The applicant, Toll Brothers, is seeking a planned development on about 373.5 acres south of Parvin Road and east of FM 1385 that would allow up to 800 single‑family homes split across two tracts: a 181.8‑acre eastern tract with a maximum of 275 single‑family homes and a 191.7‑acre western tract with up to 525 age‑restricted (55+) single‑family homes. The commission voted to table the item to its July 15 meeting; the case remains scheduled for Town Council on July 22, per staff.

Why it matters: the proposal would change the town’s future land‑use pattern in this area and add a large age‑targeted community to Prosper’s housing mix. Commissioners cited the size and configuration of lots, how amenities are distributed across the site, and architectural rules — especially allowances for cementitious fiberboard on front facades — as unresolved issues that need more detail before the commission forwards a recommendation to council.

Key details from the proposal and staff presentation:
- Overall acreage: about 373.5 acres.
- Maximum units: 800 total (Eastern tract: up to 275 units on ~181.8 acres; Western tract: up to 525 age‑restricted units on ~191.7 acres).
- Densities cited by the applicant: eastern tract about 2.1 dwelling units per acre; western tract about 3.0 dwelling units per acre.
- Lot types and minimum dimensions listed in the PD draft: eastern tract Type A lots — 12,500 sq ft (min. 80 ft width x 135 ft depth); Type B — 10,000 sq ft (min. 75 ft x 125 ft). Western tract Type C — 10,000 sq ft (75x125); Type D — 8,800 sq ft (65x125); Type E — 7,500 sq ft (55x125). Staff flagged that the western tract’s lot mix requires changing the future land‑use designation for that tract from medium to high density.
- Open space and amenities: eastern tract requires at least 30 acres of open space (areas may be noncontiguous but each must be at least 10,000 sq ft and 40 ft wide); a resident amenity must be completed prior to certificate of occupancy (CO) issuance for the 138th home of the eastern tract. The western (age‑restricted) tract requires at least 20 acres of open space and an amenity center (to be completed prior to CO issuance for the 260th home), a swimming pool and other features listed in the PD.
- Architectural standards in the draft PD: primary facades are required to be masonry; the PD text allows cementitious fiberboard to count as masonry in certain places and percentages (for example, up to 80% on some modern farmhouse facades above the first story in specified product types and up to 50% on other façades). Roofing materials, minimum roof pitches, and permitted exterior claddings are prescribed in the draft.

Points raised by commissioners and staff: several commissioners said they were not comfortable with the proposed smallest lot widths on the western (age‑restricted) tract (55 ft was flagged repeatedly) and asked the applicant to increase minimum widths, with multiple commissioners indicating a 65‑ft minimum would be preferable. Commissioners also urged a more distributed amenity strategy — specifically asking for an additional, smaller amenity or pocket park in the southern portion of the western tract so residents would not all have to travel to a single, northern amenity area. Several commissioners asked staff and the applicant to tighten the list of permitted uses in the PD so future “by‑right” uses align with the residential character shown in the concept plans.

Applicant presentation and response: Mike Boswell, representing Toll Brothers, described the two‑tract concept as a market‑rate eastern neighborhood and an active‑adult/age‑targeted western neighborhood with a larger amenity center. Boswell said the applicant treats the age‑targeted product as a nationally managed Regency line and presented conceptual amenity images and architecture samples. He said the developer intends to refine architecture and finish choices, and emphasized that some details (for example, how Parvin Road will align in the long term) are being coordinated with regional road and drainage planning. \"We are here tonight to talk about the Prosper Oaks development to your community,\" Boswell said in his opening remarks.

Several commissioners and the applicant agreed that the narrow parcel north of the realigned Parvin Road created by the planned road geometry is awkward and may be one of the later pods to develop; commissioners asked for additional options or flexibility for that portion of the site.

Public participation: staff reported two written forms of support filed before the hearing. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing; two people filed speaker cards in support from outside Prosper.

Formal action: Commissioner Hamilton moved to table the public‑hearing items (items 4 and 5 on the agenda) to the July 15 P&Z meeting; Commissioner Carson seconded. The motion carried 5‑0.

