Hotel zoning request moves forward Frisco’s Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a request to rezone about 4 acres of land to allow for the building of a hotel at a meeting Oct. 14. The details Frisco Center Properties Inc. requested that the land be rezoned so a hotel could be built. Council will consider the rezoning request and a development agreement for the site at a future meeting.
Frisco moves to create a more walkable area Frisco City Council unanimously approved new rules regarding how land can be used downtown with the goal of making the area more walkable at a meeting Oct. 21. The change comes as city officials work to rede- velop downtown with several projects, including a pedestrian plaza. What you need to know The rules prohibit new businesses such as con- venience stores with gas pumps and laundromats from opening in downtown. The new rules also prohibit drive-thrus, big- box retailers, bus terminals and full-service car washes. The change is meant to align downtown with Frisco’s 2040 comprehensive plan and make the area more friendly to pedestrians.

The context City officials were required to notify businesses that utilize these types of land uses before the pro- posed changes could be taken up by the planning and zoning commission or council. Some businesses worried they would not be able to continue operating under the new rules. However, Planning Manager Chris Leonard said at an Oct. 21 meeting that these establishments would be allowed to continue operating as long as they didn’t cease operations for more than six months, per state law.
