road. In addition to supporting development within Town Center, this connection would also create back access/connectivity with development anticipated east of Preston along Highway 380. Within Town Center, S. Coleman Road should be upgraded to a four-lane divided minor Thoroughfare (90’ ROW) to provide roadway capacity to support heavy development anticipated for this area. Consequently, the previously identified loop road extending from S. Coleman Road and back to McKinley Street should be removed from the Plan. South Craig Road Upgrade Craig Road between Preston Road and Broadway Street as a 3 lane couplet street to support retail development opportunity both within the Old Town District and along Preston Road.

This would equate to roughly 2,853,379 square feet of retail space. For assumption purposes, we assumed a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.18 for retail. Dividing the total square footage of retail by the FAR and further dividing by 43,560 achieves the estimated retail acres that would be needed to accommodate the 2,853,379 square feet of retail space. This number is 364 acres. An important factor to consider in the planning process is how land use decisions ultimately impact the future financial state of the community. Therefore, Prosper’s Future Land Use Plan not only guides development within the community but it provides the financial framework enabling Prosper to provide high-quality services for its residents. The following section pertains to this very topic and provides estimates on the potential sales tax and ad valorem tax revenue that could be collected by the Town at build-out. In order to provide a detailed analysis, experts at Catalyst Commercial were consulted and provided information on future retail trade potential in Prosper based upon the Future Land Use Plan.

These assumptions were derived from staff discussions, existing zoning regulations and future characteristics believed to define each district and include: 1. Approximately 70% of the Neighborhood Services will be retail in nature. 2. Approximately 45% of the Town Center would be retail in nature. The Town Center will likely have a mixture of retail, office, residential and public space. The primary use, however, will likely be oriented around retail. 3. 10% of the Tollway District will be retail. Office uses will constitute the largest majority of land within the Tollway District. Retail areas within the Town Center will likely be at major intersections and on the first floor of vertical mixed-use apartments/lofts. 4. 10% of the Highway 380 district will be retail. Commercial uses and residential uses will constitute a significant portion of the corridor. Retail areas at major intersections, including big- box retailers, will constitute the majority of retail establishments within the corridor. Given these assumptions, a total of 757 retail acres is expected, based upon the Future Land Use Plan scenario and the above assumptions. Additionally, the presence of visible and attractive corridors in Prosper suggests the Town will be able to attract patrons from outside of the Town itself. Our preliminary analysis indicates that, based on current spending trends experienced today, the Future Land Use Plan contains more than sufficient retail space to meet the future needs of Prosper. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 239 Item 7. 90 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Analysis Retail Sales Tax While 364 acres of retail is recommended by the economic analysis, a number of different factors may affect long-term retail needs in Prosper and include the following: • A potential build-out population higher than the current estimate of69,303. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan and recent impact fee reports all estimate a buildout population of over89,000 residents. Assuming a population of 82,000 residents, Prosper could accommodate approximately 430 acres of retail. • Prosper will have a regional retail center in the Town Center. This area of the community will have a regional draw and will attract retail patrons from outside of Prosper. Additional retail acreage, therefore, can be accommodated due to the regional nature of such retail. • Within retail areas, other uses such as churches, public facilities, schools and other non-retail uses may occur. Due to the above factors, it is believed that the Town could potentially accommodate the 757 retail acres depicted in the chart on page 98. As the Town grows, and as further comprehensive plan studies are completed, this number should be carefully examined and adjusted, if necessary. Based upon the assumptions from page 97, 750 acres of retail would essentially double the initial 364 acre estimates from a 17.1 million total sales tax contribution to approximately $34 million in sales tax revenue ($17.1 million to the general fund, $8.6 million to Economic Development and $8.6 million to property tax reduction). This sales tax revenue, when combined with estimated Ad Valorem Tax revenue, would enable Prosper to be financially secure and provide high level services and/or property tax reductions to its citizens. It is also recommended that additional neighborhood service retail zoning beyond what is recommended on the Future Land Use Plan should be avoided. The 750 acres recommended by this economic analysis should be sufficient to meet Prosper’s retail needs. Additional neighborhood services retail zoning should be avoided. Nodal retail activity should be concentrated at primary intersections, and the “four corner” principle should be avoided to reduce the possibility of an oversupply of retail acreage. Strip center development along major roadways should also be avoided, as the plan recommends. The consequences of an oversupply of retail may include: • Vacant, underutilized land; • Lower rental rates leading to undesirable uses; • Pressures for additional multifamily to fill vacant parcels; and • Blighted corridors. Based upon an extremely conservative allocation of retail acres, the Future Land Use Plan may accommodate approximately 750 retail acres. This is significantly higher than the 364 retail acres recommended by the economic analysis. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 240 Item 7. 91 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Ad Valorem Tax An Ad Valorem analysis was conducted. Comparative properties were selected in each of the following Future Land Use Plan categories. Based upon the data collected from the Collin and Denton County Appraisal Districts, an average value per acre was assessed on the comparative properties to derive an estimated value per acre per land use category. The derived value per acre was then multiplied by the total number of acres within each district to calculate the total gross value of the district. Using the current tax rate of .52 cents per $100 of assessed value, an approximate gross Ad Valorem tax contribution per district was calculated. In order to account for right-of-way, such as public streets, and tax exemptions, such as schools and churches, 30% of the total value was subtracted to derive the estimated value and Ad Valorem amount that could be contributed to the General Fund annually. It is important to note that this analysis is for estimation purposes only and is based upon assessed values in 2011 dollars. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the approximate Ad Valorem contributions that could be generated based upon the Future Land Use Plan.

The Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget indicates that the Town of Prosper had a General Fund budget of $7,115,112. When this number is divided by the 2010 population of 9,423, an average per capita expenditure of $755 per person is derived. This per capita expenditure by Prosper is comparable with other regional communities. Southlake has the highest per capital expenditure among the comparative group primarily due to its high residential property values, high-quality non-residential uses and its regional Town Center drawing patrons from outside the community. This situation enables Southlake to provide higher level services and enhanced aesthetics to its residents. The similarities between the economics and vision between Prosper and Southlake are similar in nature. 2010 Population FY 2010-2011 General Fund Budget Per Capita Expenditure Southlake 26,575 $30,410,480 $1,144 Richardson 99,223 $94,180,002 $949 Allen 84,246 $72,270,464 $858 Prosper 9,423 $7,115,112 $755 Argyle 3,282 $2,320,366 $707 Plano 258,841 $182,758,485 $706 McKinney 131,117 $90,788,018 $692 Frisco 116,989 $77,945,250 $666 Celina 6,028 $3,945,684 $655 Desoto 49,047 $29,760,521 $607 Rowlett 56,199 $33,793,677 $601 Little Elm 25,898 $13,157,771 $508 Multiplying the per capita expenditure of $755 per person by the ultimate capacity of 69,303, an ultimate capacity General Fund budget for Prosper of $52,323,765 is derived. Discussed in the previous sections, the approximate Ad Valorem contribution to the General Fund at build-out would be approximately $66.1 million. The approximate sales tax contribution to the general fund based upon the 750 retail acres would be approximately $17.1 million. Based upon this scenario, total General Fund income from taxes at build- out would be approximately $83.5 million. This scenario would position Prosper to be in a similar situation to Southlake and Richardson, enabling the Town to provide high quality services for its residents. It should be noted that additional forms of sales tax, such as Industry Tax and Inventory Tax, are not included and will create additional avenues for income. These numbers are approximate and are derived for estimation purposes only. *This is an estimate based upon the projected sales tax revenue and possible Ad Valorem revenue. This estimate does not include additional forms of sales tax such as Industry Tax and Inventory Tax. Figure 10: Tax Gap Analysis EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 242 Item 7. 93 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Economic Analysis Conclusion Forecasted potential sales tax data indicates that Prosper has the potential to derive a significant monetary amount from sales tax receipts at build-out. This is ultimately dependent upon the community attracting high-quality retail establishments that serve residents of the community and provide regional retail destinations that attract patrons from outside of Prosper. The primary regional destinations will be located within the Town Center and at the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. Additional retail may be located within the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380 districts, but will likely be less intense in nature. Retail/Neighborhood Service areas away from the major districts will likely serve the internal needs of Prosper, providing less intensive services to adjacent residential neighborhoods. Additional retail/neighborhood services zoning outside of the Dallas North Tollway, Town Center and Highway 380 districts should be carefully considered in order to avoid an oversupply of retail zoning. Flexibility within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380 and Town Center districts will enable Town staff to make appropriate, market-based land use decisions as development occurs. An estimate of Ad Valorem taxes at build-out suggests that Prosper will have the potential for a significant Ad Valorem contribution to its General Fund. Prosper’s high-quality neighborhoods and its dedication to providing high-quality retail destinations will be a primary factor in determining the ultimate Ad Valorem value of the community. As development occurs, the community has expressed a desire to attract the highest quality development possible to protect the Town’s visual character and maximize the taxable value for both the General Fund and Prosper ISD. Future non- residential land use decisions should consider the long-term potential contributions of that particular development to the community, favoring clustered nodal retail activity centers, Class A office space (office space defined by high-quality furnishings, state-of-the-art facilities and excellent accessibility) and corporate campuses over strip retail and stand- alone retail establishments. The retail data provided indicates that the Future Land Use Plan created for Prosper provides a significant amount of retail space to meet the future needs of Prosper residents. The Future Land Use Plan also gives Town Staff, Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council ultimate flexibility to determine where retail areas should be located within the established districts. While the numbers provided are estimates on the potential sales tax and Ad Valorem income of the community at build-out, it is important to note that these are only estimates. To ensure that Prosper has a financially secure future, the land use and character principles outlined in this Plan should be used as a guide to attract the highest quality development possible. High- quality and long-lasting development is ultimately the key in ensuring that Prosper has a sound financial future. Focusing on attracting and maintaining such development will enable Prosper to meet the essential needs of its future residents. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 243 Item 7. 94 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Infrastructure Assessment Planning for and providing infrastructure is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities of a municipality. Citizens need to be secure in the knowledge that they can rely on their local government to ensure that there is adequate and safe water supply and wastewater capacity for current populations and that proper plans are developed to provide for future growth. There are numerous technical studies that can be used to analyze these current and future needs for the Town. This 2012 Comprehensive Plan is not intended to take the place of these detailed technical efforts. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to determine whether the Town has made or plans on undertaking these efforts. This Infrastructure Assessment is intended to provide an overview of Prosper’s infrastructure system and capacity of that system in relation to the current population and the future projected population. Previous Planning Efforts The most recent large scale, in-depth analysis of future water and wastewater needs was completed in 2006 by Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI). At that time FNI developed a Water Distribution Master Plan and a Wastewater Collection Master Plan. These studies analyzed growth based on the Future Land Use Plan in place at that time and used typical usage factors for water and wastewater based on historical water usage and wastewater flows in Prosper. The study developed Capital Improvement Plans intended on implementing the recommendations in the technical studies and provided mapping of the proposed improvements. The Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Plans were updated in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, also performed by FNI. The recommended improvements outlined in the Impact Fee Study are intended to provide the required capacity and reliability to meet projected water demands and wastewater flows through Buildout. Due to timing of the Impact Fee Study and Comprehensive Plan projects, the recommended water and wastewater projects developed in the Impact Fee Study were based on growth rates and Future Land Use Plan developed prior to the 2012 Comprehensive Plan. Infrastructure Goals and Objectives The goal and objectives for infrastructure are shown below: Goal: Ensure that existing water, wastewater and storm drainage systems and future plans adequately serve current and future residents and businesses. Objective 1: Investigate any deficiencies in the infrastructure systems. Objective 2: Develop concepts that will address deficiencies of the infrastructure system. Objective 3: Strive for an infrastructure system that will effectively and economically serve existing and projected needs of the community in a safe and efficient manner. Objective 4: Ensure that infrastructure is compatible or expanded to support future development, specifically in key development areas. Existing Lift Station in Prosper EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 244 Item 7. 95 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Water System Existing Characteristics North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is a regional water provider with a treatment capacity of 770 million gallons of water per day and serves approximately 1.6 million people. NTMWD currently serves water to the Town of Prosper through a 48” transmission line in the northwest portion of NTMWD’s system. The water from NTMWD is dropped into a 3 million gallon (MG) ground storage tank and re- pumped to serve the Prosper distribution system through a 30” water line. The NTMWD delivery point into the Town of Prosper is in the southeast portion of the Town, and this is the only existing treated water delivery point. The Town relies on NTMWD for all treated water and does not utilize existing wells in the system. In addition, there are not emergency water connections with surrounding entities. Storage and Usage The Town had an average daily flow of 1.9 million gallons per day in 2010, and Town records show 3,230 active water accounts. This number includes both normal domestic connections and irrigation-only connections. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires 200 gallons per connection of storage of which 100 gallons must be elevated storage. The Town currently has a 2 million gallon elevated storage tank near Preston Road and First Street and 3 million gallons in ground storage at the NTMWD delivery point. Since the limiting factor in this case is the elevated storage capacity, based on the current elevated capacity of 2 million gallons, the number of connections that would be allowed by TCEQ is 20,000. FNI developed criteria in the 2011 Impact Fee Update for sizing of storage and pumping capacity for the Town. These criteria are more stringent than TCEQ requirements and take into consideration many additional factors including operational flexibility, fire protection, system redundancy, and energy efficiency. The design criteria recommended to size ground storage tank capacity is to provide adequate storage volume to meet 8 hours of maximum day demand. The design criteria recommended for elevated storage capacity is twice the required volume needed to meet 35% of the peak hour demand for a duration of 3 hours. The design criteria recommended for pump station capacity is providing a firm pumping capacity to meet 65% of the peak hour demand. The firm pumping capacity is defined as the total available pumping capacity with the largest pump out of service to each pressure plane. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 245 Item 7. 96 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Considerations for the Future Generally speaking, the planning that has taken place regarding water infrastructure has served the Town very well. The population and land use data in the 2011 Impact Fee Update was used to develop future water demands. Conservation measures in place for the future were taken into account in determining the projected water usage. The current Water System Capital Improvement Plan was completed in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, and recommended improvements to serve the Town through Buildout are shown on Plate4. Since that time, and as a result of this Plan, population growth has changed and land uses have changed. In order to remain relevant, the Capital Improvements Plan should be either revised or updated as plans are developed in order to ensure consistency. Water Short Term Recommendations: 1. Yearly monitoring of growth to guide implementation of water system projects. 2. Evaluate whether the Lower Pressure Plane should be served through a dedicated Lower Pressure Plane Pump Station at the existing NTMWD delivery point site or through a new Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) delivery point on the west side of the Town. This should be determined prior to design of the proposed 42” Lower Pressure Plane line and Pump Station, and this project is recommended to be under design in 2016 based on growth rates and land use assumptions in the 2011 Impact Fee Study. Water Long Term Recommendations: 1. Coordinate with NTMWD to receive additional water supply capacity to meet projected water demands. 2. Continue implementation of the projects indicated in the 2011 Impact Fee Update. 3. Update Water Master Plan and Impact Fee CIP at least every 5 years or more frequently if land use assumptions or service provider assumptions change significantly. 4. Investigate an emergency interconnect with an adjacent entity to increase water system reliability and redundancy. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 246 Item 7.

The treatment plant serving the Town is the Wilson Creek Regional Treatment Plant located near Fairview on Lake Lavon. This plant also serves Anna, Melissa, Princeton, McKinney, Allen, Fairview, Frisco, Lucas, Richardson, Parker, and Plano. The current average day capacity of the Wilson Creek WWTP is 48 MGD, with a build- out capacity of 112 MGD. The NTMWD interceptor runs through the northeast corner of the Town of Prosper. Due to the terrain within the Town, lift stations are required to make the collection system effective and send all wastewater flow to the NTMWD system. The Town currently has 6 large lift stations in operation for this purpose. The Gentle Creek and Steeple Chase lift stations have already been abandoned, and the remainder of the lift stations with the exception of La Cima will be abandoned in the future with proposed projects. Considerations for the Future Generally speaking, the planning that has taken place regarding wastewater infrastructure has served the Town very well. The Town signed an agreement with Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) in December 2007 to send a majority of future wastewater flows to an existing UTRWD interceptor in the west side of Prosper. This was a very strategic move for the Town as it will allow the Town to abandon a majority of existing lift stations and significantly reduce capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs by removing lift stations and force mains from the Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan. The current Wastewater System Capital Improvement Plan was completed in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, and recommended improvements to serve the Town through Buildout are shown on Plate5. As soon as the interceptor from the abandoned WWTP to the UTRWD interceptor is completed, the lift station at the WWTP and 12” force main will no longer be utilized to send Subbasin 2 and 4 wastewater flows to the NTMWD system. The long term plan is to continue to send wastewater flows in Subbasins 5 and 6 to the NTMWD system, and wastewater flows in Subbasins 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be sent to the UTRWD system. Since development of the Capital Improvement Plan for the Impact Fee Update, and as a result of this Plan, population growth has changed and land uses have changed. In order to remain relevant, the Capital Improvements Plan should be either revised or updated as plans are developed in order to ensure consistency. Wastewater Short Term Recommendations: 1. Yearly monitoring of growth to guide implementation of wastewater system projects. 2. Continue to eliminate existing lift stations to reduce O&M costs. Wastewater Long Term Recommendations: 1. Future acquisition of additional wastewater treatment capacity from NTMWD and UTRWD. 2. Continue implementation of the projects indicated in the 2011 Impact Fee Update. 3. Update Wastewater Master Plan and Impact Fee CIP at least every 5 years or more frequently if land use assumptions or service provider assumptions change significantly. 4. Consider conversion of existing services on septic systems to the Prosper wastewater system. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 248 Item 7.