What’s next: the applicant will revise the PD text and exhibits to respond to the commission’s comments and return to the commission on July 15; staff noted the case is scheduled for Town Council on July 22. The commission emphasized it wants clearer lot‑width minimums, a more distributed amenity program (particularly for the age‑restricted tract), and tightened language on permitted uses and exterior materials before forwarding a recommendation to council.

Ending: The tabled status preserves the applicant’s ability to refine the PD text and drawings; commissioners indicated they expect a revised submittal addressing lot widths, amenity distribution and architectural standards before making a recommendation to council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Prosper - Planning and Zoning Commission - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on June 17 voted 5-0 to table a request by Toll Brothers to rezone 373.5 acres for a planned development called Prosper Oaks, citing unresolved questions about lot sizes, amenity distribution and exterior materials.","taxTitle","Prosper, Collin County, Texas","taxId",54250,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6554897,"Residents press town to update lighting ordinance; property owner asks for variance during public comment",251,1677000,1928000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3869014-f4782daebbc729ea212454f6b25305bd&start=1677&end=1928","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3869014-f4782daebbc729ea212454f6b25305bd/thumbnail_1677000.jpg","/articles/6554897/Prosper/Collin-County/Texas/Residents-press-town-to-update-lighting-ordinance-property-owner-asks-for-variance-during-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554897-a6216fd0aa305ff6fbd941c617f50a3c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383368&Signature=oGYg6LLpHDYqSWDaco6-cgzE~npsnz7QOidLcoifMynbBWlv0hOz5ozIj0cu1oDc3Cuqv7QPBlweYN6tpeUvvizsafPNsxPaLe5iQrAY7j2dhX33qhr33UTynYKNiQKS-sMtXRlE5-rdYPYCNaPIzAgGsqf~WTjkRQz~7gbM7ZiTbGUSa-D5Am9mIf0WUWkqYE5-WgD5kbaaHE439c-9CtMKRp6jUbH2bDzQVIbC2df-cpXIz4bJYu7B~RrZdFsm7AvgOnDjaNdPkZedQTC8oYbepaiL6PxtHPLSjVcVAVzD9mPxj2NzTvJ7-8Ar3L8WKeMwM-4vC4uC0lSQYw4s-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public‑comment portion of the June 17 meeting, two people addressed the Planning and Zoning Commission on non‑agenda matters: one asked the commission to update town lighting rules, and the other sought help resolving zoning/parking impediments caused by a recent street realignment.

Fred Costa, who identified himself in the meeting, urged the town to update Section 4.6.x of the zoning ordinance to regulate light by luminous flux (lumens) rather than by lamp wattage, and to remove a motion‑sensor exemption that currently allows very bright LED fixtures between homes. Costa said the present wattage‑based exemption permits modern, low‑wattage LED fixtures to produce excessive brightness and light trespass. \"We need to update that for lumens and not, you know, watts,\" Costa said, noting the ordinance references several subsections (transcribed as 4.6.08, 4.6.05 and 4.6.09). He told commissioners the current language risks nuisance and potential neighbor disputes.

A second speaker, who identified herself as Carmen and said she owns or occupies an 860‑square‑foot property she rezoned to permit a small barber shop, said a street expansion removed a strip of her lot and pushed her building into nonconformance with required setbacks. Carmen said the loss of property left her about one foot short of a required side setback and that she also faces parking shortfalls for the proposed business. \"I'm not able to do that because... I'm missing one foot to the west side,\" she told the commission, asking staff and commissioners for guidance and a variance so she can expand the structure by roughly 500 square feet to make the barber shop viable.

Staff took no formal action during public comment. Commissioners thanked both speakers; the public comments were recorded and will be part of the meeting minutes.

