Current Planning Division

The Planning Division maintains and implements the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and prepares other specialized planning documents, including Specific Plans. The Division reviews development requests for conformance with the City’s planning policies and standards, and conducts environmental review under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Planning Division also monitors and analyzes regional planning issues to determine their impact to the City. The division provides staff support to the Planning Commission, and City Council through the processing of rezoning, subdivisions, site plan reviews, use permits, variances, and other entitlements as shown on our Development Projects Map.

The General Plan and Zoning Code are in effect as of October 9,  2024.
