The Community Development Department is responsible for working with residents, developers, and business owners to administer the City’s Zoning Code as well as the State Building Code. The Department works closely with the Planning Commission, Parks Commission, Heritage Preservation Commission, and City Council for review of permits, developments, studies, the City’s Comprehensive Plan, as well as other various planning processes. The Department reviews all building permits prior to construction of a project and completes inspections to ensure both the Building Code and public safety are being met.
