Planning - Community Development
Planning and Community Development
The Planning and Community Development Department is the City liaison to the business and residential community. This department facilitates:
Land Use Commissions, including the Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, and Architectural/Design Board.
Master Plan creation and implementation, including grant applications.
Land Use Commissions
The Land Use Commissions review applications for development in the City.
Master Plans and Grants
Master Plans capture the current condition and long-term visions for a particular place (like a park), system (traffic signals and crossings), or the whole city. They provide a framework for collecting the views of residents and forming them into an actionable plan. Master Plans also provide support for grant applications, demonstrating that the City has thought through options and incorporated community input. To stay informed about meetings for future Master Plans, be sure to sign up for ReadyNotify.
