Planning & Zoning

Apply for a planning application on our Online Portal.

The Planning Department reviews and processes all development applications through City staff, Architectural Review Committee, Planning Commission, Appeals and Variance Hearing Officer, and City Council approvals. The Planning staff coordinates other City department reviews of projects as they are submitted. The staff also provides direct assistance to various boards, commissions, and committees. The Planning Division maintains and updates the City's Zoning/Development Code, the official Zoning and Future Land Use maps, and the City's General Plan.
