Planning & Development

Welcome to the Planning and Development Department Website. We hope that you will find our site helpful and informative. It is designed to be a resource and guide as it provides information on the city's planning-related boards and commissions, plans and studies, on-going projects as well as a connection to construction and development-related information. It is our goal to provide the same information on the Internet that you can obtain in our office.

 We accomplish our mission by:

• Facilitating and promoting a shared, comprehensive plan for the development of the community that advances a quality environment, both natural and built;
• Creating strategies that guide development in a manner that protects and enhances the community; and by
• Administering services that implement the comprehensive plan and form a safe, sustainable and livable place.
