Frisco Comprehensive Plan and Frisco 2040 framework encourage shade-tree canopy, light-colored paving, and parking-lot landscape islands to reduce urban heat-island effects but do not mandate cool-pavement materials.
Rather than prescribing a cool-roof or cool-pavement standard, Frisco relies on its Comprehensive Plan and zoning landscape ordinance to require shaded parking, canopy trees, and reflective design where feasible. New commercial development must provide interior parking-lot landscape islands and perimeter buffers that reduce paved-surface heat. The Frisco 2040 long-range vision discusses sustainable design for major districts including the PGA HQ campus, The Star, Toyota Stadium expansions, and the Universal Studios Frisco site. Building reflectivity, however, is governed primarily by adopted IECC energy code, not a separate cool-roof ordinance.
Failure to install or maintain required landscape islands and shade trees during commercial site plan review can trigger denied certificates of occupancy or replanting orders.
