The Long Range Planning Division is responsible for long term land use planning within the City of Dallas.  This division consists of two main functions:

forwardDallas! Implementation: The forwardDallas! Comprehensive Plan was adopted by City Council on June 14, 2006.  It was developed though a public process involving thousands of citizens and establishes a citywide vision, policy guide and implementation program for future growth and redevelopment.  forwardDallas! Implementation is done through an annually updated two-year work program.  The work program includes targeted area planning efforts focused on strategic growth areas.  It includes planning efforts to create new programs and regulations needed to realize the forwardDallas! Vision.

Neighborhood Preservation focuses on protecting and maintaining the unique character of particular areas and buildings.   This is done through establishing and monitoring Historic Districts and Conservation Districts. Historic Districts protect areas and buildings that are demonstrated to have historic significance based on guidelines established by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior.  Conservation Districts are established in response to neighborhood interest to maintain the scale and character of an area through special regulations.
