2040 PLAN
Comprehensive Plan and Major Thoroughfare Plan
JUNE UPDATE: NEW PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS DATES ADDED - DETAILS BELOW
REFINING THE VISION OF BRENTWOOD
The Brentwood 2040 Plan is intended to be a strategic update to the city's existing Brentwood 2030 Plan, mapping out the future growth and development of our community. This process focuses on economic development strategies, future land use framework, revised and expanded goals and policies, and a clear implementation plan. By engaging in this process, you contribute to shaping the future of Brentwood.
What is a Comprehensive Plan
​​
A Comprehensive Plan is a long-term planning document that outlines the city's vision for growth, development, and preservation.
​
It reaffirms and establishes goals, policies, and strategies to guide land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure and public services to ensure sustainable and thoughtful development that aligns with the community's identified priorities.
Without an Updated Plan...
development and growth may occur or be directed towards unintended areas, leading to issues like traffic, overcrowding, infrastructure strain, and loss of the natural environment.
With a Plan, we can...
ensure growth is appropriately located, well-managed, infrastructure is supportive and maintained, and community character is preserved. A plan provides a framework for decision-making, managing and directing development, and protecting natural resources, while addressing residents' needs and priorities.
who creates
the plan
YOU! Brentwood 2040 Plan will be created from input of residents, businesses, property owners, students, and community stakeholders throughout the process. No one knows the community better than you!
how is it created?
Surveys, community meetings, and workshops will take place throughout the process. So we need you to share ideas and concerns. The City, along with consultants McBride Dale Clarion and Burch Transportation, organize all the feedback and draft the plan document.
how is it implemented
Once a final draft of the 2040 Plan is completed and reviewed, it will be voted on, and adopted. The 2040 Plan will then inform policy decisions, zoning and land use reviews, and project prioritization.
