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.

Development Review:

Site Plan Review and approval is required for all proposed uses and structures within the City, except for single-family detached dwellings and accessory structures, such as fences and garages. The Site Plan Review process is a convenient three (3) step process that start with a Pre-Application Meeting, followed by Preliminary Site Plan and Final Site Plan Reviews.

Administrative Site Plan Review may be allowed in the following cases:

Expansion or reduction of an existing conforming structure/use measuring less than 1,000 sq. ft. or less.
Changes of use within an existing building, provided the use is a permitted use within the zoning district of the site.
Provision for additional parking, loading/unloading spaces and landscape improvements required by Ordinance.
