What we reported Last May, Frisco voters turned down an alcohol referendum that would have allowed liquor stores and bars throughout the city. City and community leaders opposed the proposition that was brought by a political action committee, Frisco Committee for Economic Growth, in 2015. Those opposed said if the measure passed, it would have eroded the city’s ability to regulate establishments that generate more than 50 percent of their revenue from alcohol sales.

The latest Frisco Chamber of Commerce President Tony Felker said some recently announced tenants at The Star in Frisco have expressed concerns about the city’s alcohol regulations. Felker said the chamber and the city are working together to consider creating entertainment districts within certain developments that would allow the alcohol-to-food ratio to be increased. The City Council would have the ability to pass zoning for these districts without calling an election.

What's next Felker said after the May election, voters came forward saying they would like to have liquor stores in Frisco. To be placed on a future ballot, the issue must go through a petition process. Felker said the chamber is working to organize a petition to bring forward a proposition and will try to bring the issue to the November ballot.
