Comprehensive Plan 
The City's Comprehensive Plan provides in-depth information on the City's current policy position and long-range planning. The primary users of the comprehensive plan are the City Council, Planning Commission, Parks and Open Spaces Commission, and City Staff who must use the plan to guide the ongoing decisions of the City of Mound. 

The City of Mound is required to complete and keep updated a Comprehensive Plan under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 and all subsequent amendments to that act. 

2040 Comprehensive Plan
On January 28, 2020, the City Council approved the current 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan is the guide for future growth, redevelopment and improvement of the community. It provides the blueprint, goals and policies to ensure the community continues to be a place where people want to live, work, shop, and play. 

The Plan addresses the following:

• The future vision for the community
• The future land use plan
• The protection of natural resources
• Expanding the range of housing types to meet changing housing needs
• The location and improvement of parks, open space, and recreational facilities
• Transportation needs and enhancements
• Municipal infrastructure facilities 

Comprehensive Plan Amendment
In January 2024, the City Council approved an amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. An amendment took into consideration a revised vision of the community that acknowledged the City of Mound as fully developed. The primary area of change was related to the mixed-use land use category.
