STAFF REPORT
TO: PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING CONSULTANTS
MEETING DATE: APRIL 26, 2006
SUBJECT: DR HORTON PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING
CHANGE REQUEST
PURPOSE: Hold a public hearing and consider making a recommendation to
the Town Council regarding a request to change the zoning on approximately
479 acres of land zoned “R-15” Single Family Residential District, approximately
218 acres of land zoned “R-12” Single Family Residential District, approximately
25 acres of land zoned “PD-12” Lakeside, and approximately 0.2 acres of land

The Highlands at Trophy Club for a total of approximately 697.4 acres of land
located generally north of Oakmont Drive, Oak Hill Drive and the Quorum
Condominiums, east of The Lakes subdivision and Parkview Drive, south of the
Corp of Engineer’s property and west of the Town’s eastern town limit.
APPLICANT/DEVELOPER INFORMATION:
Applicant: Carter & Burgess, Inc.
7950 Elmbrook Drive
Dallas, Texas 75247
Developer: DR Horton
6751 North Freeway
Fort Worth, Texas 76131
EXISTING CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY: This property consists of
approximately 697.4 acres abutting the golf course, the Army Corp of Engineers
property and the existing developments within the Town of Trophy Club. This
vacant, undeveloped property is under single ownership and comprises a
majority of the remaining undeveloped property in the Town. Approximately
one-hundred fifteen (115) acres of land within the area being rezoned is
classified as floodplain and/or flowage easement. There are five (5) gas well
sites located within this proposed development.
7
ADJACENT ZONING/EXISTING LAND USES:
North: Outside City Limits (ETJ) / Vacant/undeveloped land (Army Corp of
Engineers property)
South: CR, R-10, R-OH, R-OHP, R-TT, PD-11, R-11 / Single family residential
dwellings, condominiums, and Trophy Club Country Club.
East: Outside City Limits (ETJ) / Vacant/undeveloped land ( Army Corp of
Engineers property)
West: PD-15 and Outside City Limits (Marshall Creek) / Single family
residential dwellings (The Lakes in Trophy Club City Limits)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS:
When DR Horton initially submitted its application, the Town’s Planning
Consultant and Staff were unable to determine the density based on the
information they submitted. As such, the Consultant and Staff had to make the
assumption that the applicant’s proposal was extremely dense, more so than
that recommended within the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Based on this
information, the Town’s Consultant recommended that the applicant request a
Comprehensive Plan amendment by creating a new Future Land Use category
of Mixed Use/Traditional Neighborhood Design. The applicant provided the
Town with this request. On the December 20th re-submittal to the Town, the
overall density was proposed at 3.32 units per acre (gross). However, because
the Comprehensive Land Use Map designated this property as Estate Residential
(2 units/acre) and Low Density (3 units/acre) a request to amend the
Comprehensive Plan was still warranted.
On March 2, 2006, DR Horton resubmitted its application showing a gross density
of 2.82units/acre. The Future Residential Use section of the Comprehensive Plan
not only identifies density, it also recommends maximum lot sizes; however, the
Plan allows for deviation from the lot sizes so long as the overall density does not
exceed 3 units per acre. The following language is an excerpt from the Plan:
“While the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map had designated the majority of
future residential land area as estate or low density residential, the use of
Planned Unit Developments may be a method of providing smaller lot residential
development where appropriate. When Planned Unit Developments are
proposed provision of amenities such as common recreational areas and gated
access may be utilized. It must be understood that the residential categories
shown on the Land Use Plan are general in nature and should be considered
8
with a great deal of flexibility. At some locations, residential densities may be
larger or smaller than generally indicated. The function of this map is to translate
general development guidelines and not to provide area, square footage, or lot
dimensions. Although there are definitely area, square footage, and lot
dimensions relative to residential areas of this type, the particulars of these
measurements are approximately as defined in the zoning ordinance and not
the Land Use Plan. However, the goal for Planned Unit Developments is, that
even while some lot sizes may be greatly reduced, the overall density for the
total Planned Unit Development shall not exceed 3 units per acre.”
The current submittal, dated April 17, 2006, indicates a gross density of 2.4 units
per acre and net density of 2.8 units per acre. The overall density of the
development does not exceed 3 units per acre. Therefore, it is the opinion of
the Town’s Planning Consultant that the proposed development lies within the
density limits outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and a Comprehensive Plan
amendment is no longer warranted.
CASE ANALYSIS:
The newest submittal for The Highlands at Trophy Club, dated April 17, 2006, has
been revised pursuant to suggestions/recommendations made by the
Commission at their April 13, 2006 meeting. The applicant has increased the
number of Lot Types 1 and 2 to equal 38.2% of the lots. The revised submittal
reflects the elimination of the 6,000 square foot lots (Lot Type 5 in the April 12th
submittal) as requested by the Commission. The number of townhome lots (Lot
Type 5) has been reduced to 165 lots, approximately 10% of the total lot count.
