Commission gives 700-unit mixed-use project initial approval

It would all sit on 80 acres of land, which was originally planned for a development called Lesso Mall. This development didn’t come to fruition because the owner of the property sold the land. Lesso Mall was approved for up to 1,200 units on the site. The development will be built in phases, contin- gent on building permits being led for the oce buildings and parking garages planned on the site. The new development will generate half the trac as the development previously planned for the property, according to city sta. What they’re saying Commission Chair Jon Kendall said people may be reluctant to see more apartments coming to Frisco but that the Champions project will take time to build. “I hope people realize you don’t need to be scared when you see a zoning case like this,” Kend- all said. “It’s just planning for the future.”

Frisco ocials recommended approval for a development that could bring more than 700 more units to the city. The Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of plans for a new mixed- use development called Champions at its meeting June 24.
