Community Development

What Do We Do?

The focus of the Community Development Department is property development and revitalization activity throughout the City, including land use planning, permit issuance and building plan check and inspection services, and code enforcement. It also administers programs aimed at the development of affordable low-income and moderate income housing.

 

Planning Division

The Planning Division performs advanced and current planning functions, including processing entitlements such as plan amendments, rezones, site plans, conditional use permits, and environmental assessments. The Planning Division also prepares and maintains the General Plan and various community specific, and redevelopment plans, processes annexations, provides public counter planning services and coordinates efforts of citizen advisory and plan implementation committees.

Building Division

The Building Division is responsible for permit processing, plan New Bianchi Community Centerchecking, and inspection services for public and private projects. The Building Division provides public counter services, processes subdivision, UGM, and various entitlements associated with development, and provides planning and engineering staff support to commercial and residential projects.

  

Code Enforcement Division

The Code Enforcement Division enforces zoning violations and residential or public nuisances which create eyesores or otherwise interfere with quality of life for the community at large. The code enforcement process is initiated by an observation made by a resident. The city relies on residents to help identify possible code violations.
