City of Pearland’s

Comprehensive Plan Coming Soon

A new City of Pearland Comprehensive Plan is now under development as we seek to identify a shared vision for the city’s future.

■ Draft Strategies – How do we do that? ■ Adoption – Develop those strategies into actionable items.

A Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy statement adopted by City Council that provides guidance

The Community Development Department planning team will spearhead the effort, and has hired Kim- ley-Horn and Associates, Inc. as the consulting plan- ners who will support city staff in the development of the plan. Also contributing will be the Compre- hensive Plan Advisory Committee, made up of a wide range of individuals who live and/or work in Pearland. Anyone who lives, works, or plays in Pearland is also encouraged to engage in the process. There will be many opportunities throughout the pro- cess for the public to submit their thoughts and ideas. Community meetings and events will be held at varying times and places to allowmany chances to attend, and online engagement will be available as well.

for the future growth and development of the city. Building on the work of previously approved city plans, and dubbed Pearland 2040, this plan will include specific goals and recommend strategies to achieve them. Focusing on areas such as Land Use, Infrastructure, Utilities, Safety, and Parks, the plan will help Pearland move forward with a common and connected vision. There are five major steps to the project: ■ Foundations – Who is Pearland now? ■ Community Visioning – Who do we want Pearland to be? ■ Design Solutions – What can we do to achieve the vision?
