39 08-04-15 Land Use Principles PRINCIPLE 1: Encourage the most desirable, efficient use of land while maintaining and enhancing local aesthecs. PRINCIPLE 2: Encourage a balance of land uses to serve the needs of cizens and to ensure a diverse economic base. PRINCIPLE 3: Ensure that land use recommendaons for development and redevelopment respect environmental factors and support innovave design. PRINCIPLE 4: Create dedicated land use and infrastructure policies that focus on Center City. Introduction This Chapter summarizes a formal Land Use Strategy for the City of Frisco, considering and building upon the Land Use Strategy in the City’s 2006 Comprehensive Plan. This Land Use Strategy is one of many important tools for idenfying a prosperous path forward for the City. This direcon is established through a series of implementaon strategies that will help City leaders make important decisions regarding the land use paern of the community. These decisions will impact the City’s infrastructure, municipal services and economic resiliency. The Strategy establishes an overall framework for the preferred paern of development within Frisco by designang various geographical areas within the City for parcular land uses based principally on the specific policies outlined in this chapter. The Land Use Strategy is depicted in graphic form as the Future Land Use Plan (Figure 4-2). This Future Land Use Plan will be an important guiding document in the review of zoning and development plan applicaons. It is important to remember that, as Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code states, “A Comprehensive Plan shall not constute zoning regulaons or establish zoning boundaries.” The Future Land Use Plan is not a zoning map, which deals with specific development requirements on individual parcels. Rather, it is a high-level policy document designed to help guide decision-making related to rezoning proposals and for assessing the appropriateness of a parcular land use at a specific locaon within the community. A property owner may choose to develop under the exisng zoning regulaons regardless of the Future Land Use Plan; however, if a property owner makes an applicaon for rezoning, the 2015 Comprehensive Plan should be an important consideraon in the City’s approval or disapproval of the proposal. This chapter generally addresses only the Land Use Principles, Land Use Policies and Future Land Use Plan. The following elements are fully addressed in the appendices of this 2015 Comprehensive Plan: 4 | LAND USE • Populaon and Demographics • Exisng Land Use • Guiding Principles • Land Use Policies • Future Land Use Plan

1. Encourage sustainable, unique and accessible retail development

4. Encourage mixed-use developments in selected areas.
5. Provide for a variety of residential development.

Establish specific policies for residential development.Newpoliciesshouldbedevelopedtoencourageorrequireotherdesiredelementsofdevelopment.Thisincludes,butisnotlimitedto,addressingestate/executivesubdivisions,front-andrear-entrystandards,curvilinearstreets,cul-de-sacstandards,andopenspace,(see also Chapter 3, Place Making & Resiliency)and Implementation Strategy G08).
7. Encourage development in infill areas and adjacent to existing developed areas.
Theterm“urbansprawl”canbedefinedandassessedasfollows:“Landdevelopmentpredominantlyontheurbanorsuburbanfringethatischaracterizedbylow-density,separatedanddispersedusesdependentonautomobilesandeconomicallysegregatedresidentialareas.This(typeofdevelopment)hascontributedtoenvironmentaldegradation,increasedtrafficcongestion,lessenedcommunityvaluesandreducedqualityoflife.”1Oneofthegoalsofthisplanistoavoidcreatingenvironmentswiththecharacteristicsofurbansprawl,(see also Chapter 3, Place Making & Resiliency).
8. Establish specific policies for major transportation corridors.
