Frisco does not run a state-style affordable housing density bonus program; additional density is negotiated parcel by parcel through planned development zoning and city-council-approved development agreements.
Texas does not impose a California-style mandatory density bonus statute. In Frisco, increased density above base zoning is achieved through PD rezoning, where developers negotiate height, FAR, and unit count in exchange for amenities, infrastructure, or design commitments. Affordability is generally market-driven; the City does not require below-market units in exchange for density. Mixed-use centers like Frisco Square and the Fields district near PGA HQ secured higher density through the planned development process and council approval rather than a formula-based bonus.
Building above the approved density or unit count in any PD violates the ordinance and exposes the developer to permit revocation and code enforcement.
