<br />to-year Update <br /> <br />It is now time to perform another 5-year update of the Comprehensive Plan. The first 5-year <br />update was performed in house and now we are 10 years into the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. <br />During this 10 years period, there have been significant changes and other major activities <br />occurred. This halfway journey of Comprehensive Plan is vital aspect of the community's vision <br />to respond to new ideas and directions as the City progresses, changes, and grow. <br /> <br />As communities face growth-related challenges, a need for professional planning services arises. <br />The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) has introduced PlanSource, a program designed <br />to assist local governments in reducing costs and streamlining the procurement process. <br />PlanSource is a cooperative purchasing program for planning services, i.e. comprehensive plan, <br />land use, transportation, parks and recreations, economic development, feasibility studies and <br />VISIOnIng. <br /> <br />Earlier this year, a representative from H-GAC met with staff to expedite the PlanSource <br />functions and its credibility. The City can utilize the H-GAC resources to find a consultant or the <br />firm to accomplish this important Comprehensive Plan update. In addition, the Northside <br />Neighborhood Plan, adopted in 2000, is a separate document that could undergo a review <br />alongside the Comprehensive Plan. The Northside Neighborhood Plan could be incorporated as a <br />component of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />
