Program Overview
Over the past forty years, Plano has been home to the fastest growing population in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Careful city planning for the future helped to guide this growth and development, resulting in the City we know today. However, the City of Plano is approaching its growth capacity, and the focus of planning efforts must therefore shift from future growth and development to redevelopment and revitalization.
One key element in developing strategies for redevelopment and revitalization is the Neighborhood Planning Program. Established in 1998, the City of Plano Neighborhood Planning program has the following goals:
- Guiding redevelopment and revitalization.
- Providing opportunities to improve the quality of life.
- Protecting neighborhood residences and existing businesses from decline.
- Coordinating services by bringing attention, focus and problem-solving resources to neighborhoods.
To achieve these goals, Neighborhood Planning embraces a strategy of cooperative problem-solving and mutual responsibility. Neighborhood Planning is an opportunity for citizens to shape the type of neighborhood they would like to live in and their overall quality of life. By creating a forum for citizen involvement in addressing the neighborhood’s issues through the Neighborhood Planning Program, we enable creative problem-solving and a spirit of teamwork between the City and the neighborhood.
Residents participating in the Neighborhood Planning Program use a systematic planning process to develop a Neighborhood Action Plan - a multi-year, neighborhood based plan that identifies the visions, goals, objectives and strategies to address neighborhood priorities and guide city service decisions.
