The city approved 4-2 a special permit to begin construction of the theme park which will primarily cater to families with young children.
Universal announced some commitments it made to the Cobb Hill neighborhood which sits directly adjacent to the park. It will foot the bill for a wall surrounding the neighborhood to discourage parking there.The police chief also said approval of the park would make it illegal for registered sex offenders to live nearby. He said he did not expect a significant jump in crime to come with the park."I already know your minds are made up. This is a big dog and pony show," one resident said.
"We're very proud of what we bring before you. We think it is the right fit," said John McReynolds with Universal. "We think it will interact from a transportation, from every aspect it will be something that I think the city of Frisco will be proud of."
