The City of Bastrop adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 2016. Since then, the City has experienced significant changes and growth, including new developments and numerous public investments in roads, sewers and other infrastructure. To account for recent and future growth the City is updating portions of it 2016 Comprehensive Plan – Community Growth and Land Use & Community Image. Over the next four (4) weeks, the City will engage with the public through a series of short touch point surveys to gather input on past and future growth, resilient development, and community character and image. Each week, the City will disseminate a series of short surveys related to the various goals of the comprehensive plan. The four weeks will explore questions on the following:

· Week 1: Community goals

· Week 2: Future Land Use - What should Bastrop look like in 20 years?

· Week 3: Growth program - How can we grow responsibly?

· Week 4: Hazards analysis - Are we prepared enough?

Each week, the survey is intended to take five (5) minutes or less. While the survey is short, the responses are important. Your feedback will help us reaffirm community goals established in 2016 or identify new priorities to address future growth.
This is the second survey in our Bastrop 4 in 4 Community Touch Points Series. This week, we're focusing on Land Use in Bastrop. Land use is the tool the City uses to dictate what uses will be allowed on property within the city limits, such as residence versus a commercial/business use. Please take a moment to respond to the questions below. Sharing your feedback will help guide the City for the future development in Bastrop as it relates to land use. The following questions should only take you about five (5) minutes to answer.

The map below is the City’s Future Land Use Map. This map does not represent current zoning (land uses) but is the map the City uses to guide the decision making when evaluating where different developments should occur. For easier viewing, the Future Land Use Map can also be found here.