The assessment included a visual inspection, as well as discussions with Town Staff, of several areas within the Town that have flooding or potential flooding issues. The study identified and prioritized storm drain infrastructure facilities across the Town that are in need of replacement or upsizing to anticipate increases in flows or to correct current drainage problems. Eight major maintenance and capital projects and seven routine maintenance projects were identified. All solutions presented in the study were conceptual in nature and only used to provide a range of estimated construction costs for comparison purposes. Each capital project location will require a detailed study by a licensed engineer that should consider other alternatives before a final solution can be determined. As the Town continues to develop, a Comprehensive Drainage Utility System Master Plan should be completed to further identify and refine storm water management projects. The Town is currently not subject to new federal storm water quality regulations (Phase II MS4) that would require the Town to further protect and enhance water quality in creeks and lakes through the development of a storm water quality management program. However, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will issue the next Phase II MS4 permit in August 2012, and the determination of regulated communities would be based upon each community’s 2010 U.S. Census population. Based on population growth in and around Prosper over the last decade, it is likely that the Town will become subject to the Phase II MS4 requirements. As an operator of a small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), the Town would be required to develop a multi-faceted program to protect storm water quality before it enters creeks, rivers, and lakes. The program includes a number of measures to protect storm water quality, such as the following: • Drainage utility system maintenance; • Structural and non-structural water quality protection measures; • Drainage utility system mapping and inspections; • Public education, outreach and involvement; • Town ordinances regulating construction activity, illicit discharges, and post-construction runoff; and • Town staff training and operations improvements. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 250 Item 7. 105 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Considerations for the Future As development continues within the Town of Prosper, several actions should be taken to handle drainage and storm water management issues. Storm Water Short Term Recommendations: 1. Consider establishing a program to conduct routine inspections and operations and maintenance (O&M) activities throughout the drainage utility system to minimize flooding potential, reduce creek erosion, and protect storm water quality. 2. Yearly monitoring of capital project needs to guide implementation of storm drain system projects outlined in the 2010 Drainage Utility System Fee Development Report. Storm Water Long Term Recommendations: 1. Develop a Comprehensive Drainage Utility System Master Plan. This plan will provide an in-depth analysis of current drainage facilities and project the need for future facilities (detention, culverts, channel enhancements, etc.) based on the adopted Future Land Use Plan. The drainage utility system master plan can be a powerful tool that helps define the direction of future development, the protection of natural resources, and the integration of public spaces such as parks in the Town. 2. Review current subdivision standards to ensure that new developments bear responsibility to ensure that these developments do not adversely impact the overall storm water system within the Town. 3. Review the drainage utility system fee rates in several years to consider any changes that the Town might want to incorporate in the drainage utility system fee rate. Potential changes might include increased costs for equipment, additional CIP projects that may be needed, increasing water quality regulatory compliance requirements and others. 4. Continue implementation of projects outlined in the 2010 Drainage Utility System Fee Development Report. 5. Prepare a storm water quality management plan and implement over a 5-year period a storm water quality management program to meet the requirements of the pending 2012 TCEQ Phase II MS4 general permit. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 251 Item 7. 106 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Implementation Plan The importance of planning can never be overstated—planning provides for the protection of private property and ensures future development occurs in a coordinated and organized fashion, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The future of Prosper will be shaped with the policies and recommendations developed in this 2012 Comprehensive Plan. Based on this Plan, decisions will be made that will influence many aspects of the Town’s built and social environments. Prosper has taken an important leadership role in defining its future, with the adoption of this Plan. The Plan will provide a very important tool for Town Staff and civic leaders to use in making sound planning decisions regarding the long-term growth and development of Prosper. The future quality of life in Prosper will be substantially influenced by the manner in which the Plan recommendations are administered and maintained. Planning for the Town's future should be a continuous process, and this Plan is designed to be a dynamic tool that can be modified and periodically updated to keep it in tune with changing conditions and trends. Changes in Prosper’ socioeconomic climate and in development trends that were not anticipated during preparation of the Plan will occur from time to time, and therefore, subsequent adjustments will be required. Elements of the Town that were treated in terms of a general relationship to the overall area may, in the future, require more specific and detailed attention. Plan policies and recommendations may be put into effect through adopted development regulations, such as zoning and subdivision, and through capital improvement programs. Many recommendations within the Plan can be implemented through simple refinement of existing Town regulations or processes, while others may require the establishment of new regulations, programs, or processes. This final section of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan describes specific ways in which Prosper can take the recommendations within this plan from vision to reality. Proactive and Reactive Implementation There are two primary methods of Plan implementation: proactive and reactive methods. To successfully implement the Plan and fully realize its benefits, both methods must be used in an effective manner. Both proactive and reactive actions that could be used by Prosper are described within this Implementation Chapter. Examples of proactive methods include: • Establishing or updating subdivision regulations; • Establishing or updating zoning regulations; and • Developing a capital improvements program (CIP), by which the Town expends funds to finance public improvements to meet objectives cited within the Plan. Examples of reactive methods include: • Approving a rezoning application submitted by a property owner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; • Site plan review; and • Subdivision review. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 252 Item 7. 107 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Roles of the Comprehensive Plan Guide for Daily Decision-Making The current physical layout of the Town is a product of previous efforts put forth by many diverse individuals and groups. In the future, each new development that takes place, whether a subdivision that is platted, a home that is built, or a new school, church or shopping center that is constructed, represents an addition to Prosper’ physical form. The composite of all such efforts and facilities creates the Town as it is seen and experienced by its citizens and visitors. If planning is to be effective, it must guide each and every individual development decision. The Town, in its daily decisions pertaining to whether to surface a street, to approve a residential plat, to amend a zoning ordinance provision, to enforce the building codes, or to construct a new utility line, should always refer to the basic proposals outlined within the Comprehensive Plan. The private builder or investor, likewise, should recognize the broad concepts and policies of the Plan so that their efforts become part of a meaningful whole in planning the Town. Flexible and Alterable Guide This 2012 Comprehensive Plan is intended to be a dynamic planning document for Prosper – one that responds to changing needs and conditions. Plan amendments should not be made without thorough analysis of immediate needs, as well as consideration for long-term effects of proposed amendments. The Town Council and other Prosper officials should consider each proposed amendment carefully to determine whether it is consistent with the Plan's goals and policies, and whether it will be beneficial for the long-term health and vitality of Prosper. Annual Review At one-year intervals, a periodic review of the Plan with respect to current conditions and trends should be performed. Such on-going, scheduled evaluations will provide a basis for adjusting capital expenditures and priorities, and will reveal changes and additions that should be made to the Plan in order to keep it current and applicable long-term. It would be appropriate to devote one annual meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission to reviewing the status and continued applicability of the plan in light of current conditions, and to prepare a report on these findings to the Town Council. Those items that appear to need specific attention should be examined in more detail, and changes and/or additions should be made accordingly. By such periodic evaluations, the Plan will remain functional, and will continue to give civic leaders effective guidance in decision-making. Periodic reviews of the plan should include consideration of the following: • The Town's progress in implementing the plan; • Changes in conditions that form the basis of the plan; • Community support for the plan's goals, objectives & policies; and • Changes in State laws. The full benefits of the Plan for Prosper can only be realized by maintaining it as a vital, up-to-date document. As changes occur and new issues within the Town become apparent, the Plan should be revised rather than ignored. By such action, the Plan will remain current and effective in meeting the Town's decision-making needs. EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 253 Item 7. 108 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Complete Review and Update with Public Participation In addition to periodic annual reviews, the Comprehensive Plan should undergo a complete, more thorough review and update every 5 or 10 years. The review and updating process should begin with the establishment of a Steering Committee, similar to the one that was appointed to assist in the preparation of this Plan. If possible, this committee or the Planning and Zoning Commission should be in charge of periodic review of the plan. Specific input on major changes should be sought from various groups, including property owners, neighborhood groups, civic leaders and developers and business owners. Regulatory Mechanisms The usual processes for reviewing and processing zoning amendments, development plans, and subdivision plans provide significant opportunities for implementing the Plan. Each zoning, development and subdivision decision should be evaluated and weighed against applicable proposals contained within the Plan. If decisions are made that are inconsistent with Plan recommendations, then they should include actions to modify or amend the Plan accordingly in order to ensure consistency and fairness in future decision-making. Amending the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance represent two major proactive measures that the Town can take to implement 2012 Comprehensive Plan recommendations. Zoning Ordinance Zoning is perhaps the single most powerful tool for implementing Plan recommendations. The Town’s Zoning Ordinance should be updated with the recommendations contained within the chapters of this 2012 Comprehensive Plan. All zoning and land use changes should be made within the context of existing land uses, future land uses, and planned infrastructure, including roadways, water and wastewater. Zoning Text Amendments Consideration should be given to updating areas of the zoning ordinance that may allow ideas, principles or design standards identified within this Comprehensive Plan to be more easily achieved. Their implementation will not only improve future development and interaction between land uses, but will also improve Prosper’s overall image and livability. Such changes may involve landscaping setbacks, non-residential building design, and additional tree requirements, to name a few. These recommendations should be itemized and prioritized, and should be incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance accordingly. Zoning Map Amendments State law gives power to cities to regulate the use of land, but regulations should be based on a plan. Therefore, Prosper’s Zoning Map should be as consistent as possible with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Future Land Use Plan. It is not reasonable, however, to recommend that the Town make large-scale changes in its zoning map changes immediately. It is therefore recommended that the Town prioritize areas where a change in current zoning is needed in the short-term and that efforts be concentrated on making such changes. In the long-term, consistent zoning policy in conformance with the Future Land Use Plan will achieve the Town’s preferred land use pattern over time. Subdivision Ordinance The act of subdividing land to create building sites has a major effect on the overall design and image of Prosper. Much of the basic physical form of the Town is currently created by the layout of streets, easements, and lots. In the future, the basic physical form of Prosper will be further affected by such action. Requirements for adequate public facilities are essential to ensure the Town’s orderly and EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 254 Item 7. 109 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan IMPLEMENTATION PLAN efficient growth. Plan recommendations, such as cross-access easements, should be incorporated within the Subdivision Ordinance. Implementation Goals and Objectives Implementation is one of the most important, yet most difficult, aspects of the comprehensive planning process. Without viable, realistic strategies for implementation, the recommendations contained within this 2012 Comprehensive Plan will be difficult to realize. The following section contains the original six community goals established within the Community Vision chapter of this comprehensive plan. Under each of the six community goals, more specific objectives are included to guide plan implementation. The objectives listed are derived from recommendations contained within the comprehensive plan document as well as ideas heard from the CPAC and general public. Goal 1. Provide a variety of land uses, in accordance with the vision of Prosper Residents, which diversify the tax base and enable all types of people to live, work, shop, eat and relax in Prosper.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ei Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan Executive Summary Prosper’s 2012 Comprehensive Plan is a plan to preserve the past, realize the potential of the present, and guide the future of the Town. It is a coordinated effort of citizens, decision makers, Town staff, and other stakeholders. The Plan analyzes the issues presented by the current conditions to develop a vision for the future of Prosper and designs the pathway to achieve that desired future. As we have seen in the last decade, growth in Prosper is inevitable. This Plan is meant to help preserve the Town’s history, culture and resources, as well as manage growth sensibly and responsibly. This Plan is intended to be a dynamic, flexible and adaptable guide to help decision-makers, citizens, Town staff, developers and business owners shape Prosper’s future on a continual, proactive basis. This planning document forms the basis for policy decisions. Policy-makers and Town staff will use this document as a guide only while reviewing development projects, Town budget, prioritizing capital improvement projects and drafting ordinances to direct growth that leads to the vision identified in this document. For citizens and potential developers, this plan can be used as a guide to: • Compare development requests or projects with the vision and strategies of this plan; • Choose the right project or realign the request to meet the vision; and • Review recommendations and implementation ideas to determine an appropriate development model. Plan Elements Prosper’s 2012 Comprehensive Plan is structured into seven sections – Planning to Plan, Community Vision, Community Character, Transportation Plan, Economic Analysis, Infrastructure Assessment and Implementation Plan. Planning to Plan This section provides introductory information that should be considered as planning decisions are made. Historical population growth for both Prosper and the region, general household characteristics, existing land use, planning constraints and past planning efforts are identified to begin to set the baseline, or context from which plan recommendations should be made. Community Vision One of the most critical elements of the planning process was identifying the Town’s vision. This process included a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) made up of 13 Town residents who were ultimately responsible for formulating Plan recommendations. In addition to the CPAC, two Town Hall meetings were conducted on June 27, 2011 and February 13, 2012. Town residents participated in roundtable discussions and other exercises designed to gather feedback on the Town’s vision. A Visual Character Survey (VCS) was made available on the Town’s website over the duration of a 4 week period. A total of over 440 Town residents participated in the online VCS where residents rated nearly 200 individual images. Key characteristics identified by the public included the desire for maintaining the small- town feel, preserving large-lot homes and providing high-quality retail shopping and restaurants. Community Character The Community Character element examined both land use and livability characteristics. The existing 2004 Comprehensive Plan was used as a basis for land use decisions and necessary and appropriate altercations were made based upon the Community Vision. Overall densities in all residential categories were lowered from the 2004 Plan and lot-size guidelines were provided. Based upon the Future Land Use Plan, the Town could support approximately 69,000 residents and, based upon recent PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 266 Item 7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eii Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper growth trends, build out could potentially occur between 2035 and 2040. Livability guidelines included keeping the more intense development along the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380 while maintaining Preston Road as an internal corridor respective of adjacent residential neighborhoods. General considerations for neighborhood design were derived with an eye towards providing a wide range of housing in Prosper, taking into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicity. A land use and roadway character plan for Old Town was created in order to preserve the historical element of the Town’s founding. Finally, gateway and image enhancement recommendations were provided. Transportation Plan The Town recently completed an update to its Thoroughfare Plan and therefore no major modifications were needed. Minor modifications to the South Coleman Couplet were proposed in addition to creating backage roads for access along the Dallas North Tollway, upgrading Hayes Road and providing frontage roads along Highway 380 between the Lovers Lane Loop. Finally, roadway sections for Old Town were created. Roadway sections are intended to preserve and enhance the historical elements of Old Town. Economic Analysis A general economic analysis was conducted to determine the Town’s retail needs at build-out and to approximate the financial benefits of the Future Land Use Plan in terms of potential sales and property tax contributions. Findings indicate that retail acreage on the Future Land Use Plan can support the Town’s future needs and accounts for additional market capture due to the Towns major regional corridors. Ad Valorem and Sales Tax estimates, combined with current per capita expenditures, indicate that the Future Land Use Plan is diversified and can potentially permit the Town to provide additional services and amenities in the future. Infrastructure Assessment An evaluation of overall water and wastewater infrastructure within the Town was conducted. Based upon recommendations within the Town’s recently completed water and wastewater master plans, the Town can provide water and wastewater services to accommodate a potential build-out of approximately 69,000 residents. Implementation Plan The Implementation Plan provides objectives related to the six community goals identified within the Community Vision. These objectives are intended to provide direction towards achieving the ultimate vision for the Town. The Implementation Plan also includes an issue prioritization derived from citizen voting during the February 13, 2012 Town Hall meeting. This prioritization is intended guide Town staff and decision-makers as future projects and needs are identified. Differences from 2004 Plan The following are the noticeable changes from the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. • Vision Statement: the 2004 Plan does not include a Vision Statement. • Single Family Densities and Lot Size: The 2004 Plan recommends densities of less than 2.0 dwelling units per acre (DUA) in low density residential areas and between 2.1 and 3.5 DUA in medium density residential areas. The 2004 Plan does not give a recommendation on lot sizes. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan recommends less than 1.6 DUA in low density residential area and between 1.6 and 2.5 DUA in medium density residential areas. The 2012 Plan also recommends lots greater than 15,000 square feet in low density areas and between 12,500 and 20,000 square feet in medium density residential areas. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 267 Item 7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eiii Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan • Multifamily: The 2004 Comprehensive Plan supports 215 acres of multifamily and an estimated 3,425 multifamily units. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan anticipates the Town having approximately 6,248 high density residential units at ultimate capacity. • Artesia Municipal Utility District: The 2004 Plan does not recognize Artesia and recommended medium density residential. The 2012 Plan recognizes Artesia and identifies the area as high density single family. • Ultimate Capacity: The 2004 Plan estimates a build-out population of 89,919 people. The 2012 Plan estimates a build-out population of 69,303 people. • Business Park District: Due to the nature of existing zoning, the 2012 Plan recommends a variety of potential uses, such as light industrial, commercial warehousing, office storage and commercial uses with outside storage. • Removal of Commercial Boulevard and Industrial along US 380: The 2012 Plan shows medium density residential in place of the commercial Boulevard District and the Industrial District has been replaced by the Highway 380 District, which allows for a variety of uses such as big box retail, commercial services, hotels, banks and convenience stores, among others. • Retail Space: The 2004 Plan recommends 1,900,000 square feet of retail space. The 2012 Plan suggests approximately 5.7 million square feet of retail space due to the regional nature of the Town’s commercial corridors. • Downtown Prosper: The 2004 Plan did not provide specific land use or transportation recommendations for Old Town. The 2012 Plan incorporates the 2007 Land Use Plan for Old Town and provides a detailed transportation plan for the area. • Passenger Rail: the 2004 Plan does not mention the possibility of future passenger rail on the BNSF Railroad. Although not desired at this time, the 2012 Plan addresses the possibility of passenger rail in the future but leaves the decision of whether or not passenger rail is appropriate in Prosper to future community leaders. 2012 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 268 Item 7. 1 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT What is a Comprehensive Plan? The comprehensive plan for the Town of Prosper is intended solely as a guide to direct future development decisions made by Town staff, elected officials and all other decision makers. The comprehensive plan tells the story of who the community is and what it wishes to become. This document is intended to serve as a flexible long-range planning tool that guides the growth and physical development of Prosper for ten years, twenty years or an even longer period of time. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range statement of public policy. According to Chapter 213 of the Texas Local Government Code, a comprehensive plan may: • Include but is not limited to provisions on land use, transportation and public facilities; • Consist of a single plan or a coordinated set of plans organized by subject and geographic area; • Be used to coordinate and guide the establishment of development regulations. Legal Authority The right for a community to plan is rooted in the Texas Local Government Code. The following are the specific chapters which directly relate to the Town’s ability to plan. • Chapter 211: Allows the governing body of a community to regulate zoning. • Chapter 212: Allows the governing body of a community to regulate subdivision development within the City and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). • Chapter 213: Allows the governing body of a community to create a comprehensive plan for the long-range development of the community and to address a wide range of issues including land use and transportation. When putting together a puzzle, it is often helpful to know what the ultimate outcome of the puzzle will be. While you would still be able to assemble the puzzle without the vision, knowing your ultimate vision makes assembling the puzzle much easier. The Comprehensive Plan works in this same fashion…it serves as the vision and makes assembling the various pieces of the development puzzle much easier. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 269 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 2 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Planning to Plan The Town of Prosper sits at an exciting and determining point in its history. Decisions made now will have a lasting physical impact on the Town for generations to come. The Town has a significant amount of vacant land, and while many pre-arranged development agreements currently exist, the ultimate objective of this Plan is to set policies and a vision to ultimately guide such developments, ensuring that all development that occurs within Prosper is compatible and fits into the community’s long term vision. This 2012 Comprehensive Plan (Plan) will serve as the compass, or guide for the long-term growth of the Town. The following Plan will include an examination of the following issues: • Future Land Use; • Livability; • Transportation; • Economic Analysis; and • Infrastructure. A comprehensive plan, however visionary, must also be rooted in the present. Therefore, prior to examining the above elements, it will be important and helpful to understand where Prosper is today and what planning efforts have been conducted prior to this Plan. This starting point, or baseline analysis, will allow coordination with previous planning efforts. This examination will be helpful to establish an understanding of Prosper’s population growth, housing characteristics, existing land use, physical constraints and past planning efforts. Over the past several decades, rapid development has defined the northern side of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan Area. The DFW Metro Area is now ranked as the 4th largest metropolitan area in the nation and is expected to nearly double in size by the year 2050. Growth is not a question, but is inevitable. Community planning, a vision accompanied by guiding policies, will help ensure that Prosper develops in an orderly fashion, considering and respecting, among other things, data relating to income, education levels, ethnicity as well as the physical values of the community. Community planning will protect the quality of life which makes Prosper one of DFW’s most livable communities. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 270 Item 7. 3 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Regional Relationship The Town of Prosper is located at the northern edge of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area, in western Collin County and eastern Denton County. The Town’s immediate neighbors include Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm. The Town of Prosper is currently situated at the northern terminus of the Dallas North Tollway and future expansions will take the Tollway through the Town. The Tollway provides direct access to Downtown Dallas as well as to other major regional highways, such as Highway 121/Sam Rayburn Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike and IH 635/LBJ. Highway 380, traversing the southern border of the Town, provides access to the cities of McKinney and Denton and to Interstate 35 and US 75/Central Expressway.

PLANNING CONTEXT 4 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Population Analysis Examining historical population growth trends helps to tell the story of how Prosper has grown in the past and may give some insight into how Prosper may grow in the future. There are a number of different variables that must be considered when examining population growth trends, but one of the primary factors is location. Communities in rural areas, not adjacent to a major metropolitan area, typically experience very gradual yet steady growth over time. Many rural communities experience very little growth at all, and in some cases experience negative growth, or decline. Communities near metropolitan areas, however, are characterized differently. Typically speaking, communities on the fringe of metropolitan areas began as rural, somewhat isolated communities characterized by slow but steady growth. Eventually, the urbanized/ developed area encroaches on these rural communities causing a period of very rapid and robust growth until the community reaches its carrying capacity, or build-out. At this point, the growth rapidly slows once again. This pattern has characterized growth within the North Dallas region. Garland, Richardson, Plano, Frisco and McKinney are all examples of this type of growth. When examining historical growth patterns for the Town of Prosper, we see that Prosper, too, fits into this type of growth pattern. In 1970, the community contained only 500 residents. Between 1970 and 2000, the community added approximately 1600 residents. Since 2000, however, the Town has added over 26,283 new residents, indicating that Prosper has reached a period of rapid and robust growth. Although impossible to predict the future housing market, reasonable assumptions seem to indicate that this period of rapid growth over the past 20 years was not an accident, but is indicative of the rapid northern expansion of the DFW Metropolitan Area. Based on this assumption, it is likely that rapid and robust growth will continue to characterize Prosper for decades to come. 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Year Population Change Growth CAGR* 1970 501 - - 8.6% 1980 675 174 34.7% 1990 1,018 343 50.8% 2000 2,097 1,079 106.0% 2010 9,350 7,253 345.9% 2020 28,380 19,030 203.53% *Compound Annual Growth Rate Source: United States Census, 2020 numbers from Prosper, TX. Population Synopsis From 1970 to 2020, the Town of Prosper experienced relatively fast, but steady, population growth. Since 2000, however, the Town has experienced very rapid and robust growth and reached a population of 28,380 residents according to the NCTCOG Population estimates. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is a method of analyzing annual average rates of growth. Between 1970 and 2020, Prosper experienced a CAGR of 8.6 percent. Generally speaking, this is a high rate of growth for a community. Since 2000, the CAGR for the community has risen dramatically to 14.7 percent. 2020: 28,380 2010: 9,350 PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 272 Item 7. 5 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Regional Growth 2010 U.S. Census numbers provided insight into just how rapidly the State of Texas, and its metropolitan areas, are growing. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area added nearly 1,200,000 people during the 2010-2020 period. Collin County, in particular, has experienced some of the most robust growth over the past several decades. Collin County alone added nearly 200,000 new residents between 2000 and 2010 and nearly 261,000 new residents between 2010 and 2020. Over 1 million residents call Collin County home and Denton County is home to more than 900,000 residents. Between 1970 and 2000, Little Elm and Frisco experienced the fastest rates of growth. Since 2010, however, Celina and Prosper have experienced the highest compounded growth rates at 15.1% and 13.0% respectively. It is also important to note that Prosper and every one of its neighboring communities experienced higher rates of growth over the past decade than in the prior years. This indicates that growth within Prosper and its neighbors is increasing.

External factors seem to indicate that growth years within Collin County will likely continue in the foreseeable future. Likewise, with the extension of the Dallas North Tollway through Prosper, it is very likely that rapid growth within the Town will also continue.

PLANNING CONTEXT 6 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Housing Characteristics Household type refers to how the people who live within a household are related, if they do not live alone. Generally speaking, Prosper contains a large number of married-couple households and households with children under the age of 18. Within Prosper, the average household size is 3.42 persons per household (PPH) for single family dwelling units and 1.9 persons per household for multifamily units. The PPH for single family dwelling units is significantly higher than the State average of 2.81 PPH, Frisco at 2.9 PPH, and Celina at 3.22 PPH. Prosper currently has the highest PPH compared to the surrounding municipalities. This data indicates a large number of families call Prosper home. Occupancy rate is an important indicator of the local housing market and housing saturation. A high occupancy rate may indicate an immediate need for additional housing stock to accommodate new population growth. A low occupancy rate may indicate an oversaturation of homes in the housing market. Typically, healthy cities have at least a 90% occupancy rate, something fairly common in the rapidly growing DFW area. According to North Central Texas Council of Governments, Prosper currently has a 96.4% occupancy rate for single family dwelling units. This is indicative of a healthy housing saturation. NCTCOG also indicated the Town has a 94.6% occupancy rate for multifamily units. This too is a very healthy multifamily saturation rate. At this time the single family occupancy rate for surrounding municipalities is unavailable however, the owner occupancy rate is available to demonstrate that Prosper is a primarily owner occupied community. 78.1% 73.9% 75.8% 66.5% 86.5% 0%50%100% Celina Frisco Little Elm McKinney Prosper Owner Occupied Housing Units 3.22 2.9 3.4 3.0 3.42 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 3 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 Persons per Household (PPH) Household Type Family Households 85.1% Non-Family Households 14.9% Of the total Family Households, 53.1% have children under the age of 18, 75.2% are married couple households, 3% are single parent male households, and 6.9% are single female parent households. 12.1% of the total households in Prosper are householder living alone. Source: American Community Survey PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 274 Item 7. 7 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Existing Land Use The land uses of the Town of Prosper are predominantly characterized by vacant land. Within the Town boundaries, the majority of land, 57%, is currently vacant. In 2012, 80% of the land was vacant and is the basis of the 2012 recommendations within the Comprehensive Plan. This is a significant portion of land that will drastically impact the overall urban form of the community as it develops. While a majority of undeveloped property in Prosper has already been zoned, there may be opportunities to work with developers to incorporate the identified community vision. Such opportunities should be pursued, particularly as circumstances arise which necessitate zoning adjustments or changes. When excluding vacant land and only examining developed land, the predominant land use in Prosper is single family residential. Parks & Open Space constitutes the second highest land use followed by public/semi-public and retail. Discussed previously, very little residential variations currently exist. Additionally, in 2020 only 0.27% of the developed land use was occupied by office compared to zero office uses in 2012. ** The land uses have been updated to reflect existing and land under construction through 2020.

