The Planning Department prepares and maintains policy guidelines and reviews and processes various land use applications.  The staff works with the Development Review Board, the Planning Commission, City Council, and various subcommittees as needed.  

   

One of the main responsibilities of the department is the City's Comprehensive Plan, which serves as a policy guide for the overall development of the community, and includes the involvement of the Citizens Advisory Committee and City Council.
