Planning & Zoning


Planning and Zoning is responsible for providing support to the community by interpreting and implementing the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Regulations as adopted by City Council. This consists of processing applications for all aspects of land development. Planning and Zoning also serves as staff support to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and Design Review Board
