Current Planning Division

This division addresses short-term growth and development issues through the zoning process. It handles any zoning changes and variances, and reviews applications for Planned Unit Developments and cell towers. It also provides technical and support staff to the Land Use and Zoning Committee, Planning Commission, Tower Review Committee and the Industrial Technical Advisory Committee. The Current Planning team works with the public to address any zoning concerns.

This year it is working to create a Web-based zoning application process that will create more transparency and provide more easy-to-access information prior to zoning hearings.
