Despite a unanimous approval from the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission, Frisco City Council voted Dec. 1 to table rezoning a proposed residential development on the Brinkmann Ranch property.

The request sought to rezone 171 acres for a patio home development on the northwest corner of Main Street and Independence Parkway. Several council members raised concerns regarding the smaller lot sizes and the makeup of the streets.

The proposal calls for about 3 1/2 homes per acre. Several council members said the density of the development was not as much of a concern as the smaller lot sizes.

“With the size of the lots—the small size—particularly right there [on Main Street], Main Street just got built six lanes divided,” Council Member Bob Allen said. “[The street] is going to get filled up before it ever gets started.”

Other council members said they did not like the “zipper streets,” which is a street that has cutouts in the road to allow for cars to parallel park in front of houses.

Rather than holding a public hearing or taking the issue back to the commission, city staff agreed to work with the developers to address council’s concerns.
