The City of Missouri City, Texas is currently considering updates to its Comprehensive Plan “Plan”. The purpose of this consideration is: (1) to ensure that the recommendations of the Plan are still relevant; (2) to reestablish a collective vision for the future development and redevelopment of remaining vacant land within the City; and (3) to examine implementation tools including zoning, development standards, and other factors, that create potential barriers for development in conformance with the collective vision.
Missouri City has a strong history of comprehensive planning as reflected throughout its 68 years of incorporation. The City completed its comprehensive master plan in 1971; adopted subdivision regulations in 1974; and established zoning in 1981.
The City’s most recent Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2017 and reflects policies and goals reflected by the community at that time and which were influenced by development activity within both Harris and Fort Bend counties. The 2017 Plan acknowledged challenges the City faces including aging infrastructure, the preservation of neighborhoods, encouraging economic development and strategic investments.

Land developed for single-family residential use remains the most common form of development within the city and its ETJ, extraterritorial jurisdiction. In 2017, approximately 43.1% of land within the city limits and ETJ was vacant, undeveloped land. However, the majority of this land is planned for single family residential uses within the Sienna master planned community.
The development potential of remaining undeveloped land has been identified as an area of concern due in part to the proximity to existing single family residential developments; environmental and ecological concerns.
It is understood that there are fewer undeveloped properties remaining for future development opportunities. This report seeks to update the amount of undeveloped land remaining and provide a vision for development potential or preservation of this remaining land.
Key corridors around the city have been identified to consider development and redevelopment potential. These corridors include:
o Cartwright Road (west of Texas Parkway to Dulles Ave)
o Fifth Street / Independence Blvd (South of Scanlin Rd to Independence Blvd; west to Fifth Street)
o FM 1092 (North of Cartwright Rd to city limits)