PLANNING CONTEXT 8 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Development Patterns The majority of development within Prosper has occurred over the past decade, in conjunction with the rapid increase in population. The vast majority of development has been single family residential, although some retail has been added along Preston Road. Most new residential construction has occurred to the east of Coleman Road and the original town center. Some residential development has begun on the western side of the planning area, with more expected in the near future. A significant number of large-lot homes were constructed in Prosper prior to 2005, coinciding with septic tank requirements that mandate a minimum lot size of 1 acre. As sewer service has been expanded and has become more readily available, lot sizes within new residential areas have become significantly smaller. In 2011, over 80 percent of approved housing permits were on lots under 15,000 square feet in size. In 2011, only 6 building permits were issued to lots at or above one acre in size while 51 permits, approximately 14 percent, were issued on lot sizes under 10,000 square feet. The amount of vacant land within the community is advantageous, because it allows for new development opportunities on undeveloped land, rather than more expensive redevelopment. It will be important to ensure that the thoroughfare plan is coordinated with land use, to ensure that appropriate right-of- way is acquired during the subdivision of land. Additionally, it will be important to ensure connectivity is provided within and between new residential subdivisions, so that upon buildout, a connected street system serves the community. Finally, a significant amount of infill land is available within the community. This land is located between subdivisions and along major roadways. It will be important to ensure that development in these areas is compatible with adjacent residential subdivisions. Large-Lot Residential Vacant Land/Infill Small-Lot Residential PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 276 Item 7. 9 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Physical Development Patterns Local development patterns refer to the factors that have influenced the shape and growth of the Town. Understanding such features creates knowledge of how the Town can grow in the future. These patterns are divided into two primary categories: “Natural Constraints” which examine the geographical aspects of Prosper and “Man-Made Constraints,” which examine features which have been constructed or added to the Town. Natural Constraints Natural features influence what type of development can occur and where such development can occur. Topography, soils, vegetation, and wildlife are all factors which can have a direct effect on development within the Town and are all important factors which should be considered during the planning process. The Town of Prosper is located along a major ridge line which runs to the east of Preston Road. Areas to the west of the ridge line drain into Lake Lewisville. Areas to the east of the ridge line drain toward Lake Lavon. Most topographical variations within Prosper are located along the major ridge line, near Preston Road. While a certain degree of topography exists within Prosper, the relative flatness of Prosper and the surrounding area is advantageous for accommodating future development. The two largest floodplain areas are located in the extreme eastern and western portions of the community; Doe Branch Creek in the west and Wilson Creek and Rutherford Branch Creek in the east. The floodplain areas along Doe Branch Creek, Wilson Creek and Rutherford Branch Creek contain the most natural tree cover within the planning area. Doe Branch Creek Wilson Creek Rutherford Branch Creek PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 277 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 10 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Man-Made Features The importance of man-made features, such as transportation facilities, Town boundaries and infrastructure, are significant factors that greatly influence development patterns. The following discussion relates to the significant man-made features which currently exist within Prosper. Preston Road, Highway 380 and the future Dallas North Tollway are the major arterial roadways within the community. As development occurs, Teel Parkway, Legacy Drive, Coit Road, FM 1385/Gee Road and Custer Road will grow in importance and will provide additional north-to-south corridors within the community. Prosper Trail and First Street will serve as major east-to-west corridors within the community. In addition to these roadways, the Dallas North Tollway will serve as a major transportation addition within the community and will increase accessibility within the community, will provide quick access to the regional highway network and will serve as a catalyst in attracting new development. In the State of Texas, the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) refers to the land that an incorporated community may legally annex for the purpose of planning and accommodating future development. The Town has entered into boundary agreements with Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm and has no plans to expand west of FM 1385 at this time. For this reason, the general planning area for the Town is established and well-defined, allowing the Town to concentrate on the annexation of internal properties. The advantage of a defined Town boundary is knowing exactly where Prosper is able to grow. This enables Town staff to more effectively plan for growth, particularly the necessary infrastructure that will be needed to accommodate future growth within the Town boundaries.

PLANNING CONTEXT 12 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Planning Context In order for this Comprehensive Plan to truly be comprehensive, it will be important to consider the context in which the Plan is being created. The planning context includes a number of different factors including current and past planning efforts, regional initiatives, and external issues that, although may be beyond direct control of the community, have the ability to directly impact growth decisions, primarily the Dallas North Tollway extension. Building upon past planning efforts and considering external factors which impact Prosper’s growth will allow for realistic growth assumptions to be made and will help to ensure a cohesive, inclusive and truly comprehensive plan. Planning Efforts 2004 Comprehensive Plan In 2004, The Town adopted a Comprehensive Plan to guide land use decisions within the community for the next 5 to 10 years. This Plan included the development of a future land use and community framework scenario and also examined the thoroughfare system and infrastructure of the community. It is typically recommended that a Comprehensive Plan be updated every 5 to 10 years, depending upon how rapidly the community is growing. Since 2004, Prosper has continued to grow quite rapidly, necessitating the review and update of the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use decisions made during the 2004 Comprehensive Plan will be examined and evaluated to determine if changes are necessary. Various development plans and agreements have been submitted to or approved by the Town. Updating the Future Land Use Plan will re-examine the community’s vision and values. While the majority of land within Prosper is zoned, an updated Future Land Use Plan will provide the framework for discussions and negotiations with developers as changes to zoning occur. 2004 Future Land Use Plan PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 280 Item 7. 13 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT 2015 Parks Recreation and Open Space Master Plan In 2015, the Town completed a Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan (Parks Plan) to direct the growth of the Town’s parks as the community grows over the next several decades. The importance of the Parks Plan cannot be understated. Parks provide recreational opportunities for community residents and help to increase the overall quality of life of the community. The Town is currently updating on a Hike and Bike Master Plan. Trails provide recreational opportunities for residents to walk, run or bike throughout the community. Trails provide access to open space, parks, schools, community facilities and help to link various areas of the community to one another. As development occurs, incremental implementation of the Parks Plan will occur. Ensuring that it is updated as changes occur, will help the Town leverage and negotiate with developers as vacant land is developed, ultimately enabling the Town to impose a proportional cost of park development on developers. It will be important that the Parks Plan be consulted by Town decision makers as development proposals are received. While slight deviations may be permitted to accommodate site layouts, the location of parks and trails have been chosen for intentional reasons and therefore the general locations of trails and parks should be adhered to as close as possible. Town Lake Park Frontier Park Parks and Trails Master Plan PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 281 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 14 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper 2007 Old Town Core District Amendment In 2007, the Town created the Old Town Core District Amendment to guide the land use development of Old Town. This area serves as the historical core of the community and the visible center of Prosper. While other areas of the community are currently more opportunistic for development due to vacant, available land, the core of the community cannot be forgotten. The history of Prosper is rooted within this area. Commercial, retail, office and single-family residential uses were applied within the Old Town area in addition to areas of green space and the school location. The planning efforts conducted by the Town in 2007 will be built upon during the creation of this Plan in order to ensure consistency. 2007 Old Town Core District Map Historic Grain Silos, Old Town Prosper PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 282 Item 7. 15 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT 2010 Thoroughfare Plan The Town of Prosper completed an update to its Thoroughfare Plan in 2010, re-examining issues and redefining the Town’s roadway network. This Plan will build upon previous work efforts and will seek to coordinate land use decisions with previous transportation efforts. Any changes that result from land use decisions will be included as recommendations within this Plan and should be considered as the future Thoroughfare Plan update is made. 2008-2010 Annexation Plan The Town of Prosper has taken a proactive approach towards defining its planning area. Annexation is a tool that communities use to proactively manage growth and ensure that future growth meets the established standards set by the community. This is particularly important due to the number of Municipal Utility Districts (MUD’s) that have developed along Highway 380, in Celina and other areas around the Metroplex. State law requires any community engaging in annexation to have a three year annexation plan. The annexation plan for Prosper was done in three phases: 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2008 phase included 14 properties that were primarily confined to the center and southeastern areas of the community. The 2009 phase included 12 properties on the northwestern and west central areas of the community. Finally, the 2010 phase included 9 properties on the far western side of the community. Annexation phases coincided with a desire by Town Council to annex everything inside the Town’s boundaries defined by boundary agreements with Frisco, McKinney, Celina and Little Elm (FM 1385, Frontier/Parvin, Custer and Highway 380). With the exception of the Artesia Municipal Utility District, only a few parcels of land remain to be annexed within the Town’s boundaries. Artesia may be considered for annexation at some point in the future. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 283 Item 7. PLANNING CONTEXT 16 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper Prosper ISD Throughout the planning process, schools have been identified as one of the single most important features of the Town. As the Town continues to grow, it is of prime importance that the exemplary status and reputation of Prosper’s schools be maintained. While the Town and Prosper Independent School District operate as two separate entities, they are inevitably related to each other. Growth in the Town increases the overall tax base and provides revenue for the School District. Additionally, excellent schools enable the Town to continue to attract new residents and new development. The Town and Prosper ISD should therefore be in direct communication, clearly identifying areas of growth and assessing future educational needs. Communication between the Town and PISD will inevitably allow for coordinated infrastructure decisions, such as when new roads allowing access to new schools should be constructed. The Town and Prosper ISD should also coordinate on population growth rates and potential future school locations. Establishing a working relationship between the two entities will benefit the Town, PISD and the residents of Prosper themselves. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 284 Item 7. 17 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan PLANNING CONTEXT Regional Initiatives North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) NCTCOG is the metropolitan planning organization that encompasses the 16 county North Texas region. NCTCOG works to promote orderly and balanced growth within the North Texas region. The metropolitan transportation plan created by NCTCOG, known as Mobility 2035, contains a number of different components including arterial roadway networks, freeways, rail transit and a Veloweb Network (regional trail system). Coordination with NCTCOG will help to streamline projects within Prosper, particularly if outside funding is desired or necessary. Typically, funding is awarded to projects which show planning and coordination at multiple levels. Ensuring that future roadway and transportation plans by the Town are coordinated with NCTCOG will help Prosper attract investment from both the public and private sector and will ensure that roadways are better coordinated between adjacent communities. In addition to transportation, there are various grants that are awarded to communities in North Texas by NCTCOG. These grants are used to incentivize regional cooperation without requiring compliance. NCTCOG has established the Center of Development Excellence which provides 12 guiding principles that it recommends communities to consider. Communities in North Texas are encouraged to incorporate these principles, where best applicable, and are awarded grants and additional funding to help communities with some of the initial costs, studies and plans associated with quality planning. 12 Principles • Development Diversity • Efficient Growth • Pedestrian Design • Housing Choice • Activity Centers • Environmental Stewardship • Quality Places • Efficient Mobility Options • Resource Efficiency • Educational Opportunity • Healthy Communities • Implementation www.developmentexcellence.com PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 285 Item 7. 18 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Community Vision A fundamental component of the comprehensive planning process evolves around the vision of the community. The importance of the vision cannot be overstated—the vision guides land use decisions and allows Town staff and decision makers to determine whether or not decisions are ultimately in conformance with the long term vision for Prosper, as defined by its residents. In other words, the vision is the roadmap that guides decisions within the community and serves as the basis for the Future Land Use Plan and policy recommendations. For this Plan, the visioning process was guided by a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) and included several deliberate exercises. The visioning process included: • Seven CPAC Meetings • CPAC SWOT Analysis • CPAC Visual Character Survey (VCS) • Two Town Hall Meetings • Town Hall Brainstorming Groups • A Public Visual Character Survey on the Town’s website • Public Hearings During Adoption. The following pages contain the who and the what of the visioning process, highlighting the various groups involved, exercises used and preliminary results derived from the visioning process. Every community is distinctive and has its own set of values, aspirations and objectives. The purpose of the visioning section is to determine the ultimate vision of the community based upon resident input. Unique, Distinctive, Exceptional The community vision is used to guide the formation of the comprehensive plan and is ultimately used by decision makers as they weigh the vision with development proposals and future opportunities. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 286 Item 7. 19 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) A committee of community residents and business owners was compiled in order to assist in the development of the Plan. Committee members were selected based upon a variety of criteria including the area of the community where they reside, past or current council experience, economic development knowledge and business ownership. The CPAC’s role in the process was to guide the formation of the Plan document and ensure that the Plan created ultimately reflected the vision desired by Prosper residents. Seven meetings were conducted with the CPAC: • Orientation Meeting on May 2, 2011 • Visioning Meeting on June 6, 2011 • Future Land Use Meeting on September 12, 2011 • Livability Meeting on October 10, 2011 • Economic Analysis, Transportation and Infrastructure Assessment on November 14th, 2011 • Transportation Continued and Plan Review on December 14, 2011 • Town Hall Review and Final Comments on March 19, 2012 All CPAC meetings were conducted at 6:30 p.m. and were open to the public. Community residents and representatives from the development community were present at several meetings. Energized and productive discussions were had at CPAC meetings, representative of the diverse opinions and backgrounds present on the committee. The exchange of ideas with various points of view ensured a thorough process where the realities of external factors affecting Prosper were weighted with the ultimate vision of the Town.