There has been a reduction in the total number of lots from 1,699 to 1,620 lots.
The following chart illustrates the differences between the April 12th and April 17th
submittals.

The Commission made several recommendations regarding the desired number
of each type of lot. The revised submittal reflects an increase in the number of
Lot Types 1 and 2 which exceed the Commission’s desired amount. The number
of Lot Types 3 and 4 has been increased since the April 12th submittal; however,
the revised submittal does not reflect the total number of Lot Types 3 and 4
desired by the Commission. (See chart below)
The Commission also made a recommendation regarding the desired
percentage of each type of lot. The Commission expressed a desire for 44%
percent of the lots to be Lot Type 1 and 2 with a majority of these being Lot Type
1. The revised submittal reflects 38.2% of the lots being Lot Type 1 and 2;
however, approximately 75% of these lots are Lot Type 2. The percentages for
the remaining lots appear to have been addressed in accordance with the
Commission’s recommendation.
The following chart illustrates the Commission’s desired lot counts and
percentages as well as what the applicant is proposing in the April 17th
submittal.
The applicant is proposing to construct single family residential houses in eight
(8) neighborhoods and is showing a ninth (9th) neighborhood to be a mix of
single family residential structures and a townhome community. The Concept
Plan shows the provision for an amenity center in the townhome community.

There is approximately 13 acres of land being shown as the “Village Center”
which will include commercial and retail establishments. The Concept Plan
shows approximately 3.6 acres of land being designated for municipal facility.
According to the Concept Plan, approximately one-hundred fifteen115 acres of
land is designated as floodplain/flowage easement and is being dedicated to
the Town for public open space. An additional 27 acres of land is being
dedicated to the Town as parkland for a total of 142 acres of parkland and
open space or approximately 20% of the site.
At their April 13th meeting, the Commission discussed the proposed townhome
community in detail and requested the applicant to provide several alternative
layouts. The applicant has provided three (3) townhome community layouts.
The first layout is as shown on the Concept Plan. This plan shows Type 4 lots
located adjacent to Trophy Club Drive and in the northern portion of the
neighborhood adjacent to the road leading to the public park. According to
this plan, there would be a gated entry from both Trophy Club Drive and the
park road with a masonry screening wall being provided along the park road.
Townhome Exhibit “B” shows an increase in the number of townhome lots. The
only single family lots are located along the park road. Townhome lots would be
located adjacent to Trophy Club Drive with a landscaped buffer between the
street and the townhome lots. This plan shows gated entries in the same
location and provides for a masonry screening wall along the park road with a
combination masonry screening wall and wrought iron fence along Trophy Club
Drive.
Townhome Exhibit “C” is very similar to Townhome Exhibit “B”. Townhomes are
located fronting along Trophy Club Drive with a minimal landscape buffer. This
plan shows gated entries in the same location with a masonry screening wall
along Trophy Club Drive and the park road. There would be no wrought iron
fencing allowed with this plan.
Each proposed layout includes the provision of a townhome community
amenity center.
FINDINGS:
After a complete and detailed review of the Development Standards, the
Town’s Planning Consultants have the following recommendations:
13
1. In all residential lot standards, add a regulation for garages that states
“Minimum two car garage with minimum dimensions of 19.5 feet by 21.5 feet.
(Sections IV.A-E.5, Pages 7, 9, 11, 14, 16)
Justification: This request has been made in the past 2 workshops
by one of the P&Z Commissioners and has not been addressed.
2. Provide the following definition for “Townhome Structure”: “A structure
containing no more than three (3) single family attached dwelling units, each
unit on a separately platted lot, which is joined to another selling unit on one
or more sides by a party wall or abutting walls.” (Section III, Pages 3-4)
Justification: Townhome Structures are referenced in several areas;
however, there are no regulations defining what could constitute a
Townhome Structure. This definition would provide the appropriate
regulations.
3. In Neighborhood Regulations, change the wording “Neighborhood __ should
include” to read “Neighborhood __ shall include”. (Sections V.A-I, Pages 18-
20)
Justification: The word “should” is suggestive and the word “shall” is
definitive and eliminates an opportunity for problems with
interpretation.
4. For the architectural features for garages on Lot Types 3 and 4, include a
minimum 6” to 8” separation between the two separate bays. (Sections
IV.C.5, Page 11 and IV.D.5, Page 14)
Justification: This requirement would help make the architectural
feature of two separate bays more noticeable.
5. Remove four foot (4’) covered porte cochere as an architectural feature for
garages on Lot Types 3 and 4 or provide an example of how this works.
