Frisco Seeking Planning Commissioner Applicants

The Town of Frisco is seeking Town of Frisco residents who are interested in serving the community as a Planning Commissioner. The Frisco Planning Commission is a seven-member board appointed by the Frisco Town Council. Due to the recent departure of Planning Commissioner Patrick Gleason who is moving away from Summit County, there is one vacancy on the Frisco Planning Commission. This Planning Commissioner term will be through April 2026, as this is the end of Gleason’s term.

Planning Commissioners review development applications, are involved in long-range planning, and make land use recommendations to the Frisco Town Council. The Planning Commission also has broad approval authority on commercial and multi-family development projects within Frisco.

Perks

While Planning Commission positions are volunteer and currently unpaid, commissioners do have access to free tubing passes, a Nordic Center season pass, Frisco Bay Marina perks, early bird access to youth program/camp reservations, and wash bay use.
