Quality Planned Development  |  An Introduction

Master planned developments of Greater West Houston have established a benchmark for quality living and working environments for quality homes and commercial areas.  The design and implementation of their basic and expanded facilities add quality and aesthetic elements which translate into enhanced near term and long term value for the buyers and the surrounding community.

The West Houston Association has developed a private sector based program which identifies the most common elements found in these communities and encourages developers to incorporate them into their new developments.

Introduction

These elements or standards which may be found here, address homeowner associations, restrictive covenants, landscaped buffers, detention basins and signage among other issues.  For commercial development they address covenants, landscaped buffers, screening, lighting and signage among other issues.

The West Houston Association believes these elements when designed into a residential or commercial development attract a substantial number of buyers seeking better, protected value.  We believe it is in the best self interest of the development community to provide products that meet this market demand.

The Quality Planned Development (QPD) program is an instrument by which the West Houston Association can spotlight these higher standards in action.  Developments will be asked to apply for the QPD designation and once approved, will receive license to utilize the QPD logo in promotion of their products.

The QPD application and check list may be found here.
