Is Bellaire headed in the right direction, attracting the kind of developments and redevelopments that enhance your everyday quality of life? Or are there aspects of our zoning regulations we need to revisit and update to better fulfill your vision for the Bellaire of today and tomorrow?
The Comprehensive Plan is our foundational, long-term policy statement of who we are and who we want to be, and is what will guide both public and private investments that will shape the City’s physical redevelopment and community character for decades to come. As such, it’s critical we review the Plan from time to time, and in doing so cast a wide net to capture as many perspectives as possible. Our current Comprehensive Plan Review is well underway, and as part of that process residents and other stakeholders are invited to participate in an online Survey on Bellaire’s Future, now through July 28.
This format allows for personal, candid input in ways in-person listening sessions might not, and is accessible to fill out at your convenience. We recognize the survey is not the be-all and end-all, and it isn’t intended to be. But it is a useful tool to secure feedback from those we might not otherwise reach, and is timed so as to inform a deeper, ongoing public discussion of the key issues that emerge as the Review progresses.
Also, some additional engagement opportunities have been announced for next week:
