Community Design Plan

CDP Final Logo


What is the Community Design Plan?
The Community Design Plan is an exciting effort by the City of Plano to evaluate and provide review criteria for the desired functional and aesthetic qualities of new development and redevelopment - ranging from architectural features, landscaping, streetscape, and overall site design.

This effort builds upon the direction provided by the Future Lane Use Dashboards of the Comprehensive Plan and is intended to provide more detail on community preferences for various land use contexts across Plano.

The standards of the Community Design Plan will supplement the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Thoroughfare Standards, and other city ordinances that shape the development and the future of Plano.
