The Uptown Community Plan provides detailed policy direction to implement the General Plan with respect to the distribution and arrangement of land uses, the local street and transit network, the prioritization of public facilities, community and site specific urban design guidelines, and recommendations to preserve and enhance natural open space and historic and cultural resources with the Uptown Community.

The City's General Plan is its constitution for development. It is comprised of 11 elements that provide a comprehensive slate of citywide policies and further the City of Villages smart growth strategy for growth and development.

Community Plans refine the General Plan's citywide policies, designate land uses and housing densities, and provide additional site-specific recommendations as needed.

Most recently amended and approved in October 2025, the UpCPG Operating Procedures govern the planning group.
