The planning division works in conjunction with the board of zoning appeals, the planning commission, city council, and administration to formulate, establish, and administer land use policy and zoning and subdivision regulations.
Through short and long-range planning, the division acts to secure the logical, sound, and economical development of the city and to protect property and community values. It also investigates complaints concerning alleged violations of the zoning code and undertakes compliance proceedings which are appropriate to resolve each specific situation wherein a violation may exist.
