Review and Approvals
Design Review and Approval
Site, landscaping, and architectural changes require design review and approval by the City's Plan Commission, though certain minor projects or projects for single-family homes and duplexes may be approved by staff. Design review is also required for Conditional Use permits.
Planning and Zoning also handles related reviews and approvals for certified survey maps, rezonings, and land use map amendments.
Find out more about guidelines, procedures, and applications on the Design Review and Approval page.
Sign Review and Approval
Signs require review and approval in the form of a sign permit.
Find out more about guidelines, procedures, and applications on the Sign Review and Approval page.
Zoning
The City's zoning code determines what can be built, where. Find the zoning code and zoning map online.
Contact Planning and Zoning with general questions about zoning. Request formal zoning verification letters through the City's online Planning Application.
