Parking in Frisco, TX

What the Frisco zoning ordinance says about parking, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

OTC — Original Town Commercial

Required off-street parking in the OTC district is reduced by 50 percent from the citywide schedule for uses operating in OTC before the applicable ordinance's effective date. This reduction does not apply to residential development within OTC, which must instead meet the standard citywide residential parking requirements in Subsection 4.04.08. Confirm the current Sec. 4.04.08 schedule and whether a specific use in OTC pre-dates the reduction's effective ordinance before acting.

All districts

Off-street parking and loading is required citywide under Subsection 4.04. Parking must generally be paved concrete, though pervious concrete or other materials can be approved by the Director of Engineering Services. Required parking must generally be provided on the same lot as the use it serves (Sec. 4.04.09). Nonresidential uses of 50,000 square feet or more of gross floor area must provide off-street loading and unloading area. In the OTC district specifically, required parking is reduced by 50 percent from the standard citywide schedule for uses operating in OTC before the applicable ordinance's effective date, but this reduction does not apply to residential development in OTC, which instead follows Subsection 4.04.08. The specific space-count ratios by use type are in the Sec. 4.04.08 schedule, which this session could not fetch in full; exact ratios by use are review-gated. Confirm the current Sec. 4.04.08 schedule before acting.
