Community Development and Zoning

The City is a planned community whose future is directed by the Master Plan, which is regularly reviewed and updated by the Planning Commission.
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) outlines a schedule of public service expenditures over the ensuing five-year period and beyond.
Zoning in the City is governed by the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council.
