It is our responsibility to help the City's decision makers define and reach future expectations, while preserving key components of Plano's past. The division is responsible for maintaining and updating the Comprehensive Plan which guides future growth, development, and redevelopment of Plano.
The Long Range Planning Division is the primary staff group for future city planning, neighborhood planning, demographics, and heritage preservation. The Division provides primary staff support to the Plano Transition and Revitalization Commission and the Heritage Commission and also reports to the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission on various matters. The division also includes programs for helping individual neighborhoods learn about the various services offered by the city and establish strategies for their long term enhancing viability.
