Comprehensive Planning
Imagine Austin, the City’s comprehensive plan, guides the City in preparing for and managing expected population and employment growth through land use and public facilities investments.
Area Planning
Area‐specific planning efforts take place for smaller parts of the city. Planning for smaller geographies — like a portion of the city — provides an opportunity to explore issues at a finer scale and with the local community.
Plan Implementation and Neighborhood Plan Amendments
The Long Range Planning team stewards the implementation of adopted plans, including case management of proposed amendments to Future Land Use Maps (FLUMs) found in neighborhood plan.
Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD) Planning
Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Planning provides a comprehensive framework to guide future development around transit. It helps the Austin community ensure that the Project Connect transit system supports residents of all incomes and backgrounds, especially those who have been disproportionately burdened by transportation and land use decisions.
Code Amendments
We also lead land development code amendments and provide tracking and monitoring, interdepartmental coordination, public communication, commission support, legal consultation, and training and close out activities.
