What is a Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that assists in anticipation of and guiding future development and service needs to promote balanced growth with a superior quality of life. The plan guides public policy in terms of the development of infrastructure, transportation, utilities, housing, land use, economic development, recreation, and other related topics. Managing growth and its inevitable impacts is critical to the long-term sustainability of Pearland. Having a plan provides the City with the opportunity to address issues related to growth and service provision in a proactive, coordinated manner that promotes the health, safety, and general welfare of residents.

Overview

Pearland's first Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1968, and has been updated in 1978, 1988, 1993, 1999 and 2015. In 2004, limited additions were made to the Comprehensive Plan to include topics that had not been addressed before. These topics included housing, community character, mixed uses, and others. In 2010, only the Future Land Use Map was reviewed in-house with respect to vacant land and some changes were made.

In 2021, the City began working on drafting a new comprehensive plan that reinforced the community's current strengths and opportunities for the future. Pearland2040 was adopted by City Council on September 9, 2024.