(Sections IV.C.5, Page 11 and IV.D.5, Page 14)
Justification: The Building Official has reviewed this proposed
architectural feature and is unsure how this can be accomplished.
It seems that a porte cochere covering the front of a garage would
be nothing more than a 4 foot eave or partial carport.
6. Change the wording for Front Yards on Lot Type 4 to read: Front yard
setbacks shall vary and shall be shown on the final plat for the subdivision. To
create a variety of front yards on each street, a relatively equal number of
14
lots shall be platted with 20 foot, 23 foot, and 26 foot minimum front yards.
(Section IV.D.5, Page 13)
Justification: The Commission has expressed concern regarding
language that is easier to interpret. The Town’s Planning Consultant
believes this proposed language is easier to interpret and enforce
administratively.
7. There is a conflict in the acreage amounts of the floodplain/flowage
easement. Table 5-1 on Page 23 shows 115.5 and Section VII on Page 40
refers to 105 acres. Which one is correct?
Justification: Conflicting language.
8. There are areas shown on the Concept Plan that appear to be open space
areas but not part of the proposed public parks or the floodplain/flowage
easements dedicated to the Town. Who is to maintain these areas? Prior
submittals (December 20, 2005) had a provision for the establishment of a
Home Owner’s Association within each neighborhood.
Justification: Areas such as those between the lots and the
floodplain/flowage easement along the northern edge of
Neighborhood 1 are shown as open space on the Concept Plan.
Clarification of what these areas are designated as and who is
responsible for maintenance should be included in Section VIII “Park
and Open Space Requirements” on Page 39.
9. Remove the heading “Alphabetize Uses” from the list of Permitted Uses.
(Section V.J.1, Page 22)
Justification: This was a comment made by Town Staff in a previous
review. This item has never been addressed.
10. Add a minimum 3” caliper size to the provisions in Sections VI.D.1.a and
VI.D.1.b on Page 35.
Justification: A minimum caliper size for street trees should be
included to ensure the major street is adequately landscaped.
11. The Town’s Planning Consultants recommend including the following
additions to the “Gifts to the Streets”, Section VI.F.1, Page 36 including:
• Bricked floor entries
• Minimum 2 elevation planes offset by 2 feet
15
• Transom windows
• Variable roof pitch minimum 8:12, minimum 30% over 8:12
• Shutters
Justification: This adds to the list of architectural features giving
more flexibility to the builders.
12. In Section VI.F.3, Page 37, “Garages”, add a third requirement that states
“Lots adjacent to alleys shall have rear loaded garages.
Justification: It could be implied or interpreted in the lot regulations
for lots abutting an alley than the garage is rear loaded; however,
this is not explicitly stated in the Development Standards. This
requirement would avoid any future conflicts in interpretation.
13. Include a new provision under Section VI.F entitled “Elevations” and add the
following language: “Single family house plans (Types 1-5) shall vary from lot
to lot. Flipped home plans (i.e. garage left, garage right) shall not constitute
sufficient variation. Sufficient variations may include square footage
variations (+/- 10%) or architectural standards as indicated in Section VI.F of
this PD document.”
Justification: This requirement would ensure that there is a variety of
elevations along every street.
14. In an effort to encourage the development of all lot types equally and
discourage the initial development of only smaller lots, the following should
be considered:
•• Type 1&2 lots account for 38.2% of total lot yield; require each annual
delivery to include a minimum percentage (recommend 25%) of Lot Types
1 and 2.
•• Require that a certain percentage (recommend 50%) of total lot yield be
delivered prior to platting of townhome neighborhood
•• Establish phasing plan for collector street construction. Exhibit “B” should
tie collector street construction to lot delivery threshold.
•• Identify street types and locations on concept plan
Justification: The most dense areas, as illustrated on the Concept
Plan, are north of Trophy Club Drive in Neighborhoods 1, 5, 7 and 8.
However, out of the total of 866 lots in these neighborhoods, there
are only 35 Type 1 or Type 2 lots, which constitutes 4.04% of the lots
in this area. A requirement for a minimum percentage of larger lots
to be delivered with each phase and for a certain percent to be
16
constructed prior to construction of the townhome community
would ensure that the Town maintains the current desire for larger
lots.
15. In Lot Type 5, include a provision that states “All townhome structures shall be
designed with the appearance of a single family residential structure.”
(Section IV.E, Page 16)
Justification: The applicant showed slides of their townhome
product that would blend well within a single family detached
community. This regulation assures this type of townhome
development.
16. Revise definition of covered front porch to include a requirement of a
minimum 100 square feet. (Section III, Page 3)
Justification: This requirement ensures that a minimum usable area
is provided for a covered front porch.
