COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STRIKE FORCE

The City Council of the City of Rollingwood heard the citizen input related to the Comprehensive Plan and did a call for volunteers to join the Rollingwood Comprehensive Plan Strike Force. This advisory citizen and stakeholder group will be instrumental in the development of the city’s first comprehensive plan and their input will be sought to ensure that a range of perspectives reflecting Rollingwood Community values are factored into the City’s long-term vision and implementation priorities. At a special called City Council meeting on October 2, 2020, the City Council appointed thirteen members to the Comprehensive Plan Strike Force.  

In Octover 2021, the Comprehensive Plan Strike Force of the City of Rollingwood approved the draft Comprehensive Plan Document, to be sent on to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council for Public Hearings and to consider approval. View the Proposed Comprehensive Plan Document on the Comprehensive Plan Strike Force Webpage HERE. 

WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?

Like every city in Central Texas, the City of Rollingwood is evolving. It is important that as we grow, we preserve what we love about our community now and in the future. The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to provide a long-range plan for how we will develop our community.  It includes looking at our future land use, transportation, parks, trails, drainage, infrastructure, facilities, fiscal health, and other areas. The plan is based on community input, interests, market drivers, and the physical layout of our City. 

WHY DO WE NEED A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?

The adoption of a Comprehensive Plan allows for both current and future City leaders to a have a guide and reference document to help inform the decision-making process.  It is based on our community values and aspirations. The Comprehensive Plan combines community input with the inventory of City resources. It specifies the way residents envision our community in the future and spells out strategies to accomplish our goals. The comprehensive plan maps out how the City will meet its needs for years to come.
