Comprehensive Planning

This city's comprehensive plan, developed by the Hillsborough County Planning Commission and adopted in 2016, achieved Silver-level recognition in APA's Comprehensive Plan Standards for Sustaining Places Recognition Program Pilot in 2017. This plan update addressed legislative mandates, corrected inconsistencies, prioritized staff resources, updated project status, and encouraged future economic opportunities.  An extensive public outreach campaign took more than one year and gathered feedback from over 6,000 citizens throughout Hillsborough County and its three cities. Elements include future land use, mobility, public school facilities, housing, public facilities, environment, intergovernmental coordination, and capital improvements.
