Community Development Critical Business Outcome 01 – Implement the comprehensive plan

Since Colleyville incorporated, the City has completed ve comprehensive Master Plans. In 2012, the City Council approved funding
to update the 2004 Master Plan through the creation of a new comprehensive plan that, as its name implies, provides a holistic
focus on future development and the related infrastructure requirements that it requires. The comprehensive plan provides a
roadmap that effectively guides the City’s growth and redevelopment with the ultimate goal of promoting the long-term
sustainability of the community. The comprehensive plan update began in February 2014 and concluded in December 2015. The
City Council then revisited the newly adopted plan at the end of 2016, and approved a comprehensive amendment in February
2017. Implementation of the plan includes Land Development Code calibration, linkage to the City’s strategic plan, and strategies
to foster additional redevelopment and sustainable land use along the City’s commercial corridors. A signi cant portion of the
Land Development Code, to include chapters 1 through 9, was amended throughout the years of 2018 and 2019. Additional
chapters will be amended in the near future. Plan implementation is tracked through the City strategic plan and through an
independent implementation plan linked directly to the comprehensive plan.