17. Change lot counts in neighborhood regulations from being “approximately”
to being “a minimum of” for Lot Types 1 and 2 and “a maximum of” for Lot
Types 3-5. (Section V, Pages 18-20)
Justification: Previous submittals have included the provision for a
minimum number of Lot Types 1 and 2; however, this provision has
been revised to be an approximate number. A minimum number of
Lot Types 1 and 2 would ensure that the total number of these types
of lots could not be less than what is outlined in the Development
Standards while a maximum number of Lot Types 3-5 would ensure
that the total number of these types of lots could not exceed what
is outlined in the Development Standards.
18. Include a note on the Concept Plan that states “This Concept Plan shall not
constitute a detailed Site Plan. Detailed lot layouts and site planning shall be
determined at the time of preliminary platting.”
Justification: Due to the size of this proposed development, a
detailed site plan for the entire site is not feasible; however, the
applicant has provided lot layouts on the Concept Plan. In order to
avoid future issues associated with the lot layout as illustrated, it
should be recognized that the lot layouts illustrated on the Concept
Plan in no way vest the lots as illustrated. All plats shall be in
conformance with the minimum lot regulations outlined in the PD
Development Standards.
17
19. Remove the 2nd and 3rd sentences of the last paragraph on Page 20 which
state “The number of lots for any given lot type in a neighborhood can
increase by a maximum 5% but the number of lots can not exceed 1,610 lots
and the total number of Lot Types 3-5 shall not exceed the totals listed in
Table 5-1 (for each Lot Type individually).” (Section V)
Justification: This statement conflicts with the previous
recommendation to provide minimums and maximums for each lot
type.
20. The following Pedestrian Elements were removed from the Building
Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design section since the April 12th submittal:
• Pedestrian plazas/kiosk areas
• Drinking fountains
• Water features with sitting areas
These features should still be amenities provided as Pedestrian Elements.
(Section V.J.C.2)
Justification: The Development Standards state that the Pedestrian
Elements are encouraged in order to improve the walkability and
access of commercial and retail areas. If the applicant is
attempting to improve this aspect of the commercial and retail
areas, there should be as many amenities provided to encourage
appropriate Pedestrian Site Design.
21. Remove gables as an area excluded from the masonry requirements.
(Sections VI.F.2.a.i and VI.F.2.a.ii, Page 37)
Justification: The gable is considered the area between the
building plate of the wall and the roofline and generally forming a
triangle. While it may not be feasible for some portions of the gable
end to be masonry, the majority of the gable end can easily be
covered by masonry. Additionally, it is not uncommon for single
family residential structures in other metroplex communities to be
100% masonry.
22. Include a provision in Sections VI.F.2.a.i and VI.F.2.a.ii which states that “The
front and street sides of all homes shall be 100% masonry.” (Page 37)
18
Justification: This requirement ensures that the most visible portions
of a residential structure are completely constructed of masonry
materials.
23. Section V.J.3.iv on Page 27 makes reference to the “Tree List above”;
however, no tree list is provided except in Section VI.D.2 on Page 36, after this
reference. Provide a tree list or reference a section with an applicable tree
list.
Justification: Lacking appropriate information.

2. Architectural and Site Design Standards:
These design standards shall apply to all Permitted Uses except Day
Care, Kindergarten, Schools (Private or Public), and Religious
Institutions. These uses shall meet the Town of Trophy Club design
requirements.
a. Building Walls and Roofs
1) An expression line shall delineate divisions between floors
of all buildings, and a cornice shall delineate the tops of
facades that do not utilize a pitched roof.
2) All buildings shall be designed such that no mechanical
equipment (HVAC, etc.) and satellite dishes are visible
from the public right-of-way or open space, whether the
equipment is located on the ground, exterior walls or the
roof. To screen rooftop mechanical equipment, other
appurtenances, and flat or built-up roofs, all structures
having a 6,000 square feet or less footprint shall be
constructed with a pitched roof. Those structures having a
footprint greater than 6,000 square feet shall be
constructed with either a pitched or parapet roof system
enclosed on all sides.
3) Mansard roofs and flat membrane-type roofs that are
visible from ground level are prohibited.
48
4) For retail storefronts, a transom, display window area and
bulkhead at the base shall be utilized.
5) Ground floor retail building plate heights should provide for
at least fourteen feet (14’) in height.
6) Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically.
7) Columns and piers generally shall be spaced no farther
apart than they are tall.
8) Transparency:
i. Each floor of any building façade facing a park,
plaza or street shall contain transparent windows
covering from fifteen percent (15%) to seventy-five
percent (75%) of the façade area.
ii. In order to provide clear views of merchandise and
to provide natural surveillance of exterior street
spaces, the ground-floor along the retail storefront
facade shall have transparent storefront windows
covering no less than fifty percent (50%) of the
façade area.
