Future Land Use Plan • A Comprehensive Plan is not a Zoning Ordinance, a Future Land Use Plan is not a Zoning Map • It addresses the appropriate use of public and private land in the future • 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 1 6
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 about what the community has decided would be appropriate • The Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Plan provide valuable information to both existing and future owners so no one has to guess 1 7

Land Use Previous Plan Direction • The 2008 Plan: • Established commercial development along major corridors • Had a strong focus on the CBD • Generally called for low density residential in ETJ areas • Focused on greenfield development rather than reinvestment in older areas of the community 19
Land Use Previous Plan Actions • Since the adoption of the 2008 plan, several projects have been implemented to support the future development areas envisioned in that plan, including: • Development of Holdsworth Drive (started in 2005), which included the extension of utilities to the Harper interchange. • Extend water and wastewater utilities along the Harper corridor • Numerous wastewater lift station expansions • Benefited the core of the city • Enable additional growth south of the river • New wastewater collection main • Benefited Jefferson lift station area and the south side of the river 20
Land Use Previous Plan Actions • Implemented projects continued: • New water distribution main • Benefited water operations everywhere • Enable additional growth on the south side of the river • New groundwater well • Citywide benefit • Water treatment plant expansion • Citywide benefit • Significant expansion to the reuse water system • Citywide benefit by removing high demand water user off the potable water supply • Purchase of small surface water • Citywide benefit • Major development areas envisioned in the 21 2008 plan have been readied for private sector investment
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 22
Land Use Downtown Place Type Example Character & Intent Downtown is the heart of Kerrville, a historic area of economic, entertainment, and community activity for the city and surrounding area, a center for employment and shopping. Buildings are typically two or more stories in height with condominiums, apartments, or offices over storefronts. The design and scale of the development encourage active living within a network of walkable streets and historic structures. Land Use Considerations Primary Land Use Retail, commercial, condominiums, apartments, offices, hotels, entertainment centers, service and office uses. Secondary Land Use Civic and institutional uses, parks and open space Indicators & Assumptions Lot sizes vary, but parcels are often small when compared to other commercial and residential areas. Mixed-use structures are common. Pedestrian activity is high.
