50-acre single-family development moves forward in Prosper

The Prosper Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 in favor of a request to rezone 50 acres north of Prosper Trail for single-family residences at a Jan. 20 meeting.

The details: The property is bisected by a small creek, senior project manager John McKenzie said. Designs for the development will leave open space around the creek to allow for amenities like a playground and a fishing pier.

The backstory: Town staff originally opposed the rezoning because the proposed lot sizes were too small, according to town documents.

Prosper’s Future Land Use Plan recommends the land be used for single-family homes with lots from 12,500-20,000 square feet, and the original proposal for the development showed lot sizes from 11,500-12,500 square feet.

McKenzie said the developers worked with town staff to update the project before it was reviewed by the commission.

Next steps: Following the commission’s recommendation of approval, Prosper Town Council will consider the rezoning request at its Feb. 10 meeting.