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
b. Permitted Finishes:
1) At least eighty percent (80%) of the exterior of all new
buildings (excluding doors and windows) shall be finished
in one or more of the following materials:
i. Brick, stone, cast stone, or stucco.
ii. Split face concrete block, poured-in-place concrete,
and tilt-wall concrete. It is the intent that any use of
concrete products shall have an integrated color
and be textured or patterned. Tilt-wall concrete
structures shall include reveals, punch-outs, or
other similar surface characteristics to enhance the
façade on at least twenty percent (20%) of each
façade.
iii. Side facades and rear facades shall be of finished
quality and of the same color and materials that
blend with the front of the building. Rear facades
may be painted tilt-wall or painted block matching
the same color of the rest of the building if the rear
façade faces an alley or is not viewable from a
public street or right-of-way.
49
2) To improve the pedestrian orientation, the ground floor of
commercial/retail buildings shall utilize a combination of
the following, unless otherwise approved by the Town:
i. Corbelling, molding, string coursing, ornamentation,
changes in material and color, or other sculpturing
of the base;
ii. Recessed windows or other techniques to
distinguish the windows in the façade such as
arches, pediments and mullions; and
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
3) The utilization of repetitive storefronts for “architectural”
consistency is discouraged in order to maintain an
interesting street experience; although the utilization of
common architectural elements shall be considered to
facilitate a certain level of functional continuity.
c. Building Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design:
1) Any building (excluding parking garages and other
accessory buildings) viewed from a public right-of-way or
public open space shall either face such right-of-way or
open space, or shall have a façade facing such area in
keeping with the character of the front façade, including
the utilization of similar fenestration and materials.
2) Pedestrian Elements
To improve the walkability and access of commercial and
retail areas, the following are encouraged in the site design
of a project:
i. Patio/café seating areas
ii. Pedestrian plazas/kiosk areas
iii. Drinking fountains
iv. Water features with sitting areas
vii. Bicycle racks
iivi. Continuous walkways linking stores
vii. Shade provided by building orientation, canopies
and/or trees
viii. Decorative Trash receptacles
50
3) Parking Lot and Building Frontage Landscaping and
Design
i. A minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of
landscaping including tree islands for each parking
space shall be provided within the paved
boundaries of the parking lot, with the landscaped
areas protected by raised curbs except where
wheel stops are utilized at the front of parking
spaces along a landscaped median between
parking bays, and pavement no closer than three
feet (3’) from the trunk of trees.
ii. Landscaped islands of a minimum of five feet (5’) in
width and extending the entire length of the parking
stall generally shall be located at the terminus of all
parking rows and shall contain at least one three
inch (3”) caliper tree consistent with the Tree List in
Section VI – Development and Design Standards.
iii. Parking spaces shall be a minimum depth of 18
feet and a minimum width of 9 feet; to encourage
better shade patterns, parking bays shall be
separated by a minimum five foot (5’) wide
landscaped median (See illustration below), with
three inch (3”) caliper shade trees planted every
thirty feet and wheel stops placed so as to allow the
front of vehicles to encroach over the landscaped
median without hitting the trees.
51
iv. Foundation plantings are required for buildings or
groups of buildings greater than 40,000 square feet
and where the front building facade does not abut a
public sidewalk, including a 3.0 inch caliper shade
tree for every 10,000 square feet of gross building
area consistent with the Tree List above. Small
ornamental trees are permitted on a ratio of 4 to 1
instead of 3.0 inch caliper shade trees. This is
intended to enhance the 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 required
herein. Tree grates shall be utilized for trees
planted less than four (4) feet back of curb. Tree
spacing shall not impede sign visibility or
pedestrian safety but shall be placed so as to
provide an effective shade environment in front of
the building.
d. Loading Areas and Trash Receptacles:
1) Loading and service areas shall be located at the side of or
in the rear of buildings. Every effort should be made to
reduce the need for segregated loading and service areas
by ensuring that deliveries are made off-hours. Such uses
as grocery stores, however, may require a loading dock
area. Where tractor/semi-trailer delivery may conflict with
land uses on or adjacent to the site, then the following
standards shall be followed:
i. Loading and service areas shall be located at the
side or rear of buildings.
ii. Off-street loading areas shall be screened from
view of any street public open space or adjacent
property.
iii. Loading areas shall be enclosed on three sides by
a wall or other screening device not less than 10
feet in height.
iv. Loading areas shall not be located closer than 50’
to any residential lot, unless wholly within an
enclosed building.
52
v. Screening materials shall be comprised of a wall
that has a similar finish to the primary structure, or
a combination of trees and shrubs that will result in
solid screening within 2 years.
vi. However, when adjacent to a residentially zoned
district a screening wall with landscaping shall be
used.
