The Planning division processes and reviews everything from sign and banner permits, to deck and hot tub additions, to large scale, multi-family and commercial developments. Planners work closely with the Building Division from the beginning of projects to completion to ensure it meets the Town’s zoning and safety requirements. Planners also serve the Planning Commission in an advisory role for projects and various other Planning Division activities.
The Town of Frisco, Colorado Planning division is part of the Community Development department and works closely with the Building Division on all levels of construction, small to large. Projects must go through Planning and Building Division review and approval.
In the summer of 2018, the Town of Frisco launched a comprehensive process with the community to update the Town’s Master Plan, also known as the “Frisco Community Plan.” The Community Plan serves as the overarching policy document for the Town. The plan articulates the shared vision and values of the community and identifies strategic actions necessary for implementation. The plan was last updated in 2011 and is required by the Town Charter to be updated every five years.
