Planning commission OKs specific-use permit for private streets in Mirabella-area townhomes
Summary
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 3 approved a specific use permit to allow private streets for a proposed 21.4-acre townhome development near University Drive and Lakewood Drive; staff recommended approval and no public comment was received.
The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission voted Feb. 3 to approve a specific use permit allowing private streets for a proposed townhome development on approximately 21.4 acres in the Mirabella area.
Town staff member Dakari told the commission the parcel (described in the application as Jeremiah Horn’s survey, abstract 411, tract 35 with portions of tracts 5 and 48) sits roughly 530 feet north of University Drive and 2,575 feet east of Lakewood Drive. Staff reviewed the four SUP criteria in the staff report, said notices were mailed Jan. 23 and that no citizen responses had been received, and stated, “Town staff does recommend approval of this case.”
The chair opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. After closing the hearing, Commissioner Hamilton moved to approve regular agenda item 4; the motion was seconded and carried, recorded as 6–0 in favor.
Why it matters: the SUP will allow gated-subdivision design elements (private streets) that the town’s zoning ordinance requires to be authorized by a specific-use permit. Staff noted Mirabella to the north also will be a gated subdivision and that the proposal had been through a prior preliminary-plat review on April 1, 2025.
Details and next steps: Town staff said an attorney-reviewed, cleaned draft of associated documents will be circulated to commissioners before the next meeting. If the commission recommends approval at its next meeting, the item will be forwarded to the Town Council for consideration (town-council review was noted for Feb. 24).