2. Trash/Recycling Receptacles:
i. Commercial trash/recycling containers shall be
located on the side or rear of the building and
screened from public view.
ii. Such containers shall be located at least 50’ away
from adjacent residential property lines.
iii. Such containers shall be screened on 4 sides,
using an enclosure that is 7’ tall or of a height that
is a minimum of 1’ above the top of the container,
whichever is taller. Screening shall be comprised of
brick, stone, 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.
iv. 6” concrete filled steel pipes shall be located to
protect the enclosure from truck operations.
v. Such container enclosures shall have steel gates
and tie-backs to secure them in an open position,
and fasteners to keep them closed.
vi. Screening shall be maintained at all times.
e. Signage
1) General: Signs shall be flat against the façade, projecting
from the façade or ground monument mounted. No signs
shall project above the façade unless approved as part of
a site plan as a “landmark sign” such as a theater marquee
or other special sign located in an prominent location and
53
intended to provide a special character to the district and
orientation to visitors.
2) Lighting: Signs shall generally be externally lit. Only
individual letters and symbols may be internally lit. Neon
signs shall be prohibited.
3) Finish Materials: Materials shall complement the
architecture of the building, and may include wood—
painted or natural; metal—copper, brass, galvanized steel;
painted canvas; paint; engraving directly on façade
surface; and brick or stone for monument signs.
4) Wall Signs:
i. One and a half (1.5) square feet of signage is
permitted for each linear foot of the primary facade
of the building, excluding wing walls. (E.g. a 100’
long building façade would allow for 150 square
feet of wall sign area on 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 except if adjacent to a residential lot.
iv. Maximum area of any single sign mounted
perpendicular to a given façade shall not exceed 10
square feet unless it protrudes above the top of the
facade.
v. Protruding or hanging signs shall maintain a
minimum clear height of eight (8) feet above the
sidewalk.
5) Monument Signs:
i. Monument signs up to eight (8) feet in height are
the only permanent freestanding signs allowed.
ii. Maximum area of a monument sign shall be 96
square feet per sign face. Monument signs may
have only two (2) sign faces.
iii. If a Commercial Neighborhood extends over 1000
linear feet, then one monument sign per 500’ of
frontage is permitted. (E.g. a site with 1,000’ or
more of frontage may have two (2) monument
signs, a site with 1,500’ or more may have three (3)
signs, etc.).
54
iv. The structure of monument signs shall be
constructed of materials and colors utilized on the
primary building’s façade.
v. Monument signs must be spaced a minimum of two
hundred fifty feet (250’) apart, unless approved
otherwise at Detailed Site Plan.
6) Parking: Retail and office uses shall meet the Town’s
parking standards at the time of development.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Beth Ann Gregory, Director of Community Development
MEETING DATE: APRIL 26, 2006
SUBJECT: TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
Per the Town’s request, Carter & Burgess, Inc. (C&B) has performed a Traffic Impact
Analysis (TIA) for the proposed development on behalf of D.R. Horton. The purpose of
this report is to ensure that the minimum Level of Service (LOS) of the Town’s existing
roads as well as any proposed roads will be maintained as development occurs.
In November 2005, Innovative Transportation Services, Inc. (ITS) was hired by the
Town to perform a traffic study of the Town’s main roadways and intersections.
This study identified the existing traffic conditions on our roads and
recommended a minimum LOS of “C” be set for the Town’s roadways. It was the
unanimous opinion of our engineers that this was the highest realistic LOS that
could be set and would provide for minimal congestion on the Town’s roads at
build out. On February 20, 2006, the ITS study was presented to the Town
Council for review and subsequently accepted. The criteria in the ITS study is
now the basis for any future developments and supporting traffic studies.
C&B submitted their TIA to the Town and ITS for review and approval. ITS reviewed
the study for compliance with the Town’s minimum standards. Upon review and
comment, C&B revised their TIA and submitted an updated report that was presented
the P&Z on April 6, 2006. Subsequent to that meeting, additional information has been
provided by C&B that focused on the traffic operations along Trophy Lake Drive. ITS
reviewed the additional information to again ensure that C&B was meeting the minimum
standards as set forth by the Town. The additional information and subsequent review
has resulted in the development of additional strategies for possible improvements to
the traffic operations along Trophy Lake Drive, especially at the SH-114 intersections.
This additional information entitled Summary of Roadway Level of Service is included in
this packet.
If the zoning is accepted for the overall development, the developer will submit a final
plat for each phase of development or neighborhood. As part of the submittal, the
developer’s engineer will prepare detailed engineering plans and an updated TIA with
each plat. That TIA will evaluate the existing roadways and intersections and identify
any required improvements necessary to maintain the minimum LOS. For example,
some discussion has been held on what type of improvements would be made to the
Trophy Lake Drive and Trophy Club Drive intersection. Some options mentioned have
66
been a traffic circle or traffic signal. The developer will be required to submit those
proposed improvements to the Town with the supporting documents to justify how they
will best address the traffic. The P&Z and Council will have ample opportunity to review
and comment on each plat and their proposed improvements.
