Planning & Zoning

The Planning and Zoning Commission meets the Third Thursday of each month.  Meetings are held in the City Council Chambers at 212 Third Avenue.  Regularly scheduled meetings begin at 7:00pm

The planning and zoning processes are done in a comprehensive, and continuing process to meet community goals of housing, health, safety, transportation, economic development, beautification, preservations and protection.  Through the guidance of professional planners, the City Council develops and adopts a plan for future zoning and land uses.  It is then the duty of the Plan Commission to review plans submitted to the City for conformance to the plan. 

Zoning Fee Schedule

  • Zoning changes and Special Use Permits are $150 plus the cost for all notices and certified mailings
  • Planned Unit Development (PUD) fees are $100 for the first acre and $50 for each additional acre
  • Subdivision fees are $100 for the first 5-acres, plus $5 per lot
  • Stormwater and Erosion Control fees are based upon the actual cost of the review and are billed to the owner or developer
