The General Plan. Houstons take on zoning.

Quote:
The City of Houston launched a new era in planning this week with the kickoff for the General Plan. The approach for preparing a general plan builds on existing plans, studies, policies, practices and regulations that make Houston a prosperous, healthy and sustainable city.

The Houston Planning Commission will lead the process to create a General Plan for the city of Houston. A subcommittee of the Commission will serve as the Steering Committee for this effort which is slated to conclude by the summer of 2015. Mayor Annise D. Parker also named a General Plan Stakeholder Committee that consists of members of organizations representing a broad number of interests and community members representing Houston’s diverse neighborhoods. This committee will provide information for the content of the plan and feedback on the plan’s components.

“Houston is constantly changing and growing. We have to have a better way to plan for that growth,” said Mayor Annise D. Parker. “A general plan will allow us to better coordinate our resources, create opportunities for innovative partnerships and provide a path to achieving our goals.”

The goal of the General plan is to create a citywide vision and create collaboration across city departments, address projected growth and finds new and better approaches to manage projected growth, create continuity across changes in city leadership and create a strategic regional vision necessary for Houston to fully realize global opportunity and potential.

So what happened to "The no-zoning makes Houston Quirky" crowd. First yall pump Houston up for it's no-zoning quirkiness while discrediting Dallas because of zoning saying its sterile and bland....but on the flipside yall plan to create a zoning plan because yall really whish Houston looked as nice as dallas.....and ZONING is the only way to make it more civilized.

The same way you Houstonians are doing with transportation. ....Yall dog Dallas for having such a large train system that goes to the SUBURBS! !!!!...... and...... connecting to other cities(Denton and Ft.Worth)by commuter rail. Then point out how metros one line is way better being only 7 miles long serving the densest areas of houston "inside the loop"....Oh and we are crazy not to see that metro rail is planned way better than DART..........but on the flip side .....they secretly do studies and plans to build a commuter rail line to where ................The SUBURBS!!!!!