Ending: Neither item required an immediate staff response or a formal vote, but staff and commissioners may pursue ordinance revisions or a variance process in follow‑up depending on the speakers' next steps.","Two members of the public used the June 17 public comment period to urge ordinance changes on residential exterior lighting and to request variances for a small commercial conversion and parking setbacks caused by a street widening.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6554902,"Commission approves lot‑frontage waivers, site plans and a preliminary plat; multiple items passed 5‑0",420,256000,676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3869014-f4782daebbc729ea212454f6b25305bd&start=256&end=676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3869014-f4782daebbc729ea212454f6b25305bd/thumbnail_256000.jpg","/articles/6554902/Prosper/Collin-County/Texas/Commission-approves-lotfrontage-waivers-site-plans-and-a-preliminary-plat-multiple-items-passed-50","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554902-00b03e7671f67fcd98f90b170b0d77c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1775383368&Signature=GverhNyt9aKBpXT37ILqTCpjP0NfyYPv6V3Bn7BxEYmtd8ZemqI4QqHQMHo4-XpLqaIQAxnWpAFkNitc54t72leAZqjHCuEAx25mE1a47N0etLLfka8Nt1Rz4O9UgTTxtQWwhIT3aTwdn~e6u2HJJZdE5JeRcyXTYXO3i2MMy6-cUVU6lEFZwFThQKDsDp6tyeHCSHXvoXOOdDmux2osU-wG3QB9vGAZotKlJJyXIKMwCmdhOPwp7bbHneJDaWomGHWlVYldVYZi6JcsIKJ9BP6BWXW8-~HdOBCLBo8eA4bxkhxtvUgRCqC50M5JZNgIsWd0nsoEFKjtICEfr-lK9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on June 17 approved a set of consent items related to multiple commercial and subdivision proposals, including waivers from the town’s subdivision frontage requirements and the corresponding preliminary site plans and conveyance plat. All motions on these items passed unanimously, 5‑0.

What the commission approved:
- Items 3e and 3f: A waiver to allow Lot 3 in Frontier South Block A to have frontage on a fire‑lane/access/utility/drainage easement instead of a public right‑of‑way, and the preliminary site plan for Frontier South Block A Lots 1 through 3. The site plan calls for two restaurant/retail buildings on Lots 1 and 2 and a retail building on Lot 3 totaling approximately 62,730 square feet. Staff conditioned approval on recordation of a plat to subdivide the property and on Town Council approval of the waiver. Commissioner Hamilton moved to approve 3e and 3f; Commissioner Carson seconded. Motion carried 5‑0.
- Items 3j, 3k and 3l: A companion group of items that included a waiver for lot frontage for Lots 3 and 9 (allowing those lots to front onto a filing/access/utility/drainage easement), a preliminary site plan for multiple lots (Lots 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9) with a combined building area of about 139,165 square feet (restaurants, retail, health studio and parking), and a conveyance plat creating Lots 3, 5, 8 and 9. Staff conditioned approval on recordation of a plat prior to development and on Town Council approval of the lots that do not front a public right‑of‑way. Commissioner Hamilton moved to approve the items subject to staff comments; Commissioner Furey seconded. Motion carried 5‑0.
- Item 3m: A preliminary plat creating residential lots in a new subdivision. Staff said the new plat increases the lot count from the prior preliminary plat by three lots (from 285 to 288). Commissioners asked about lot widths and whether the smallest allowed lot width in the zoning text (55 feet) appeared on the submitted plat. An engineer representing the applicant stated that the smallest proposed lots on the submitted plat are 60 feet in width; staff confirmed the submitted lots meet the PD requirements as drawn. Commissioner Blanton moved to approve item 3m; Commissioner Hamilton seconded. Motion carried 5‑0.

Staff and technical notes: For the site plan that includes Lot 3 (the back lot without public‑street frontage), staff noted that Hartman and the fire department reviewed the plans and raised no concerns about emergency access. Screening along the southern boundary of one site will be a living screen (American pillar arborvitae or Carolina cherry laurel) where the property abuts a lot zoned single‑family; staff requested living‑screen details be submitted with the Lot 2 site plan. Several approvals were conditioned on recordation of plat documents before building permits are issued and on Town Council approval of nonfronting lots.

Votes and motions recorded in the meeting transcript match the approvals above and are recorded as 5‑0 in favor for each of the items described.

Ending: The approvals allow the applicants to move forward to plat recordation and site plan finalization, subject to the staff conditions noted on the record.","The commission approved multiple consent items on June 17, including subdivision waivers that allow lots to front onto utility or access easements rather than public rights of way and related preliminary site plans and conveyance plats. A separate preliminary plat was also approved.","actionData","errors"]