The primary benefit of visioning is that it clarifies how a community will approach its critical planning, development and growth issues. With the clarified approach that visioning provides, the resulting Plan will better address the future of the Town in a manner that is reflective of the community’s interests. The vision statement for a community should describe the community as it will ideally exist in the future. A vision statement spells out goals or values at a high level and promotes what the Town should become. The vision statement for this Plan is as follows: Prosper is a community committed to excellence. It is a high quality, family oriented community maintaining a visually aesthetic open feel with quality commercial development directed to the Town’s major transportation corridors all while maintaining strong fiscal responsibility. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 288 Item 7. 21 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Visual Character Survey A Visual Character Survey (VCS) is a technique in which respondents are asked to score a series of photographs based on what they find to be visually preferable for Prosper. The images used are selected in order to illustrate different aesthetic, architectural, and visual elements within any particular built environment and are used in order to quantify exactly what types of developments are desired and appropriate for Prosper. Although the VCS is not necessarily scientific in nature, it is an effective method of receiving attitudinal, aesthetic-based input. Three VCS surveys were conducted for this Plan. The first survey was conducted with the CPAC at the June 6, 2011 meeting. The second VCS was made available through the Town’s website following the Town Hall meeting. Town Hall attendees were given a passcode in order to take this VCS. The third and final VCS was made available to the general public through the Town’s website and contained no passcode. This survey remained available for approximately 3 weeks. A total of 434 residents participated in the online VCS for the community. The VCS for Prosper was divided into 8 categories: • Dallas North Tollway • Preston Road • Highway 380 • Housing Mix • Street Design • Signage • BNSF • Public Space PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 289 Item 7. 22 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Town Hall #1 A Town Hall meeting was conducted on Monday June 27, 2011. The purpose of the Town Hall meeting was to gather feedback from the public on what the vision for Prosper should be. Over 140 residents from the community attended the event that was held at Prosper High School. Town Hall attendees were first given an introduction to the planning process. During this presentation, an overview of past planning efforts, existing conditions and growth patterns within our region was explained. The presentation concluded by informing residents of the planning process as well as introducing members of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee to attendees. A visioning exercise was conducted with attendees in order to engage the public and gather initial feedback on Prosper’s future. Topic tables were arranged so that each participant in attendance would rotate to each of the following tables: • Land Use/Corridors; • Transportation; • Housing; • Livability; and • Community Identity. At each of the tables, a member of the CPAC, Town staff or consultant guided discussion on each group’s major issues, concerns or ideas. Issues gathered were then compiled and presented to the CPAC to guide discussion on elements within the Plan. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 290 Item 7. 23 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY VISION Town Hall #2 On February 13, 2012, a Town Hall meeting was conducted at Prosper High School in order to present the Draft Comprehensive Plan to the public and to gather comments and feedback from the public on plan recommendations. Over 275 attendees were present at the meeting. Attendees participated in round table discussions where individualized feedback on plan recommendations was obtained. Participants were asked whether the Draft Plan accurately described the vision for Prosper, if there were any components of the plan that excited them, if there were components of the plan that concerned them and finally were asked to prioritize a list of issues based upon their personal order of importance. The information collected from Town Hall attendees was then tabulated in order to identify consistent themes and priorities from the public.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 291 Item 7. 24 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY VISION Community Goals Community goals are created to direct the formation of the Plan. They are practical yet general points under which more specific objectives may be located. The goals for the Plan are purposely designed to cover a wide array of individual objectives, but were specifically crafted to address many of the comments, issues, ideas and concerns defined during the visioning portion of the Plan’s creation. The following goals are intended to provide a framework for the creation of applicable and economically feasible land use decisions and special districts. The goals are also intended to establish guidelines for preserving Prosper’s neighborhoods and creating quality new residential areas, maintaining and enhancing Prosper’s quality of life and physical characteristics, providing a safe and attractive transportation network and ultimately ensuring that the Town’s infrastructure systems will be adequate to accommodate 20-year growth. Plan objectives are located within the Implementation Chapter of this Plan. Goal 1: Provide a variety of land uses, in accordance with the vision of Prosper residents, which diversify the tax base and enable all types of people to live, work, shop, eat and relax in Prosper. Goal 2: Maintain and enhance the high quality of life and small-town feel currently available and expected by Prosper residents. Goal 3: Protect the quality and integrity of Prosper’s neighborhoods. Goal 4: Require high-quality and visually attractive architectural characteristics in both residential and non-residential developments. Goal 5: Develop quality, open roadways that enhance the Town’s rural image, are compatible with adjacent development and provide safe and convenient traffic movements. Goal 6: Ensure that water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure systems are able to meet future growth demands. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 292 Item 7. 25 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Future Land Use The right of a municipality to coordinate growth is rooted in its need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of local citizens. An important part of establishing the guidelines for such responsibility is the Future Land Use Plan, which establishes an overall framework for the preferred pattern of development within Prosper. In general, the Future Land Use Plan is intended solely to be a comprehensive blueprint of Prosper’s vision for its future land use pattern. Specifically, the Future Land Use Plan designates various areas within the Town for particular land uses, based principally on the specific land use policies outlined herein. The Future Land Use Plan is graphically depicted for use during the development plan review process with the Future Land Use Plan map. The Future Land Use Plan should ultimately be reflected through the Town’s policy and development decisions. The Future Land Use Plan map is not a zoning map, which deals with specific development requirements on individual parcels. The zoning map and changes in zoning should, however, be based on the Future Land Use Plan and related Future Land Use Plan map. Legal Authority Authority of a community to create a comprehensive plan is rooted in Chapters 211, 212 and 213 of the Texas Local Government Code. Chapter 211 Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the government body of a community to regulate zoning. Chapter 212 Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the governing body of a community to regulate subdivision development within the community limits and also within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) which varies depending upon the population of the community. Chapter 213 Chapter 213 of the Texas Local Government Code allows the governing body of a community to create a comprehensive plan for the “long- range development of the municipality.” Basic recommendations for comprehensive planning are to address land use, transportation and public facilities, but may also include a wide variety of other issues determined by the community. It is important to note that a comprehensive plan is NOT a zoning ordinance, but rather is intended to be used as a tool to guide development, infrastructure and land use decisions in the future. The comprehensive plan does, however, serve as a basis on which zoning decisions are made, as specified by Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Development Code. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 293 Item 7. 26 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Process The Future Land Use Plan was derived through a defined and deliberate process. Existing land uses, development agreements and planned developments were combined with extensive public input in order to create a Future Land Use Plan that is both realistic, attainable and reflects the public’s vision for Prosper’s future. The first consideration was existing land use. Existing land use includes analyzing past development trends and working to ensure that future growth occurring within the community coincides with existing development patterns and does not negatively impact the integrity of existing neighborhoods. An examination of potential planned developments was the second step. This involved an understanding of existing development agreements that are in place within Prosper. Understanding what types of development may occur in the future helps to determine what the adjacent land uses should be. Finally, an extensive public input process was conducted with the general public and the CPAC. The public and CPAC described the characteristics which should define Prosper and identified many of the needs within the community. Additionally, a VCS was conducted with attendees of the CPAC, Town Hall meeting and the general public. A significant number of responses were received and the results of the survey helped to determine the visual aesthetics and development characteristics that were felt to be appropriate within Prosper. The results of this process ultimately concluded in a land use scenario for the Town. This land use scenario is not a mandate, but should be used to guide Town staff and decision makers as development intensifies in the coming years. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 294 Item 7. 27 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Types Residential Low Density This land use is indicative of large-lot single- family homes. Typically speaking, lot sizes within any low density development will range between 15,000 square feet and 1+ acre in size. While a variety of lot sizes may be used, the total gross density of low density residential neighborhoods should not exceed 1.6 dwelling units per acre. Large-lot homes will provide a continuation of the rural atmosphere and feel that was intensely expressed by Prosper’s residents. Most low density residential areas will be located in Northwest and Northeast Prosper. Residential Medium Density Medium density residential is also representative of single family detached dwelling units. Lot sizes in medium density residential neighborhoods could range between 12,500 and 20,000 square feet in size. A variation in lot sizes may be permitted to achieve a goal range in density. While a variety of lot sizes may be used within medium density residential neighborhoods, the gross density of such developments will typically not be less than 1.6 dwelling units per acre or greater than 2.5 dwelling units per acre. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 295 Item 7. 28 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Residential High Density High density residential represents the most intense residential land uses permitted in Prosper. High density single family uses will consist of developments greater than 2.5 dwelling units per acre and lot sizes smaller than 10,000 square feet. Within Prosper, the high-density residential district is reflective of the Artesia development, where single family residential lot sizes and dwelling units per acre will be substantially higher than the rest of the community. High density residential may be located within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town Districts. In such areas, high density residential may take the form of multifamily or single family attached dwelling units and may include mixed-use lofts/apartments, patio homes, snout houses, brownstones and townhomes. Retail and Neighborhood Services Neighborhood services typically include retail establishments that provide merchandise for retail sale, banks, neighborhood office and small medical offices. Retail uses are particularly important because they contribute to Prosper’s tax base through both property and sales taxes, making their inclusion attractive and often times competitive. Within Prosper, neighborhood service uses will likely occur at major intersections along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380 and Preston Road corridors. Neighborhood service uses should also be strategically placed along the Town’s perimeter in order to attract patrons from neighboring communities, enhancing sales tax revenue opportunities. The majority of neighborhood service activity within Prosper will likely be included within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 296 Item 7. 29 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Dallas North Tollway District The Dallas North Tollway district will consist of the most intense land uses within Prosper. A diverse mixture of office, retail and residential will likely develop along the corridor. Mid-rise office (up to 12 stories) may be permitted throughout the corridor. Office buildings should be designed for a “campus feel”—they should be oriented towards common public space with significant landscaping and should be linked by a pedestrian network. A common architectural theme should also be established for a consistent visual appearance. Mixed-use development should be encouraged and should contain a mixture of office, retail and residential uses. Mixed-use lofts/apartments would be the most appropriate residential use within this district. Structured parking should be encouraged in more intense areas to limit the presence and visibility of large parking lots. Structured parking should be oriented in a way that minimizes visibility from the Tollway. Highway 380 District Much like the Dallas North Tollway district, the Highway 380 district will contain a variety of different uses. The major contrast between Highway 380 and other districts will be the inclusion of a big box development and commercial service uses. Types of appropriate commercial include hotels, banks, vehicle refilling stations with a convenience store, home service centers with outside storage, garden center with outside storage and other similar uses which serve the community but are not necessarily desired on Preston Road or within the Dallas North Tollway corridor. Residential land uses may be appropriate within certain areas, particularly away from major intersections where retail and commercial will be the highest and best land use. Residential land uses may include patio homes, snout houses, townhomes and brownstones. These residential areas may serve as a buffer between more intense activity along Highway 380 and low density residential areas to the north. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 297 Item 7. 30 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Town Center District The Town Center district is a continuation of the area defined by previous planning efforts as a future location for a large scale mixed-use development. The Town Center would include a mixture of land uses but development will be less intense than that located along Highway 380 and the Dallas North Tollway. Retail, small scale office, and residential uses would be included within this district, but the primary intent should be focused on dining and shopping. Public space should be a major component of this area, creating space for families and residents of Prosper to meet and socialize. Open space located within the Town Center could be used for community events, festivals and school events. Urban design should accommodate the pedestrian while providing automobile access and discreet parking. Residential uses may include mixed- use lofts/apartments, patio homes, townhomes and brownstones. Areas of single family residential may also be permitted, particularly on the northern side where the development abuts the Old Town district. Old Town District The Old Town district is the heart of Prosper. This historic area of the community is intended to include a variety of boutique type land uses, ranging from unique and local retail establishments, restaurants and offices. Many of the historic homes within the Old Town district, particularly areas along First Street and Broadway, may gradually convert to boutique office and retail establishments. The most opportunistic possibility for a transit stop, if desired by future residents, would be within the Old Town district, which could facilitate redevelopment of the downtown area. If this occurs, high density residential options, such as live-above lofts/apartments, may be considered. The historic past of the community should be preserved. The community’s beginnings as a farm community in rural Collin County are part of what defines Prosper, and these attributes should be preserved as new infill development occurs. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 298 Item 7. 31 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Business Park A Business Park district, located to the west of the BNSF Railroad between Prosper Trial and First Street, will include a variety of potential land uses including light industrial, commercial warehousing, office storage and commercial uses with outside storage. While outside storage will likely occur and be necessary within this district, significant effort should be placed on the visual integrity of the district, particularly when located in higher visibility areas. When such uses abut roadways, larger landscape setbacks, such as 40 feet setbacks, that include berms and evergreen shrubs/trees should be used to protect the visual integrity of roadways and the public view. All outside storage should also be screened from public view and from adjacent properties. The location of the BNSF railroad and close proximity to the Dallas North Tollway provide the Business Park with significant accessibility. Uses located along First Street, Prosper Trail and other perimeter areas should incorporate a higher degree of landscaping and architectural design in order to protect the visual integrity of Prosper’s roadways.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 300 Item 7. 33 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Acreages Based upon the Future Land Use Scenario, medium density residential will constitute the largest future land use within Prosper at 35 %, followed by low density residential at 34%. In terms of non- residential development, the Dallas North Tollway district will be the largest commercial district constituting 9% of the total land use in Prosper, followed by the Highway 380 district at 8%. In total, 73% of the total land in Prosper will be reserved for residential uses with the remaining 27% being a combination of retail, office, commercial and high density residential. Ultimate Capacity The ultimate capacity for Prosper is based on the Future Land Use Scenario. Certain assumptions were made in order to calculate the Ultimate Capacity. For low density residential, lot sizes greater than 15,000 square feet, 1.2 dwelling units per acre was used for our assumptions. For the purpose of estimating ultimate capacity, medium density residential includes lot sizes between 10 and 20,000 square feet in size. For purposes of our assumptions, an average of 2.3 dwelling units per acre was assumed for medium density residential. High density single family residential is indicative of Artesia. Artesia is an existing Municipal Utility District, located in Prosper’s ETJ in Denton County, which has the right to develop 2,170 single family lots and 600 multifamily units. While Artesia is not currently located within the Town of Prosper, it is located in the Town’s planning area and therefore, is included in this Plan. Based upon actual dwelling units and acreage, a high density single family density of 4.8 DUA and multifamily density of 20 DUA was used. Conservative estimates based upon developer agreements, planned developments and Town zoning indicate that over 5,000 more high density dwelling units may be built in Prosper. This number constitutes nearly 30% of the total dwelling units. Figure 4: Future Land Use Acreage PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 301 Item 7. 34 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER 2012 Estimated Buildout Capacity Population Projections Based upon the future land use scenario and the previous assumptions, the ultimate capacity for Prosper is approximately 72,095 residents, as delineated below. Changes in overall development patterns that deviate from the Plan’s recommendations could significantly impact the ultimate capacity of the community. The Artesia development is within Prosper’s ETJ and is not included the Prosper population numbers provided by NCTCOG or the US Census Bureau.

