The Planning Department manages land use, zoning, and development to support orderly, safe, and sustainable growth. It oversees planning policies, permits, subdivisions, and rezoning while coordinating with public works, utilities, and fire departments to ensure development meets safety and infrastructure standards through the adoption of general or comprehensive plan policies. The department is composed of Health, Building, and Code Enforcement divisions, which help monitor compliance with zoning, safety, health, and development regulations.
