Welcome to the Town of Frisco’s Comprehensive Plan web page. This page will serve as the Town’s home base for sharing information, project updates, and upcoming engagement events and opportunities with the community throughout the project.

Project Introduction
Nestled in the heart of Colorado’s mountains, Frisco is a special community with much to offer, from boating on Dillon Reservoir to skiing at the Frisco Nordic Center to a hike in the surrounding public lands.
At the same time, the town faces key challenges, including rising housing prices, year-round automobile traffic from Front Range visitors, and risks related to climate change and natural hazards. This Comprehensive Plan will be a forward-looking document articulating the community’s needs and priorities and an actionable guide in decision-making. Goals, strategies, and actions within the plan will facilitate sustainable growth and development, with particular attention paid to the quality of place, economics, mobility, equity, services, and social networks.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
The State of Colorado requires a comprehensive plan to guide growth and development. The Plan should reflect the community’s vision and goals for the future and address different elements, including land use, transportation, economy, and the natural environment. The Plan can be leveraged as a long-range planning tool to guide town-wide policy decision-making.
This plan seeks to meet all the requirements of the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). Robust engagement will ensure a plan that is supported by the community and can be referenced in the decision-making process.
What is the Comprehensive Plan not?
The Comprehensive Plan does not establish or modify zoning regulations for the Town of Frisco. While it may be used as a framework for future decision-making and may help ensure policies and planning efforts are aligned with community goals, a Comprehensive Plan is not regulatory and does not create or modify laws.
How do we get there?
We will work with the community’s voices, from key stakeholders to local community members, to identify core values and priorities for the future. Understanding the issues will inform goals and actions, including programs, projects, and policies. Engagement opportunities should be open and accessible to all community members, as the future is for everyone. It is critical that engagement is diverse and reaches underrepresented populations.
Want to know more?
We have made significant progress in completing the Comprehensive Plan. Below are links to the existing conditions assessments and a summary of the community engagement achieved through August 2024. These assessments and the community engagement summary will be included in the appendix of the Comprehensive Plan, and the memos will help shape and guide the updated Comprehensive Plan. All the documents are in draft format.