The responsibility for payment of the infrastructure improvements will be outlined in the
developer’s agreement, which must also go before Town Council for approval. The
developer, not the Town, will be responsible for the installation of any additional
infrastructure and improvements to the existing infrastructure that is required for his
development.
A copy of the complete TIA is available online at
http://www.ci.trophyclub.tx.us/downloads/traffic_impact.pdf.

Institutions. These uses shall meet the Town of Trophy Club design
requirements.
a. Building Walls and Roofs
108
1) An expression line shall delineate divisions between floors
of all buildings, and a cornice shall delineate the tops of
facades that do not utilize a pitched roof.
2) All buildings shall be designed such that no mechanical
equipment (HVAC, etc.) and satellite dishes are visible
from the public right-of-way or open space, whether the
equipment is located on the ground, exterior walls or the
roof. To screen rooftop mechanical equipment, other
appurtenances, and flat or built-up roofs, all structures
having a 6,000 square feet or less footprint shall be
constructed with a pitched roof. Those structures having a
footprint greater than 6,000 square feet shall be
constructed with either a pitched or parapet roof system
enclosed on all sides.
3) Mansard roofs and flat membrane-type roofs that are
visible from ground level are prohibited.
4) For retail storefronts, a transom, display window area and
bulkhead at the base shall be utilized.
5) Ground floor retail building plate heights should provide for
at least fourteen feet (14’) in height.
6) Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically.
109
7) Columns and piers generally shall be spaced no farther
apart than they are tall.
8) Transparency:
i. Each floor of any building façade facing a park,
plaza or street shall contain transparent windows
covering from fifteen percent (15%) to seventy-five
percent (75%) of the façade area.
ii. In order to provide clear views of merchandise and
to provide natural surveillance of exterior street
spaces, the ground-floor along the retail storefront
facade shall have transparent storefront windows
covering no less than fifty percent (50%) of the
façade area.
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
b. Permitted Finishes:
1) At least eighty percent (80%) of the exterior of all new
buildings (excluding doors and windows) shall be finished
in one or more of the following materials:
i. Brick, stone, cast stone, or stucco.
ii. Split face concrete block, poured-in-place concrete,
and tilt-wall concrete. It is the intent that any use of
concrete products shall have an integrated color
and be textured or patterned. Tilt-wall concrete
structures shall include reveals, punch-outs, or
other similar surface characteristics to enhance the
façade on at least twenty percent (20%) of each
façade.
iii. Side facades and rear facades shall be of finished
quality and of the same color and materials that
blend with the front of the building. Rear facades
may be painted tilt-wall or painted block matching
the same color of the rest of the building if the rear
façade faces an alley or is not viewable from a
public street or right-of-way.
2) To improve the pedestrian orientation, the ground floor of
commercial/retail buildings shall utilize a combination of
the following, unless otherwise approved by the Town:
i. Corbelling, molding, string coursing, ornamentation,
changes in material and color, or other sculpturing
of the base;
110
ii. Recessed windows or other techniques to
distinguish the windows in the façade such as
arches, pediments and mullions; and
iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’).
3) The utilization of repetitive storefronts for “architectural”
consistency is discouraged in order to maintain an
interesting street experience; although the utilization of
common architectural elements shall be considered to
facilitate a certain level of functional continuity.
c. Building Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design:
1) Any building (excluding parking garages and other
accessory buildings) viewed from a public right-of-way or
public open space shall either face such right-of-way or
open space, or shall have a façade facing such area in
keeping with the character of the front façade, including
the utilization of similar fenestration and materials.
2) Pedestrian Elements
To improve the walkability and access of commercial and
retail areas, the following are encouraged in the site design
of a project:
i. Patio/café seating areas
ii. Bicycle racks
iii. Continuous walkways linking stores
vi. Shade provided by building orientation, canopies
and/or trees
vii. Decorative Trash receptacles
3) Parking Lot and Building Frontage Landscaping and
Design
i. A minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of
landscaping including tree islands for each parking
space shall be provided within the paved
boundaries of the parking lot, with the landscaped
areas protected by raised curbs except where
wheel stops are utilized at the front of parking
spaces along a landscaped median between
parking bays, and pavement no closer than three
feet (3’) from the trunk of trees.
ii. Landscaped islands of a minimum of five feet (5’) in
width and extending the entire length of the parking
stall generally shall be located at the terminus of all
111
parking rows and shall contain at least one three
inch (3”) caliper tree consistent with the Tree List in
Section VI – Development and Design Standards.
