The Comprehensive Plan is the official guide for growth of the Town. It provides the framework and policy direction for the creation of land use and development regulations. The current plan, Pathway to 2040 Northlake Comprehensive Plan Update (PDF), was adopted by Town Council on December 8, 2016, following an inclusive public participation process, including Town Hall meetings and surveys, an interactive Strategic Foresight Lab and Developer Roundtable, several Steering Committee meetings and Town Council workshops, and finally a public hearing prior to adoption.
