Downtown Tomball Advisory Committee
 This site is intended to provide
up-to-date information on the development of
the Dowtown Specific Plan (DSP). Tomball is dedicated to taking a
proactive approach in soliciting citizen and
stakeholder comments early and often to
ensure that all community planning projects
are reflective of the community’s values,
goals and objectives.

The
Tomball Downtown Specific Plan (DSP)
is an important step in the implementation
of the City’s 2010 Strategic Plan,
Comprehensive Plan and Livable Centers
Downtown Plan. The City Council has
identified the downtown as a priority focus
area for the next five years and identified
the DSP as an important project to complete.
The Comprehensive Plan provides the broad
vision for the community and identified the
importance of positioning downtown Tomball
as an economic hub and community destination
while preserving its historic character and
neighborhoods. The DSP process will further
define this vision by creating an effective
planning tool and regulatory document that
will be used to determine appropriate
development and redevelopment within the
downtown area.
The DSP will create a new downtown land
use zone and zoning sub-districts for
significant areas of the downtown core and
will provide customized development
standards and land use charts for each of
the individual districts within the DSP
zone. The DSP will be in a streamlined,
user-friendly format, whereby, in one
document, zoning, economic development,
infrastructure, and architectural design
parameters for the downtown will be
contained.
The DSP effort will be led by the
Engineering & Planning Department and the
City’s consultant, Partners for Strategic
Action, Inc. (PSA), and will engage
community stakeholders throughout the
planning process.
