City of Austin Comprehensive Plan
The City of Austin is creating a new Comprehensive Plan for Austin which will set forth the city’s policies for growth and development. The existing Comprehensive Plan (the Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan (ATCP)) was developed during the 1970s and adopted in 1979, but even with various amendments and updates, the ATCP remains a product of its time and does not address many contemporary issues facing the City such as sustainability and climate change. The lack of a contemporary, community-based vision for the City’s future has lead to many “ad hoc” policy directives.
An overview of the Comprehensive Plan process for the next two or so years is available, including a recent “Comprehensive Plan Kick-Off” Event.
The City has posted a survey to obtain citizen input on some of the questions from the October 12 Kick-Off Event concerning what makes Austin great and what could be improved. Survey answers will form the foundation of the first Community Forum Series, the week of November 9.
In addition, Comprehensive Plan Citizens Advisory Task Force is being formed. The application form for the Comprehensive Plan Citizens Advisory Task Force is available for download. Interested in serving, or know someone who might be perfect for the task force? Fill it out or pass it on. Instructions for submitting the application are included.

they tune it, the more sense it will make as we proceed…