Generally, livability reflects the characteristics, aesthetics, design and social aspects of Prosper that make the Town unique and which help to establish a sense of community. There are many intangibles that make a place livable, such as a sense of community, a strong sense of place in particular areas, civic pride and the friendliness of neighbors. There are also tangible aspects that can promote livability as well. Prosper is a unique community with its own values and vision. The following section describes in more detail some of those tangible aspects that, when tailored to fit the needs and vision of Prosper, can help the Town to grow in a manner that enhances the quality of its neighborhoods and helps to create vibrant retail establishments. This section is intended to describe, in more detail, the characteristics of the Future Land Use Plan and is intended to be used to guide decision makers what the public believes the character of Prosper should be as it grows. This section includes a discussion of various land use concepts and how they apply to Prosper, general neighborhood characteristics, housing mix, corridors and image enhancement. It should be noted a significant number of pictures in this section were taken directly from the Visual Character Survey that was made available to the public during August 2011. Livability Guidelines • Preserve small-town, rural feel • Maintain open spaces that create a quiet, open feel • Provide a range of housing in Prosper, taking into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicities. • “Raise the bar” on development/ attract quality development • Attract neighborhood services, such as a grocery store • Build a system of connected parks and trails for outdoor recreation • Clearly brand and identify Prosper through gateways and other identifying features • Provide entertainment venues for families • Create high quality mixed-use centers where residents may shop, dine, socialize and live • Enhance Old Town Prosper PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 303 Item 7. 36 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Land Use Concepts Mixed-Use Mixed-use refers to a development style that combines a mix of land uses within one defined zoning district. For example, residential, retail, restaurants, office and public uses may be allowed in the same building, same lot, same tract, block or zoning district. Benefits of mixed-use development include: • Flexibility of building spaces over time; • Long term viability of commercial districts; • Providing higher quality high density residences; • Inclusion of public facilities; • Reduction in the frequency of vehicular trips; and • Minimizing land consumption. Mixed-use developments are defined by their design—building orientation, roadway configuration and amenities such as shade trees, benches and lighting create a safe environment that is conducive for walking. Intentional integration of diverse land uses within one localized area creates a lifestyle option where a person can perform many of their daily needs and recreational desires within a short distance of home. Such environments are particularly attractive to young professionals, young couples and empty nesters. Mixed-uses are typically either horizontal or vertical in nature. Horizontal mixed-uses involve retail, office and residential all located within one defined area, but within separate buildings. Vertical mixed-use developments would include any combination of retail, office and residential within the same building. A common example of vertical mixed-use is residential lofts and apartments above street- level retail and office space. General Guidelines • Reduced Setbacks: bring building facades closer to the street. • Central Gathering Space or Focal Point: Create an identity through public space. • Pedestrian Orientation: Facilitate the pedestrian experience through quality urban design. Ensure access and connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods. • Architecture: moldings, spires, canopies, balconies and building locations all create a sense of identity and contribute to the experience. • Strategic Parking: utilize shared parking, on-street parking, parking behind buildings and structured parking. • Connectivity: mixed use areas should be tied in to adjacent residential development. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 304 Item 7. 37 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER What does mixed-use development look like in Prosper? We asked the community in a public Visual Character Survey. The highest rated mixed-use pictures are shown below. Past planning efforts, including the Town’s previous comprehensive plan, have indicated that the most opportunistic location for a Town Center, a large mixed-use district, would be the area roughly bounded by First Street to the north, Highway 380 to the south, BNSF Railroad to the west and Preston Road to the east. This area is currently identified as a planned development by the Town’s zoning ordinance. Within Prosper, mixed-use areas may be appropriate along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts, as shown below. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 305 Item 7. 38 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Horizontal and Vertical Mixed-Use Development Mixed-use developments that include a range of land uses incorporated within the same building, but typically at different levels, are referred to as vertical mixed-use developments. Common examples of vertical integration include apartments and lofts over ground level retail and office uses. Examples of vertical mixed-use developments are Shops at Legacy in Plano, Watters Creek in Allen and the West Village/State-Thomas areas of Dallas. Vertical mixed-use development was preferred by Prosper residents. Horizontal mixed-use development is representative of a mixture of uses within close proximity to each other, but not necessarily within the same building. Horizontal mixed-use developments typically include residential uses along the periphery of the larger development area, separate from a more intense retail and office core. An example of horizontal mixed- use development is Southlake Town Center. The central area of the Town Center includes retail and office uses with residential townhomes located on the periphery of the development, primarily on the east side. Two factors considered when determining whether vertical or horizontal integration should be utilized are land availability and land value. In more intense areas of development, land values are typically higher and land availability may be significantly less. In such locations, vertical integration, and higher densities (up to 5 stories), would be most appropriate. In Prosper, vertical integration of mixed uses will likely occur within the Dallas North Tollway and Town Center districts. Horizontal mixed-use integration typically occurs where land availability and value can accommodate an overall lower density. Here, 1-3 story retail and office may be surrounded by townhomes, patio homes, multi-unit homes and other less intense uses. In Prosper, horizontal mixed uses will likely occur within the Highway 380 and Town Center districts. Vertical Mixed-Use • Characteristics o Multiple uses within the same building o Live-above lofts and apartments o More urban in nature o 4-5 story height for buildings with residential uses located above the first floor o Structured Parking • Considerations o Consume less land o Land value (density to maximize value) o Higher density (typically more urban ) Vertical Mixed-Use Horizontal Mixed-Use • Characteristics o Multiple uses within a planned areas, but not necessarily within the same building o 1-3 story heights/lower density nature o Areas of apartments, townhomes, brown stones, patio homes and multi- unit homes around the periphery, buffering low-density neighborhoods. o Structured parking or rear parking/rear entry garages • Considerations o Consume more land o With buffering, may be located near residential areas along HWY 380 Horizontal Mixed-Use PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 306 Item 7. 39 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Transit Oriented Development If transit oriented development becomes a desire in Prosper, it should reflect the Town’s values and should be customized to fit the Town’s built environment. As the Town and DFW region continue to grow, and as the regional transit network becomes more established, transit may become a more viable and desired option for Prosper residents, particularly for commuters. Feedback received from the Town Hall indicates that transit is not desired at the current time. While rail transit may not be an immediate need and may not be realistically achieved for some time, discussion with the CPAC indicated that it may be in the best interest of the Town to identify a potential location for a rail stop and allow future residents to determine whether or not rail will be appropriate if the 19.5 mile line to Celina becomes a reality. If the North Carrolton to Celina Line is constructed, the train will traverse the center of Prosper multiple times daily. If this scenario occurs, it was expressed that rail should be used to benefit the community, particularly as an economic development asset. If transit oriented development becomes a desire in Prosper, it should reflect the Town’s values and should be customized to fit the Town’s built environment. If the desire for rail connectivity arises in the future, the most appropriate location for a future transit stop, and for transit oriented development, may be in the Old Town district of the community, likely at the intersection of the BNSF railroad and First Street. In addition to an existing rail line, the Old Town district contains the historical past of the Town and therefore presents many opportunities for a mixture of preservation and redevelopment—a theme consistent with what community residents indicated during visioning exercises. A station in Old Town should be architecturally and aesthetically compatible with the development in the Town Center and Old Town districts. As Prosper continues to grow, development and redevelopment of the Old Town area may become more realistic. If transit is deemed appropriate in the future, its location in Old Town may help to bring a unique mix of business, restaurants and offices to the Old Town core. The ultimate decision on whether or not transit is appropriate for Prosper should be left to future residents and future Town Councils to decide. If the desire for rail connectivity arises in the future, the most PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 307 Item 7. 40 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Context Sensitive Solutions Context sensitive solutions is the practice of developing transportation projects that serve all users and meet the needs of the neighborhoods through which they pass. It is a collaborative process that involves Town staff, property owners, developers and business owners in development of street designs that fit into the character of surrounding neighborhoods while maintaining safety and mobility. The key is that elements of the street should complement the context of surrounding or adjacent development in order to generate a “roadway experience” and therefore the roadway may take on certain characteristics to support and be compatible with adjacent development. The process of designing CSS roadways is similar to the process of designing traditional thoroughfares in that automobile traffic is considered with traffic counts, traffic demand and level of service information-gathering efforts. The difference is that in addition to automobile traffic, other elements, such as pedestrian traffic, building form and land use, are also carefully considered. The CSS approach recommends designing thoroughfares based upon: • Community objectives • Functional classes • Thoroughfare types • Adjacent land use • Environmental considerations In order to design accordingly, decision makers must understand the key relationship between transportation and land use, particularly the flexibility that may be needed in roadway design in order to accommodate a thoroughfare to changing urban form within the community. Understanding key community objectives for land use within the community is also important in order to ensure that public infrastructure investments are in line with ultimate land use objectives. A roadway may traverse a wide range of land uses. It is important to design the roadway considering its role and impact in each particular area. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 308 Item 7. 41 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Coleman Road is a prime example of an application of context sensitive solutions in Prosper. Coleman Road will transition as it traverses the community. The southern portion of Coleman Road will traverse the Town Center. In this area, it must consider the more intense development that will likely be located within the Town Center and its focus will be primarily placed on moving traffic and safely accommodating the pedestrian. As the roadway moves into the Old Town district, it must respect the character of Old Town. The roadway will likely narrow and head-in and parallel parking will likely be utilized. Other pedestrian amenities, such as bulb outs, street trees and enhanced sidewalks may be considered. As Coleman Road continues to the north of Old Town, it will transition into a residential thoroughfare with more lanes added and on-street parking removed. Context Sensitive Principles • Satisfies purpose and needs as agreed to by a full range of stakeholders • Safe facility for user and community • Project in harmony with community, preserves natural, aesthetic, historic and natural resource values of the area • Project exceeds the expectations of designers and stakeholders— achieves a level of excellence. • Project involves efficient and effective use of resources • Designed and built with minimal disruption to community • Project seen to have lasting value to the community An ITE Recommended Practice: Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities (2006) Safe and attractive roadways for pedestrians and traffic in retail areas On-street parking in historic areas or high pedestrian areas Transition into residential areas PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 309 Item 7. 42 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Building Orientation Building orientation has the ability to significantly affect the appearance of the community. Over the past several decades, strip shopping centers have been defined by large setbacks and with parking areas located between the building and the roadway. With this type of design, much of the visual identity of the corridor is placed on the parking lots and vehicles, rather than on the architecture and identity of the community and the buildings themselves. During visioning exercises, many Prosper residents indicated that high quality non- residential development should be a priority in Prosper and that the “cookie-cutter” strip centers that define many suburban neighborhoods should be discouraged within Prosper. Building orientation is a way to ensure that high-quality retail and commercial centers are developed within Prosper. Retail centers should be clustered together, when possible, creating nodes of activity rather than strips of activity. Neighborhood retail centers will most likely be located at major intersections within Prosper. Clustering of buildings into nodes of activity can often help to define outdoor spaces such as plazas and courtyards and the strategic orientation of buildings can also minimize circulation conflicts. An additional design which may be considered is the placement of parking areas behind buildings rather than along the roadway frontage. The visual experience is then focused upon the landscaping and architectural design of the building, rather than on a large parking lot located in the front. Parking Lot Frontage and Building Frontage Strip Center Retail and Nodal Retail PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 310 Item 7. 43 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Livable Neighborhoods Life-Cycle Housing Connectivity Identity Recreational Access Quality Development Neighborhood Conveniences Open Space Neighborhood Signage Encourage a variety of housing types and sizes to accommodate different stages of life within Prosper. Ensure a range of housing that takes into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels, and ethnicity. Encourage connected neighborhoods which emphasize both internal and external connectivity. Neighborhoods should be linked to each other as well as to the community as a whole. Encourage neighborhood events, such as National Night Out, block parties and other neighborhood events to promote social interaction among neighbors and to foster a sense of community. Incorporate the Parks Master Plan in order to create outdoor recreational opportunities for both neighborhoods and the community, enhancing the quality of life of Prosper. Continue to encourage the creation of custom homes, a definitive feature of Prosper, through anti-monotony standards and by requiring quality building materials that reduce maintenance and preserve long-term appearance. Incorporate neighborhood retail centers in strategic locations which optimize convenience for adjacent neighborhoods. Offer walkable connections to adjacent neighborhood as well as automobile connections and discreet parking. In addition to parks and trails, neighborhoods should include open space in order to preserve the rural nature of Prosper. Delineate different neighborhoods through entrance features and signage toppers. Livable neighborhoods, regardless of what type of environment, have some common characteristics. The following is a discussion of some of these common characteristics as well as strategies to ensure that neighborhoods are protected, preserved and enhanced as development continues to occur within the Town. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 311 Item 7. 44 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Long Term Neighborhood Viability Neighborhoods are often defined in more abstract terms by the sense of “community” and the quality of life enjoyed by the people who live and play there. Well-designed neighborhoods provide a setting for residents to develop a strong sense of belonging, which is promoted by their interactions. The quality and livability of the Town’s neighborhoods are integral components of the overall character. The key to a successful neighborhood is creating a livable and affordable environment where the ongoing investment in property is supported by public investment in parks and greenbelt areas; opportunities for social interaction; accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles; and distinctive characteristics which give an area a unique identity. Prosper neighborhoods may be quantified in terms of the following characteristics: • Opportunities for neighborhood interaction; • Careful and strategic placement of retail uses and other appropriate non- residential uses within access of the neighborhood area; • Continued investment in public and private property to stabilize property values; • Condition of public facilities and infrastructure serving the area; • A sense of “community” and belonging among residents through distinctive neighborhood identities; • Access to amenities such as parks, open spaces, public facilities and trails; and • Incorporating open spaces within neighborhoods as a definitive feature of Prosper. The majority of Prosper’s housing stock is relatively new and in good physical condition. Ensuring that the preceding principles are used to guide new development will protect the long term viability and continued investment in Prosper’s neighborhoods in the future. The following is feedback received from Prosper Residents during the Public Meeting regarding its neighborhoods: • Open space/tree preservation • Neighborhood services • Sidewalks • Bicycle/Jogging Trails • Minimal Street lighting • Sound barriers/buffers on high- traffic corridors • “Chic Country” community • Space for community/ neighborhood festivals and events • Entertainment for families PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 312 Item 7. 45 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Housing Mix It is important for communities to provide a variety of housing for its citizens and to meet the needs of different segments of the population. The “full-life cycle” is intended to describe all stages of life. Housing Mix-Alternative Housing Options Generally speaking, most of Prosper’s housing options are, and will continue to be, single family homes. Prosper residents have indicated that other housing types are appropriate within the community but that such units should primarily be confined within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Town Center and Old Town districts. Many housing options in these districts take place on smaller lots, such as in the case of townhomes, brownstones, patio homes, and zero lot line homes. Design approaches for these types of homes tend to favor rear entry garages for two primary reasons; aesthetics and drainage. Rear-entry garages on developments with lot sizes less than 50 feet in width help to protect the visual integrity of the streetscape by reducing the visibility of closely situated garages and driveways. This is particularly important when looking at townhomes, brownstones, zero-lot line homes and patio homes which are either attached or closely situated to one another. Rear entry garages allow more landscaping opportunities and create a more walkable environment in such areas by reducing the frequency of individual driveways. In addition to aesthetics, rear-entry garages may also aid with drainage. Determining where water that collects in ones backyard should drain is often a contested issue. Having rear- entry garages or a small rear yard/rear patio feature can be a design advantage to this effect. While rear-entry garages should be considered for the densest forms of residential housing options, it is likely that front-entry garages will continue in the majority of Prosper’s lower density neighborhoods. Rear-Entry Townhome Front-Entry Townhome PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 313 Item 7. 46 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Transitional Uses, Screening and Buffering The Future Land Use Plan seeks to minimize conflict between residential and nonresidential areas, but screening and buffering efforts can help to mitigate any remaining incompatibility between land uses. The Town should consider reviewing the existing screening and buffering requirements between residential and nonresidential developments. There are several options to alleviate the conflict: require transitional uses, screening, and/or buffering. Larger setbacks, such as a 40 foot setback, may be utilized to protect the public view and create a more rural feel. Within such setbacks, extensive landscaping, such as berms, double rows of large trees and solid living evergreen screens may be used. Examples of “living screens” were rated favorably in the Visual Character Survey and include the types of screening mentioned above, typically on setbacks greater than 25 feet. When landscape berms are used, consideration for maintenance should be a priority. Typically speaking a 1:3 slope should be used for landscape berms to ensure proper maintenance. So, for example, a 25’ setback would allow a 4’ berm; a 30‘setback would allow a 5’ berm; and a 40’ setback would allow a 6’ berm. If a screening wall is used, the wall should be constructed entirely of brick, masonry, or other like material consistent with the exterior finish of the primary structure. It should also be at least 6 feet in height. Wood is a high maintenance material and therefore is not recommended for screening walls. Construction of such a wall would typically be a responsibility of the nonresidential land use developer. If a retaining wall is located on the property line, the screening wall should be located on top of the retaining wall to maximize visual screening. In addition to screening residential areas from non- residential areas, screening and buffering techniques should also be used to protect the visual realm from unwanted eyesores such as: o Trash receptacles o Utility Boxes o Commercial loading docks o Expansive parking lots A variety of screening uses may be utilized including masonry or brick walls, shrubs, trees and landscape berms, among others. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 314 Item 7. 47 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Open Space Preservation A common theme expressed by CPAC members and Town Hall attendees was the need to preserve open space within Prosper. Many residents have chosen to live in Prosper due to its quiet, rural feel and abundant open spaces. Prosper is located along a prime development corridor and therefore significant pressure will be placed on land owners to sell property and existing open spaces for development in the future. Therefore, in order to preserve open space within the community, Prosper may consider the following options. Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) is a program that enables the community, or a land trust, to purchase the development rights from a landowner. Essentially, the municipality or trust would purchase the difference between the appraised and market value (what a developer would pay for purchase of the property) in exchange for the landowner not developing the land. The landowner can continue to use the land as farmland or open space. Once an agreement is reached, the land may not be subdivided or developed. In the future, the property owner may sell the land at the appraised value, but the restrictions on development remain. One advantage to PDR is the preservation of open space and the continued ownership of land by the property owner. The disadvantage is such land remains under the control of the landowner, even after development rights have been purchased, and therefore is not public space. Only the development rights have been purchased, not the land itself. Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) While not commonly used in Texas, TDR is a way of transferring development rights from a transfer area, or open space, to a receiving area (area approved for development). If, for example, the tollway district was identified as a receiving zone, a developer that was seeking development greater than the approved density for that district could purchase the development rights from an area containing open space and transfer that right to develop to his/her property along the tollway. The developer is therefore able to build at a higher density and open space is able to be preserved elsewhere. This increased density option would only be allowed in areas identified as receiving zones, not within individual neighborhoods. Conservation Easements are another method of preserving open space. Conservation easements are initiated by the land owner in an attempt to protect their property from future development. In its publication Conservation Easements: A Guide for Texas Landowners, The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department outlines many of the advantages of conservation easements, including tax benefits. Typically, a property owner voluntarily creates an agreement with a municipality or county that limits development on the landowner’s property. In a conservation easement, the landowner will limit their right to one or more of the following: right to manage resources, change use, subdivide or develop. Conservation easements ensure that a farm, ranch, estate or open space area is preserved from development pressures in the future. The advantage to conservation easements is that land is preserved indefinitely and such easements may be sold or donated to land trusts for significant tax credits. The disadvantage is that the landowner receives no monetary reimbursement for not developing, such as in the purchase of development rights scenario, other than tax credits. Parks Plan The Town of Prosper currently has a park dedication ordinance that requires 1 acre of park dedication for every 35 units or 5% of total land. The system of parks and trails established by the 2007 Parks Master Plan is the most significant way open space can be preserved within Prosper. Park land dedication should be guided by the adopted Parks Plan. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 315 Item 7. 48 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Social Interaction The term community naturally implies the congregation and interaction of people. Residents identified that one of the defining features of Prosper were its residents and the sense of community that exists within the Town. As the Town continues to grow, a sense of community will continue to be an important characteristic of the Town. With a larger population, the built environment will need to provide spaces and opportunities for residents to meet, congregate, interact and enjoy life. Creating such venues will help foster a sense of community among residents and will create family environments where interaction begets new friendships. An amphitheater was seen as a potential opportunity to host Town events. This Amphitheater, when combined with a larger open space/park area, could serve as a central location for Town festivals and events. In addition to a community garden, many communities in North Texas have begun to offer farmers markets, encouraging local growers to bring in fresh produce for residents to purchase. The number of farmers markets has increased 17% from 2010 to 2011, with the second largest growth occurring in Texas at 38% (US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Marketing Service news release, Aug 5, 2011). Farmers markets and community gardens can also be beneficial in supporting the local economy and encouraging social interaction. The creation of the Town Center and other mixed uses will also help to create additional places for Prosper residents to interact and socialize with other families by creating opportunities for retail shopping and dining. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 316 Item 7. 49 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Corridors and Districts Preston Road A major component of the visioning exercises pertained to the three major corridors in Prosper: Preston Road, Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. The following discussions on each corridor are a result of the visioning exercises and feedback received from the comprehensive plan advisory committee and the general public. A major component of the visioning exercises pertained to the three major corridors in Prosper: Preston Road, Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. The following discussions on each corridor are a result of the visioning exercises and feedback received from the comprehensive plan advisory committee and the general public. Land Use Preston Road was described by numerous residents as “our road.” Traversing the center of the community, Preston Road will have a variety of land uses and will have a varying context. In the southern portion of Prosper, Preston Road will accommodate higher degrees of traffic, particularly as it traverses the Town Center. Retail, office and some medium density residential will be located along Preston Road on the southern end of the Town, gradually becoming more residential in nature as it moves north. Small scale office and retail may be located in certain areas along Preston Road and these should be the types of uses which service adjacent neighborhoods. Big box uses, mid-rise development, and more intense land uses were generally not viewed as favorable as small-scale retail and office uses. Residents identified an upscale grocery store, such as a Central Market or a Whole Foods, as one of their top priorities along Preston Road. Character The character of Preston Road should be more rural in nature, respecting the small-town character of the community. Large, heavily landscaped setbacks should be prevalent along the roadway helping to differentiate Prosper from Frisco while also providing a natural sense of calm for Prosper residents. Wide setbacks are particularly important as the roadway traverses residential areas generally north of First Street. Areas of retail should be designed to the highest level of quality and architectural characteristics within individual developments should follow a theme consistent with recently completed development. Residents felt that retail areas should be organized in a nodal nature rather than in a strip center fashion in order to prevent the entire roadway frontage from being consumed by retail. Unanchored, stand- alone retail establishments should be discouraged in favor of a nodal shopping center development. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 317 Item 7. 50 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Dallas North Tollway Land Use Unlike Preston Road, regional development pressures will likely be placed along the Dallas North Tollway. Feedback received from the public indicated that more intense uses would be appropriate along the corridor. Types of uses that scored relatively well included mid-rise office buildings, mixed-use development and corporate office parks, among others. Generally speaking, the DNT corridor will contain land uses that support a more regional context and will likely include office space, retail uses and business parks. High density residential is appropriate within the DNT corridor. Mixed-use lofts/apartments are the preferred style of high density residential within this district. Images depicting big box retail, auto sales centers and commercial services, such as self-storage facilities, scored the lowest along the Dallas North Tollway. Character The character of the Dallas North Tollway will be significantly more intense than the rest of the Town. The most intense development will be located in the southern portion of the corridor, primary around the interchange of the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. Development in the Northeast corner of this intersection will likely be a continuation of the Town Center district, much in the same way office uses surround Legacy Town Center in Plano. Areas on the Northwest corner of the interchange are currently identified as mixed-use. A mixture of office, retail and medium to high density residential will likely develop within this area. Floodplain on the north side of the Northwest corner will serve as a buffer between the more intense development and the low density residential neighborhoods to the north. Intensity of development should gradually decrease on the north side of the Dallas North Tollway corridor and backage roads will help to facilitate the creation of pad sites that may buffer the Tollway from residential uses. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 318 Item 7. 51 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Highway 380 Land Use Of the three major corridors, Highway 380 contains the longest stretch of potential development. Generally speaking, land uses along the Highway 380 Corridor were seen to be more commercial in nature. Unlike Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway, big-box retail scored relatively well along Highway 380, in addition to office, hotel uses, retail centers and service uses, such as a gas station and fast food restaurant. Similar to the other categories, industrial uses, including warehouses, were not seen as a highly appropriate use along the Highway 380 corridor. Due to the length of the corridor, a variety of land uses will be located along the corridor. Typically speaking, retail and service establishments will locate adjacent to Highway 380 and along major intersections, in a nodal pattern of activity. Such uses capitalize on higher traffic counts and require a higher degree of visibility. Big box uses may also be located along the corridor, but pad sites should be located adjacent to Highway 380 to capitalize on visibility and pass-by trips. Residential uses, such as patio homes, snout homes and townhomes and brownstones may be located within this district. Such uses will likely be used as a buffer between more intense uses along Highway 380 and lower intensity residential neighborhoods to the north. Such uses may also be located mid-block, reserving major intersections for retail and commercial uses. Character The character of Highway 380 will be much more commercial in nature. Wide setbacks with large landscape buffering will protect the visual appearance of the corridor, while still allowing more intense commercial land uses to operate. Big Box retailers may be permitted, but they should be designed to the highest possible quality, incorporating significant landscaping, high quality materials, such as stone and brick, and should contain architectural enhancements and building articulation. Medium and high density residential options may be included within the Highway 380 corridor but such uses should be carefully designed to protect, enhance and buffer low density neighborhoods to the north from more intense development along Highway 380. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 319 Item 7. 52 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Old Town The Old Town area of Prosper is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the community. As the Town continues to experience rapid growth, it is this core and center than can serve as an identifying feature of the Town and can also serve to showcase Prosper’s humble beginnings. Many communities in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area have used their downtowns as an identifying feature. Prosper residents have identified the significance of the downtown area and have indicated its potential role in the future of the community. Coleman Road serves as a divider between residential uses to the east and non-residential uses to the west. The western side of Coleman will be the primary area of focus for redevelopment and infill. The Old Town district indicates that commercial, office, retail and single family uses will be permitted within the district. It is anticipated that many single family dwelling units along First Street and Broadway will gradually convert to boutique retail and cottage office uses, requiring flexibility in land use decisions as these areas transition over time. Coleman, Broadway and First Street will serve as the primary corridors within the downtown area. Special attention to context sensitivity should be given to these roadways as they move from newer areas into the downtown. Parallel and head-in parking will likely be included along with pedestrian walkways and streetscape enhancements. If a transit station is built at First Street and the BNSF railroad, higher density residential options should be permitted near the station. Currently, only studio apartments are permitted within the Old Town district. High density residential options, such as vertical mixed-use development, townhomes and brownstones should be considered within close proximity of the transit station. Locating high-density residential within 1/4 mile of the transit station will help ensure long term viability and effectiveness of transit and will ensure that Prosper’s transit station is more than simply a “park-and-ride.” All future development should be consistent in theme, possibly emphasizing an “old downtown” feel consistent with Texas downtowns at the turn of the 20th century. Lewisville, McKinney and Plano are examples of successful downtown rehabilitation projects which project such an image. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 320 Item 7. Old Town Transportation Plan Section A: Four lane divided roadway with a landscaped median and a landscaped parkway separating pedestrians from traffic. This section serves as a major entrance into Old Town from the east. No on-street parking. Section B: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. Wide travel lanes allow for bicycle accommodation and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. No on-street parking. Section C: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking is permitted and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. Section D: Two lane undivided urban roadway. Wide 20’ sidewalks accommodate patio seating, pedestrian traffic and street trees. On-street angled parking is permitted and bulb-outs are located at intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility at crosswalks. Section E: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and an immediately adjacent 8’ sidewalk. A large private setback of 25’ is included. Section F: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and a 15’ sidewalk. 10’ of the sidewalk will be located within the right-of-way and the additional 5 feet will be a 5’ setback to building face. Section G: Two lane divided roadway with a center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking and a 10’ sidewalk are included. Land Use The predominant land use within Old Town will be single-family residential. All infill development within such areas should conform to the architectural guidelines established for the Old Town district. Such guidelines are created to protect the continuity of look and feel within Old Town. Along Broadway and First Street, single-family uses will gradually transition to boutique, cottage-style office and/or specialty retail uses. Broadway west of Coleman, will be the retail core of the downtown. Shops, restaurants, and small office uses may be located within the main street retail area. This area is intended to be the heart and main activity center of the Old Town Area. As redevelopment occurs, building frontages should be brought to the property line to be consistent with ultimate streetscape improvements. Adjacent to the retail core, a mixed-use district incorporating mixed use lofts/apartments will serve as a buffer between the Business Park and the core of Old Town. This area will also provide rooftops that service adjacent retail establishments. The Green space area will serve as a community park and its location adjacent to the retail core of Old Town and the mixed-use district will make it an opportunistic and useable open space area. Niche retail is recommended along Preston Road and at the northern end of Coleman. Retail development within these areas should fit within the architectural framework of the Old Town area. Setbacks should be reduced, when possible, along Coleman and Broadway to frame the roadways. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 321 Item 7. 54 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Image Enhancement Prosper is a unique community. Many who have moved to the Town express their diverse reasons for relocating to Prosper. Reasons include its excellent school system, its wide open spaces, its large lot homes, its friendly neighbors and rural setting with access to the Town, among others. This section seeks to define some of those attributes and using these attributes to establish a recognizable image for the community’s built environment. Branding Community branding is the concept of establishing an identity and then working to ensure that the desired identity is reflected and portrayed in the built environment. In Prosper, residents have clearly identified that the rural, open spaces of the community are a defining feature of Prosper, particularly defining when compared with other North Dallas suburbs such as Frisco, Plano, McKinney and Little Elm. Residents identified that a common perception and image of Prosper to outsiders is an upscale, rural community with open spaces and large-lot homes. Despite the current availability of open spaces and agricultural land, the Town will continue to grow and develop. As the community grows, however, development standards may reflect certain architectural characteristics that may be unique to Prosper, helping to visually distinguish the Town from adjacent communities, particularly its retail centers. Additionally, setbacks and landscaping may be used along major corridors to create a more rural atmosphere, even as the Town develops. Large setbacks and medians may be heavily landscaped with trees, shrubs and other natural elements. As trees grow and mature, the presence of a dense tree canopy will help to create a more natural feel within the community. Additionally, the Town may reduce the amount of internal lighting to mitigate light pollution and enhance dark skies, further enhancing the rural feel. The Town’s extensive Parks Plan, as it is implemented, will also significantly help to create and preserve open spaces and will contribute significantly to the Town’s quality of life by providing outdoor recreational opportunities. As development occurs, all new development should not only meet the development standards of the community, but should also be analyzed based upon how they will contribute to the image and branding of the community based upon Prosper’s vision, goals and values. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 322 Item 7. 55 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Gateways The visual monotony that is often inherent to communities within a particular geographic area makes it appear that each one is just like its neighbors. For example, the visual appearance of a community to a traveler along the Dallas North Tollway may be very similar to the appearance of any other nearby community. This lack of design variety, especially along major corridors, tends to create anonymity, and it becomes difficult for people to know when they have left one community and entered another. Gateways can provide a strong sense of arrival to, as well as a sense of departure from, the community. These features are the first thing visitors see when they arrive and the last impression visitors have when they leave. The design of gateways into the Town of Prosper should be guided by several factors. One of the most obvious factors is the number of people using a particular entry point. The most heavily traveled the roadway entering the community will be the Dallas North Tollway. Although it may be difficult to create an aesthetically-pleasing gateway visible from the highway, the bridges and the frontage roads are alternate options. Improved overpasses with decorative rails, landscaping, lighting, and possibly signage are possibilities. In addition, two entry features for the Town placed directly along the Dallas North Tollway frontage roads, both leading into and out of the community (i.e., at the northern and southern corporate limits) would be a positive step in creating a visual identity once the Tollway is constructed. Gateways could include the use of signage, landscaping, and other design elements such as lighting, fencing, paving patterns, art/sculptural elements, a variety of earth forms, or other identifier that signifies arrival into the Town. Another important factor in the design of gateways is to develop an entryway that provides a sense of identity for the community while projecting a desirable image for the Town. For example, the windmill is a component of the Prosper logo and may be used as a component of Town gateways, if so desired by the community. The windmill feature is a strong representation of who Prosper is –it identifies the Town’s humble beginnings as a small agrarian town and also highlights and reflects many of the Town’s values such as large lots, open spaces and rural, small town feel. Consideration should be given to establishing a uniform design concept for all gateway areas, and hierarchical distinction between major and minor gateways can be achieved through design modification for each type of entry feature. Minor gateways could be specific to the individual neighborhood, reflecting the distinct character of each area. Design of entry features should take into consideration the setting in which each feature will be placed. Although an entry feature might ideally be placed at the corner of a roadway intersection which is at, or near, the true Town limits, the design of the feature might conflict either visually or aesthetically with an adjacent retail use at the intersection. In such a situation, it may be prudent to move the entry feature further into the community to provide a better setting and better visibility, such as placing it upon the thoroughfare median, if there is one. The traffic speed at which an entry feature is viewed must also be taken into account, and the size, boldness and scale of the feature should be designed accordingly. It is important for the Town of Prosper to assert its differing qualities to distinguish itself from the surrounding communities. Gateway features are a simple first step in this direction. Priority for funding entry features, both in terms of total dollars spent per entry and in terms of the timing of expenditures, should be directly related to the number of people using a particular entry point. Often, donations can be solicited from civic groups to assist in the funding of specific gateways and/or their maintenance (e.g., an "adopt a gateway" program). PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 323 Item 7. 56 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper COMMUNITY CHARACTER Gateway size and design should consider traffic, traffic speeds land use context. In Prosper, primary gateways will be located along the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380, Preston Road and the “corners” along the Town’s perimeters. Secondary gateways may be located along Coit, Legacy, Teel, Lovers Lane, Gee and other minor entrances into Prosper. Prosper may desire to use the windmill as a design element within its future gateways. The windmill is a symbol that is reflective of the Town’s history and past and is currently a component of the Town’s logo. The design of the Town’s gateways should be consistent in theme and should help to identify Prosper to visitors as well as welcome residents home. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 324 Item 7. 57 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan COMMUNITY CHARACTER Maintaining compatibility between the Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Plan Chapter 211 of the Texas Local Government Code states that “zoning regulations must be adopted in accordance with a comprehensive plan.” Consequently, a zoning map and zoning decisions should reflect the Future Land Use Plan to the fullest extent possible. Therefore, approval of development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan will often result in inconsistency between the Future Land Use Plan and the zoning regulations. At times, the Town will likely encounter development proposals that do not directly reflect the purpose and intent of the land use pattern as shown on the Future Land Use Plan map. Review of such development proposals should include the following considerations: • Will the proposed change enhance the site and the surrounding area? • Is the proposed change a better use than that originally envisioned and depicted on the Future Land Use Plan map? • Will the proposed use impact adjacent residential areas in a negative manner? • Will the proposed use be compatible with and/or enhance adjacent residential uses? • Are uses adjacent to the proposed use similar in nature in terms of appearance, hours of operation, and other general aspects of compatibility? • Does the proposed use present a significant benefit to the public health, safety, welfare and/or social well-being of the community? • Would it contribute to the Town’s long- term economic stability? Development proposals that are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Plan map (or that do not meet its general intent) should be reviewed based upon the above questions and should be evaluated on their own merit. It should be incumbent upon the applicant making such a proposal to provide evidence that the proposal meets the aforementioned considerations, supports community goals and objectives as set forth within this Plan, and represents long term economic and/or social benefits for the community as a whole, not just a short-term financial gain for whoever is developing the project. It is important to recognize that proposals not directly consistent with the Plan could reflect higher and better long-term uses than those originally envisioned and shown on the Future Land Use Plan map for a particular area. This may be due to changing markets, demographics and/or economic trends that occur at some point in the future after the Plan is adopted. If such changes occur, and especially if there are demonstrated significant social and/or economic benefits to the Town of Prosper, then these proposals should be approved and the Future Land Use Plan map should be amended accordingly. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 325 Item 7. 58 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTATION PLAN The thoroughfare system forms one of the most visible and permanent elements of a community. It establishes the framework for community growth and development and, along with the Future Land Use Plan, forms a long- range statement of public policy. As the alignment and right-of-way of major transportation facilities are established and adjacent property developed, it is difficult to facilitate system changes without significant financial impacts. However, by incorporating programmed land uses and densities of the Future Land Use Plan, strategies can be developed that maximize the land use/transportation relationship. Several key principles were recognized in the preparation of Plan recommendations and included the following: • Prosper should have safe and convenient internal circulation between neighborhoods, core community assets, and special areas. • Transportation facilities should define rather than split residential areas in order to preserve neighborhood integrity. Through traffic should be routed to specific facilities designed to accommodate non-local and regional traffic. • A sidewalk and trail system connecting Prosper’s amenities and parks with neighborhoods should be available. • Key corridors and gateways should include enhanced landscaping to promote image/identity. • Monitor regional growth implications in order to proactively address mobility and accessibility issues to/from the Town. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 326 Item 7. 59 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Planning Context 2010 Thoroughfare Plan Updated in July 2010, the Prosper Thoroughfare Plan established a traditional grid network of streets with connectivity of major roadways to key streets in adjacent communities. Key to this plan is the identification of strategic corridors for accommodating local and long-term regional travel demand. As regional growth is rapidly moving northward through Collin County, several key roadway facilities have been identified for accommodating future cross-town movement while others are aimed at accommodating localized traffic. Key north-south and east-west roadways (up to six-lane) include Dallas North Tollway (DNT), Preston Road (SH 289), Custer, Coit, Legacy, Teel, FM1385/Gee Road, Highway 380 and FM 1464 Frontier Parkway/Parvin Road. Several other east-west roadways are aimed at accommodating localized traffic on smaller sized streets (up to four-lane divided) and include Prosper Trail, First Street/Fishtrap, and Lovers Lane. The Plan also established special roadway considerations for Old Town, Town Center area, backage roads along DNT and portions of Highway 380. The roadway network established in the 2010 Thoroughfare Plan is a departure from the “modified hub and spoke” concept established as part of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. That concept was aimed at localizing traffic from within the community to desired hubs of development situated within the Town. While not dissimilar in nature to the grid network, the plan also included an internal loop road, couplet streets and connection points for development support along DNT. Other Planning Initiatives NCTCOG Planning The Regional Thoroughfare Plan (RTP) and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) are both important to consider when making decisions locally. Coordination of planning efforts may help accelerate funding sources and ultimately help to ensure that roadways at a regional level are functional and compatible. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) is responsible for creating both the RTP and the MTP—both are directly related to the ability of the region to compete nationally for federal transportation funds. It is important that the Town monitor both the RTP and the MTP and communicate any changes in order to ensure that plans within Prosper are understood by other agencies and reflected accordingly. 2010 Prosper Thoroughfare Plan PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 327 Item 7. 60 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Collin County Transportation Plan In 1999, Collin County adopted the first Transportation Mobility Plan aimed at coordinating regional roadway improvements among the various municipalities and agencies to address long-term County growth needs and capital improvements planning. Subsequently updated in 2003 and 2007, Collin County updated the mobility plan in 2014 to identify and coordinate the transportation needs of our growing population. Within the Town, the 2014 County Plan contains some differences relative to the Prosper Thoroughfare Plan including: • Prosper Trail as a six-lane divided (Plan has four lanes);and • First Street as a six-lane divided (Plan has four lanes); The Thoroughfare Plan and Future Land Use Plan for Prosper where provided to the County Planners for inclusion and consideration in the 2014 mobility plan. The County Plan also contains the northeastern section of the planned Dallas-Ft. Worth Regional Outer Loop. Currently, only a portion of this corridor, from Dallas North Tollway to SH 5, remains in the NCTCOG Metropolitan Transportation Plan: Mobility 2035 as viable due to financial funding constraints. While not a direct impact to Prosper, a long-term benefit of this improvement is the potential reduction in north/south travel on surface streets in favor of highway access on the DNT. Area Transportation Service A topic identified early in the planning process was a desire to provide shuttle service for seniors within Prosper. Collin County Area Regional Transit (CCART) currently provides transit services in Collin County, including on- call/demand response. This service provided by the County can be utilized by seniors, or other Town residents, when there is a need for transportation assistance. 2014 Collin County Transportation Plan PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 328 Item 7. 61 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Highway Improvements The following summarizes planned and completed improvements to key highway corridors: • Preston Road (SH 289) Overpass at Highway 380: Construction of a six-lane divided overpass began in early 2011 and was completed at the end of 2012. • Preston Road (SH 289): Preston Road was expanded from two to six-lane divided roadway between US Highway 380 and FM1461/Frontier Parkway. Construction began in March 2012 and was completed in August 2014. All major crossings with Preston are at-grade. • US Highway 380: TXDOT has completed design plans to expand this facility from 4/5 lanes to six-lanes between Custer Road FM 1385. Construction from Custer Road to the Collin county/Denton County Line began in September 2014. The roadway section both east of Preston and west of DNT overpasses at Preston, BNSF RR, and Dallas North Tollway (DNT). The frontage roads intersect with frontage roads of DNT and Preston similar to the SH 121/DNT/Preston interchange (three level interchange). The construction was complete in March 2019. Construction from the Collin County/Denton County Line is anticipated to begin in Spring 2021, and be complete in Spring 2024. Overpasses are planned at Legacy Drive, Teel Parkway, and FM 423/Gee Road. TxDOT is currently performing feasibility studies on US 380 becoming a Controlled Access Freeway in the future. • Dallas North Tollway (DNT): Collin County completed the construction of the southbound frontage road from US 380 to FM 428 in January 2020. The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) has plans to complete the construction of the main lanes overpass at US Highway 380 in Spring 2023, and the extension of the main lanes from US Highway 380 to FM 428 in Spring 2026. Grade separations in the Town of Prosper are planned at Lovers Lane, First Street, Prosper Trail and Frontier Parkway. • Custer Road (FM 2478): TxDOT has completed design plans to expand this facility from two lanes to four lanes between US Highway 380 and Frontier Parkway (FM 1461). Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2020, and be complete in Fall 2022. • Frontier Parkway (FM 1461): TxDOT is designing plans to expand this facility from two lanes to four lanes between Preston Road (SH 289) and CR 166. Construction is anticipated to begin Winter 2023-2024, and be complete in Fall 2026. • FM 1385: TxDOT is designing plans to expand this facility from two lanes to six lanes between US Highway 380 and FM 455. There is currently no timeline established for construction. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 329 Item 7. 62 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION 2019 Conditions The Economic Development Corporation conducts traffic counts annually for road segments in Prosper. The map below shows the total traffic counts collected, during 2019, for each street segment. The traffic counts are generally collected in April during the school year at the major intersections that enter, exit or pass through Prosper. Each year the EDC department in conjunction with Town staff evaluate the list of intersections that will be measured and determine if additional roadways need to be evaluated. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 330 Item 7. 63 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Regional Rail In 2005, NCTCOG initially examined the feasibility of long-term regional rail service to various areas of the Metroplex. Within the Prosper area, analysis of regional rail extended only through Frisco. The Frisco Line, a 34.3 mile line extending from Irving to just south of Highway 380 in Frisco, was considered in the study. Evaluations considered long-term population and employment growth, existing rail corridors and compatibility with other freight operations, projected rider-ship, capital and operations/maintenance costs, system connectivity, among others in the analysis. A potential station location within Prosper is the BNSF Railroad at First Street within the Old Town district. The analysis concluded with a rider-ship forecast of 1,000 to 3,000 persons daily at the far northern end of the line in Frisco, and was initially recommended for inclusion to Mobility 2030 as a corridor for further evaluation. While no funding has been identified at this time, this line has been recommended for long-term consideration in Mobility 2035. Mobility 2035 has also identified the consideration of this rail line through Prosper to the northern county limit as a “corridor for future evaluation”. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 331 Item 7. 64 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION 2010 Conditions An analysis of existing traffic volume was conducted to identify travel patterns and serve as a basis for identifying roadway needs. Traffic volume data collected in April 2010 as part of the roadway impact fee system update was used to conduct a level of service analysis. Data collected as part of that study effort contained PM peak hour directional volume—roadway capacity values based on roadway functional class and existing street cross-section. “Level of service” refers to the operation condition of a roadway segment under traffic demand and is a calculation of volume to capacity. Level of service is gauged with a measure of “A” through “F”, with “A” reflecting roadways with free flow and little or no congestion, and “F” reflecting roadways with severe congestion. The analysis revealed that the majority of roadways in Prosper appear to be operating at acceptable levels of service (A/B/C). The exceptions were Highway 380, Preston Road and portions of Coit and Custer Road north of Highway 380 during the peak hour—these segments were calculated to operate at or below acceptable levels of service (LOS D and E/F). Planned expansion to Highway 380 and Preston should alleviate traffic demands currently experienced. While peak volumes are relatively low on Coit and Custer Roads, the narrow roadway sections contribute to the reduction in operational service. Projected Conditions The assessment of projected travel conditions on the thoroughfare network is important to determining the capability of the roadway system to accommodate projected area growth and roadway needs for a 20-year planning period. Two approaches were used to assess projected travel demand conditions for a 20-year horizon. The first approach involved review of travel model forecasts prepared by NCTCOG as part of Mobility 2035. The second approach involved development of travel demand characteristics based on remaining developable land within Prosper and then assignment of projected growth on this remaining developable land to the adjacent road network to yield roadway needs. 2010 Traffic Volume and Level of Service Analysis PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 332 Item 7. 65 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION Projected Traffic Conditions The Thoroughfare Plan network was compared to travel forecasts prepared by NCTCOG in order to assess its ability to accommodate traffic from future land uses within the Town. Regional travel forecast data from Mobility 2035: The Metropolitan Transportation Plan for North Central Texas was used as a basis for the comparison. This sophisticated model forecasts traffic demand on the regional transportation network relative to projected population and employment growth for year 2035. Projected 2035 traffic volumes for key roadways include: • Preston Road – 53,000 • Highway 380 – 65,000 • Custer Road – 36,000 • Coit Road – 7,000 • Frontier Parkway – 20,000 • FM 1385—34,000 It is important to note that assumptions are made with respect to the amount of roadway network in place for Year 2035. For example, with Coit Road not included to its ultimate configuration (6-lane), travel demand shifts occur to roadways offering availability of higher capacity. This partly explains the higher volumes that resulted on Preston Road. With Coit Road fully in place, localized traffic would shift from away Preston Road. Under the Mobility 2035 forecast (and network assumptions contained within), all roads within Prosper are forecasted to operate at acceptable levels-of-service with the exception of Preston Road and Highway 380, which is anticipated to experience very high travel demand. Thoroughfare Plan Compatibility A screen line analysis was conducted to compare projected volume relative to capacity provided by the Thoroughfare Plan network at its ultimate configuration. Separate screens were used to segregate north-south from east- west demand, as well as demands east and west of the Dallas North Tollway. Adjustments were made for factor up travel demands commensurate with a population of 60,000 within Prosper in 2035, based upon the 8% growth projection. The analysis revealed the Thoroughfare Plan to have sufficient capacity at ultimate configuration to accommodate projected demands at year 2035. A sensitivity analysis was then conducted to assess network impacts with select roadways not to full buildout. Specifically, the north-south thoroughfares of Teel Parkway, Legacy Drive, and Coit Road were evaluated under a 4-lane scenario (all other Major Thoroughfares to 6-lane). The analysis revealed sufficient capacity of the network to be available at 2035. While ultimately, these specific roadways may need to be built to six lanes, a phased approach to facility implementation could be undertaken. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 333 Item 7. 66 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Planning Principles Prosper’s Thoroughfare Plan is built upon traditional thoroughfare planning concepts, which focuses on a functional roadway network providing mobility and accessibility to vehicular traffic. In order to address the community’s goals of providing multi-modal options to residents, such as sidewalks and trails for walking and biking, it will be important to incorporate the trail system from the recently completed Parks Plan. Together, these components offer a range of mode choices from which residents move about the community. Functional Street Classification Functional street classification recognizes that streets are part of a system having diverse origins and destinations. Functional classifications also describe and reflect a set of characteristics common to all roadways within each class. Functions range from providing mobility for through traffic and major traffic flows, to providing access to specific properties. Characteristics unique to each classification include the degree of continuity, general capacity, and traffic control characteristics. In short, the functional classification of streets provides for the circulation of traffic in a hierarchy of movement from one classification to the next. Functional classes can be subdivided further into major and minor designations to further detail their role in the community. Access and movement functions are directly related in that as uninhibited movement increases (speed), points of access decrease and vice versa. This is typically why freeways, with a high level of movement, have limited access points where as streets in neighborhood areas have more access points and reduced speed. Proper’s current Thoroughfare Plan recognizes four general classifications for roadways based upon a hierarchical function and include: • Major Thoroughfare: 6-lane divided roadway within 120’ ROW. These streets are designed to provide a high degree of mobility, service relatively high traffic volumes, have high operational speeds, and service a significant portion of through travel. • Minor Thoroughfare: 4-lane divided roadway with a similar function to the Major Thoroughfare, but more local in nature. The urban section is a curbed roadway within 90‘ROW. • Commercial Collector: 2 and 3-lane undivided roadway serving as connections between arterials and local streets. The 2-lane section consists of 36’ of pavement within a 60’ROW. This section is also aimed at serving residential applications. The 3-lane section contains a continuous left-turn bay and on-street parking within a 60’ROW and is used for handling commercial applications. • Neighborhood Street: 2-lane streets for accommodating neighborhood traffic. An urban and rural section are both contained within a 50’ ROW. The urban section is curbed with 31’ of pavement and the rural section contains 27’ of pavement.

