Case PD-21-003 (The Trophy Townhomes)
A. Conduct a Public Hearing regarding a request to rezone and establish a Planned Development for

Infrastructure & Development – Foster a
business-friendly environment.
Background and Explanation:
Surrounding Area
PD-14 sits to the north and west of the property
and was developed as the Villas of Trophy Club
between 1997 and 2006. The Hampton Inn and
Suites sits to the south and was developed in
2008. To the east is Trophy Club Town Hall.
Trophy Wood Drive provides the only public
street access to the property.

Request Overview
The proposed PD would authorize the construction of 7 townhomes on a 0.946 acre lot with a density of
approximately 8 dwelling units per acre. The property is currently zoned PD-25, which includes office,
retail, and hotel uses. Tract 6, which includes Lot 3R2, is specifically shown as “Office Uses” on the
approved Concept Plan but all uses included in the approved use list are allowed per the approved PD
ordinance, including office, retail, and hotel.
PD-25 was originally approved in December 2002 and has been subsequently modified as sites within the
PD have developed. In 2008, the original 2.8-acre tract 6 was partially developed with tract 7 as the current
Hampton Inn and Suites. The property was replatted, leaving just under an acre as Lot 3R2.
Per the PD ordinance, the maximum height of a retail or office structure in PD-25 shall not exceed forty
feet (40’) or two (2) stories, but a hotel may be constructed up to sixty-five feet (65’) or four (4) stories.
Retail and restaurant uses are allowed to operate between the hours of 6 am and 2 am. Total height of
light fixtures on the site is not allowed to exceed twenty-five feet (25’). Fencing adjacent to residential
zoning (PD-14) is required to be brick columns with eight-foot (8’) cedar or redwood panels.
The proposed PD would remove Lot 3R2
from PD-25 and replace those PD
regulations with the regulations shown
below on Lot 3R2 only. The remainder of
PD-25 would remain in effect across the
area shown in the map on the previous
page.
Proposed Improvements and Development
Standards
The proposed Preliminary Plat functions as
the Concept Plan for the site and depicts
lots to be developed as townhomes and as
common lots. The lots are accessed by a
31-foot wide private street and utility
easement that also functions as a fire lane.
The other common lot will function as
open space to be maintained by a Property
Owner’s Association. Neither common lot
is proposed for dedication to the Town.
The open space common lot is required to
be planted with one tree per 500 square
feet of area and provide a masonry wall
facing Trophy Wood Drive. Other
perimeter fencing is required to be board
on board cedar with masonry columns that
match the wall along Trophy Park Drive.
Each individual lot must be planted with at
least one tree in the front yard.
Each unit is required to utilize a two-car garage which may face the private street (not Trophy Park Drive)
and must be constructed of at least 90% masonry materials, which are defined as stucco, tile, porcelain,

or artificial stone. Masonry under this definition does not include cementitious fiberboard (Hardiplank) or
EIFS.
Each unit is required to supply at least three (3) architectural enhancements from the list below:
Salt finish on full driveway from garage to property line;
Two carriage/sconce lights on the front of the house;
Garage doors with windows;
Cast stone or other masonry accents on at least 10% of the total exterior façade;
One covered front porch per unit with minimum depth of five feet (5’);
Metal roof accents;
Two types of masonry materials, including stucco, tile/porcelain/artificial stone, and natural
stone;
One recessed entry per unit with a minimum depth of five feet (5’);
Eight foot (8’) or greater height front door.
Analysis:
The current PD-25 zoning has existed since 2002. In that time, the original tract 9 was reduced from 2.8
acres to 0.9 acres. While the lot could still potentially support some commercial uses, the larger scale
retail, office, and hotel uses originally envisioned in the PD have likely been rendered infeasible.
The current proposal, while residential, would eliminate some potential impacts to adjacent residential
properties. Commercial development currently allowed by-right on the site includes restaurant uses that
are allowed to operate until 2 am and hotels that are allowed to operate 24 hours. These uses would
include noise generating functions such as loading and unloading, vehicle traffic, trash dumpster,
overhead lighting, and music. Given the site conditions that currently exist, development of townhomes
would likely maximize the value of the property while minimizing impacts to adjacent neighbors.

Re: Case PP-21-007
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting, November 4, 2021
Agenda Item:
Case PP-21-007 (The Trophy Preliminary Plat)
A.Discussion and recommendation regarding a request for a Preliminary Plat consisting of 7
townhome lots along with one open space lot and one common private street lot on property
described as Lot 3R2, Block A, Trophy Wood Business Center, an addition to the Town of Trophy
Club, located at 401 Trophy Wood Drive in the Town of Trophy Club, Tarrant County, Texas,
currently zoned PD-25, Planned Development.
Strategic Link:
Infrastructure & Development – Foster a business-friendly environment.
Background and Explanation:
Request Overview
The proposed Plat is being considered
concurrently with a PD request to authorize the
construction of 7 townhomes on a 0.946 acre lot
with a density of approximately 8 dwelling units
per acre.
PD-25 was originally created in 2002 with the
subject property shown as tract 6 consisting of
2.8 acres. The property was originally platted as
Lot 3, Trophy Wood Business Center. In 2008,
the original 2.8-acre tract 6 was partially
developed with tract 7 as the current Hampton
Inn and Suites. Tract 6 was replatted as Lot 3R2,
leaving just under an acre of land.
15
Page 2 of 2
Surrounding Area
PD-14 sits to the north and west of the property and was developed as the Villas of Trophy Club between
1997 and 2006. The Hampton Inn and Suites sits to the south and was developed in 2008. To the east is
Trophy Club Town Hall. Trophy Wood Drive provides the only public street access to the property.
Proposed Improvements
The property currently has access to an
improved public street (Trophy Park Drive)
along with public water and sewer (12”
water and 8” SS). The site generally drains
north-to-south towards Trophy Wood
Drive and a 26’ drainage easement at the
property line with the Hampton Inn. Final
engineering plans will be required with a
Final Plat and must be approved by the
Town before construction can begin.
Analysis:
The proposed plan conforms to the
proposed PD zoning. A recommendation
for approval of the plat should be made
contingent upon approval of the PD zoning
change as the plat would not comply with
the existing PD-25 zoning. If the zoning
change is denied, the plat must be denied
as well.
Financial Considerations:
Not applicable.
Legal Review:
This item is being reviewed by the Town Attorney.
Public Comments:
To date, staff has received no public comments regarding this project.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval contingent upon approval of associated PD zoning.
