Those interested can submit their thoughts on the proposal, which lays out plans to deal with flooding and drainage, commercial development and park land, among other things.
What readers need to know
League City documents show the west side of town could have more than 16,000 residents by 2030.
To deal with the coming growth and development, the city is working on a master plan for the area and held an open house Nov. 6 to lay out ongoing plans and set the stage to gather more residential feedback.
The goal of the plan is to help create a guide for development, establish a gateway for the city and prepare the area for a number of projects slated within its boundaries, namely the extension of Grand Parkway, which will run through the area in question.
Results from a previous survey carried out showed residents overwhelmingly wanted more active and developed parks, according to city documents.
To meet that demand, ideas considered include dedicating one acre of parkland for every 75 lots developed in the area, 15 acres of public parkland for every 1,000 residents, and improved trail connectivity.
What else?
Some ideas pitched at the open house included hybrid detention areas, such as Eleanor Tinsley Park in Houston. Such a project would give a place for an overflowing bayou to cascade over. When not retaining water, the area could act as a public space for residents to gather.
Other priorities included passive parks and family-oriented entertainment, community centers and libraries, and retail and restaurants, documents show.
As part of improving interconnectivity within the city, League City City Council last month approved an updated mobility plan, which lays out a number of projects throughout town.

The newest survey will be open for residents until Dec. 5, according to city documents. Once it closes, the city will begin looking at citizen input and reviewing the plan. The hope is to have the plan approved by April.
