Movie time at Frisco Square? (PHOTOS)
Jan Bellamy/jbellamy@acnpapers.com
Grab the popcorn, it looks like Frisco’s getting a movie theatre west of City Hall.
Owner and developer Frisco Square Development is mum, sensitive to tenant timing of the full announcement. But Cinemark’s name is on the permit to clear land, which began Tuesday. Well, technically, the name on some of the paperwork is “CNEW;” however, Cinemark also appears on city records for permits.
Building plans are under review, according to public records at the city’s development services department.
“Their building plans are not yet approved,” said department head John Lettelier. “But engineering has approved them for flatwork (site preparation), which started Tuesday.”
The detailed master plan hanging on the wall at Frisco Square Development’s office shows a movie theatre envisioned on Frisco Square Boulevard at the south end of World Cup Way. The location is marked with a bright red star in a photo taken some months ago during an interview on another topic.
Lettelier said no public meetings or commission reviews of plans are necessary because Frisco Square is zoned as a planned development. City staff can approve plans.
Opening date a bit sketchy, but it could be the summer Movies in the Square just moved a block west.
As for continuing speculation on another movie theatre on the west side of the Dallas North Toll at Main Event, Lettelier said, “There have been no submittals to the city.”
