Prosper council approves 49.9‑acre McCaslin Tract rezoning to planned single‑family development
Summary
The Prosper Town Council voted unanimously Feb. 10 to rezone about 49.9 acres known as the McCaslin Tract from agricultural to a planned development for single‑family homes, after staff described lot sizes, open space and traffic‑calming features and the planning commission recommended approval.
The Prosper Town Council unanimously approved a request to rezone roughly 49.9 acres known as the McCaslin Tract from agricultural to a planned development for single‑family residences.
City planner David Hoover presented the proposal and told the council the future‑land‑use designation is medium‑density residential and the plan largely aligns with SF‑12.5 standards, with lots of at least 12,500 square feet and some as large as 14,000–15,000 square feet. He said the design preserves a floodplain that bisects the tract and incorporates trails, park sites and a water feature as neighborhood amenities. "The site is referred to as the McCaslin Tract," Hoover said, noting staff and the planning commission worked with the applicant to revise lot depths, street geometry and open‑space elements so the project met town standards.
Developers answered council questions about amenities and trails. John McKenzie of M and A Devco said amenity selections will be finalized when builders are chosen and that the pond and a pier will be part of the plan; engineering consultant Tristan Poor said the existing pond is roughly half an acre and could grow "three or four times" its current size as part of reclamation and grading work.
Council members queried traffic‑calming measures for the relatively long street segments, and staff said curvilinear street design is the preferred mitigation under the town ordinance for streets longer than 800 feet. With those concessions and a unanimous Planning & Zoning recommendation earlier, a council member moved to approve the rezoning, the motion was seconded by Council member Cameron Reeves, and the council voted to adopt the planned development.
The approval includes the amenity and lot‑table provisions described by staff. The council closed the public hearing after receiving no public comments and confirmed staff and the applicant had worked to address initial plan differences raised in early submittals.
What’s next: The rezoning ordinance will be posted with the official minutes and the developer will proceed with final platting and construction‑phase permits subject to standard town review and inspections.
