Prosper council approves 775-home neighborhood off Parvin Road

Prosper residents can expect to see a new housing development off Parvin Road following council approval of a zoning change. 

What happened: At an Oct. 14 meeting, Prosper Town Council members voted to approve a zoning change for the Prosper Oaks housing development, with council member Marcus Ray voting against the decision. The 374-acre development will include 775 single-family homes across two tracts.

The details: The applicant, Toll Brothers, asked for a zoning change that would rezone the property from an agricultural designation to a planned development with single-family designations. The east side of the property will include 275 single-family homes, and the west side will include 500 single-family homes for residents 55 years and older, according to town documents.

Some context: The proposal was first presented June 17 and was tabled twice by Planning and Zoning commissioners prior to their Aug. 5 vote to unanimously deny the development.
