Council denies rezoning for townhomes FRISCO After tabling a decision to rezone property for development of 61 townhomes surrounded by already established single-fam- ily housing, Frisco City Council rejected the change in zoning to allow the project. While the townhome project received support from some Frisco residents encouraging the city to diversify housing options, the council members who voted against rezoning felt the proposal is the right project for the city but in the wrong location.

At its May 17 meeting, council voted 5-1 not to repeal and change zoning on 400.3 acres on the northwest and southwest corners of Legacy Drive and Stonebrook Parkway. Council Member Bill Woodard voted in favor of changing the rezoning. If approved, the rezoning request would have allowed the townhomes to be built on a triangular tract of land in the devel- opment named Heartwood at Edgestone at the northeast corner of Stonebrook Parkway and 4th Army Drive. Dozens of nearby residents spoke against the project at the council’s April 19 meeting. The decision was tabled to allow more discussion between the developer and residents near the proposed project. More than 20 residents addressed the council again at the May 17 meeting. Con- cerns included traffic, impact to schools and higher-density housing.
Council Member Laura Rummel urged the applicant to develop property else- where in the city, saying it is a good project on the wrong property. “The townhomes are beautiful,” Rummel said. “I hope you build them in our city.”
