Comprehensive Planning

Imagine GNV Logo High Res.jpg

The city works to ensure orderly growth and to maintain the character and stability of present and future land use and development through comprehensive planning. The comprehensive plan identifies a community's resources and the long range community needs and goals. It provides a process for developing community consensus and for local governments to consider the human, environmental, social, and economic impacts of future commercial and residential land use.  

Imagine GNV- The Comprehensive Plan 2035

In September 2024, the Gainesville City Commission directed staff to re-draft Imagine GNV in a more simplified and traditional format. Planning staff have taken the lead on coordinating City departments through the re-drafting effort and expect to present a revised document to the Commission in August 2025.
