Comprehensive Plan

The City's Comprehensive Plan is the guiding document for the planning and development of the city's land use for the next twenty years. The purpose of this Comprehensive Plan is to establish a shared vision for New Prague; guide future decisions and actions; and assist in projecting and managing growth, change, public improvements, and development in the community. This guidance provides predictability and consistency over time to help encourage investment.

The difference between this Comprehensive Plan and a zoning ordinance is that the former sets forth the objectives and goals of the community with respect to land use, while the latter is a regulatory device through which the plan's goals and policies are carried out or achieved. Other ordinances, such as subdivisions regulations, are also utilized to carry out the goals of a Comprehensive Plan. 

This plan is an active part of the community's efforts to attract and retain residents and businesses to New Prague's unique small-town feel and development opportunities. The content within this plan aims to create the best version of the City for future generations to live, work, play and learn. 

This plan was adopted by the City Council at their meeting on October 21st, 2024.
