Future Land Use Plan 15
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 16
Future Land Use Plan • But, if and when a current landowner, heirs, or a new owner 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 owners for their own decision making 17
Land Use 2018 and 2008 Plan Comparison 18
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 19
Master Thoroughfare Plan 20
Master Thoroughfare Plan • 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
Mobility / Transportation Thoroughfare Plan • Reviewed thoroughfare connectivity issues and opportunities • Topography • Floodplain • Private / Gated streets • Alignments and connections compatible with future development 22
Thoroughfare Plan Context-Sensitive Street Design • Reviewed alternative Existing Typical Cross Section street types and cross sections • Designed applications for new and established Alternative Cross Section Considerations “One Size Does Not Fit All” thoroughfares Adjacent Land Use and Activity • • Modal Priorities (Bicycle, Pedestrian) • Aligned with the goals for multimodal trip options and healthy lifestyles 23
