Frisco planning commission approves Trader Joe’s-anchored mixed-use project

Frisco's Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a zoning change for a proposed Trader Joe's-anchored mixed-use development. The project, which also includes senior housing and open space, now heads to the Frisco City Council for final approval.

What they're saying: Travis Thompson, a representative for landowner SNS Frisco West Main Station LLC, said the development is expected to generate "roughly three times less traffic than what could currently be produced."

“We did a very thorough traffic study to determine and look at traffic from the school,” Thompson said. “We’ve incorporated some improvements along Majestic Gardens ... we’re very excited about that, something we can offer the neighbors to help with traffic flow from the school.”

Multiple residents expressed their support for the project, with Frisco Planning and Zoning Secretary Sean Merrell saying “over 95% of [comment cards] are in favor of this, which is huge.”

What’s next: The proposed Trader Joe’s mixed-use development still requires final approval from the Frisco City Council before moving forward.
