Planning Division

We assist our residents and the general public with any inquiries related to zoning and land use at the Planning Counter during normal counter hours or via emails or phone calls. We also process development and land use applications such as new development, subdivisions, conditional use permits and small additions, and write staff reports for discretionary requests that require Planning Commission or City Council approval. We draft new zoning codes and prepare amendments to the General Plan.

Economic Development
We are committed to driving a vital and competitive economy that increases prosperity and quality of life for our residents and businesses. We assist in any way we can to achieve a more economically vibrant community.
Development Impact Fee Transparency
In September of 2021, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 602 and the Governor signed it into law. AB 602 created new requirements for development impact fees that went into effect on January 1, 2022. Specifically, the new law amends Government Code Section 65940.1 and added Section 66016.5 to impose the reporting requirements on cities, counties and special districts. This page is a repository of all the information required to be publicly posted under AB602. To learn more, visit the Development Impact Fee Transparency webpage.
