The Comprehensive Plan, named Plan Pelham, serves as a guide for the future development of the city. It includes documents such as the Comprehensive Plan itself, an Executive Summary, an Existing Conditions report, a Housing Market Analysis, and a Public Involvement Summary.

The Pelham Master Plan 2022 is a 10-year strategic plan guiding the town's future growth and development. It addresses the town's long-term objectives, identifies opportunities and challenges, and provides a framework for decision-making on budgets, ordinances, and infrastructure improvements. Key areas of focus include population and housing, land use, natural resources, transportation, community facilities, economic development, historic resources, and future land use, with a specific focus on senior center facilities. The plan's development involves community engagement through questionnaires and a Master Plan committee working with Resilience Planning & Development, LLC. The plan aims to create a vision for the town's future and ensure its sustainable growth.

The Pelham Master Plan, completed on June 29, 2023, outlines actions to guide the town's future development. Key focus areas include stewarding rural lands and waters through open space conservation, water resource protection, and trail development; fostering a multi-generational and sustainable community by addressing housing needs, improving community services and facilities, and enhancing multi-modal transportation; and developing an active town center and local economy by supporting businesses, improving infrastructure, and promoting sustainability. The plan details specific actions across these areas, including land acquisition, regulatory updates, infrastructure improvements, community engagement initiatives, and sustainability projects. Implementation will involve collaboration among town staff, officials, boards, community partners, and residents.
