Attendees can talk to Planning Department staff at the meeting about the Future Land Use Map Update (2022) and the update to Chapter 4 (Land Use) of the Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Plan.

The Plan sets forth a 20-year vision for growth and development and establishes a guide for policy, program, and project initiatives. The purpose of the Future Land Use Map is to inform development decisions, to ensure the efficient use of land to accommodate growth and development; to minimize opportunities for incompatible land uses; and to efficiently coordinate land use and infrastructure needs.

The proposed updates to the comprehensive plan and future land use map will be posted to the City’s website at www.murfreesborotn.gov the week of Feb. 14, 2022 at www.murfreesborotn.gov/planning.
