Frisco regulates sexually oriented businesses with strict zoning, licensing, and distance separations from churches, schools, residential zones, and parks under Chapter 6 of the City Code.
Sexually oriented businesses (SOBs) including adult bookstores, theaters, and cabarets must obtain a city license and locate at least 1,000 feet from churches, schools, public parks, residential districts, and other SOBs. Operators and employees register annually with FPD, pass background checks, and renew permits. Frisco's family-oriented entertainment district (The Star, Toyota Stadium, PGA HQ, Hall of Fame Village) makes enforcement a priority. Hours, signage, and on-premises conduct are restricted. State Local Government Code Chapter 243 provides the enabling authority.
Operating without a license or within prohibited distances exposes operators to misdemeanor citations, daily fines, and potential injunctive closure of the establishment.
