JUST IN: Frisco City Council Approves Universal Studios Theme Park
The theme park would have to comply with city noise and lighting ordinances, according to Hubbard. Operating hours vary but the attraction could open as early as 8 a.m. and close as late as 10 p.m.
The city presented a traffic comparison for what the plot of land is already zoned for as mixed-used commercial residential versus the outdoor amusement theme park. According to the city, the theme park is expected to welcome 7,000 visitors on weekdays vs. 28,000 weekday visitors at high-rise buildings, restaurants and retail space. Weekend theme park visitors would double in number.
