LAND USE PLANNING
The Land Use Planning Section, current planning, is responsible for implementation of the land use code, involving processing land use applications and providing information to the public. Land use applications consist of land use or development requests: zone changes, conditional use permits, land divisions, amendments to community plans and more.

METRO AND COMMUNITY PLANNING
Metro and Community Planning  focuses on major, multi-year projects that will yield information and policies to help guide economically, socially and environmentally sustainable growth and development patterns over the longer term. These projects are exploring how and where the city will grow and develop, how to balance compact growth with protection of neighborhood character, how to create walkable neighborhoods with good transit access, what additional natural areas need protection, and how to address neighborhood needs in a neighborhood-based planning context.
