On June 25, 2024, the City Council postponed this item to September 24, 2024, in order to allow staff to revise the scope of work and reduce the overall cost. The scope of work has been revised so that City staff will conduct all public input sessions with citizens, which reduced the overall cost of the contract from $90,000 to $80,560.
Plan Lubbock 2040, the City's Comprehensive Plan, was adopted by the City Council in December 2018. This plan contains a framework of goals, actions, and time frames for the City of Lubbock to implement, in order to support the vision expressed in the document.
Included in Plan Lubbock 2040 is the Future Land Use Map and Future Land Use Plan, which utilized existing conditions, fiscal impact modeling, and community visioning, to provide guidance for Lubbock’s future land development.
Since then, it has been determined that the current zoning of certain properties, when compared to existing development, are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map and Future Land Use Plan. Allowing these to continue in their current manner could allow for development patterns that would be inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map, goals of the Future Land Use Plan, and the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Lubbock.
This project supports and furthers the City Council goals of Community Improvement, Growth and Development, and Economic Development and Redevelopment.
