The Planning Division prepares and presents discretionary project reviews and recommendations including General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes, Conditional Use Permits, Variances, Subdivisions, and Zoning Ordinance Amendments. The Planning Division is in charge of approving administrative applications such as sign permits, fence permits, minor development projects, certificate of occupancy, zoning, home occupations, childcare facilities, and other development proposals.
