This initiative aims to preserve Kerrville's unique character, improve residents' quality of life, and foster economic growth. The updated Comprehensive Plan will reaffirm the vision and goals of Kerrville 2050 while proposing actionable recommendations to guide future development, with a focus on the Downtown and Nimitz Lake Area.
Through the planning process, the City will offer engagement opportunities to allow residents to help shape the outcomes of the Plan update. Stay tuned to this site for updates and new engagement opportunities!

A comprehensive plan is a city-wide plan that addresses the long-term (usually 20-25 years) growth of a City. A comprehensive plan includes a look at future growth and land use as the basis, but can also address a series of other topics based on a city's unique needs. In Texas, municipal comprehensive plans are regulated by Sec. 213.002 of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.
A comprehensive plan:
Comprehensive plans allow cities to plan ahead for the expected growth and needs of their community. They establish a blueprint for a city to use to make sure the provision of services and quality of life are maintained (or even enhanced!) in the face of growth. This allows the City to be proactive rather than reactive and guide growth in a way that best serves residents and the community as a whole.
No, it is important to know that a comprehensive plan is not regulatory. It is not a legally binding document or a zoning ordinance. It can, however, serve as a basis for the future creation or updating of regulations, ordinances, and zoning.
The comprehensive plan is a reflection of the community's vision and values and is used as a tool for alignment, decision making and accountability. Below are ways the plan is intended to be used.
By City Staff
By Planning & Zoning Commission
By City Council
By the Business Community
By Residents
Check out the "Get Involved" section below for information on how to be involved in the comprehensive plan process. Or, reach out to the team any time via the "Comments and Questions for the Team" form provided on this site.
Implementation is an essential element of the comprehensive planning process that allows the City to take the recommendations in the Plan from vision to reality. Ultimately, this is a city-adopted plan and the City is responsible for overall implementation.
Implementation of a comprehensive plan will look different for each City, but usually includes an action plan with timelines, prioritization and recommended responsible parties. Additionally, proposed metrics are included for the City to use to track and measure progress and show accountability to the community.
Although this plan has a 20-25 year horizon, it is recommended that the City review and update their comprehensive plan at least every 5 years.
