Planning & Zoning
Planning and Zoning staff administer the City Code, Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances and the Comprehensive Plan. They serve as the technical advisor on planning and zoning issues, which are brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The primary responsibility of this Advisory Committee is to oversee the growth and development for the City.
Concept meetings are encouraged on all new projects, giving applicants the chance to meet with the City Planner and appropriate Department Heads to guide the applicant on the proper procedures and necessary requirements to comply with existing City Ordinances.
The Planning and Zoning Commission meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm in Council Chambers.
