What is a Comprehensive Plan?

The Comprehensive Plan serves as one of Arlington’s key policy documents and charts a course for the city's future. The plan is a blueprint for Arlington and focuses on the guidelines for developing attractive and prosperous neighborhoods; coordinating land use and transportation; ensuring responsible growth; stimulating economic development; and encouraging environmental sustainability. These strategies are also reflected in other city plans and regulations, which are the components and implementation tools of the Comprehensive Plan.

Now through October 2026, the city's Comprehensive Plan will undergo a major update. Community members and the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee will help Arlington, and its representatives, understand the goals of residents, business owners, workers, and visitors. The principal role of the Steering Committee is to build consensus and support for the various topics, approaches, and strategies within the plan. This website will be used to engage and listen to all stakeholders and provide a forum for their ideas. Using this site, different engagement methods will be used including: polls, forums, and questionnaires, to fully understand the desires of those who live and work in The American Dream City.
