Manvel’s population increased by nearly 41% between 2018-23, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
The city’s approach to managing that growth is centered on zoning, infrastructure capacity and location of development, including where master-planned communities are built, Mayor Dan Davis said.
Along the city’s major corridors, land is zoned for light commercial use, while much of the city remains zoned for open single-family residential development, Davis said.
Manvel’s residential development has expanded in recent years with the addition of several ongoing and planned master-planned communities, including Pomona, Valencia, Del Bello and Meridiana.
