A community’s Comprehensive Plan provides long-range, community-identified goals and objectives to guide local and regional policy makers on all decisions. The current New Braunfels Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1999 and last updated in 2006. The current community-driven planning effort, known as ‘Envision New Braunfels,’ will be drafted by nine subcommittees or Plan Element Advisory Groups. These groups are made up of approximately 300 interested citizens, residents, property owners and other stakeholders, with more being added daily.