Figure 7: Functional Street Classifications PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 335 Item 7. 68 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Access Coordination Flow of traffic is typically a major concern for most communities. The ability to move traffic efficiently along a corridor with minimal interference from traffic turning off and onto intersecting driveways/streets is a major benefit to motorists. Ideally, traffic should be able to avoid unnecessary “stop- and-go” traffic due to the abundance of intersecting driveways/ streets. While the implementation of deceleration lanes for streets and driveways on major and minor thoroughfares enhances capacity and accessibility, promotion of access management offers added benefits for the following reasons: 1) Reduces the number of ingress and egress points improving vehicular flow and reducing collisions; 2) Reduced driveways permit more landscaping frontage thereby enhancing roadway aesthetics; and 3) Reducing the number of driveways enhances the pedestrian experience by reducing pedestrian contact with turning traffic. Along key corridors, the concept of access coordination can be extended from individual sites to address corridor-wide segments. Master planning at a corridor scale enables: • Coordination of transportation and land use planning/decision making; • Allows for flexible and special area consideration to adjacent site development, special access and utilities coordination, and limits unnecessary connection points; • Economic benefits, aesthetics and amenity considerations; and • Promotes activity-based development centers, not strip retail. In larger corridors, the implementation of backage roads further helps to support main road safety and operations, internal and external site accessibility, and quality development patterns and design. Shared Access and Cross Access Reducing the number of driveways enhances corridor landscaping and aesthetics PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 336 Item 7. 69 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION 2007 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan A component in providing mobility choice is contained within the recently completed Parks Plan. The incorporated trail system is particularly important to mobility choice due to the connective nature that they serve from both within the community and the region— they may connect neighborhoods, schools, retail areas, recreational facilities and other core community or regional assets. Community trails are able to be utilized by residents for walking, jogging, biking and other recreational activities. Although intangible, trails have the ability to significantly improve the quality of life within the community by creating recreational options for residents and therefore serve a multitude of purposes beyond simply connectivity. It is important that elements of the Parks Plan be considered as new development occurs. The completed Parks Plan incorporates trails along several major roadways within the Town such as along Prosper Trail, First Street and Preston Road. Reflecting these trail connections on the Thoroughfare Plan emphasizes the significance of these trail connections within the overall connectivity framework. As roadway improvements coinciding with growth continue to occur, the Town should work to incorporate these roadway adjacent trail connections beginning with roadway planning and design. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 337 Item 7. 70 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION Transportation Plan The Transportation element of this Plan is intended to serve as a guide for transportation decisions within the Town. It was developed based upon past transportation planning efforts, connectivity efforts on key thoroughfares with adjacent communities and input from the CPAC, Town Staff and public input. This Plan should be used as a reference when updating the Town’s Thoroughfare Plan, Thoroughfare and Circulation Design Standards and any related ordinances, and should be referred to when considering a wide range of decisions related to both transportation and land use. Transportation decisions do not exist within a vacuum, but are directly related to decisions regarding land use and building form. Therefore, the ultimate objective of this Plan is to create a balanced transportation system within Prosper which provides for the safe mobility of residents, considers both current and future needs, enhances connectivity and mobility options, and promotes a more livable community through a proactive approach to the Town’s appearance. The Thoroughfare Plan is reflected in Plate 3 is for informational purposes and has not been prepared for and is not intended for legal, real estate, engineering, or surveying purposes. It does not represent on-the-ground survey. It is provided as a conceptual guide for transportation decisions within the Town related to general roadway alignments and classifications. The Town of Prosper does not assume any responsibilities or liability for any omissions, inaccuracies, or misinterpretations of the Thoroughfare Plan. Street classifications were developed based upon a number of factors including the roadways regional significance, current or projected traffic volumes, and land use. It is important to note that although a roadway may be identified as a Major Thoroughfare, the roadway design should not be rigid, but should consider a multitude of factors during its design including adjacent land use and context, among others.

A series of two-lane streets with varying cross- sections are aimed to support residential, boutique/cottage style office and specialty retail, and a mixed-use core area at Broadway and McKinley Streets. Wide landscaped medians, parkways and sidewalks are intended to provide an open feel to key corridors in the district. Section A: Four lane divided roadway with a landscaped median and a landscaped parkway separating pedestrians from traffic. This section serves as a major entrance into Old Town from the east. No on-street parking. Section B: Two lane divided roadway with a large center median containing landscaping. Wide travel lanes allow for bicycle accommodation and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. No on-street parking. Section C: Two lane divided roadway with a large center median containing landscaping. On- street parallel parking is permitted and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. Section D: Two lane undivided urban roadway. Wide 20’ sidewalks accommodate patio seating, pedestrian traffic and street trees. On-street angled parking is permitted and bulb- outs are located at intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility at crosswalks. Section E: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and an immediately adjacent 8’ sidewalk. A large private setback of 25’ is included. Section F: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and a 15’ sidewalk. 10’ of the sidewalk will be located within the right-of-way and the additional 5’ will be a 5’ setback to building face. Section G: Two lane divided roadway with a center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking and a 10’ sidewalk are included. The following modifications to the Thoroughfare Plan were developed as part of this planning process. These adjustments were developed based upon input received from the CPAC, Town Staff, land programming of the Future Land Use Plan and supporting transportation analyses. Within the mixed-use core area, wide sidewalks and on-street parking are envisioned to create a “sense of place” and allow for street amenities and gathering area. Development setbacks would also create opportunity for outdoor activity, dining or retail. Gateways and intersection treatments at key intersections have been identified to define district edge as well as tie the area together. Features for these treatments should be coordinated with theme, look and color. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 345 Item 7. 78 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper TRANSPORTATION PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 346 Item 7. 79 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan TRANSPORTATION DNDNT Backage Roads The thoroughfare plan calls for paralleling system of streets to support anticipated corridor development along the Dallas North Tollway. Sometimes referred as backage roads, these roads help to support development connectivity and accessibility. At Prosper Trail, a realignment of the backage road east of the Tollway was identified to avoid existing development and retain continuity for development opportunity to the north and south. This realigned commercial collector would still allow for 400-600’ lot depth for properties along the Tollway. Hays Road Collector Upgrade Hays Road as a commercial collector street to support future commercial/retail development opportunity along Preston Road north of First Street. Extending from First Street, Hays should be realigned at the north end to intersect Preston Road at Bridgeport Drive. This realignment would also help to reduce intersection points along Preston Road. The realignment of Hays at Bridgeport would also require a realigned intersection for Chandler Circle. South Coleman Road Extend and realign S. Coleman Road to intersect with Richland Blvd. at Preston Road. In addition to supporting development within Town Center, this connection would also create back access/connectivity with development anticipated east of Preston along Highway 380. Within Town Center, S. Coleman Road should be upgraded to a four-lane divided minor Thoroughfare (90’ ROW) to provide roadway capacity to support heavy development anticipated for this area. Consequently, the previously identified loop road extending from S. Coleman Road and back to McKinley Street should be removed from the Plan. South Craig Road Upgrade Craig Road between Preston Road and Broadway Street as a 3 lane couplet street to support retail development opportunity both within the Old Town District and along Preston Road. Highway 380 Access Roads The inclusion of access roads along Highway 380 between the Lovers Lane loop.

This would equate to roughly 2,853,379 square feet of retail space. For assumption purposes, we assumed a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.18 for retail. Dividing the total square footage of retail by the FAR and further dividing by 43,560 achieves the estimated retail acres that would be needed to accommodate the 2,853,379 square feet of retail space. This number is 364 acres. ** This page was not updated as part of the 2020 update and will be updated with a future Comprehensive update. An important factor to consider in the planning process is how land use decisions ultimately impact the future financial state of the community. Therefore, Prosper’s Future Land Use Plan not only guides development within the community but it provides the financial framework enabling Prosper to provide high-quality services for its residents. The following section pertains to this very topic and provides estimates on the potential sales tax and ad valorem tax revenue that could be collected by the Town at build-out. In order to provide a detailed analysis, experts at Catalyst Commercial were consulted and provided information on future retail trade potential in Prosper based upon the Future Land Use Plan. Figure 8: Retail Demand Forecast PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 348 Item 7. 81 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Future Land Use Plan Acreage Retail Assumptions Comp.

