Frisco officials approves 2040 plan to guide future growth
Frisco City Council approved the city’s 2040 comprehensive plan during an April meeting. The details The plan lays out guidelines for future growth in the city, addressing everything from transpor- tation to housing. Officials began soliciting public feedback on the plan back in 2023. The Frisco City Council voted to approve the plan for adoption at its meeting March 4. Members approved an ordinance adopting the plan April 1. The plan is partly based on the city’s population projections that could reach 330,000 at buildout. It will also help guide development of Frisco’s 44,876 acres of undeveloped land. The plan lays out a number of objectives for the city. On land use, city officials hope to serve residents’ needs and ensure a diverse economic base. When it comes to transportation, they hope to focus on the pedestrian experience, improve safety, mobility, reliability and connectivity, and
increase the availability of alternatives to driving. The comprehensive plan encompasses several other plans, including: Frisco’s future land use plan, thoroughfare use plan and open space plan. According to city documents, the 2040 com- prehensive plan is meant to provide long-range guidance related to zoning regulations, land sub- division, thoroughfare construction and growth management. How we got here An advisory committee was organized to help put together the plan, soliciting feedback from the City Council, planning and zoning commission, residents and more for 19 months. Some of the public comments on the plan included concerns about a lack of development in east and west Frisco, according to city docu- ments. Others recommended the city pursue more outdoor music and entertainment venues and less apartments.
Public feedback timeline Several community meetings happened ahead of council approving the plan.
