I. PURPOSE AND INTENT

attract investment and re-investment over time.
The goals of this district are

based Planned Development zoning district.
2. To provide for a mix of residential, retail and office uses in a pedestrian-friendly
environment.
The intent of this district is
3. To design streets and buildings which will contribute to creating safe neighborhoods.
4. To provide an attractive environment for pedestrians which include such things as
buildings framing public space, street trees, lighting and canopies that will attract
pedestrians.
5. To encourage the construction of buildings in close proximity to the sidewalk and
street in order to enhance the “small town” feel.
6. To contribute to the definition and use of public parks and plazas.
7. In the Village area, to construct continuous building frontage along block faces
except where it is desirable to provide for pedestrian and auto pass-throughs to
parking at mid block.
8. In the Village area, to provide shared parking both on-street and in the center of
blocks that will benefit the entire district.
The Trophy Club Village PD is intended to provide the community with a mixture of
housing types and additional commercial/retail development in a pattern and amount that
will encourage sustainable neighborhoods and development.

element in order to establish a terminated vista, unless the street terminates
into a golf course, park, trail or natural area.

delineated in the Trophy Club Village
Concept Plan (Exhibit 1).
C. Streetscape Standards
1. General
a. The streetscape standards of Trophy
Club Village are based on safety,
comfort and walkability. Trophy Club
Village is conceived as the sum of a
number of interconnected, walkable
neighborhoods, and the arrangement of
streetscape elements that make walking
much more safe and desirable by creating a buffer from the vehicular lanes of
the street, providing shade, calming auto traffic speeds, and enhancing the
street’s aesthetics. Proper species selection and placement of street trees also
creates a “comfort zone”—an outdoor room created by the street trees and the
fronts, stoops and porches of adjacent homes that allows for casual
conversation, chance meetings and strong neighbor-to-neighbor relationships
that enhance neighborhood stability and security.
b. The public streetscape is defined as the section of the right-of-way between
the property/lot line and the vehicular lanes, and generally consists of a
parkway/planting strip for street trees at the street’s edge and continuous
sidewalks. The public streetscape also includes elements such as lighting and
street furnishings, and intersection features such as crosswalks and bulb-outs.
The public streetscape and the private frontage shall be integrally designed.
The public streetscape shall recognize existing conditions such as existing
woodlots, specimen trees, a dramatic view or an attractive rural landscape
character.
58
c. Buildings should shall not back on to any street, they should shall either
“side” or “face” on to all streets in order to eliminate the need for screening
walls.
2. Trophy Club BoulevardDrive
a. Trophy Club Blvd’s Drive’s streetscape is defined in the Trophy Club Village
Street Types (Exhibit 2 Street Types)
b. Street trees selected from Tree List below shall be spaced regularly, no more

Street Types (Exhibit 2 Street Types).
b. Street trees shall be selected from the Tree List below and be spaced regularly
at no more than 50 feet apart and aligned in a regular allee.

alignment with the property line separating residential lots, and be planted
within the property line parallel to alley but outside the rear fence line.

Sycamore and October Glory Maple. THOUGH NOT RESTRICTED BY
ORDINANCE, STAFF DISCOURAGES BOTH LIVE OAKS AND
PECANS AS THEY PRODUCE LARGE AMOUNTS OF ORGANIC
DROPPINGS.
b. For residential streets, alleys, mews and the residential frontages of Trophyof
Trophy Club Drive, the above list can be expanded with the addition of Pecan,
Texas Ash, Live Oak, Southern Magnolia, Bald Cypress and “Little Gem”

pedestrian experience in front of larger buildings and to break up large
impervious surfaces between parking areas and the building. Foundation
planting trees shall be planted within approximately 30 feet of the front
façade and are required in addition to any street trees or streetscaping trees
required herein. Tree grates may shall be utilized for trees planted less

reinforced concrete, or other similar masonry materials that have a similar
finish to the primary finish; and all fence posts shall be rust-protected
metal, concrete based masonry or concrete pillars.

the building.)
ii. Only one building façade with a primary entrance may be used to calculate
wall signage.
iii. Wall signs may be placed on any face of the building.