iii. Parking spaces shall be a minimum depth of 18
feet and a minimum width of 9 feet; to encourage
better shade patterns, parking bays shall be
separated by a minimum five foot (5’) wide
landscaped median (See illustration below), with
three inch (3”) caliper shade trees planted every
thirty feet and wheel stops placed so as to allow the
front of vehicles to encroach over the landscaped
median without hitting the trees.
iv. Foundation plantings are required for buildings or
groups of buildings greater than 40,000 square feet
and where the front building facade does not abut a
public sidewalk, including a 3.0 inch caliper shade
tree for every 10,000 square feet of gross building
area consistent with the Tree List above. Small
ornamental trees are permitted on a ratio of 4 to 1
instead of 3.0 inch caliper shade trees. This is
intended to enhance the 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 required
herein. Tree grates shall be utilized for trees
planted less than four (4) feet back of curb. Tree
112
spacing shall not impede sign visibility or
pedestrian safety but shall be placed so as to
provide an effective shade environment in front of
the building.
d. Loading Areas and Trash Receptacles:
1) Loading and service areas shall be located at the side of or
in the rear of buildings. Every effort should be made to
reduce the need for segregated loading and service areas
by ensuring that deliveries are made off-hours. Such uses
as grocery stores, however, may require a loading dock
area. Where tractor/semi-trailer delivery may conflict with
land uses on or adjacent to the site, then the following
standards shall be followed:
i. Loading and service areas shall be located at the
side or rear of buildings.
ii. Off-street loading areas shall be screened from
view of any street public open space or adjacent
property.
iii. Loading areas shall be enclosed on three sides by
a wall or other screening device not less than 10
feet in height.
iv. Loading areas shall not be located closer than 50’
to any residential lot, unless wholly within an
enclosed building.
v. Screening materials shall be comprised of a wall
that has a similar finish to the primary structure, or
a combination of trees and shrubs that will result in
solid screening within 2 years.
vi. However, when adjacent to a residentially zoned
district a screening wall with landscaping shall be
used.
2. Trash/Recycling Receptacles:
i. Commercial trash/recycling containers shall be
located on the side or rear of the building and
screened from public view.
113
ii. Such containers shall be located at least 50’ away
from adjacent residential property lines.
iii. Such containers shall be screened on 4 sides,
using an enclosure that is 7’ tall or of a height that
is a minimum of 1’ above the top of the container,
whichever is taller. Screening shall be comprised of
brick, stone, 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.
iv. 6” concrete filled steel pipes shall be located to
protect the enclosure from truck operations.
v. Such container enclosures shall have steel gates
and tie-backs to secure them in an open position,
and fasteners to keep them closed.
vi. Screening shall be maintained at all times.
e. Signage
1) General: Signs shall be flat against the façade, projecting
from the façade or ground monument mounted. No signs
shall project above the façade unless approved as part of
a site plan as a “landmark sign” such as a theater marquee
or other special sign located in an prominent location and
intended to provide a special character to the district and
orientation to visitors.
2) Lighting: Signs shall generally be externally lit. Only
individual letters and symbols may be internally lit. Neon
signs shall be prohibited.
3) Finish Materials: Materials shall complement the
architecture of the building, and may include wood—
painted or natural; metal—copper, brass, galvanized steel;
painted canvas; paint; engraving directly on façade
surface; and brick or stone for monument signs.
4) Wall Signs:
i. One and a half (1.5) square feet of signage is
permitted for each linear foot of the primary facade
114
of the building, excluding wing walls. (E.g. a 100’
long building façade would allow for 150 square
feet of wall sign area on 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 except if adjacent to a residential lot.
iv. Maximum area of any single sign mounted
perpendicular to a given façade shall not exceed 10
square feet unless it protrudes above the top of the
facade.
v. Protruding or hanging signs shall maintain a
minimum clear height of eight (8) feet above the
sidewalk.
5) Monument Signs:
i. Monument signs up to eight (8) feet in height are
the only permanent freestanding signs allowed.
ii. Maximum area of a monument sign shall be 96
square feet per sign face. Monument signs may
have only two (2) sign faces.
iii. If a Commercial Neighborhood extends over 1000
linear feet, then one monument sign per 500’ of
frontage is permitted. (E.g. a site with 1,000’ or
more of frontage may have two (2) monument
signs, a site with 1,500’ or more may have three (3)
signs, etc.).
iv. The structure of monument signs shall be
constructed of materials and colors utilized on the
primary building’s façade.
v. Monument signs must be spaced a minimum of two
hundred fifty feet (250’) apart, unless approved
otherwise at Detailed Site Plan.
6) Parking: Retail and office uses shall meet the
Town’s parking standards at the time of
development.
