Planning and Zoning
We encourage you to visit our new Online Maps Webpage with planning and land use information!

In addition, the Department handles updates to, and the implementation of, the City's Comprehensive Plan. The plan defines the long-range goals and intentions regarding the direction of future development within the City. It contains elements on land use, transportation, community facilities, design, historic preservation, and housing.

The Building Safety Division has adopted the 2018 ICC Buildings Codes. All permits submitted on or after October 10, 2018 must adhere to the 2018 codes. If you would like free access to these codes, please click here.
All deck permits must submit engineered stamped plans at the time of application per our recent adoption of the 2018 ICC Building Codes.
The Building Department no longer requires building permits for like for like window permits. We have amended this requirement with the adoption of the 2018 IRC Code. This amendment is effective now.
