What We Do

We collaborate with citizens, neighborhood and business groups, designers and engineers, as well as other City departments, City Council and its commissions to assess every aspect involved in a planning project, land use or development proposal. We also ensure that the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan and associated maps are updated as mandated by State and local laws and that they are followed, accordingly.
