Horseshoe Bay leaders are asking residents to share their thoughts as work continues on a comprehensive plan that will guide the city’s growth through the year 2040.
The community’s feedback on a wide range of topics, including commercial and residential development; neighborhood safety; city character; transportation and connectivity; and other key initiatives will help shape Horseshoe Bay’s future.
Residents can submit their thoughts and feedback through the Comprehensive Plan Survey, available for download at this link. Once filled out, the survey can be submitted in person at Horseshoe Bay City Hall, 1 Community Drive. Submit the survey by email to csharp@horseshoe-bay-tx.gov.
“The comprehensive plan will define the city’s future planning for the next 15 years,” City Manager Jeff Koska told DailyTrib. “It requires input from the community on what is the desired outcome of that planning. This plan will provide a guide for future decision-making for the community. We are blessed to have many talented citizens to weigh in on what is best for our future.”
Mayor Jeff Jones added that the success of the plan depends on collaboration between residents and city staff.
“A comprehensive plan should be a collaboration between the citizens’ vision of the overall amenities, services and direction of the community and the city staff’s recommendation of the feasibility and legalities of each of these visions,” Jones told DailyTrib. “Without residents weighing in on their vision of what the future should look like for the community, the city council and the staff are left to guess as to the appropriateness of the plan.”
Serving as a long-term roadmap, the plan will help city leaders align policies, infrastructure, and investments with residents’ priorities as Horseshoe Bay continues to evolve. To ensure the plan reflects the community’s vision, city officials gathered extensive input through a 2024 survey, which was shared last December at a council meeting.
Residents highlighted top priorities such as more entertainment, expanded public spaces, a defined downtown district, and better shopping options, all while preserving Horseshoe Bay’s lakeside resort character. The report combined insights from over 50 stakeholder interviews, more than 1,000 survey responses, and 300 public comments, providing a strong foundation of community feedback to guide the comprehensive plan.
