Planning Division

The Planning Division is responsible for the timely and accurate review of all land development permits including subdivisions, zoning, and environmental/critical areas review and appeals. This work involves service to the public that starts with initial questions well in advance of any permit application and continues through the project design phases, and the permit review process including any required public hearings, and ends with official City action on the project permit or with appeals of that City action if appeals are made. The Planning Division also is charged with preserving and enhancing the City’s Historic District and other historic structures in the City. In addition, the Planning Division is charged with ensuring that the City’s various land development codes are complied with as the land uses on individual properties change over time.
