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 4: Require high-quality
and visually attractive
architectural characteristics in
both residential and non-
residential developments.
2012 Comprehensive
Plan
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.
1.3: Create specific landscaping and thematic design guidelines for development along the Dallas North
Tollway.
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.
Other Design Considerations in the Implementation Plan:
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.
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.
