Development Process
Planning and Development Services provides customer service in the area of development review. Planning staff coordinates the review of development applications and is the primary contact between applicants, city staff, outside agencies and other interested parties. Staff provides information to residents, community organizations, special interest groups, developers, realtors and other interested parties regarding land development issues. Planning provides staff support and professional advice to the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council and other city boards and commissions. Planning administers the city’s land development ordinances and updates the ordinances as needed in response to direction from the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission, or as a result of new or revised county, state, and federal regulations and changing development trends.
