Prosper planning commission approves subdivision of 305 E. Seventh St. into two single‑family lots
Summary
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to approve a planned development to subdivide a roughly 28,000 sq. ft. lot at 305 East Seventh Street into two single‑family lots of about 14,000 sq. ft. each, a size below the Single Family-15 minimum lot area; staff said other nearby lots are similarly sized.
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday approved a planned development to subdivide 305 East Seventh Street into two single‑family lots, voting 5‑0 to accept the proposal subject to town staff recommendations.
Town planning staff told commissioners the property at 305 East Seventh Street is about 28,000 square feet and was platted as a single lot in March 2015. The applicant requested a planned development so the parcel could be subdivided into two lots of roughly 14,000 square feet each, short of the Single Family‑15 district minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet.
"Town staff is recommending approval," Planning staff said during the public hearing.
Staff said both proposed lots would meet Single Family‑15 standards for front, side and rear yard setbacks, with the exception of minimum lot area. The staff presentation noted the proposed lots are compatible with nearby development and that several surrounding lots are already smaller than 15,000 square feet.
Michael Hodges, the applicant, attended the hearing and said he was "just here to acknowledge" the request and confirmed the intention is to create two lots for resale and subsequently build single‑family homes on each parcel.
Commissioner Furey moved to approve the planned development for Case ZON‑24‑0002, subject to town staff recommendations; Commissioner Hamilton seconded. The motion carried 5‑0.
The commission opened and closed the public hearing on the item during the June 3 meeting. The town staff report identified the propertyfuture land use designation as Old Town District. No conditions or amendments to the staff recommendation were recorded in the meeting minutes.
