On November 18, 2021, Leland Town Council adopted the Leland 2045 comprehensive land use plan, setting the policy direction for land use, development, and open space preservation as Leland grows, increases in population, and changes in demographics.
Leland's Green Network Plan was adopted in 2024. The Green Network Plan is the culmination of shared goals and visions: To protect and maintain the health and ecological function of the Town’s natural resources that are fundamental to the lifestyle, economy, well-being, and resilience of the community.
Leland's Age-Friendly Community Strategic Plan was adopted in 2024. The Age-Friendly Plan helps communities becoming inclusive for all ages by adopting such features as safe, walkable streets; better housing and transportation options; access to key services; and opportunities for residents to participate in community activities.
Leland's Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP) was adopted in 2025. The IMP outlines a range of projects, policies, and actions to be implemented over the next 25 years to shape a more connected, accessible community. It also identifies mobility needs and improvement opportunities across all modes of transportation, including walking, biking, driving, and public transit, while prioritizing inclusiveness and equity to ensure the system serves all current and future residents and visitors.
Building on the momentum of the 2009 Master Plan adoption and the 2011 FlexCode adoption, the December 2012 Gateway Workshop was tasked with the nitty-gritty work of applying FlexCode standards to specific sections of Town, starting with the Gateway section and surrounding areas so that their development and redevelopment over the coming years can help bring the Leland vision to life. The result of that workshop is the Gateway Infill Plan, setting the path to creating the vision imagined in the 2009 Master Plan.
These plans have been incorporated into the latest guiding documents referenced above.
