Plans for a new Rivian service and sales center in Frisco are under review.

Some context: The electric vehicle manufacturer is proposing to lease about 55,230 square feet within a bigger building near the intersection of FM 423 and Rockhill Parkway. 

What happened: At their April 14 meeting, Frisco Planning and Zoning commissioners approved a request to table considering the facility’s preliminary site plan until May. The project has faced delays since October, when city officials denied a previous site plan. City officials denied the plan primarily due to a city ordinance requiring automotive-related uses to be at least 250 feet away from residential zoning districts, city documents state.

What they're saying: Lindsey Walker, representative for applicant Rivian Automotive, wrote in a letter to the city that they were appealing the denial. Walker said the city’s ordinance should not apply in the same way because Rivian would lease only part of the building, with its operations located more than 300 feet away from nearby homes.