These assumptions were derived from staff discussions, existing zoning regulations and future characteristics believed to define each district and include: 1. Approximately 70% of the Neighborhood Services will be retail in nature. 2. Approximately 45% of the Town Center would be retail in nature. The Town Center will likely have a mixture of retail, office, residential and public space. The primary use, however, will likely be oriented around retail. 3. 10% of the Tollway District will be retail. Office uses will constitute the largest majority of land within the Tollway District. Retail areas within the Town Center will likely be at major intersections and on the first floor of vertical mixed-use apartments/lofts. 4. 10% of the Highway 380 district will be retail. Commercial uses and residential uses will constitute a significant portion of the corridor. Retail areas at major intersections, including big- box retailers, will constitute the majority of retail establishments within the corridor. Given these assumptions, a total of 757 retail acres is expected, based upon the Future Land Use Plan scenario and the above assumptions. Additionally, the presence of visible and attractive corridors in Prosper suggests the Town will be able to attract patrons from outside of the Town itself. Our preliminary analysis indicates that, based on current spending trends experienced today, the Future Land Use Plan contains more than sufficient retail space to meet the future needs of Prosper. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 349 Item 7. 82 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Analysis Retail Sales Tax While 364 acres of retail is recommended by the economic analysis, a number of different factors may affect long-term retail needs in Prosper and include the following: • A potential build-out population higher than the current estimate of 69,303. The 2004 Comprehensive Plan and recent impact fee reports all estimate a buildout population of over 89,000 residents. Assuming a population of 82,000 residents, Prosper could accommodate approximately 430 acres of retail. • Prosper will have a regional retail center in the Town Center. This area of the community will have a regional draw and will attract retail patrons from outside of Prosper. Additional retail acreage, therefore, can be accommodated due to the regional nature of such retail. • Within retail areas, other uses such as churches, public facilities, schools and other non-retail uses may occur. Due to the above factors, it is believed that the Town could potentially accommodate the 757 retail acres depicted in the chart on page 98. As the Town grows, and as further comprehensive plan studies are completed, this number should be carefully examined and adjusted, if necessary. Based upon the assumptions from page 97, 750 acres of retail would essentially double the initial 364 acre estimates from a 17.1 million total sales tax contribution to approximately $34 million in sales tax revenue ($17.1 million to the general fund, $8.6 million to Economic Development and $8.6 million to property tax reduction). This sales tax revenue, when combined with estimated Ad Valorem Tax revenue, would enable Prosper to be financially secure and provide high level services and/or property tax reductions to its citizens. It is also recommended that additional neighborhood service retail zoning beyond what is recommended on the Future Land Use Plan should be avoided. The 750 acres recommended by this economic analysis should be sufficient to meet Prosper’s retail needs. Additional neighborhood services retail zoning should be avoided. Nodal retail activity should be concentrated at primary intersections, and the “four corner” principle should be avoided to reduce the possibility of an oversupply of retail acreage. Strip center development along major roadways should also be avoided, as the plan recommends. The consequences of an oversupply of retail may include: • Vacant, underutilized land; • Lower rental rates leading to undesirable uses; • Pressures for additional multifamily to fill vacant parcels; and • Blighted corridors. Based upon an extremely conservative allocation of retail acres, the Future Land Use Plan may accommodate approximately 750 retail acres. This is significantly higher than the 364 retail acres recommended by the economic analysis. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 350 Item 7. 83 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Ad Valorem Tax Figure 9 : Ad Valorem Estimates An Ad Valorem analysis was conducted. Comparative properties were selected in each of the following Future Land Use Plan categories. Based upon the data collected from the Collin and Denton County Appraisal Districts, an average value per acre was assessed on the comparative properties to derive an estimated value per acre per land use category. The derived value per acre was then multiplied by the total number of acres within each district to calculate the total gross value of the district. Using the current tax rate of .52 cents per $100 of assessed value, an approximate gross Ad Valorem tax contribution per district was calculated. In order to account for right-of-way, such as public streets, and tax exemptions, such as schools and churches, 30% of the total value was subtracted to derive the estimated value and Ad Valorem amount that could be contributed to the General Fund annually. It is important to note that this analysis is for estimation purposes only and is based upon assessed values in 2011 dollars. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the approximate Ad Valorem contributions that could be generated based upon the Future Land Use Plan.

The Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget indicates that the Town of Prosper had a General Fund budget of $7,115,112. When this number is divided by the 2010 population of 9,423, an average per capita expenditure of $755 per person is derived. This per capita expenditure by Prosper is comparable with other regional communities. Southlake has the highest per capital expenditure among the comparative group primarily due to its high residential property values, high-quality non-residential uses and its regional Town Center drawing patrons from outside the community. This situation enables Southlake to provide higher level services and enhanced aesthetics to its residents. The similarities between the economics and vision between Prosper and Southlake are similar in nature. 2010 Population FY 2010-2011 General Fund Budget Per Capita Expenditure Southlake 26,575 $30,410,480 $1,144 Richardson 99,223 $94,180,002 $949 Allen 84,246 $72,270,464 $858 Prosper 9,423 $7,115,112 $755 Argyle 3,282 $2,320,366 $707 Plano 258,841 $182,758,485 $706 McKinney 131,117 $90,788,018 $692 Frisco 116,989 $77,945,250 $666 Celina 6,028 $3,945,684 $655 Desoto 49,047 $29,760,521 $607 Rowlett 56,199 $33,793,677 $601 Little Elm 25,898 $13,157,771 $508 Multiplying the per capita expenditure of $755 per person by the ultimate capacity of 69,303, an ultimate capacity General Fund budget for Prosper of $52,323,765 is derived. Discussed in the previous sections, the approximate Ad Valorem contribution to the General Fund at build-out would be approximately $66.1 million. The approximate sales tax contribution to the general fund based upon the 750 retail acres would be approximately $17.1 million. Based upon this scenario, total General Fund income from taxes at build- out would be approximately $83.5 million. This scenario would position Prosper to be in a similar situation to Southlake and Richardson, enabling the Town to provide high quality services for its residents. It should be noted that additional forms of sales tax, such as Industry Tax and Inventory Tax, are not included and will create additional avenues for income. These numbers are approximate and are derived for estimation purposes only. *This is an estimate based upon the projected sales tax revenue and possible Ad Valorem revenue. This estimate does not include additional forms of sales tax such as Industry Tax and Inventory Tax. Figure 10: Tax Gap Analysis PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 352 Item 7. 85 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Economic Analysis Conclusion Forecasted potential sales tax data indicates that Prosper has the potential to derive a significant monetary amount from sales tax receipts at build-out. This is ultimately dependent upon the community attracting high-quality retail establishments that serve residents of the community and provide regional retail destinations that attract patrons from outside of Prosper. The primary regional destinations will be located within the Town Center and at the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380. Additional retail may be located within the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 380 districts, but will likely be less intense in nature. Retail/Neighborhood Service areas away from the major districts will likely serve the internal needs of Prosper, providing less intensive services to adjacent residential neighborhoods. Additional retail/neighborhood services zoning outside of the Dallas North Tollway, Town Center and Highway 380 districts should be carefully considered in order to avoid an oversupply of retail zoning. Flexibility within the Dallas North Tollway, Highway 380 and Town Center districts will enable Town staff to make appropriate, market-based land use decisions as development occurs. An estimate of Ad Valorem taxes at build-out suggests that Prosper will have the potential for a significant Ad Valorem contribution to its General Fund. Prosper’s high-quality neighborhoods and its dedication to providing high-quality retail destinations will be a primary factor in determining the ultimate Ad Valorem value of the community. As development occurs, the community has expressed a desire to attract the highest quality development possible to protect the Town’s visual character and maximize the taxable value for both the General Fund and Prosper ISD. Future non- residential land use decisions should consider the long-term potential contributions of that particular development to the community, favoring clustered nodal retail activity centers, Class A office space (office space defined by high-quality furnishings, state-of-the-art facilities and excellent accessibility) and corporate campuses over strip retail and stand- alone retail establishments. The retail data provided indicates that the Future Land Use Plan created for Prosper provides a significant amount of retail space to meet the future needs of Prosper residents. The Future Land Use Plan also gives Town Staff, Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council ultimate flexibility to determine where retail areas should be located within the established districts. While the numbers provided are estimates on the potential sales tax and Ad Valorem income of the community at build-out, it is important to note that these are only estimates. To ensure that Prosper has a financially secure future, the land use and character principles outlined in this Plan should be used as a guide to attract the highest quality development possible. High- quality and long-lasting development is ultimately the key in ensuring that Prosper has a sound financial future. Focusing on attracting and maintaining such development will enable Prosper to meet the essential needs of its future residents. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 353 Item 7. 86 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Infrastructure Assessment Planning for and providing infrastructure is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities of a municipality. Citizens need to be secure in the knowledge that they can rely on their local government to ensure that there is adequate and safe water supply and wastewater capacity for current populations and that proper plans are developed to provide for future growth. There are numerous technical studies that can be used to analyze these current and future needs for the Town. This 2012 Comprehensive Plan is not intended to take the place of these detailed technical efforts. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to determine whether the Town has made or plans on undertaking these efforts. This Infrastructure Assessment is intended to provide an overview of Prosper’s infrastructure system and capacity of that system in relation to the current population and the future projected population. Previous Planning Efforts The most recent large scale, in-depth analysis of future water and wastewater needs was completed in 2006 by Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI). At that time FNI developed a Water Distribution Master Plan and a Wastewater Collection Master Plan. These studies analyzed growth based on the Future Land Use Plan in place at that time and used typical usage factors for water and wastewater based on historical water usage and wastewater flows in Prosper. The study developed Capital Improvement Plans intended on implementing the recommendations in the technical studies and provided mapping of the proposed improvements. The Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Plans were updated in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, also performed by FNI. The recommended improvements outlined in the Impact Fee Study are intended to provide the required capacity and reliability to meet projected water demands and wastewater flows through Buildout. Due to timing of the Impact Fee Study and Comprehensive Plan projects, the recommended water and wastewater projects developed in the Impact Fee Study were based on growth rates and Future Land Use Plan developed prior to the 2012 Comprehensive Plan. Infrastructure Goals and Objectives The goal and objectives for infrastructure are shown below: Goal: Ensure that existing water, wastewater and storm drainage systems and future plans adequately serve current and future residents and businesses. Objective 1: Investigate any deficiencies in the infrastructure systems. Objective 2: Develop concepts that will address deficiencies of the infrastructure system. Objective 3: Strive for an infrastructure system that will effectively and economically serve existing and projected needs of the community in a safe and efficient manner. Objective 4: Ensure that infrastructure is compatible or expanded to support future development, specifically in key development areas. Existing Lift Station in Prosper PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 354 Item 7. 87 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Water System Existing Characteristics North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is a regional water provider with a treatment capacity of 770 million gallons of water per day and serves approximately 1.6 million people. NTMWD currently serves water to the Town of Prosper through a 48” transmission line in the northwest portion of NTMWD’s system. The water from NTMWD is dropped into a 3 million gallon (MG) ground storage tank and re- pumped to serve the Prosper distribution system through a 30” water line. The NTMWD delivery point into the Town of Prosper is in the southeast portion of the Town, and this is the only existing treated water delivery point. The Town relies on NTMWD for all treated water and does not utilize existing wells in the system. In addition, there are not emergency water connections with surrounding entities. Storage and Usage The Town had an average daily flow of 1.9 million gallons per day in 2010, and Town records show 3,230 active water accounts. This number includes both normal domestic connections and irrigation-only connections. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires 200 gallons per connection of storage of which 100 gallons must be elevated storage. The Town currently has a 2 million gallon elevated storage tank near Preston Road and First Street and 3 million gallons in ground storage at the NTMWD delivery point. Since the limiting factor in this case is the elevated storage capacity, based on the current elevated capacity of 2 million gallons, the number of connections that would be allowed by TCEQ is 20,000. FNI developed criteria in the 2011 Impact Fee Update for sizing of storage and pumping capacity for the Town. These criteria are more stringent than TCEQ requirements and take into consideration many additional factors including operational flexibility, fire protection, system redundancy, and energy efficiency. The design criteria recommended to size ground storage tank capacity is to provide adequate storage volume to meet 8 hours of maximum day demand. The design criteria recommended for elevated storage capacity is twice the required volume needed to meet 35% of the peak hour demand for a duration of 3 hours. The design criteria recommended for pump station capacity is providing a firm pumping capacity to meet 65% of the peak hour demand. The firm pumping capacity is defined as the total available pumping capacity with the largest pump out of service to each pressure plane. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 355 Item 7. 88 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Considerations for the Future Generally speaking, the planning that has taken place regarding water infrastructure has served the Town very well. The population and land use data in the 2011 Impact Fee Update was used to develop future water demands. Conservation measures in place for the future were taken into account in determining the projected water usage. The current Water System Capital Improvement Plan was completed in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, and recommended improvements to serve the Town through Buildout are shown on Plate4. Since that time, and as a result of this Plan, population growth has changed and land uses have changed. In order to remain relevant, the Capital Improvements Plan should be either revised or updated as plans are developed in order to ensure consistency. Water Short Term Recommendations: 1. Yearly monitoring of growth to guide implementation of water system projects. 2. Evaluate whether the Lower Pressure Plane should be served through a dedicated Lower Pressure Plane Pump Station at the existing NTMWD delivery point site or through a new Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) delivery point on the west side of the Town. This should be determined prior to design of the proposed 42” Lower Pressure Plane line and Pump Station, and this project is recommended to be under design in 2016 based on growth rates and land use assumptions in the 2011 Impact Fee Study. Water Long Term Recommendations: 1. Coordinate with NTMWD to receive additional water supply capacity to meet projected water demands. 2. Continue implementation of the projects indicated in the 2011 Impact Fee Update. 3. Update Water Master Plan and Impact Fee CIP at least every 5 years or more frequently if land use assumptions or service provider assumptions change significantly. 4. Investigate an emergency interconnect with an adjacent entity to increase water system reliability and redundancy. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 356 Item 7.

the NTMWD for wastewater treatment. The treatment plant serving the Town is the Wilson Creek Regional Treatment Plant located near Fairview on Lake Lavon. This plant also serves Anna, Melissa, Princeton, McKinney, Allen, Fairview, Frisco, Lucas, Richardson, Parker, and Plano. The current average day capacity of the Wilson Creek WWTP is 48 MGD, with a build- out capacity of 112 MGD. The NTMWD interceptor runs through the northeast corner of the Town of Prosper. Due to the terrain within the Town, lift stations are required to make the collection system effective and send all wastewater flow to the NTMWD system. The Town currently has 6 large lift stations in operation for this purpose. The Gentle Creek and Steeple Chase lift stations have already been abandoned, and the remainder of the lift stations with the exception of La Cima will be abandoned in the future with proposed projects. Considerations for the Future Generally speaking, the planning that has taken place regarding wastewater infrastructure has served the Town very well. The Town signed an agreement with Upper Trinity Regional Water District (UTRWD) in December 2007 to send a majority of future wastewater flows to an existing UTRWD interceptor in the west side of Prosper. This was a very strategic move for the Town as it will allow the Town to abandon a majority of existing lift stations and significantly reduce capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs by removing lift stations and force mains from the Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan. The current Wastewater System Capital Improvement Plan was completed in 2011 for the Impact Fee Update, and recommended improvements to serve the Town through Buildout are shown on Plate5. As soon as the interceptor from the abandoned WWTP to the UTRWD interceptor is completed, the lift station at the WWTP and 12” force main will no longer be utilized to send Subbasin 2 and 4 wastewater flows to the NTMWD system. The long term plan is to continue to send wastewater flows in Subbasins 5 and 6 to the NTMWD system, and wastewater flows in Subbasins 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be sent to the UTRWD system. Since development of the Capital Improvement Plan for the Impact Fee Update, and as a result of this Plan, population growth has changed and land uses have changed. In order to remain relevant, the Capital Improvements Plan should be either revised or updated as plans are developed in order to ensure consistency. Wastewater Short Term Recommendations: 1. Yearly monitoring of growth to guide implementation of wastewater system projects. 2. Continue to eliminate existing lift stations to reduce O&M costs. Wastewater Long Term Recommendations: 1. Future acquisition of additional wastewater treatment capacity from NTMWD and UTRWD. 2. Continue implementation of the projects indicated in the 2011 Impact Fee Update. 3. Update Wastewater Master Plan and Impact Fee CIP at least every 5 years or more frequently if land use assumptions or service provider assumptions change significantly. 4.

