Commission approves amendment shrinking Phase 1 of Firefly mixed‑use development
Summary
The commission voted 5-0 to amend Plan Development 272 (Firefly), reducing Phase 1 commercial space from 650,000 to 450,000 square feet and reducing Phase 1 residential units from 1,400 to 966; staff recommended the changes and a comprehensive sign package was adopted with the motion.
The Frisco Planning and Zoning Commission approved amendments to Plan Development 272 (the Firefly project), reducing the scope of Phase 1 by cutting commercial space and lowering the initial residential unit count.
A staff presentation described the proposal to reduce Phase 1 commercial square footage from 650,000 to 450,000 square feet and to tie that Phase 1 commercial amount to 966 residential units instead of the previously anticipated 1,400. Staff also said the overall PD maximum would be reduced from 2,200 residential units to 2,100 units and that the applicant sought adoption of a comprehensive sign package reflected in the submitted exhibit.
Commission members opened and closed the public hearing with no public speakers. One commissioner said they were "excited to see" the reduction in multifamily units, reflecting support among the panel for the change in scale. Staff recommended approval with the changes shown in the staff report. The motion to approve carried 5-0.
What happens next: The P&Z recommendation will follow the city's normal path; per commission practice, staff will advise when the item will appear before the city council for final action.
