Special land uses in Frisco, TX

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

SUP — Specific Use Permit

Sec. 2.05.02 (SUP or "S" - Specific Use Permits), confirmed live on eCode360 this session as its own numbered district-level section (distinct from the general Subsection 6.15 SUP application procedure already covered in this pack), establishes the Specific Use Permit as a district-level tool layered on top of a base zoning district rather than a freestanding district. The Use Chart marks a use requiring an SUP with "S"; approval requires the Subsection 6.15 process (City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission finding that the use will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or the city as a whole). The city's zoning GIS layer carries a live SUP field per parcel; a non-null value (something other than SUP000) means an SUP has already been granted there. This session did not fetch the full text of Sec. 2.05.02 itself (only its title and existence were confirmed via the Chapter 63 TOC); treat any detail beyond this summary as review-gated. Confirm the current Sec. 2.05.02 text and any recorded SUP for the parcel before acting.

All districts

A Specific Use Permit (SUP), sometimes shown as "S" on the use chart, allows a use that is not permitted by right in a district if City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission determine, after the Subsection 6.15 application and review process, that the use will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or the city as a whole. The GIS zoning layer carries a live SUP field on every parcel (tested example: SUP000 at two sampled points, meaning no active SUP was found there); a non-null SUP value signals a specific use permit condition layered on top of the base district that must be read separately. This session fetched the full Subsection 3.02 Use Chart directly (40 columns spanning residential, nonresidential, and special/overlay districts, marked P for permitted, S for SUP-only, or blank for not permitted), confirming the P/S/blank mechanism and the specific Garage Apartment/Guest House and Home Occupation rows described elsewhere in this pack; the complete use-by-use grid for every one of dozens of listed use types was not individually catalogued row by row in this pack, so confirm the current Use Chart directly for any use not already covered here.
