Prosper officials are considering new development standards aimed at strategically shaping how land along the Dallas North Tollway develops in the coming years.

Some context: Town officials hired consultant Paris Rutherford to help draft and advise on the proposed standards, which would reorganize Prosper’s tollway corridor into seven subdistricts with specific development goals. Prosper Town Council members are set to consider adopting the standards at their Feb. 24 meeting, after the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval Feb. 17.

What’s happening?: The proposed standards would divide the tollway district into seven subdistricts. Rutherford said a central goal of the new standards is to proactively guide development and set town expectations instead of reacting to individual proposals.

Quote of note: “You’re trying to incentivize folks to come in and build quality,” Rutherford said. “Part of the economic development ... strategy is to devise a plan that gets the market interested, not just in buying and selling land, but developing land.”
