The Town Council and Economic Development Corporation of Trophy Club held a joint meeting on September 22, 2025, focusing on the ongoing development plans for the area, particularly regarding vertical mixed-use projects and parking arrangements.
During the meeting, council members discussed the current site plan, emphasizing the importance of evaluating both its strengths and weaknesses. A key point of contention was the parking situation adjacent to the HD Supply building, which is situated on town-owned property. The Economic Development Corporation owns this property, and the existing parking lot is essential for meeting the parking requirements of HD Supply, which lacks sufficient on-site parking.
Council members highlighted that approximately 190 parking spaces must be maintained to support HD Supply's operations. This requirement complicates any new development plans, as any prospective developer will need to navigate these existing parking needs while also integrating new structures into the site.
The conversation underscored the challenges of developing the area without a comprehensive site plan, as current developments, including restaurants and town hall, lack cohesive integration. Council members expressed the need for careful planning to ensure that future developments accommodate both existing and new parking requirements effectively.
As discussions continue, the council aims to refine the development plan to balance the needs of current businesses with the potential for new growth in Trophy Club.
