Keep Pearland Beautiful Lions Club of Pearland
Letter from the Mayor
Pearland invests in great planning to gain great results. Those investments in time and money for planning make Pearland a great place to live, work, and play. Our city-wide planning processes range from the City Council’s Strategic Planning Retreat to our Economic Development Corporation’s Pearland Prosperity initiative, and from this Comprehensive Plan to dozens of other planning studies engaging citizens and staff. Each plan builds from our six strategic priorities and allows us to live up to our new tagline “Pearland: The Community of Choice.” The overall Comprehensive Plan presents thoughts on one of our limited resources: land. You will see in Chapter 2 that, as of 2022, 77% of the land within the city limits is developed. At our current rate of development, the chapter explains how the remaining 23% will likely be fully built out by 2040. Land use choices matter—we didn’t make these choices in a vacuum. The public engagement process engaged landowners and business owners over six months of deep conversation. Î Based on stakeholder input, the future land use plan in Chapter 4 protects allowed uses for the remaining undeveloped parcels based on market demands to achieve resilient finances by protecting our tax base. Î Based on this land use plan, the city can maintain our safe community with sustainable infrastructure for our current residents and businesses. Î It is important that, as a whole community, we are ready to receive future residents and businesses so they can grow, flourish, and hire our citizens, thus building a stronger economy. The implementation chapter concludes with key performance indicators as metrics to allow citizens to know our progress against the plan goals. These transparent metrics will contribute to trusted government. We are going to make big things happen in our city. Let’s continue to work together to make Pearland "The Community of Choice.” ___ Kevin Cole MAYOR, CITY OF PEARLAND
