WORK SESSION ITEM
Town Council/EDC Joint Work Session Meeting Minutes — September 22, 2025 Page 2
1. Presentation and discussion on the small area plan for The Grove at TC. (Tamara
Smith, Assistant to the Town Manager).
Town Manager Brandon Wright presented background on the Small Area Plan for
The Grove at Trophy Club, including its guiding principles—comm unity space,
connectivity, thriving businesses, and flexibility for future development. The discussion
emphasized creating a vibrant mixed -use hub while maintaining adaptability for
developers.
Council and EDC members generally agreed the plan should remain broad enough
to guide development without restricting private sector proposals. Feedback emphasized:
• Avoiding multifamily rental housing, with any residential component limited
to owner -occupied units.
• Ensuring that green space is thoughtfully integrated into commercial
development rather than designated as large stand-alone amenities.
• Maintaining flexibility so the plan serves as a vision and marketing tool to
attract developers, rather than a prescriptive site layout.
• Addressing long-term challenges such as parking and connectivity.
Mayor Tiffany invited public comment. The following residents spoke on potential
impacts to adjacent neighborhoods, including building height, buffering, and traffic:
Richard Beaty, 18 Hillcrest Court
Jan Beaty, 18 Hillcrest Court
Mike Evans, 20 Hillcrest Court
Based on the discussion, staff will revise the draft Small Area Plan to clarify that
any residential within mixed -use development must be owner -occupied, ensure
references to green space reflect thoughtful integration into commercial opportunities,
and maintain the plan as a flexible vision and marketing tool to guide future development.
