Title
Consider and take action on a resolution designating the Planning and Zoning Commission as the Steering Committee for the City’s Master Mobility Plan Update (Director of Public Works and Director of Planning and Development)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will designate the Planning and Zoning Commission as the Steering Committee for the City's Master Mobility Plan Update. The purpose of the Master Mobility Plan is to establish guiding principles and policies for the development of an efficient, safe city-wide transportation network that accommodates all roadway users among the growing residential and employment population of League City, and that enhances the desired character and function of current and future development. The policies are generally carried out by the development community as part of new development and/or the City as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
League City’s current Master Mobility Plan was adopted in 2011, and the City has seen an almost 20% increase in population since that time. This growth has led to increased traffic congestion and other mobility challenges that, if left unchecked, could hinder the City’s continued growth and attractiveness. Consequently, it is necessary to continually update the Plan to address the challenges directly and proactively. This Plan update is currently underway.
The proposed Steering Committee would work directly with City staff and the consultant during the drafting of the Plan update. Ultimately, the Committee will be tasked with crafting a Plan commensurate with the needs of the community and recommending approval of said Plan to the City Council.
