Council will hear an update on the Urban Growth Master Plan

Expansion areas for the Urban Service Boundary.

In Tuesday’s General Government and Planning (GGP) Committee meeting, Sam Castro of TSW Consulting will present an update on the recently adopted Urban Growth Master Plan (UGMP)*, which sets a vision and regulatory policy for how the expansion areas of the Urban Service Boundary (USB) should be developed. The UGMP focuses on building “complete neighborhoods” with a variety of housing types and reserved space for community infrastructure such as libraries, parks, and schools.

The Planning Commission adopted the UGMP in November of 2024. Their adoption was the final step in making the plan official, so this update to Council is for information only. You can view the presentation slides starting on page four of this packet.

You can read our past coverage of the UGMP here.
