Planning and Zoning

 

Planning and Zoning are responsible for improving the quality of life by developing and recommending growth management strategies, encouraging aesthetically pleasing development, and ensuring our community grows through sound development practices. The Divisions are responsible for processing and reviewing rezonings, special use permits, variances, site plans, and subdivisions. They are also responsible for long-range planning, including special studies, as well as developing, enforcing, and updating the County's Comprehensive Plan, and the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance.

 

The Zoning Administrator is empowered to enforce violations of the Zoning Ordinance such as inoperable vehicles, excessive trash, and uncut grass at abandoned houses.   To report Zoning Ordinance violations, please contact the Planning and Zoning Office at (757) 253-6685.
