Bee Cave moves forward in updating the city’s comprehensive plan

The “best practice” is for the plan to be analyzed every year before City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission, with updates typically occurring every five years, Baker said.

The details

New infrastructure, national standards and resident preferences all contribute to the need for updating the plan. Public engagement and input will also play a critical role in determining what needs to be included in the update, Baker said.

“It’s very important... to touch base with the community and hear what’s working very well or what maybe needs to be adjusted,” Baker said.

Town halls, virtual town hall meetings and a new on-demand system for residents to provide feedback on the comprehensive plan are laid out in the city's request for proposals.

What’s next

A selection committee will independently evaluate and score each proposal and collaboratively rank each one, followed by interviews of the candidates. The final selection will be presented to Bee Cave City Council for approval.

It is expected that the process will take 12-16 months.
