Development Services staff asked the Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday to continue the public hearing on the proposed Unified Development Code until Oct. 21, 2025, citing outstanding work by the consultant.

The request came during the Planning and Zoning Commission’s regular meeting, when Development Services staff said, "At this time staff is requesting that this item be tabled to the October 21 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting." The commission opened the public hearing and then agreed to leave it open and continue it to the later date.

The staff presentation included a timeline: a council work session on the Unified Development Code was planned for Oct. 14, the commission hearing was to continue Oct. 21, and council consideration was anticipated the following week, as described by staff. Staff told commissioners the applicant and the consultant were still finalizing documents needed for review.

Commissioner Hamilton made a motion to continue the public hearing to Oct. 21; Commissioner Carson seconded. The motion carried on a voice/hand vote recorded as 7–0, and the public hearing was officially continued.

No public speakers addressed the item at the meeting. Commissioners did not take further action on the draft code at this session and did not provide additional direction beyond tabling the hearing.

The continuing public hearing means the commission will consider the completed documents and public testimony at its Oct. 21 meeting before making a formal recommendation to Town Council, which staff indicated is expected to consider the code after the commission and an Oct. 14 council work session.

Prosper residents and applicants interested in participating were told to monitor the town website for the posted materials and the public hearing schedule; staff said the consultant would finalize materials before the continued hearing.
