PLANNING IT OUT

Looking ahead Developing Brinkmann Ranch also gives the city the opportunity to con- tinue working toward its hike and bike trail master plan. “It will connect going further to the northwest where you eventually could ride up to the [Professional Golfers’ Association Frisco campus],” Lettelleir said. Reaching build-out is still years away, Pierson said. “It really depends on the economic environment and the continued growth,” he said. “It could be any- where from seven years to 20 years.” After Frisco hits 100% buildout, the city will move into “maintenance mode” as its attention turns away from new developments and toward helping existing developments last, Pierson said. “Right now a lot of the revenue that comes into the city is a result of brand-new property being built,” Pierson said. “Once you hit build-out, then instead of getting new properties added to the tax rolls, it’s all mainly existing properties or maybe some redeveloped type of properties.” More conversations surrounding city build-out are expected in the coming months, Lettelleir said. City ocials began updating the compre- hensive plan, a process that takes 18 months to complete, in May. One project that could help Frisco reach full build-out is on the north side of the city. “The Fields is another major land area that has the capacity to be able to add more commercial or housing stock to our community,” Pierson said.

Once fully built, the Lexington Village retail area will serve as just one corner of a larger master plan with apartments, single-family homes and possible Frisco ISD schools.

area, including the apartments, green space retailers … we’re factoring that into our store build as well.” The grocery store will prioritize the people living nearby who will be able to walk up to buy groceries by allocat- ing some of the parking lot to a com- munity space, Lara said. “It will be a place where people could sit, enjoy a meal, gather together—a safe spot in the parking lot,” Lara said. Saving a space Development plans for the land go beyond retail and residential. Frisco ISD owns 113 acres of land that could be split between a future high school, middle school and

elementary school, but plans are ten- tative depending on growth, said Matt Wixon, athletics facilitator for the FISD communication department, in an email. “Frisco ISD does not currently have a timeline for construction of schools in the area,” FISD Chief Oper- ations Ocer Scott Warstler said in a statement. FISD has existing expansion plans in other places across the district to meet city growth with Wilkin- son Middle School and Wortham Intermediate School scheduled to open in August. Those campuses will be located on nearly opposite ends of the district’s boundaries

with Wilkinson Middle in west Frisco and Wortham Intermediate in west McKinney. “Each fall, the district evaluates our current enrollment, and works with our external demographer to update future student projections and ana- lyze the need for additional schools,” Warstler said. If the district does decide to go through with the new schools, it has enough funding for a potential ele- mentary school from its most recent bond, Wixon said. “Those [other two] potential proj- ects would need to be funded through an additional bond,” Wixon said.
