The Planning Division is mainly responsible for long range planning, land use permitting, and environmental services and is under the direction of the Planning Manager. The Division works with the City Council, Planning Commission, State agencies responsible for Growth Management, private sector developers, and other city divisions and departments to plan the future of the City. This is accomplished by developing, amending, and facilitating the Comprehensive Plan and Sub-area Plans that reflect the desires of the public. In addition, the Division also reviews land use permit applications such as subdivisions, multi-family development, and commercial building projects.
