Planners in Plano, Texas are ready to pick up the pieces and move on from the demise of the Plano Tomorrow comprehensive plan.
"A week after scrapping the controversial development plan known as Plano Tomorrow, the city is going back to the drawing board," reports Teri Webster.
Specifically, the city's Comprehensive Plan Review Committee informed the Plano City Council "that work is beginning to develop a new plan that will guide the city’s growth in the years ahead," according to Webster. "The 16-member review committee is studying parts of Plano Tomorrow and is working with the Planning & Zoning Commission to recommend a new plan."
Planetizen picked up the news about the demise of the Plano Tomorrow plan on August 3. Without the Plano Tomorrow plan to guide development in the city, Plano has reverted to the previous comprehensive plan adopted by the city in 1986.