The assessment included a visual inspection, as well as discussions with Town Staff, of several areas within the Town that have flooding or potential flooding issues. The study identified and prioritized storm drain infrastructure facilities across the Town that are in need of replacement or upsizing to anticipate increases in flows or to correct current drainage problems. Eight major maintenance and capital projects and seven routine maintenance projects were identified. All solutions presented in the study were conceptual in nature and only used to provide a range of estimated construction costs for comparison purposes. Each capital project location will require a detailed study by a licensed engineer that should consider other alternatives before a final solution can be determined. As the Town continues to develop, a Comprehensive Drainage Utility System Master Plan should be completed to further identify and refine storm water management projects. The Town is currently not subject to new federal storm water quality regulations (Phase II MS4) that would require the Town to further protect and enhance water quality in creeks and lakes through the development of a storm water quality management program. However, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) will issue the next Phase II MS4 permit in August 2012, and the determination of regulated communities would be based upon each community’s 2010 U.S. Census population. Based on population growth in and around Prosper over the last decade, it is likely that the Town will become subject to the Phase II MS4 requirements. As an operator of a small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), the Town would be required to develop a multi-faceted program to protect storm water quality before it enters creeks, rivers, and lakes. The program includes a number of measures to protect storm water quality, such as the following: • Drainage utility system maintenance; • Structural and non-structural water quality protection measures; • Drainage utility system mapping and inspections; • Public education, outreach and involvement; • Town ordinances regulating construction activity, illicit discharges, and post-construction runoff; and • Town staff training and operations improvements. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 360 Item 7. 93 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT Considerations for the Future As development continues within the Town of Prosper, several actions should be taken to handle drainage and storm water management issues. Storm Water Short Term Recommendations: 1. Consider establishing a program to conduct routine inspections and operations and maintenance (O&M) activities throughout the drainage utility system to minimize flooding potential, reduce creek erosion, and protect storm water quality. 2. Yearly monitoring of capital project needs to guide implementation of storm drain system projects outlined in the 2010 Drainage Utility System Fee Development Report. Storm Water Long Term Recommendations: 1. Develop a Comprehensive Drainage Utility System Master Plan. This plan will provide an in-depth analysis of current drainage facilities and project the need for future facilities (detention, culverts, channel enhancements, etc.) based on the adopted Future Land Use Plan. The drainage utility system master plan can be a powerful tool that helps define the direction of future development, the protection of natural resources, and the integration of public spaces such as parks in the Town. 2. Review current subdivision standards to ensure that new developments bear responsibility to ensure that these developments do not adversely impact the overall storm water system within the Town. 3. Review the drainage utility system fee rates in several years to consider any changes that the Town might want to incorporate in the drainage utility system fee rate. Potential changes might include increased costs for equipment, additional CIP projects that may be needed, increasing water quality regulatory compliance requirements and others. 4. Continue implementation of projects outlined in the 2010 Drainage Utility System Fee Development Report. 5. Prepare a storm water quality management plan and implement over a 5-year period a storm water quality management program to meet the requirements of the pending 2012 TCEQ Phase II MS4 general permit. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 361 Item 7. 94 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Implementation Plan The importance of planning can never be overstated—planning provides for the protection of private property and ensures future development occurs in a coordinated and organized fashion, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The future of Prosper will be shaped with the policies and recommendations developed in this 2012 Comprehensive Plan. Based on this Plan, decisions will be made that will influence many aspects of the Town’s built and social environments. Prosper has taken an important leadership role in defining its future, with the adoption of this Plan. The Plan will provide a very important tool for Town Staff and civic leaders to use in making sound planning decisions regarding the long-term growth and development of Prosper. The future quality of life in Prosper will be substantially influenced by the manner in which the Plan recommendations are administered and maintained. Planning for the Town's future should be a continuous process, and this Plan is designed to be a dynamic tool that can be modified and periodically updated to keep it in tune with changing conditions and trends. Changes in Prosper’ socioeconomic climate and in development trends that were not anticipated during preparation of the Plan will occur from time to time, and therefore, subsequent adjustments will be required. Elements of the Town that were treated in terms of a general relationship to the overall area may, in the future, require more specific and detailed attention. Plan policies and recommendations may be put into effect through adopted development regulations, such as zoning and subdivision, and through capital improvement programs. Many recommendations within the Plan can be implemented through simple refinement of existing Town regulations or processes, while others may require the establishment of new regulations, programs, or processes. This final section of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan describes specific ways in which Prosper can take the recommendations within this plan from vision to reality. Proactive and Reactive Implementation There are two primary methods of Plan implementation: proactive and reactive methods. To successfully implement the Plan and fully realize its benefits, both methods must be used in an effective manner. Both proactive and reactive actions that could be used by Prosper are described within this Implementation Chapter. Examples of proactive methods include: • Establishing or updating subdivision regulations; • Establishing or updating zoning regulations; and • Developing a capital improvements program (CIP), by which the Town expends funds to finance public improvements to meet objectives cited within the Plan. Examples of reactive methods include: • Approving a rezoning application submitted by a property owner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; • Site plan review; and • Subdivision review. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 362 Item 7. 95 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Roles of the Comprehensive Plan Guide for Daily Decision-Making The current physical layout of the Town is a product of previous efforts put forth by many diverse individuals and groups. In the future, each new development that takes place, whether a subdivision that is platted, a home that is built, or a new school, church or shopping center that is constructed, represents an addition to Prosper’ physical form. The composite of all such efforts and facilities creates the Town as it is seen and experienced by its citizens and visitors. If planning is to be effective, it must guide each and every individual development decision. The Town, in its daily decisions pertaining to whether to surface a street, to approve a residential plat, to amend a zoning ordinance provision, to enforce the building codes, or to construct a new utility line, should always refer to the basic proposals outlined within the Comprehensive Plan. The private builder or investor, likewise, should recognize the broad concepts and policies of the Plan so that their efforts become part of a meaningful whole in planning the Town. Flexible and Alterable Guide This 2012 Comprehensive Plan is intended to be a dynamic planning document for Prosper – one that responds to changing needs and conditions. Plan amendments should not be made without thorough analysis of immediate needs, as well as consideration for long-term effects of proposed amendments. The Town Council and other Prosper officials should consider each proposed amendment carefully to determine whether it is consistent with the Plan's goals and policies, and whether it will be beneficial for the long-term health and vitality of Prosper. Annual Review At one-year intervals, a periodic review of the Plan with respect to current conditions and trends should be performed. Such on-going, scheduled evaluations will provide a basis for adjusting capital expenditures and priorities, and will reveal changes and additions that should be made to the Plan in order to keep it current and applicable long-term. It would be appropriate to devote one annual meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission to reviewing the status and continued applicability of the plan in light of current conditions, and to prepare a report on these findings to the Town Council. Those items that appear to need specific attention should be examined in more detail, and changes and/or additions should be made accordingly. By such periodic evaluations, the Plan will remain functional, and will continue to give civic leaders effective guidance in decision-making. Periodic reviews of the plan should include consideration of the following: • The Town's progress in implementing the plan; • Changes in conditions that form the basis of the plan; • Community support for the plan's goals, objectives & policies; and • Changes in State laws. The full benefits of the Plan for Prosper can only be realized by maintaining it as a vital, up-to-date document. As changes occur and new issues within the Town become apparent, the Plan should be revised rather than ignored. By such action, the Plan will remain current and effective in meeting the Town's decision-making needs. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 363 Item 7. 96 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Complete Review and Update with Public Participation In addition to periodic annual reviews, the Comprehensive Plan should undergo a complete, more thorough review and update every 5 or 10 years. The review and updating process should begin with the establishment of a Steering Committee, similar to the one that was appointed to assist in the preparation of this Plan. If possible, this committee or the Planning and Zoning Commission should be in charge of periodic review of the plan. Specific input on major changes should be sought from various groups, including property owners, neighborhood groups, civic leaders and developers and business owners. Regulatory Mechanisms The usual processes for reviewing and processing zoning amendments, development plans, and subdivision plans provide significant opportunities for implementing the Plan. Each zoning, development and subdivision decision should be evaluated and weighed against applicable proposals contained within the Plan. If decisions are made that are inconsistent with Plan recommendations, then they should include actions to modify or amend the Plan accordingly in order to ensure consistency and fairness in future decision-making. Amending the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance represent two major proactive measures that the Town can take to implement 2012 Comprehensive Plan recommendations. Zoning Ordinance Zoning is perhaps the single most powerful tool for implementing Plan recommendations. The Town’s Zoning Ordinance should be updated with the recommendations contained within the chapters of this 2012 Comprehensive Plan. All zoning and land use changes should be made within the context of existing land uses, future land uses, and planned infrastructure, including roadways, water and wastewater. Zoning Text Amendments Consideration should be given to updating areas of the zoning ordinance that may allow ideas, principles or design standards identified within this Comprehensive Plan to be more easily achieved. Their implementation will not only improve future development and interaction between land uses, but will also improve Prosper’s overall image and livability. Such changes may involve landscaping setbacks, non-residential building design, and additional tree requirements, to name a few. These recommendations should be itemized and prioritized, and should be incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance accordingly. Zoning Map Amendments State law gives power to cities to regulate the use of land, but regulations should be based on a plan. Therefore, Prosper’s Zoning Map should be as consistent as possible with the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Future Land Use Plan. It is not reasonable, however, to recommend that the Town make large-scale changes in its zoning map changes immediately. It is therefore recommended that the Town prioritize areas where a change in current zoning is needed in the short-term and that efforts be concentrated on making such changes. In the long-term, consistent zoning policy in conformance with the Future Land Use Plan will achieve the Town’s preferred land use pattern over time. Subdivision Ordinance The act of subdividing land to create building sites has a major effect on the overall design and image of Prosper. Much of the basic physical form of the Town is currently created by the layout of streets, easements, and lots. In the future, the basic physical form of Prosper will be further affected by such action. Requirements for adequate public facilities are essential to ensure the Town’s orderly and PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 364 Item 7. 97 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan IMPLEMENTATION PLAN efficient growth. Plan recommendations, such as cross-access easements, should be incorporated within the Subdivision Ordinance. Implementation Goals and Objectives Implementation is one of the most important, yet most difficult, aspects of the comprehensive planning process. Without viable, realistic strategies for implementation, the recommendations contained within this 2012 Comprehensive Plan will be difficult to realize. The following section contains the original six community goals established within the Community Vision chapter of this comprehensive plan. Under each of the six community goals, more specific objectives are included to guide plan implementation. The objectives listed are derived from recommendations contained within the comprehensive plan document as well as ideas heard from the CPAC and general public. Goal 1. Provide a variety of land uses, in accordance with the vision of Prosper Residents, which diversify the tax base and enable all types of people to live, work, shop, eat and relax in Prosper. Objective 1.1: Provide a range of housing in Prosper, which takes into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicity. Objective 1.2: Maximize development along the Dallas North Tollway by providing opportunities for Class A office space (office space defined by high-quality furnishings, state-of-the-art facilities and excellent accessibility), corporate campus development and mixed-use retail/residential development. Objective 1.3: Create specific landscaping and thematic design guidelines for development along the Dallas North Tollway. Objective 1.4: Promote larger-scale master planned developments over small-scale individual developments along the Dallas North Tollway by discouraging individual developments under 5 acres in size. Objective 1.5: Maximize development opportunity along Highway 380 by providing nodal commercial and retail activity. Retail, commercial, service and big-box uses should be focused primarily around major intersections with mid-block sections being utilized for medium density residential uses and office space. Continuous strip development should be avoided. Objective 1.6: Utilize the Town Center for a regional draw, bringing in patrons from outside of Prosper. Objective 1.7: Ensure that the core of the Town Center contains a higher degree of urban design with buildings situated up to the building line, wide sidewalks, street trees and pedestrian amenities. Preferred examples include the Shops at Legacy and the Shops at Watters Creek. Objective 1.8: Include public space within the Town Center to serve as a focal point for the Town Center and to provide space for community events and festivals. Objective 1.9: Encourage the use of structured parking within the Town Center and Dallas North Tollway Districts to minimize the negative impact of large scale parking lots. Require structured parking to be strategically located to minimize visibility from the public view. Objective 1.10: Include public facilities, such as a new Town Hall, Community Services facility or Library, within the Town Center or Old Town districts. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 365 Item 7. 98 Comprehensive Plan Town of Prosper IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Objective 1.11: Provide a network of connections, both vehicular and pedestrian, that allow movement and access to various portions of the Town Center and adjacent neighborhoods and districts. Objective 1.12: Preserve the integrity of Old Town and encourage complementary and compatible redevelopment and infill development including new single family residences containing a farm/ranch theme, residential to office conversions and “main street” retail with studio apartments along the western end of Broadway. Objective 1.13: Plant trees within the parkway along roads in Old Town to establish a mature tree canopy thereby contributing to the historic theme of the area. Objective 1.14: Utilize the Old Town Roadway Plan to prioritize street improvements within Old Town and utilize street improvements to facilitate new development. Objective 1.15: Utilize the BNSF railroad to create a high-tech, clean industry Business Park. Goal 2. Maintain and enhance the high quality of life and small-town feel currently available and expected by Prosper residents. Objective 2.1: Encourage the implementation of the Parks Master Plan as development occurs to facilitate the creation of an interconnected park and trails system in Prosper at buildout. Objective 2.2: Update the 2004 Facilities Master Plan to ensure that public facilities, such as fire, police and other public services, are coordinated with land use projections in the Future Land Use Plan. Objective 2.3: Work with Prosper Independent School District to coordinate future school facilities planning with land use projections in the Future Land Use Plan. Objective 2.4: Continue to require developers to dedicate 1 acre of park land for every 35 dwelling units constructed. Objective 2.5: Encourage developers to preserve riparian zones and mature tree stands on development sites and utilize such areas for residential park and open space areas. Objective 2.6: Preserve existing tree cover, when possible, by creating a tree preservation ordinance and by conducting a natural assets inventory plan. Objective 2.7: Encourage the use of rural design characteristics on new roadway construction projects including the use of traditional lighting features, wide setbacks, native plant materials, wildflowers and increased tree coverage. Objective 2.8: Utilize cladding and form-lining at culvert crossings to create the impression of a roadway bridge. Objective 2.9: Determine if certain roadways within the community can maintain their existing rural context, particularly roadways that may not require widening to meet future demands. Objective 2.10: Identify roadways that may be intentionally designed to be more rural in character, potentially containing bioswales and other natural drainage features. Appropriate roadways may include those that traverse residential districts and contain little if any commercial development. Objective 2.11: Encourage developers to use native planting materials and rural planting designs within the private setback zone/landscape easement. Objective 2.12: Develop and utilize design guidelines that address the use of rural characteristics on development walls, neighborhood entrances and other accessory strictures visible from the public right-of-way. PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 366 Item 7. 99 Town of Prosper, TX Comprehensive Plan IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Objective 2.13: Consistently use rural architectural/design guidelines within neighborhood service retail centers. Objective 2.14: Consider “dark skies.” Objective 2.15: Work with the Prosper Historical Society to encourage the preservation of key historic landmarks within Old Town and ensure that new development within Old Town is designed to reflect an early 20th century historic theme. Goal 3. Protect the quality and integrity of Prosper’s neighborhoods. Objective 3.1: Encourage the development of quality housing throughout Prosper that meets the needs of a diversity of housing needs, taking into consideration, among other things, data relating to income, education levels and ethnicity, for the full life-cycle of citizens to include, but not limited to: • Ensure that there are provisions for meeting the housing type and affordability needs of families with children, single parents with children, young adults just leaving home, young professionals, empty- nesters retirees and the elderly. • Ensure that there is an adequate supply of workforce housing throughout Prosper for those who work in the service industry in Prosper. • Ensure that all homes are situated with an appropriate level of positive attributes to maintain desirability, value and reinvestment. Objective 3.2: Require the use of long-lasting/durable building materials, such as stone or brick, and encourage the use of high pitched roofs to enhance the overall housing appearance. Objective 3.3: Require the formation of neighborhood associations (HOAs) with all new developments to maintain common property, provide a sense of identity and encourage long-term private property maintenance. Objective 3.4: Encourage developers to include neighborhood amenities such as parks, open spaces, neighborhood pools and other such features which enhance the overall desirability of individual neighborhoods. Objective 3.5: Encourage developers to arrange lots in a manner that maximizes residential access to open space when natural areas are present. Objective 3.6: Work with developers to ensure that the majority of lot sizes within a given development are over 12,500 square feet in size. Objective 3.7: Low density residential areas should not exceed a gross density of 1.6 dwelling units per acre. Objective 3.8: Medium density residential areas should not exceed a gross density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre.

PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 372 Item 7. Old Town Transportation Plan Section A: Four lane divided roadway with a landscaped median and a landscaped parkway separating pedestrians from traffic. This section serves as a major entrance into Old Town from the east. No on-street parking. Section B: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. Wide travel lanes allow for bicycle accommodation and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. No on-street parking. Section C: Two lane divided boulevard with a large center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking is permitted and a landscaped parkway separates pedestrians from traffic. Section D: Two lane undivided urban roadway. Wide 20’ sidewalks accommodate patio seating, pedestrian traffic and street trees. On-street angled parking is permitted and bulb-outs are located at intersections to enhance pedestrian visibility at crosswalks. Section E: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and an immediately adjacent 8’ sidewalk. A large private setback of 25’ is included. Section F: Two lane undivided roadway with on-street parallel parking and a 15’ sidewalk. 10’ of the sidewalk will be located within the right-of-way and the additional 5 feet will be a 5’ setback to building face. Section G: Two lane divided roadway with a center median containing landscaping. On-street parallel parking and a 10’ sidewalk are included. Land Use The predominant land use within Old Town will be single-family residential. All infill development within such areas should conform to the architectural guidelines established for the Old Town district. Such guidelines are created to protect the continuity of look and feel within Old Town. Along Broadway and First Street, single-family uses will gradually transition to boutique, cottage-style office and/or specialty retail uses. Broadway west of Coleman, will be the retail core of the downtown. Shops, restaurants, and small office uses may be located within the main street retail area. This area is intended to be the heart and main activity center of the Old Town Area. As redevelopment occurs, building frontages should be brought to the property line to be consistent with ultimate streetscape improvements. Adjacent to the retail core, a mixed-use district incorporating mixed use lofts/apartments will serve as a buffer between the Business Park and the core of Old Town. This area will also provide rooftops that service adjacent retail establishments. The Green space area will serve as a community park and its location adjacent to the retail core of Old Town and the mixed-use district will make it an opportunistic and useable open space area. Niche retail is recommended along Preston Road and at the northern end of Coleman. Retail development within these areas should fit within the architectural framework of the Old Town area. Setbacks should be reduced, when possible, along Coleman and Broadway to frame the roadways.

Page 1 of 2 To: Mayor and Town Council From: John Web, AICP, Director of Development Services Through: Harlan Jefferson, Town Manager Rebecca Zook, P.E., Executive Director of Development & Infrastructure Services Re: Town Council Meeting – October 27, 2020 Agenda Item: Discussion on a proposed Dallas North Tollway (DNT) Overlay District regarding permitted land uses. Background/Description of Agenda Item: At the September 22nd Town Council meeting, staff reviewed the possible concepts of an Overlay District for properties abutting the DNT. With the DNT anticipated to consist of the most intense land uses and the best opportunity to accommodate employment centers, the Town Council noted the need to protect the potential of the corridor. The Council requested an analysis of the permitted land uses per the current zoning adjacent to the DNT. As referenced on the attached zoning map, the corridor consists of a multitude of “straight” zoning districts and Planned Developments. The majority of the corridor zoned for the straight zoning districts consists of the, 1. Retail (R) District, 2. Commercial (C) District, and the 3. Commercial Corridor (CC) District There are some areas of Agricultural (AG) and Single Family (SF) zoning that were established at the time of annexation that may be the subject of future requests for nonresidential zoning. The AG zoning consists of approximately 35 acres at the southeast corner of DNT and Safety Way. The SF zoning consists of approximately 17 acres and is the site of two (2) of the nonconforming batch plants. The predominant Planned Development Districts (PD’s) along the DNT are noted below. Beginning at the north end of DNT at Frontier Parkway and moving to the south, the PD’s consist of, 1. PD-69 – Metten Tract, located along the east side of the DNT, south of Frontier Pkwy, with a base zoning of Retail; 2. PD-75 – Mandira Realty Tract, located along the west side of the DNT, north of Prosper Trail, with a base zoning of Retail; Prosper is a place where everyone matters. PLANNING Page 380 Item 8. Page 2 of 2 3. PD-33 – Prestonwood Baptist Church, located along the east side of the DNT, south of Prosper Trail, with a base zoning of Office; 4. PD-66 – Star Trail, located along the west side of the DNT, south of Prosper Trail, with a base zoning of Retail; and 5. PD-41 – Prosper West (Children’s Health and Matthews SW), located along the west side of the DNT, north of US 380 with mixed uses. Approximately 1,000 feet of frontage on the east side of the DNT between Prosper Trail and Frontier is zoned PD-35 permitting 419 garden style apartments. In response to the Town Council’s request to understand the number and type of zoning entitled land uses, the attached Exhibits A-C depict the type of land uses either permitted by right or by permitted by Specific Use Permit (SUP) for the above-referenced zoning districts and PD’s. There are 68 land uses permitted by right and 24 land uses permitted upon approval of a SUP along the DNT corridor. In keeping with the anticipated vision of future development along the DNT, Exhibit D is staff’s initial, proposed list of land uses to be either 1) permitted by right, 2) permitted upon approval of a SUP, 3) permitted with conditional development standards, or 4) prohibited. As discussed at the September 22nd meeting, there are additional components of an Overlay District regarding development standards. Most significantly, is the allowance of greater heights and floor area ratios adjacent to DNT to allow property owners to achieve greater intensity of uses as envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. Other components for consideration will include but not limited to building orientation; location of surface and structured parking lots, and landscaping. The Town Council will be provided the opportunity to review these draft standards as step two (2) in the process. Attached Documents: DNT Corridor Zoning Exhibit A Uses permitted in the Retail, Commercial, and Commercial Corridor Districts adjacent to the DNT Exhibit B Uses permitted in PD-33, PD-41, and PD-66 Exhibit C Uses permitted PD-69 and PD-75 Exhibit D Staff’s proposed list of permitted and deleted uses Town Staff Recommendation: In order to maximize the economic potential of the Dallas North Tollway, being a major, regional highway bisecting the Town, staff developed the list of appropriate uses along the DNT. Staff desires feedback on the list and any further input on elements to be considered the next phase of creating the development standards. Page 381 Item 8.

Page 1 of 2 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Dudley Raymond, Parks and Recreation Director Through: Harlan Jefferson, Town Manager Robyn Battle, Executive Director of Community Services Re: Town Council Meeting – October 27, 2020 Agenda Item: Update on the status of the Green Ribbon Project along US 380 and US 289 (Preston Road). Description of Agenda Item: TXDOT began work on the landscape and irrigation for US 380 and US 289 (Preston Road), August 2019. The improvements provided under the Green Ribbon Program include, concrete mow strips, trees, shrub beds and irrigation for trees and planting beds only. It does not include turf irrigation or sod/seeding for grass in the median. A separate agreement has been made with the TXDOT landscape contractor to install irrigation within the turf areas on SH 289. This is similar to the arrangement we had with the TXDOT Green Ribbon Funding project on US 289 that was constructed in 2015. With increased maintenance and irrigation, Staff feels there is sufficient grass on the SH 289 median, and landscape area between the frontage and bridge abutments for the look to be very similar to the remainder of SH 289 in Prosper. On US 380, there will not be turf irrigation or sod added. The existing turf along US 380 is a TXDOT mix, weeds, and less grass than what is inside the town. There is no agreement with Frisco or McKinney for increase costs to provide additional grass and irrigation. Staff feels the lower quality of grass will be not as noticeable, due to the higher speed limits along US 380, being a border road with Mckinney and Frisco, and it is what is typically seen along roads of this size within the metroplex. The half moon beds with shrubs and ornamental trees will still be installed as well as the canopy trees with irrigation as part of the Green Ribbon project. The City of Frisco’s contractor is finalizing the construction of the street lights along US 380 from Lovers Lane to Custer Road. During the construction, it was discovered that there were discrepancies between the light pole locations on the landscape plans and those shown on the street light plans. TXDOT, who is managing the construction of the landscaping project, required revisions to be made to the landscape and irrigation plans to correctly show what has been installed in the field and designed. In researching the discrepancies, it appears that there is fault with the Town's consultant, the lighting designer and contractor. To meet the requirements of Prosper is a place where everyone matters. PARKS & RECREATION Page 401 Item 9. Page 2 of 2 TXDOT, the Town’s consultant is revising the landscape and irrigation plans using the as-built drawings provided by the lighting contractor which were received in early October. Once the revisions are reviewed and approved by TXDOT, the contractor will be allowed to perform work on US 380. Since the Green Ribbon Project has multiple projects tied together, the contractor is not required to install landscaping until all of the projects are ready for the installation of plants. Based on the latest schedule, the plantings along US 289 would be finished mid-April 2021. Town Staff has approached TXDOT about having the contractor finish the construction on the US 289 portion this Fall. If the contractor and TxDOT were willing to allow that portion to be split out, it would require the Town to take over maintenance sooner. TxDOT has not yet indicated if this is a possibility.

Description of Agenda Item: Over the past month, staff and others have continued to plan and work on preparations for the Christmas Festival. During the last Event Committee meeting (September 24), the group discussed the event and the consensus was to continue planning for a festival on December 5. Committee members indicated that it was better to plan for the event hoping it would happen, yet understood there may be things out of the Town’s control that would require the event to be cancelled. Staff continues to watch: state guidelines; changes in state and local infection and hospitalization rates; what other communities and school districts are doing; general attitude and community concerns when the Christmas Festival is discussed; and feedback from vendors and sponsors. Since the last update to Council on September 22, the following incidents have occurred. Town staff will continue to take these and other relevant factors into consideration when planning for the Christmas Festival:  The majority of the Town’s benchmark cities have announced they will cancel or greatly reduce their traditional Christmas events; these decisions have been announced over the last several weeks,  Prosper ISD football games were canceled for two weeks due to COVID,  Celina ISD and Prosper ISD have both closed school campuses for a week,  Collin County and Denton County numbers for infections have started to trend upward, with Trauma Service Area E, Denton County, and Collin County hospitalization rates significantly higher than they were 30 days prior,  Prosper ISD Homecoming Parade has been delayed.
