Planning & Zoning

The Department of Planning & Zoning coordinates with surrounding local governments as well as County and State agencies to ensure that the City’s planning, zoning and development policies and practices are contemporary, progressive and well informed.  The department administers the Comprehensive Plan; Zoning, Subdivision and Land Development Regulations; Sign Regulations; Conservation Programs including Tree Protection Regulations, and the Community Development Block Grant Program.

Additionally, Planning & Zoning works closely with the Building, Public Works and Public Utilities Departments to review applications for various types of development permits.  Staff is available to provide procedural information to the public and support to the Community Development Board and the City Commission.
