Frisco, TX zoning districts
70 districts, 70 with a written citation. Each row says what the district permits by primary use.
Zoning in Frisco, Texas (Collin & Denton Counties) is governed by the City of Frisco Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 11-04-09 (adopted 04/05/2011), as amended, codified as Chapter 63 of the Frisco Code of Ordinances. Section 2 (Zoning Districts) establishes and describes each district: Subsection 2.03 Residential Zoning Districts, Subsection 2.04 Nonresidential Zoning Districts, Subsection 2.05 Special Zoning Districts (including PD - Planned Development, SUP/S - Specific Use Permits, HL - Historic Landmark, PRO - Preston Road Overlay, TO - Tollway Overlay), and Subsection 2.02 Equivalency Table (mapping prior-ordinance codes to current districts). The binding tri-state permission source is Subsection 3.01 Use of Land and Buildings / Subsection 3.02 Use Chart (Section 3, Land Uses): 'P' = permitted by-right, blank = prohibited, 'S' = permitted upon approval of a Specific Use Permit (conditional), '#' = permitted subject to numbered Conditional Development Standards in 3.02.01. The ordinance lives on the city's codification portal at ecode360.com (Chapter 63) and the full 2011 base ordinance is available as a PDF; individual amendments are published as ecode360 law PDFs. Note: 34 of the 70 live GIS codes are slash-composite Planned-Development labels (e.g., 'SF-8.5/SF-7/PH', 'O-2/R/I/RES') whose entitlements are fixed by each site's adopted PD ordinance under Sec. 2.05.01, not by the general district use chart. The Subsection 2.05 special-districts enumeration also includes the US 380 Overlay Design District (Ord. No. 2022-01-01).
How to read the permissions
By right — allowed without discretionary approval. Conditional use — allowed only with a specific approval. Not permitted — not allowed as a primary use. Not resolved — the ordinance does not settle it in a way we would state as fact.
These describe the district. A specific parcel can also be affected by overlays, corridors, flood zones and site conditions.
