The Planning & Zoning Department provides an important service to citizens by helping to insure that new construction and new businesses are in compliance with city zoning and development ordinances and that land within the City and its extra-territorial jurisdiction area is platted in accordance with the city’s subdivision ordinances.
“Zoning” regulates how land is used and protects the character of each district. Zoning protects property value and the overall quality of the community as a whole through controlling density, construction and intensity of land use, as well as setting standards for screening, building setbacks and height.
“Platting” is the way in which property is divided, through laying out on paper or mapping each piece of land. A recorded plat indicates lots, building lines, easements and rights-of-way, flood areas, boundary markers and other permanent attachments to land.
