Pearland 2040 plan moves forward

Date:

By N. Bradford

The “Pearland 2040” comprehensive plan moved one step closer to completion Monday with approval from Planning and Zoning Committee.

The document planning the city’s next 20 or so years now goes to city council for approval in two readings.

The city’s comprehensive plan update began in 2021 when the city contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. Updated every five to 10 years, a comprehensive plan is used by cities to guide future development and set long-range goals. Pearland first adopted one in 1968, and last updated it in 2015.

A draft plan of the Pearland 2040 was presented in August, with city staff emphasizing that the comprehensive plan does not specify zoning.

“It is just making recommendations about how those places should be developed in the future and what types of land use decisions we should make as a city to bring forward that vision,” said Martin Griggs, assistant director of Community Development.
More information on the plan is available at pearland2040.com.
