Future Land Use Plan

15

16

Future Land Use Plan

• A Comprehensive Plan is not a Zoning Ordinance, a Future

Land Use Plan is not a Zoning Map

• It does not change the zoning or require any owner to do

anything specific with his/her property

• If the activities that are occurring there are conforming or

legally nonconforming (“grandfathered in”) when the plan is adopted, they can continue just as they were before the plan

• But, if and when a current landowner, heirs, or a new
• wner decides to do something different with a piece of

property, the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Plan give important direction

• The Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Plan

provide valuable information to both existing and future

• wners for their own decision making

Land Use


2018 and 2008 Plan Comparison

19

Land Use


Future Land Use Plan

• Relationship to previous plan:
• Translates previous plan “uses” to

the new “place types”

• Place types are aligned with what

exists on the ground

• Extends previous plan land use

trends in ETJ to new, adjacent ETJ areas

• Identifies locations of strategic

catalyst areas – a key focus of the new plan

Master Thoroughfare Plan

20

• Does not specify a time frame for when transportation

improvements will be made (depends on other factors)

• How do the roads get built when the time is right?
• Capital Improvements Program (City-, County-, TXDOT-

initiated construction projects; plan helps anticipate funding needs)

• Developer (potentially 100% developer cost/responsibility)
• Partnership/Sharing of costs between the developer (needs

adequate street capacity to serve development) and the City (who doesn’t want to overburden the local roadway system)

21

Master Thoroughfare Plan

• Reviewed thoroughfare

connectivity issues and

• pportunities
• Topography
• Floodplain
• Private / Gated streets
• Alignments and connections

compatible with future development

Mobility / Transportation


Thoroughfare Plan

22

• Reviewed alternative

street types and cross sections

• Designed applications for

new and established thoroughfares

• Aligned with the goals for

multimodal trip options and healthy lifestyles
