Draft Preferred Scenario

• The Draft Preferred Scenario was developed based upon

community feedback at the open houses and through additional online input

• The Draft Preferred Scenario combines key aspects of the

Strategic Catalyst Areas and Compact Growth scenarios, which generally had the most positive community response

• While the strategic areas identified in the Preferred Scenario

are intended to establish priorities for future public and private investments, the Scenario is in no way intended to suggest that market driven development will not still occur in

• ther areas of Kerrville and the surrounding ETJ

Scenario Implications

the city (Sports Complex, Expanded Downtown Area, Hospital, Schreiner University, Airport, Riverfront, IH 10 / SH 16 Gateway), and along major corridors

pedestrians, strategic route circulator), traffic

• perations improvements; targeted network

expansions; fill in sidewalk gaps; expand/extend trails

• Higher level of reinvestment in existing

neighborhoods

• Strategic infill with limited additional expansion to

better incorporate existing assets; diverse product mix including housing (Central Business District a primary focus area)

Guiding Principles Overview

• While the Comprehensive Plan Vision Statement,

Place Types, and supporting maps play a key role in portraying the future vision of the community, the Guiding Principles help clarify the intended policy direction related to each plan component

• For the Kerrville 2050 Comprehensive Plan, each

Subcommittee was tasked with identifying preliminary Guiding Principles to support further development of their specific topic by the consultant team

• Keep existing neighborhoods vital by retaining their residential character
• Include non-residential uses that support neighborhoods - like local

shopping - next to residential uses

• Invest first in infrastructure that supports the preferred scenario
• Consider long-term operational costs when setting priorities among new

capital projects

• Seek funding from other entities whenever possible
• Emphasize new business attraction that has high employment and tax value

per acre

• Attract companies that provide ‘value added’ to the companies and

industries that are already here

• Build a strong, diverse economic base
