Sugar Land Future Land Use Plan

• Location: Sugar Land, Texas
• Client: City of Sugar Land
• Project date: July 2015 - August 2018
• Project URL: SugarLandTX.gov

A long and contentious process lasting over five years culminated in a forward looking land use plan for the City of Sugar Land. The residents were resistant to change and attached to their suburban lifestyle, but the city staff foresaw a need to densify and cater to younger populations in order to remain economically sustainable in the future. This resident committee and public eventually reached a consensus around proposing new denser activity centers with commercial activity, with a buffer of multifamily at the edges, transitioning into traditional single-family neighborhoods across the city.
