A crowd of Frisco residents voiced opposition Tuesday to a mixed-use development zoning request as the Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission and Frisco City Council approved the request. Both the commission and the City Council voted 5-1 to approve the request, with Commissioner Ed Kelly and Council Member Brian Livingston voting against the zoning request. The development, located at the northeast corner of SH 121 and Spring Creek Parkway, is planned to have 1,157 urban living and townhome units as well as office, hotel, restaurant and retail space. Many residents expressed concern about the residential density and traffic this development could bring. The Stonebriar Legacy Association of Neighborhoods—or SLAN—is a group of residents surrounding the future development that largely represented the opposition. “Frisco citizens have been clear—we don’t want giant, massive, overpopulated multifamily,” SLAN board member James Works said during the meeting. Works argued the development is proposed to have more density than other nearby developments. Part of the reason for the residential density within this development is the land is slated for a Transit Oriented Development in the city’s comprehensive plan. A Transit Oriented Development has a high mix of residential and commercial development—50 percent residential and 50 percent commercial—within walking distance of mass transit. Although a commuter rail stop is outlined in the comprehensive plan near this development, several council members and residents noted that a rail station does not currently exist in Frisco. Council Member Will Sowell said the development should not have been planned using the Transit Oriented Development standards, but he said there is a lack of office development along Frisco's side of SH 121. This project was first brought before the planning and zoning commission on May 8. At that time, the commission denied the zoning request. After making adjustments to the plan—including reducing the number of residential units, increasing open space and recruiting a developer—the applicant submitted a new request to the city, which was brought to the commission and the council the same night.
