Schertz recently completed the new Comprehensive Land Use Plan in Spring 2024. Beginning in March of 2023, City of Schertz staff along with planning consultants Freese and Nichols, Inc. worked to update the Comprehensive Plan. The goal of the project was to create a Comprehensive Plan that is streamlined and easy to use and help provide direction for the future development of the city. Within this framework, the team was able to create a new plan and future land use map for the entire City.
The Schertz City Council adopted the new Comprehensive Plan on April 2, 2024. The new Comprehensive Plan provides a vision for the future that aligns with Schertz’s goals and values.
