The Comprehensive Plan is a document that sets the context for future growth and development in Carrollton. Required by state laws that specify its overall content and structure, the Comprehensive Plan is a community designed document that consists of a series of interrelated chapters, or elements, analyzing the community's future land use, transportation, parks and recreation, and other infrastructure and environmental issues, needs, challenges, and opportunities. 

The Comprehensive Plan is important because it sets the overall policy context for future growth and development within Carrollton. The Comprehensive Plan will address growth pressures in the city, future public facilities and services needs, preservation of community character and natural resources, urban design and architectural standards and other important issues affecting the quality of life and character of the city.
